Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oblique photography technology, specifically to an angle adjustment mechanism for an oblique photography camera. Background Technology

[0002] A camcorder is a device that uses optical principles to record images. It was initially invented for film and television production, but it has now become widespread. Like cameras, early camcorders required film (videotapes) for recording, but the invention of digital cameras allows images to be stored directly in flash memory. Newer camcorders store image data directly on the camera's hard drive, enabling both video recording and still photography. This eliminates the need to carry a digital camera. Portable camcorders are lightweight, easy to operate, and are practically essential household appliances.

[0003] Currently, when shooting, cameras need to be adjusted in various ways to find the required lens and angle for shooting. However, in the existing technology, the camera needs to be connected to the adjustment bracket for angle adjustment, which makes disassembly inconvenient and reduces the ease of use of the camera.

[0027] In this embodiment, a telescopic spring 12 is fixedly connected inside the fixed cylinder 11. An elastic locking rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two telescopic springs 12. A locking seat 15 is locked onto the elastic locking rod 13. The locking seats 15 are located on the left and right sides of the camera body 14. A locking groove is opened on the side of each locking seat 15 that is separated from the camera body. The elastic locking rod 13 is locked onto the locking seat 15 through the locking groove, which facilitates the positioning of the camera body 14 by locking the elastic locking rod 13 onto the locking seat 15 during use. The camera body 14 is fixedly connected to the locking seat 15. A connecting rod 16 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the locking seat 15. A threaded hole is opened at the bottom of the locking seat 15. The connecting rod 16 is threadedly connected to the locking seat 15 through the threaded hole, which facilitates the installation and removal of the connecting rod 16 during use. A plastic retaining ring 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 16. An anti-slip strip is provided on the inner side of the plastic retaining ring 17, and the anti-slip strip is used to increase the anti-slip effect of the plastic retaining ring 17.

[0028] In this embodiment, the adjusting positioning mechanism includes a rotating rod 23 rotatably connected to the positioning seat 10. A through slot is provided on the opposite side of each of the two positioning seats 10. The rotating rod 23 extends to the outside of the positioning seat 10 through the through slot, facilitating contact between the rotating rod 23 and the driven gear 19 during use. Two first bearings are fixedly connected inside the positioning seat 10, and these bearings are rotatably connected to the rotating rod 23 and the lead screw 20, respectively, ensuring greater stability during rotation. A drive gear 18 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating rod 23. A movable chamber is provided inside the positioning seat 10, where the drive gear 18 and the driven gear 19 mesh, allowing the driven gear 19 to rotate when the drive gear 18 rotates during use.

[0029] In this embodiment, the top of the driving gear 18 meshes with the driven gear 19, and the top of the driven gear 19 is fixedly connected to a lead screw 20. The lead screw 20 is rotatably connected to the positioning seat 10 via a bearing. The outer side of the lead screw 20 is threadedly connected to a movable cylinder 21, and the outer side of the movable cylinder 21 is threadedly connected to a limiting slide 22. The tops of the two movable cylinders 21 are fixedly connected to a positioning top plate 24. The positioning seat 10 has limiting grooves located on both sides of the movable compartment inside. The limiting slide 22 is slidably connected to the positioning seat 10 through the limiting grooves, facilitating the use of the limiting slide. The slot and positioning seat 10 and the moving cylinder 21 are limited, so that the moving cylinder 21 can move up and down, thereby adjusting the camera body 14 using the positioning top plate 24. A soft pad 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning top plate 24, and a threaded seat 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment plate 4. A threaded rod 27 is threadedly connected to the top of the threaded seat 26, and a folding adjustment seat 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 27. A supplementary light 29 is fixedly connected to one side of the folding adjustment seat 28. The folding adjustment seat 28 is an angle adjustment support commonly used in table lamps in the prior art.

[0030] When using this embodiment:

[0031] In use, the drive rotating rod 23 rotates, causing the active gear 18 to drive the driven gear 19 to rotate, thereby causing the moving cylinder 21 to release the soft pad 25 on the positioning top plate 24 to look at the top of the camera body 14. Then, the telescopic spring 12 on the elastic locking rod 13 is squeezed to disassemble it. Then, the connecting rod 16 and the plastic retaining ring 17 are pulled directly to separate from the rotating shaft 9, and the camera body 14 can be taken out directly. After removal, the connecting rod 16 can be rotated to disassemble the connecting rod 16, so that the camera body 14 can be carried easily.

[0032] When angle adjustment is needed, the cylinder 5 is activated to push the adjustment plate 4 on the connecting spring 6 to adjust the left side higher than the right side or the right side higher than the left side using the hinge shaft 3 on the other side. Then, the motor 8 can be activated to drive the rotating shaft 9, so that the plastic retaining ring 17 uses the connecting rod 16 to flip and adjust the angle of the camera body 14, so as to achieve the purpose of shooting at more tricky angles.

[0033] Secondly, an adjustable fill light 29 is provided, and when not in use, the fill light 29 on the folding adjustment seat 28 can be removed using the threaded seat 26.

[0034] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows:

[0035] 1. The camera angle adjustment mechanism for tilt photography allows for convenient angle adjustment in various aspects during use, making it easier to find the right angle when shooting with the clamped camera body 14, and enabling users to capture more angles that cannot be captured handheld.

[0036] 2. The camera angle adjustment mechanism for this tilt photography system, through its adjustable positioning mechanism, allows for easy and quick disassembly of the clamped camera during use. This not only facilitates viewing the photos but also makes the camera easy to carry. It solves the problem of inconvenient disassembly caused by connecting the camera to the adjustment frame when adjusting the angle.
