Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiment of the utility model relates to the technical field of photographic accessories, and in particular to a clamping device and a bracket. Background Art

[0002] A photography stand is a photography accessory used to fix and support a shooting device to keep it stable, so as to achieve clearer and more stable photo or video shooting. Photography stands can be designed in different types according to different shooting requirements, but basically include a clamping structure for clamping the shooting device and a supporting structure such as a tripod, a gimbal, a handheld stabilizer, etc. for connecting the clamping structure.

[0003] The conventional clamping structure for clamping the camera device is basically an integrally formed elastic rubber frame. The camera device is first placed between the rubber frames after the rubber frames are elastically deformed by external force. The rubber frames are then deformed again by removing the external force, and the elastic force of the rubber frames themselves is used to clamp and fix the camera device. The conventional clamping structure for clamping the camera device, i.e., the rubber frame, is prone to excessive deformation and damage after repeated use over a long period of time, resulting in insufficient clamping force and reduced clamping reliability of the clamping structure.

[0027] The utility model provides an embodiment of the clamping device, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , used for clamping the photographing device 6, the clamping device includes a first clamping member 1 and a second clamping member 2, the first clamping member 1 includes a first end 11 and a first free end 12 away from the first end 11, the second clamping member 2 includes a second end 21 and a second free end 22 away from the second end 21, the first end 11 and the second end 21 are rotatably connected, when the first free end 12 is close to the second free end 22, the photographing device 6 is clamped by the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2.

[0028] For the above clamping devices, see Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the first clamping member 1 is an arc-shaped clamping member extending from the first end 11 to the first free end 12, and the second clamping member 2 is an arc-shaped clamping member extending from the second end 21 to the second free end 22. The arc bending directions of the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 are relatively arranged. By rotating the first clamping member 1 or the second clamping member 2, the first free end 12 can be moved closer to or away from the second free end 22, thereby allowing the shooting device 6 to be clamped or released by the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2.

[0029] For the above clamping devices, see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the clamping device also includes a rotating shaft 3, the first end 11 has a first through hole 111, the second end 21 has a second through hole 211, the first end 11 is snap-fitted with the second end 21 so that the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 211 correspond, the rotating shaft 3 is inserted into the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 211 so that the first end 11 and the second end 21 are rotatably connected, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2.

[0030] Further, in order to maintain the clamping stability of the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The clamping device further includes a locking assembly 4, which is used to connect the first free end 12 and the second free end 22. The first free end 12 is provided with a first connecting portion 121 for connecting to the locking assembly 4, and the second free end 22 is provided with a second connecting portion 221 for connecting to the locking assembly 4. When the photographing device 6 is clamped by the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2, the first connecting portion 1 and the second connecting portion 2 are connected to the locking assembly 4, thereby keeping the clamping force of the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 unchanged.

The adapter 41 is provided with an adapter groove 411. When the shooting device 6 is clamped by the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2, the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 221 are inserted into the adapter groove 411. The locking member 42 passes through the adapter groove 411, the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 221 from one side of the adapter 41 and is connected to the fixing member 43 at the other side of the adapter 411. Specifically, the first connection portion 121 and the second connection portion 221 have the same shape, the first connection portion 121 is provided with a third through hole 1211, and the second connection portion 221 is provided with a fourth through hole 2211.

In addition, the adapter 41 is provided with a fifth through hole (not shown) extending from one side of the adapter 41 to the other side of the adapter 41, and the fifth through hole (not shown) The first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 221 are inserted into the adapter groove 411, and the third through hole 1211, the fourth through hole 2211 and the fifth through hole (not shown) are coaxially corresponding. At this time, the locking member 42 passes through the third through hole 1211, the fourth through hole 2211 and the fifth through hole (not shown) from one side of the adapter 41 and then extends to the other side of the adapter 41 to connect with the fixing member 43, so that the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 221 are fixed, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2. On the contrary, the locking state of the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2 can be released by releasing the fixing member 43 and the locking member 42 in turn, and driving the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 221 to be separated from the adapter groove 411.

[0032] For further information, see Figures 1 to 3 , the connection method between the locking member 41 and the fixing member 42 includes but is not limited to at least one of magnetic connection, threaded connection, snap connection, adhesive connection, and clamping connection. In some embodiments, the connection method between the locking member 41 and the fixing member 42 is preferably a threaded connection, that is, the locking member 41 has an external thread, the fixing member 42 has a threaded hole, and the locking member 41 passes through the adapter 3, the first connecting portion 121, and the second connecting portion 221 and is threadedly connected to the fixing member 42.

[0038] Further, for the above-mentioned blocking component 5, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The blocking assembly 5 includes a first blocking member 51 and a second blocking member 52. The first blocking member 51 is connected to the periphery of the first clamping member 1, and the second blocking member 52 is connected to the periphery of the second clamping member 2. When the shooting device 6 is clamped by the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member 2, the first blocking member 51 and the second blocking member 52 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0039] For the first blocking member 51 and the second blocking member 52, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the clamping device defines a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other, the first direction is the direction from the first clamping member 1 toward the second clamping member 2 disposed oppositely, and the second direction is the direction from one side of the first clamping member 1 toward the other side oppositely.
