Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of auxiliary photographic equipment, and particularly relates to a panoramic double-groove mounting base and a photographic kit. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the clamping seats on photographic tripods can only be adapted to clamp a quick-release plate of one model, and most of the interfaces of camera cages (peripheral expansion frames for video shooting cameras) on the market are dovetail grooves of Arca-Swiss standard at the bottom and sliding grooves of NATO standard on the side (if the side is an Arca-Swiss dovetail groove, it is very easy to block the camera wiring port, so there are almost no Arca-Swiss standard dovetail grooves designed on the side of the camera cage).

[0003] Therefore, when a camera equipped with a cage is assembled on a tripod head to shoot a vertical picture, the camera needs to rotate 90 degrees towards the tripod side with the rotation of the head. At this time, the center of gravity of the tripod will shift. Especially when shooting video, monitors, microphones, etc. are often added to the camera cage, which is likely to cause the center of gravity of the tripod to be unbalanced and the tripod to easily fall over.

[0004] Secondly, in the videos posted on short video platforms, the vertical-screen pictures are liked by many users. Therefore, the requirement for horizontal (rotational) camera movement during vertical-screen shooting becomes a necessary function. Therefore, a panoramic clamping seat that can not only clamp the camera cage for vertical shooting but also perform circumferential horizontal camera movement can undoubtedly greatly improve the efficiency of video shooting. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a panoramic double-groove mounting base. This clamping seat can not only clamp a quick-release plate of Arca-Swiss standard but also clamp a quick-release plate of NATO standard. When the camera cage needs to be vertically shot, the NATO-standard quick-release plate on the side of the cage can be assembled in the double-groove clamping seat, thus avoiding the problem of the center of gravity of the tripod being unbalanced without rotating the head by 90 degrees. Secondly, due to the panoramic function of this double-groove, the use efficiency is greatly improved.

[0006] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0007] On the one hand, the present invention provides a panoramic double-groove mounting base, including a base and a clamping seat rotatably mounted on the base. A locking assembly is connected to the clamping seat for locking between the clamping seat and the base.

[0008] A fixed clamping head and a movable clamping head are oppositely arranged at the outer edge of the clamping seat, and an adjustment component is connected to the clamping seat for driving the movable clamping head to slide closer to or away from the fixed clamping head.

[0009] A flip clamp for cooperating with the movable clamp to clamp and fix the camera is rotatably mounted on the clamp seat, and the flip clamp is located between the fixed clamp and the movable clamp.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting hole A is formed on one side of the clamp seat facing the base, and the locking assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted in the mounting hole A;

[0011] A locking arm is fixedly disposed outside the rotating shaft, a screw hole A is penetrated through the outer circumferential surface of the clamping seat, and an operating member for pushing the locking arm to swing and abut against the base is threadedly connected in the screw hole A.

[0012] Furthermore, the operating member includes a screw rod A threadedly connected to the screw hole A, one end of the screw rod A extends to the front of the free end of the locking arm, the other end of the screw rod A extends out of the clamp seat, and the extended end thereof is fixedly connected to a knob A.

[0013] Furthermore, a screw hole B is provided on one side of the clamp seat facing the movable clamp, and a through hole is provided on the movable clamp, and the through hole coincides with the center line of the screw hole A;

[0014] The positioning assembly comprises a screw rod B threadedly connected to the screw hole B, the other end of the screw rod B passes through the through hole and extends out of the movable chuck, and the extended end thereof is fixedly connected to a knob B;

[0015] Mounting holes B are respectively provided on opposite sides of the clamping seat and the movable clamping head, and a spring is commonly installed in the two opposite mounting holes B.

[0016] Furthermore, a truncated table is fixedly connected to the center of the base, and a rotating groove for rotating with the truncated table is provided on one side of the clamping seat facing the base;

[0017] A connecting hole is provided through the center of the clamp seat from top to bottom, the upper end of the truncated table extends into the connecting hole, and a screw hole C is provided on the top surface of the truncated table, and a connecting bolt that connects the base and the clamp seat as a whole is threadedly connected in the screw hole C.

[0018] Furthermore, the clamp seat is provided with a receiving groove for receiving the flip clamp, and the flip clamp is provided with a finger groove for prying the flip clamp out of the receiving groove.

[0019] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the base is provided with scale lines.

[0020] Furthermore, one end of the locking arm close to the rotating shaft protrudes outward to form a protrusion, and the protrusion is located on a side of the locking arm facing the truncated table.

[0021] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a photography kit, including an inverted pan-tilt head, and the inverted pan-tilt head adopts the panoramic double-slot mounting base as described above.

[0022] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a photography kit, including a spherical pan-tilt head, and the spherical pan-tilt head adopts the panoramic double-slot mounting base as described above.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] 1. The clamping seat of the present invention can be applicable to quick-release plates of two specifications. When cooperating with a quick-release plate of Arca-Swiss specification, the flipping chuck is rotated and received, so that the quick-release plate of Arca-Swiss specification is inserted between the fixed chuck and the movable chuck, and then the movable chuck is driven by the position adjustment assembly to approach the fixed chuck to lock and fix the camera;

[0025] When cooperating with a quick-release plate of NATO specification, the flipping chuck is flipped and stands between the fixed chuck and the movable chuck, and then the quick-release plate of NATO specification on the side of the cage is slid into the space between the flipping chuck and the movable chuck. Finally, the movable chuck is driven by the position adjustment assembly to approach the flipping chuck to lock and fix the camera. Compared with the clamping seats in the prior art, the present invention can clamp both quick-release plates of Arca-Swiss specification and quick-release plates of NATO specification. When the camera cage needs to be vertically photographed, the quick-release plate of NATO specification on the side of the cage can be assembled in the double-slot clamping seat, so that there is no need to rotate the pan-tilt head by 90 degrees, avoiding the problem of the center of gravity imbalance of the tripod.

[0026] 2. When it is necessary to horizontally adjust the shooting angle of the camera, only need to rotate the clamping seat, and a circumferential horizontal rotation occurs between the clamping seat and the base. After the angle adjustment is completed, the clamping seat and the base are locked by the locking assembly. Description of the Drawings

[0039] Typical implementation manners reflecting the features and advantages of the present invention will be specifically described in the following description. It should be understood that the present invention can have various changes in different implementation manners, all of which do not depart from the scope of the present invention, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are essentially for illustrative purposes rather than for limiting the present invention.

[0040] In the description of the present application, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper" and "lower" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the structure referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a panoramic double-slot mounting base, including a base 1 and a clamping seat 2 rotatably mounted on the base 1. The clamping seat 2 can rotate 360° horizontally relative to the base 1. A scale line 15 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the base 1 to facilitate observing and controlling the rotation angle of the clamping seat 2. Specifically:

[0042] A frustum 8 is fixedly connected to the center of the base 1. A rotating groove 9 that is rotationally engaged with the frustum 8 is formed on one side of the clamping seat 2 facing the base 1, realizing the rotational connection between the base 1 and the clamping seat 2. A connection hole 10 penetrates through the clamping seat 2 vertically. The upper end of the frustum 8 extends into the connection hole 10, and a screw hole C11 is formed on the top surface of the frustum 8. A connection bolt 12 that connects the base 1 and the clamping seat 2 into one body is threadedly connected to the screw hole C11. The connection bolt 12 is not tightened, ensuring that the clamping seat 2 can rotate horizontally relative to the base 1.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a locking assembly 3 for locking between the clamping seat 2 and the base 1 is connected to the clamping seat 2. An installation hole A31 is formed on one side of the clamping seat 2 facing the base 1. The locking assembly 3 includes a rotating shaft 32 rotatably installed in the installation hole A31. A locking arm 33 is fixedly arranged outside the rotating shaft 32. One end of the locking arm 33 close to the rotating shaft 32 protrudes outward toward the frustum 8 to form a protrusion 16. A screw hole A34 penetrates through the outer circumferential surface of the clamping seat 2. An operating member 35 for pushing the locking arm 33 to swing and abut against the base 1 is threadedly connected to the screw hole A34;

[0044] The operating member 35 includes a screw rod A351 threadedly connected to the screw hole A34. One end of the screw rod A351 extends to the front of the free end of the locking arm 33. The other end of the screw rod A351 extends out of the clamping seat 2, and a knob A352 is fixedly connected to the extended end. When the screw rod A351 is screwed by the knob A352 to move along the screw hole A34, the screw rod A351 pushes the free end of the locking arm 33 to move. The locking arm 33 rotates around the rotating shaft 32 to drive the protrusion 16 to abut against the frustum 8, thereby realizing the locking between the clamping seat 2 and the base 1;

[0045] The locking arm 33 in the present application document is a locking member with a second-class lever structure. The rotating shaft 32 is the fulcrum of the lever structure. The protrusion 16 and the rotating shaft 32 cooperate to form the resistance arm of the lever structure. The rotating shaft 32 and the other force-receiving end of the locking arm 33 are the power arms. The power arm is much larger than the resistance arm. Therefore, when the operating member 35 is screwed with a small force to push the locking arm 33 to rotate in the present invention, the protrusion 16 can generate a large acting force on the frustum 8, thereby obtaining a good locking effect and greatly improving the use feel.

[0046] Please refer toFigures 1 to 3 At the outer edge of the clamping seat 2, a fixed chuck 4 and a movable chuck 5 are oppositely arranged. The fixed chuck 4 is integrally formed with the clamping seat 2, or other existing fixing methods such as screw fixing can be adopted. The movable chuck 5 is inserted into the clamping seat 2. The movable chuck 5 and the fixed chuck 4 cooperate to form a first clamping space for fixing the Arca-Swiss quick-release plate of the camera. A positioning component 6 is connected to the clamping seat 2 for driving the movable chuck 5 to slide close to or away from the fixed chuck 4. By driving the movable chuck 5 to move through the positioning component 6 and changing the distance between the movable chuck 5 and the fixed chuck 4, the camera can be fixed or the camera can be taken out by increasing the distance.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 On one side of the clamping seat 2 facing the movable chuck 5, a screw hole B61 is provided. A through hole 62 is formed through the movable chuck 5. The center line of the through hole 62 coincides with the center line of the screw hole A34. The positioning component 6 includes a screw rod B63 threadedly connected to the screw hole B61. The other end of the screw rod B63 passes through the through hole 62 and extends out of the movable chuck 5, and the extending end is fixedly connected with a knob B64.

[0048] Installation holes B65 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the clamping seat 2 and the movable chuck 5. A spring 66 is installed in the two opposite installation holes B65. By externally screwing the screw rod B63 with the knob B64, when the screw rod B63 moves outward under the action of the knob B64, the spring 66 deforms and acts between the clamping seat 2 and the movable chuck 5 to push the movable chuck 5 outward, so that the distance between the movable chuck 5 and the fixed chuck 4 can be increased. At this time, the camera can be installed or removed.

[0049] When the screw rod B63 is screwed inward with the knob B64, the knob B64 can push the movable chuck 5 to move close to the clamping seat 2 to fix the camera.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A receiving groove 13 is provided on the outer top surface of the clamp seat 2, and a flip clamp 7 for clamping and fixing the camera in cooperation with the movable clamp 5 is rotatably installed in the receiving groove 13. The flip clamp 7 is located between the fixed clamp 4 and the movable clamp 5. When the flip clamp 7 is rotated outward and stands in the receiving groove 13, the flip clamp 7 cooperates with the movable clamp 5 to form a second clamping space that can accommodate a Nato-standard quick-release plate. At this time, it is only necessary to clamp the Nato-standard quick-release plate on the side of the camera cage into the second clamping space to achieve vertical shooting of the camera and ensure the shooting stability of the camera. In addition, the position of the movable clamp 5 is adjusted by the adjustment component 6 to achieve clamping or loosening of the Nato slide slot. A finger groove 14 is provided on the flip clamp 7 for prying the flip clamp 7 out of the receiving groove 13, which is conducive to prying and using the flip clamp 7.

[0051] See also Figure 8 The present invention also provides a photography kit, including an inverted gimbal 17, wherein the inverted gimbal 17 adopts the panoramic double-slot mounting seat as described above. In this embodiment, the base 11 is overall cylindrical, with the panoramic double-slot mounting seat installed on the top, and a universal head and other structures installed on the bottom of the cylinder, so that the inverted gimbal 17 has the functions of panoramic and double-slot clamping, and is more practical.

[0052] See also Figure 9 The present invention also provides a photography kit, including a spherical head 18, and the clamping seat at the upper end of the spherical head 18 adopts the panoramic double-slot mounting seat as described above. In this embodiment, the panoramic double-slot mounting seat is connected to the connecting end of the spherical head ball by screws, so that the spherical head 18 has the functions of panoramic and double-slot clamping, and is more practical.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention are within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
