[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0034] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative positional relationship or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "below", "above", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a position flip or a posture change or a motion state change, then these directional indications also change accordingly, for example: an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features". Therefore, the example term "below..." may include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0035] In order to solve the technical problem that the device bracket in the prior art cannot meet the requirements of coordinated shooting of mobile phones and cameras, the present application provides a photography auxiliary bracket, which can not only support and fix the mobile phone alone, but also fix the mobile phone and the camera, so that the user can support one of the mobile phone and the camera to achieve coordinated shooting of the mobile phone and the camera, thereby meeting the diverse usage needs of users.

[0036] The present application embodiment provides a photography auxiliary bracket, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the photography auxiliary bracket mainly includes a base assembly, a fixing assembly and a support assembly. The base assembly can be supported on a preset plane such as a horizontal desktop; the fixing assembly is used to install and fix the mobile phone; the support assembly is connected between the fixing assembly and the base assembly, and cooperates with the base assembly to support the mobile phone installed and fixed by the fixing assembly. In particular, one of the base assembly and the support assembly is provided with a camera fixing part, so that the photography auxiliary bracket can be connected and fixed to the camera through the camera fixing part, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the mobile phone and the camera. When shooting, the user only needs to support or hold one of the mobile phone and the camera, and the other is suspended and fixed / supported by the photography auxiliary bracket, which is convenient for the user to simultaneously control the mobile phone and the camera for coordinated shooting.

[0037] In addition, the photography auxiliary bracket can also support and fix the mobile phone separately, making it convenient to use the mobile phone for shooting or watching movies. When supporting the mobile phone separately, the mobile phone is installed and fixed by the fixing component, and the mobile phone installed on the fixing component is supported by the base component and the supporting component. The base component can be placed on a preset plane such as a horizontal table or the ground.

[0038] The fixing component mainly plays the role of installing and fixing the mobile phone. In the specific implementation, the fixing component can adopt a clamping structure such as a mobile phone clamp, or a magnetic structure, and this application does not limit this. Generally speaking, the fixing component can not only meet the installation and fixation of the mobile phone, but also meet the installation and fixation of portable mobile terminals such as tablets. In the preferred embodiment below, this application will take the fixing component using a magnetic structure as an example to introduce the working state of the photography auxiliary bracket.

[0039] In some embodiments, the fixing component adopts a magnetic ring 17, the first end of the supporting component is connected to a side edge of the magnetic ring 17 by flipping, the second end of the supporting component is connected to the base component by flipping, and the first end and the second end of the supporting component are arranged far away from each other. The magnetic ring 17 mainly includes an annular shell and a magnet member arranged in the annular shell; the magnet member can be an annular magnet, or a plurality of rectangular magnets evenly arranged along the circumference of the annular shell. The magnetic ring 17 can be adsorbed on the back of the mobile phone to fix the mobile phone, and the setting mode in which the two ends of the supporting component are respectively connected to the magnetic ring 17 and the base component by flipping facilitates the adjustment of the support height and angle of the mobile phone. The fixing component adopts the magnetic ring 17, which can not only fix the mobile phone vertically for vertical shooting, but also fix the mobile phone horizontally for horizontal shooting.

[0040] In addition, the first end of the support component is flipped and connected to the magnetic ring 17 in such a way that the support component can be flipped toward the magnetic ring 17 and attached to the side of the magnetic ring 17 that is away from its adsorption side. The adsorption side of the magnetic ring 17 referred to here refers to the side of the magnetic ring 17 that is used to adhere to the mobile phone. The second end of the support component is flipped and connected to the base component in such a way that the base component can be flipped toward the support component and attached to the side of the support component that faces the magnetic ring 17. When the base component is flipped and attached to the support component, and the support component is flipped and attached to the magnetic ring 17, the base component is at least partially accommodated in the inner circumference of the magnetic ring 17, thereby realizing the miniaturization of the photography auxiliary bracket after folding, greatly reducing the volume of the photography auxiliary bracket after folding, and the folded state is as shown in FIG. Figure 7 shown.

[0041] Further reading Figures 1 to 6In order to improve the fit between the support assembly and the magnetic ring 17, a hinged support portion 16 is convexly provided on the side of the magnetic ring 17 away from its adsorption side, and a hinge hole is provided on the hinged support portion 16. The first end of the support assembly is connected to the magnetic ring 17 through the hinge shaft and the hinge hole of the hinged support portion 16 to achieve flip connection with the magnetic ring 17, thereby ensuring that the support assembly can completely fit the side of the magnetic ring 17 away from the adsorption side after flipping. Generally speaking, the hinged support portion 16 is usually integrally formed with the annular shell of the magnetic ring 17.

[0042] In some embodiments, the base assembly includes a connecting base plate 11 and a supporting base 10, wherein the connecting base plate 11 is parallel to the bottom surface of the supporting base 10 and connected to the top of the supporting base 10. The supporting assembly includes at least a first bracket 15, which is generally a plate-shaped structure, wherein the first end of the first bracket 15 in the length direction is flipped and connected to the magnetic ring 17 by means of a hinge shaft and a hinge support portion 16, and the second end of the first bracket 15 in the length direction is flipped and connected to one end of the connecting base plate 11. A receiving groove is provided in the center of the first bracket 15 in the width direction or is hollowed out to form a receiving groove, so that when the base assembly is flipped toward the supporting assembly, the connecting base plate 11 is just received in the receiving groove of the first bracket 15.

[0043] The connecting base plate 11 is preferably connected to the top of the supporting base 10 by rotation. When the supporting base 10 is placed and fixed horizontally, the direction of the first bracket 15, the magnetic ring 17 and the mobile phone fixed by the magnetic ring 17 can be adjusted by rotating the connecting base plate 11 relative to the supporting base 10. By rotating the first bracket 15 relative to the connecting base plate 11, the angle between the first bracket 15 and the connecting base plate 11 can be easily adjusted, thereby adjusting the support height of the first bracket 15 to the magnetic ring 17 and the mobile phone. By rotating the magnetic ring 17 relative to the first bracket 15, the shooting angle of the mobile phone can be adjusted to switch between the states of overhead shooting, overhead shooting or horizontal shooting.

[0044] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a second bracket 13, and the second bracket 13 is arranged between the first bracket 15 and the connecting bottom plate 11. In particular, the first end of the second bracket 13 is flipped and connected to the connecting bottom plate 11, and the camera fixing part includes a cold shoe 14 arranged at the second end of the second bracket 13, that is, the camera fixing part is arranged on the support assembly. The photography auxiliary bracket can be connected and fixed to the camera through the cold shoe 14 and the cold shoe slot on the camera, and the mobile phone is supported and fixed above the camera by the photography auxiliary bracket. The user only needs to support and operate the camera and operate the mobile phone for coordinated shooting when necessary.

[0045] Specifically, the first end of the connecting base plate 11 is rotationally connected to the second end of the first bracket 15, and the first end of the second bracket 13 is rotationally connected to the portion of the connecting base plate 11 close to the first end. The rotational connection between the second bracket 13 and the connecting base plate 11 should ensure that the second bracket 13 can be rotated to fit the connecting base plate 11, and the cold shoe 14 is arranged at the second end of the second bracket 13 and extends toward one side of the connecting base plate 11. In general, the extension direction of the cold shoe 14 is substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the second bracket 13. When the second bracket 13 is flipped to fit the connecting base plate 11, the cold shoe 14 just fits on the side of the second end of the connecting base plate 11. In order to reduce the wear between the cold shoe 14 and the second end of the connecting base plate 11, an elastic pad 12 may be provided at the second end of the connecting base plate 11, and the cold shoe 14 and the elastic pad 12 are interference fit. When the second bracket 13 is flipped and fitted toward the connecting base plate 11, the cold shoe 14 squeezes the elastic pad 12 to deform. When the cold shoe 14 is fully buckled on the second end of the connecting base plate 11, the restoring elastic force of the elastic pad 12 makes it elastically abut against the cold shoe 14, thereby locking the cold shoe 14 and ensuring that the second bracket 13 is in a folded state fitted to the connecting base plate 11.

[0046] When the second bracket 13 is in a folded state in contact with the connecting base plate 11, the connecting base plate 11 and the supporting base 10 are flipped toward the first bracket 15. When the connecting base plate 11 is stored in the receiving groove, the second bracket 13 is driven to be stored in the receiving groove of the first bracket 15 at the same time, thereby significantly reducing the volume of the auxiliary photography bracket. In order to facilitate the connecting base plate 11 and the second bracket 13 to flip toward the receiving groove of the first bracket 15 and be completely stored in the receiving groove, the cross-sectional dimension of the supporting base 10 is set to gradually decrease from the direction away from the connecting base plate 11 to the direction close to the connecting base plate 11, that is, the cross-sectional dimension of the supporting base 10 is set to gradually decrease from the bottom to the top, thereby avoiding the top of the supporting base 10 restricting the second bracket 13 and the connecting base plate 11 from being stored in the receiving groove.

[0047] The camera fixing part adopts the cold shoe 14 and is arranged at the second end of the second bracket 13 of the supporting assembly, so that the photography auxiliary bracket has multiple supporting states.

[0048] Among them, the first support state is as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mobile phone is fixed by the magnetic ring 17, the magnetic ring 17 is supported by the first bracket 15, the support base 10 is placed and fixed on a relatively flat horizontal support surface such as a desktop, the second bracket 13 is kept in a state of being attached to the connecting base plate 11 and the cold shoe 14 is buckled on the second end of the connecting base plate 11. In this mode, the photography auxiliary bracket is only used to support and fix a portable mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet. The mobile phone can be fixed to the magnetic ring 17 horizontally or vertically.

[0049] The second support state is Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mobile phone is fixed by the magnetic ring 17, and the magnetic ring 17 is supported by the first bracket 15. The second bracket 13 and the connecting bottom plate 11 are separated from each other and are at a certain angle, so that the connecting bottom plate 11 and the second bracket 13 can be opened in a V shape and supported on a non-flat supporting surface, thereby improving the stability of the support.

[0050] The third support state is Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mobile phone is fixed by the magnetic ring 17, and the magnetic ring 17 is supported by the first bracket 15. The second bracket 13 and the connecting base plate 11 are separated from each other, and the two are at a certain angle. The photography auxiliary bracket is slidably inserted into the cold shoe slot of the camera through the cold shoe 14 at the second end of the second bracket 13. In particular, the cold shoe slot has an insertion end and an end, and the width of the cold shoe slot is gradually reduced from the insertion end to the end; correspondingly, the cold shoe 14 has an insertion end and an end, and the width of the cold shoe 14 is gradually increased from the insertion end to the end. After the cold shoe 14 is fully inserted into the cold shoe slot, the connecting base plate 11 abuts against the outer side of the end of the cold shoe slot, effectively preventing the cold shoe 14 from withdrawing from the cold shoe slot. In this state, the photography auxiliary bracket can connect and fix the mobile phone and the camera, which is convenient for controlling the mobile phone and the camera for coordinated shooting.

[0051] The photography auxiliary bracket in the folded state is as follows Figure 7 As shown, the second bracket 13 is flipped to a state of being in contact with the connecting base plate 11, and the second bracket 13 and the connecting base plate 11 are flipped and stored in the receiving groove of the first bracket 15; the first bracket 15 is flipped toward the magnetic ring 17 and remains in contact with the magnetic ring 17, and the support base 10 is accommodated in the inner circumference of the magnetic ring 17, which greatly reduces the volume of the photography auxiliary bracket, making the photography auxiliary bracket provided in the present application easy to carry.

[0052] In some other embodiments, the camera fixing part may also adopt a connecting screw hole set at the bottom of the supporting base 10. When it is necessary to connect with the camera, the fixing screw hole of the camera and the connecting screw hole of the supporting base 10 can be respectively connected through a double-headed stud. With the help of the double-headed stud and the connecting screw hole of the supporting base 10, a fixed connection with the camera is achieved, and the mobile phone is still installed and fixed by the magnetic ring 17.
