The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0024] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a sports camera bracket includes a base 1, a locking block 3, a screw rod 2, a nut 4 and a knob 5. One end of the base 1 is provided with a hinged portion 12, and the other end of the base 1 is provided with a connecting portion 11 for connecting to a handlebar. The locking block 3 can swing and position relative to the hinged portion 12, and is used to install a sports camera. The screw rod 2 passes through the hinged portion 12 and the locking block 3 to form a swing axis of the locking block 3. The nut 4 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 2, and is used to press or loosen the locking block 3 relative to the hinged portion 12. The knob 5 can be slidably sleeved on the tail section of the screw rod 2. A shift block 53 is provided on the side wall of the knob 5. A slot 51 is provided at one end of the knob 5 close to the nut 4. The slot 51 matches the shape of the nut 4. The knob 5 can slide along the screw rod 2 to make the slot 51 engage or disengage with the nut 4. When the slot 51 engages with the nut 4, the knob 5 can drive the nut 4 to tighten or loosen the locking block 3. When the slot 51 is separated from the nut 4, the knob 5 can rotate by itself, thereby changing the circumferential rotation angle of the shift block 53 relative to the nut 4.

[0027] Specifically, the screw 2 is an external hexagonal screw 2, and a countersunk hole adapted to the head of the screw 2 is provided on the side of the hinged portion 12 facing away from the locking block 3. The tip of the screw 2 passes through the countersunk hole so that its head is clamped in the countersunk hole to limit the rotation of the screw 2.

[0028] In one embodiment, the nut 4 may be a non-standard part, and the outer contour of its cross section may be any shape except a circle (not shown in the drawings).

[0029] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 11 may be a clamp arm, through which the user can fix the sports camera bracket on the handlebar or seat tube of the bicycle. The clamp arm can be purchased through market channels and is not explained in this embodiment (not shown in the drawings).

[0030] In one embodiment, a mounting shell for covering the action camera may be provided at one end of the mounting rod 6 away from the locking block 3. The mounting shell is formed by a bottom cover and a top cover. The bottom cover is fixedly arranged on the mounting rod 6. The top cover is hinged on one side of the bottom cover and can detachably cover the bottom cover. The user only needs to place the camera in the bottom cover and then flip the top cover so that it is fixedly covered with the bottom cover to fix the action camera on the mounting rod 6 (not shown in the drawings).

[0031] In one embodiment, at least one of the hinge portion 12 and the locking block 3 is provided with a rubber pad on the opposite side walls, so that when the opposite side walls of the two abut against each other, the rubber pad can increase the rotational friction and limit the relative rotation of the two (not shown in the drawings).

[0032] In this embodiment, the user can fix the action camera on the mounting rod 6, and then fix the connecting part 11 to the frame, and mount the action camera on the bicycle through the action camera bracket. Under normal conditions, the nut 4 abuts against the locking block 3, and cooperates with the hinge part 12 to clamp the locking block 3, and the rotation of the locking block 3 is limited by the friction resistance of the contact surface. At this time, the angle between the mounting rod 6 and the base 1 is fixed. When it is necessary to release the fastening of the nut 4, first slide the knob 5 to make the slot 51 engage with the nut 4, and then turn the knob 5. The nut 4 is driven to rotate by the knob 5, so that the nut 4 moves along the screw rod 2 in the direction away from the hinge part 12, so as to release the lock between the nut 4 and the hinge part 12. The locking block 3 is clamped, and the locking block 3 can rotate around the screw rod 2, so as to change the shooting angle of the action camera. During this process, when the knob 5 is interfered with by other equipment, it is only necessary to slide the knob 5 in the opposite direction to disengage the slot 51 from the nut 4, and then reverse the knob 5 to make the interfered end of the knob 5 away from other equipment, and then slide the knob 5 again to re-engage the slot 51 and the nut 4, and continue to use the knob 5 to drive the nut 4 to rotate, and repeat this cycle to overcome the rotation interference of other equipment on the knob 5, and drive the nut 4 to clamp the locking block 3 or release the clamping of the locking block 3, so that the user can adjust the angle between the mounting rod 6 and the base 1 to change the shooting angle of the action camera.

[0033] Furthermore, the hinged portion 12 and the locking block 3 are both provided with a serrated structure 13 on the opposite side walls, and the two serrated structures 13 can engage with each other. When the nut 4 squeezes the locking block 3 to make it abut against the hinged portion 12, the two serrated structures 13 will engage, thereby limiting the relative rotation between the locking block 3 and the hinged portion 12, increasing the rotation limit of the locking block 3, improving the connection stability between the mounting rod 6 and the base 1, and preventing the mounting rod 6 from swinging easily.

[0034] Furthermore, the hinged part 12 and the locking block 3 are both provided with a receiving groove 14 on the opposite side walls, and a separation spring 71 is provided between the hinged part 12 and the locking block 3. The separation spring 71 is sleeved on the screw rod 2, and one end of the separation spring 71 abuts against the bottom wall of one receiving groove 14, and the other end of the separation spring 71 abuts against the bottom wall of the other receiving groove 14. When the hinged part 12 abuts against the locking block 3, the separation spring 71 is received in the two receiving grooves 14 and deforms to store energy. When the nut 4 rotates to move toward the end of the screw rod 2 away from the hinged part 12, the separation spring 71 will release the energy and reset, and squeeze the locking block 3, driving the locking block 3 to slide along the screw rod 2 with the nut 4 away from the hinged part 12, so that the hinged part 12 and the locking block 3 are automatically separated, thereby improving the operating experience.

[0035] Furthermore, a gasket 8 is provided between the locking block 3 and the nut 4. The gasket 8 is sleeved on the screw 2. The nut 4 can squeeze the locking block 3 through the gasket 8. At the same time, the gasket 8 can replace the locking block 3 to directly contact the nut 4, thereby avoiding wear of the side wall of the locking block 3 when the nut 4 rotates, thereby extending the service life of the locking block 3.

[0036] Furthermore, a screw 21 is coaxially screwed to one end of the screw rod 2 away from the hinged portion 12, and a clamping spring 72 is sleeved on the screw 21, one end of the clamping spring 72 abuts against the head of the screw 21, and the other end of the clamping spring 72 abuts against the knob 5. When the user slides the knob 5 to disengage the slot 51 from the nut 4, the knob 5 and the head of the screw 21 will squeeze the clamping spring 72 together. At this time, the clamping spring 72 deforms and stores energy. When the user releases the control force on the knob 5, the clamping spring 72 will release the energy and reset, and drive the knob 5 to reset and slide, so that the slot 51 and the nut 4 are clamped again, so that after the user turns the adjustment knob 5, the knob 5 can automatically slide and reset, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0037] Furthermore, a spring-loaded cavity 52 is provided in the knob 5, which is open toward the end thereof facing away from the nut 4. The end of the screw rod 2 away from the hinged portion 12, the screw 21 and the snap-in spring 72 are all located in the spring-loaded cavity 52. ​​One end of the snap-in spring 72 abuts against the head of the screw 21, and the other end of the snap-in spring 72 abuts against the bottom wall of the spring-loaded cavity 52, so as to accommodate the screw 21 and the snap-in spring 72 in the spring-loaded cavity 52, thereby improving the appearance of the action camera bracket.

[0038] Furthermore, two shift blocks 53 are provided and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the knob 5. The user can use the shift blocks 53 as a lever arm to drive the knob 5 to rotate, so as to overcome the friction resistance between the nut 4 and the locking block 3 and reduce the difficulty of driving the nut 4 to rotate.

[0039] Furthermore, the sports camera bracket also includes a mounting rod 6, which is fixedly connected to one end of the locking block 3. A stud 61 is coaxially provided at one end of the mounting rod 6 away from the locking block 3. The stud 61 can be screwed together with the threaded hole on the bottom side of the sports camera so as to fix the sports camera on the mounting rod 6.

[0040] Furthermore, one end of the locking block 3 deviating from the rotation axis is bent toward the hinge 12 to form a limiting portion 31, and the mounting rod 6 is connected to the outer wall of the limiting portion 31. Taking the installation of the sports camera bracket on the handlebar of a bicycle as an example, when the nut 4 releases the squeeze on the locking block 3 and the mounting rod 6 rotates and swings down with the locking block 3, the limiting portion 31 can abut against the hinge 12 to limit the rotation range of the locking block 3, avoid the mounting rod 6 from swinging down excessively without meaning, and prevent the end of the mounting rod 6 away from the locking block 3 from colliding with a low foreign object (such as the ground).

[0041] Furthermore, the sports camera bracket also includes a cushion block 9, a through connecting hole 15 is provided at the connecting part 11, the axis of the connecting hole 15 is perpendicular to the axis of the screw 2, the cushion block 9 is arranged below the connecting part 11, the top of the cushion block 9 protrudes to form a connecting part 91, the connecting part 91 extends into the connecting hole 15, and is rotatably connected to the connecting hole 15, a through hole 92 that passes through the bottom wall of the cushion block 9 is provided at the top of the connecting part 91, the through hole 92 corresponds to the connecting hole 15, and an anti-slip pad is provided at the bottom of the cushion block 9.

[0042] Specifically, the base 1 is L-shaped, one end of which is a connecting portion 11 , and the other end of which is a hinge portion 12 .

[0043] In this embodiment, taking the installation of the action camera bracket on the handlebar of a bicycle as an example, when using it, the adapter portion 91 of the cushion block 9 can be first extended into the connecting hole 15, and then the connecting portion 11 and the cushion block 9 can be placed flat on the top of the handlebar, so that the connecting hole 15 and the through hole 92 are aligned with the screw hole on the top of the handlebar, and then the tip of the threaded nail is passed through the connecting hole 15 and the through hole 92 from top to bottom in sequence and then screwed into the screw hole, so that the base 1 and the cushion block 9 can be fixed on the top of the handlebar, and the action camera bracket can be installed on the frame for use. The anti-slip pad can increase the friction between the bottom of the cushion block 9 and the top of the handlebar, thereby improving the installation stability of the cushion block 9. When the user needs to rotate the base 1 around the adapter portion 91 to change the direction of the mounting rod 6, it is only necessary to reverse the corresponding threaded nail to release the squeezing of the head of the threaded nail on the connecting portion 11. At this time, the connecting portion 11 can rotate relative to the adapter portion 91 so as to adjust the shooting direction of the action camera in the horizontal direction.
