Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of camera accessories, and particularly relates to a portable camera tripod. Background Art
[0002] A camera tripod is a support frame used to stabilize a camera to achieve certain photographic effects. According to the classification of materials, tripods can be divided into wood, high-strength plastic, aluminum alloy, steel, volcanic stone, carbon fiber, etc.
[0003] When the existing tripod is in use, one of the legs of the tripod needs to be adjusted to directly below the lens for shooting, and the other two leg tubes face the direction of the photographer, so that the tripod will not be collided during shooting. After opening the three legs, the camera is installed on the tripod head at the top of the tripod, thus completing the installation of the camera and the tripod.
[0004] The existing tripod adopts a folding structure design. When it needs to be stored, it is simply folded up and then carried by the user or stored and carried in a storage bag. However, in use, due to the continuous change of shooting locations, the tripod cannot be put into the storage bag for storage every time. Moreover, the existing tripod lacks a locking mechanism after folding, resulting in the folded tripod opening due to gravity during transportation, affecting transportation and being relatively inconvenient to use.

Specific embodiments
[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0028] Embodiment 1
[0029] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 And Figure 3, which is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a portable camera tripod, including a mounting table 1. Three support rods 2 are hinged to the outer surface of the mounting table 1. A locking assembly 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the support rods 2. Two handle assemblies 4 are arranged on the outer surface of one of the support rods 2. The locking assembly 3 includes a connecting ring 301 movably connected to the outer surface of the support rod 2. A rotating rod 305 is hinged to the outer surface of the connecting ring 301. A clamping ring 304 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 305 away from the connecting ring 301. A connecting cylinder 302 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 305. A connecting rope 307 is arranged inside the connecting cylinder 302. One end of the connecting rope 307 away from the rotating rod 305 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped rod 303. A plug rod 306 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the L-shaped rod 303.
[0030] Specifically, a tension spring 309 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 302. One end of the tension spring 309 away from the rotating rod 305 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 308. One side of the connecting block 308 away from the tension spring 309 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rope 307. A jack matching the plug rod 306 is opened on the outer surface of the rotating rod 305. When the three support rods 2 are rotated to the vertical position, the length of the rotating rod 305 is sufficient to drive the clamping ring 304 to clamp the adjacent support rod 2. The length of the connecting rope 307 is sufficient to drive the L-shaped rod 303 and the plug rod 306 to insert into the inner jack of the adjacent rotating rod 305.
[0031] Further, rotate and contract the three support rods 2 so that the three support rods 2 are brought together to the vertical position. Then rotate the connecting ring 301 on the outer surface of any one of the support rods 2 to drive the rotating rod 305 and the clamping ring 304 to clamp the adjacent support rod 2. After the clamping is completed, pull the L-shaped rod 303 to drive the tension spring 309 to stretch through the connecting rope 307 and the connecting block 308, so that the plug rod 306 is inserted into the jack on the upper surface of the adjacent rotating rod 305, thereby realizing locking the clamping ring 304 and preventing the three support rods 2 from opening.
[0032] Embodiment 2
[0033] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 And Figure 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The handle assembly 4 includes two fixed cylinders 401 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support rod 2. Vertical springs 402 are fixedly connected to the interiors of the two fixed cylinders 401. One adjacent end of the two vertical springs 402 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 404. A vertical spring 402 is fixedly connected between the two sliding blocks 404.
[0034] Specifically, a chute is provided on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 401, and a protrusion matching the chute is provided on the outer surface of the sliding block 404. The two vertical springs 402 can drive the lifting rope 403 to reach a straightened state.
[0035] Furthermore, when the two lifting ropes 403 are pulled out, the two ends of the lifting ropes 403 slide inside the fixed cylinder 401 through the sliding blocks 404, thereby driving the vertical springs 402 to stretch. After the middle part of the lifting rope 403 is pulled out, it bypasses the outer side of the adjacent support rod 2, and then docks with the lifting rope 403 on the other side, achieving the effect of a handle. The length of the lifting rope 403 and the distance that the sliding block 404 moves inside the fixed cylinder 401 under the action of the vertical spring 402 are sufficient to drive the middle part of the lifting rope 403 to bypass the outer side of the adjacent support rod 2. After the same pulling steps for the two lifting ropes 403, docking can be achieved, thus realizing the effect of a handle.
[0036] Working principle: After using the camera tripod, rotate and retract the three support rods 2 so that the three support rods 2 are brought together to a vertical position. Then, rotate the connection ring 301 on the outer surface of any one of the support rods 2 to drive the rotating rod 305 and the clamping ring 304 to clamp the adjacent support rod 2. After the clamping is completed, pull the L-shaped rod 303, and drive the tension spring 309 to stretch through the connecting rope 307 and the connecting block 308, so that the insertion rod 306 is inserted into the jack on the upper surface of the adjacent rotating rod 305, thereby locking the clamping ring 304 and preventing the three support rods 2 from opening. Then, pull out the two lifting ropes 403. The two ends of the lifting ropes 403 slide inside the fixed cylinder 401 through the sliding blocks 404, thereby driving the vertical springs 402 to stretch. After the middle part of the lifting rope 403 is pulled out, it bypasses the outer side of the adjacent support rod 2 and then docks with the lifting rope 403 on the other side, achieving the effect of a handle. Finally, the folding and storage of the tripod are completed. Through the locking of the locking component 3, the locking of the support rod 2 after folding and storage is realized, preventing the support rod 2 from being opened. The lifting handle component 4 realizes the lifting function, facilitating the user to pick it up.
