[0002] With the continuous expansion of professional photography, outdoor shooting, live recording and other scenes, the demand for stable support of photographic equipment (such as cameras, camcorders, and photographic accessories such as light supplement lamps and microphones) is increasingly prominent. As the core intermediate component connecting the photographic equipment and the photographic support (such as a tripod), the mounting device realizes reliable connection and fixation between the photographic equipment and the photographic support through clamping, limiting, locking and other actions, ensures the stability of the photographic equipment during shooting, and avoids problems such as blurred pictures, distorted sound, and light offset caused by shaking.

[0003] However, in actual application, the existing mounting device for photographic equipment has the following disadvantages: the size parameters such as the outer diameter and pipe diameter of different photographic supports (such as tripod legs) are different, and the retraction stroke of the existing mounting device is fixed, which can only adapt to photographic supports within a specific size range, and the adjustment flexibility is insufficient. When the size is too large, effective clamping cannot be achieved, resulting in loose connection between the photographic equipment and the photographic support, affecting the shooting stability, and when the size is too small, excessive clamping can easily cause surface wear and structural deformation of the photographic support; such size adaptability limitation limits the universal adaptability of the mounting device, forcing users to purchase corresponding mounting devices for photographic supports of different sizes, increasing the equipment investment cost of users.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present application provides a mounting device 100 of photographic equipment, which comprises a clamping strip 10, a mounting seat 20 and a locking assembly 30, and a plurality of locking portions 11 are arranged on one side surface of the clamping strip 10; The mounting seat 20 is internally structured with a mounting cavity 21 and a limiting passage 22 through which the clamping strip 10 passes, one end of the clamping strip 10 is connected to one side of the mounting seat 20, and the other end is passed out of the limiting passage 22 to form a clamping opening 23 for clamping the photographic support pipe; The locking assembly 30 is arranged in the mounting cavity 21, the locking assembly 30 includes a locking piece 31 and a dial mechanism 32, one end of the locking piece 31 is partially located in the limiting passage 22, used for abutting against the locking portion 11 to lock the clamping strip 10; the dial mechanism 32 includes a dial piece 321 exposed to the mounting cavity 21 and movably connected with the mounting seat 20, the dial piece 321 abuts against the locking piece 31.

[0026] Among them, the clamping strip 10 is provided with a plurality of locking portions 11 on one side surface, such as a toothed structure, a clamping groove, etc., which provides a locking matching site for the locking assembly 30, and ensures the stability of the force during locking. One end of the clamping strip 10 is connected to one side of the mounting seat 20, which can be hinged, fixedly connected, etc., to ensure the structural support during clamping, and the other end can reciprocate along the limiting passage 22 of the mounting seat 20, and the size of the clamping opening 23 is adjusted by changing the moving stroke, which is suitable for photographic support pipe fittings of different specifications, such as tripod leg pipes of different outer diameters. When the locking assembly 30 is locked, the clamping strip 10 transmits the clamping force through the abutting surface of the photographic support pipe fitting, ensuring that the photographic support pipe fitting and the mounting device 100 do not shake relative to each other, and ensuring the stability of the photographic equipment.

[0027] Preferably, the plurality of locking portions 11 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the clamping strip 10, ensuring that the clamping strip 10 can effectively abut against the locking piece 31 at different moving positions, covering a wider range of sizes of photographic support pipe fittings.

[0028] The mounting cavity 21 internally structured in the mounting seat 20 provides installation and movement space for the locking assembly 30, and the limiting passage 22 provides guidance for the movement of the clamping strip 10, ensuring that the clamping strip 10 only moves in the preset direction (such as a straight line direction), avoiding the clamping strip 10 from deviating to cause the clamping opening 23 to be misaligned, and ensuring the centring and stability during clamping.

[0029] It should be noted that the mounting seat 20 can be directly or indirectly matched with the photographic equipment (such as the connection interface of the camera, the light supplement lamp, and the microphone), to realize the fixation of the mounting device 100 and the photographic equipment, and at the same time, the clamping opening 23 is connected with the photographic support pipe fitting, to build a connection bridge between the photographic equipment and the photographic support.

[0030] The locking part 31 partially extends into the limiting channel 22 and can abut against the locking portion 11 of the clamping strip 10; when abutting, the locking part 31 limits the movement of the clamping strip 10 through its structure (such as a protrusion or a clamping block) to fix the clamping strip 10 at the current position, ensuring the size stability of the clamping opening 23 and avoiding loosening of the clamping strip 10 due to external force; when unlocking, the locking part 31 is separated from the locking portion 11 to release the movement limitation of the clamping strip 10 and allow adjustment of the size of the clamping opening 23.

[0031] The actuating member 321 is exposed to the mounting cavity 21, which facilitates manual operation (such as actuating or pressing) of the user to control the locking state without the need for additional tools, improving the operation convenience. In addition, the actuating member 321 is movably connected (such as rotationally connected or slidably connected) to the mounting base 20 and abuts against the locking part 31. When the user operates the actuating member 321, the actuating member 321 drives the locking part 31 to move along a preset track (such as lifting or translating) through the abutting force, realizing the abutment or separation of the locking part 31 and the locking portion 11 and completing the switching of locking and unlocking.

[0032] The mounting device 100 of the photographic equipment in the present application forms the clamping opening 23 that can adapt to photographic support pipes of different sizes through the cooperation of the clamping strip 10 and the mounting base 20, and realizes stable locking of the clamping state by means of the locking assembly 30. The clamping strip 10 can move along the limiting channel 22 of the mounting base 20 to adjust the opening and closing size of the clamping opening 23, adapting to photographic support pipes of different outer diameters / tube diameters. When the clamping strip 10 is adjusted to the position that fits the photographic support pipe, the locking part 31 of the locking assembly 30 abuts against the locking portion 11 of the clamping strip 10 to limit the movement of the clamping strip 10. By operating the exposed actuating member 321, the locking part 31 can be driven to separate from or abut against the locking portion 11, realizing the switching of unlocking and locking of the clamping state and finally achieving reliable clamping and fixing of photographic support pipes of different sizes.

[0033] The present application can flexibly adjust the size of the clamping opening 23 through the cooperation of the clamping strip 10 and the limiting channel 22 and the multi-position design of the locking portion 11, adapt to photographic support pipes of different sizes, solve the problem of fixed travel of existing devices and poor universality, and reduce the cost of additional purchase of multiple sets of devices for users. At the same time, the abutting cooperation of the actuating mechanism 32 and the locking part 31 realizes convenient operation of locking and unlocking without the need for additional tools, simplifies the operation process, avoids the defects of existing devices such as complicated installation and disassembly and easy to miss the shooting opportunity, and integrates the overall structure into the mounting base 20, which is small in size and high in stability.

[0034] In some embodiments, the actuating mechanism 32 further includes a pressing member 322 between the actuating member 321 and the locking part 31, one end of the pressing member 322 is movably connected with the actuating member 321, and the other end abuts against the locking part 31.

[0035] The pressing piece 322 is movably connected (e.g., rotationally connected or slidingly abuts) to one end of the actuating piece 321, and can convert the non-directional movement (e.g., rotation around the connection point) of the actuating piece 321 into directional linear movement of the pressing piece 322, so as to accurately transmit the driving force along the movement direction of the locking piece 31, and avoid the locking piece 31 from being stuck or worn due to the deviation of the force direction.

[0036] The pressing piece 322 can be designed to have a suitable shape (e.g., columnar or plate-shaped) according to the installation position and size difference of the actuating piece 321 and the locking piece 31, so as to fill the structural gap therebetween, solve the problem that the actuating piece 321 cannot directly and effectively drive the locking piece 31 due to the size tolerance or assembly error of the components, and improve the structural compatibility of the locking assembly 30.

[0037] When the user operates the exposed actuating piece 321, the movement of the actuating piece 321 is converted into directional movement of the pressing piece 322 through the movable connection with the pressing piece 322, and then the pressing piece 322 abuts against the locking piece 31 to accurately transmit the force to the locking piece 31, so as to drive the locking piece 31 to abut against or separate from the locking portion 11 of the clamping strip 10.

[0038] The force transmission optimization of the pressing piece 322 can improve the driving force transmission efficiency, and the resistance of the user when operating the actuating piece 321 is significantly reduced, which is especially suitable for outdoor shooting and other scenes that need to be frequently adjusted, and effectively improves the user experience. Moreover, the pressing piece 322 can fill the gap between the components and adapt to the size tolerance, so that the manufacturing error range of the actuating piece 321 and the locking piece 31 can be appropriately relaxed, without the need for high processing precision, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty and production cost of the components.

[0039] In some embodiments, the actuating mechanism 32 further includes a first reset piece 323, one end of the first reset piece 323 is connected to the mounting seat 20, and the other end of the first reset piece 323 is connected to the pressing piece 322. The first reset piece 323 is used to apply an action force away from the locking piece 31 to the pressing piece 322.

[0040] The first reset piece 323 is always in a pre-deformation state (e.g., pre-compression of a compression spring or pre-stretching of a stretching spring) in the initial state, and continuously outputs an action force away from the locking piece 31. The action force directly drives the pressing piece 322 to maintain a preset interval from the locking piece 31, so as to ensure that the two components are not in contact and force transmission, and to avoid the influence of the pressing piece 322 on the locking state of the locking piece 31 from the root. The size of the pre-deformation force can be designed by the elastic parameter, which can not only stably drive the pressing piece 322 to maintain separation, but also ensure that the resistance of the user when operating the actuating piece 321 is within a comfortable range.

[0041] When the user operates the toggle piece 321 to drive the pressing piece 322 to move towards the locking piece 31, the first reset piece 323 is further deformed on the basis of the initial pre-deformation, storing more elastic potential energy; after the hand is released, the elastic potential energy is released, driving the pressing piece 322 to quickly reset with a force greater than the initial state, ensuring that the pressing piece 322 quickly returns to the initial position away from the locking piece 31, avoiding incomplete reset leading to accidental contact between the pressing piece 322 and the locking piece 31.

[0042] The continuous separation force of the first reset piece 323 in this embodiment provides stable spacing protection for the pressing piece 322 and the locking piece 31, so that even if the device is slightly shaken or tilted outdoors, the pressing piece 322 will not deviate towards the locking piece 31 due to gravity or inertia, and always remains in a non-contact state, ensuring that the locking state of the locking piece 31 is not disturbed by the external environment.

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking piece 31 includes a main body part 311, a clamping part 312 provided at one end of the main body part 311, and a force receiving part 313 provided at the other end of the main body part 311. The main body part 311 is rotatably provided in the mounting seat 20, the clamping part 312 is located in the limiting channel 22 for abutting against the locking part 11, and the force receiving part 313 is used for abutting against the pressing piece 322.

[0044] The main body part 311 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 20 (such as forming a rotating fit with the mounting seat 20 through a pin shaft, a rotating shaft), providing a stable rotating axis for the clamping part 312 and the force receiving part 313, ensuring that they can swing synchronously around the same axis when subjected to force, avoiding movement deviation; moreover, the main body part 311 can convert the force acting on the force receiving part 313 into a rotational moment of itself, and then transmit the moment to the clamping part 312 through its rotation, realizing force transmission closed loop.

[0045] In actual use, the length (rotating arm) of the main body part 311 can be adjusted to optimize the moment size and adapt to different clamping force requirements.

[0046] The clamping part 312 is located in the limiting channel 22 and is adapted to the shape of the locking part 11 of the clamping strip 10, such as being provided with a matching tooth groove when the locking part 11 is toothed; when the locking part 11 is a groove, the clamping part 312 is provided with a matching protrusion, which can be precisely embedded in the locking part 11 through the rotation of the main body part 311, forming stable abutment and preventing the clamping strip 10 from moving along the limiting channel 22.

[0047] The stress part 313 is shaped to match the abutting end of the pressing part 322 (e.g., flat, arc, or groove), so that the force applied by the pressing part 322 can be evenly transmitted to the stress part 313, avoiding the rotation of the main body part 311 from being stuck due to the deviation of the stress point. The distance between the stress part 313 and the rotation axis of the main body part 311 (stress arm) can be designed according to the force arm of the clamping part 312 (the distance between the clamping part 312 and the rotation axis), so that the effect of driving a large locking force with a small force can be achieved by adjusting the force arm ratio (e.g., the stress arm is larger than the clamping arm), thereby reducing the driving pressure of the pressing part 322.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the locking part 31 adopts an integrated and subdivided structure of the main body part 311, the clamping part 312, and the stress part 313, and is rotationally connected with the mounting seat 20, forming a linkage locking mechanism of the driving of the pressing part 322, the stress of the stress part 313, the rotation of the main body part 311, and the abutting locking of the clamping part 312. By using the lever principle, the force applied by the pressing part 322 to the stress part 313 is converted into the driving force of the rotation of the main body part 311, so that the clamping part 312 swings synchronously around the rotation axis of the main body part 311, realizing the abutting locking or separation unlocking with the locking part 11 of the clamping strip 10. Specifically, when the pressing part 322 applies a force to the stress part 313, the main body part 311 rotates around the rotation connection point as the axis, driving the clamping part 312 to swing away from the locking part 11 of the clamping strip 10 (unlocking state); when the force of the pressing part 322 disappears (e.g., the first reset part 323 drives the pressing part 322 to reset), the main body part 311 reversely rotates, and the clamping part 312 re-embeds into the locking part 11 of the clamping strip 10 and forms abutment (locking state).

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, the rotation lever effect of the main body part 311 can efficiently convert the driving force of the pressing part 322 into the locking force of the clamping part 312, and the locking force can be amplified by optimizing the force arm ratio, so that the clamping part 312 can still form strong abutment with the locking part 11 even if the pressing part 322 applies a small force, avoiding the loosening of the clamping strip 10. Moreover, the rotation structure design of the embodiments can optimize the transmission efficiency of the locking force and improve the locking reliability by adjusting the size ratio of the main body part 311, the clamping part 312, and the stress part 313.

[0050] In some embodiments, the pushing part 321 is provided with a pushing tooth 320 at one end of the limiting channel 22, which is matched with the locking part 11 and used to push the clamping strip 10 to move.

[0051] The driving tooth 320 is matched with the locking portion 11 of the clamping strip 10, for example, the locking portion 11 is in the form of a tooth, the driving tooth 320 is provided with a matching tooth shape; or the locking portion 11 is in the form of a groove, the driving tooth 320 is provided with a matching convex tooth, the clamping strip 10 is driven to move towards the pipe by the meshing effect until the clamping strip 10 cannot continue to move due to close contact with the pipe, so that the clamping strip 10 is accurately driven to the maximum tightening force, the clamping opening 23 is closely attached to the pipe without a gap, and the fastening effect on the pipe is enhanced.

[0052] In actual use, the photographic support such as a tripod pipe is placed in the clamping opening 23, the clamping strip 10 is preliminarily positioned by the clamping and retaining cooperation of the locking portion 11 and the clamping portion 312, then the clamping strip 10 is driven to move by the driving tooth 320 until the clamping strip 10 cannot continue to move, so that the clamping strip 10 is locked to the maximum tightening force, the clamping opening 23 is closely attached to the pipe, and the fastening effect on the pipe is enhanced.

[0053] In the embodiment, the locking portion 11 and the clamping portion 312 are matched to preliminarily position and prevent sliding, and the maximum tightening force of the driving tooth 320 is matched to finally lock and fix the position, so that the fastening effect on the pipe is improved, and the shaking caused by loose clamping during shooting is reduced.

[0054] In some embodiments, the driving tooth 320 is provided with at least two driving teeth 320, and the driving teeth 320 are distributed along the movement direction of the driving member 321.

[0055] The at least two driving teeth 320 are distributed along the movement direction of the driving member 321, and can be meshed with the locking portions 11 arranged at intervals on the clamping strip 10 to achieve multi-point driving of the clamping strip 10, so that local deformation or movement deviation of the clamping strip 10 caused by force concentration during single driving of the driving tooth 320 is avoided, and the clamping strip 10 is stably moved along the limiting channel 22.

[0056] In the embodiment, the at least two driving teeth 320 are distributed at intervals to form a redundant driving structure, so that even if one of the driving teeth 320 fails to mesh, the remaining driving teeth 320 can still maintain driving, the clamping strip 10 can be normally adjusted to the maximum tightening force, and the fault tolerance and use reliability of the device are improved.

[0057] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 20 includes a first mounting shell 24 and a second mounting shell 25, the first mounting shell 24 and the second mounting shell 25 form a mounting cavity 21, an opening 26 is formed between the first mounting shell 24 and the second mounting shell 25, the driving member 321 extends out of the opening 26, and the driving member 321 is movably connected with at least one of the first mounting shell 24 and the second mounting shell 25.

[0058] The first mounting shell 24 and the second mounting shell 25 can be separately processed and pre-assembled with partial components (for example, the first mounting shell 24 is pre-assembled with the locking member 31, and the second mounting shell 25 is pre-assembled with the pressing member 322), and then are spliced to form a complete mounting cavity 21, so as to ensure accurate alignment of internal components.

[0059] The spliced part of the first mounting shell 24 and the second mounting shell 25 is configured as an opening 26. The shape (for example, arc shape or rectangular shape) and size of the opening 26 are designed according to the shape and movement range of the actuating member 321. The opening 26 not only ensures that the actuating member 321 can smoothly extend and complete an operation action (for example, actuation or pressing), but also avoids dust and water vapor from entering the mounting cavity 21 due to the opening 26 being too large, and prevents the actuating member 321 from over-activity or deviation due to the absence of boundary limitation.

[0060] The actuating member 321 is movably connected to the first mounting shell 24 and the second mounting shell 25, for example, through a pin shaft for rotational connection with the first mounting shell 24 and through a sliding block for sliding connection with the second mounting shell 25. The actuating member 321 is provided with a stable movement fulcrum, so as to ensure that the actuating member 321 can only move along a preset track (for example, rotation around the pin shaft or sliding along the sliding block guide rail) when a user operates, thereby avoiding internal force transmission deviation due to uncontrolled movement direction and affecting the unlocking of the locking member 31 or the driving effect of the actuating teeth 320.

[0061] The split-shell design of the present embodiment can quickly open the mounting cavity 21 to replace damaged components (for example, replace the worn first reset member 323 and the deformed pressing member 322) by disassembling the connection structure of the two shells (for example, unscrewing the bolts or unfastening the buckles), without discarding the entire mounting seat 20, thereby reducing maintenance costs and resource waste. Moreover, the two shells can be accurately spliced to ensure the size accuracy of the opening 26, and the actuating member 321 is movably connected to the shells to provide stable support, so that the user has a smoother feeling when operating, and the operation error caused by shaking of the actuating member 321 can be avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0062] In some embodiments, at least one side of the actuating member 321 is provided with a limiting shaft 325, and a movable slot 27 is formed in the side wall of the first mounting shell 24 and / or the side wall of the second mounting shell 25. The limiting shaft 325 is accommodated in the movable slot 27 and can move along the extension direction of the movable slot 27 to limit the movement track of the actuating member 321.

[0063] The limiting shaft 325 is integrally formed or fixedly connected with the actuating member 321, can synchronously follow the displacement of the actuating member 321, and can transmit the constraint of the movable groove 27 to the whole actuating member 321, so that the actuating member 321 can move along the same preset track, and the local stress imbalance of the actuating member 321 is avoided. When the limiting shaft 325 is embedded in the movable groove 27, part of the radial force (such as centrifugal force when rotating or lateral force when sliding) generated by the user operating the actuating member 321 can be borne, the stress burden of the movable connection part (such as a pin shaft) between the actuating member 321 and the shell is reduced, and wear or deformation of the part due to long-term overload is avoided.

[0064] The extension direction, length, radius of curvature and other parameters of the movable groove 27 are matched with the preset track of the actuating member 321. For example, when the actuating member 321 needs to rotate, the movable groove 27 is provided in the form of an arc with a corresponding radian; when the actuating member 321 needs to slide, the movable groove 27 is provided in the form of a straight line. Through the rigid constraint of the groove wall, the movement range of the limiting shaft 325 is strictly limited, so that the actuating member 321 cannot exceed the preset operation stroke.

[0065] In the embodiment, when the user operates the actuating member 321, the limiting shaft 325 is limited in the movable groove 27 and can only move along the extension direction of the groove body, thereby driving the actuating member 321 to move along the preset track synchronously. The track deviation of the actuating member 321 can be controlled in a very small range, the gear teeth 320 can be precisely engaged, the pressing member 322 can precisely drive the locking member 31, and internal components can be prevented from being invalid due to track deviation.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The movable groove 27 includes a first groove segment 271 and a second groove segment 272, and the first groove segment 271 and the second groove segment 272 are connected at an included angle. When the limiting shaft 325 moves in the first groove segment 271, the gear teeth 320 can be clamped with the locking part 11 and push the clamping strip 10 to move relative to the mounting seat 20. When the limiting shaft 325 moves in the second groove segment 272, the actuating member 321 can abut against the locking member 31 and push the locking member 31 to separate from the locking part 11.

[0067] The extension direction of the first groove segment 271 is completely matched with the movement track of the actuating member 321 required for the gear teeth 320 to push the clamping strip 10, the movement of the actuating member 321 can be strictly limited when the limiting shaft 325 moves along the first groove segment 271, the actuating member 321 can only generate the movement for driving the gear teeth 320, the gear teeth 320 can be precisely clamped with the locking part 11, and the pushing force can be completely applied to the movement direction of the clamping strip 10, so that the gear teeth 320 are prevented from slipping or the clamping strip 10 is prevented from deviating due to movement direction deviation.

[0068] In addition, the first groove section 271 is arranged at an angle with the second groove section 272 to form physical track isolation with the unlocking function. When the limiting shaft 325 moves in the first groove section 271, the actuator 321 cannot reach the locking piece 31, ensuring that the locking piece 31 remains locked during driving of the clamping strip 10, preventing loosening caused by unlocking when the clamping strip 10 moves.

[0069] The extension direction of the second groove section 272 is adapted to the movement track required for the actuator 321 to push the locking piece 31 (e.g., extending perpendicular to the movement direction of the clamping strip 10). When the limiting shaft 325 moves along the second groove section 272, the movement direction of the actuator 321 switches to the locking piece 31, ensuring that it can accurately abut against the locking piece 31 and push it away from the locking portion 11, achieving unlocking.

[0070] The limiting shaft 325 can smoothly move between the first groove section 271 and the second groove section 272, driving the actuator 321 to quickly switch between the driving function and the unlocking function. The user can drive the clamping strip 10 by pushing the actuator 321 to make the limiting shaft 325 move along the first groove section 271, and can unlock by pushing the actuator 321 in the opposite direction to make the limiting shaft 325 switch to the second groove section 272, without the need for additional operation components, achieving single-component dual-function switching.

[0071] The embodiment completely isolates the tracks of the two functions through the angular arrangement of the two-section groove sections, enabling the limiting shaft 325 to trigger only a single function in the corresponding groove section, significantly reducing the probability of misoperation, especially suitable for complex scenarios such as outdoor single-handed operation. Moreover, the user can switch between the driving function and the unlocking function by pushing the limiting shaft 325 between different groove sections, with clear operation logic and obvious feedback from groove section switching, enabling the user to quickly determine the current function state through the hand feeling without the need for additional observation, improving operation convenience.

[0072] It should be noted that the limiting shaft 325 can maintain the current function state when moving in any groove section, such as stable driving in the first groove section 271 and stable unlocking in the second groove section 272, avoiding accidental switching of the groove section due to external vibration, ensuring stable function state.

[0073] In some embodiments, a positioning structure 28 is provided between the mounting seat 20 and the actuator 321. The positioning structure 28 includes a limiting groove 281 provided on one of the actuator 321 and the mounting seat 20, and a limiting protrusion 282 provided on the other of the actuator 321 and the mounting seat 20. The limiting protrusion 282 can be in clamping cooperation with the limiting groove 281 to position the actuator 321 relative to the mounting seat 20.

[0074] The limiting groove 281 and the limiting protrusion 282 are respectively arranged at corresponding positions of the mounting seat 20 and the actuating piece 321, and the shapes (such as arc shape, rectangular shape, trapezoidal shape) and sizes of the two are accurately matched; when the actuating piece 321 is operated to the target function position (such as the limiting shaft 325 is moved to the end of the second groove segment 272 to achieve complete unlocking, or is moved to the end of the first groove segment 271 to complete the driving of the clamping strip 10), the limiting protrusion 282 is embedded into the limiting groove 281 under the action of the operating force, and a mechanical clamping is formed; the clamping is limited by the contact friction force and the shape constraint of the concave-convex structure, so that the freedom of the actuating piece 321 is limited, and the actuating piece 321 is stably kept at the current function position; if the position needs to be switched, only an operating force greater than the clamping resistance needs to be applied, so that the limiting protrusion 282 is separated from the groove, and the actuating piece 321 is moved again.

[0075] According to the concave-convex clamping cooperation of the limiting protrusion 282 and the limiting groove 281, the actuating piece 321 can be stably fixed at the target position, is not easy to move even if subjected to external force interference, ensures complete unlocking and driving to the position, and reduces the shooting stability problem caused by out-of-control state.

[0076] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 30 further comprises a second reset piece 33, one end of the second reset piece 33 is connected with the mounting seat 20, the other end of the second reset piece 33 is connected with the locking piece 31, and the second reset piece 33 is used for applying an acting force to the locking piece 31 towards the clamping strip 10.

[0077] The one end of the second reset piece 33 is fixedly connected with the mounting seat 20 (to provide a stable stress support point), and the other end is connected with the locking piece 31, and the second reset piece 33 can continuously apply an acting force to the locking piece 31 towards the clamping strip 10 through its elastic deformation (such as the stretching of the compression spring or the contraction of the extension spring), so that the locking piece 31 always has a tendency to abut against the locking portion 11 in the non-unlocking state, the locking piece 31 is prevented from being separated from the locking portion 11 due to vibration or inclination, and the locking reliability of the locking piece 31 is improved.

[0078] In the unlocking process, the elastic force of the second reset piece 33 can offset part of the driving force of the actuating piece 321 to the locking piece 31, avoid the rigid collision between the locking piece 31 and the inner wall of the mounting seat 20 due to rapid movement, slow down the unlocking speed of the locking piece 31, and prevent the clamping strip 10 from accidentally sliding due to too fast unlocking.

[0079] When the actuating piece 321 drives the locking piece 31 to move away from the clamping strip 10 (in the unlocking process), the second reset piece 33 is elastically deformed due to the displacement of the locking piece 31 and stores elastic potential energy; when the unlocking force disappears (such as the user releases the actuating piece 321), the second reset piece 33 releases the elastic potential energy and applies an acting force to the locking piece 31 towards the clamping strip 10, so as to push the locking piece 31 to quickly reset and embed into the locking portion 11 of the clamping strip 10, and form stable locking.

[0080] In some embodiments, the clamping strip 10 comprises a first clamping section 12 and a second clamping section 13, one end of the first clamping section 12 is rotatably connected with one side of the mounting base 20, one end of the second clamping section 13 is rotatably connected with the first clamping section 12, the other end of the second clamping section 13 away from the first clamping section 12 is inserted into the limiting channel 22, and the locking part 11 is configured on the outer surface of the second clamping section 13.

[0081] Among them, one end of the first clamping section 12 is rotatably connected with the mounting base 20, providing a stable rotating fulcrum for the whole clamping strip 10, which can adjust the clamping angle with the mounting base 20 around the fulcrum to adapt to the initial clamping angle when the pipe is put in; the other end is rotatably connected with the second clamping section 13, forming a two-stage rotating fulcrum, which cooperates with the movement of the second clamping section 13 to realize fine adjustment of the clamping angle, avoiding the problem that the integrated clamping strip 10 cannot fit the special-shaped pipe due to fixed angle.

[0082] The other end of the second clamping section 13 away from the first clamping section 12 is inserted into the limiting channel 22, which can move along the channel to adjust the opening and closing size of the clamping opening 23, and the locking part 11 on the outer surface moves with it to provide a locking point for the locking part 31, realizing the synchronous adaptation of movement and locking; compared with the integrated clamping strip 10, its independent movement function can more flexibly control the tightening degree of the clamping opening 23 to adapt to pipe of different diameters.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first clamping section 12 rotates around the mounting base 20 to adjust the overall clamping angle, and the second clamping section 13 rotates around the first clamping section 12 to adjust the local fitting angle, both of which cooperatively form a two-degree-of-freedom adjustment, so that the inner side of the clamping strip 10 can completely fit the outer surface of the pipe, whether the pipe is circular, oval or polygonal, face contact clamping can be realized, and clamping stability is improved.

[0084] In some embodiments, the end of the actuator 321 exposed to the mounting cavity 21 is configured with a hand holding part 324.

[0085] Among them, the hand holding part 324 is designed to adapt to the operation habit of the hand, such as arc-shaped grooves and convex anti-slip patterns, which can increase the contact area with the fingers, disperse the local pressure during operation to a larger area, and avoid finger soreness caused by long-time operation (such as hand fatigue during frequent outdoor adjustment); at the same time, the surface can be provided with anti-slip material (such as rubber coating, textured convex), which can still maintain stable holding even if the hands are sweating or wearing gloves, preventing slipping.

[0086] The hand holding part 324 is rigidly connected with the main body of the actuator 321 (such as integrally formed, embedded and fixed), which can transmit the operating force applied by the hand to the main body of the actuator 321 without loss, and then to the internal components (such as the pressing part 322 and the locking part 31), avoiding the loss of force transmission caused by loose connection, and ensuring efficient execution of operations such as unlocking and driving the clamping strip 10.

[0087] The embodiment optimizes the force transmission path and holding stability during user operation by setting a structure conforming to the hand holding habit on the exposed end of the dial member 321. Specifically, the shape, size and surface morphology of the hand holding portion 324 are designed according to the human finger holding posture, which can fit the finger contact area (such as the finger pulp and finger joints), thereby reducing the local pressure during operation. When the user operates the dial member 321, the contact area between the hand and the hand holding portion 324 increases, so that the operating force can be uniformly transmitted to the main body of the dial member 321, thereby avoiding slipping or excessive local force due to the small contact area. At the same time, the structural morphology of the hand holding portion 324 can guide the user to form a preset operation posture (such as single-finger dialing and multi-finger holding), so as to ensure that the operating force is transmitted along the active track direction of the dial member 321, thereby improving the operation accuracy.

[0088] Preferably, the hand holding portion 324 adopts a circular ring structure and is integrally arranged with the dial member 321. On the one hand, the circular ring morphology fits the natural posture of the finger wrapped around the holding, which can further enlarge the contact area between the hand and the hand holding portion 324, thereby dispersing the operating pressure and forming a ring-shaped force closed loop, avoiding the force deviation during single direction operation, and ensuring that the operating force is uniformly transmitted along the active track (such as the track of the arc-shaped and linear active slot 27) of the dial member 321. On the other hand, the integral arrangement eliminates the connection gap between the hand holding portion 324 and the main body of the dial member 321, which not only improves the structural strength of the two, avoids loosening or breaking caused by long-term operation, but also simplifies the production and assembly process, reduces the part splicing error. At the same time, the hollow design of the circular ring structure can adapt to different thickness of fingers or operation scenes with thin gloves, and the annular edge can be provided with smooth chamfer and anti-slip texture, which takes into account the operation comfort and anti-slip effect, and further enhances the operation reliability in outdoor shooting, multi-device adjustment and other scenes.

[0089] In summary, the installation process of the mounting device 100 of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: During installation, first, the photographic support pipe to be fixed (such as a tripod leg pipe) is placed in the clamping opening 23 formed by the mounting seat 20 and the clamping strip 10. At this time, the second clamping section 13 of the clamping strip 10 can be initially moved along the limiting channel 22, and the rotation adjustment of the first clamping section 12 is matched, so that the inner side of the clamping strip 10 is initially attached to the surface of the pipe. Push the hand holding portion 324 to make the limiting shaft 325 switch to the first groove section 271, the dial gear 320 of the dial member 321 engages with the locking portion 11, drives the second clamping section 13 to move along the limiting channel 22 to the pipe direction, until the clamping strip 10 cannot continue to move (reach the maximum tightening force, the clamping opening 23 tightly attaches to the pipe). The limiting protrusion 282 is matched with the limiting groove 281 to fix the position of the dial member 321, and the locking installation of the pipe is completed.

[0090] The disassembly process of the mounting device 100 of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: When disassembling, first hold the hand holding part 324 of the poking part 321, overcome the clamping resistance of the positioning structure 28, push the limiting shaft 325 from the first slot section 271 to the second slot section 272 of the movable slot 27, and drive the force receiving part 313 of the locking part 31 through the pressing holder 322 to make the clamping part 312 disengage from the locking part 11 (unlocked state). At this time, the first clamping section 12 and the second clamping section 13 can be moved to expand the size of the clamping opening 23, and the fitting constraint on the pipe is released. After the clamping opening 23 is expanded to a size sufficient to take out the pipe, the photographic support pipe is directly taken out from the clamping opening 23, and the disassembly is completed.
