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 creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment is a tripod assembly, including a straight rod 11, a sliding seat 12, a plurality of supporting legs 13 and a plurality of connecting rods 14. The sliding seat 12 can be movably mounted on the straight rod 11 for movement. The upper end of the supporting leg 13 is hinged to the sliding seat 12, and the supporting leg 13 is also hinged to one end of the connecting rod 14. The other end of the connecting rod 14 is hinged to the lower end of the straight rod 11. The upper end of the straight rod 11 is used to connect to the fixing device 21; the tripod assembly also includes a fixing component 15, which is detachably connected to the lower end of the straight rod 11, and the fixing component 15 is used to be plugged into the ground to fix the tripod assembly.

[0027] In this way, the tripod assembly is provided with a fixing component 15 below the straight rod 11, and the fixing component 15 is inserted into the ground to fix the tripod assembly, so that the tripod assembly can be prevented from falling on the land or grass, and has good stability.

[0028] It should be noted that the fixing device 21 is used to fix the electronic device. The fixing device 21 can be a gimbal nut connected to a camera, or a mobile phone clamp for clamping a mobile phone, etc. The fixing device 21 can be selected and set according to the type of electronic device.

[0029] In this embodiment, the fixing component 15 includes a connecting portion 151 and an inserting portion 152 for inserting into the ground. The connecting portion 151 is provided with an external thread, and a threaded hole 112 is provided at the lower end of the straight rod 11. The external thread cooperates with the threaded hole 112, and the connecting portion 151 is connected to the straight rod 11 through threads.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to lock the fixing component 15 and the straight rod 11, a locking nut 153 matched with the external thread is further provided on the connecting portion 151, and the surface of the locking nut 153 is provided with anti-slip grooves. The locking nut 153 can be a movable nut rotating on the external thread, or a fixed nut fixed on the external thread and cannot be movable, for example, the locking nut 153 is welded to the fixing component 15 or is an integrated structure with the fixing component 15.

[0031] Exemplarily, the plug-in portion 152 is a bar, such as a steel needle, and the straight rod 11 is provided with a hollow cavity 111 communicating with the threaded hole 112. The plug-in portion 152 can be received in the hollow cavity 111 through the threaded hole 112. The plug-in portion 152 can also be provided with a sharp end to save effort when inserted into the ground. In this way, the plug-in portion 152 is provided as a bar, which can be conveniently received in the straight rod 11 and is convenient to carry. The fixing portion is not limited to the structure of a bar. In other embodiments, without considering the problem of convenient storage and carrying, the plug-in portion 152 can also be other shapes, such as a fork structure, etc., as long as it can be plugged into the ground.
