[0035] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. Now, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0036] An embodiment of the present invention provides a bracket 1000 for assisting shooting. The specific usage scenarios include self - shooting, live streaming, photography, taking pictures, etc. In the above - mentioned scenarios, the bracket 1000 can be used to support electronic devices or objects such as fill lights, microphones, and microphones. As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the bracket 1000 includes a main rod 10, a foot seat 20, and a support assembly 30. The foot seat 20 is sleeved on the main rod 10; the support assembly 30 includes a foot 31 and a support rib 32. The foot 31 is rotatably connected to the foot seat 20. One end of the support rib 32 is rotatable relative to the main rod 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the foot 31. One end of the support rib 32 is provided with a first rotating shaft part 321, and the support rib 32 is rotatably connected to the foot 31 through the first rotating shaft part 321; the foot 31 includes a first mounting part 311 and a second mounting part 312 that are spaced apart in the width direction of the foot 31 (as shown in the X direction in Figure 2 ); the first mounting part 311 includes a first blocking wall 3112 and a second blocking wall 3113, and the second mounting part 312 includes a third blocking wall 3122 and a fourth blocking wall 3123. The second blocking wall 3113 and the fourth blocking wall 3123 are in the length direction of the foot 31 (as shown in Figure 2are spaced at intervals in both the Y direction (as shown in the figure) and the width direction; the first rotating shaft portion 321 is clamped between the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 in the length direction of the supporting leg 31, and the first resisting wall 3112 and the second resisting wall 3113 enclose a first installation space 3111 for inserting the first rotating shaft portion 321, and the third resisting wall 3122 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 enclose a second installation space 3121 for inserting the first rotating shaft portion 321.

[0037] See Figures 3 to 5 , the first rotating shaft portion 321 is clamped between the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 in the length direction of the supporting leg 31. Thus, when the first rotating shaft portion 321 moves towards the top end of the supporting leg 31 (i.e., the end where the supporting leg 31 is rotatably connected to the supporting leg base 20), it will be resisted by the second resisting wall 3113, and when the first rotating shaft portion 321 moves towards the bottom end of the supporting leg 31, it will be resisted by the fourth resisting wall 3123. Therefore, under the combined action of the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123, the first rotating shaft portion 321 can be limited in the length direction of the supporting leg 31. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second resisting wall 3113 is closer to the top end of the supporting leg 31 than the fourth resisting wall 3123. In another embodiment, the positions of the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 can be swapped with each other, that is, the position of the two is set such that the fourth resisting wall 3123 is closer to the top end of the supporting leg 31 than the second resisting wall 3113, as long as it is ensured that the first rotating shaft portion 321 is clamped between the two in the length direction of the supporting leg 31.

[0038] Continue to see Figures 3 to 5, the first resisting wall 3112 and the second resisting wall 3113 enclose a first installation space 3111 for inserting the first rotating shaft portion 321. Inside the first installation space 3111, the positions of the first rotating shaft portion 321 are respectively resisted by the first resisting wall 3112 and the second resisting wall 3113, preventing the first rotating shaft portion 321 from disengaging from the first installation space 3111 in the directions of the first resisting wall 3112 and the second resisting wall 3113. Similarly, the third resisting wall 3122 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 enclose a second installation space 3121 for inserting the first rotating shaft portion 321. Inside the second installation space 3121, the positions of the first rotating shaft portion 321 are respectively resisted by the third resisting wall 3122 and the fourth resisting wall 3123, preventing the first rotating shaft portion 321 from disengaging from the second installation space 3121 in the directions of the third resisting wall 3122 and the fourth resisting wall 3123. The first rotating shaft portion 321 is thus limited in position by the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 in the length direction of the support leg 31, and is also limited in position in the first installation space 3111 and the second installation space 3121 under the resistance of the first resisting wall 3112 and the third resisting wall 3122. Therefore, when one end of the support rib 32 that rotates relative to the main rod 10 is fixed or limited, the first rotating shaft portion 321 can be stably fixed or limited on the support leg 31.

[0039] See Figure 1 , one end of the support rib 32 can be set to be rotatable relative to the main rod 10 in such a way that one end of the support rib 32 is rotatably connected to the end of the main rod 10 or a position near the end of the main rod 10, or one end of the support rib 32 is rotatably connected to a sleeve 40 provided on the support leg base 20 towards the end of the main rod 10. Each of the above methods can achieve the structure that one end of the support rib 32 can rotate relative to the main rod 10.

[0040] In an embodiment, the first resisting wall 3112 and the second resisting wall 3113 are integrally formed, and the two enclose a first installation space 3111 for inserting the first rotating shaft portion 321; the integral formation of the first resisting wall 3112 and the second resisting wall 3113 can strengthen the structural strength of the entire first installation part 311. The third resisting wall 3122 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 can also be set to be integrally formed, and the two enclose a second installation space 3121 for installing the first rotating shaft portion 321. In this embodiment, the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 are set to have a shape (such as a circular arc) adapted to the outer contour of the first rotating shaft portion 321, so as to improve the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the first rotating shaft portion 321 when the first rotating shaft portion 321 rotates in the first installation space 3111 and the second installation space 3121.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first retaining wall 3112 and the second retaining wall 3113 are spaced apart (not shown in the figure), and the spacing gap between the first retaining wall 3112 and the second retaining wall 3113 is smaller than the diameter of the first rotating shaft portion 321. That is to say, although the first retaining wall 3112 and the second retaining wall 3113 are spaced apart, the spacing gap is not large enough for the first rotating shaft portion 321 to disengage from the gap. Thus, after the first rotating shaft portion 321 is inserted into the first installation space 3111, the first rotating shaft portion 321 is retained and limited in the directions of both the first retaining wall 3112 and the second retaining wall 3113. Similarly, in other embodiments, the third retaining wall 3122 and the fourth retaining wall 3123 are spaced apart, and the spacing gap between the third retaining wall 3122 and the fourth retaining wall 3123 is smaller than the diameter of the first rotating shaft portion 321.

[0042] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the axial direction of the first rotating shaft portion 321 is perpendicular to the length direction of the support leg 31. This setting makes the structure of the support rib 32 disposed between the support leg 31 and the main rod 10 more stable and more convenient for installation.

[0043] See Figure 6 , the method of installing the first rotating shaft portion 321 of the support rib 32 onto the support leg 31 is as follows: adjust the direction of the support rib 32, insert the axial direction of the first rotating shaft portion 321 of the support rib 32 parallel to or at a certain angle to the length direction of the support leg 31 into the space between the first retaining wall 3112 and the third retaining wall 3122, and then rotate the support rib 32. When the second retaining wall 3113 is closer to the top end of the support leg 31 relative to the fourth retaining wall 3123, the rotating direction of the support rib 32 is clockwise (i.e., Figure 6 the arrow direction indicated in the body portion 323 of the support rib 32 in Figure 6(in the opposite direction of the arrow indicated in the body portion 323 of the middle support rib 32), so that both axial ends of the first rotating shaft portion 321 rotate to between the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123. At this time, the first rotating shaft portion 321 of the support rib 32 is installed in place. When the first rotating shaft portion 321 slides in the length direction of the support rib 32, it is resisted by the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123. Similarly, the method of disassembling the first rotating shaft portion 321 of the support rib 32 from the position where it is rotatably connected to the support leg 31 is as follows: When the end of the support rib 32 close to the main rod 10 is not fixed, rotate the support rib 32 in the direction opposite to the original installation direction, so that the first rotating shaft portion 321 of the support rib 32 is disengaged from the resistance of the first resisting wall 3112 and the third resisting wall 3122, that is, rotate the first rotating shaft portion 321 of the support rib 32 to the interval between the first resisting wall 3112 and the third resisting wall 3122. At this time, the support rib 32 can be disassembled from the support leg 31.

[0044] In one embodiment, the support rib 32 is made of an elastic material (such as plastic, plastic material), and after one end of the support rib 32 is connected to the main rod 10, within the torsional angle range of the support rib 32, twisting the support rib 32 can drive the first rotating shaft portion 321 to disengage from the first installation space 3111 and the second installation space 3121. Thus, even when the end of the support rib 32 close to the main rod 10 (i.e., Figure 6 the second rotating shaft portion 322 of the support rib 32 in

[0045] See Figures 2 to 6 , in the length direction of the support leg 31 (as shown by the Y direction in Figure 2 ), the distance between the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 is 1 to 1.2 times the diameter length of the first rotating shaft portion 321. When the distance between the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 is 1 time the diameter of the first rotating shaft portion 321, that is, this distance is adapted to the diameter of the first rotating shaft portion 321, the first rotating shaft portion 321 can be clamped relatively tightly between the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123; when the distance between the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123 is 1.2 times the diameter of the first rotating shaft portion 321, that is, there is still a certain amount of movement space when the first rotating shaft portion 321 is clamped between the second resisting wall 3113 and the fourth resisting wall 3123. At this time, the first rotating shaft portion 321 can still be restricted within a certain range and will not disengage from the support leg 31.

[0046] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5, the support leg 31 has an inner side wall 313, and a receiving groove 314 is provided on the inner side wall 313. The support rib 32 can be received in the receiving groove 314, and the first installation space 3111 and the second installation space 3121 are communicated with the receiving groove 314. The support rib 32 is received in the receiving groove 314, which facilitates the storage of the entire bracket and prevents the support rib 32 from being exposed after storage. The first installation space 3111 and the second installation space 3121 are communicated with the receiving groove 314. When disassembling and assembling the first rotating shaft portion 321, the space of the receiving groove 314 can be utilized to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first rotating shaft portion 321. The first blocking wall 3112, the second blocking wall 3113 and the bottom of the receiving groove 314 enclose a first installation space 3111 for inserting the first rotating shaft portion 321, and the third blocking wall 3122, the fourth blocking wall 3123 and the bottom of the receiving groove 314 enclose a second installation space 3121 for inserting the first rotating shaft portion 321. Thus, it is more convenient to install the support rib 32 on the support leg 31, and the first rotating shaft portion 321 of the support rib 32 can be directly inserted into the first installation space 3111 and the second installation space 3121 by means of the bottom of the receiving groove 314.

[0047] In one embodiment, the main rod 10 is provided as a telescopic rod.

[0048] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a shooting auxiliary device. The shooting auxiliary device includes the bracket of the above embodiments and further includes an electronic device fixing device (not shown in the figure). The electronic device fixing device is connected to the top end of the main rod 10. The electronic device fixing device is used to fix electronic products such as mobile phones and tablet computers.

[0049] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. For those skilled in the art, the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments can be modified, or some of the technical features can be equivalently replaced; and all such modifications and replacements should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
