Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photographic auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a tubular distributed support leg and a tubular tripod. Background Technology

[0002] Tripods are commonly used in photography and videography, providing stable and level support for photographic equipment. Take a multi-section tubular tripod as an example: multiple hollow tubes of different diameters are nested together to form extendable support legs, with locking mechanisms between the sections to prevent slippage and ensure a secure connection. For example, in the prior art, patent CN209622399U, entitled "A Tripod Support Leg Tube," the support leg tube unit includes a main plug and a support leg tube. A telescopic unit is located between the main plug and the support leg tube to adjust the length of the support leg tube for horizontal adjustment of the tripod. In this structure, the length of each support leg needs to be adjusted in segments, which is inconvenient and inefficient. Furthermore, current tripod support leg telescopic units are single-tube designs, resulting in poor stability and strength, and a short service life. Another example is the tripod disclosed in prior art CN114440094A, which uses a lever locking method. The transmission cam 17 rotates, causing steel balls 5 to extend from the cavity 10. The steel balls 5 pry the lever components 6 on both sides to rotate, thereby locking the legs. This lever locking method is laborious to operate, complex in structure, and costly. Moreover, in this type of tripod, if... Figure 3 As shown, the transmission rod 16 protrudes from the legs in the horizontal direction. External forces can easily touch the protruding transmission rod, causing the transmission components and their connected locking components to loosen. After a period of use, the locking effect becomes poor and the service life is short. Furthermore, because the transmission rod protrudes from the legs, the tripod is bulky when folded up and not easy to carry. Summary of the Invention

[0055] Specifically, in the embodiment 1, the middle leg 2 is movable relative to the upper leg, and the lower leg 3 is movable relative to the middle leg 2, so that the length of the support leg is telescopic; and the two upper pipes 7 are respectively located on the two sides of the upper middle shaft 6, the two middle pipes 9 are respectively located on the two sides of the upper middle shaft 6 and are slidably arranged in the bottom base 5, and the upper ends of the two lower pipes 11 are respectively slidably arranged in the two middle pipes 9, so that the support leg of the embodiment 1 is in the form of pipe distribution, the problems of poor strength and stability of the traditional single-pipe support leg are overcome, the strength and stability among the upper leg 1, the middle leg 2 and the lower leg 3 are improved, the service life is prolonged, and the cost is saved; in order to realize the position locking among the upper leg 1, the middle leg 2 and the lower leg 3, the upper middle shaft 6, the middle middle shaft 8, the upper locking mechanism and the lower locking mechanism are further arranged; due to the above distribution, the upper middle shaft 6 and the upper pipe 7 and the middle middle shaft 8 and the middle pipe 9 are also in the form of pipe distribution, so as to ensure the structural strength; after the positions of the upper leg 1, the middle leg 2 and the lower leg 3 are adjusted, the upper middle shaft 6 is rotated, the middle middle shaft 8 is driven to rotate, the upper locking mechanism and the lower locking mechanism are driven to act at the same time, the upper pipe 7 and the lower pipe 11 are locked at the same time, the length of the support leg is fixed, the operation is convenient and simple, the segmented locking or unlocking is not needed, and the user's convenience is improved.

[0056] In the embodiment, the lower end of the upper middle shaft 6 is provided with a middle shaft connecting piece 12, the upper end of the middle middle shaft 8 is slidably arranged in the middle shaft connecting piece 12 and is slidably arranged in the upper middle shaft 6, and the middle shaft connecting piece 12 is rotatably arranged in the bottom base 5; preferably, a bearing is arranged between the middle shaft connecting piece 12 and the bottom base 5. Specifically, the middle middle shaft 8 is coaxially connected with the upper middle shaft 6 through the middle shaft connecting piece 12, so that the upper middle shaft 6 drives the middle middle shaft 8 to rotate when the upper middle shaft 6 rotates, the upper locking mechanism and the lower locking mechanism are driven to lock at the same time, the middle middle shaft 8 can slide relative to the axial direction of the upper middle shaft 6, the telescopic extension between the upper pipe 7 and the middle pipe 9 is facilitated, and the structure design is ingenious.

[0057] In the embodiment, the upper locking mechanism includes an upper locking base 13, the upper ends of the two middle pipes 9 are fixedly connected with the upper locking base 13, a first middle shaft hole 14 is arranged in the middle of the upper locking base 13, upper pipe holes 15 are arranged on the two sides of the upper locking base 13, and the two upper pipes 7 are slidably arranged in the upper pipe holes 15;

[0058] The upper braking member 16 is rotationally arranged in the first middle shaft hole 14, and first movable grooves 17 are formed on both sides of the first middle shaft hole 14. The first middle shaft hole 14 and the upper pipe hole 15 are respectively communicated with the first movable grooves 17. The first movable grooves 17 are movably arranged with first push rods 18, which can move horizontally in the first movable grooves 17. One end of the first push rod 18 abuts against the outer wall of the upper braking member 16, and the other end of the first push rod 18 is provided with a first locking block 19. The upper section middle shaft rod 6 is slidably arranged in the upper braking member 16. The upper braking member 16 is provided with a first connecting hole, and the upper section middle shaft rod 6 is slidably arranged in the first connecting hole. The upper section middle shaft rod 6 is a special-shaped pipe, and the first connecting hole is matched with the upper section middle shaft rod 6, so that the upper section middle shaft rod 6 can only move axially relative to the first connecting hole, and the upper section middle shaft rod 6 and the upper braking member 16 cannot rotate relative to each other.

[0059] When the upper end middle shaft rod rotates, the upper braking member 16 is driven to rotate, so that the first locking block 19 is extended into the upper pipe hole 15 to abut against and lock the upper section pipe 7.

[0060] Specifically, the upper section middle shaft rod 6 rotates to drive the upper locking mechanism to lock the position of the upper section pipe 7. When working, the upper section middle shaft rod 6 rotates to drive the upper braking member 16 to rotate. When the upper braking member 16 pushes the first push rod 18 away from the upper braking member 16, the first locking block 19 is extended into the upper pipe hole 15 to lock the upper section pipe 7 in the upper pipe hole 15. The structure is stable, and the first locking block 19 at the other end of the first push rod 18 is extended out of the upper pipe hole 15 to lock the upper section pipe 7 after the position adjustment of the upper locking base 13 and the upper section pipe 7 is completed. When it is needed to unlock the first locking block 19 and the upper section pipe 7, the upper section middle shaft rod 6 is reversely rotated to drive the first push rod 18 to move towards the upper braking member 16, so that the first locking block 19 is separated from the upper section pipe 7 to achieve unlocking.

[0061] In the embodiment, the first push rod 18 is sleeved with a first reset spring, and the two ends of the first reset spring are respectively connected with the first push rod 18 and the upper locking base 13. Specifically, when the first locking block 19 is pushed out to abut against and lock the upper section pipe 7, the first reset spring is stretched to be deformed. When it is needed to unlock the upper section pipe 7, the upper section middle shaft rod 6 is rotated to drive the upper braking member 16 to rotate. Under the action of the first reset spring, the first push rod 18 is driven to move towards the upper braking member 16, so that the first locking block 19 is separated from the upper section pipe 7 to achieve unlocking.

[0062] Preferably, the outer side wall of the first locking block 19 is provided with a first rubber pad, which can be a rubber pad or a silica gel pad, for abutting friction with the upper section of the pipe 7, thereby locking the position of the upper section of the pipe 7.

[0063] Preferably, a first steel ball 20 is movably arranged between the first push rod 18 and the upper brake 16, and the first steel ball 20 is located at one end of the first movable slot 17 close to the upper brake 16. The first steel ball 20 is used to abut the first push rod 18 and the upper brake 16 to reduce friction therebetween and improve structural strength and stability.

[0064] In this embodiment, the upper brake 16 is a cam, which is arranged in an elliptical shape, and the left and right ends and the front and rear ends of the cam are provided with flat sections 21. Specifically, the first movable slot 17 is arranged horizontally. When the short edge end of the cam abuts one end of the first push rod 18 during rotation of the upper brake 16, the first push rod 18 is driven to move towards the middle of the upper brake 16 under the action of the first return spring, so that the first locking block 19 is retracted into the first movable slot 17, unlocking the upper section of the pipe 7, and facilitating movement of the upper section of the pipe 7 relative to the upper locking base 13. When the long edge end of the cam abuts one end of the first push rod 18, the first push rod 18 is driven to move away from the upper brake 16, so that the first locking block 19 extends from the first movable slot 17 to the upper pipe hole 15 and then abuts and locks the upper section of the pipe through the first locking block 19.

[0065] Further, under the action of the flat section 21, when the flat section 21 of the short edge end of the cam is rotated in place and abuts one end of the first push rod 18, the first locking block 19 remains in the first movable slot 17, avoiding affecting movement of the upper section of the pipe 7 in the upper pipe hole 15. In addition, when the flat section 21 of the long edge end of the cam is rotated in place and one end of the first push rod 18 abuts, one end of the first push rod 18 can remain in a flat abutting state, ensuring good cooperation stability between the cam and the first push rod 18, so that the first push rod 18 can drive the first locking block 19 to abut and lock the upper section of the pipe 7.

[0066] In this embodiment, the other end of the first push rod 18 is provided with a first screw rod portion 22, the first locking block 19 is provided with a first screw hole 23 corresponding to the first screw rod portion 22, the outer peripheral wall of the first screw rod portion 22 is provided with a first external thread, and the first screw hole 23 is provided with a first internal thread for thread connection with the first external thread. Under this arrangement, the first push rod 18 and the first locking block 19 can be screwed to adjust the distance between the other end of the first push rod 18 and the first locking block 19, thereby achieving compensation stroke control of the first locking block 19, which is flexible and convenient to use.

[0067] The outer side wall of the first locking block 19 is provided with a first adjusting hole 24, both sides of the outer wall of the upper locking base 13 are provided with first through holes 25, the first locking block 19 is exposed to the first through holes 25, the upper section pipe 7 is provided with at least one second through hole 26, and the first through holes 25 and the second through holes 26 are correspondingly arranged; the first push rod 18 is movably limited in the first movable slot 17, preferably, the first push rod 18 is a polygonal column, and the inner wall shape of the first movable slot 17 is matched with the first push rod 18, so that the first push rod 18 can only move horizontally in the first movable slot 17. Specifically, a user can use a screwdriver from outside to act on the first adjusting hole 24 of the first locking block 19 after extending into the first through hole 25 and the second through hole 26, and rotate the first locking block 19 relative to the first push rod 18 to adjust the distance between the first locking block 19 and the first push rod 18.

[0068] In the embodiment, the lower locking mechanism includes a lower locking base 27, the lower ends of the two middle section pipes 9 are fixedly connected with the lower locking base 27, the middle part of the lower locking base 27 is provided with a second middle shaft hole 28, both sides of the lower locking base 27 are provided with lower pipe holes 29, and the two lower section pipes 11 are respectively slidably arranged in the lower pipe holes 29.

[0069] The second middle shaft hole 28 is rotatably provided with a lower brake 30, both sides of the second middle shaft hole 28 are provided with second movable slots 31, the second middle shaft hole 28 and the lower pipe hole 29 are respectively communicated with the second movable slots 31, the second movable slots 31 are movably provided with second push rods 32, the second push rods 32 can move horizontally in the second movable slots 31, one end of the second push rod 32 abuts against the outer wall of the lower brake 30, the other end of the second push rod 32 is provided with a second locking block 33, and the middle section middle shaft rod 8 is slidably arranged in the lower brake 30; the lower brake 30 is provided with a second connecting hole, the middle section middle shaft rod 8 is slidably arranged in the second connecting hole; the middle section middle shaft rod 8 is a special-shaped pipe, the second connecting hole is matched with the middle section middle shaft rod 8, so that the middle section middle shaft rod 8 can only move axially relative to the second connecting hole, and the middle section middle shaft rod 8 and the lower brake 30 cannot relatively rotate;

[0070] When the middle end middle shaft rod rotates, the lower brake 30 is driven to rotate, so that the second locking block 33 extends into the lower pipe hole 29 to abut and lock the lower section pipe 11.

[0071] Specifically, the middle section middle shaft rod 8 drives the lower locking mechanism to lock the position of the lower section pipe 11. During operation, the middle section middle shaft rod 8 rotates, driving the lower brake 30 to rotate. When the lower brake 30 pushes the second push rod 32 away from the lower brake 30, the second locking block 33 is pushed into the lower pipe hole 29, thereby locking the lower section pipe 11 in the lower pipe hole 29. The structure is stable, and the position adjustment of the lower locking base 27 and the lower section pipe 11 is completed. Then the second locking block 33 at the other end of the second push rod 32 is extended out of the lower pipe hole 29 to lock the lower section pipe 11. When it is necessary to unlock the second locking block 33 and the lower section pipe 11, the middle section middle shaft rod 8 is reversely rotated to drive the second push rod 32 to move towards the lower brake 30, so that the second locking block 33 is separated from the lower section pipe 11 to achieve unlocking.

[0072] In this embodiment, the second push rod 32 is provided with a second reset spring, and the two ends of the second reset spring are connected with the second push rod 32 and the lower locking base 27 respectively.
