Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photographic equipment technology, and in particular to a connector and assembly / disassembly assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of photographic equipment, to achieve connection between two devices, one device is usually connected to the other using a connecting component. For example, a functional device is mounted on a camera stand, and the functional device is mounted on the camera stand via a connecting component. However, existing connecting components have complex structures, are inconvenient to install, and affect the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a connector that addresses the technical problem of complex installation and operation between components in current photographic equipment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a connector comprising:

[0005] A connecting seat is provided with a fitting slot and can be fitted onto a structural component through the fitting slot. The fitting slot includes at least one first slot sidewall, which is rotatably connected to the connecting seat. The connecting seat is provided with an actuating structure, a resetting component, a retaining component, and a triggering component. The actuating structure is movably disposed on the connecting seat. The retaining component retains itself on the connecting seat to keep the actuating structure driving the first slot sidewall in an open state. The triggering component releases the retaining component from the connecting seat. The resetting component applies a resetting force to the actuating structure.

[0006] The connector has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the retaining member is held on the connector, the sidewall of the first groove opens, and the reset member generates a force to reset the actuating structure. In the locked state, the retaining member avoids the connector, the actuating structure resets, the sidewall of the first groove closes, and the triggering member is triggered by the structural member to switch the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0007] In some embodiments, the connector has a mounting cavity, and the actuating structure includes:

[0008] A locking button is slidably inserted into the mounting cavity and at least partially exposed outside the connector.

[0009] A driving component is movably disposed within the mounting cavity, with one end of the driving component rotatably connected to the locking button and the other end rotatably connected to the side wall of the first groove.

[0010] When the locking button is pressed and slides into the mounting cavity, it drives the driving component to open the side wall of the first groove, and at the same time, the retaining component moves to retain the side wall of the mounting cavity, and the locked state is switched to the unlocked state; when the locking button slides out of the mounting cavity, it drives the driving component to close the side wall of the first groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, one end of the first reset member is connected to the locking button, and the other end is connected to the cavity sidewall of the mounting cavity, for applying a reset force to the locking button as it slides out of the mounting cavity.

[0012] In some embodiments, the retaining member is mounted on the locking button, and the side wall of the locking button is provided with a receiving groove with an upper opening. The retaining member is received in the receiving groove, one end of the retaining member is rotatably connected to the side wall of the receiving groove, and the other end can extend out of the upper opening of the receiving groove and connect with the trigger to retain in the cavity side wall of the mounting cavity. When the structural member presses the trigger, the trigger drives the other end of the retaining member to be retracted into the receiving groove to avoid the connecting seat.

[0013] In some embodiments, the trigger penetrates the bottom wall of the mounting slot, the upper end of the trigger protrudes from the bottom wall of the mounting slot, and the lower end of the trigger is located in the mounting cavity and magnetically connected to the other end of the retaining member.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cavity sidewall of the mounting cavity has an outlet, one end of the locking button slides from the outlet, the retaining member extends along the sliding direction of the locking button, and the retaining member is confined within the outlet when the locking state is engaged.

[0015] In some embodiments, the connector further includes at least one second reset member accommodated within the mounting cavity, the second reset member being located between the lower end of the trigger member and the bottom wall of the mounting cavity.

[0016] In some embodiments, the actuation structure includes two drive members located on either side of the locking button, and the mounting slot includes two first slot sidewalls.

[0017] In some embodiments, there are two retaining members, located on both sides of the locking button. The trigger member is square in shape, with the upper ends of the two parallel side frames protruding from the bottom wall of the mounting groove. The other two parallel side frames are accommodated in the mounting cavity. When the trigger member is pressed, it drives the two retaining members to release the cavity sidewall of the mounting cavity.

[0018] The present invention also provides a disassembly assembly, which includes a structural component and a connector as described above. The upper end of the sidewall of the first groove is provided with a limiting portion extending into the groove. After the structural component is installed in the mounting groove, the limiting portion prevents the structural component from detaching from the top of the mounting groove.

[0019] The connector provided by this invention can be connected to a structural component. In practical applications, two components in photographic equipment (hereinafter referred to as the first component and the second component) can be connected to the structural component via the connector. The first component is connected to the connector, and the structural component involved can be the second component to be connected, or it can be connected to the second component as an intermediate component. After assembly, the connector is in the unlocked state. During the process of fitting the connector into the structural component, the structural component can be inserted from the opening above the fitting slot, so that it touches and presses the trigger to drive the retaining component to release or release the connector, thereby releasing the retaining component from the connector. This causes the first reset component to drive the moving structure to reset. During the process of the moving structure driving the side wall of the first slot to open, the retaining component is once again engaged with the connector. The first reset component generates a force to reset the moving structure, and the locked state switches to the unlocked state. The operation is simple and quick, improving the user experience.

[0040] This invention proposes a connector 1, referring to... Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The connector 1 includes:

[0041] A connecting seat 11 is provided with a fitting groove 12 and can be fitted onto a structural member 6 through the fitting groove 12. The fitting groove 12 includes at least one first groove sidewall 13, which is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 11. The connecting seat 11 is provided with an actuating structure 2, a first reset member 23, a retaining member 4, and a trigger member 5. The actuating structure 2 is movably disposed on the connecting seat 11. The retaining member 4 is retained on the connecting seat 11 to keep the actuating structure 2 driving the first groove sidewall 13 in an open state. The trigger member 5 drives the retaining member 4 to release the retaining member 4 from the connecting seat 11. The first reset member 23 applies a force to the actuating structure 2 to reset it.

[0042] The connector 1 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the retaining member 4 is held on the connector 11, the first groove sidewall 13 opens, and the first reset member 23 generates a force to reset the actuating structure 2. In the locked state, the retaining member 4 avoids the connector 11, the actuating structure 2 is reset, the first groove sidewall 13 closes, and the trigger member 5 is triggered by the structural member 6 to switch the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0043] In this embodiment, connector 1 is applied to photographic equipment to achieve connection between components within the equipment. Connector 1 can be connected to structural component 6. Specifically, in practical applications, two components in the photographic equipment (hereinafter referred to as the first component and the second component) can be connected to structural component 6 via connector 1. The first component is connected to connector 1, and the connection method can include screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, etc., for example... Figure 5 As shown, the connector 1 has a connecting hole on its connecting base 11, through which a fastener is inserted to connect the first device. The structural component 6 involved can be the second device to be connected, i.e., the first device is connected to the connector 1, and the connector 1 is connected to the structural component 6 (the second device), thus achieving a connection between the two devices; the structural component 6 can also serve as an intermediate component connected to the second device, and the connection method can include screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection, etc., i.e., the first device is connected to the connector 1, the second device is connected to the structural component 6, and the connector 1 is connected to the structural component 6, thus achieving a connection between the two devices. The shape of the structural component 6 is not limited and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0044] The fitting slot 12 on the connecting seat 11 can be located on one side. The fitting slot 12 is adapted to the structural component 6. After assembly, the connecting component 1 is in the unlocked state. During the fitting of the connecting seat 11 to the structural component 6, the structural component 6 can be inserted from the opening above the fitting slot 12, so that it touches and presses the trigger 5 to drive the retaining component 4 to release or release the connecting seat 11, thereby releasing the retaining component 4 from the retaining relationship between the connecting seat 11 and the connecting seat 11. Thus, the first reset component 23 drives the actuating structure 2 to reset, and the actuating structure 2 drives the first slot sidewall to close to lock the structural component 6. During the process of the actuating structure 2 driving the first slot sidewall 13 to open, the retaining component 4 is once again retained on the connecting seat 11. The first reset component 23 generates a force to reset the actuating structure 2, and the locked state switches to the unlocked state. The operation is simple and quick, improving the user experience. The actuating structure 2 is used to drive the retaining component 4 to move. The actuating structure 2 can have various structural forms, including a single structure and a combined structure, depending on the actual situation. Optionally, the first reset member 23 is a spring, and one or more springs can be provided, depending on the actual situation. The mounting slot 12 may have one first slot sidewall, and the other slot sidewall is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 11. Of course, the mounting slot 12 may have two first slot sidewalls, so that the moving structure 2 drives the two first slot sidewalls to open or close, so as to unlock or lock the structural member 6. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The connecting seat 11 is provided with a mounting cavity 11A, so that the moving structure 2 includes:

[0045] The connecting seat 11 is provided with a mounting cavity 11A, and the actuating structure 2 includes:

[0046] The locking button 21 is slidably inserted into the mounting cavity 11A and is at least partially exposed outside the connector 11;

[0047] The driving component 22 is movably disposed in the mounting cavity 11A. One end of the driving component 22 is rotatably connected to the locking button 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side wall 13 of the first groove.

[0048] In this embodiment, pressing the locking button 21 and sliding it into the mounting cavity 11A drives the driving member 22 to open the first groove sidewall 13. Simultaneously, the retaining member 4 moves accordingly to retain itself on the sidewall of the mounting cavity 11A, switching from a locked state to an unlocked state. When the structural member 6 is inserted from the opening above the mounting slot 12, it touches and presses the trigger member 5, driving the retaining member 4 to release or release the connecting seat 11, thus releasing the retaining member 4 from the connecting seat 11. This allows the first reset member 23 to drive the actuating structure 2 to reset, and when the locking button 21 slides out of the mounting cavity 11A, it drives the driving member 22 to close the first groove sidewall 13, locking the structural member 6 within the mounting slot 12. The locking button 21, driving member 22, and first groove sidewall 13 form a linked structure, making operation effortless and quick. The driving member 22 can be elongated, such as a rod or a flat shape. The retaining member can be a waist-shaped piece.

[0049] Optionally, the connecting seat 11 includes a seat body and a seat cover. The seat body has a mounting cavity 11A. The seat cover is installed on the seat body and seals the mounting cavity 11A. The seat body also has an opening communicating with the mounting cavity 11A, through which the locking button 21 is exposed. The mounting cavity 11A houses the main structure of the driving component 22, the first reset component 23, and the locking button 21. Only the locking button 21 is exposed outside the connecting seat 11 for user pressing operation, thus achieving a hidden component design and improving the compactness of the structure and the aesthetics of the appearance.

[0050] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 One end of the first reset member 23 is connected to the locking button 21, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the mounting cavity 11A. It is used to apply a reset force to the locking button 21 when it slides out of the mounting cavity 11A. The first reset member 23 can be a tension spring, which can be arranged along the sliding direction of the locking button 21. The first reset member 23 can also be a compression spring, compressed between the end of the locking button 21 and the side wall of the mounting cavity 11A. To save space, the locking button 21 has a slot in the middle, and the tension spring is accommodated in the slot. One end of the tension spring is connected to the free end of the locking button 21, and the other end is connected to the opening near the mounting cavity 11A. Further, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The retaining member 4 is installed on the locking button 21. The side wall of the locking button 21 has a receiving groove 211 with an upper opening. The retaining member 4 is received in the receiving groove 211. One end of the retaining member 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 211, and the other end can extend out of the upper opening of the receiving groove 211 and connect with the trigger member 5 to retain it in the cavity side wall of the mounting cavity 11A, thereby preventing the locking button 21 from sliding out of the mounting cavity 11A to maintain the unlocked state. When the structural member 6 presses the trigger member 5, the trigger member 5 drives the other end of the retaining member 4 to be retracted into the receiving groove 211 to avoid the connecting seat 11, so that the first reset member 23 can push the locking button 21 to reset. It can be understood that the lower end of the trigger member 5 can also form the cavity upper wall of the mounting cavity 11A, and the other end of the retaining member 4 can extend out of the upper opening of the receiving groove 211 and connect with other cavity upper walls of the mounting cavity 11A.

[0051] To achieve automatic connection between trigger 5 and holding element 4, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the trigger 5 penetrates the bottom wall of the mounting groove, the upper end of the trigger 5 protrudes from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 12, the lower end of the trigger 5 is located in the mounting cavity 11A and is magnetically connected to the other end of the retaining member 4, or the free end of the retaining member 4 extends out of the receiving groove 211 and is magnetically connected to the upper wall of the mounting cavity 11A. The free end of the retaining member 4 is provided with a magnetic element, or the lower end of the trigger 5 is provided with a magnetic element, or the upper wall of the mounting cavity 11A is provided with a magnetic element, without being limited to one one.

[0052] The cavity sidewall of the mounting cavity 11A has an outlet. One end of the locking button 21 slides from the outlet. The retaining member 4 extends along the sliding direction of the locking button 21, and in the locked state, the retaining member 4 is limited to the outlet.

[0053] When the locking button 21 slides inside the mounting cavity 11A, it causes the retaining member 4 to move accordingly. When the retaining member 4 is disengaged from the outlet, the free end of the retaining member 4 is magnetically attracted to the lower end of the trigger member 5, thereby forming a retaining relationship between the retaining member 4 and the cavity side wall of the mounting cavity 11A, thus achieving the unlocked state.

[0054] To ensure that the trigger element 5 automatically resets after separation of the structural component 6 and the trigger element 5, the connecting component 1 further includes at least one second reset element 3 housed within the mounting cavity 11A. The second reset element 3 is located between the lower end of the trigger element 5 and the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11A. After separation of the structural component 6 and the trigger element 5, the second reset element 3 pushes the trigger element 5 to reset, causing the upper end of the trigger element 5 to protrude from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 12. The number of second reset elements 3 can be one, two, three, four, or more, and is not specifically set.

[0055] To improve stability, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the actuating structure 2 includes two driving members 22 located on both sides of the locking button 21. The mounting groove 12 includes two first groove sidewalls 13. There are two retaining members 4 located on both sides of the locking button 21. The trigger member 5 is square-shaped, with the upper ends of the two parallel sidewalls protruding from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 12. The other two parallel sidewalls are accommodated in the mounting cavity 11A. When the trigger member 5 is pressed, it drives the two retaining members 4 to release the cavity sidewalls of the mounting cavity 11A. The base also has two frame grooves 111. The upper ends of the two parallel sidewalls of the trigger member 5 pass through the two frame grooves 111, so that the trigger member 5 is tightly connected to the base. The outer groove sidewall of the frame groove 111 is recessed with a break, which is used to accommodate the lower end of the first groove sidewall 13, making the overall structure compact. Of course, the actuating structure may include a locking button, which drives a driving member to drive the opening and closing of a first groove sidewall 13. The locking button may have one or two retaining members, and the driving member drives a first groove sidewall 13. The actuating structure may also include a locking button, which drives three driving members. The three driving members drive three first groove sidewalls 13 respectively. The three driving members are located on three different sides of the locking button. Therefore, the number is set according to the usage requirements.

[0056] In summary, the actuating structure may include a locking button. In the embodiment where the locking button drives two driving members to drive the opening and closing of the two first groove sidewalls 13, after assembly, the connecting member 1 is in the unlocked state, the free ends of the two holding members 4 abut against the bottom surface of the trigger member 5 and are held in the cavity sidewall near the outlet of the mounting cavity 11A, the two first groove sidewalls 13 open, and the locking button 21 stretches the first reset member 23 to generate a force that resets the actuating structure 2.

[0057] During the process of fitting the connector 11 into the structural component 6, the structural component 6 can be vertically inserted from the opening above the fitting slot 12. When the structural component 6 touches and presses the trigger 5, the trigger 5 pushes the two retaining members 4 downward near the edge of the mounting cavity 11A outlet until the two retaining members 4 are respectively accommodated in the two receiving slots 211, so that the retaining members 4 release or release the upper wall or side wall of the mounting cavity 11A, thereby releasing the retaining members 4 from the retaining relationship with the connector 11. Afterwards, the first reset member 23 drives the locking button 21 to move towards the mounting cavity 11. During the process of sliding out of cavity 11A to the reset of locking button 21, locking button 21 pulls two driving members 22 to drive the two first groove sidewalls 13 to rotate inward to close the locking structure 6. At the same time, the two retaining members 4 slide together with locking button 21 into the outlet of mounting cavity 11A. At least the free end of retaining member 4 is limited to the outlet of mounting cavity 11A. For example, retaining member 4 penetrates the outlet of mounting cavity 11A, etc., so that connecting member 1 changes from the unlocked state to the locked state, and structure 6 is installed on connecting seat 11.

[0058] During the process of disassembling structural component 6 from connecting seat 11, when the locking button 21 is pressed and slid into the mounting cavity 11A, the locking button 21 pulls the two driving components 22 to drive the two first groove sidewalls 13 to rotate outward to open, and structural component 6 is taken out from the mounting groove 12. During this process, the two retaining components 4 slide together with the locking button 21 until the two retaining components 4 are separated from the outlet of the mounting cavity 11A. Under the action of magnetic attraction, the retaining components 4 rotate and extend so that the free end of the retaining component 4 is magnetically attracted to the lower end of the trigger component 5 or other inner walls of the mounting cavity 11A. At the same time, the free ends of the two retaining components 4 abut against the cavity sidewall of the accessory at the outlet of the mounting cavity 11A, thereby releasing the locking button 21 and preventing the locking button 21 from sliding outward. The first reset component 23 generates a force to reset the locking button 21, and the locked state is switched to the unlocked state. The operation is simple and quick, improving the user experience.

[0059] The present invention also proposes a disassembly and assembly component, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the disassembly and assembly assembly includes a structural component 6 and a connector 1 as described in the foregoing embodiments. The upper end of the first groove sidewall 13 is provided with a limiting portion 131 extending into the groove. The limiting portion 131 prevents the structural component 6 from detaching from the top of the mounting groove 12 after it is installed in the mounting groove 12. The specific structure of the connector 1 is as described in the foregoing embodiments. Since this disassembly and assembly assembly adopts all the technical solutions of all the foregoing embodiments, it possesses at least all the technical effects brought about by the technical solutions of the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The structural component 6 involved can be an intermediate component of the connecting device, for example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, structural component 6 is a connecting plate. The connecting plate connects devices and has a strip hole for fasteners to pass through. The strip hole extends along the length of the connecting plate. Devices can be connected to the connecting plate through fasteners, and the connection position can be adjusted along the strip hole.

[0060] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to enable the structural component 6 to be quickly aligned and installed with the bottom wall of the mounting groove 12, and to improve the installation stability, two pairs of magnetic attraction structures (61, 62) are provided between the structural component 6 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 12. The magnetic attraction structures (61, 62) include a first magnetic attraction component and a second magnetic attraction component that is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic attraction component. The first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component can be opposite magnetic poles, or one of them can be a magnet and the other can be metal iron.

[0061] The above description is only a part or preferred embodiment of the present invention. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of the present invention specification and drawings under the overall concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
