[0038] The present invention provides a clamping mechanism that can be applied to support devices such as handheld stabilizers and tripods, and can clamp items such as mobile phones, cameras, tablet computers, books, etc., but the scope of application is not limited thereto.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism includes a shell assembly 10, a clamping arm assembly 20, a transmission limit assembly 30 and a control component 40; the clamping arm assembly 20 is switchably arranged on the shell assembly 10 between a storage state and an extended state; the transmission limit assembly 30 is arranged in the shell assembly 10, and the output end of the transmission limit assembly 30 is used to limit the extension of the clamping arm assembly 20; the control component 40 is arranged on the shell assembly 10 and connected to the input end of the transmission limit assembly 30, and the control component 40 is used to drive the transmission limit assembly 30 to move under the action of external force to release the limit on the clamping arm assembly 20, so that the clamping arm assembly 20 switches from the storage state to the extended state.

[0040] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 10 may include a plurality of outer shells, inner shells, etc., and the whole may be configured as a cylinder or a rectangular parallelepiped, etc., which is not limited here.

[0041] The transmission limiting assembly 30 may include an elastic reset component, a limiting structure for limiting the movement of the clamping arm, etc., without limitation to the specific embodiments.

[0042] The control component 40 can be a button, a push rod, a knob, etc., which is not limited here.

[0043] It can be understood that the present invention adopts an automatic pop-up structure to connect the control component 40 and the clamping arm assembly 20 through the transmission limit assembly 30, thereby realizing one-button automatic pop-up of the clamping arm, greatly improving the convenience of use, avoiding the situation of pinching hands, and improving safety.

[0044] In order to further improve the convenience of operation, improve the compactness of the clamping mechanism as much as possible, and facilitate the assembly of various components, refer to Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the control component 40 is a button, the transmission limit assembly 30 includes a limit member 31 and an elastic member 32, a partition 101 is provided in the shell assembly 10, the limit member 31 is rotatably set on the partition 101 and is connected to the button through the elastic member 32, and the button is connected to the partition 101 through a reset spring 41.

[0045] Among them, a protrusion is provided on the inner side of the button, a pressing arm is provided at a position corresponding to the protrusion of the limit member 31, the clamping arm assembly 20 is provided with a contact protrusion 201, and the limit member 31 is provided with a limiting protrusion 311 corresponding to the position of the abutting protrusion 201; when in the storage state, the limiting protrusion 311 abuts against the abutting protrusion 201, and the protrusion does not contact the pressing arm; when the button is pressed, the protrusion presses down the pressing arm to rotate the limit member 31, the limiting protrusion 311 and the abutting protrusion 201 disengage from each other, and the clamping arm assembly 20 can be switched to the extended state.

[0046] When in use, first press the button, and the return spring 41 inside the button is compressed. At the same time, the protrusion at the lower end of the button contacts the pressing arm of the limiter 31. Since the middle part of the limiter 31 is hinged on the partition 101, under the action of the button, one end of the limiting protrusion 311 on the limiter 31 is tilted up, releasing the limiting effect of the abutting protrusion 201 of the clamping arm, and the clamping arm assembly 20 can automatically pop out.

[0047] During this pressing process, the elastic member 32 is in a compressed state. When the external force applied to the button is cancelled, the elastic member 32 resets, the limiting protrusion 311 moves to the initial position, and the reset spring 41 recovers its deformation, and the button returns to its original state.

[0048] After use, the ejected clamp arm can be gently pushed into the opening of the housing assembly 10 by hand to complete storage.

[0049] In this embodiment, the shell assembly 10 is provided with an opening for accommodating the clamp arm and allowing the clamp arm to pass through. When in the storage state, the clamp arm assembly 20 is embedded in the opening and the outer end surface of the clamp arm assembly 20 covers the opening. The outer end surface can be adapted to the shape of the outer wall surface of the shell assembly 10, so that the clamping mechanism after storage is more coordinated and beautiful as a whole.

[0050] To achieve rapid ejection of the clamp arm, the clamp arm assembly 20 may further include a first clamp arm 21, a second clamp arm 22, and an ejection member 23. The first clamp arm 21 and the second clamp arm 22 are respectively disposed in the two side walls of the housing assembly 10 and are connected by the ejection member 23. The ejection member 23 is used to drive the first clamp arm 21 and the second clamp arm 22 to automatically eject after the limiting protrusion 311 and the abutting protrusion 201 are disengaged from each other. Specifically, under the action of the ejection member 23, the two clamp arms move back to back toward the two sides of the housing assembly 10, thereby extending out of the housing assembly 10. In this embodiment, the outer end surfaces of the first clamp arm 21 and the second clamp arm 22 can both be curved surfaces that are compatible with the cylindrical shell, thereby improving the overall integrity of the product.

[0051] It should be noted that the elastic member 32 and the pop-up member 23 of this embodiment can both be springs, elastic plastic members or elastic components, etc., which are not limited here.

[0052] In order to enable the clamping mechanism to clamp more objects of different sizes and further improve its applicability, in this embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 4 At least one of the first clamping arm 21 and the second clamping arm 22 is adjustable in length on the housing to adjust the size of the clamping space. To facilitate storage, the first clamping arm 21 and the second clamping arm 22 each include a clamping block and a stretching rod. The clamping block and the stretching rod are rotatably connected, allowing the clamping block to be stored in the opening of the housing assembly 10 and rotated to switch to a clamping position.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to make the two clamp arms pop out and retract more smoothly and ensure safety, refer to Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism may further include a release mechanism 50, which is provided on the partition 101 and is connected to the first clamping arm 21 and the second clamping arm 22 respectively. The release mechanism 50 is used to make the first clamping arm 21 and the second clamping arm 22 slowly and smoothly pop out to the outside of the shell assembly 10.

[0054] In this embodiment, the slow-release mechanism 50 is a gear set, which includes a first rack 51, a second rack 52, a first guide rod 53, a second guide rod (not shown), a first gear 54, a second gear 55 and a third gear 56, which are respectively provided on the partition 101. The first rack 51 is sleeved on the first guide rod 53 and connected to the inner end of the first clamping arm 21. The teeth on one side of the first rack 51 are engaged with the first gear 54. The second rack 52 is sleeved on the second guide rod and connected to the inner end of the second clamping arm 22. The teeth on one side of the second rack 52 are engaged with the second gear 55. The first gear 54 and the second gear 55 are both engaged with the third gear 56. The first guide rod 53 and the second guide rod are respectively sleeved with a first compression spring and a second compression spring. One end of the first compression spring abuts against the first rack 51, and the other end of the first compression spring abuts against the mounting seat of the first guide rod 53. One end of the second compression spring abuts against the second rack 52, and the other end of the second compression spring abuts against the mounting seat of the second guide rod.

[0055] Based on the above embodiments, mainly referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the first clamping arm 21 and the second clamping arm 22 both include a clamping block 211 and a connecting sleeve 212. The clamping block 211 of the first clamping arm 21 is connected to the first rack 51 through its connecting sleeve 212, and the clamping block 211 of the second clamping arm 22 is connected to the second rack 52 through its connecting sleeve 212; wherein, the clamping block 211 of the first clamping arm 21 can rotate relative to its connecting sleeve 212, and the clamping block 211 of the second clamping arm 22 can rotate relative to its connecting sleeve 212; a rotation limiting structure 213 is provided between the clamping block 211 of the first clamping arm 21 and its connecting sleeve 212, and between the clamping block 211 of the second clamping arm 22 and its connecting sleeve 212. The two rotation limiting structures 213 are respectively used to keep the clamping block 211 of the first clamping arm 21 and its connecting sleeve 212 in the target relative position, and the clamping block 211 of the second clamping arm 22 and its connecting sleeve 212 in the target relative position.

[0056] Specifically, if Figure 4As shown, the rotation limiting structure 213 of this embodiment may include an adapter block provided on the clamping block 211 and a mating portion provided on the connecting sleeve 212. The adapter block may be provided with a plurality of engaging protrusions, and the mating portion may be a plurality of grooves that engage with the adapter block. The engaging limiting effect enables the clamping block 211 to rotate at a specific angle, preventing the clamping block 211 from shifting during use and providing more stable clamping. It should be noted that the number of engaging protrusions may be less than the number of grooves. The clamping block 211 has multiple stable support angles. These support angles are related to the number and distribution of the engaging protrusions and grooves, and can be designed accordingly according to the specific application scenario, which is not limited here.

[0057] Main reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism may further include a rotating member 60, which is rotatably disposed on the shell assembly 10 and is used to drive the shell assembly 10 and the clamping arm assembly 20 to rotate relative to the partition 101 under the drive of an external force to adjust the direction of the clamping arm assembly 20 clamping the object.

[0058] In this embodiment, the rotating part 60 is a knob mounted on the outer periphery of the shell assembly 10. When the user rotates the knob, the entire shell can be rotated, while the partition 101 remains stationary, and the clamping arm assembly 20 is adjusted to the target position, thereby meeting the requirements for the clamping angle in different scenarios.

[0059] In order to further improve the reliability of the clamping mechanism in supporting and fixing the object, in some embodiments, the clamping mechanism may further include a magnetic member, which is provided on the surface or inside of the shell assembly 10 and is used to adsorb and fix the object to be clamped.

[0060] In addition, a wireless charging coil, an interface for wired charging, etc. can be set in the shell assembly 10 to realize the charging function, which helps to extend the battery life of the electronic device to be supported and is more convenient for users to use.

[0061] The present invention also proposes a supporting device, which includes a pull rod assembly and a clamping mechanism arranged on the top of the pull rod assembly. The specific structure of the clamping mechanism refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the supporting device proposed by the present invention includes all schemes of all embodiments of the above-mentioned clamping mechanism, it has at least the same technical effect as the above-mentioned clamping mechanism, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the pull rod assembly and the main body of the clamping mechanism can be connected by a connecting rod 210. The connecting rod 210 may include two parts, one of which is connected to the pull rod assembly and the other is connected to the main body of the clamping mechanism. A rotational connection can be adopted between the two so that the clamping mechanism can perform pitch motion relative to the pull rod assembly, thereby meeting the requirements for support angles in scenarios such as overhead or downward shooting.

[0063] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by utilizing the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
