Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photographic auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a portable photography studio. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in commercial promotion and sales activities, high-quality product visual displays have a crucial impact on brand image building and consumer decisions. Especially in scenarios such as social media operations, physical store displays, restaurant menu promotions, food delivery platform presentations, and e-commerce team product detail page creation, professional-grade product display photos or videos are often required to highlight product texture, details, and overall visual effects. Traditionally, such professional shooting usually relies on professional photography studios, utilizing their studio lighting, large background systems, and professional photography studios. However, for a large number of small products (such as jewelry, cosmetics, food, and small electronic products), going to a professional photography studio for shooting is not only time-consuming and costly, but also often uneconomical and inconvenient due to the small size of the products and the high frequency of shooting.

[0003] If users attempt alternative solutions—such as inviting photography studio staff to bring equipment for on-site shooting, or shooting themselves—they often face problems with a lack of professional equipment and limited lighting environments. In particular, the lack of a professional still life photography studio makes it difficult to achieve uniform, controllable lighting effects and clean backgrounds in ordinary locations. This results in a significant gap between the final images and professional-grade works in terms of light and shadow layers, color reproduction, and background cleanliness, failing to meet the quality requirements of commercial advertising. Existing large, fixed photography studios are typically bulky, requiring dedicated space for installation and use. They are not only difficult to move and complex to deploy, but also have high purchase and maintenance costs. For small and medium-sized businesses, individual creators, or users who frequently need outdoor shooting, their practicality is low, limiting their application in diverse shooting scenarios.

[0004] To address these issues, several portable photography studio designs have emerged in the market. These products typically employ foldable, modular, or retractable structures, integrating the main studio unit, lighting, and background systems into portable containers such as suitcases or rolling cases. This facilitates easy carrying and transport, allowing for rapid setup of shooting environments in various locations. For example, patent document CN209103073U discloses a "small box-type photography studio" that integrates lighting and shooting space through a box-like structure; another patent document CN214540323U introduces an "automatic repositioning photography box," attempting to automate the adjustment of shooting angles. These portable designs, to some extent, lower the environmental barriers to professional shooting, enhancing the flexibility and convenience of filming.

[0005] However, existing portable photography studios still suffer from a common technical deficiency: during shooting, products are typically placed directly on the built-in platform or backdrop, resulting in a lack of three-dimensionality and levitation effect in the captured images, making it difficult to showcase products in mid-air. This issue particularly affects the presentation of the product's all-around form and spatial sense, limiting the realization of creative shooting techniques, such as simulating the dynamic visual effect of a product rotating in mid-air, showcasing details of the product's bottom, or creating scene compositions with spatial depth. Achieving a levitation effect requires post-processing of photos or videos using image processing software, undoubtedly increasing the workload and making it unsuitable for users without image processing skills. Therefore, how to effectively achieve product levitation shooting in a portable photography studio without significantly increasing the size and complexity of the equipment has become a pressing technical bottleneck that needs to be overcome for such products, and a key direction for improving their professional applicability and user experience. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments analyzed and obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable photography studio to solve the problems existing in the prior art. By opening the lid of the portable storage box, a portable photography studio can be formed that can be placed on a table or other object. By placing the item to be photographed on a transparent turntable, the light transmission of the transparent turntable can be used to make the transparent turntable disappear in the image during shooting, creating a suspended shooting effect. No post-processing such as image cutout is required. This not only ensures the portability of the photography studio, but also solves the problem that traditional portable photography studios cannot directly shoot photos of suspended products.

[0038] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 20As shown, this embodiment provides a portable photography studio, including a portable storage box. The portable storage box includes a box body 1 and a box lid 2, with the box lid 2 hinged to the box body 1. The maximum opening angle between the box lid 2 and the box body 1 is an obtuse angle, allowing the box lid 2 to unfold tilted onto the box body 1. The top plate of the opened box lid 2 and the bottom plate of the box body 1 together form a background board placement area, where a background board 11 can be laid flat on top of the background board placement area (the top plate of the box lid 2 and the bottom plate of the box body 1) as a shooting background. When closed, the box lid 2 and the box body 1 form a closed portable storage box. The background board 11 is typically made of flexible material and can be carried inside the portable storage box or carried separately. The background board 11 can be a white background board, a gray background board, a yellow background board, or a black background board, etc., depending on the actual situation. To facilitate switching between different background colors at any time, multiple background boards 11 of different colors can be prepared simultaneously. A transparent turntable 3 is provided inside the box body 1, suspended above the background board placement area, and the transparent turntable 3 is rotatable. The item to be photographed is placed on the transparent turntable 3. Because the turntable 3 is made of transparent material and allows light to pass through, during shooting, by adjusting the shooting lights, the transparent turntable 3 can be made to disappear from the image during the shooting process. At this time, only the product can be seen in the photo or video, achieving a suspended shooting effect. Driving the transparent turntable 3 to rotate can change the shooting angle of the subject, or shoot a 360-degree rotating product video. This ensures portability and solves the problem that traditional portable photography studios cannot directly shoot suspended product photos. In one embodiment, the top surface of the transparent turntable 3 is parallel to the bottom plate of the box 1.

[0040] In one embodiment, the size of the transparent turntable 3 should be set to meet the shooting needs of common small products on the market. For example, when shooting products smaller than 30cm, the diameter of the transparent turntable 3 should be at least greater than 30cm. Generally speaking, the height difference between the transparent turntable 3 and the base plate of the box 1 will affect the suspension effect. Therefore, in actual setting, it is necessary to pre-set according to the conventional size of small products being shot. For example, when shooting products smaller than 30cm, the height difference between the transparent turntable 3 and the base plate of the box 1 usually needs to be more than 12cm. Of course, the above parameters are only examples and references. They should be adjusted according to the actual situation and through continuous shooting tests before production to ensure that the suspension effect can be effectively formed in later use.

[0041] In one embodiment, the transparent turntable 3 is recommended to be made of a transparent material with a light transmittance of 90% or higher, such as transparent resin or transparent glass. Of course, a light transmittance of 90% or higher is beneficial for achieving the goal of the transparent turntable 3 disappearing during imaging. However, if the light transmittance is insufficient, it can also be achieved by increasing the intensity of the shooting lights, but this will increase the demand for light intensity. In other words, the higher the light transmittance, the lower the required light intensity, which also reduces the difficulty of setting up the lighting.

[0042] In one embodiment, the housing 1 also includes a background light stand 4. The background light stand 4 can be extended and retracted from the housing 1. The background light 5 on the extended background light stand 4 is located above the transparent turntable 3 and is used to illuminate the background panel 11. By integrating the background light stand 4 into the housing 1, the need for carrying or setting up the background light 5 is eliminated. This is especially beneficial for novice users, as it is difficult for them to procure all the lighting equipment themselves. Therefore, by integrating the background light 5 into the housing 1, it is ready to use immediately upon arrival, eliminating the need for professional photography knowledge to purchase the background light 5.

[0043] In one embodiment, the background light 5 illuminates the white background panel 11, while the product (the object to be photographed) is illuminated by external light. This separation of the two lighting environments increases the brightness of the white background panel and reduces the impact of the product's lighting, achieving a controllable exposure value. This allows for the capture of a 255 (grayscale) pure white background (standard pure white) during imaging. Correspondingly, the portable photography studio needs to be equipped with a white background panel 11. This can be placed in a portable storage box for transport, or it can be used separately and placed in the box when needed. When equipping the white background panel 11, a neutral white tone is recommended, neither too warm nor too cool. This helps the photographed product achieve a native 255 (grayscale) pure white background, making it user-friendly for beginners. No professional photography knowledge is required to capture a 255 (grayscale) pure white background, eliminating the need for retouching and addressing the pain points of users who lack photography and post-processing skills. A pure white background with 255 grayscale values ​​is the standard background required for common scenarios, such as training AI (artificial intelligence) to recognize images. Other colors, such as black and yellow, have deviations and are not used as reference standards, so they do not need to be considered.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bottom of the background light stand 4 is hinged within the housing 1 with an adjustable rotation angle. A background light 5 is mounted on the top of the background light stand 4, and the rotation axis of the background light stand 4 is parallel to the hinge axis of the housing cover 2. When shooting is required, the housing cover 2 is rotated open, and the background light 5 can be rotated out of the housing 1 by rotating the background light stand 4 to illuminate the background panel 11. By adjusting the rotation angle of the background light 5, different shooting needs can be met. This solves the problem that the background light 5 in traditional portable photography studios is fixed and cannot be adjusted as needed.

[0045] In one embodiment, the bottom of the background light holder 4 is hinged to the housing 1 via a light holder adjusting bolt 16. Loosening the nut of the light holder adjusting bolt 16 allows the background light holder 4 to rotate, while tightening the nut fixes the background light holder 4 at that rotation angle. Alternatively, the bottom of the background light holder 4 can also be hinged to the housing 1 via a damping pivot mechanism. This damping pivot mechanism provides damping force, allowing the background light holder 4 to be suspended at its rotation angle; that is, the background light holder 4 automatically stops and remains at the desired angle without requiring additional operation.

[0046] In one embodiment, the background light holder 4 is a gantry frame, and a U-shaped frame 6 is fixed on the crossbeam 403 of the gantry frame. The U-shaped opening of the U-shaped frame 6 faces the bottom of the gantry frame, and the background light 5 is hinged to the U-shaped frame 6 (inside the U-shaped opening) with adjustable rotation angle. By rotating the background light 5, the illumination angle of the background light 5 can be further adjusted, so that the angle adjusted by the background light holder 4 and the angle adjusted by the background light 5 itself complement each other. For example, when it is necessary for the background light 5 to always remain suspended, adjusting the angle using only the background light holder 4 may cause the illumination angle of the background light 5 to change accordingly, and the background light 5 may not be able to maintain a suspended state. In this case, the suspended illumination can be achieved by adjusting the angle of the background light 5.

[0047] In one embodiment, the background light 5 is hinged to the U-shaped frame 6 via light adjustment bolts. Specifically, the lampshade of the background light 5 has two light adjustment bolts threaded onto both sides, and these bolts are threaded onto the U-shaped frame 6. By loosening the nuts of the light adjustment bolts, the rotation angle of the background light 5 can be adjusted; by tightening the nuts, the background light 5 can be fixed at that rotation angle.

[0048] In one embodiment, the length of the support arm of the gantry frame (background light frame 4) is adjustable, which can adjust the height of the background light 5 to meet different lighting needs.

[0049] In one embodiment, the support arm of the gantry frame (background light frame 4) is a telescopic structure. The support arm of the gantry frame includes an outer arm 401 and an inner arm 402, with the inner arm 402 fitted inside the outer arm 401 to achieve telescopic movement. The outer arm 401 is hinged to the housing 1 via a light frame adjusting bolt 16. The outer arm 401 has bolt holes 404 spaced along its length. The inner arm 402 has a positioning hole 405, which is used to connect with one of the bolt holes 404 on the outer arm 401 via a light frame positioning bolt. By loosening the nut of the light frame positioning bolt and pulling it out, the positioning hole 405 of the inner arm 402 is adjusted to correspond with the different bolt holes 404 on the outer arm 401, thereby achieving telescopic movement of the support arm of the gantry frame (background light frame 4). After the alignment is completed, the positioning hole 405 and the bolt hole 404 are inserted into the light frame positioning bolt, and the nut of the light frame positioning bolt is tightened to lock the telescopic length of the support arm of the gantry frame (background light frame 4). Preferably, the crossbeam 403 and the inner arm 402 are welded together as one piece.

[0050] In one embodiment, the housing 1 also includes a diffuser frame, which can be extended and retracted from the housing 1. When extended, the diffuser film 9 on the diffuser frame can be laid flat above the transparent turntable 3. The diffuser film 9 eliminates hard light defects such as reflections from the subject, brings the exposure values ​​of the subject and background closer together, and modifies the light source quality to achieve natural shadow transitions. With the diffuser frame built into the housing 1, there is no need for an additional diffuser film 9, creating a more comprehensive portable photography studio.

[0051] In one embodiment, the diffuser frame includes a diffuser frame 7 and a flag frame 8. The diffuser frame 7 is hinged at an adjustable angle inside the housing 1, and the flag frame 8 is hinged at an adjustable angle onto the diffuser frame 7. The hinge axes of both the diffuser frame 7 and the flag frame 8 are parallel to the hinge axis of the housing cover 2. The diffuser film 9 is laid flat on the flag frame 8, allowing the diffuser film 9 to unfold like a flag and spread flat above the transparent turntable 3.

[0052] In one embodiment, the diffuser frame 7 is hinged to the housing 1 at an adjustable angle via a locking pivot mechanism 10. The locking pivot mechanism 10 includes a knob 1001, a first locking disc 1002, a second locking disc 1003, and a threaded shaft 1005. The first locking disc 1002 is fixedly connected to the diffuser frame 7 (e.g., by bolting or welding), and the second locking disc 1003 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 (e.g., by bolting or welding). Both the first locking disc 1002 and the second locking disc 1003 have a central hole, and meshing teeth 1004 are correspondingly provided on the facing surfaces of the first locking disc 1002 and the second locking disc 1003. The central hole of the second locking disc 1003 is fixedly connected to the threaded shaft 1005, and the central hole of the first locking disc 1002 is fitted onto the threaded shaft 1005. Knob 1001 is threaded onto threaded shaft 1005 and is used to engage the meshing teeth 1004 of the first locking disc 1002 with the meshing teeth 1004 of the second locking disc 1003. Rotating knob 1001 outwards moves it away from the first locking disc 1002 until the meshing teeth 1004 of the first locking disc 1002 disengage from the meshing teeth 1004 of the second locking disc 1003. At this point, the diffuser frame 7 can be rotated to adjust its rotation angle. After adjustment, rotating knob 1001 inwards brings it closer to the first locking disc 1002, pressing the first locking disc 1002 against the second locking disc 1003. The meshing teeth 1004 of the first and second locking discs 1002 re-engage, locking the diffuser frame 7 and housing 1 and maintaining the adjusted rotation angle of the diffuser frame 7.

[0053] In one embodiment, the flagpole frame 8 is hinged to the diffuser frame 7 in an adjustable angle via a flagpole adjusting bolt. Loosening the nut of the flagpole adjusting bolt allows the flagpole frame 8 to be rotated to adjust its angle, or to retract or unfold the flagpole frame 8. Tightening the nut of the flagpole adjusting bolt locks the flagpole frame 8 at that rotation angle.

[0054] In one embodiment, the transparent turntable 3 is a circular turntable. A support mechanism 12 is provided inside the housing 1, distributed circumferentially along the transparent turntable 3 to support it. The support mechanism 12 includes a vertical support wheel 1202 and a horizontal support wheel 1203. The vertical support wheel 1202 contacts the bottom edge of the transparent turntable 3, providing axial support. The horizontal support wheel 1203 contacts the side edge of the transparent turntable 3, providing radial support. This method of using the vertical support wheel 1202 and the horizontal support wheel 1203 to support the rotation of the transparent turntable 3 allows the support mechanism 12 to be moved away from the imaging area, making it disappear from the image and avoiding any impact on the product image. The vertical support wheel 1202 and the horizontal support wheel 1203 can be passive wheels, without their own power; the transparent turntable 3 is driven by a person or other mechanism. At least one of the vertical support wheel 1202 and the horizontal support wheel 1203 can be an active wheel, possessing its own power, for example, driven by a rotating motor. Of course, it can also support both the vertical wheel 1202 and the horizontal wheel 1203 as active wheels.

[0055] In one embodiment, the support mechanism 12 further includes a support base 1201, with a vertical support wheel 1202 and a horizontal support wheel 1203 rotatably connected to the support base 1201, and the support base 1201 fixedly connected (by welding or bolting, etc.) to the housing 1.

[0056] In one embodiment, the horizontal support wheel 1203 is a V-shaped wheel, and the edge side of the transparent turntable 3 abuts against the V-groove of the V-shaped wheel. An elastic washer 1204 is provided on the outer wheel surface of the vertical support wheel 1202, and the elastic washer 1204 contacts the bottom edge surface of the transparent turntable 3. The elastic washer 1204 achieves shock absorption, maintaining the stability of the transparent turntable 3's rotation.

[0057] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a drive mechanism 13 for driving the transparent turntable 3 to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic rotation of the transparent turntable 3. If the supporting vertical wheel 1202 and the supporting horizontal wheel 1203 are passive wheels, the transparent turntable 3 is completely driven by the drive mechanism 13. If the supporting vertical wheel 1202 and the supporting horizontal wheel 1203 are active wheels, the transparent turntable 3 is jointly driven by the drive mechanism 13, the supporting vertical wheel 1202, and the supporting horizontal wheel 1203.

[0058] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism 13 includes a belt 1301, a pulley 1302, and a drive motor 1303. The motor shaft of the drive motor 1303 is coaxially and fixedly connected to one of the pulleys 1302 to provide power. The pulley 1302 is used to press the belt 1301 against the edge side of the transparent turntable 3, and the pulley 1302 is used to drive the belt 1301 to rotate. As the belt 1301 rotates, the friction between the belt 1301 and the edge side of the transparent turntable 3 drives the transparent turntable 3 to rotate. This method of using the belt 1301 to adhere to the edge side of the transparent turntable 3 and using friction to drive the transparent turntable 3 to rotate allows the drive mechanism 13 to be kept away from the imaging area, making the drive mechanism 13 disappear from the imaging image and avoiding any impact on the product image.

[0059] In one embodiment, the number of pulleys 1302 is set as needed, typically three or more. The multiple pulleys 1302 can be arranged in a polygonal or arc-shaped configuration. A polygonal arrangement can be a triangular arrangement, a quadrilateral arrangement, etc. An arc-shaped arrangement allows the belt 1301 to form a curved surface, whose curved surface matches the curvature of the edge side of the transparent turntable 3, thereby increasing the contact area between the belt 130 and the edge side of the transparent turntable 3.

[0060] In one embodiment, a shielding cover 14 is provided inside the housing 1, and the shielding cover 14 is located on the transparent turntable 3. The shielding cover 14 includes a shielding area 1401 and a cutout area 1402. The shielding area 1401 is used to shield the drive mechanism 13 and the support mechanism 12, hiding the drive mechanism 13 and the support mechanism 12 so that they disappear in the imaging photograph or video. The cutout area 1402 is a cutout opening used to expose the transparent turntable 3.

[0061] In one embodiment, the support base 1201 of the support mechanism 12 is mounted on the bottom surface of the blocking area 1401 of the blocking cover plate 14. The drive motor 1303 of the drive mechanism 13 is mounted on the bottom surface of the blocking area 1401 of the blocking cover plate 14, wherein the pulley 1302 connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 1303 does not need to be connected to the bottom surface of the blocking area 1401 of the blocking cover plate 14. The remaining pulleys 1302 are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the blocking area 1401 of the blocking cover plate 14 via rotating shafts or bearings.

[0062] In one embodiment, the number of support mechanisms 12 is set as needed, but at least three sets of support mechanisms 12 are provided. When there are three sets of support mechanisms 12, they are arranged in a triangle on the bottom surface of the shielding area 1401 of the shielding cover 14. In one embodiment, one support mechanism 12 is close to the front wall of the housing 1, and the remaining two support mechanisms 12 are close to the left and right walls of the housing 1, respectively. The number of drive mechanisms 13 is set as needed, but at least one set of drive mechanisms 13 is provided. When there is only one set of drive mechanisms 13, it is recommended to set the drive mechanism 13 at the angle between the front wall and the side wall (left or right wall) of the housing 1. A cover plate mounting seat 105 is provided at the angle of the other side wall (right or left wall) to support the front end of the shielding cover 14 (shielding area 1401). The rear end of the cover plate 14 (shielding area 1401) is provided with a bending area 1403, which is supported and fixed to the bottom plate of the housing 1 like a support leg, keeping the cover plate 14 and the bottom plate of the housing 1 parallel.

[0063] In one embodiment, the background plate 11 is a flexible background plate.

[0064] In one embodiment, the background panel 11 can be a regular background panel 11, i.e., one that does not emit light itself. On the other hand, a self-illuminating background panel 11 can also be used, thereby eliminating the need for the installation of the background light 5. The self-illuminating background panel 11 can be achieved by installing a light source on the background panel 11, or by coating the background panel 11 with a fluorescent material to achieve self-illumination.

[0065] In one embodiment, the box body 1 is also provided with a baffle 204, which is connected to the box body 1 by a hinge 15. Specifically, one hinge piece of the hinge 15 is fixedly connected to the baffle 204 (welded or bolted), and the other hinge piece is fixedly connected to the box body 1 (welded or bolted). The hinge 15 is provided with a torsion spring, and the torsion arm of the torsion spring abuts against the two hinge pieces of the hinge 15 respectively, so that the hinge 15 remains open in its natural state. Thus, whether the box lid 2 is in the open or closed state, the baffle 204 is always in contact with the top plate of the box lid 2, thereby covering the gap between the box lid 2 and the box body 1. At the same time, when the box lid 2 is open, it will not affect the placement of the background plate 11 (the baffle 204 lies flat on the top plate of the box lid 2).

[0066] In one embodiment, a first reinforcing rib 104 is provided on the bottom plate of the box body 1, and a second reinforcing rib 203 is provided on the top plate of the box cover 2. The first reinforcing rib 104 and the second reinforcing rib 203 can strengthen the structural strength of the box body 1 and the box cover 2, and can also raise the background plate 11.

[0067] In one embodiment, the portable storage box is a rectangular box, that is, the box body 1 is a rectangular box body and the box lid 2 is a rectangular box lid.

[0068] In one embodiment, both front corners of the box body 1 and the box cover 2 are chamfered.

[0069] In one embodiment, a limiting groove 101 is provided on the side wall (left side wall and right side wall) of the box body 1, and a limiting part 201 is provided on the side wall (left side wall and right side wall) of the box cover 2. The limiting groove 101 is located on the rotation path of the limiting part 201 when the box cover 2 is opened, so as to limit and accommodate the limiting part 201, thereby limiting the opening and closing of the box cover 2 to achieve a preset maximum opening and closing angle (obtuse angle).

[0070] In one embodiment, the side walls (left and right sides) of the lid 2 are provided with guide grooves 202, and the left and right sides of the box body 1 are provided with guide portions 102. The guide grooves 202 are arc-shaped grooves, and the guide portions 102 fit into the arc-shaped grooves to guide the rotation path of the lid 2.

[0071] In one embodiment, the side walls (left and right side walls) of the case 1 are also provided with handle slots 103, making it convenient to lift the portable storage case by hand.

[0072] In one embodiment, the rear wall of the lid 2 and the rear wall of the body 1 are hinged together by the lamp holder adjusting bolt 16. That is, the background light holder 4, the lid 2 and the body 1 are hinged together by the lamp holder adjusting bolt 16.

[0073] In one embodiment, a latch is also included. The fixed part of the latch is installed on the outer wall of the front wall of the box 1, and the movable part of the latch is installed on the outer wall of the front wall of the lid 2, which can lock the box 1 and the lid 2. The form of the latch can be set as needed, such as a simple latch for easy and quick opening. Alternatively, a combination lock, fingerprint lock, or multi-functional lock can be used to improve security.

[0074] In one embodiment, a handle may also be provided on the front wall of the box 1, so that the portable storage box can be carried by hand like a suitcase.

[0075] In one embodiment, a start switch is provided on the top surface of the blocking area 1401 of the cover plate 14 for turning the drive motor 1303 on and off.

[0076] In one embodiment, a storage battery is installed on the bottom surface of the shielding area 1401 of the shielding cover 14 to power the drive motor 1303. A charging port for connecting to the storage battery is provided on the side wall of the housing 1.
