In addition, it should be stated in advance that the drawings of the present invention are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted according to actual sizes. The following embodiments will further explain the relevant technical contents of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed contents are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] [First embodiment]

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a teleprompter, which includes a connecting bracket 10 , a bearing seat 20 , a teleprompter optical mechanism 30 and an adapter plate 40 .

[0034] The connecting bracket 10 is used to carry a display assembly 50. The connecting bracket 10 includes a bracket bottom plate 11 and a vertical riser 12. The vertical riser 12 is vertically connected to one side of the bracket bottom plate 11. The prompting optical mechanism 30 is connected to the top of the vertical riser 12, and the display assembly 50 is locked to the vertical riser 12 in a threaded manner and supported by the bracket bottom plate 11.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, in order to firmly connect the display assembly 50, the vertical riser 12 has two positioning slots 121 and two thread locking grooves 122. The two thread locking grooves 122 are respectively located at the outermost sides, and the two positioning slots 121 are located between the two thread locking grooves 122. Figure 2 As shown, the display assembly 50 has an outer frame 51, which is roughly in the shape of a square frame and contains a display screen. The outer frame 51 includes two positioning protrusions 511 and two threaded locking joints 512. The two positioning protrusions 511 are respectively inserted into the two positioning slots 121, and the two threaded locking joints 512 are respectively accommodated in the two threaded locking grooves 122. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of the positioning slots, the threaded locking grooves, the positioning protrusions and the threaded locking joints can be at least one.

[0036] In addition, the bottom of the teleprompter of this embodiment can be placed on a platform or connected to a bracket (not shown). The bottom surface of the bracket bottom plate 11 has a bracket screw hole 110, such as a 1 / 4 inch screw hole. The bottom surface of the outer frame 51 of the display assembly 50 has another bracket screw hole 510, such as a 1 / 4 inch screw hole. These bracket screw holes can be suitable for existing 1 / 4 inch pan head screws and can be suitable for a tripod with a quick-release platform.

[0037] The prompting optical mechanism 30 includes a main housing 31, a front frame 32, a rear frame 33 and a beam splitter 34. The bottom of the main housing 31 is connected to the connecting bracket 10, the front frame 32 is located at the front end of the main housing 31, the rear frame 33 is located at the rear end of the main housing 31, and the beam splitter 34 is fixed to the front frame 32. The beam splitter 34 has a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective function, which can reflect the content of the display assembly 50 to the speaker, and the video recording device can also take pictures through the beam splitter 34. In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the front end refers to the end close to the user, and the rear end refers to the end away from the user, but it is not used to limit the present invention.

[0038] In addition, when the teleprompter is used in a dim environment, the strong light projected by the screen panel of the display assembly 50 may pass through the beam splitter 34 and then be reflected from the inner side of the main housing 31 to the beam splitter 34, causing the video recording device (not shown) to record part of the blue light, thereby causing a glare effect. To solve the above problem, the inner side of the main housing 31 of this embodiment forms a matte microstructure, such as by biting, sandblasting or painting, thereby reducing the light reflected by the inner side of the main housing 31, thereby reducing the glare of the photography.

[0039] The adapter plate 40 is detachably connected to the rear frame 33. In this embodiment, the removable adapter plate 40 allows the prompting optical mechanism 30 to be suitable for different video recording devices, such as cameras, camcorders or mobile phones. The adapter plate 40 has a photographic opening 41. The shape of the adapter plate 40 of this embodiment corresponds to the opening shape of the rear frame 33 of the prompting optical mechanism 30. Specifically, the openings of the adapter plate 40 and the rear frame 33 are both rectangular. The adapter plate 40 is connected to the corner of the rear frame 33 by two quick-release screws 402. The adapter plate 40 also has a bottom plug-in piece 403 (see Figure 2 ), the bottom plug-in piece 403 protrudes slightly forward and downward from the adapter plate 40, and can be first plugged into the bottom edge slot 333 of the photographic opening 41 (see Figure 3 ).

[0040] In this embodiment, the adapter plate 40 further includes a U-shaped rib 42, which is located at the periphery of the photographic opening 41 and protrudes in a direction away from the prompting optical mechanism 30. The U-shaped rib 42 can be adaptively abutted against the periphery of the photographic lens to provide positioning and partial light shielding.

[0041] The support seat 20 has an assembly plate 21 and a horizontal support plate 22. The horizontal support plate 22 is connected to the top of the assembly plate 21, and the assembly plate 21 is connected to one side of the connecting bracket 10 in a liftable manner to adjust the support seat 20 to different heights. In this embodiment, the rear side of the vertical riser 12 of the connecting bracket 10 is aligned with the rear frame 33 of the prompting optical mechanism 30. Therefore, the horizontal support plate 22 can be adjusted to different heights corresponding to the photographic opening 41 of the rear frame 33. In principle, the horizontal support plate 22 is located below the rear frame 33.

[0042] The assembly plate 21 has a vertical assembly slot 211. The assembly plate 21 has an adjustment screw 21S, and the adjustment screw 21S passes through the vertical assembly slot 211 and is threadedly connected to one side of the vertical riser 12 of the connecting bracket 10, that is, the rear side of the vertical riser 12.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the horizontal carrier 22 has a first position adjustment slot 221 and a second position adjustment slot 222. The first position adjustment slot 221 extends in a direction away from the prompting optical mechanism 30, and the second position adjustment slot 222 is perpendicular to the first position adjustment slot 221. The horizontal carrier 22 can carry a camera (not shown) or a clamp (not shown), and the clamp can form a clamping slot to clamp a mobile phone or a tablet. The bottom of the clamp can be connected to any position adjustment slot by a platform screw 22S. More specifically, the first position adjustment slot 221 is parallel to the shooting direction, which can adjust the distance between the video recording device and the adapter plate 40; the second position adjustment slot 222 is parallel to the adapter plate 40, which can adjust the left and right position of the video recording device so that the lens is aligned with the photographic opening 41 of the adapter plate 40.

[0044] In this embodiment, the horizontal carrier plate 22 further has a plurality of anti-slip convex strips 223, and the plurality of anti-slip convex strips 223 are located on both sides of the first position adjustment slot 221. In addition, the horizontal carrier plate 22 further has two L-shaped positioning slots 224, and the two L-shaped positioning slots 224 are respectively located on both sides of the second position adjustment slot 222. The L-shaped positioning slots 224 can be provided with a lateral clamp (not shown) to clamp the side of the video recording device.

[0045] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the operator can adjust the horizontal height of the horizontal carrier plate 22 of the carrier body 20 by rotating the adjustment screw 21S. In other words, the height of the video recording device (not shown) on the horizontal carrier plate 22 can be adjusted to adjust the lens of the video recording device (not shown) to align with the photographic opening 41 of the adapter plate 40. In addition, the operator can adjust the clamp (not shown) on the horizontal carrier plate 22 by rotating the platform screw 22S to adjust the left and right position of the video recording device (not shown).

[0046] [Second embodiment]

[0047] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the difference between the teleprompter of this embodiment and the previous embodiment lies in the adapter plate 40a. In addition, the teleprompter of this embodiment further includes a light shielding cover 60. The adapter plate 40a of this embodiment has an inner frame 45 and an outer frame 46. Fig.10 As shown, the quick release screws 402 lock the inner frame 45 to the rear frame 33. The bottom plug-in piece 403 is connected to the bottom edge of the inner frame 45, so that the adapter plate 40a can be plugged and fixed to the lower edge of the rear frame 33. The outer frame 46 is connected to the outer edge of the inner frame 45, and the outer frame 46 extends backward and upward from the inner frame 45. The outer frame 46 is staggered with the inner frame 45, and a gap is formed between the outer frame 46 and the rear frame 33.

[0048] The shade body 60 is detachably connected to the periphery of the adapter plate 40a. Specifically, the shade body 60 has a top wall 61, a pair of side walls 62 and a front positioning frame 63. The pair of side walls 62 are connected to both sides of the top wall 61 and extend downward to the connecting bracket 10. The front positioning frame 63 is connected to the front edge of the top wall 61 and the front edge of the side wall 62. The front positioning frame 63 of the shade body 60 can be inserted between the outer frame 46 and the rear frame 33 and abut against the inner frame 45. The shade body 60 is made of opaque material.

[0049] [Third embodiment]

[0050] See also Figure 11 to Figure 12 , this embodiment shows that the present invention can replace different adapter plates. The adapter plate 40b includes a light shielding recessed portion 42b, which extends toward the prompting optical mechanism 30, and more specifically, the light shielding recessed portion 42b extends toward the inside of the main housing 31. The photographic opening 41b is formed on the inner side of the light shielding recessed portion 42b. The photographic opening 41b of this embodiment is slightly rectangular in shape, which is different from the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0051] The adapter plate 40b of this embodiment can be applied to photographic equipment with a slightly protruding lens, such as a mobile phone, and the light shielding recessed portion 42b can provide an effect of shielding external light.
