[0023] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and not to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] The following illustrates the implementation manners of the present utility model through specific specific examples. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. The present utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementation manners. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
[0025] Referring to Figures 1-6 , an external zoom accessory includes a transmission part 2 installed on the camera body 1. The transmission part 2 includes: a focus tracking toothed belt 201; an adjusting member 202 installed at one end of the focus tracking toothed belt 201, with a protrusion provided inside the adjusting member 202; a focus tracking motor 3 installed on the catheter body 7, and the focus tracking motor 3 meshes with the focus tracking toothed belt 201.
[0026] The focus tracking toothed belt 201 is a belt with a toothed structure for meshing with the zoom ring of the lens. When the toothed belt moves, it drives the zoom ring of the lens to rotate, thereby changing the focal length of the lens.
[0027] The protrusion structure inside the adjusting member 202 is used for the tension of the focus tracking toothed belt 201 to ensure the close contact between the focus tracking toothed belt 201 and the lens zoom ring, and to avoid slipping or instability during the zooming process.
[0028] The focus tracking motor 3 is a key part of the drive system. It is a small but powerful motor that can provide precise torque and speed control. The focus tracking motor 3 meshes with the focus tracking toothed belt 201. By rotating the focus tracking motor 3, the focus tracking toothed belt 201 is driven, and then the zoom operation of the lens is controlled.
[0029] The catheter body 7 provides an installation position for the focus tracking motor 3 and also plays a role in guiding and supporting to ensure the stability and positioning accuracy of the focus tracking motor 3 during operation.
[0030] An installation part 5 is detachably installed on the camera body 1. The installation part 5 includes: a first installation member 501; a first fastening member 503 rotatably installed on the first installation member 501.
[0031] The first installation member 501 is designed with an interface matching the camera body 1 for easy quick installation and disassembly.
[0032] The fastener 503 is usually a knob, a screw or other types of fastening devices. After the first mounting part 501 is docked with the camera body 1, the fastening degree of the installation is adjusted by tightening or loosening the fastener 503 to ensure that the accessory is firmly fixed on the camera, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the user to quickly disassemble it when needed.
[0033] Through the design of the mounting part 5, the external zoom accessory can not only be firmly mounted on the camera, but also maintain high flexibility and portability. Users can quickly install or disassemble the accessory according to different shooting needs without worrying about the risk of the accessory falling off or loosening during shooting. This design also enables the same accessory to be applicable to a variety of different brands of cameras, enhancing the versatility and practicality of the accessory.
[0034] The conduit clamp 4 is detachably mounted on the first mounting part 501. The conduit clamp 4 includes: a second mounting part 401; a connecting member 403 rotatably mounted on the second mounting part 401, and a mounting hole 502 for cooperating with the connecting member 403 is provided on the first mounting part 501.
[0035] The second mounting part 401 is used to connect with the first mounting part 501. A connecting member 403 corresponding to the mounting hole 502 on the first mounting part 501 is designed on the second mounting part 401 to connect the two together. The connecting member 403 is a rotatable device, usually a knob or a hinge structure, mounted on the second mounting part 401. By rotating the connecting member 403, the fastening degree between it and the first mounting part 501 can be adjusted to ensure that the conduit clamp 4 can be firmly fixed on the camera, and at the same time, the angle or position can be adjusted as needed.
[0036] The mounting hole 502 is used to cooperate with the connecting member 403 on the conduit clamp 4 to realize the installation of the conduit clamp 4.
[0037] The conduit clamp 4 further includes: a placement hole 404 opened on the second mounting part 401; an opening 405 opened on the second mounting part 401; and a second fastener 406 rotatably mounted on the second mounting part 401.
[0038] The size and shape of the placement hole 404 are designed to accommodate a part of the conduit body 7, providing precise positioning for the conduit body 7 to ensure that they can be accurately installed in the predetermined position without deviation or shaking.
[0039] The second fastener 406 is a rotatable component, such as a knob or a screw, etc., used to adjust and fix the position of the conduit body 7. By rotating the second fastener 406, the clamping force on the conduit body 7 can be adjusted to ensure that these components will not loosen due to vibration or movement during shooting.
[0040] The catheter clamp 4 further includes: a rotating handle 402, which is installed on the connecting member 403, and a placement groove for cooperating with the rotating handle 402 is provided on the second mounting member 401.
[0041] The rotating handle 402 is an operation part that is easy to grip and is installed on the connecting member 403. Users can adjust the position or tightening degree of the connecting member 403 by rotating the rotating handle 402, thereby indirectly adjusting the fixing force of the catheter clamp 4 on the catheter body 7.
[0042] The placement groove is used to cooperate with the use of the rotating handle 402 to prevent the rotating handle 402 from rotating by itself when not needed, ensuring the stability of the catheter body 7 during the shooting process.
[0043] The third mounting member 6 is provided on the camera body 1. The third mounting member 6 includes a fixed plate and a moving plate, and the fixed plate and the moving plate are connected by a limiting member.
[0044] The fixed plate is the basic part of the third mounting member 6 and is directly fixed on the camera body 1, providing a stable support for the entire mounting system and ensuring the stability of the additional accessories during the shooting process. The moving plate is relatively independent of the fixed plate but is connected to it by a limiting member and can move within a certain range, allowing users to adjust the position of the moving plate according to needs to adapt to accessories of different sizes or shapes, increasing the versatility and flexibility of the mounting member. The limiting member is used to connect the fixed plate and the moving plate and at the same time limit the movement range of the moving plate to prevent instability or damage caused by excessive movement, enabling the camera body 1 to be mounted on tripods of different sizes.
[0045] The catheter body 7 is placed in the placement hole 404.
[0046] Placing the catheter body 7 in the placement hole 404 can ensure its precise position inside the device and avoid displacement due to vibration or movement during use. The size and shape of the placement hole 404 are designed to match the catheter body 7 and can play a fixing role to keep the catheter stable.
[0047] During use, the catheter clamp 4 is installed on the mounting part 5, the mounting part 5 is installed at the bottom of the camera body 1, the focus follow tooth belt 201 is installed on the lens zoom ring, the focus follow motor 3 is installed on the catheter body 7, the catheter body 7 is inserted into the placement hole 404 and locked with the second fastener 406. When adjusting, the focus follow motor 3 operates, driving the focus follow tooth belt 201 to rotate through the upper gear, thereby adjusting the focal length.
