[0002] During the camera shooting process, it is necessary to move at high speed along with the picture. Due to the uneven road surface, the shooting picture is unstable, resulting in poor shooting effect. In order to assist the staff to better perform the shooting work, the camera's shock absorber is generally used for stable shooting, and a shock-absorbing structure is used to fix the camera, such as patent number CN202311231393.2. This patent discloses a shock-absorbing head and a shock-absorbing mechanism. The shock-absorbing head includes a connecting part, a movable part, a supporting part and a shock-absorbing structure. The shock-absorbing structure is movably connected to the connecting part and the movable part respectively. One end of the movable part is movably connected to the connecting part, and the other end is movably connected to the supporting part, and the end of the shock-absorbing structure away from the connecting part is movably connected to the supporting part. Although the shock-absorbing structure of this patent can reduce the vibration transmission of the vehicle body to the camera during shooting and slow down the unstable shaking of the camera during shooting, it is impossible to adjust the amplitude of the shock absorption according to the weight of the camera. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a shock absorbing arm and a shock absorbing mechanism to solve the problems of poor shooting effect caused by camera vibration and inability to adjust the shock absorption size during sports shooting.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A shock absorbing arm comprises a shock absorbing arm body and a base connected to the shock absorbing arm body; the characteristic is that the shock absorbing arm body comprises a shock absorber and a movable component, the shock absorber is movably connected to the movable component, and the shock absorber is provided with an adjusting part that can adjust the shock absorbing stroke size.

[0006] In the present invention, after the camera is installed on the base connected to the shock absorber arm body, the weight brought by the camera causes the movable component and the shock absorber to move accordingly with the camera, so that part of the gravity of the camera can be offset. Through the cooperation of the shock absorber and the movable component, the shaking during shooting can be reduced and the stability of shooting can be improved; and the adjustment part on the shock absorber can be adjusted accordingly according to the weight of the camera carried on the base to achieve a better shock absorption effect.

[0007] Furthermore, the shock absorber includes a guide rod, a shock absorber cylinder, and a shock absorber spring. One end of the guide rod extends into the shock absorber cylinder and is telescopically and movably connected to the shock absorber cylinder, the other end of the guide rod is connected to a movable assembly, the shock absorber spring is disposed around the guide rod and the shock absorber cylinder, an adjustment member is movably connected to the shock absorber cylinder, one end of the adjustment member abuts against the spring, and the end of the shock absorber cylinder away from the guide rod is movably connected to the movable assembly.

[0008] With this structural arrangement, the guide rod extends into the shock-absorbing cylinder to deform in coordination with the shock-absorbing spring. When the shock absorber is in operation, the shock-absorbing cylinder slides on the guide rod, and accordingly, the shock-absorbing spring is also subjected to a force of squeezing and deformation. This allows the shock-absorbing effect to be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjustment member to mitigate the vibration caused by different impact forces.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjusting member is provided with an internal thread, and the outside of the shock absorber cylinder is provided with an external thread. The adjusting member is threadedly connected to the outside of the shock absorber cylinder, and when the adjusting member rotates on the shock absorber cylinder, it can move closer to compress the shock absorber spring or move away to release the shock absorber spring, thereby achieving the function of adjusting the shock absorber spring stroke.

[0010] Furthermore, the shock absorber further comprises a movable seat, the movable seat being movably connected to the movable assembly, and the other end of the guide rod being fixedly connected to the movable seat. By providing the movable seat structure, the movable assembly can cooperate with the shock absorber to move with the camera to better improve the shock absorption effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable component includes a first fixed main arm and a second fixed main arm, and a first connecting shaft. One side of the first fixed main arm and the second fixed main arm is respectively movably connected to the first connecting shaft, and the other side of the first fixed main arm and the second fixed main arm is connected to the base; the first fixed main arm and the second fixed main arm, the first connecting shaft and the base enclose a receiving space for installing the shock absorber.

[0012] When the camera is mounted on the base, the first fixed main arm and the second fixed main arm swing accordingly through the first connecting shaft, transmitting gravity to the shock absorber, thereby slightly reducing the vibration.

[0013] Furthermore, the first connecting shaft includes a first transmission portion, a first fixed portion, and a first movable portion. The first transmission portion, first fixed portion, and first movable portion are integrally connected, with the first fixed portion disposed between the first transmission portion and the first movable portion. The first transmission portion is in transmission connection with one side of the base; the first fixed portion is clamped between the first and second fixed main arms to achieve a movable connection.

[0014] Furthermore, the base is provided with an upper connecting rod and a lower connecting rod for being movably connected with the movable assembly. The upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod are provided on one side of the base.

[0015] Furthermore, the movable component also includes a first swing arm, a second swing arm, and a second connecting shaft. The first swing arm, the second swing arm, and the second connecting shaft are all arranged in the accommodating space. The two ends of the first swing arm are respectively movably connected to one side of the first connecting shaft and the upper connecting rod; the two ends of the second swing arm are respectively movably connected to the other side of the second connecting shaft and the upper connecting rod.

[0016] In this embodiment, both sides of the lower connecting rod are movably connected to the first fixed main arm and the second fixed main arm respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, the second connecting shaft includes a second transmission portion, a second fixed portion, and a second movable portion. The second transmission portion, second fixed portion, and second movable portion are integrally connected, with the second fixed portion disposed between the second transmission portion and the second movable portion. The second transmission portion is connected to one side of the upper link via a second swing arm. The second fixed portion is clamped between the first and second fixed main arms to achieve a movable connection. The second movable portion is movably connected to the movable seat.

[0018] Through such structural coordination, the first connecting shaft and the second connecting shaft act as a movable connection. Under the vibration of the camera's gravity, the first fixed main arm and the second fixed main arm, the first swing arm and the second swing arm can move accordingly with the movement of the camera. During this movement, the camera's gravity can be buffered to achieve a stable shooting effect.

[0019] Furthermore, a fixing seat is provided on the accommodating space, and the fixing seat fixedly connects the first fixed main arm and the second fixed main arm, so that the shock absorbing mechanism will not become loose due to multiple vibrations during the movement.

[0020] A shock-absorbing mechanism comprises a photographic assembly, a mounting assembly, and a shock-absorbing arm. The photographic assembly is fixedly connected to a base, and the mounting assembly is fixedly connected to a movable assembly. By arranging a shock-absorbing arm with a shock-absorbing spring on the shock-absorbing mechanism, the spring's travel can be adjusted to achieve shock absorption, depending on the weight of the camera and other photographic components. The mounting assembly is used to mount the photographic assembly and shock-absorbing arm in the desired working environment.

[0021] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that, compared with the prior art, in the present invention, after the camera is installed on the base connected to the shock absorber arm body, the weight brought by the camera causes the movable component and the shock absorber to move accordingly with the camera, so that part of the gravity of the camera can be offset. Through the cooperation of the shock absorber and the movable component, the shaking during shooting can be reduced and the stability of shooting can be improved; and the adjustment part on the shock absorber can be adjusted accordingly according to the weight of the camera carried on the base to achieve a better shock absorption effect.
