Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of support device technology, and in particular to a multi-purpose portable tripod. Background Technology

[0002] During construction, temporary signs or indicator lights are usually placed to provide guidance. These signs or lights are typically mounted on tripods. The tripods are placed on the construction site, and then the signs or lights are placed on the tripods. In the current technology, the signs or lights are usually placed on top of the tripods. However, when the signs or lights on the tripods need to work continuously, both the signs or lights and the corresponding power supply equipment need to be placed on the tripods. In the current technology, it is difficult to place the power supply equipment on the tripods, and the increased weight can easily cause them to tip over. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems of existing tripods where power supply equipment is difficult to place on the tripod and is prone to tipping over due to increased weight, this application provides a multi-purpose portable tripod, the specific solution of which is as follows.

[0004] A multi-purpose portable tripod includes a frame, the top of which is used to connect an indicator light, and the bottom of which is provided with multiple feet for contacting the ground. The feet are hinged to the frame. The bottom of the frame is also provided with a round tube, which is sleeved on the frame and slidably connected to the frame. The frame is also provided with a positioning component for limiting the displacement of the round tube. A connecting rod is provided between the round tube and the feet, with one end of the connecting rod hinged to the round tube and the other end hinged to the feet.

[0005] The circular tube is provided with sandbag hooks for hanging sandbags, and the sandbag hooks are arranged circumferentially around the hinge.

[0006] The upper side wall of the frame is also provided with a box hook for hanging the distribution box, and the box hook is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, the angle of the legs can be adjusted by the connecting rod during the sliding process of the round tubes on the frame, thereby adjusting the overall height of the frame. The legs can also be retracted to improve the convenience of carrying. When the legs are raised for use, the distribution box can be suspended on the electrical box hook at the top to facilitate the connection between the indicator light and the distribution box. Sandbags can be suspended on the sandbag hook at the bottom to increase the weight at the bottom, making the center of gravity of the frame more stable and reducing the possibility of the frame tipping over.

[0008] Optionally, the frame is also provided with an extension rod, one end of which is provided with a connecting pipe facing the frame, the connecting pipe being inserted into the frame, and the top of the extension rod is provided with a mounting plate for installing indicator lights.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, in some cases the height of the indicator light is insufficient to meet the requirements. Therefore, an extension rod is set up to be connected to the frame by plugging in, which improves versatility. The extension rod is detachably connected to the frame, making it more convenient to carry.

[0010] Optionally, the circular tube is provided with a plurality of hinges for connecting the connecting rod. Each hinge includes two hinge plates with corresponding hinge holes. The hinges are spaced apart along the circumference of the circular tube and are spaced apart from the sandbag hooks.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the hinges are simple and easy to implement by using hinge plates to open the hinges. The hinges and sandbag hooks are set at intervals, which makes the arrangement of the sandbag hooks and hinges more uniform, facilitates the connection between the connecting rod and the hinges, and makes the sandbags more evenly distributed after being hung, making the frame more stable.

[0012] Optionally, the extension rod and the tube body are provided with corresponding connection holes, and bolts are provided at the connection holes, with the bolts passing through the connection holes on the extension rod and the tube body.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension rod is detachably connected to the tube body by bolts. The screw connection method is relatively stable, making the extension rod more stable after the indicator light is installed, thereby improving the stability of the extension rod during use.

[0014] Optionally, a pad is provided at the bottom of the support leg, the pad is fixedly connected to the support leg, the pad is arc-shaped, and the center of the pad is located on the side close to the support leg.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a pad is set at the bottom of the support leg. The arc-shaped pad can contact the ground after the support leg angle is adjusted, thereby stabilizing the support leg. Moreover, the arc-shaped pad has a smaller contact area with the ground, resulting in less wear and tear, which can improve the service life of the pad.

[0016] Optionally, the positioning component includes a pin and a ring. One end of the ring is fixedly connected to the pin, and the other end is detachably connected to the pin. The round tube is provided with a pin hole, and the frame is provided with multiple pin holes of corresponding shapes. The pin passes through the pin holes on the frame and the round tube and is connected to the ring.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the round tube can be fixed by forming interference after the pin passes through the pin hole. After the pin passes through the pin hole and is fixed with the ring buckle, the ring buckle cooperates with the pin to wrap the round tube and the frame, which can further restrict the displacement of the pin, thereby reducing the possibility of the pin coming out.

[0018] Optionally, the pad has a through hole, and the support leg has a through groove at the position corresponding to the through hole. The through hole and through groove are used for the ground nail to pass through.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, through holes and slots are made in the pad and the support, so that the support can be fixed to the ground with ground nails, thereby further improving the stability of the support.

[0020] Optionally, a fixing plate is provided on the side wall of the frame below the electrical box hook, and the fixing plate is used to abut against the electrical box.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixing plate is installed on the side wall of the frame. When the electrical box is hung on the electrical box hook, the fixing plate can abut against the electrical box, thereby reducing the shaking of the electrical box and further improving the stability during use.

[0022] Optionally, the sandbag hook includes a reinforcing plate and a hook body. The reinforcing plate is welded to a round tube and is integrally formed with the hook body. The hook body is inclined upwards, and a baffle is provided at the end of the hook body away from the reinforcing plate. The baffle is integrally formed with the hook body.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, the sandbag hook includes a reinforcing plate and a hook body. When the sandbag is attached, the stability of the sandbag hook can be further improved, and the occurrence of the sandbag hook falling off can be reduced. The hook body is set at an angle, which makes it easier to send the sandbag in. The baffle plate can block the sandbag after the hook body is deformed, reducing the occurrence of the sandbag falling off and affecting the stability of the frame.

[0024] Optionally, the electrical box hook includes a mounting plate, which is welded to the frame. A circular hanging ring is provided at the upper end of the mounting plate, and the circular hanging ring is integrally formed with the mounting plate.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, the installation plate can improve the stability of the electrical box hook, while the circular hanging ring makes it easier to insert the electrical box into the circular hanging ring when it is hung. The insertion of the ring creates interference with the circular hanging ring, further restricting the electrical box and making it more stable.

[0026] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. This application solves the problem that in the prior art, when placing power supply equipment on a tripod, it is difficult to place the power supply equipment on the tripod, and the increased load makes it easy to tip over. This application solves the problem by setting a sandbag hook on the round tube, which can hang sandbags to increase the weight and make the center of gravity of the machine more stable, thereby reducing the chance of the tripod tipping over during use. In addition, an electrical box hook is set to provide installation space for the electrical box and facilitate the connection of the indicator light to the electrical box.

[0028] 2. This application also provides a sliding connecting tube. After sliding the tube, the support leg can be driven by the connecting rod, thereby adjusting the support leg. The support leg can be retracted to improve the convenience of carrying. The support leg can also be adjusted in angle according to the usage situation to further improve versatility.

[0039] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present application will be further described in detail through specific embodiments.

[0040] A multi-purpose portable tripod, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a frame 1 with three legs 11 at its bottom. These legs 11 are spaced apart circumferentially around the frame 1 and hinged to it. A circular tube 2 is also provided at the bottom of the frame 1, fitted onto the frame 1 and slidably connected to it. The tube 2 slides vertically along the frame 1. Positioning elements for limiting the displacement of the tube 2 are also provided on the frame 1. A connecting rod 3 is provided between the tube 2 and the legs 11, with one end hinged to the tube 2 and the other end hinged to the legs 11. In practice, the tube 2 can be moved up and down, allowing the connecting rod 3 to adjust the angle of the legs 11, or the legs 11 can be retracted for easier carrying and improved usability.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the circular tube 2 is equipped with multiple sandbag hooks 21 and hinges. The sandbag hooks 21 and hinges are spaced apart circumferentially around the circular tube 2, and are also spaced apart from each other. Each hinge includes two hinge plates 22, with a space between the two hinge plates 22 for a support leg 11 to extend into. The hinge plates 22 have corresponding hinge holes 221. In practice, the sandbag hooks 21 are hook-shaped, and both the sandbag hooks 21 and the hinges are directly welded to the circular tube 2. The support leg 11 extends between the two hinge plates 22 and is hinged to them.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame 1 is also equipped with an extension rod 12. One end of the extension rod 12 faces the frame 1 and is connected to a connecting pipe 121. The connecting pipe 121 is inserted into the frame 1. The top of the extension rod 12 is equipped with a mounting plate 123 for mounting indicator lights, and the mounting plate 123 is fixedly connected to the extension rod 12. Corresponding connecting holes 122 are provided on the extension rod 12 and the pipe body. Bolts are provided at the connecting holes 122 on the extension rod 12 and the pipe body. A positioning element is also provided on the frame 1 at the connecting pipe 121 to limit the displacement of the connecting pipe 121. In specific implementation, the bolt can be connected by rotating the handle through the connecting hole 122 on the frame 1. During transportation, the extension rod 12 can be removed for easy transport.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the positioning component includes a pin 23 and a ring 231. One end of the ring 231 is fixedly connected to the pin 23, and the other end is detachably connected to the pin 23 by insertion. The circular tube 2 is provided with corresponding pin holes 24, and the frame 1 is provided with multiple corresponding pin holes 24. The pin 23 passes through the pin holes 24 on the frame 1 and the circular tube 2 and then connects to the ring 231. In specific implementation, the pin 23 at the circular tube 2 can be inserted after the circular tube 2 slides to restrict the position of the circular tube 2, while the pin 23 at the extension rod 12 abuts against the bottom of the extension rod 12 after extending into the frame 1, thereby fixing the extension rod 12.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an electrical box hook 13 for hanging a distribution box is also provided on the upper side wall of the frame 1. The electrical box hook 13 includes a mounting plate 131, which is welded to the frame 1. A circular hanging ring 132 is provided at the upper end of the mounting plate 131, and the circular hanging ring 132 is integrally formed with the mounting plate 131. A fixing plate 15 is provided on the side wall of the frame 1 below the electrical box hook 13. The fixing plate 15 is located on the same side as the electrical box hook 13 and faces the same direction as the frame 1. In specific implementation, as follows... Figure 3 As shown, the distribution box is hung on the circular hanging ring 132. After the distribution box is hung, it interferes with the circular hanging ring 132. The lower part of the distribution box abuts against the fixing plate 15 to reduce the shaking of the distribution box after it is hung.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pad 14 is provided at the bottom of the support leg 11. The pad 14 is fixedly connected to the support leg 11 by welding. The pad 14 is arc-shaped, with its center located on the side near the support leg 11. A through hole 141 is provided on the pad 14, and a through groove 111 is provided on the support leg 11 at the position corresponding to the through hole 141. In specific implementation, the through hole 141 and the through groove 111 are used for ground nails to pass through, and the support leg 11 is directly fixed to the ground by the ground nails.

[0046] Working principle: When needed, the support legs 11 at the bottom of the frame 1 are opened, and the angle of the support legs 11 is adjusted by the round tube 2. When the angle of the support legs 11 is appropriate, the position of the round tube 2 is fixed by the pin 23, and the support legs 11 are fixed to the ground by passing the ground nail through the support legs 11 and the pad plate 14. Then, the sandbags are hung on the sandbag hooks 21 of the round tube 2, and the distribution box is hung on the distribution box hook 13. Finally, the extension rod 12 is installed and the indicator light is installed on the mounting plate 123 of the extension rod 12. The distribution box and the indicator light are then connected to start working.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] like Figure 4As shown, the main difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is the sandbag hook 21. The sandbag hook 21 in Embodiment 2 includes a reinforcing plate 211 and a hook body 212. The reinforcing plate 211 is directly welded to the round tube 2. The reinforcing plate 211 and the hook body 212 are integrally formed. The hook body 212 is inclined upward and is set towards the end away from the reinforcing plate 211. A baffle 213 is provided at the end of the hook body 212 away from the reinforcing plate 211. The baffle 213 is integrally formed with the hook 212.

[0049] Working principle: When the sandbag is attached, the stability of the sandbag hook 21 can be further improved, reducing the chance of the sandbag hook 21 falling off. The hook body 212 is tilted to make it easier to feed the sandbag in. The baffle 213 can block the sandbag after the hook body 212 deforms, reducing the chance of the sandbag falling off and affecting the stability of the frame 1.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] The main difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 lies in the support leg 11, such as Figure 5 As shown, in Embodiment 3, the end of the support leg 11 has an outlet 113, and the interior of the support leg 11 is hollow, with a receiving cavity 112 communicating with the outlet 113. An elastic sandbag 4 is placed inside the receiving cavity 112, comprising an elastic cloth bag and quicksand, with the elastic cloth bag completely enclosing the quicksand. A slider 114 is also slidably disposed inside the receiving cavity 112, and the elastic sandbag 4 is fixedly connected to the slider 114. A sliding groove 117 is formed on the side wall of the support leg 11 corresponding to the slider 114, and a protrusion 115 is provided on the slider 114 facing the sliding groove 117, with the protrusion 115 slidably connected within the sliding groove 117. A rubber pad 116 is also wrapped around the outlet 113 of the support leg 11. In practice, after the slider 114 slides inside the support leg 11, it can allow the elastic sandbag 4 to pass through. After the flowing sand passes through, it can support the elastic sandbag 4. After the elastic sandbag 4 extends out of the support leg 11, it can deform. After deformation, it contacts the rubber pad 116 to reduce the possibility of the elastic sandbag 4 being cut by the support leg 11. This is suitable for uneven road surfaces during construction. When the road surface is flat, the outlet 113 can first contact the ground to seal the elastic sandbag 4 inside the support leg 11. The sliding groove 117 can limit the displacement of the slider 114 and reduce the possibility of the elastic sandbag 4 coming out completely.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, a push block 31 is also provided at the hinge of the sliding groove 117 and the connecting rod 3. The push block 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 3 and rotates with the connecting rod 3. A push groove is provided on the support leg 11 corresponding to the push block 31, passing through the support leg 11. In specific implementation, the push block 31 pushes the slider 114 towards the outlet 113 after passing through the push groove during rotation. When the support leg 11 is set up, the slider 114 can be pushed and the elastic sandbag 4 can be passed out.

[0053] Working principle: When the support leg 11 is used in an area with uneven road surface during construction, the elastic sandbag 4 can be removed from the support leg 11. Due to the deformable nature of the elastic sandbag 4, it can fit into the road surface, thereby providing support for the support leg 11.

[0054] The above are preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
