[0032] The existing camera equipment generally includes a pan head 6, a camera bracket for supporting the pan head 6, and a connecting handle detachably connected to the pan head 6, and the pan head 6 can be locked to the camera bracket through the connecting handle; currently, the connecting handle is generally set as a connector with a threaded hole, the pan head 6 includes a pan head screw 62 and a pan head body 61, the pan head body 61 is provided with a ball bowl seat, the upper end of the pan head screw 62 is connected to the ball bowl seat, and the lower end is installed on the connecting handle through a thread to achieve the installation of the pan head 6, and the specific structure is basically consistent with the existing technology. In the existing technology, when the pan head 6 is installed, the connecting handle needs to be twisted upward from the bottom of the pan head screw 62, and the locking screw thread has a long range. When disassembling, the reverse knob is also required to achieve disassembly, and the range required to rotate the knob is long, so the installation and disassembly process of the pan head 6 is relatively slow.

[0033] The present application provides a quick connection handle, which is provided with an adjustable locking member 2. The locking member 2 is moved to different positions by adjusting the component 3 to achieve quick installation of the pan / tilt screw 62 and the connection handle.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present application, a quick connection handle is provided for quickly connecting the gimbal 6. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a mounting shell 1, a locking piece 2 and an adjustment assembly 3. The mounting shell 1 is provided with a mounting hole 11 for inserting the pan-tilt screw 62, and an adjustment cavity 12 connected with the mounting hole 11 is arranged inside the mounting shell 1; the locking piece 2 is rotatably mounted in the adjustment cavity 12, and the locking piece 2 is provided with a through hole 21 which penetrates the mounting hole 11 and can be inserted into the pan-tilt screw 62. The through hole 21 also has a locking hole 22, and the inner wall of the locking hole 22 is provided with a locking screw 23, and the locking screw 23 is used for threaded engagement with the pan-tilt screw 62; the adjustment assembly 3 is used to drive the locking piece 2 to rotate so that the locking screw 23 can approach or move away from the pan-tilt screw 62.

[0035] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3-Figure 4The locking piece 2 adopts an integrally arranged locking block. Since the locking piece 2 is rotatably connected in the mounting shell 1 and adjusted and rotated by the adjustment component 3, when the pan-tilt screw 62 is installed, the connecting handle can be installed on the pan-tilt screw 62, and the lower end of the pan-tilt screw is inserted into the through hole 21 and the locking hole 22 along the mounting hole 11. The screw thread of the pan-tilt screw 62 can mesh with the locking screw thread 23 and can gradually mesh with the locking screw thread 23. Then, the connecting handle can be rotated to achieve the locking of the pan-tilt screw 62 and the connecting handle; when unlocking is required, the connecting handle is first rotated to release the lock, and then the locking piece 2 is driven by the adjustment component 3 to rotate along its rotation path so that the locking screw thread 23 is released from the meshing with the pan-tilt screw 62, and the pan-tilt screw 62 can be pulled out. In summary, in the present application, the connecting handle is used to achieve the disassembly and installation without rotating the pan-tilt screw 62 for a long time, and the locking range can be shortened, that is, the rapid disassembly and assembly of the pan-tilt 6 is achieved, the operation is simple and fast, and it saves time and effort.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that please refer to Figure 4 From the perspective of FIG. 1 , the right side wall of the locking hole 22 has a locking screw thread 23 .

[0037] For further information, please refer to Figure 2-Figure 5 The adjustment component includes an elastic member 31, a connecting member 33 and an unlocking member 32. A mounting groove 24 is provided at the bottom of the locking member 2. The connecting member 33 is accommodated in the mounting groove 24 and is connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove 24. Specifically, a threaded hole is opened on the connecting member 33, and the connecting member 33 is fixed to the locking member 2 by a screw; the unlocking member 32 is connected to the connecting member 33, and drives the locking member 2 to rotate through the connecting member 33; the elastic member 31 is arranged between the mounting shell 1 and the connecting member 33, and the elastic member 31 drives the connecting member 33 to reset to drive the unlocking member 32 to reset, and the elastic member 31 drives the locking member 2 to reset, so that the pan-tilt screw 62 can engage with the locking screw 23, and the unlocking member 32 is used to overcome the elastic tendency of the elastic member 31 and adjust the rotation of the locking member 2, so that the locking screw 23 is convenient to be away from the pan-tilt screw 62, thereby facilitating the withdrawal of the pan-tilt screw 62. In this embodiment, when installing the pan-tilt screw 62, the connecting handle can be installed on the pan-tilt screw 62, and the thread of the pan-tilt screw 62 can mesh with the locking screw 23, and then the connecting handle can be rotated to achieve the locking of the pan-tilt screw 62 and the connecting handle; when unlocking is required, the connecting handle is first rotated to release the lock, and then the unlocking member 31 is toggled. Since the unlocking member 31 is connected to the locking member 2 through the connecting member, it can drive the locking member 2 to rotate so that the locking screw 23 is released from the meshing with the pan-tilt screw 62, and the pan-tilt screw 62 can be pulled out. In summary, in this application, the connecting handle is used to achieve the disassembly and installation without rotating the pan-tilt screw 62 for a long time, and the locking range can be shortened, that is, the rapid disassembly and assembly of the pan-tilt 6 is achieved, the operation is simple and fast, and it saves time and effort.

[0038] It is worth noting that when the connecting handle is installed on the pan-tilt screw 62, the connecting handle moves upward along the pan-tilt screw 62, and the locking member 2 is rotated and installed on the mounting shell; therefore, the force brought by the pan-tilt screw 62 in this process can drive the locking member 2 to rotate, so that the unlocking member 32 moves relatively downward and compresses the elastic member 31. Therefore, when the quick connection handle is installed on the pan-tilt screw 62, the user does not need to turn the unlocking member 32, and the unlocking member 32 can move downward accordingly according to the process of the connecting handle being put on the pan-tilt screw 62. This setting greatly facilitates the user's operation and installation. It is understandable that when the connecting handle is installed in a suitable position, the elastic force of the elastic member 31 can drive the unlocking member 31 to reset. In this article, the unlocking member 32 is set to the upper right, so as to facilitate the downward movement of the unlocking member 32. On the other hand, the setting of the unlocking member 32 that is turned is also convenient for the user to operate.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3-Figure 7 , the axis of the mounting hole 11 is vertically arranged, the rotation axis of the locking member 2 is horizontal and perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole 11, the axis of the locking hole 22 and the axis of the through hole 21 are arranged to cross each other at a non-zero angle, and the locking screw 23 is arranged on the inner arc surface of the locking hole 22 away from the through hole 21. In the normal state, due to the elastic tendency of the elastic member 31, after the pan-tilt screw 62 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, the thread of the pan-tilt screw 62 is meshed with the locking screw 23, and the pan-tilt screw 62 can be rotated to lock the pan-tilt screw 62 with the locking screw 23; when the pan-tilt screw 62 is unlocked, the pan-tilt screw 62 is rotated to release the locking state, and the unlocking member 32 drives the locking member 2 to rotate, so that the locking screw 23 is away from the pan-tilt screw 62, which is convenient for pulling out the pan-tilt screw 62.

[0040] For further information, please refer to Figure 2 The adjustment cavity 12 has a space for the locking piece 2 to rotate, and includes a first inner wall 121 and a second inner wall 122, wherein the first inner wall 121 is set as the upper end wall of the adjustment cavity 12 close to the mounting hole 11, and the second inner wall 122 is set as the lower bottom wall of the adjustment cavity 12; the first inner wall 121 and the second inner wall 122 are used to limit the adjustment range of the locking piece 2.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 The unlocking member 32 includes an unlocking wrench 321, one end of which is connected to the locking member 2, and the other end is arranged through the mounting shell 1, and the mounting shell 1 is provided with a strip groove 322 for the unlocking wrench 321 to rotate, and the strip groove 322 is connected to the adjustment cavity 12 and is arranged along the axial direction of the mounting hole 11, and the end of the unlocking wrench 321 passing through the mounting shell 1 is provided with an anti-slip pattern 323, which is convenient for users to operate.

[0042] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 4The elastic member 31 adopts a spring 311, and the spring 311 is arranged away from the rotating shaft of the locking member 2; the unlocking wrench 321 is connected to the locking member 2 through the connecting member 33, and the connecting member 33 and the second inner wall 122 are both provided with a limiting groove 312 for positioning the spring 311, the axial direction of the spring 311 is parallel to the axis of the mounting hole 11, and the upper end of the spring 311 is accommodated in the limiting groove 312 of the connecting member 33, and the lower end of the spring 311 is accommodated and fixed in the limiting groove 312 of the second inner wall 122, and the groove wall of the limiting groove 312 on the second inner wall 122 has a limiting protrusion 313 to limit the elastic member 31 to provide a reliable connection of the spring 311.

[0043] In other embodiments, the cooperation between the locking screw 23 and the pan-tilt screw 62 in the present application can also be replaced by a wedge block and a clamping block structure, or other cooperation structures that are clamped by position difference and can release the position difference by rotating the locking member 2. When installing the pan-tilt screw 62, the pan-tilt screw 62 presses down to push the locking member 2 to rotate or presses down the unlocking wrench 321 to make the wedge block and other similar clamping structures move away from the pan-tilt screw 62 until the pan-tilt screw 62 reaches the installation position. The elastic force of the spring 311 automatically pushes the locking member 2 to rotate so that the clamping block and the wedge block are clamped, and there is no need to rotate the pan-tilt 6.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 The mounting shell 1 includes a first shell 13 and a second shell 14 symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the mounting hole 11. The first shell 13 and the second shell 14 are radially buckled together along the mounting hole 11 to form the mounting hole 11 and the adjustment cavity 12. The first shell 13 and the second shell 14 are locked by bolts. When the pan-tilt screw 62 needs to replace parts in the adjustment cavity 12, maintenance can be facilitated by disassembling the first shell 13 and the second shell 14.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 The upper end of the mounting shell 1 is set as a stepped shaft 15 with a diameter smaller than that of the lower end of the mounting shell 1. The stepped shaft 15 at the upper end of the mounting shell 1 is coaxially sleeved with a pipe ring 4 and a supporting portion 5. The pipe ring 4 buckles the first shell 13 and the second shell 14 together. At the same time, the pipe ring 4 is set between the supporting portion 5 and the mounting shell 1.
