By the same token, the features defined by "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited.

[0033] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "arrangement", and "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixed connection, can also be detachable connection, or integrally connected; can be mechanical connection, can also be electrical connection; can be directly connected, can also be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be the communication between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] The present application provides a portable support stand 10 for supporting a shooting device or other electronic device, which can not only support the shooting device on a horizontal or substantially horizontal support, but also has a light and compact body, which is convenient for users to hold to adapt to more complex shooting environments, so that users can obtain a better shooting experience during playing and shooting.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The support stand 10 comprises a base 100 and a stand body 200, the base 100 is used for directly or indirectly mounting a shooting, photography device, the stand body 200 is connected to one side of the base 100, and the stand body 200 is used for supporting the shooting device on a support, such as the ground, a table top or the like, which is horizontal or substantially horizontal. The base 100 in the embodiment is provided with a threaded column 161, which is arranged on the side of the base 100 away from the stand body 200 and is used for directly or indirectly mounting the shooting, photography device. It should be understood that, in other embodiments, the threaded column 161 can be directly screwed to the shooting, photography device with a threaded port; the threaded column 161 can also be screwed to a gimbal device first and then indirectly mount the shooting device through the gimbal device, the gimbal device can be a cold shoe, a buckle, a locking shaft or the like, and the method of indirectly mounting the shooting device through the gimbal device can expand the types of external interfaces of the base 100 to adapt to the mounting and connection of more types of shooting devices. Of course, the shooting device can also be directly fixed to the base 100 in a way other than screwing the threaded column 161, such as dovetail fitting or direct buckling.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The stand body 200 comprises a plurality of legs 200a, and the stand body 200 can be switched between an unfolded state and a folded state. The stand body 200 in the embodiment is a tripod, and the number of the legs 200a is three. One end of each of the three legs 200a is connected to the base 100, and the other end of each of the three legs 200a can be away from or close to each other, so that the stand body 200 is switched between the unfolded state and the folded state. Figure 1 The unfolded state of the stand body 200 is shown, in which the three legs 200a are away from each other and in a three-legged support state (an angle is formed between adjacent legs 200a) to unfold and stably support the base 100 on a support, such as the ground, which is horizontal or substantially horizontal, so as to stably support the shooting device mounted on the base 100 on the support and ensure the stability of the shooting device during shooting. Figure 2 The folded state of the stand body 200 is shown, in which the three legs 200a are close to each other, so that the stand body 200 can be held by a user to use the support stand 10 as a selfie stick or to carry it conveniently. It should be explained that, in other embodiments, the number of the legs 200a is not limited. Since the tripod has good support stability, the number of the legs 200a is at least three, and can also be more than three.

[0037] The stand body 200 of the support stand 10 provided by the present application can be switched from the folded state (as shown in FIG. 1) to the unfolded state (as shown in FIG. 2) by one key triggering. Figure 2 Figure 1 ​The length extension direction of the plurality of supporting legs 200a is arranged at the same angle with the thickness direction of the base 100, which makes the one end of the plurality of supporting legs 200a rotating around the base 100 in the circumferential direction to drive the other end of the corresponding supporting leg 200a to rotate in the circumferential direction of the base 100 synchronously to move away from or close to each other, so as to realize the switching of the supporting leg body 200 between the unfolded and stored states. The circumferential rotation movement process of the plurality of supporting legs 200a is small in damping, so that the switching between the unfolded and stored states is smooth and fluent; and the relative position between each supporting leg 200a and the base 100 after unfolding is unchanged, and the angle between the adjacent supporting legs 200a is easy to control, which makes the supporting leg body 200 more stably supported on the support surface.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The supporting leg body 200 (the supporting leg 200a) comprises a main supporting leg 210 and a slave supporting leg, the slave supporting leg comprises a first supporting leg 220 and a second supporting leg 230, one end of the main supporting leg 210 is fixedly connected with the base 100, and the first supporting leg 220 and the second supporting leg 230 are rotationally connected with the base 100. The first supporting leg 220 and the second supporting leg 230 can rotate around the base 100 in the circumferential direction to close or move away from the main supporting leg 210 to switch the supporting leg body 200 between the unfolded and stored states. In the process of switching the supporting leg body 200 from the stored state to the unfolded state, the supporting leg 200 can be triggered by one key to make the first supporting leg 220 and the second supporting leg 230 rotate around the base 100 in the circumferential direction to different angles to move away from the main supporting leg 210, so as to switch the supporting leg body 200 to the unfolded state. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the first supporting leg 220 and the second supporting leg 230 can rotate around the base 100 in the circumferential direction synchronously to different angles to move away from the main supporting leg 210, as long as the supporting leg body 200 can be supported on the support surface in the unfolded state. Among them, for the embodiment of synchronous rotation of the first supporting leg 220 and the second supporting leg 230, a first torsional spring can be arranged between the first supporting leg 220 and the base 100, and a second torsional spring can be arranged between the second supporting leg 230 and the base 100, and the elastic force of the first torsional spring and the second torsional spring in the stored state is reasonably designed to ensure that after the supporting leg 200 is triggered by one key, the angle of the first supporting leg 220 rotating relative to the base 100 driven by the first torsional spring is greater than the angle of the second supporting leg 230 rotating relative to the base 100 driven by the second torsional spring.

[0039] Reference Figure 1In the embodiment, the support stand 10 further comprises a first rotating seat 300 and a second rotating seat 400, the base 100 comprises a first seat 110 and a second seat 120, the first seat 110, the first rotating seat 300, the second rotating seat 400 and the second seat 120 are sequentially stacked from top to bottom along the thickness direction of the base 100, and the first rotating seat 300 and the second rotating seat 400 can rotate around the base 100. The first rotating seat 300 is fixedly connected to one end of the first leg 220 close to the base 100 (the thickness direction of the first rotating seat 300 forms an angle with the length extension direction of the first leg 220), which makes the first leg 220 rotatably connected to the base 100; the second rotating seat 400 is fixedly connected to one end of the second leg 230 close to the base 100 (the thickness direction of the second rotating seat 400 forms an angle with the length extension direction of the second leg 230), which makes the second leg 230 rotatably connected to the base 100; the first seat 110 and the second seat 120 are fixedly connected to the main support leg 210 (the thickness direction of the first seat 110 or the second seat 120 forms an angle with the length extension direction of the main support leg 210), which makes the main support leg 210 fixedly connected to the base 100. Preferably, Figure 1 It is shown that the first seat 110, the first rotating seat 300, the second rotating seat 400 and the second seat 120 of the embodiment are all circular, which makes the circumferential rotation process of the stand body around the base 100 stable and smooth while keeping the rotation center unchanged and the structure at the base 100 beautiful. It should be understood that in other embodiments, firstly, the shapes of the several seats at the base 100 are not limited. Secondly, one or more of the first seat 110, the first rotating seat 300, the second rotating seat 400 and the second seat 120 can not be provided, as long as the multiple legs 200a can rotate circumferentially around the base 100 to realize the switching of the stand body 200 between the unfolded state and the storage state. For example, in other embodiments, the base 100 can be a three-dimensional space, and the first rotating seat 300 and the second rotating seat 400 can be fixedly connected to the main support leg.

[0040] In combination with reference Figure 3 And Figure 4 The support stand 10 further comprises a resilient member 500 arranged between the first rotating seat 300 and the first seat 110. In the embodiment, the resilient member 500 is a torsion spring 500a, both ends of the torsion spring 500a are fixedly connected to the first seat 110 and the first rotating seat 300, which makes the resilient member 500 fixedly connected to the main support leg 210 and the first leg 220. Among them, Figure 4The first rotating seat 300 is provided with an annular groove 310 and a plurality of limiting clamping grooves 320 communicated with the annular groove 310 on the side facing the first seat 110, and the torsion spring 500a is accommodated in the annular groove 310; the plurality of limiting clamping grooves 320 are annularly distributed on the edge side of the annular groove 310 and are used to limit and fix one end of the torsion spring 500a connected to the first rotating seat 300, that is, the torsion spring 500a can be installed through one of the plurality of limiting clamping grooves 320 in different positions, thereby providing a plurality of installation positions for the user to install the torsion spring 500a between the first seat 100 and the first rotating seat 300, so as to adjust the size of the elastic force accumulated by the torsion spring 500a at the beginning, that is, the user can control the size of the elastic force accumulated by the torsion spring 500a when the support frame main body 200 is in the storage state according to different needs, and the different size of the elastic force can control the unfolding speed of the support frame main body 200 to be different, which makes the support frame 10 can adapt to more different shooting environments. It should be understood that in other embodiments, first, the elastic member 500 is used to provide driving force for one-key unfolding of the support frame 200, and in other embodiments, the elastic member 500 can be a magnetic member, and the repulsive force of two magnetic members of the same kind can also drive the support frame to automatically switch from the storage state to the unfolded state after one-key triggering, and here the elastic member 500 and the magnetic member are uniformly defined as the force storage member to provide driving force for the unfolding of the support frame main body 200. In addition, in other embodiments, the setting position of the elastic member 500 is not limited, and the support frame 10 is not provided with the first seat 110 and the first rotating seat 300, and the elastic member 500 can be directly fixedly connected to the main supporting leg 210 and the first supporting leg 220; secondly, the elastic member 500 can not be a torsion spring 500a, but also can be a spring, a rubber block or the like capable of accumulating and releasing elastic force, as long as the elastic member 500 is fixedly and limitingly connected between the first seat 110 and the first rotating seat 300 and can accumulate and release elastic force; thirdly, the annular groove 310 and the limiting clamping groove 320 can also be provided on the side of the first seat 110 facing the first rotating seat 300 or not be provided, as long as the torsion spring 500a can be fixedly arranged between the first seat 110 and the first rotating seat 300.

[0041] Reference Figure 3When the foot stand body 200 is in the storage state, the first supporting leg 220 is connected to the main supporting leg 210, and the relative rotation of the first supporting leg 220 and the main supporting leg 210 in the circumferential direction is limited, at this time, the first rotating seat 300 has the movement trend of rotating away from the main supporting leg 210 around the base 100 in the circumferential direction is limited, and the elastic member 500 accumulates elastic force; after the foot stand body 200 is triggered by one key, the restriction of the relative rotation of the first supporting leg 220 and the main supporting leg 210 in the circumferential direction is removed, the first supporting leg 220 is separated from the main supporting leg 210, and the first supporting leg 220 and the second supporting leg 230 rotate relative to the main supporting leg 210 in the circumferential direction to move away from the main supporting leg 210 in the order. Specifically, after the foot stand body 200 is triggered by one key, the elastic member 500 releases the elastic force, and the first rotating seat 300 can rotate itself around the base 100 relative to the first seat 110 in the circumferential direction to a certain angle under the action of the elastic member 500, then the first rotating seat 300 will drive the second rotating seat 400 to rotate synchronously around the base 100 relative to the first seat 110 in the circumferential direction to a preset angle (the preset angle is determined according to the limiting structure of the rotating seat) and stop rotating, so that the first supporting leg 220 rotates itself around the base 100 in the circumferential direction to a certain angle and then drives the second supporting leg 230 to continue to rotate synchronously to the preset angle and stop, so as to realize the whole process of switching the foot stand body 200 from the storage state to the unfolded state (as shown in Figure 1 ).

[0042] In combination with reference Figure 4 and Figure 5, the first rotating seat 300 is provided with a first protrusion 330 on the side away from the first seat 110, the second rotating seat 400 is provided with a first arc-shaped slot 410 on the side facing the first rotating seat 300, and the first protrusion 330 is movable in the first arc-shaped slot 410 and the two form a first limiting structure; the second rotating seat 400 is provided with a second arc-shaped slot 420 on the side away from the first rotating seat 300, the second seat 120 is provided with a second protrusion 121 on the side facing the second rotating seat 400, and the second protrusion 121 is movable in the second arc-shaped slot 420 and the two form a second limiting structure. In the process of switching the support leg 200 from the storage state to the unfolded state, after the support leg 200 is unlocked by one key triggering, the first rotating seat 300 rotates around the base 100 in the circumferential direction under the action of the elastic member 500, the second rotating seat 400 is first stationary, the first protrusion 330 can slide in the first arc-shaped slot 410 from one end of the first arc-shaped slot 410 to the other end of the first arc-shaped slot 410 in the circumferential direction after the rotation of the first rotating seat 300, thereby driving the second rotating seat 400 to rotate synchronously, the second seat 120 is stationary, and the second protrusion 121 can slide in the second arc-shaped slot 420 from one end of the second arc-shaped slot 420 to the other end of the second arc-shaped slot 420 in the circumferential direction after the rotation of the second rotating seat 400. The circumferential angle of the first arc-shaped slot 410 limits the included angle between the first supporting leg 220 and the second supporting leg 230 when the support leg 200 is in the unfolded state, and the circumferential angle of the second arc-shaped slot 420 limits the included angle between the second supporting leg 230 and the main supporting leg 210. In this embodiment, the circumferential sizes of the first arc-shaped slot 410 and the second arc-shaped slot 420 are equal, both being 120 degrees, which makes the included angles between the adjacent two supporting legs 200a of the entire support leg 10 in the unfolded state consistent, both being 120 degrees, so that the support leg body 200 can be stably supported on the support surface. It should be understood that in other embodiments, first, the second limiting structure can not be provided, as long as the support leg body 200 can be unfolded by one key triggering; second, the circumferential sizes of the first arc-shaped slot 410 and the second arc-shaped slot 420 are not limited; the positions of the first arc-shaped slot 410 and the first protrusion 330 can be exchanged, and the positions of the second arc-shaped slot 420 and the second protrusion 121 can be exchanged, as long as the first arc-shaped slot 410 and the first protrusion 330 can slide relative to each other and the second arc-shaped slot 420 and the second protrusion 121 can slide relative to each other in the process of rotating the first rotating seat 300 and the second rotating seat 400.In other embodiments, the first limiting structure can be arranged between the inner circumferential side of the base 100 and the circumferential side of the first rotating seat 300, and the second limiting structure can be arranged between the inner circumferential side of the base 100 and the circumferential side of the second rotating seat 400, as long as the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure can limit the opening angle between the main support leg 210 and the first support leg 220 and between the main support leg 210 and the second support leg 230 after the folding support frame 200 is unfolded.

[0043] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The main support leg 210 is provided with a receiving cavity 211 and an avoiding gap 212 communicating with the receiving cavity 211. When the folding support frame 200 is in the unfolded state, the first support leg 220 can rotate around the base 100 in the circumferential direction and drive the second support leg 230 to approach the main support leg 210. Finally, the first support leg 220 and the second support leg 230 are received in the receiving cavity 211, and the ends of the first support leg 220 and the second support leg 230 away from the base 100 are hooked on the edge of the receiving cavity 211.
