Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0037] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0039] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text is to include three parallel schemes, taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.
[0040] The utility model provides a clamping mechanism which can be applicable to supporting devices such as a mobile phone clamp or a photography tripod, but is not limited here.
[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of the utility model, the clamping mechanism includes a connecting member 10, a rotating assembly 20 and a fixing clamp 30; the connecting member 10 is suitable for connecting with the main body of the bracket; the rotating assembly 20 is rotatably arranged on the connecting member 10 along a first direction; the fixing clamp 30 is rotatably arranged on the rotating assembly 20 along a second direction, and the fixing clamp 30 is used to clamp the object to be supported; wherein the plane in the first direction is perpendicular to the plane in the second direction. It should be noted that the object to be supported can be an electronic product such as a mobile phone, a camera, a tablet, a video camera, or an object such as a book, which is not limited here.
[0042] In this embodiment, the connector 10 can be adaptively designed according to the structure of the bracket body to facilitate the connection with the bracket body. The shape of the connector 10 can be columnar, block-shaped or special-shaped structure, which is not limited here.
[0043] It can be understood that when the plane in the first direction is a plane parallel to the mobile phone or camera waiting to be supported, the second direction is the pitch direction, and the pitch angle can be adjusted by rotating the fixing clamp 30, and the horizontal support position and the vertical support position can be switched by rotating the rotating assembly 20. In this way, the clamping mechanism of the utility model realizes multi-angle support.
[0044] Preferably, the rotation range of the rotating assembly 20 can be ±90°, and the rotation range of the fixing clamp 30 can be ±90°. Figures 5 to 10As shown, by adopting such a design, the rotating component 20 can be rotated 90° in the counterclockwise direction and the clockwise direction, that is, the horizontal support position and the vertical support position are switched, and the fixed clamp 30 connected to the rotating component 20 can realize a 90° pitch action. The two work together to realize multiple angle shooting modes, such as: horizontal shooting mode, vertical shooting mode, downward shooting mode, upward shooting mode and side shooting mode, etc.
[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the rotating assembly 20 may include a rotating head 21, a first locking member 22 and a second locking member 23. The two ends of the rotating head 21 are respectively provided with a first rotating slot 21a and a second rotating slot 21b. The connecting member 10 is provided with two oppositely arranged plug-in arms, which are inserted into the first rotating slot 21a and locked with the rotating head 21 through the first locking member 22. The fixing clamp 30 is provided with two oppositely arranged connecting arms, which are inserted into the second rotating slot 21b and locked with the rotating head 21 through the second locking member 23. The first locking member 22 forms a first rotating shaft for the rotating head 21 to rotate in a first direction, and the second locking member 23 forms a second rotating shaft for the fixing clamp 30 to rotate in a second direction. In this way, while achieving multi-angle support, the structure can be simplified as much as possible, making the structure of the clamping mechanism more compact, which helps to save manufacturing costs and reduce volume.
[0046] In this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the first locking member 22 and the second locking member 23 can both be screws and nuts, and the screws serve as rotating shafts.
[0047] To ensure the reliability of the connection, and to ensure that the fixing clamp 30 and the rotating head 21 can rotate smoothly and maintain the current supporting state after releasing the hand, the stability of the support is ensured. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a spring sheet and a washer 24 may be sleeved on the screw, and the spring sheet and the washer 24 are clamped between the nut and the rotating head 21 .
[0048] Furthermore, the main reference Figure 3 The rotating assembly 20 may further include a plurality of decorative covers 25, which are fixed on the rotating head 21 and used to cover the first locking member 22 and the second locking member 23. In this embodiment, four decorative covers 25 are used, and the four decorative covers 25 are respectively covered on both ends of the two locking members to ensure the overall aesthetics.
[0049] In order to adapt to more kinds of objects to be supported and improve the applicability of the clamping mechanism, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2The fixing clamp 30 may include a back plate 31, a first clamp block 32 and a second clamp block 33 respectively arranged on the back plate 31, the first clamp block 32 and the second clamp block 33 may be relatively far away from or close to each other, and the back plate 31, the first clamp block 32 and the second clamp block 33 together form a clamping position for clamping the object to be supported.
[0050] In this embodiment, the first clamping block 32 is rotatably arranged on the back plate 31 through a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the two sides of the torsion spring are respectively in contact with the back plate 31 and the first clamping block 32. The advantage of such a setting is that, on the one hand, the object can be firmly clamped. On the other hand, when the main body of the bracket is a pull rod assembly, the connecting member 10 is connected to the inner rod of the pull rod assembly, and the clamping mechanism can be at least partially stored in the pull rod assembly to reduce the volume of the product after storage; in the process of storage (i.e., the process of pushing the clamping mechanism into the pull rod assembly), the first clamping block 32 is squeezed by the inner wall of the outer rod at the opening of the pull rod assembly, and the outer end of the first clamping block 32 rotates in the direction close to the back plate 31, and the first clamping block 32 gradually enters the outer rod, and then the back plate 31 is stored in the pull rod assembly; and in the process of pulling out the clamping mechanism, when the first clamping block 32 is pulled out from the outer rod, the squeezed end thereof automatically pops out and resets by relying on the torsion spring.
[0051] The utility model also proposes a bracket, which includes a main body and a clamping mechanism connected to the main body. The specific structure of the clamping mechanism refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the bracket proposed by the utility model includes all schemes of all embodiments of the above-mentioned clamping mechanism, it has at least the same technical effect as the clamping mechanism, which will not be elaborated here one by one.
[0052] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
