[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a universal bracket structure and a camera to solve the technical problems of the existing universal bracket structure having a large number of parts and complicated assembly.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is:

[0005] The present application provides a universal bracket structure, comprising:

[0006] A first component includes a ball head;

[0007] The bracket cover includes an upper cover body and a locking piece. The upper cover body and the locking piece are integrally formed. An insertion port is provided at one end of the upper cover body. The insertion port is communicated with the internal cavity of the upper cover body. The locking piece is located in the internal cavity. The connection position between the locking piece and the upper cover body is close to the insertion port. The ball head can be inserted into the internal cavity from the insertion port, and the locking piece clamps the ball head.

[0008] In the present application, the insertion port side of the upper cover body and the locking piece are deformed when the ball head is squeezed, so that the ball head can be inserted into the internal cavity from the insertion port, thereby providing the possibility of assembling the first component on the upper cover body when the first component is an integrated structure, so as to help reduce the number of parts of the universal bracket structure; in addition, the first component is directly inserted from the insertion port of the upper cover body, and the assembly of the first component is simple, avoiding the cumbersome assembly of the universal bracket in the prior art.

[0009] In some implementations, the locking member includes a plurality of ribs, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the insertion port, and one end of the rib close to the insertion port is connected to the upper cover body.

[0010] The locking member provided by this implementation method not only enables the ball head to be inserted into the internal cavity from the insertion opening of the upper cover body, but also has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0011] In some implementations, the universal bracket structure also includes a bracket pressure plate, which is inserted into the internal cavity from the end of the upper cover body away from the insertion port, and the end of each rib away from the insertion port is abutted against the bracket pressure plate, and the bracket pressure plate squeezes each rib in a direction away from the central axis of the insertion port.

[0012] In this implementation, the bracket pressure plate is provided to squeeze the ribs in a direction away from the central axis of the insertion port, so that the ball head is not easily dislodged from the upper cover body.

[0013] In some implementations, the bracket pressure plate includes a connecting portion and an abutting portion, which are integrally formed. The abutting portion is arranged at one end of the connecting portion, the circumferential side surface of the abutting portion abuts against one end of the rib, and the connecting portion is connected to the upper cover body.

[0014] The structure of the bracket pressure plate provided by this implementation method is that the connecting part and the abutting part are formed in one piece, so as to help reduce the number of parts; in addition, the abutting part can not only abut against one end of the rib, making it difficult for the ball head to fall off from the upper cover body, but also the abutting part has a limiting effect on the direction in which the ball head extends into the upper cover body.

[0015] In some implementations, an end surface of the abutting portion facing away from the connecting portion includes an arc surface, the arc surface is recessed toward the connecting portion, and the arc surface cooperates with the ball head.

[0016] In this implementation, by providing an arc surface, the abutment portion can not only contact the ball head to limit the position of the ball head in the upper cover body, but also does not affect the rotation of the ball head relative to the upper cover body.

[0017] In some implementations, one or more connecting columns are provided on the inner side surface of the upper cover body, and the connecting columns are integrally formed with the upper cover body; an avoidance groove is provided on the end surface where the connecting portion and the abutting portion are connected, and the free ends of the connecting columns are respectively located in the corresponding avoidance grooves, and connecting holes are provided on the bottom surface of the avoidance groove and the connecting columns, and the connecting parts pass through the connecting holes on the connecting portion and the corresponding connecting holes on the connecting columns in sequence.

[0018] In this implementation, the connecting part and the upper cover body are detachably connected by the connecting member passing through the connecting hole on the connecting part and the corresponding connecting hole on the connecting column in sequence. The connection structure between the connecting part and the upper cover body is simple, and the assembly of the connecting part and the upper cover body is convenient.

[0019] In some implementations, one or more limit blocks are provided on the inner side surface of the upper cover body. The limit block is integrally formed with the upper cover body, and the end surface where the connecting portion and the abutting portion are connected contacts the limit block to limit the depth of insertion of the connecting portion into the bracket upper cover.

[0020] In this implementation, a limit block is provided to limit the depth of insertion of the connecting portion into the bracket upper cover, thereby facilitating positioning and installation of the bracket pressure plate on the bracket upper cover.

[0021] In some implementations, one or more mounting posts are provided on the inner side surface of the upper cover body. The mounting posts are integrally formed with the upper cover body. An assembly through hole is provided on the mounting post, and one end of the assembly through hole extends to the outer circumferential side surface of the upper cover body; part of the circumferential side surface of the connecting portion is recessed inward to form a avoidance opening for avoiding the mounting posts.

[0022] In this implementation, mounting posts are provided to facilitate cooperation with screws, bolts, or pins to stably fix the universal bracket structure on the mounting surface.

[0023] In some implementations, part of the edge of the insertion port is recessed downward to form an avoidance gap; taking a surface perpendicular to the central axis of the insertion port as a reference surface, the projection of one end of the upper cover body where the insertion port is provided onto the reference surface is an arc shape, and the projection of one end of the upper cover body away from the insertion port onto the reference surface is a polygon with chamfered corners; along the path from one end of the insertion port to the end away from the insertion port, the circumferential outer surface of the upper cover body is inclined in a direction away from the central axis of the insertion port; the circumferential side surface of the connecting portion matches the shape of the inner side surface of the upper cover body.

[0024] In this implementation, an avoidance gap is provided so that when the universal bracket structure is applied to the camera, the camera's shooting angle requirements are met; the cross-sectional area of ​​the upper cover body gradually increases from the end close to the insertion port to the end away from the insertion port, which is not only beautiful but also facilitates the stable installation of the universal bracket structure on the mounting surface; by setting the circumferential side surface of the connecting part to match the shape of the inner side surface of the upper cover body, it has a positioning effect when the bracket pressure plate is inserted into the upper cover body.

[0025] In some implementations, the universal bracket structure further includes a decorative plate, which is disposed on a side of the upper cover body facing away from the first component, and is connected to the upper cover body and / or the bracket pressure plate.

[0026] In this implementation, by providing a decorative plate on the side of the upper cover body facing away from the first component, the aesthetics of the universal bracket structure can be improved.

[0027] In some implementations, the first component further includes a support rod, a ball head is provided at one end of the support rod, the support rod and the ball head are integrally formed, and the support rod is used to connect to the fuselage.

[0034] The camera is constructed as follows: after the ball head is inserted into the internal cavity of the upper cover body from the outside through the insertion port, the bracket pressure plate is locked with the bottom of the upper cover body so that the ball head is subjected to the radial clamping force applied by the ribs and the longitudinal support force applied by the bracket pressure plate at the same time, thereby limiting the rotational position of the ball head.

[0035] In some implementations, the thickness of the ribs gradually decreases in the longitudinal direction; wherein, after the bracket pressure plate is locked with the upper cover body, the bracket pressure plate partially extends into the ends of multiple ribs so that the inner wall of the end of the rib is connected to the outer wall of the bracket pressure plate, and the ball head is then supported by the bracket pressure plate.

[0036] In some implementations, the surface where the bracket pressing plate meets the ball head is an arc surface, and the bracket pressing plate is locked and connected to the upper cover body via longitudinally extending screws.

[0037] In some implementations, the bracket pressure plate includes an abutment portion, which is a longitudinal protrusion. After the abutment portion extends into the end of the rib, the rib applies a horizontal clamping force to the abutment portion. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0080] A camera gimbal is a structure used to support and adjust the camera's position. It can rotate and tilt freely in multiple directions to meet different shooting angles. Common camera gimbals consist of a cover, base, ball head, and rod. To assemble a gimbal, insert the ball head from the bottom of the cover, then attach the rod to the ball head from the top. Finally, attach the base and other components to the cover.

[0081] The club is connected to a mounting structure for connecting to a camera. When using a camera universal bracket, the universal bracket is fixed to a mounting surface such as a wall, and the camera is connected to the mounting structure on the club to adjust the camera angle.

[0082] The structure of the bracket cover restricts the ball head and the club to be made into separate structures, which are assembled from opposite sides of the bracket cover. This not only makes the assembly complicated, but also increases the number of parts.

[0083] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a universal bracket structure 100 and a camera. Figure 1-Figure 2 The universal bracket structure 100 includes a first component 1 and a bracket upper cover 2. An insertion port 211 is provided at one end of the upper cover main body 21. The first component 1 can be inserted into the bracket upper cover 2 through the insertion port 211, thereby providing the possibility for the first component 1 to be assembled on the upper cover main body 21 when the first component 1 is an integrated structure, thereby reducing the number of parts of the universal bracket structure 100; in addition, the first component 1 is directly inserted into the insertion port 211 of the upper cover main body 21, and the assembly of the first component 1 is simple and efficient, avoiding the cumbersome assembly of the universal bracket in the prior art.

[0084] Next, please also refer to Figures 1-21 , the universal bracket structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described in detail.

[0085] The universal bracket structure 100 provided in this embodiment includes a first component 1 and a bracket cover 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , schematically showing the first component 1 and the bracket cover 2, wherein, Figure 1 The diagram shows that the first component 1 and the bracket cover 2 are in a connected state. Figure 2 It shows the state where the first component 1 is separated from the bracket cover 2.

[0086] See Figure 2 The first component 1 includes a ball head 11. When the first component 1 and the bracket cover 2 are connected, the ball head 11 of the first component 1 is inserted into the bracket cover 2.

[0087] The bracket cover 2 includes a cover body 21 and a locking member 22. Figure 2 An insertion port 211 is provided at one end of the upper cover body 21, and an internal cavity 212 is formed inside the upper cover body 21, and the insertion port 211 is connected to the internal cavity 212. Figure 2 , showing the locking member 22. The locking member 22 is located in the internal cavity 212. Figure 2 The locking member 22 can be seen from the insertion port 211 side, that is, one end of the locking member 22 is close to the insertion port 211 of the upper cover body 21.

[0088] In this embodiment, the upper cover body 21 and the locking member 22 are integrally formed to reduce the number of parts; preferably, the upper cover body 21 and the locking member 22 are integrally cast.

[0089] In this embodiment, the ball head 11 can be inserted into the internal cavity 212 from the insertion opening 211 , and when the ball head 11 is located in the internal cavity 212 , the locking member 22 clamps the ball head 11 .

[0090] The diameter of the insertion opening 211 is smaller than the diameter of the ball head 11. When the ball head 11 is inserted from the insertion opening 211 into the internal cavity 212 of the upper cover body 21, the insertion opening 211 side of the upper cover body 21 is deformed. In addition, because one end of the locking member 22 is close to the insertion opening 211 of the upper cover body 21, the locking member 22 is also deformed under the pressure of the upper cover body 21, so that the ball head 11 can be inserted from the insertion opening 211 side into the internal cavity 212 of the upper cover body 21. When the ball head 11 is inserted into place, the locking member 22 clamps the ball head 11. When the first component 1 is rotated, the ball head 11 overcomes the force of the locking member 22 under the action of external force and can rotate relative to the bracket upper cover 2. When the force applied to the first component 1 is removed, the locking member 22 clamps the ball head 11, so that the first component 1 stays in the rotated position.

[0091] In this embodiment, the thickness of the upper cover body 21 on the side of the insertion opening 211 (the thickness of the upper cover body 21 formed between the inner wall surface of the internal cavity 212 and the outer surface of the upper cover body 21) will affect the deformation of the upper cover body 21. That is, the greater the thickness value of the upper cover body 21 on the side of the insertion opening 211, the less likely it is to deform, and the less likely the ball head 11 is to be inserted into the upper cover body 21. The connection area between the upper cover body 21 and the locking member 22 will also affect the insertion of the ball head 11 from the insertion opening 211 into the upper cover body 21. When the connection area between the upper cover body 21 and the locking member 22 is larger, the strength of the bracket upper cover 2 will increase, and the more difficult it is to insert the ball head 11 into the upper cover body 21. The strength of the locking member 22 will also affect the insertion of the ball head 11 from the insertion opening 211 into the upper cover body 21. The stronger the locking member 22 is and the less likely it is to deform, the more difficult it is to insert the ball head 11 into the upper cover body 21.

[0092] Therefore, in this embodiment, while ensuring that the universal bracket structure 100 can be used normally, in order to facilitate the insertion of the ball head 11 into the upper cover body 21 through the insertion port 211, the thickness of the upper cover body 21 on the side of the insertion port 211, the connection area between the upper cover body 21 and the locking member 22, and the strength of the locking member 22 can be limited. For example, while ensuring that the universal bracket structure 100 can be used normally, the thickness of the upper cover body 21 on the side of the insertion port 211 can be reduced, and / or the connection area between the upper cover body 21 and the locking member 22 can be reduced, and / or the strength of the locking member 22 can be reduced, so as to facilitate the insertion of the ball head 11 into the upper cover body 21 through the insertion port 211.

[0093] The gimbal structure 100 provided in this embodiment can be applied to a camera. The camera can be mounted on the first component 1 and the first component 1 can be rotated to meet the camera's different shooting angle requirements. Of course, the gimbal structure 100 provided in this embodiment is not limited to use in cameras and can also be applied to other devices requiring angle adjustment.

[0094] In this embodiment, the insertion port 211 side of the upper cover body 21 and the locking member 22 are deformed when the ball head 11 is squeezed, so that the ball head 11 can be inserted into the internal cavity 212 from the insertion port 211, thereby providing the possibility for the first component 1 to be assembled on the upper cover body 21 when the first component 1 is an integrated structure, so as to help reduce the number of parts of the universal bracket structure 100; in addition, the first component 1 is directly inserted from the insertion port 211 of the upper cover body 21, and the assembly of the first component 1 is simple and efficient, thereby avoiding the cumbersome assembly of the universal bracket in the prior art.

[0095] In one embodiment, see Figure 2-Figure 3 The first component 1 further includes a support rod 12, a ball head 11 is arranged at one end of the support rod 12, the support rod 12 and the ball head 11 are integrally formed, and the support rod 12 is used to connect to the camera body.

[0096] See Figure 2-Figure 3 , schematically shows the ball head 11 and the support rod 12. In this embodiment, the support rod 12 and the ball head 11 are integrally formed, thereby reducing the number of parts of the universal bracket structure 100.

[0097] See Figure 3 the support rod 12 includes a connecting shaft section 121 and a disc-shaped section 122, the ends of the connecting shaft section 121 are respectively connected to the ball head 11 and the disc-shaped section 122, and the disc-shaped section 122 is used to connect to the fuselage.

[0098] Specifically, the first component 1 may be made of polycarbonate (PC).

[0099] Preferably, see Figure 3 A plurality of openings 111 are provided at one end of the ball head 11 away from the connecting shaft section 121 to reduce the weight of the first component 1 , save materials, and save costs.

[0100] In this embodiment, by forming the support rod 12 and the ball head 11 integrally, the number of parts of the universal bracket structure 100 can be reduced, making the assembly of the first component 1 simpler.

[0101] Regarding the specific structure of the locking member 22, in one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The locking member 22 includes a plurality of ribs 221 , which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the insertion port 211 , and one end of the rib 221 close to the insertion port 211 is connected to the upper cover body 21 .

[0102] See Figure 4 , showing a plurality of ribs 221 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the insertion opening 211, preferably, the plurality of ribs 221 are evenly spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the insertion opening 211; see Figure 5 , indicating that one end of the rib 221 close to the insertion port 211 is connected to the upper cover body 21.

[0103] See Figure 5-Figure 7 , which illustrates the process of inserting the ball head 11 of the first component 1 into the upper cover body 21; see Figure 5 , one end of the ball head 11 has just extended into the insertion opening 211 . At this time, the ball head 11 has not yet made contact with the upper cover body 21 and the rib 221 .

[0104] See Figure 6 , half of the ball head 11 is inserted into the upper cover body 21. Since the diameter of the insertion opening 211 is smaller than the diameter of the ball head 11, the ball head 11 squeezes the insertion opening 211 side of the upper cover body 21 and squeezes the rib 221 to deform it; see Figure 6 , indicating the central axis L of the insertion port 211, and the dotted arrow A roughly indicates the deformation direction of the insertion port 211 side of the upper cover body 21 and the end where the rib 221 is connected to the upper cover body 21, that is, the insertion port 211 side of the upper cover body 21 and the end where the rib 221 is connected to the upper cover body 21 are deformed in the direction away from the central axis L of the insertion port 21, increasing the diameter of the insertion port 211, so that the ball head 11 can continue to be inserted into the upper cover body 21.

[0105] See Figure 7 , illustrates the situation that the ball head 11 is inserted into place. At this time, most of the ball head 11 has been inserted into the upper cover body 21. Figure 7The ball head 11 is surrounded by the rib 221, and the ball head 11 squeezes the rib 221. The contact area between the rib 221 and the ball head 11 is deformed in the direction away from the central axis L of the distal insertion port 211, so that the ball head 11 is clamped on the rib 221, so that the first component 1 remains at the rotated angular position.

[0106] In this embodiment, the locking member 22 includes a plurality of ribs 221, and the plurality of ribs 221 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the insertion port 211, so that there is no locking member 22 connected to the upper cover body 21 between two adjacent ribs 221 on the side close to the insertion port 211. Thus, the strength of the upper cover body 21 on the side of the insertion port 211 can be reduced, so that the side of the insertion port 211 of the upper cover body 21 can be deformed when the ball head 11 is inserted, which is conducive to the ball head 11 being inserted into the internal cavity 212 from the insertion port 211; that is, the structure of the locking member 22 provided in this embodiment not only has a certain strength, but also can ensure that the ball head 11 is smoothly inserted from the insertion port 211 and can clamp the ball head 11.

[0107] The structure of the locking member 22 provided in this embodiment enables the ball head 11 to be inserted into the internal cavity 212 from the insertion opening 211 of the upper cover body 21 while having a simple structure and being easy to manufacture.

[0108] In the example based on the locking member 22 including a plurality of ribs 221, it is preferred that the ribs 221 have the same shape and size. Regarding the number of ribs 221 on the upper cover body 21, three, four, five, six, seven, etc. can be provided. Figure 4 , which illustrates that eight ribs 221 are provided on the upper cover body 21 .

[0109] See Figure 4 The rib 221 is an arc-shaped plate, and the bending direction of the rib 221 is along the circumferential direction of the insertion opening 211 so as to cooperate with the ball head 11.

[0110] See Figure 4 Preferably, the rib 221 is vertically arranged, that is, one end of the rib 221 is connected to the upper cover body 21 near the insertion port 211, and the other end extends vertically into the internal cavity 212 of the upper cover body 21 along a direction parallel to the central axis L of the insertion port 211.

[0111] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 The universal bracket structure 100 also includes a bracket pressure plate 3, which is inserted into the internal cavity 212 from the end of the upper cover body 21 away from the insertion port 211. The end of each rib 221 away from the insertion port 211 is in contact with the bracket pressure plate 3, and the bracket pressure plate 3 squeezes the rib 221 in the direction away from the central axis of the insertion port 211.

[0112] See Figure 8 , schematically shows that the bracket pressing plate 3 is inserted into the internal cavity 212 of the upper cover body 21. The bracket pressing plate 3 is inserted into the space surrounded by the ribs 221, see Figure 8 The circumferential outer side surface of the bracket pressing plate 3 contacts the side surface of the rib 221 facing the ball head 11. The bracket pressing plate 3 presses the rib 221 in a direction away from the central axis L of the insertion port 211. Figure 8 The dotted arrow A roughly illustrates the deformation direction of the rib 221 away from the insertion port 211. According to the force balance of the rib 221, when the end of the rib 221 away from the insertion port 211 is deformed in the direction away from the central axis L of the insertion port 211, the end of the rib 221 close to the insertion port 211 is subjected to the opposite force, which squeezes the ball head 11, making it difficult for the ball head 11 to fall out of the upper cover body 21. Figure 8 The dotted arrow B roughly indicates the direction of the reverse force at the end of the rib 221 close to the insertion port 211 .

[0113] In this embodiment, it is preferred that one end of the bracket pressing plate 3 facing the ball head 11 contacts the ball head 11 to further limit the direction in which the ball head 11 extends into the upper cover body 21 .

[0114] In this embodiment, the bracket pressing plate 3 is provided to press the rib 221 in a direction away from the central axis L of the insertion opening 211 , so that the ball head 11 is not easily dislodged from the upper cover body 21 .

[0115] In one embodiment, see Figure 9 The bracket pressure plate 3 includes a connecting portion 31 and abutting portion 32, which are integrally formed. The abutting portion 32 is arranged at one end of the connecting portion 31, and the circumferential side surface of the abutting portion 32 abuts against one end of the rib 221. The connecting portion 31 is connected to the upper cover body 21.

[0116] See Figure 9 , schematically shows that the bracket pressing plate 3 and the first component 1 are respectively located on both sides of the bracket upper cover 2, and the bracket pressing plate 3 and the first component 1 are respectively inserted through the two ends of the bracket upper cover 2.

[0117] See Figure 9 , schematically illustrating the connection portion 31 and the abutment portion 32 of the bracket pressure plate 3. By providing the connection portion 31 and the abutment portion 32 as an integral part, the number of parts can be reduced. In this embodiment, the connection portion 31 and the abutment portion 32 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the connection portion 31 and the abutment portion 32 can be provided as two connected parts, such as by plugging.

[0118] In this embodiment, the circumferential side surface of the abutting portion 32 abuts against one end of the rib 221 . The abutting portion 32 is preferably cylindrical so as to exert the same pressure on each rib 221 .

[0119] In this embodiment, the connection portion 31 is connected to the upper cover body 21, and the connection portion 31 and the upper cover body 21 can be set to be detachable; or, the connection portion 31 and the upper cover body 21 can be set to be non-detachable, for example, adhesively connected.

[0120] See Figure 10-12 , which illustrates a schematic diagram of the process of inserting the bracket pressing plate 3 into the upper cover body 21; Figure 10-12 It can be seen that when the bracket pressing plate 3 is inserted into the upper cover body 21, the ball head 11 has already been inserted into the upper cover body 21 from the side of the insertion opening 211. In other words, when assembling the universal bracket structure 100 provided in this embodiment, the first component 1 is first inserted into the upper cover body 21, and then the bracket pressing plate 3 is inserted into the upper cover body 21 from the side of the upper cover body 21 away from the insertion opening 211. After the bracket pressing plate 3 is inserted into the upper cover body 21, the bracket pressing plate 3 is arranged to press the ribs 221 in a direction away from the central axis L of the insertion opening 211, so that the ball head 11 is not easily dislodged from the upper cover body 21.

[0121] See Figure 10 , indicating the state when the support pressing plate 3 is not inserted into the upper cover body 21. At this time, the support pressing plate 3 is facing the first component 1. Figure 11 , which shows that the support plate 3 is partially inserted into the upper cover body 21. At this time, the abutment portion 32 of the support plate 3 has not yet been inserted into the space surrounded by the ribs 221. Figure 12 , which illustrates the state where the bracket pressing plate 3 is inserted into place. At this time, the abutting portion 32 of the bracket pressing plate 3 is inserted into the space surrounded by the ribs 221.

[0122] The structure of the bracket pressure plate 3 provided in this embodiment is that the connecting portion 31 and the abutting portion 32 are integrally formed, so as to reduce the number of parts; in addition, the abutting portion 32 can not only abut against one end of the rib 221 so that the ball head 11 is not easily detached from the upper cover body 21, but also the abutting portion 32 has a limiting effect on the direction in which the ball head 11 extends into the upper cover body 21.

[0123] Regarding the abutment portion 32, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 16 The end surface of the abutting portion 32 away from the connecting portion 31 includes an arc surface 321, which is concave toward the connecting portion 31 and fits with the ball head 11. Figure 16 , showing the arc surface 321; see Figure 12 , which illustrates that the arc surface 321 is in contact with the ball head 11.

[0124] In this embodiment, by providing the arc surface 321, the abutment portion 32 can not only achieve contact with the ball head 11 to limit the direction of the ball head 11 extending into the upper cover body 21, but also the abutment portion 32 does not affect the rotation of the ball head 11 relative to the upper cover body 21.

[0125] In one example, see Figure 16 The end surface of the abutting portion 32 away from the connecting portion 31 includes not only a circular arc surface 321 but also an annular plane 322 . The annular plane 322 is arranged around the periphery of the circular arc surface 321 , and two recesses 323 are symmetrically arranged on the annular plane 322 .

[0126] Regarding the connection portion 31 of the bracket pressing plate 3, in one embodiment, see Figure 12 , the end of the connecting portion 31 away from the abutting portion 32 does not protrude from the upper cover body 21. Preferably, the end of the connecting portion 31 away from the abutting portion 32 is flush with the end surface of the corresponding side of the upper cover body 21.

[0127] In this embodiment, by disposing the connecting portion 31 in the upper cover body 21 , the volume of the gimbal structure 100 can be reduced and the aesthetics of the gimbal structure 100 can be improved.

[0128] In one embodiment, see Figure 13 The universal bracket structure 100 further includes a decorative plate 9 , which is disposed on a side of the upper cover body 21 away from the first component 1 , and is connected to the upper cover body 21 and / or the bracket pressing plate 3 .

[0129] See Figure 13 , schematically shows the decorative panel 9 arranged on the side of the upper cover body 21 away from the first component 1. The decorative panel 9 mainly serves an aesthetic purpose. Therefore, it is preferred that the decorative panel 9 at least covers the bracket pressing plate 3. At the same time, it is preferred that the outer contour of the decorative panel 9 does not protrude from the outer contour of the end of the upper cover body 21 away from the first component 1 in the horizontal direction.

[0130] Regarding the fixing of the decorative plate 9 , the decorative plate 9 may be connected to the upper cover body 21 , or the decorative plate 9 may be connected to the bracket pressing plate 3 , or the decorative plate 9 may be connected to both the upper cover body 21 and the bracket pressing plate 3 .

[0131] In this embodiment, the decorative plate 9 is preferably adhered to the upper cover body 21 and / or the bracket pressing plate 3, so that the fixing method of the decorative plate 9 is simple.

[0132] Specifically, the decorative plate 9 can be made of polycarbonate.

[0133] In this embodiment, by providing a decorative plate 9 on the side of the upper cover body 21 away from the first component 1 , the aesthetics of the universal bracket structure 100 can be improved.

[0134] Regarding the shape of the upper cover body 21, in one embodiment, see Figure 14 Part of the edge of the insertion opening 211 is recessed downward to form an avoidance gap 213 .

[0135] When the first component 1 is rotated, the connecting shaft section 121 of the first component 1 can be rotated to the avoidance notch 213, so that the axis of the first component 1 is about 90° to the axis of the bracket cover 2, so that when the universal bracket structure 100 provided in this embodiment is applied to a camera, the camera's requirements for shooting angles can be met.

[0136] See Figure 14 The cross-sectional area of ​​the upper cover body 21 gradually increases from the end close to the insertion port 211 to the end away from the insertion port 211. Specifically, with the plane perpendicular to the central axis of the insertion port 211 as the reference plane, the projection of the end of the upper cover body 21 where the insertion port 211 is set to the reference plane is an arc shape, and the projection of the end of the upper cover body 21 away from the insertion port 211 to the reference plane is a rounded polygon; along the direction from one end of the insertion port 211 to the end away from the insertion port 211, the circumferential outer surface of the upper cover body 21 is inclined in the direction away from the central axis of the insertion port 211.

[0137] See Figure 14 , indicating that the shape of the end of the upper cover body 21 away from the insertion port 211 is a regular quadrilateral with four rounded corners. Of course, the shape of the end of the upper cover body 21 away from the insertion port 211 is not limited to a regular quadrilateral, and can also be other polygonal shapes.

[0138] In this embodiment, the projection of one end of the upper cover body 21 where the insertion port 211 is provided onto the reference surface is an arc shape, where the arc shape refers to the shape of the outer contour of the projection; the projection of one end of the upper cover body 21 away from the insertion port 211 onto the reference surface is a rounded polygon, where the rounded polygon also refers to the shape of the outer contour of the projection.

[0139] Preferably, the shape of the inner side of the upper cover body 21 is the same as the shape of the outer side of the upper cover body 21, that is, the projection of the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21 close to the insertion port 211 to the reference plane is an arc shape, and the projection of the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21 away from the insertion port 211 to the reference plane is a rounded polygon, and along the direction from one end of the insertion port 211 to the end away from the insertion port 211, the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21 is inclined in the direction away from the center axis of the insertion port 211.

[0140] In this embodiment, the end of the upper cover body 21 facing away from the insertion port 211 is used to connect to a mounting surface such as a wall. The cross-sectional area of ​​the upper cover body 21 gradually increases from the end close to the insertion port 211 to the end away from the insertion port 211, which is not only beautiful but also facilitates the stable installation of the universal bracket structure 100 on the mounting surface.

[0141] In one embodiment, see Figure 16 The shape of the circumferential side surface of the connecting portion 31 matches the shape of the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21.

[0142] In this embodiment, the circumferential side surface of the connecting portion 31 is in contact with the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21 ; or, there is a gap between the circumferential side surface of the connecting portion 31 and the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21 .

[0143] See Figure 16 The cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting portion 31 gradually increases from one end close to the abutting portion 32 to the other end away from the abutting portion 32 .

[0144] In this embodiment, the circumferential side surfaces of the connecting portion 31 are matched with the shape of the inner side surfaces of the upper cover body 21, so that a structure connecting the connecting portion 31 and the upper cover body 21 is provided. At the same time, the circumferential side surfaces of the connecting portion 31 are matched with the shape of the inner side surfaces of the upper cover body 21, which has a positioning effect when the bracket pressure plate 3 is inserted into the upper cover body 21.

[0145] Regarding the connection structure between the upper cover body 21 and the connection portion 31, in one embodiment, see Figure 15 , one or more connecting posts 4 are provided on the inner side of the upper cover body 21, and the connecting posts 4 are integrally formed with the upper cover body 21. Figure 16 The end surface where the connecting portion 31 and the abutting portion 32 are connected is provided with an avoidance groove 311, see Figure 20 , the free ends of the connecting columns 4 are located in the corresponding avoidance grooves 311, see Figure 15 and Figure 16 The bottom surface of the avoidance groove 311 and the connecting column 4 are both provided with connecting holes 5, see Figure 20 The connecting member 6 passes through the connecting hole 5 on the connecting portion 31 and the corresponding connecting hole 5 on the connecting column 4 in sequence.

[0146] In this embodiment, the connecting member 6 passes through the connecting hole 5 on the connecting portion 31 and the corresponding connecting hole 5 on the connecting column 4 in sequence to achieve a detachable connection between the connecting portion 31 and the upper cover body 21 .

[0147] The connecting member 6 is preferably a screw or a bolt, and a thread is provided in the connecting hole 5 on the connecting column 4 , so that the connecting member 6 and the connecting column 4 form a threaded connection.

[0148] Preferably, see Figure 15 , two connecting columns 4 are provided on the inner side of the upper cover body 21, and the two connecting columns 4 are symmetrically arranged; the number of the connecting columns 4 corresponds to the number of the avoidance grooves 311, so two avoidance grooves 311 are provided on the connecting portion 31, see Figure 16 , schematically shows two symmetrically arranged avoidance grooves 311 on the connecting portion 31 , and the free ends of the connecting columns 4 are respectively located in the corresponding avoidance grooves 311 .

[0149] See Figure 20 The free end of the connecting column 4 is a plane, and the end of the connecting column 4 connected to the upper cover body 21 matches the shape of the upper cover body 21.

[0150] See Figure 20 The connecting hole 5 provided on the bottom surface of the avoidance groove 311 is a stepped hole, and one end of the connecting member 6 does not protrude from the end of the connecting portion 31 away from the abutting portion 32 .

[0151] In this embodiment, the connecting member 6 passes through the connecting hole 5 on the connecting part 31 and the corresponding connecting hole 5 on the connecting column 4 in sequence to achieve a detachable connection between the connecting part 31 and the upper cover body 21. The connection structure between the connecting part 31 and the upper cover body 21 is simple, and the assembly of the connecting part 31 and the upper cover body 21 is convenient.

[0152] In one embodiment, see Figure 15 A limit block 7 is provided on the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21. The limit block 7 is integrally formed with the upper cover body 21. The end surface where the connecting portion 31 is connected to the abutting portion 32 contacts the limit block 7 to limit the depth of insertion of the connecting portion 31 into the bracket upper cover 2.

[0153] See Figure 15 , indicating the limit block 7; see Figure 18 , is a cross-sectional view of the bracket cover 2 and the bracket pressing plate 3, from Figure 18 It can be seen from the figure that the end surface of the connecting portion 31 where the abutting portion 32 is provided is in contact with the limiting block 7 .

[0154] In this embodiment, one or more limit blocks 7 are provided on the inner side of the upper cover body 21, that is, the limit blocks 7 may be one, two, three, four, etc., see Figure 15 , illustrating that four limit blocks 7 are provided on the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21, and from the shape of the upper cover body 21, the four limit blocks 7 correspond to the four corner positions, so as to facilitate contact with the four corners of the end face of the connecting portion 31.

[0155] Regarding the shape of the limiting block 7 , it is preferred that the surface where the limiting block 7 fits the connecting portion 31 is a plane, and the end of the limiting block 7 connected to the upper cover body 21 matches the shape of the upper cover body 21 .

[0156] In this embodiment, a limit block 7 is provided to limit the insertion depth of the connecting portion 31 into the bracket upper cover 2 , thereby facilitating the positioning and installation of the bracket pressing plate 3 on the bracket upper cover 2 .

[0157] In one embodiment, see Figure 15 , one or more mounting posts 8 are provided on the inner side of the upper cover body 21, the mounting posts 8 are integrally formed with the upper cover body 21, and the mounting posts 8 are provided with assembly through holes 81, see Figure 14 , the assembly through hole 81 extends to the outer peripheral side of the upper cover body 21; see Figure 16 and Figure 17 Part of the circumferential side surface of the connecting portion 31 is recessed inward to form an escape opening 312 for escaping the mounting column 8 .

[0158] See Figure 19 , is a cross-sectional view of the bracket cover 2 and the bracket pressing plate 3, from Figure 19 It can be seen from the figure that the mounting column 8 extends toward the avoidance opening 312 .

[0159] In the example where the gimbal structure 100 also includes the decorative plate 9, see Figure 13 and Figure 19 An arc-shaped notch 91 is provided on the decorative plate 9 , and the arc-shaped notch 91 is used to avoid the assembly through hole 81 on the mounting column 8 to prevent the decorative plate 9 from blocking the assembly through hole 81 .

[0160] Specifically, see Figure 14 , illustrating that the assembly through hole 81 is a stepped hole, that is, the assembly through hole 81 includes a first hole segment and a second hole segment, the first hole segment and the second hole segment are coaxially arranged, the diameter of the first hole segment is larger than the diameter of the second hole segment, and the first hole segment and the second hole segment are arranged in sequence along the direction from the outer side surface of the upper cover body 21 to the free end of the mounting column 8.

[0161] The universal bracket structure 100 provided in this embodiment is fixed to the mounting surface by screws, bolts or pins passing through the assembly through holes 81 and being inserted into the mounting surface such as a wall.

[0162] In this embodiment, one or more mounting columns 8 are provided on the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21. In order to avoid the limit block 7 and the connecting column 4 on the bracket upper cover 2, two mounting columns 8 can be provided on the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21 so as to cooperate with screws, bolts or pins to stably fix the universal bracket structure 100 on the mounting surface.

[0163] See Figure 15, illustrating that two mounting posts 8 on the inner side surface of the upper cover body 21 are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, and two connecting posts 4 are arranged opposite to each other along a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0164] In this embodiment, the end of the mounting post 8 facing away from the outer side of the upper cover body 21 is flat, and the end of the mounting post 8 connected to the upper cover body 21 matches the shape of the upper cover body 21 .

[0165] In this embodiment, the mounting posts 8 are provided to facilitate the cooperation with screws, bolts or pins to stably fix the universal bracket structure 100 on the mounting surface.

[0166] In the example of the gimbal structure 100 including the decorative plate 9, see Figure 15 A limiting groove 10 recessed toward the insertion port 211 is provided on one end of the upper cover body 21 away from the insertion port 211 and / or the end surface of the mounting column 8, and the limiting groove 10 is used to limit the installation position of the decorative panel 9 on the upper cover body 21.

[0167] Preferably, a limiting groove 10 is provided on the end of the upper cover body 21 away from the insertion port 211 and on the end face of the mounting column 8 to form an annular limiting groove 10, which is matched with the shape of the decorative panel 9 and is set in the limiting groove 10 for positioning the installation position of the decorative panel 9 on the upper cover body 21, so as to facilitate the assembly of the decorative panel 9.

[0168] In one embodiment, see Figure 17 A plurality of holes are provided on the end surface of the connecting portion 31 away from the abutting portion 32 to reduce the weight of the bracket pressing plate 3, save materials and save costs.

[0169] In one embodiment, the first component 1 , the bracket upper cover 2 and the bracket pressing plate 3 are all integrally injection molded.

[0170] Since the connecting column 4, the limiting block 7 and the mounting column 8 are integrally formed on the bracket cover 2, in one embodiment, see Figure 9 The universal support structure 100 is composed of six parts, namely, the first component 1, the support upper cover 2, the support pressure plate 3, the decorative plate 9, and two connecting parts 6. The number of parts is small, forming a universal support structure 100 with minimal parts. Figure 20 and Figure 21 , is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the universal bracket structure 100 provided in this embodiment, wherein, Figure 20 It is shown that the axial direction of the first component 1 is collinear with the axis of the bracket cover 2. Figure 21 It shows that the first component 1 is in an inclined state, and the axial direction of the first component 1 intersects with the axis of the bracket upper cover 2.

[0171] Since the connecting column 4, the limit block 7 and the mounting column 8 are integrally formed on the bracket cover 2, in another embodiment, the universal bracket structure 100 is composed of five components, namely the first component 1, the bracket cover 2, the bracket pressure plate 3 and two connecting parts 6. The number of components is small, forming a universal bracket structure 100 with minimal parts.

[0172] This embodiment provides a camera, including:

[0173] body;

[0174] The universal support structure 100 includes:

[0175] The first component 1 includes a ball head 11 and a support rod 12, wherein the ball head 11 and the support rod 12 are integrally formed, and the support rod 12 is used to connect to the fuselage;

[0176] The second component includes an upper cover body 21, a locking member 22, and a bracket pressure plate 3. The upper cover body 21 has an insertion opening 211. The aperture of the insertion opening 211 is no larger than the diameter of the ball head 11. The locking member 22 includes a plurality of ribs 221 extending longitudinally along the insertion opening 211. The plurality of ribs 221 have horizontal gaps therebetween. The upper cover body 21 and the locking member 22 are integrally formed. The upper cover body 21 and the locking member 22 can be referred to as the bracket upper cover 2.

[0177] The camera is constructed as follows: after the ball head 11 is inserted from the outside into the internal cavity 212 of the upper cover body 21 through the insertion port 211, the bracket pressure plate 3 is locked with the bottom of the upper cover body 21. This ensures that the ball head 11 is subjected to radial clamping force from the ribs 221 and longitudinal support force from the bracket pressure plate 3, thereby limiting the rotational position of the ball head 11. During use, the gimbal structure 100 is fixed to the mounting surface, and the camera body is connected to the first assembly 1. By rotating the first assembly 1, the camera can meet different shooting angle requirements.

[0178] In one embodiment, the thickness of the ribs 221 gradually decreases in the longitudinal direction; wherein, after the bracket pressure plate 3 is locked with the upper cover body 21, the bracket pressure plate 3 partially extends into the ends of the multiple ribs 221 so that the inner wall of the end of the rib 221 is connected to the outer wall of the bracket pressure plate 3, and then the ball head 11 is supported by the bracket pressure plate 3.

[0179] Regarding the thickness of the rib 221 gradually decreasing in the longitudinal direction, please refer to Figure 5 From the insertion port 211 to the vertically downward direction, the thickness of the ribs 221 gradually decreases, which is conducive to the bracket pressing plate 3 partially extending into the space surrounded by the ends of multiple ribs 221.

[0180] In one embodiment, refer back to Figure 12The surface where the bracket pressing plate 3 and the ball head 11 meet is an arc surface 321. The bracket pressing plate 3 and the upper cover body 21 are locked and connected via longitudinally extending screws. Figure 20 , schematically shows a connecting member 6, which is a screw, and the bracket pressing plate 3 and the upper cover body 21 are locked and connected via the longitudinally extending connecting member 6.

[0181] See Figure 12 The bracket pressing plate 3 includes an abutting portion 32 , which is a longitudinal protrusion. After the abutting portion 32 extends into the end of the rib 221 , the rib 221 applies a horizontal clamping force to the abutting portion 32 .

[0182] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
