Pedal type rotary springback tripod

Abstract

A pedal type rotary springback tripod comprises a pedal assembly and an operating lever mechanism driven by pressing of the pedal assembly, and a sawtooth-shaped end face is formed at one end of the operating lever mechanism. The sawtooth-shaped end face protrusions are matched with the inner ratchet cylinder. The other end of the in-cylinder ratchet is matched with a clamping groove connecting piece; the clamping groove connecting piece provides reset abutting elastic force enabling the operating rod mechanism to rebound after being pressed by means of an elastic piece. The tooth-shaped end face protrusion presses the ratchets in the cylinder, and the ratchets in the pressing cylinder slide towards the inclined face of the first groove of the clamping groove connecting piece towards the second groove, so that the operating rod mechanism is switched between the locking position and the unlocking position relative to the ejector rod. The structure is simple, the stability is higher, the external interference on the operation is less, the manual clamping or screwing is not needed, the two hands are liberated, and the operation time and the operation steps are saved; the camera is especially suitable for scenes where the shooting angle and height need to be rapidly adjusted, such as outdoor snapshot or sports photography. Shaking caused by improper manual adjustment or infirm locking is effectively reduced, the shooting quality is improved, and the tripod is more compact and portable during angle adjustment and storage; the device has excellent performance in the aspects of technicality, economy and practicability.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a pedal-type rotating rebound tripod. Background Art

[0002] According to market research and patent searches, I found that the quick-locking support of a tripod is generally tightened by screws, which requires manual tightening during use. This is inconvenient to operate during photography, has a complex structure, and is not very stable after being erected. In order to overcome the above defects, I developed a foot-operated rotating rebound tripod. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is to provide a pedal-type rotary rebound tripod, which is characterized in that: it includes a pedal assembly, a joystick mechanism driven by pressing the pedal assembly, and one end of the joystick mechanism forms a serrated end surface;

[0004] The serrated end face protrusion fits into the inner ratchet cylinder; the other end of the ratchet in the cylinder fits into the slot connector;

[0005] The slot connector provides a restoring resisting elastic force with the aid of an elastic member to make the operating lever mechanism rebound after being pressed; the toothed end surface protrusion presses the ratchet in the cylinder, and the ratchet in the cylinder slides toward the inclined surface of the first groove of the slot connector to the second groove, so that the operating lever mechanism is switched between a locking position relative to the push rod and an unlocking position.

[0006] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple ratchets in the tube, the slot connector and the elastic member are arranged in the lower holding tube, and the elastic member elastically supports between the slot connector and the bottom cover.

[0007] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the inner ratchet cylinder is connected to a tripod support frame, and a threaded section is formed on the lower portion of the tripod support frame to match the lower holding cylinder.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, an upper holding cylinder is provided above the inner ratchet cylinder, and the push rod is connected to the steering bowl; a placement cavity for accommodating the push rod holding block is provided in the middle of the steering bowl.

[0009] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the upper holding cylinder provides a limited holding cavity for the insertion and locking of the push rod holding block. Driven by the operating lever mechanism, the push rod holding block enters the limited holding cavity upward, causing the upper holding cylinder to move upward, causing its inner wall to tightly press against the steering bowl and lock it.

[0010] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the push rod holding block is driven downward into the placement cavity by the joystick mechanism, thereby disengaging from the limit holding cavity and allowing the upper holding cylinder to form a free conversion state.

[0011] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the joystick mechanism includes a guide beam, and a travel groove for the beam to move up and down is formed on the upper portion of the inner ratchet cylinder.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a sphere is provided on the top of the push rod.

[0013] Compared with the background technology, the utility model has the following effects:

[0014] Because the present invention adopts the above-mentioned solution, it has a simple structure, greater stability, and is less susceptible to external interference during operation. Manual re-tightening or tightening is unnecessary, freeing up hands and saving time and steps. It is particularly suitable for scenes requiring quick adjustment of shooting angle and height, such as outdoor snapshots or sports photography. It effectively reduces shaking caused by improper manual adjustment or loose locking, improving filming quality and making the tripod more compact and lightweight for angle adjustment and storage. It offers superior performance in terms of technology, economy, and practicality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] The following further describes the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the specification, so as to make the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer and more specific; and is intended to explain the present invention but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention preferably provides a pedal-type rotary rebound tripod, which includes a pedal assembly 1, a joystick mechanism 2 driven by pressing the pedal assembly 1, and a sawtooth end surface 21 formed at one end of the joystick mechanism 2;

[0027] The serrated end surface 21 protrudes and engages with the inner ratchet cylinder 3; the other end of the ratchet 31 in the cylinder engages with the slot connector 4; the slot connector 4 provides a restoring resisting elastic force with the aid of the elastic member 5 to make the joystick mechanism 2 rebound after being pressed; the toothed end surface 21 protrudes and presses the ratchet 31 in the cylinder, and the inclined surface 411 of the first groove 41 of the slot connector 4 slides toward the second groove 42, so that the joystick mechanism 2 is switched between a locked position and an unlocked position relative to the push rod 6.

[0028] There are multiple ratchet teeth 3 in the cylinder, and the slot connector 4 and the elastic member 5 are arranged in the lower holding cylinder 7, and the elastic member elastically abuts between the slot connector 4 and the bottom cover 8. When in use,

[0029] The inner ratchet cylinder 3 is connected to a tripod support frame 8 , and a threaded section 81 is formed at the lower portion of the tripod support frame 8 to match the lower holding cylinder 7 .

[0030] An upper holding cylinder 9 is provided above the inner ratchet cylinder 3 , and the push rod 6 is connected to a steering bowl 10 ; a placement cavity 101 for accommodating the push rod holding block 61 is provided in the middle of the steering bowl 10 .

[0031] The upper holding cylinder 9 provides a limit holding cavity 91 for the insertion and locking of the push rod holding block 61. The push rod holding block 61 is driven by the joystick mechanism 2 to move upward into the limit holding cavity so that the upper holding cylinder 9 moves upward and its inner wall tightly presses the steering bowl 10 and locks it.

[0032] The push rod holding block 61 is driven by the operating lever mechanism to move downward into the placement cavity 101 , thereby disengaging from the limiting holding cavity 91 and allowing the upper holding cylinder to form a free conversion state.

[0033] The joystick mechanism 2 includes a guide beam 21, and a travel groove 32 for the beam to move up and down is formed on the upper portion of the inner ratchet cylinder 3. A sphere 44 is provided on the top of the push rod 6 so as to support the upper holding cylinder 9 at different swing angles.

[0034] During use, the upper holding tube 9 can be connected to an independent photographic support. To lock the upper tube, simply step on the pedal assembly 1, causing the joystick mechanism 2 to move downward. The toothed end surface 21 protrudes, pressing against the ratchet 31 within the tube, causing the inclined surface 411 of the first slot 41 of the slot connector 4 to slide toward the second slot 42. This locks the joystick mechanism 2 relative to the push rod 6. This operating principle, similar to the ratchet-like rebound mechanism of a ballpoint pen, results in a locked state when the push rod 6 is raised to its highest position. To unlock the upper tube, simply step on the pedal assembly 1 again, causing the push rod support block 61 to move downward into the placement cavity 101, thereby disengaging the restraining support cavity 91 and allowing the upper tube to freely transition. This simple structure offers enhanced stability and minimizes operational interference. Manual re-tightening or re-tightening is unnecessary, freeing up hands and saving time and steps. The upper tube is particularly suitable for situations requiring quick adjustment of shooting angle and height, such as outdoor candid photography or sports photography. It effectively reduces shaking caused by improper manual adjustment or loose locking, improves shooting quality, and makes the tripod more compact and lightweight when adjusting the angle and storing. It has superior performance in terms of technology, economy and practicality.

[0035] Although the present invention has been described in terms of the preferred embodiments described above, there may be variations, substitutions, and equivalents that fall within the scope of the present invention; there may also be multiple alternative ways to implement the present invention. Therefore, it is intended that the appended claims be interpreted as including all such variations, substitutions, and equivalents that fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and that improvements and substitutions based on the present invention using known techniques in the art fall within the scope of protection of the present invention and should be defined by the claims.
