[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. The utility model can realize quick disassembly and assembly. The combined use of the plug hole and the plug connector allows the mounting base to be fixed to the support rod through a simple insertion action, which is easy to operate. The through hole in the locking member allows the end of the plug connector to quickly pass through its larger upper part, while being able to effectively lock the end in the smaller lower part. This structural design simplifies the locking and release mechanism of the plug connector, allowing the user to quickly connect or disconnect the mounting base from the support rod without the assistance of tools. Through a simple pressing action, the through hole makes the installation or uninstallation process extremely fast and efficient, greatly improving the convenience of user operation.

Through the conical or wedge-shaped design of the end and the inner end of the plug hole, when the plug connector passes through the through hole and is inserted into the plug hole, the end will gradually expand the contact area with the plug hole due to its shape, thereby achieving a more solid locking. The mutually matching inclined surface design between the locking piece and the plug connector provides additional safety: when the locking piece is released and automatically reset, the interaction between the inclined surfaces will generate a force toward the inside of the plug hole, further strengthening the locking of the plug connector. This design not only ensures the stability of the connection, but also prevents the connection from accidentally loosening even under strong vibration or impact by increasing the friction.

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 The quick-install and disassemble photographic equipment adapter bracket shown greatly simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the photographic equipment and improves the user's operational convenience and efficiency in changing shooting environments.

[0030] The adapter bracket includes a support rod 1, a mounting seat 2 for mounting photographic equipment (such as a camera, a video camera or a telescope, etc.), and a locking assembly 3 for locking the mounting seat 2 on the support rod 1. The mounting seat 2 is provided with a plug connector 21, and the support rod 1 is provided with a plug hole 11 for the plug connector 21 to be inserted. The plug connector 21 is designed to be conveniently and quickly docked with the plug hole 11 on the support rod 1, reducing the operator's dependence on tools and achieving manual quick installation. The coordinated use of the plug hole 11 and the plug connector 21 allows the mounting seat 2 to be fixed on the support rod 1 by a simple insertion action, which is easy to operate.

[0031] The support rod 1 is also provided with a lock hole 12 perpendicularly intersecting the plug hole 11. The locking assembly 3 includes a locking member 31, the design of which is the core part of the utility model, which can move up and down along the lock hole 12 and can realize the rapid clamping and release of the plug connector 21. The utility model can use the locking member 31 to quickly clamp and release the plug connector 21, so as to realize the rapid disassembly and assembly of photographic equipment.

[0032] A limiting structure for limiting the separation of the locking member 31 and the plug connector 21 is provided between the locking member 31 and the support rod 1. The main function of the limiting structure is to enable the locking member 31 to keep locking the plug connector 21, and only manual intervention can unlock the lock, thereby preventing the locking member 31 and the plug connector 21 from separating autonomously. The limiting structure prevents accidental separation that may occur during use, thereby ensuring the safety of the photographic equipment. The limiting structure will be described in detail later. In addition, in addition to the elastic reset member 33 (such as a spring) described below, the limiting structure may also be other similar structures, such as screws that can fix the locking member 31 to the support rod 1.

[0033] More specifically, the locking assembly 3 is as follows: a positioning groove 211 is provided in the middle of the plug connector 21, and the free end on the right side of the plug connector 21 is a terminal 212. The locking member 31 is provided with a through hole 311 for the plug connector 21 to pass through. The size of the through hole 311 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the outer diameter of the terminal 212 is smaller than the size of the upper part of the through hole 311 and larger than the size of the lower part of the through hole 311. This design allows the upper part of the through hole to accommodate the terminal 212 to pass through, while the lower part of the through hole is smaller in size, preventing the terminal 212 from passing through, thereby achieving a locking effect.

[0034] When the mounting base 2 needs to be quickly disassembled, the user can conveniently operate the locking member 31. Specifically, the locking member 31 is pressed downward, so that the spacious upper portion of the through hole 311 is aligned with the positioning groove 211 of the plug connector 21, so that the terminal 212 can pass through the larger through hole portion. Subsequently, the plug connector 21 can be smoothly pulled out of the plug hole 11, thereby completing the quick disassembly process.

[0035] When the mounting base 2 needs to be installed, the process is reversed. First, the user needs to press the locking member 31 downwards, and then insert the plug connector 21 into the plug hole 11. After the plug connector is fully inserted, the user can release the locking member 31. At this time, the elastic reset member 33 (which is another important part of the locking mechanism, which is usually a spring structure responsible for pushing the locking member back to its original position) will automatically push the locking member 31 upwards. As the locking member rises, the end 212 will be stuck by the smaller lower part of the through hole 311, and thus cannot be disengaged, thereby completing the quick installation process of the mounting base 2.

[0036] In a more preferred solution, when inserting the plug connector 21, there is no need to manually press the locking member 31 downwards, as the plug connector 21 will automatically push open the locking member 31. This structure will be described in detail later.

[0037] The utility model realizes the quick locking and unlocking of the plug connector 21 of the mounting base 2 by the up and down movement of the locking member 31. Such a design not only ensures the stability of the assembly during use, but also improves the efficiency, so that the user can quickly complete the installation and removal of the assembly by manual operation without any tools.

[0038] More specifically, the first guiding slope 213 is provided on one side (right side) of the positioning groove 211 close to the end 212, and its purpose is to provide a smooth guiding path when the plug connector 21 is inserted or removed. The second guiding slope 312 is provided on one side (right side) of the through hole 311 close to the end 212. The angle of the second guiding slope 312 matches the first guiding slope 213, so that when the two are in contact, a mutually coordinated guiding effect can be achieved.

[0039] When installing the mounting base 2, the plug connector 21 first passes through the through hole 311, aligns with and inserts into the plug hole 11. Subsequently, when the locking member 31 is released and pushed upward by the elastic reset member 33, the second guide slope 312 begins to contact and press the first guide slope 213. Since the two slopes are designed to cooperate with each other, this contact will generate a force toward the inside of the plug hole 11. This force will cause the plug connector 21 to gradually move into the plug hole 11 along the guidance of the guide slope until it is tightly installed therein.

[0040] This inclined surface design not only provides a smooth guiding process physically, but also reduces the wear of the contact between the plug connector 21 and the locking member 31 by increasing the contact area, thereby extending the service life of the entire locking mechanism. In addition, this design also plays a self-locking role, ensuring that the plug connector 21 is not easily separated from the plug hole 11 under the action of external force, thereby improving the stability and safety of the installation. In terms of operation, this self-guiding and self-locking design also allows users to easily complete the installation or removal process without the need for additional tools or force, greatly improving the convenience of operation.

[0041] More specifically, the shape of the terminal 212 and the inner end of the plug hole 11 is preferably conical or wedge-shaped. The purpose of this shape design is to achieve an accurate and tight fit between the plug connector 21 and the plug hole 11. Specifically, the design of the terminal 212 adopts a conical or wedge-shaped structure, which is intended to provide a gradually shrinking profile. This design allows the terminal to gradually increase the contact area between the two when it is inserted into the plug hole 11, thereby achieving a solid locking effect. Such a structure not only ensures the stability of the connection, but also the tightness of the connection will gradually increase as the plug connector 21 is further inserted. The inner end of the plug hole 11 also adopts a conical or wedge-shaped design that matches the terminal 212. This means that the plug hole also has a corresponding shrinking internal shape, which can ensure that when the terminal 212 is inserted, the two can achieve a gapless fit. As the plug connector 21 moves into the plug hole 11, the conical or wedge-shaped part of the terminal 212 gradually forms a tight fit with the corresponding shape of the inner end of the plug hole 11, and finally a very compact overall structure is achieved.

[0042] This conical or wedge-shaped design not only facilitates the guiding and positioning process of the plug connector 21, but also physically provides a self-locking mechanism. As the plug connector goes deeper, the friction between the two matching conical or wedge-shaped structures will continue to increase, and this friction is sufficient to resist accidental separation caused by vibration or external forces. Therefore, even in an environment of strong vibration or impact, the connection between the plug connector 21 and the plug hole 11 can remain stable.

[0043] In addition, this shape design makes it relatively easy to withdraw the plug connector from the plug hole by only properly lifting the locking member 31 during the disassembly process to reduce the friction between the end 212 and the inner end of the plug hole 11. This feature ensures the convenience of the assembly and disassembly process, while also improving the reliability and safety of the overall structure.

[0044] As mentioned above, the limiting structure is intended to control the movement of the locking member 31 to ensure that it can lock or release the plug connector 21 when needed. The limiting structure includes a button cap 32 disposed at the upper end of the locking member 31, and an elastic reset member 33 disposed between the button cap 32 and the support rod 1 and elastically pressing the button cap 32 upward. An elastic reset member 33 is provided between the button cap 32 and the support rod 1, which is usually a spring, and its function is to maintain a continuous upward force to press the button cap 32 upward. This design means that when there is no external force, the elastic reset member 33 will automatically keep the locking member 31 in the locked position.

[0045] When the user presses the button cap 32, the elastic reset member 33 is compressed, allowing the locking member 31 to move downward along the support rod 1, thereby releasing the plug connector 21. Once the button cap is released, the spring force automatically pushes the button cap 32 and the locking member 31 back to the original locking position. This automatic reset mechanism simplifies the locking and unlocking process, reduces the complexity of user operations, and improves the reliability and service life of the overall structure.

[0046] More specifically, the locking member 31 is provided with a strip hole 313 arranged in the up-down direction, and the support rod 1 is provided with a limit pin 34 inserted into the strip hole 313 to limit the up-down sliding of the locking member 31. The limit pin 34 is fixed on the support rod 1, and as a fixed point, it can provide a smooth guide through the inner wall of the strip hole 313 during the up-down sliding process of the locking member 31. At the same time, the upper and lower end points of the strip hole 313 define the maximum sliding range of the locking member 31.

[0047] More specifically, a fourth guide slope 314 is provided on the left side of the through hole 311, and the end of the terminal 212 is provided with a chamfer. During the process of inserting the plug connector 21 into the plug hole 11, the chamfer at the end of the terminal 212 interacts with the fourth guide slope 314 so that the terminal 212 automatically pushes open the locking piece 31 and is inserted into the inner end of the plug hole 11.

[0048] When the plug connector 21 is gradually inserted into the plug hole 11, the chamfer at the end of the terminal 212 first contacts the fourth guide inclined surface 314. This contact causes the locking member 31 to move downward, because the two inclined surfaces interact to generate a force direction, so that the locking member 31 is passively pushed downward to accommodate the plug connector 21 passing through. In this process, the plug connector 21 can automatically push the locking member 31 without external force, thereby realizing the automatic locking of the plug connector.

[0049] In addition, a third guiding bevel 214 is provided on the left side of the positioning groove 211. Under the joint guiding action of the cooperation between the third guiding bevel 214 and the fourth guiding bevel 314, and the cooperation between the second guiding bevel 312 and the first guiding bevel 213, the lower side wall of the through hole 311 is just stuck in the middle of the positioning groove 211.

[0050] When the plug connector 21 is further inserted, the through hole 311 of the locking member 31 will be precisely aligned with the positioning groove 211 under the cooperation of the third guiding slope 214 and the fourth guiding slope 314 and the joint guiding action of the second guiding slope 312 on the through hole 311 and the first guiding slope 213 on the plug connector 21. This precise alignment ensures that the lower side wall of the through hole 311 can be exactly inserted into the middle of the positioning groove 211, thereby achieving a stable connection between the plug connector 21 and the plug hole 11.

[0051] More specifically, the mounting base 2 is provided with a connecting screw 22 that can be connected to the photographic equipment. The connecting screw 22 is usually a 3 / 8 inch screw, which can be connected to the corresponding threaded hole of the photographic equipment (such as a camera, a video camera or a telescope). When in use, the mounting base 2 is first connected to the photographic equipment, and then the mounting base 2 is quickly connected to the plug hole 11 on the support rod 1.

[0052] Preferably, the mounting seat 2 is disc-shaped, and anti-slip patterns are provided on its side.

[0053] Preferably, an anti-rotation screw is provided on the mounting seat 2.

[0054] More specifically, a screw slot 215 that can be used in conjunction with a screwdriver or a wrench is provided on the free end surface of the plug connector 21. The screw slot 215 is preferably a hexagonal slot.

[0055] More specifically, the support rod 1 is provided with an adapter 13 that can be mounted on a tripod or a pan head.
