[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, an embodiment discloses a pipe clamp for installing an accessory, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The pipe clamp for accessory installation includes a connecting body 100, a locking assembly 200, a locking actuator assembly 300, a fixing mechanism 400 and other structural parts provided as needed.

[0041] For connection body 100, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The connecting body 100 can be understood as a collection of basic structural members and related components of the outer contour of the accessory installation pipe clamp. The accessory installation pipe clamp can be moved, installed and used with the help of the connecting assembly.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The connecting body 100 has a through-hole 111 and an installation cavity 112. In one embodiment, two through-holes 111 are arranged at intervals. The two through-holes 111 are respectively used as a first through-hole 111a and a second through-hole 111b. The first through-hole 111a and the second through-hole 111b are both used for the round tube to pass through. The installation cavity 112 is connected and arranged between the first through-hole 111a and the second through-hole 111b. The fixing mechanism 400 is arranged on the connecting body 100 for fixing functional accessories. In other embodiments, a plurality of through-holes 111 can also be arranged according to installation needs, which can adapt to the number of round tubes or can achieve the design purpose of fixing on round tubes.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The connecting body 100 includes a base body 110 and a connecting body 120, the through-hole 111 and the mounting cavity 112 are both arranged on the base body 110, the locking assembly 200 is arranged in the mounting cavity 112, and the locking actuator assembly 300 is arranged on the base body 110 corresponding to the locking assembly 200, so that the base body 110 can be directly installed on the two round tubes; the connecting body 120 is installed on the base body 110, and the fixing mechanism 400 is arranged on the connecting body 120, and the connecting body 120 is used for the installation of functional accessories.

[0044] For example, please refer to Figure 2 , a fixing mechanism 400 is provided at one end of the connecting body 120, and a protrusion 121 is provided at the other end. A groove 113 for the protrusion 121 to be embedded is provided at one end of the base 110. The connecting body 120 can be initially fixed to one end of the base 110 by the engagement of the protrusion 121 with the groove 113. In some further examples, a connecting bolt 122 is also penetrated on the protrusion 121, and a threaded hole is provided on the groove wall of the groove 113. When the protrusion 121 is embedded in the groove 113, the connecting bolt 122 can be screwed into the threaded hole to further fix the connecting body 120 and the base 110, so that the connecting body 120 is fixedly mounted on the base 110. In other embodiments, the connecting body 120 can also be integrally provided with the base 110, or connected in other forms, as long as the positions of the connecting body 120 and the base 110 can be kept fixed during use.

[0045] In a further embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The connecting body 100 has a detachable cover plate 114 , which is arranged corresponding to the installation cavity 112 so as to install or adjust the locking assembly 200 and other structural parts located in the installation cavity 112 .

[0046] Exemplarily, the cover plate 114 is arranged on the base body 110 and is located on one side of the installation cavity 112. The side wall of the cover plate 114 close to the installation cavity 112 also serves as the cavity wall of the installation cavity 112. The cover plate 114 corresponds to the installation cavity 112 and is approximately shaped like a double-ended open-end wrench. Two installation holes are arranged at intervals on the cover plate 114, and fixing bolts 115 are installed in the installation holes. Two fixing columns 1121 are integrally provided on the cavity wall corresponding to the two installation holes of the installation cavity 112 and the cover plate 114. The two fixing columns 1121 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the installation cavity 112 along the length direction of the installation cavity 112. The fixing columns 1121 are provided with threaded holes for threadedly mating with the fixing bolts 115. After the cover plate 114 is installed, the cover plate 114 can be fixed by mating with the fixing bolts 115 and the fixing columns 1121.

[0047] In other embodiments, the cover 114 may also adopt other shapes and fixing methods as long as they can meet the design and usage requirements.

[0048] For the locking assembly 200, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The locking assembly 200 includes two locking members, which are respectively a first locking member 200a and a second locking member 200b. The first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b are both movably arranged in the installation cavity 112. The first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b have abutting surfaces 221 on the sides facing away from each other. The butting surface 221 of the first locking member 200a can surround at least a part of the circumference of the first through-tube hole 111a, and the butting surface 221 of the second locking member 200b can surround at least a part of the circumference of the second through-tube hole 111b; the two butting surfaces 221 are used to press against the corresponding round tubes when the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b are away from each other. When in use, after the connecting body 100 is installed on two round tubes, the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b are controlled to slide in directions away from each other, so that the two supporting surfaces 221 press the corresponding round tube against the hole wall of the corresponding through-tube hole 111 to clamp the round tube.

[0049] Exemplarily, the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b are both slidably disposed in the mounting cavity 112, and the sliding directions of the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b are both arranged along the axial connection direction of the first through-tube hole 111a and the second through-tube hole 111b, so that the first locking member 200a can slide in a direction close to the first through-tube hole 111a, and the second locking member 200b can slide in a direction close to the second through-tube hole 111b.

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b both have an arc-shaped portion 220 at one end away from each other, and the supporting surface 221 is an arc-shaped surface arranged on the corresponding arc-shaped portion 220. The mounting cavity 112 can guide the sliding of the arc-shaped portion 220, which helps the arc-shaped portion 220 to slide stably. When used in conjunction with the supporting surface 221, it helps to improve the supporting stability.

[0051] For example, please refer to Figure 3The first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b both include a straight portion 210 and an arcuate portion 220. The arcuate portion 220 is disposed at one end of the straight portion 210 close to the tube-penetrating hole 111. The curvature of the arcuate portion 220 and the abutting surface 221 are both adapted to the curvature of the tube wall of the circular tube and are arranged in a semicircular shape. The portion of the mounting cavity 112 used to accommodate the arcuate portion 220 and for the arcuate portion 220 to slide also serves as a guide portion 1122. The guide portion 1122 can be understood as being formed by a circumferential partial expansion of one side of the tube-penetrating hole 111 close to the mounting cavity 112, so that the arcuate portion 220 can be movably embedded therein, thereby making the abutting surface 221 serve as a movable hole wall on the side of the tube-penetrating hole 111 close to the mounting cavity 112, and the hole wall of the tube-penetrating hole 111 opposite to the abutting surface 221 serves as a fixed hole wall, which can cooperate to achieve tight abutment of the circular tube.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The installation cavity 112 is provided with guide protrusions 1123 on both sides of the sidewalls in the sliding direction of the straight portion 210. The guide protrusions 1123 on both sides guide the sliding of the straight portion 210 to improve the sliding stability of the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b. For some embodiments with fixed columns 1121, avoidance grooves 211 may be provided on the straight portion 210 corresponding to the fixed columns 1121. On the one hand, the fixed columns 1121 are prevented from restricting the sliding of the straight portion 210, and on the other hand, they can also play a role in guiding the sliding of the straight portion 210.

[0053] For locking actuator 300, please refer to Figure 3 The locking actuator 300 is disposed between the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b, and is used to drive the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b to move, so as to achieve rapid locking.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The locking actuator assembly 300 includes a linkage member 310 and a locking operating member 320, wherein the linkage member 310 is movably disposed in the installation cavity 112 and is located between the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b; the locking operating member 320 is in transmission connection with the linkage member 310, and the locking operating member 320 can move the linkage member 310 so that the linkage member 310 drives the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b to move away from each other to press against the round tube. When in use, the linkage member 310 can be driven to move by controlling the locking operating member 320, and then the linkage member 310 simultaneously drives the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b to move away from each other to press against the round tube.

[0055] Exemplarily, the linkage member 310 is slidably disposed in the mounting cavity 112, and the sliding direction of the linkage member 310 is substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b. The linkage member 310 slides in the direction of locking the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b (in a direction of Figure 3 Taking the viewing angle as a reference, the sliding direction of the linkage member 310 is downward, that is, it can press the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The linkage member 310 has a trigger slope 311. The linkage member 310 pushes the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b to slide through the trigger slope 311, so that the abutting surface 221 can be pressed against the round tube. Exemplarily, the cross-sectional shape of the linkage member 310 is an isosceles trapezoid. The surfaces corresponding to the two hypotenuses of the isosceles trapezoid are the trigger slope 311 of the linkage member 310. The trigger slope 311 serves as a contact surface with the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b. When the round tube needs to be locked, the trigger slope 311 can slide with the linkage member 310 to drive the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b to move away from each other. In another specific embodiment, the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b can also be set as an inclined surface away from the respective abutting surfaces 221, so as to serve as the pushed inclined surface 212 for contacting the linkage member 310. The linkage member 310 can press the pushed inclined surface 212 to drive the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b to slide, so that the abutting surface 221 can be pressed against the corresponding round tube. Of course, in some embodiments, the linkage member 310 with the triggering inclined surface 311 can also be set as needed to cooperate with the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b with the pushed inclined surface 212, and the surface contact between the triggering inclined surface 311 and the pushed inclined surface 212 can help improve the linkage stability.

[0057] In some further embodiments, in order to facilitate the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b to automatically reset after unlocking, please refer to Figure 3 , the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b are both elastically arranged in the installation cavity 112 so that the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b tend to approach each other. It should be particularly noted that the elastic arrangement refers to the connection, abutment and other arrangement forms realized by using a spring, elastic material or elastic structure, and the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b are elastically arranged in the installation cavity 112, which specifically means that the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b can use a spring, elastic material or elastic structure to realize the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b tend to approach each other, that is, the self-reset function of the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b.

[0058] Exemplarily, the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b are both elastically arranged in the installation cavity 112 through the second elastic member 230. Specifically, the second elastic member 230 can be a spring. The two second elastic members 230 are each arranged in an avoidance groove 211 and are located between the groove wall of the avoidance groove 211 and the fixed column 1121. The second elastic member 230 is arranged along the sliding direction of the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b to provide the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b with elastic force to move away from the through-tube hole 111. In different embodiments, if the second elastic member 230 is arranged on the side of the fixed column 1121 close to the linkage member 310, the second elastic member 230 is arranged as a compression spring; if the second elastic member 230 is arranged on the side of the fixed column 1121 close to the through-tube hole 111, the second elastic member 230 is arranged as a tension spring. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b may also adopt other elastic settings that meet design and use requirements.

[0059] In addition, in other embodiments, the linkage member 310 may be connected to the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b by transmission, such as by setting a linkage connecting rod between the linkage member 310 and the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b, so that the linkage member 310 can drive the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b to move away from or close to each other, so as to meet different requirements for the positions of the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b during installation or locking. Of course, other configuration methods that meet design and use requirements may be used.

[0060] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The locking operating member 320 is a locking knob, which includes a knob portion 321 and a column portion 322. The knob portion 321 is located outside the connecting body 100. One end of the column portion 322 is connected to the knob portion 321, and the other end penetrates the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 112 and extends into the mounting cavity 112. The portion of the column portion 322 located in the mounting cavity 112 is threadedly connected to the linkage member 310, so that the rotation of the knob portion 321 can drive the linkage member 310 to move. When in use, the locking knob is turned, and the linkage member 310 cannot be driven to rotate due to the sliding arrangement in the mounting cavity 112, and can only slide along the axial direction of the column portion 322 to approach or move away from the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b.

[0061] In a further embodiment, in order to enable the locking actuator 300 to be more stably installed on the connecting body 100, please refer to Figure 3, the linkage member 310 is elastically arranged in the installation cavity 112 so that the linkage member 310 tends to slide in the direction away from the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b. It should be particularly noted that the elastic arrangement refers to the connection, abutment and other setting forms realized by using a spring, an elastic material or an elastic structure, and the linkage member 310 is elastically arranged in the installation cavity 112 specifically refers to the setting mode in which the linkage member 310 can use a spring, an elastic material or an elastic structure to tend to slide in the direction away from the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b, so that the knob portion 321 can maintain a state of abutting against the outer wall of the connection body 100. It is worth noting that the knob portion 321 can be replaced by a wrench with an eccentric head. When the wrench is locked, under the action of the eccentric head, the linkage member 310 can be pulled to slide in the direction of pressing the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b.

[0062] Exemplarily, a first elastic member 323 is sleeved on the column portion 322 between the linkage member 310 and the cavity wall of the installation cavity 112. The first elastic member 323 is a compression spring. The first elastic member 323 applies elastic force to the linkage member 310, so that the knob portion 321 can maintain a state of abutting against the outer wall of the connection body 100 under the transmission of the linkage member 310, especially when the linkage member 310 does not press the first locking member 200a and the second locking member 200b in the unlocked state, maintain a state of abutting against the outer wall of the connection body 100. In some other examples, the first elastic member 323 may also include a plurality of, for example, two, three or four, and two of the first elastic members 323 may be located on both sides of the column portion 322. The provision of the first elastic member 323 helps to improve the problem that the locking actuator 300 is in a relatively loose state and has poor stability in the unlocked state, and can improve the stability of the locking actuator 300. It is worth noting that the first elastic member 323 may be a spring.

[0063] In other embodiments, the column portion 322 may also be threadedly connected to the cavity wall of the installation cavity 112 and rotatably connected to the linkage member 310 to ensure the stability of the locking actuator 300. Of course, the locking operating member 320 may also adopt other locking structures that can meet the design and use requirements, such as an eccentric locking wrench.

[0064] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The fixing mechanism 400 includes a clamping ring 410, which is fixed to the connecting body 100. The clamping ring 410 has a hoop cavity 411 for clamping the functional accessories. When installing, the fixing part of the functional accessories can be clamped in the hoop cavity 411.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5One side of the clamping ring 410 is fixed to the connecting body 100, and the side of the clamping ring 410 away from the connecting body 100 has an opening 412, and both ends of the clamping ring 410 at the opening 412 extend in a direction away from the hoop cavity 411 to form an extension portion 413; the fixing mechanism 400 also includes a locking clip 420, the locking clip 420 connects the two extension portions 413, and can drive the two extension portions 413 to approach and maintain, so that the opening 412 shrinks, and then the fixed part of the functional accessory is clamped in the hoop cavity 411.

[0066] For example, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The locking clamp 420 includes a connecting rod 421 and an eccentric wrench 422. One end of the connecting rod 421 passes through and is clamped on an extension 413, and the other end passes through another extension 413 and extends a threaded section. The rotating shaft of the eccentric wrench 422 is perpendicular to the threaded section and is threadedly connected. When the eccentric wrench 422 is bent to the clamping state, the two extensions 413 are pressed to approach each other, so that the opening 412 shrinks, and the fixed part of the functional accessory can be clamped in the hoop cavity 411. In some examples, a third spring 423 is also clamped between the two extensions 413. The part of the connecting rod 421 between the two extensions 413 passes through the third spring 423. The third spring 423 is a compression spring. The third spring 423 can provide elastic force to the two extensions 413, so that the two extensions 413 can automatically reset after the eccentric wrench 422 is unlocked, so as to remove the functional accessory.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A positioning protrusion 414 is provided in the clamping ring 410, and the positioning protrusion 414 is used to be plugged into and matched with the positioning groove of the functional accessory to limit the rotation of the functional accessory to prevent deflection.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The clamping ring 410 is provided with a sleeve 430, and a notch 431 can be provided on the sleeve 430 to match the positioning protrusion 414 as required. The provision of the sleeve 430 helps to improve the effect of fixing the functional accessory. In some further embodiments, the sleeve 430 can be made of nylon, which has good wear resistance and is conducive to further improving the fixing effect.

[0069] In an embodiment of an accessory mounter, the accessory mounter includes two parallel circular tubes and an accessory mounting tube clamp mounted on the two circular tubes, wherein the accessory mounting tube clamp includes the accessory mounting tube clamp of any of the above embodiments. A user can mount the circular tube in this article on a mounting base of a supporting structure, for example, the supporting structure can be a tripod, and the mounting base is mounted on the tripod head.

[0070] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the present application, which is only used to help understand the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For technicians in the technical field to which the present application belongs, they can also make some simple deductions, deformations or substitutions based on the ideas of the present application.
