Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hot shoe connection components, in particular to a camera hot shoe interface component that facilitates the connection of camera accessories. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous evolution and widespread application of photography technology, the camera hot shoe interface has become one of the indispensable connection devices for photographers. This interface not only greatly enriches the photographer's shooting methods, but also significantly improves the texture and expression of photographic works by mounting a variety of accessories such as flash, fill light, light meter, viewfinder, etc. However, despite the increasing importance of the hot shoe interface in the field of photography, it is not difficult to find that some potential space of the camera has not been fully utilized in the current state of technology.
[0003] The space on the left and right sides and the front sides of traditional cameras has not been effectively utilized through the connection of the hot shoe mount. These undeveloped areas not only limit the photographer's flexibility in equipment mounting and configuration, but also limit the further expansion of camera functions. For example, in outdoor shooting or professional photography scenes, photographers may need to mount multiple devices at the same time, such as flash, microphone, fill light, etc. to cope with complex shooting needs. However, due to the position limitations of the hot shoe interface of traditional cameras, photographers may not be able to make full use of these devices, resulting in affected shooting efficiency and effects. Utility Model Content

Specific parts in specific drawings may be exaggerated to illustrate the relevant details or structures of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0019] See also Figure 1-4 , an embodiment provided by the utility model:
[0020] A camera hot shoe interface component for conveniently connecting camera accessories comprises a camera body 1, a first installation space 2 is arranged on the left and right sides of the camera body 1, and a second installation space 3 is arranged on the front sides of the camera body 1, a mounting groove 7 is opened at the top of the camera body 1, and a hot shoe seat 4 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 7, and a flash 6 is connected to one end of the hot shoe seat 4. By arranging the installation spaces on the left and right sides and the front sides of the camera body 1, the mounting points of the camera are greatly increased, thereby allowing the photographer to mount more accessories, such as a flash, a microphone, a fill light, etc., to meet the needs of different shooting scenes, and through the hot shoe seat 4 in the mounting groove 7 at the top, the photographer can conveniently connect standard hot shoe accessories such as the flash 6.
[0021] Furthermore, one end of the hot shoe mount 4 can also be connected to a special-shaped connecting plate 9, and one end of the special-shaped connecting plate 9 is connected to a flash 6. The introduction of the special-shaped connecting plate 9 enables the camera hot shoe interface assembly to be compatible with more photographic accessories with non-standard interfaces, and by connecting the special-shaped connecting plate 9, the photographer can flexibly adjust the installation position and angle of the flash 6 or other accessories as needed to obtain better shooting effects. This flexibility meets the photographer's demand for precise control of the position and angle of accessories in complex shooting environments.
[0022] Furthermore, both sides of the hot shoe mount 4 are provided with a snap-fit groove 5, and the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 5 is snap-fitted with the snap-fit plate 8, and the snap-fit plate 8 is fixedly mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting groove 7. The snap-fit connection makes the installation and removal of the hot shoe mount 4 very convenient. The photographer can quickly install or remove the hot shoe mount 4 to meet different shooting requirements, which improves work efficiency and ensures that the hot shoe mount 4 is firmly installed on the camera body. Even in a more intense operation or shooting environment, a stable connection state can be maintained to prevent the accessories from accidentally falling off.
[0023] Working principle: This camera hot shoe interface component is innovative and makes full use of the first installation space 2 on the left and right sides of the camera body 1 and the second installation space 3 on the front sides, providing multiple mounting points. A hot shoe mount 4 is installed in the mounting slot 7 at the top of the camera. The hot shoe mount can not only stably connect standard hot shoe accessories such as a flash 6, but also achieve stable installation through the mutual engagement of the snap-in slots 5 and the snap-in plates 8 on both sides. In order to adapt to accessories with non-standard interfaces, one end of the hot shoe mount 4 can also be connected to a special-shaped connecting plate 9 to achieve a more flexible connection. This design not only enhances the scalability and compatibility of the camera, but also improves the photographer's work efficiency and flexibility in different shooting scenarios.
