[0011] The outer surface of the mounting sleeve is provided with an external thread, and the nut cooperates with the mounting sleeve thread to enable at least a portion of the mounting sleeve to abut against the telescopic rod, thereby fixing the relative position of the mounting sleeve and the telescopic rod.

[0012] As one of the preferred schemes, the mounting sleeve includes a sleeve body penetrated by the telescopic rod, the sleeve body is provided with a plurality of annularly distributed thread petals, the plurality of thread petals are provided with external threads that can cooperate with a nut, and the threaded cooperation between the nut and the plurality of thread petals can cause at least one of the thread petals to deform and squeeze the telescopic rod, thereby achieving the fixation of the relative position of the mounting sleeve and the telescopic rod.

[0013] Furthermore, at least one of the thread petals has a first position and a second position in the first direction, the thickness of the thread petal at the first position is greater than the thickness at the second position, the first position is closer to the sleeve body than the second position, and the first direction is the axial direction of the telescopic rod.

[0014] Furthermore, in a possible implementation, a positioning protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the telescopic rod, so that the positioning protrusion abuts against the mounting sleeve to position the mounting sleeve along the axial direction of the telescopic rod.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, 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 only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Please also read Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment provides a bracket for supporting a photographing device, the bracket for supporting the photographing device comprises a telescopic rod 1 and a pan-tilt platform 7, the telescopic rod 1 is a structure that can be extended and retracted by a user; the pan-tilt platform 7 is arranged at one end of the telescopic rod 1, and is used to install an image acquisition and photographing device such as a camera or a mobile phone that can take photos or videos; specifically, when the bracket for supporting the photographing device is used, the telescopic function of the telescopic rod 1 enables the image acquisition device to change its height, thereby improving the user experience. The internal structure of the telescopic rod 1 is a well-known technical means, which will not be described in detail here.

[0036] The bracket for supporting the shooting device of this embodiment further includes a mounting sleeve 2 and a leg assembly 3. The mounting sleeve 2 is matched with the telescopic rod 1, and the leg assembly 3 is pivotally connected to the mounting sleeve 2, that is, the mounting sleeve 2 is used to connect the telescopic rod 1 and the leg assembly 3, and the leg assembly 3 is supported on the ground, so that the bracket for supporting the shooting device of this embodiment is stably erected on the ground. The mounting sleeve 2 has a limiting effect on the telescopic rod 1, so that the position of the image acquisition device installed on the pan / tilt head 7 is stable, which is convenient for taking pictures or photographs.

[0037] Furthermore, the bracket for supporting the shooting device of this embodiment further includes a nut 6 for cooperating with the mounting sleeve 2 to fix the telescopic rod 1, the nut 6 is provided with an internal thread, and the mounting sleeve 2 is provided with an external thread cooperating with the nut 6, and the threaded cooperation of the nut 6 and the mounting sleeve 2 can make at least a part of the mounting sleeve 2 abut against the telescopic rod 1, and achieve the fixing of the relative position of the mounting sleeve 2 and the telescopic rod 1. In summary: this embodiment can effectively achieve the purpose of positioning the telescopic rod 1 to the mounting sleeve 2 and the leg assembly 3 through the threaded cooperation of the nut 6 and the mounting sleeve 2, and the assembly is simple and the cost is low.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 In one of the optional embodiments, the mounting sleeve 2 includes a sleeve body 21 penetrated by the telescopic rod 1, and the sleeve body 21 is provided with a plurality of annularly distributed thread petals 22, and the plurality of thread petals 22 are provided with external threads that can cooperate with the nut 6. The threaded cooperation between the nut 6 and the plurality of thread petals 22 can cause at least one of the thread petals to deform and squeeze the telescopic rod 1. The squeezing here generates a large friction force between the two, thereby achieving the fixing of the relative position of the mounting sleeve 2 and the telescopic rod 1.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 In an optional embodiment, the mounting sleeve 2 includes four thread petals 22, and the four thread petals 22 can be matched with the nut 6. Specifically, the major diameter or minor diameter of the thread at each location on the thread petal 22 increases sequentially. More specifically, from the free end of the thread petal 22 to the direction of movement of the sleeve body 21, the major diameter or minor diameter of the thread increases sequentially, but the major diameter or minor diameter of the thread of the nut 6 remains unchanged, so that when the nut 6 is tightened toward one side of the thread petal 22, the thread petal 22 is continuously squeezed inward until the thread petal 22 is tightly abutted against the outer wall of the telescopic rod 1, completing the installation and fixation of the telescopic rod 1.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 5 The outer wall of the telescopic rod 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 11, and the positioning protrusion 11 abuts against the side walls of the two adjacent thread petals 22 when the telescopic rod 1 is matched with the sleeve body 21, so that when the telescopic rod 1 is matched with the mounting sleeve 2, the positioning protrusion 11 is limited by the thread petals 22 on both sides and cannot cause the telescopic rod 1 to rotate, and the positioning protrusion 11 abuts against the end surface of the mounting sleeve 2 to position the mounting sleeve 2 along the axial direction of the telescopic rod 1, thereby preventing the mounting sleeve 2 from sliding axially relative to the telescopic rod 1, and facilitating the tight fit of the telescopic rod 1 to the mounting sleeve 2. That is, when the telescopic rod 1 is matched with the sleeve body 21 but the nut 6 is not tightened, the telescopic rod 1 will not rotate relative to the mounting sleeve 2, which is not only convenient for subsequent installation, but also ensures that the angles of the telescopic rods 1 and the mounting sleeve 2 of each batch of brackets for supporting shooting equipment produced by the manufacturer are completely consistent, and the product has extremely high consistency, which is convenient for packaging after production.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 The bracket for supporting the photographing device further comprises a sliding sleeve 5 slidably connected to the telescopic rod 1, the sliding sleeve 5 is pivotally connected to a support rod 4, and the support rod 4 is pivotally connected to the leg assembly 3. The support rod 4 is connected between the telescopic rod 1 and the leg assembly 3, and can provide a supporting effect on both. That is, it can ensure that the position of each leg assembly 3 is stable when the bracket for supporting the photographing device is in use.

[0042] The number of the leg assemblies 3 and the support rods 4 are both three, and the three leg assemblies 3 can maintain a stable supporting effect on various ground surfaces.

[0043] The leg assembly 3 includes a first leg 31, a fixing member 32 and a second leg 33, wherein the first leg 31 is slidably sleeved on the second leg 33, and the fixing member 32 is used to fix the relative positions of the first leg 31 and the second leg 33. The leg assembly 3 is a retractable structure, and after the first leg 31 moves relative to the second leg 33 to achieve the extension and retraction of the leg assembly 3, the positions of the two are fixed by the fixing member 32. This freely retractable manner and the fixing member 32 can fix the two when the two slide relative to each other to any position, effectively helping users to maintain the stability of the bracket for supporting the shooting equipment on various ground surfaces.

[0044] The second leg 33 is sleeved inside the first leg 31. Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 , the fixing member 32 is fixedly arranged on the first leg 31, and the support rod 4 is pivotally connected to the fixing member 32 of the leg assembly 3. The fixing member 32 is fixed relative to the first leg 31, which makes it easy for the user to control it. The fixing member 32 includes a fixing sleeve 321 fixedly arranged on the first leg 31, and the fixing sleeve 321 is pivotally connected with a rotating member 323. A slot 311 is provided on the side of the first leg 31, and a side hole 322 is provided on the fixing member 32 corresponding to the slot 311; the fixing member 32 has a fixing effect on the second leg 33 located inside the first leg 31 through the slot 311.

[0045] More specifically, see Attachment Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 6 , Attachment Figure 7 The rotating member 323 pivots between the first locking position and the second releasing position. Figure 2 The rotating member 323 is in the first locking position, and the attached Figure 6The rotating member 323 in the second release position. When the rotating member 323 is in the first locking position, the rotating member 323 at least partially penetrates the side hole 322 and the slot 311 in sequence and makes the second leg 33 abut against the inner wall of the first leg 31, and the abutting force has a fixing effect on the second leg 33 located inside the first leg 31. When the rotating member 323 is in the second release position, the rotating member 323 does not contact the second leg 33, that is, the relative position of the first leg 31 and the second leg 33 is not restricted, and the user can adjust the relative position of the two, that is, adjust the length of the leg assembly 3.

[0046] The first leg 31 is pivotally connected to the mounting sleeve 2, and the second leg 33 slides inside the first leg 31 as before. Under this connection relationship, the bracket for supporting the shooting device is Figure 1 The expanded state shown changes to Figure 2 In the storage state shown, it is only necessary to push up the sliding sleeve 5, that is, the operation method is relatively simple. Figure 1 In the state shown, the support rod 4 can remain horizontal, and this horizontal position can keep the bracket for supporting the photographing device in a stable state, because if one of the leg assemblies 3 is subjected to a lateral thrust, the thrust can be completely transmitted to the telescopic rod 1 through the support rod, and there is no vertical force component; and when the leg assembly 3 is shortened, the position of the fixing member 32 remains unchanged, which is convenient for users to adjust; when the bracket for supporting the photographing device is stored, the sliding sleeve 5 also has a certain movement direction, which is convenient for users to store. However, if the second leg 33 is pivotally connected to the mounting sleeve 2, the sliding sleeve 5 is intelligently pushed down to store the bracket for supporting the photographing device, the leg assembly 3 will first pivot outward, and then pivot inward until it is fully stored, resulting in the need for storage to occupy a larger physical space than when in use, which is inconvenient for users to store.
