[0019] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. Simple structure, low cost, and easy operation: First, the interaction between the locking member and the inclined surface forms a dynamic dovetail groove structure, which makes the installation and removal process of the quick-release plate faster and more convenient. Users can complete the assembly through simple operations without any tools, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of use. Secondly, the design of the locking member also plays an extremely important insurance role. Under the action of the elastic reset member, the locking member automatically maintains upward pressure and presses tightly on the corresponding inclined surface of the first wedge-shaped platform. This automatic locking mechanism greatly enhances the safety of the entire device, and can effectively prevent the quick-release plate from accidentally falling off even in more violent movements or vibrations, thereby ensuring the safety of the equipment. Although the locking member has such an important dual function, the structure of the utility model still maintains extreme simplicity. This design not only avoids the need for complex insurance structures, but also greatly reduces production costs.

[0021] 2. Large force bearing area, uniform force bearing, high stability: The locking member is long (such as rod, strip, block, etc.). This long structure increases the force bearing area of ​​the locking member and the corresponding first wedge-shaped platform, facilitates uniform force application, increases locking force, improves stability, reduces friction and wear, increases the operational flexibility of the device, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0022] 3. High safety, dual-point operation, not easy to trigger by mistake: The elastic reset member is provided with two and is respectively arranged between the two ends of the locking member and the seat body. This layout not only ensures that the locking member can maintain uniform pressure distribution under any external force, thereby enhancing the overall stability and reliability, but also plays an important role in safety protection during user operation. This dual elastic reset member design requires the user to use dual action points to operate simultaneously when removing the quick-release plate. The user needs to hold both ends of the locking member at the same time and pull down at the same time to unlock. Compared with the traditional single unlocking point design, this operation method significantly increases the intentionality and safety of the operation, and significantly reduces the risk of equipment falling off due to misoperation. In addition, the use of dual elastic reset members also ensures that the locking member can quickly and automatically return to the initial position after unlocking, which provides convenience for re-locking, which not only increases the convenience of use, but also further ensures the stability and safety of the equipment after installation.

[0023] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0024] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the utility model;

[0025] Figure 2 It is an exploded schematic diagram of the utility model;

[0026] Figure 3 It is a sectional schematic diagram of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] 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.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3A quick-release and quick-install structure for photographic equipment shown in the figure includes a seat body 1, which is the main structure of the adapter seat, and a mounting groove 11 is designed on its upper surface for mounting a quick-release plate 2. The quick-release plate 2 is mounted in the mounting groove 11, and the quick-release plate 2 is the part directly connected to the photographic equipment, and first wedge-shaped platforms 21 are provided on opposite sides thereof. This design allows the quick-release plate 2 to be easily mounted on the seat body 1, while also ensuring stability and safety during the mounting and dismounting process. A side wall of the mounting groove 11 is designed with an inclined surface 111, which is inclined inward from bottom to top and can cooperate with the first wedge-shaped platform 21 on one side of the quick-release plate 2. The other opposite side wall of the mounting groove 11 is designed with a locking member 3 that can slide in and out of the mounting groove 11 and can press the corresponding first wedge-shaped platform 21 (the first wedge-shaped platform 21 on the other side of the quick-release plate 2) after sliding into the mounting groove 11, and the corresponding position of the seat body 1 is provided with a guide slot 112 that is inclined inward from bottom to top and allows the locking member 3 to slide therein. In other words, the locking member 3 arranged inside the guide slot 112 can slide up and down therein, and after sliding upward, it presses the corresponding first wedge-shaped platform 21, thereby locking the quick-release plate 2 to prevent it from falling off.

[0029] Of course, an elastic reset member 4 is provided between the locking member 3 and the seat body 1 to elastically press the locking member 3 toward the inside of the mounting groove 11. The elastic reset member 4 is preferably a spring. This design enables the locking member 3 to automatically return to the locking position when there is no external force, and keep pressing the corresponding first wedge-shaped platform 21, thereby ensuring the safe connection of the quick-release plate 2. This automatic reset feature not only improves the convenience of use, but also enhances the safety of the entire system.

[0030] During the installation of the quick-release plate 2, when one side of the quick-release plate 2 presses down the locking member 3, the locking member 3 slides down along the guide slot 112, so that the first wedge-shaped platform 21 on this side of the quick-release plate 2 passes over the locking member 3 and is then locked by it.

[0031] In the specific operation, the user first aligns the first wedge-shaped platform 21 on one side of the quick-release plate 2 with the inclined surface 111 on the base body 1 and inserts it. Since the first wedge-shaped platform 21 is designed to be wedge-shaped, it can slide smoothly into the inclined surface 111, laying the foundation for the next step. When the other side of the quick-release plate 2 is pressed down by the user, this force causes the locking member 3 to be pressed and slide down along the guide groove 112. In this process, the quick-release plate 2 can smoothly pass over the locking member 3.

[0032] At the same time, this pressing operation also causes the elastic reset member 4 to be compressed. The elastic reset member 4 works after the quick-release plate 2 passes over the locking member 3, and it returns to its original state, so that the locking member 3 is pressed against the inclined surface above the first wedge-shaped platform 21 again with the help of elastic force. Such automatic reset not only ensures the stability and safety of the quick-release plate 2, but also simplifies the installation steps, making the entire installation process faster and more efficient.

[0033] The utility model focuses on the design of the locking member 3, which has two functions:

[0034] First, the interaction between the locking member 3 and the inclined surface 111 forms a dynamic dovetail groove structure. This structural design not only makes the installation and removal process of the quick-release plate 2 faster and more convenient, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the assembly. The user can complete the assembly through simple operations without any tools, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of use.

[0035] Secondly, the design of the locking member 3 also plays an extremely important role as a safety device. Under the action of the elastic reset member 4, which is usually a spring, the locking member 3 automatically maintains an upward pressure and tightly presses the corresponding inclined surface of the first wedge-shaped platform 21. This automatic locking mechanism greatly enhances the safety of the entire device, and can effectively prevent the quick-release plate 2 from accidentally falling off even in more violent movements or vibrations, thereby ensuring the safety of the device.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that, although the locking member 3 has such an important dual function, the structure of the utility model still maintains extreme simplicity. This design not only avoids the need for a complex safety structure, but also reduces the production cost to a great extent. In summary, the utility model achieves a perfect combination of quick disassembly and assembly and safe locking through its unique locking member design, while maintaining a simple structure and low cost.

[0037] More specifically, there are two guide slots 112, and the locking member 3 is inserted into the two guide slots 112 at the same time. This double guide slot design not only enhances the mechanical strength of the entire adapter, but also ensures the stability and symmetry of the locking member 3 during movement, thereby avoiding the tilting or jamming phenomenon that may be caused by a single guide slot.

[0038] Specifically, the provision of the two guide slots 112 makes the movement of the locking member 3 more linear and smooth, which is essential for maintaining a stable connection between the quick-release plate 2 and the seat body 1. When the locking member 3 moves up to press the first wedge-shaped platform 21, the two-way support provided by the two guide slots 112 ensures that the force of the locking member 3 is evenly distributed, greatly improving the reliability and stability of the locking effect. This design not only reduces the risk of accidental falling off due to vibration or impact, but also allows users to experience a smoother and safer operating experience when installing or removing the quick-release plate 2. In addition, the dual guide slot design also simplifies the overall structure. Since the stability of the locking member 3 is guaranteed, the need for additional support or complex insurance mechanisms is reduced. This not only further reduces production costs, but also makes the maintenance and use of the adapter easier.

[0039] More specifically, in order to further increase safety, two elastic reset members 4 are provided and are respectively arranged between the two ends of the locking member 3 and the base 1. This layout not only ensures that the locking member 3 can maintain uniform pressure distribution under any external force, thereby enhancing the overall stability and reliability, but also plays an important role in safety protection during user operation.

[0040] Specifically, this dual elastic reset member design requires the user to use a dual-point operation when removing the quick release plate 2. The user needs to hold both ends of the locking member 3 at the same time (two fingers of one hand can be used to hook the two ends of the locking member 3 respectively), and pull down at the same time to unlock. Compared with the traditional single unlocking point design, this operation method significantly increases the intentionality and safety of the operation. In the traditional single unlocking design, it is easy to accidentally touch the unlocking mechanism and cause the device to fall off accidentally, especially when carrying or moving important equipment such as cameras or camcorders and other high-value items. This design defect may cause serious physical damage or even personal safety accidents.

[0041] By requiring the two points of action to be operated simultaneously, the utility model significantly reduces the risk of the device falling off due to misoperation. In addition, this design also prompts users to be more focused and cautious when operating, further improving the safety of the use process. In addition, the use of double elastic reset parts also ensures that the locking member 3 can quickly and automatically return to the initial position after unlocking, providing convenience for re-locking, which not only increases the convenience of use, but also further ensures the stability and safety of the device after installation.

[0042] More specifically, in order to facilitate holding, end covers 31 are provided at both ends of the locking member 3. In order to further improve the convenience of assembly and maintenance, the end cover 31 on at least one side is designed to be detachable.

[0043] In addition, anti-skid patterns 311 are designed on the outer wall of the end cap 31, which not only increase the aesthetics, but more importantly, improve safety and operability. The anti-skid patterns 311 increase the friction between the hand and the end cap 31, ensuring that the user can still firmly hold the locking member 3 in wet or sweaty conditions, thereby effectively avoiding possible slipping or mistakes during operation, and increasing safety and comfort during use.

[0044] It is worth noting that the locking member 3 is preferably in an elongated shape (e.g., rod-shaped, long strip-shaped, long block-shaped, etc.). This elongated structure increases the force-bearing area of ​​the locking member 3 and the corresponding first wedge-shaped platform 21, facilitates uniform force application, reduces friction and wear, increases the operational flexibility of the device, and prolongs the service life of the device.

[0045] More specifically, the base body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 12 for accommodating the elastic return member 4, one end of the receiving groove 12 is provided with an opening pointing to the locking member 3 so that the elastic return member 4 can extend out and press onto the locking member 3, and the other end of the receiving groove 12 faces outward and is provided with a fastener 121 for preventing the elastic return member 4 from escaping from the receiving groove 12.

[0046] The fastener 121 is preferably a top screw, which can facilitate the assembly of the elastic reset member 4 (spring). During assembly, the elastic reset member 4 is first inserted into the other end of the accommodating groove 12, and then the fastener 121 is screwed on, so as to be convenient for disassembly and maintenance.

[0047] More specifically, the other two opposite sides of the quick release plate 2 are also provided with a first wedge-shaped platform 21, so that the quick release plate 2 can still cooperate with the inclined surface 111 and the locking member 3 after being horizontally rotated 90 degrees. This design makes the quick release plate 2 more flexible and diverse, and can adapt to different installation requirements.

[0048] More specifically, the lower ends of the two opposite side walls of the seat body 1 are provided with a second wedge-shaped platform 13 that can cooperate with the dovetail groove of the pan head. This design enables the seat body 1 to be connected to equipment such as a pan head or a tripod, thereby increasing the stability and reliability of the entire device. In addition, a 3 / 8-inch screw is also provided at the center of the bottom surface of the seat body 1, which can also be used to connect with the pan head or a tripod, providing more installation options.

[0049] More specifically, the side wall of the base 1 is provided with an accessory slot 14, and a wrench 141 for rotating the camera screw is detachably connected to the accessory slot 14. This design facilitates the user to rotate the camera screw (the camera screw is located on the quick release plate, usually a 1 / 4 inch screw, which is the standard screw connecting the quick release plate and the camera) when disassembling the camera or video camera, without having to find additional tools, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of the operation.

[0050] More specifically, the side wall of the base 1 is provided with a magnet 142 located at the wrench 141 and capable of attracting the wrench 141. This design allows the wrench 141 to be conveniently stored on the base 1, avoiding the problem of the wrench being lost or inconvenient to carry. The adsorption force of the magnet 142 is strong enough to firmly fix the wrench 141, ensuring its stability during use.
