[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Embodiment: As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, the pan-tilt head with a quick-install locking structure includes a base member 1 and a panel 2. The base member 1 is provided with two oppositely arranged card slots 101. The two card slots 101 are respectively used for inserting and mating with the opposite sides of the panel 2 to restrict the panel 2 from moving away from the base member 1. The base member 1 is provided with a stop member 3 that can move along it to a locking position and an unlocking position. When the stop member 3 moves to the locking position, a card slot 101 is formed with the top surface of the base member 1. The base member 1 is provided with a locking member 4 on one side of the stop member 3. The locking member 4 can rotate relative to the base member 1 to a stopping position and a releasing position. When the locking member 4 rotates to the stopping position, it abuts against the stop member 3 to restrict the stop member 3 from moving away from the locking position. When the locking member 4 rotates to the releasing position, the stop member 3 is released. Among the two card slots 101, the card slot 101 formed by the stop member 3 moving to the locking position and the top surface of the base member 1 is defined as a movable slot, and the other card slot 101 is defined as a fixed slot.

[0025] Among them, the assembly process of the base member 1 and the panel 2 is as follows: First, one side of the panel 2 is inserted into the fixed slot. Then, the panel 2 is pressed down to make the stop member 3 move towards the unlocking position to make way. When the panel 2 abuts against the top surface of the base member 1, the stop member 3 is released. The stop member 3 moves towards the locking position to reset and form a movable slot. The two card slots 101 cooperate to lock the panel 2 on the base member 1. Finally, the locking member 4 rotates to the stopping position and abuts against the stop member 3 to restrict the stop member 3 from moving away from the locking position.

[0026] Among them, the disassembly process of the base member 1 and the panel 2 is as follows: First, the locking member 4 rotates to the releasing position to release the stop member 3. Then, the pressing and pushing portion 302 is pressed to unlock and make way for the buckle portion 301. At this time, the panel 2 is lifted upward. When the panel 2 is lifted and separated from the stop member 3, the disassembly of the base member 1 and the panel 2 is completed.

[0027] In summary, this embodiment provides a pan-tilt head with a quick-install locking structure to solve the problem that the existing pan-tilt head locks the panel and the base by moving the locking rod that abuts against the panel along the base. The locking force of the locking rod acting on the panel is small (point-surface contact) and it is easy to become loose. It mainly configures two card slots 101 on the base member 1 that cooperate to restrict the panel 2 from moving away from the base member 1, a stop member 3 that can move along the base member 1 to a locking position and an unlocking position, and a locking member 4 provided on one side of the stop member 3 that can rotate relative to the base member 1 to a stopping position and a releasing position. Since the stop member 3 forms a card slot 101 with the top surface of the base member 1 when it moves to the locking position, and the locking member 4 abuts against the stop member 3 when it rotates to the stopping position to restrict the stop member 3 from moving away from the stopping position, the contact surface between the panel 2 and the card slot 101 is large (surface-surface contact). Therefore, the connection between the panel 2 and the base member 1 is stable, the locking effect is good, and the assembly of the base member 1 and the panel 2 is fast and simple.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present utility model, an elastic member 5 for moving the abutting member 3 to the locking position is provided on the abutting member 3. Specifically, the elastic member 5 is a spring. With the above arrangement, by providing the elastic member 5 for moving the abutting member 3 to the locking position on the abutting member 3, the abutting member 3 can be moved to the locking position to form a clamping groove 101 with the top surface of the base member 1, thereby locking the panel 2 on the base member 1. The driving structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the direction from one clamping groove 101 to the other clamping groove 101 is defined as the front-back direction. The abutting member 3 extends in the front-back direction. One end of the abutting member 3 forms a clamping groove 101 with the top surface of the base member 1, and the other end extends out of the base member 1. Since the abutting member 3 extends in the front-back direction, with one end forming a clamping groove 101 with the top surface of the base member 1 and the other end extending out of the base member 1, during the disassembly process, it is convenient for the user to apply force to push the abutting member 3 to the unlocking position to take out the panel 2, and the operation is simple and fast.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the abutting member 3 has a buckle portion 301, a pushing portion 302, and a connecting portion 303. The buckle portion 301 and the pushing portion 302 are opposite to each other in the front-back direction. The connecting portion 303 is detachably and fixedly connected to the buckle portion 301 and the pushing portion 302 respectively. The buckle portion 301 forms a clamping groove 101 with the top surface of the base member 1. The pushing portion 302 extends out of the base member 1. An elastic member 5 for moving the abutting member 3 to the locking position is disposed through the connecting portion 303. With the above arrangement, by configuring the abutting member 3 into a buckle portion 301, a pushing portion 302, and a connecting portion 303 that are detachably and fixedly connected, the disassembly and assembly of the abutting member 3 and the base member 1 are convenient.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present utility model, both the connecting portion 303 and the elastic member 5 are two and correspond to each other one by one. The two connecting portions 303 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction. Since there are two connecting portions 303 and the two connecting portions 303 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, the movement of the abutting member 3 is stable and smooth.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the base member 1 has a connecting hole 102 for inserting the connecting portion 303. The connecting hole 102 has a front connecting section 103 and a rear connecting section 104 that are interconnected. The front connecting section 103 is close to the buckle portion 301, and the rear connecting section 104 is close to the pushing portion 302. The aperture of the rear connecting section 104 is larger than that of the front connecting section 103. The elastic member 5 is disposed through the connecting portion 303 and is accommodated in the rear connecting section 104. The elastic member 5 abuts against the base member 1 and the pushing portion 302 respectively. Since the elastic member 5 is disposed through the connecting portion 303 and is accommodated in the rear connecting section 104 with a larger aperture, the assembly of the elastic member 5 and the base member 1 is stable.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the locking member 4 has a handle portion 401 and a locking portion 402. The handle portion 401 is rotatably connected to the base member 1, and the locking portion 402 is provided on the side of the handle portion 401 opposite to the abutting member 3. When the locking member 4 is rotated to the abutting position, the locking portion 402 abuts against the abutting member 3. When the locking member 4 is rotated to the release position, the locking portion 402 releases the abutting member 3. The above arrangement configures the locking member 4 into a handle portion 401 rotatably connected to the base member 1 and a locking portion 402 provided on the side of the handle portion 401 opposite to the abutting member 3, enabling the locking member 4 to abut against and restrict the abutting member 3 or release the abutting member 3. The locking / release structure is simple and convenient to implement.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a relief groove 304 is provided on the side of the abutting member 3 opposite to the locking portion 402. The relief groove 304 is for the locking portion 402 moved to the release position to insert when the abutting member 3 moves towards the unlocking position. The above arrangement avoids the collision between the abutting member 3 and the locking member 4 when the abutting member 3 moves towards the unlocking position by providing a relief groove 304 on the abutting member 3 for the locking portion 402 moved to the release position to insert when the abutting member 3 moves towards the unlocking position.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present utility model, there are two locking portions 402, and the two locking portions 402 are oppositely arranged on the side of the handle portion 401 opposite to the abutting member 3. The above arrangement configures the locking portions 402 into two, enabling the locking portions 402 to have a good locking effect when abutting against the abutting member 3.
