Detailed implementation manners

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The present invention provides a camera lifting bracket 50. Figures 1 - 6 , including a sleeve 10, a fixing seat 20, a driving mechanism 30, a telescopic rod 40 and a bracket 50. The sleeve 10 is hollow inside; the fixing seat 20 is fixed to the upper end of the sleeve 10, the fixing seat 20 includes a body 210, a locking member 220 and a movable member 230, the locking member 220 is connected to the body 210, the movable member 230 is movably arranged on the body 210, the movable member 230 can rotate relative to the body 210 and can move along the direction of the rotation axis, and the movable member 230 is provided with a gear structure 2310; the driving member 320 includes a rotating member 310 and a driving member 320, the rotating member 310 is rotatably connected to the body 210 and always rotates coaxially with the movable member 230, and the driving member 320 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 310 The driving member 320 abuts against the movable member 230, and the driving member 320 is rotated to drive the movable member 230 to move along the direction of the rotation axis, so that the movable member 230 switches between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking member 220 limits the rotation of the movable member 230, and in the unlocked state, the movable member 230 can rotate freely; one end of the telescopic rod 40 is movably arranged in the sleeve 10, and the other end is provided with a mounting seat 410 for mounting a camera, and the telescopic rod 40 includes a rack structure 420, and the rack structure 420 is used to engage with the gear structure 2310; the bracket 50, one end of the bracket 50 is hinged to the body 210.

[0033] When using the camera lifting bracket 50 of the present embodiment, the bracket 50 is first unfolded and the entire camera lifting bracket 50 is fixed to the ground. Then, the rotating member 310 is toggled so that the rotating member 310 drives the movable member 230 to rotate, and the gear structure 2310 on the movable member 230 drives the rack structure 420, so that the telescopic rod 40 is lifted and lowered relative to the sleeve 10. When the mounting seat 410 with the camera reaches a suitable height, the operator toggles the driving member 320 hinged on the rotating member 310 so that the movable member 230 and the locking member 220 are locked with each other into a locked state or separated into an unlocked state. At this time, the movable member 230 cannot rotate, and the telescopic rod 40 cannot move up and down relative to the sleeve 10. In the whole process, only one hand is needed to complete the telescopic action of the telescopic rod 40 and the switching action between the unlocked state and the locked state. The implementation of the camera lifting bracket 50 in the utility model can achieve the purpose of completing the lifting and lowering of the camera bracket with one hand.

[0034] In one embodiment, the driving member 320 has a rotating edge 3220 , and the rotating edge 3220 is at different distances from the rotating center of the driving member 320 . The rotating edge 3220 abuts against the movable member 230 .

[0035] The distances from the rotational edge 3220 of the driving member 320 to the center of rotation are different. Therefore, as the driving member 320 rotates, the distance between the movable member 230 and the center of rotation changes. Among them, the rotating member 310 can only rotate and cannot move, so the driving member 320 cannot move either. Therefore, only the movable member 230 moves along the rotation axis of the movable member 230. Finally, the switching between the unlocked state and the locked state is realized.

[0036] Generally, the driving member 320 has a cam portion, and the cam structure can well implement the above embodiments.

[0037] It should be noted that the driving member 320 can also drive the movable member 230 to move in other ways. For example, the movable member 230 is driven in the form of a connecting rod. Another example is that a suitable turbine and worm are provided on the driving member 320 and the movable member 230 to convert the rotational movement of the driving member 320 into the axial movement of the movable member 230.

[0038] In one embodiment, the fixed seat 20 further includes an elastic member (not shown in the figure). One end of the elastic member abuts against the body 210, and the other end abuts against the movable member 230 to urge the movable member 230 to always abut against the driving member 320.

[0039] In this embodiment, the main function of the elastic member is to reset the movable member 230. That is to say, the elastic member always forces the movable member 230 to abut against the edge of the driving member 320 so that the camera lifting bracket 50 is in the unlocked state.

[0040] It should be noted that other forms can also be used to realize that the movable member 230 always abuts against the edge of the driving member 320. For example, a magnet is used to always adsorb the movable member 230 on the rotational edge 3220 of the driving member 320.

[0041] In one embodiment, the movable member 230 is key-connected to the rotating member 310.

[0042] Two key-connected components are usually used to transmit torque to make the rotation of these two components synchronous, and the two components can also move relative to each other along the rotation axis. Preferably, spline connection is used.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , the driving member 320 is further provided with a holding portion 3210, and the rotating member 310 is further provided with an abutting portion 3110; in the unlocked state, the holding portion 3210 is driven to make the driving member 320 abut against the abutting portion 3110 to drive the rotating member 310 to rotate.

[0044] In this embodiment, the operator holds the gripping portion 3210 of the driving member 320 with one hand and then rotates it relative to the rotating member 310, so that the camera lifting bracket 50 enters the unlocked state. Then rotate the gripping portion 3210 to make the driving member 320 abut against the abutting portion 3110 of the rotating member 310, thereby causing the rotating member 310 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the movable member 230 also rotates, and through the cooperation of the gear structure 2310 and the rack structure 420, the telescopic rod 40 starts to move. By rotating the driving member 320 clockwise and counterclockwise, the lifting of the telescopic rod 40 is controlled.

[0045] When it is necessary to lock the camera lifting bracket 50, only need to rotate the driving member 320 reversely relative to the rotating member 310, and the locking between the movable member 230 and the locking member 220 can be achieved.

[0046] With such a setting, the operator's hand is always on the gripping portion 3210 and does not need to be transferred from the rotating member 310 to the driving member 320, which is more convenient.

[0047] In one embodiment, in the locked state, the locking member 220 meshes with the gear structure 2310.

[0048] In this embodiment, the locking member 220 meshes with the gear structure 2310, and the locking member 220 cannot move, so the rotating member 310 can be forced to stop rotating. Moreover, there is no need to design an additional anti-rotation structure on the rotating member 310.

[0049] In one embodiment, it further includes a collar 60 and a connecting rod 70. The collar 60 is movably arranged on the surface of the sleeve 10. One end of the connecting rod 70 is hinged to the collar 60, and the other end of the connecting rod 70 is hinged to the bracket 50.

[0050] The number of brackets 50 is generally three, and the triangle is the most stable geometric structure. The bracket 50, the connecting rod 70 and the sleeve 10 form a triangular structure.

[0051] Generally speaking, the main body 210 of the fixed seat 20 is fixed, so the upper end position of the bracket 50 remains basically unchanged, while the collar 60 can move up and down on the sleeve 10. By adjusting the position of the collar 60, the angle between the bracket 50 and the sleeve is changed. The larger the angle between the bracket 50 and the sleeve, the lower the height of the fixed seat 20. Conversely, the higher the height of the fixed seat 20. In some cases, the bracket 50 can also be completely retracted, making the angle between the bracket 50 and the sleeve close to zero.

[0052] In one embodiment, the telescopic rod 40 is provided with a guiding groove 430 arranged along the length direction, and the sleeve 10 or the fixed seat 20 is provided with a guiding protrusion 121 adapted to the guiding groove 430.

[0053] In this embodiment, through the mutual cooperation of the guiding groove 430 and the guiding protrusion 121, the telescopic rod 40 is unable to rotate, thereby preventing the rotation of the rack structure 420. By doing so, the meshing between the gear structure 2310 and the rack structure 420 can be made more stable.

[0054] In one embodiment, it further includes a handle 80, and the handle 80 is arranged on the sleeve 10.

[0055] The handle 80 is provided to facilitate the movement and handling of the camera lifting bracket 50. When the bracket 50 is fully retracted, the operator can directly lift the handle 80, improving the convenience of transporting the camera lifting bracket 50.

[0056] In one embodiment, a hook 90 is provided at one end of the sleeve 10 away from the fixed seat 20.

[0057] There are usually several reasons for setting a hook 90 at the bottom of the camera bracket:

[0058] Increasing stability, the hook 90 can be used to fix additional weights, such as sandbags or lead blocks, to increase the weight of the bracket 50, thereby improving the overall stability and reducing the shaking caused by wind or other external factors.

[0059] Facilitating carrying, the hook 90 can serve as a point for easy carrying and moving. Users can easily lift the camera bracket through the hook 90, which is convenient for carrying and moving.

[0060] Multi-functional use, the hook 90 can be used to hang other photographic accessories, such as flashlights, microphones, etc., increasing the functionality of the camera bracket.

[0061] Quick adjustment, when quickly adjusting the height or angle of the camera bracket, the hook 90 can serve as a lever point to help users make adjustments more quickly.

[0062] Safety guarantee, in some cases, the hook 90 can serve as a fixed point for a safety rope to prevent the camera from accidentally falling off or being stolen.

[0063] Adapting to different environments, when used outdoors or on uneven ground, the hook 90 can be used to fix the camera bracket to make it more stable and adapt to different shooting environments.

[0064] Expandability, the hook 90 can serve as an interface for connecting other devices. For example, the camera bracket can be connected to a tripod or other support structures.

[0065] Aesthetic appearance, although this is not the main reason, a well-designed hook 90 can increase the aesthetic appearance of the camera bracket, making it look more professional and delicate.

[0066] Spare function: When there is no other use, the hook 90 can be used as a spare function for emergencies.

[0067] In one embodiment, the bracket 50 is telescopic.

[0068] The telescopic bracket 50 can further improve the height adjustment ability of the camera lifting bracket 50 in the present utility model.

[0069] Finally, regarding Figure 6 For supplementary description, the rotating member 310 includes a mounting portion and abutting portions 3110 vertically arranged on both sides of the mounting portion. Among them, the mounting portion is key-connected to the movable member 230, and the driving member 320 is hinged between the two abutting portions.

[0070] Specifically, the driving member 320 has a gripping portion 3210 and a hinge member, and the edge of the hinge member is a rotating edge 3220. The hinge member is arranged between the two abutting portions 3110 and can rotate. When the rotation direction of the gripping portion 3210 is the same as that of the movable member 230, the positions of the hinge member and the rotating member 310 are relatively fixed. The gripping portion 3210 abuts against the abutting portion 3110 to cause the rotating member 310 to start rotating, and the rotating member 310 drives the movable member 230 to rotate, and the movable member 230 drives the rack structure 420 to move.

[0071] When the gripping portion 3210 drives the hinge member to rotate relative to the rotating member 310, the rotating edge 3220 causes the movable member 230 to move along the axial direction, thereby realizing the switching of the movable member 230 between the locked state and the unlocked state.
