DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, 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 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 making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0033] A tripod is usually used as a support tool for video equipment to stabilize cameras, mobile phones or other shooting equipment.

[0034] The tripod includes three supporting legs. When in use, the three supporting legs can be independently unfolded and placed to improve the stability of the tripod, or the three supporting legs can be combined to form a monopod for use. However, the current tripod can only fix one shooting device at a time and cannot perform multi-angle or multi-camera shooting at the same time, resulting in a relatively single application scenario.

[0035] Therefore, in order to solve the technical problem that existing tripod products can only fix one shooting device and cannot perform multi-angle or multi-camera shooting at the same time, resulting in relatively single application scenarios, the present application provides a tripod device that can improve the flexibility of use of the tripod device and the diversity of use scenarios. Please refer to the following embodiments for details.

[0036] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 The tripod device 10 provided in the present application includes a tripod rod 100 , a leg assembly 200 and a limiting member 300 .

[0037] Wherein, two ends of the tripod rod 100 are respectively provided with a first shooting device mounting portion 110 and a leg connecting portion 120 connected to each other.

[0038] The first shooting device mounting portion 110 can be connected to an external electrical appliance mounting bracket 500 for placing shooting devices such as cameras, mobile phones or other electronic devices. For example, the first shooting device mounting portion 110 can be connected to an external mobile phone bracket buckle for placing a mobile phone.

[0039] The leg connection portion 120 is used to connect the leg assembly 200 so that the tripod device 10 can stand upright on the work surface.

[0040] Specifically, the leg assembly 200 includes at least three legs 210 , each leg 210 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 connected to each other, and the first end 211 is rotatably connected to the leg connecting portion 120 .

[0041] Among them, the rotational connection between the first end 211 of the leg 210 and the leg connecting part 120 can adopt a bearing, a pin, a hinge or other rotating structure. For example, a bearing can be installed inside or at both ends of the leg connecting part 120, and the component of the first end 211 is connected to the inner ring of the bearing through an axis. In this way, the leg 210 can rotate relative to the leg connecting part 120 to achieve free expansion or folding, so that the leg assembly 200 can be selectively in an expanded state and a stored state, so as to adapt to different ground conditions and shooting scenes.

[0042] When the tripod device is in multi-leg support shooting, the leg assembly 200 is in an unfolded state and supported on the ground, and the leg assembly 200 is separated from the limiting member 300. The user can unfold and place these legs 210 independently to form a stable triangular support structure, thereby improving the stability of the tripod device 10 when placed upright.

[0043] When the tripod device is in single-leg support shooting, the first shooting equipment mounting part is at the bottom and supported on the ground. When the leg assembly 200 is in the storage state, the limit member 300 is connected to the second end 212 of each leg 210 and forms a second shooting equipment mounting part.

[0044] In this way, a tripod device including a tripod rod, a leg assembly and a limiter is provided, wherein the two ends of the tripod rod are respectively provided with a first shooting device mounting portion and a leg connecting portion connected to each other, the first shooting device mounting portion can be used to place the shooting device, and the leg connecting portion is used to connect the leg assembly, so that the tripod device can be erected on the work surface. Specifically, the leg assembly includes at least three legs, each leg having a first end and a second end connected to each other, and since the first end of each leg is rotatably connected to the leg connecting portion and the leg assembly can be selectively in an unfolded state and a retracted state, the user can unfold and place these legs independently to form a stable triangular support structure, thereby improving the stability of the tripod device when placed upright; or these legs can be combined to form a monopod, which can reduce the space occupied by the tripod device and improve the convenience of carrying, and the use flexibility of the tripod device can be improved by freely switching the use state of the leg assembly.

[0045] In addition, by additionally providing a detachably connected limiting piece, when the tripod device is in a multi-legged supported shooting state, the leg assembly is in an unfolded state and supported on the ground, and the leg assembly is separated from the limiting piece; when the tripod device is in a single-legged supported shooting state, the first shooting equipment mounting portion is at the bottom end and supported on the ground, and the leg assembly is in a stored state, the limiting piece is connected to the second end of each of the legs, and a second shooting equipment mounting portion is formed for installing an auxiliary shooting equipment, so that the tripod device when used as a monopod can be connected to two shooting devices at the same time to work, thereby improving the diversity of the tripod device usage scenarios.

[0046] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 In some embodiments, the leg connection portion 120 is provided with a mounting ring 121, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the leg connection portion 120, and the first end 211 of each leg 210 is rotatably connected to the mounting ring 121; when the bracket assembly is in the storage state, the first end 211 of each leg abuts against the outer periphery of the leg connection portion 120.

[0047] The first end 211 of each leg 210 is hinged to the mounting ring 121 .

[0048] Exemplarily, the mounting ring 121 is provided with a plurality of mounting notches 1211, and the plurality of mounting notches 1211 respectively correspond to the plurality of legs 210; the first end 211 includes a rotating portion 2111 and a connecting portion 2112 connected to each other, the rotating portion 2111 is located in the mounting notch 1211 and is hinged to the mounting ring 121, and the connecting portion 2112 is connected between the rotating portion 2111 and the corresponding second end 212.

[0049] By hingedly connecting the mounting ring 121 to the first end 211 of the leg 210, it can be ensured that the leg 210 can be stably supported in the unfolded state, and the leg 210 can be rotated and adjusted in a large range in the vertical direction without being limited to adjustment of a fixed angle, thereby improving the degree of freedom of the leg 210 in adjusting the angle, so that the leg assembly 200 can be selectively in the unfolded state and the stowed state, that is, it can be flexibly switched between the unfolded state and the stowed state, thereby improving the durability of the tripod device 10 during frequent unfolding and stowing.

[0050] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 In some embodiments, the limiting member 300 is a limiting cover. When the leg assembly 200 is in the storage state, the limiting member 300 covers the second end 212 of each leg 210 , and the limiting member 300 is provided with a mounting head 310 .

[0051] The mounting head 310 may be a mounting male head provided with a mounting screw, or a mounting female head provided with a mounting threaded hole.

[0052] By providing a mounting head 310 on the limiting member 300 , a camera or a mobile phone holder with a mobile phone mounted thereon, etc. can be connected to the mounting head 310 , thereby improving the convenience of installing the tripod device 10 .

[0053] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 In some embodiments, the tripod rod 100 also includes a main body 101, and the main body 101 is connected to the first shooting device mounting portion 110 and the leg connecting portion. The first shooting device mounting portion 110 includes an electrical mounting bracket 500 and a fixing structure 111. The fixing structure 111 is arranged at the end of the main body 101, and the electrical mounting bracket 500 is arranged on the periphery of the main body 101.

[0054] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 In some embodiments, the tripod rod 100 further includes a main body portion 101 , which is telescopically connected to the first camera mounting portion 110 and the leg connecting portion 120 .

[0055] By providing a retractable main body 101, the user can quickly adjust the overall height of the tripod device 10 according to actual shooting needs to adapt to sitting shooting, standing shooting, or even high-angle overhead shooting or low-angle upward shooting, which greatly increases the flexibility and diversity of shooting. When it is not needed, the user can easily retract the main body 101 to shorten the overall length of the tripod device 10 for easy storage and carrying.

[0056] See also Figure 1-Figure 8In some embodiments, the fixing structure 111 is a ground nail. The ground nail can be made of a high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal material (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy), and has a sharp cone or spiral shape, which is easy to insert into the ground. One end of the ground nail can be fixed to the first shooting device mounting portion 110 by a connector (such as a thread, a buckle or a quick-release connector), which ensures a stable connection while allowing the user to quickly install or remove it as needed.

[0057] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 In some embodiments, the electrical appliance mounting bracket 500 includes a connecting seat 510 and a mounting seat 520, wherein the connecting seat 510 is connected to the main body 101, and the mounting seat 520 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 510, and the mounting seat 520 is used for mounting the shooting device.

[0058] Among them, one side of the connecting seat 510 is provided with a mounting groove 511, and the main body 101 is inserted into the mounting groove 511 to realize the connection between the connecting seat 510 and the main body 101, and the other side of the connecting seat 510, that is, the back side of the mounting groove 511, is used for placing ground nails.

[0059] In some embodiments, the rotational connection may be a ball joint, a universal joint, or a swivel joint.

[0060] Since the mounting base 520 is rotatably connected to the connecting base 510 , the angle of the shooting device can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the mounting base 520 , without frequently moving the tripod device 10 itself, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of using the tripod device 10 .

[0061] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 In some embodiments, the electrical appliance mounting bracket 500 further includes a rotating shaft 521 , and the mounting base 520 is rotatably connected to the connecting base 510 via the rotating shaft 521 .

[0062] For example, a shaft installation groove 511 may be provided on the side of the connecting seat 510 , and the rotating shaft 521 may be installed in the rotating shaft installation groove 511 , so that the rotating shaft 521 can rotate relative to the connecting seat 510 where the rotating shaft installation groove 511 is located.

[0063] Among them, the size, shape, surface finish and position accuracy of the shaft mounting groove 511 can be reasonably set according to the shaft 521 to ensure that the shaft 521 can rotate smoothly, reduce the wear between the mounting seat 520 and the connecting seat 510, and thereby increase the service life of the mounting seat 520 and the connecting seat 510.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the tripod device 10 is in a single-legged supporting mode for shooting, the mounting seat 520 is located above the fixed structure 111 .

[0065] Since the fixed structure 111 such as a ground nail is directly inserted into the ground when the tripod device 10 is in a single-leg support shooting mode, the mounting base 520 is located above the fixed structure 111 so that the mounting base 520 can still be used to mount the shooting equipment for low-angle shooting.

[0066] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first camera mounting portion 110 further includes a camera clamping structure, wherein the camera clamping structure 530 is connected to the mounting seat 520, and the camera clamping structure 530 is used to clamp the camera.

[0067] The camera device clamping structure 530 may include a receiving cavity 531 and two adjustable clamping arms 532. The receiving cavity 531 is used to receive the camera device, such as a mobile phone 600 (eg, Figure 4 As shown) or a camera, the clamping arm 532 is used to clamp the shooting device in the accommodating cavity 531.

[0068] The connection between the camera clamping structure 530 and the mounting seat 520 may be a bearing connection, a hinge connection, etc., so that the camera clamping structure 530 can be rotatably connected to the mounting seat 520.

[0069] For example, a bearing seat can be set on the mounting seat 520, and a bearing embedding structure matching the bearing seat is set at the bottom of the shooting equipment clamping structure 530, and fixed by fasteners such as bolts to ensure that the shooting equipment clamping structure 530 and the mounting seat 520 can rotate without getting loose.

[0070] In some embodiments, the camera clamping structure 530 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 520 .

[0071] By rotatably connecting the camera device clamping structure 530 to the mounting base 520 , the user can adjust the angle of the camera device clamping structure 530 according to actual needs.

[0072] The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative, wherein the units described as separate components may or may not be physically separated, and the components shown as units may or may not be physical units, i.e., they may be located in one place, or may be distributed over multiple network units. Some or all of the modules may be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of this embodiment.
