Specific embodiments

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] The embodiment of the present utility model provides a camera lifting bracket. Please refer to Figures 1 - 5, including a sleeve 10, a fixed seat 20, a telescopic rod 30 and a bracket 50. The interior of the sleeve 10 is hollow; the fixed seat 20 is fixed to the upper end of the sleeve 10. The fixed 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. A gear structure 2310 is provided on the movable member 230. The movable member 230 moves along the direction of the rotation axis to switch the movable member 230 between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking member 220 restricts the rotation of the movable member 230. In the unlocked state, the movable member 230 can rotate freely; one end of the telescopic rod 30 is movably arranged in the sleeve 10, and the other end is provided with a mounting seat 40 for mounting a camera. The telescopic rod 30 includes a rack structure 310 for meshing with the gear structure 2310; one end of the bracket 50 is hinged to the body 210.

[0030] When using the camera lifting bracket of this embodiment, one end of the telescopic rod 30 moves in the sleeve 10, and the other end of the telescopic rod 30 has a mounting seat 40 for mounting a camera. Therefore, the height of the camera can be adjusted by operating the telescopic rod 30. Among them, the movable member 230 on the fixed seat 20 has a gear structure 2310, and the gear structure 2310 meshes with the rack structure 310 on the telescopic rod 30. After moving the movable member 230 so that the movable member 230 moves along the rotation axis direction, the locking member 220 catches the movable member 230, making the movable member 230 unable to rotate. Finally, the telescopic rod 30 cannot move relative to the sleeve 10. When implementing the camera lifting bracket of the present utility model, the user only needs to move the movable member 230 along the rotation axis of the movable member 230 to lock the sleeve 10 and the telescopic rod 30 to each other, without having to blindly guess whether the locking between the sleeve 10 and the telescopic rod 30 is sufficient through a knob, thereby improving the convenience of the height adjustment operation of the camera bracket 50.

[0031] Specifically, the operator first installs the camera on the mounting seat 40. Then the bracket 50 is unfolded to support the camera.

[0032] Immediately afterwards, the operator lifts the telescopic rod 30 upwards until the camera rises to a suitable height. During this process, the rack structure 310 of the telescopic rod 30 and the gear structure 2310 of the movable member 230 are always meshed, so the movable member 230 will also be driven to rotate. Finally, the movable member 230 is moved along the rotation axis so that the movable member 230 abuts against the locking member 220, thereby restricting the rotation of the movable member 230. Since the gear structure 2310 and the rack structure 310 are always meshed, the movement of the telescopic rod 30 is also restricted at this time.

[0033] When it is necessary to store the camera lifting bracket or adjust the height of the telescopic rod 30 again, move the movable member 230 in the reverse direction to separate the movable member 230 from the locking member 220, so that the movable member 230 can rotate again.

[0034] It should be noted that there are various ways to stop the rotation of the locking member 220 and the movable member 230. For example, one end of the movable member 230 is non-circular. When one end of the movable member 230 abuts against the locking member 220, it will prevent the movable member 230 from continuing to rotate. Another example is that the locking member 220 and the movable member 230 can be connected by a buckle, so that the movable member 230 loses the ability to rotate. The ways to stop the rotation between the locking member 220 and the movable member 230 are various, and as long as it can be realized that the locking member 220 can stop the rotation of the movable member 230, it belongs to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in the locked state, the locking member 220 meshes with the gear structure 2310.

[0036] In this embodiment, the locking member 220 meshes with the gear structure 2310, and the locking member 220 cannot move, so the movable member 230 can be forced to stop rotating. Moreover, there is no need to design an additional anti-rotation structure on the movable member 230.

[0037] In one embodiment, the camera lifting bracket 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.

[0038] The number of brackets 50 is generally three, and a triangle is the most stable geometric structure. The bracket 50, the connecting rod 70 and the sleeve 10 form a triangular structure.

[0039] 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 10, the lower the height of the fixed seat 20. On the contrary, the higher the height of the fixed seat 20. In some cases, the bracket 50 can also be completely stored, so that the angle between the bracket 50 and the sleeve 10 is close to zero.

[0040] In one embodiment, the telescopic rod 30 is provided with a guide groove 320 arranged along the length direction, and the sleeve 10 or the fixed seat 20 is provided with a guide protrusion 121 adapted to the guide groove 320.

[0041] In this embodiment, through the mutual cooperation of the guiding groove 320 and the guiding protrusion 121, the telescopic rod 30 is prevented from rotating, thereby avoiding the rotation of the rack structure 310. By doing so, the meshing between the gear structure 2310 and the rack structure 310 can be made more stable.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , and it further includes a handle 80 which is arranged on the sleeve 10.

[0043] The handle is provided to facilitate the movement and handling of the camera lifting bracket. When the bracket 50 is fully retracted, the operator can directly lift the handle, improving the convenience of transporting the camera lifting bracket.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the fixed seat 20 further includes a fastening member 240 which enables the fixed seat 20 to have a fixed state and a sliding state. In the fixed state, the fixed seat 20 is fixed to the sleeve 10, and in the sliding state, the fixed seat 20 slides on the sleeve 10.

[0045] Generally, the fixed seat 20 is fixed at the top of the sleeve 10. However, there are some special cases where the camera needs to be placed at a lower position. Through the fastening member 240, the fixed seat 20 and the sleeve 10 can be switched between the fixed state and the sliding state.

[0046] Generally speaking, the fastening member 240 is a bolt, and the fixed seat 20 is provided with a threaded hole. The bolt passes through the threaded hole and abuts against the sleeve 10 by rotation. The friction between the sleeve 10 and the bolt is used to fix the fixed seat 20 and the sleeve 10 to each other.

[0047] In one embodiment, the bracket 50 is telescopic.

[0048] The telescopic bracket 50 can further enhance the height adjustment ability of the camera lifting bracket in the present utility model.

[0049] In one embodiment, a hook 110 is provided at one end of the sleeve 10 away from the fixed seat 20.

[0050] There are usually several reasons for setting a hook 110 at the bottom of the camera bracket 50:

[0051] To increase stability, the hook 110 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.

[0052] For easy carrying, the hook 110 can serve as a point for easy carrying and moving. Users can easily lift the bracket 50 through the hook 110, facilitating carrying and moving.

[0053] Versatile use. The hook 110 can be used to hang other photographic accessories, such as flashlights, microphones, etc., to increase the functionality of the bracket 50.

[0054] Quick adjustment. When it is necessary to quickly adjust the height or angle of the bracket 50, the hook 110 can serve as a lever point to help the user make adjustments more quickly.

[0055] Safety guarantee. In some cases, the hook 110 can be used as a fixed point for a safety rope to prevent the camera from accidentally falling off or being stolen.

[0056] Adapt to different environments. When used outdoors or on uneven ground, the hook 110 can be used to fix the bracket 50 to make it more stable and adapt to different shooting environments.

[0057] Expandability. The hook 110 can be used as an interface to connect other devices. For example, the bracket 50 can be connected to a tripod or other support structures.

[0058] Aesthetic appearance. Although this is not the main reason, a well-designed hook 110 can enhance the aesthetic appearance of the bracket 50, making it look more professional and delicate.

[0059] Spare function. When there is no other use, the hook 110 can serve as a spare function for emergencies.

[0060] In one embodiment, the mounting base 40 is a pan-tilt head.

[0061] The pan-tilt head has multiple rotation axes. Commonly, there are a horizontal rotation axis and a vertical rotation axis (pitch axis), which allow the user to freely adjust the angle of the photographic device in the horizontal and vertical planes.

[0062] In one embodiment, the mounting base 40 is provided with a screw connection 410 adapted to the camera.

[0063] Generally, a screw hole is preset at the bottom of the camera. By screwing the screw hole with the screw connection 410, the purpose of fixing the camera on the mounting base 40 is achieved.
