[0047] The present utility model provides a tripod, which can be used as the tripod of a selfie stick or the tripod of other support devices, and is not limited herein.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1 to 14 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the tripod includes a main rod body 10, a support leg assembly 20, a release assembly 30, and a pop-up control assembly 40; the support leg assembly 20 includes a sliding member 21 and at least three support legs 22 respectively rotatably connected to the sliding member 21. The sliding member 21 is slidably disposed in the main rod body 10 along the length direction of the main rod body 10. The support legs 22 have a storage position and a deployed position; the release assembly 30 is disposed in the main rod body 10; the pop-up control assembly 40 is disposed at the bottom of the main rod body 10; when the support legs 22 are in the storage position, the sliding member 21 presses the release assembly 30, and the pop-up control assembly 40 catches one end of the support legs 22 away from the sliding member 21 to keep it in the storage position; after triggering the pop-up control assembly 40, the support legs 22 are disengaged from the pop-up control assembly 40, and the release assembly 30 releases the support legs 22, so that they pop out to the outside of the main rod body 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, the release assembly 30 can adopt an elastic structure, store deformation energy through a spring or a plastic elastomer, etc., and can release energy to drive a small part or most of the support legs 22 to pop out to the outside of the main rod body 10 when the support legs 22 need to pop out. The specific structure of the release assembly 30 is not limited herein.

[0050] In this embodiment, the pop-up control assembly 40 is preferably a button 411 as the control component. Of course, a knob or a lever, etc. can also be used as the control component, which is not limited herein.

[0051] It can be understood that the present utility model improves the structure of the support leg 22 of the tripod. The support leg 22 can be retracted and hidden in the main rod body 10. When in use, only the pop-up control component 40 needs to be triggered to automatically pop up the support leg 22, and then the support leg 22 can be stretched to the support position (in some scenarios, through reasonable structural design, the support leg 22 can be fully popped up to the unfolded position after triggering the pop-up control component 40. In this case, this manual stretching step is not required, and it also belongs to the technical solutions covered and claimed in this article). The overall volume of the tripod of the present utility model is smaller, more convenient for storage and carrying, simpler in operation, and more aesthetically pleasing in appearance.

[0052] Referring to Figures 3 to 14 , in an embodiment, the pop-up control component 40 may include a button component 41 and a buckle component 42 that cooperates with the button component 41 in a linkage manner. The button component 41 is used to drive the buckle component 42 to disengage from the support leg 22.

[0053] In this embodiment, the button component 41 may include a button 411 and a first elastic member 412, and the buckle component 42 may include a clamping block 421 and a second elastic member 422. A bottom cover 11 is provided at the bottom of the main rod body 10. The button 411 is elastically abutted against the bottom cover 11 through the first elastic member 412. The number of clamping blocks 421 is the same as the number of support legs 22. The button 411 is provided with a number of convex portions 4111 that are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the clamping blocks 421. The convex portions 4111 are all provided with inclined surfaces, and the clamping blocks 421 are all provided with mating surfaces that fit the inclined surfaces. One end of the second elastic member 422 abuts against the clamping block 421, and the other end of the second elastic member 422 abuts against the bottom cover 11. The support leg 22 is provided with a card slot 22a. In the storage position, the clamping block 421 is snapped into the card slot 22a, and in the unfolded position, the clamping block 421 disengages from the card slot 22a. With such a setting, while realizing the one-key automatic pop-up of a section of the support leg 22, the stability of the tripod for supporting an object and the convenience of use can be further improved; moreover, the structure is relatively simpler, convenient for assembly, and lower in production cost; in addition, the button 411 can be made into a structure with the same cross-sectional shape as the main rod body 10 of the tripod, which can make the whole more coordinated, with better integrity and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0054] Among them, both the first elastic member 412 and the second elastic member 422 can adopt springs or plastic elastic components, and no limitation is made here.

[0055] To ensure the stability of the support leg 22 during storage and improve the smoothness during the manual storage process, based on the above embodiment, as Figure 12 shown, a clamping arm that is snap-fitted with the card slot 22a may be provided on one side of the clamping block 421 close to the support leg 22, and the clamping arm may be provided with a guiding bevel.

[0056] Further, mainly referring to Figure 4, the convex portion 4111 may include two oppositely arranged supporting plates that extend towards the inner cavity of the main rod body 10. The inclined surface is provided at the top of the supporting plate, and the buckle is placed on the inclined surface and partially extends into the area between the two supporting plates. In this way, the overall pop-up control assembly 40 is made more compact and the assembly is relatively convenient.

[0057] Referring to Figures 3 to 14 , in one embodiment, the release assembly 30 may include a mounting ring 31 and at least three elastic release members 32 provided on the mounting ring 31. The elastic release members 32 are arranged one-to-one with the support legs 22. When in the storage position, the support legs 22 compress the elastic release members 32.

[0058] It can be understood that when the support legs 22 are in the storage position, the elastic release members 32 are compressed to store deformation energy; and when the support ends of the support legs 22 are released from the limit by the pop-up control assembly 40, the elastic release members 32 return to the natural state to release energy to drive the support legs 22 to pop out to the outside of the main rod body 10.

[0059] In this embodiment, the elastic release member 32 is a compression spring or an elastic plastic part, etc., and is not limited herein.

[0060] Mainly referring to Figure 4 , in one embodiment, the support leg assembly 20 may further include a bushing 23. The support legs 22 are all rotatably connected to the sliding member 21 through the bushing 23. Such a setting not only realizes the rotational connection, but also improves the convenience of assembling the support legs 22.

[0061] To enable the sliding member 21 to slide along the length direction of the main rod body 10, a plurality of spaced sliding ribs 211 are provided on the inner wall of the sliding member 21. Mainly referring to Figure 11 , in one embodiment, the main rod body 10 includes an outer rod and at least one inner rod connected to the outer rod. The sliding member 21 is located in the space between the inner rod and the outer rod and is slidably sleeved on the outer periphery of the outermost inner rod. And at the position corresponding to the sliding ribs 211 on the outer periphery of the inner rod, a sliding groove extending along its length direction and slidably adapted to it is provided.

[0062] In this embodiment, the main rod body 10 can be a pull rod assembly, and the support height can be adjusted telescopically to meet more application scenarios.

[0063] The present utility model also proposes a support device. The support device includes the support device. The specific structure of the support device refers to the above embodiments. Since the support device proposed by the present utility model includes all the solutions of all the above embodiments of the support device, therefore, it has at least the same technical effects as the above support device, which will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0064] The above are only alternative embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model under the inventive concept of the present utility model, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
