[0037] The mounting sleeve 20 can be slidably disposed on the rod body 10 so that the support legs 30 can be switched between an extended position and a closed position, thereby facilitating use by the user. Of course, in some scenarios, the mounting sleeve 20 can also be a structure disposed at a fixed position on the rod body 10, and the specific structure of the mounting sleeve 20 and the connection method with the rod body 10 are not limited here.

[0038] The supporting legs 30 can be supported by the linkage rod 40 to improve the overall supporting stability of the tripod. The supporting legs 30 can be set to a structure with a fixed length or a structure that can be telescopically adjusted in length. The specific structure is not limited here.

[0039] It can be understood that the utility model improves the rotating structure of the tripod support foot 30, covers the rotating part with the support foot 30 and / or the mounting sleeve 20, and adopts a hidden rotating structure design, which not only improves the comfort of holding the tripod and makes the tripod more integrated, but also significantly improves the aesthetics of the tripod.

[0040] To facilitate assembly and better hide the rotating part, refer to Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the mounting sleeve 20 may be provided with the same number of fixing grooves 20a as the supporting legs 30, and a connecting block 24 is installed in each of the fixing grooves 20a, and the connecting block 24 is rotatably connected to one end of the supporting legs 30. Specifically, the connecting block 24 is provided with a rotating shaft or a rotating shaft hole rotatably connected to the supporting legs 30, and the rotating shaft or the rotating shaft hole constitutes a connecting portion 211, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connection portion 211 of this embodiment is a rotation axis.

[0041] Correspondingly, a notch may be provided at one end of the support leg 30, and a connecting hole 30a adapted to rotate with the rotating shaft is provided in the notch. Figure 6 As shown; or, a convex block is provided at one end of the supporting foot 30, and a rotating shaft which is rotatably matched with the rotating shaft hole is provided on the convex block.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connection block 24 may be provided with a plurality of material reduction grooves arranged at intervals, which can reduce the amount of material used and also prevent the product from shrinking during injection molding.

[0043] In order to further improve the convenience of assembly of the mounting sleeve 20 and its connecting structure, refer to Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the mounting sleeve 20 may include a sleeve body 21 and an inner sleeve 22 and an outer sleeve 23 respectively arranged on the inner and outer circumferential walls of the sleeve body 21, the inner circumferential wall of the inner sleeve 22 is provided with sliding ribs, the outer circumferential wall of the rod body 10 is provided with sliding grooves slidably matched with the sliding ribs, the connecting part 211 is arranged on the sleeve body 21, and the outer sleeve 23 is provided with anti-slip patterns 231 to further improve the stability of the tripod holding, and also help to further improve the comfort of the tripod holding and the aesthetics of the product.

[0044] In addition, refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the tripod may further include a support platform 50, which is fixed to the top of the rod body 10 and is used to connect the object to be supported. The support platform 50 may be provided with connecting screws, which may be 1 / 4 screws or 3 / 8 screws, etc., to facilitate the connection of devices such as cameras.

[0045] Main reference Figure 7In another embodiment, the tripod further includes a button assembly 60 for controlling the automatic expansion of the supporting legs 30. The button assembly 60 is disposed at the bottom of the rod body 10 and locks one end of the supporting legs 30 when the supporting legs 30 are folded to maintain the supporting legs in the storage state. After pressing, the end of the supporting legs 30 is unlocked from the button assembly 60, and then each supporting leg 30 is automatically expanded. This arrangement can greatly improve the convenience of use for users, without the need to manually open each supporting leg 30 one by one.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to increase the speed of automatic deployment of the support leg 30 and further improve the convenience of user operation, a pop-up mechanism can be set on the inner side of the support leg 30; when the support leg 30 is in a closed state, the pop-up mechanism abuts against the rod body 10 and is in a compressed state; when the support leg 30 is in an deployed state, the pop-up mechanism is separated from the rod body 10 and is in a natural state.

[0047] The pop-up mechanism may be an elastic member 71 or a component or assembly having an elastic structure. The elastic member 71 is preferably a pagoda-shaped spring, and the number may be one or more, which is not limited here. One end of the elastic member 71 is fixed to the inner side wall of the support leg 30. In this way, the compactness of the tripod structure can be ensured while improving the convenience of operation.

[0048] In this embodiment, a locking hole is opened on the inner side wall of the supporting foot 30, and one end of the elastic member 71 is locked in the locking hole, which makes it easy to install the elastic member 71.

[0049] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
