Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] The quick-release adapter structure of the preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-9As shown, the structure includes a base 10 and an adapter 20 located at the top of the base 10. The base 10 is cylindrical and has a coaxial base 30 at its bottom to stabilize the center of gravity and facilitate installation. The top of the adapter 20 has a mounting position 201 for mounting a support frame 40 or an electronic device 500. Specifically, the support frame 40 is a clip that can hold a mobile phone. The adapter 20 has a movable cavity 60. The structure also includes a movable block 70 that is horizontally slidably disposed in the movable cavity 60. Of course, the movable block can also be inclined and slidably disposed in the movable cavity. In practice, the horizontal sliding method is preferred. The movable block 70 has a cubic structure. The movable block 70 can be pushed by setting a groove or protrusion on it to facilitate the operation of the user's fingers. The inner top wall of the movable cavity 60 is provided with a guide groove 62 to guide the reciprocating motion of the movable block 70. Furthermore, the bottom of the movable block 70 is provided with a vertical extension 71. The width of the vertical extension 71 can be less than the width of the movable block 70, or equal to or greater than the width of the movable block 70. In this embodiment, the same method is selected.

[0034] The bottom surface of the movable cavity 60 is provided with a clearance hole 61 to avoid the vertical extension 71. Specifically, the clearance hole 61 is rectangular and its width is the same as the width of the movable block 70, while its length is greater than the length of the movable block in the direction of movement so as to allow the movable block 70 to move back and forth. The base 10 is provided with a slot 11 for inserting the vertical extension 71. The side wall of the vertical extension 71 is provided with a protrusion 711. The inner wall of the slot 11 is provided with a groove 110 that matches the protrusion 711. This structure also includes an elastic abutment 90 that pushes the movable block 70 toward the groove 110. The inner side wall of the movable cavity 60 is provided with an operation window 80 for pushing the movable block 70. During assembly, the vertical extension 71 is inserted into the slot 11. The elastic force of the elastic abutment 90 keeps the protrusion 711 in the groove 110, thereby allowing the adapter 20 to detach from the base 10. When disassembly is required, the movable block 70 can be pushed away from the groove 110 through the operation window to achieve separation.

[0035] The overall structure of this device is simple, convenient, and easy to use. When in use, first fix the base 10 to a fixed object, such as attaching it to the center console of a car, or fixing it to a table with screws, or fixing it to the handlebars of a bicycle / motorcycle with screws. If the user needs to fix a mobile phone, the support bracket 40 and / or electronic device 500 can be connected after being installed on the adapter 20. When it is necessary to quickly disassemble the support bracket 40 and electronic device 500, simply push the movable block 70 through the operating window 80 to disengage the protrusion 711 from the slot 110, and then the electronic device 500 and / or support bracket 40 can be quickly removed together, greatly improving the user experience.

[0036] In this embodiment, there are two movable blocks 70, which are horizontally slidably disposed in the movable cavity 60. The two protrusions 711 are respectively located on opposite sides of the two vertical extensions 71. The two vertical extensions enhance the connection stability of the protrusions 711 after they are engaged with the slot 110 and with the slot. At the same time, the two movable blocks have the same structure, which facilitates the early processing and can reduce manufacturing costs.

[0037] In this embodiment, the elastic abutment 90 is a spring and is located between the two movable blocks 70. The elastic abutment 90 is horizontally arranged and its two ends abut against the two movable blocks 70 respectively. Furthermore, the movable blocks 70 are provided with positioning grooves 72 corresponding to the elastic abutment 90, so as to achieve the purpose of providing a restoring force for the two movable blocks 70 by means of one spring, simplifying the structure and reducing the volume.

[0038] In this embodiment, each of the two movable blocks 70 has a first guide extension arm 7a facing each other and a first guide groove 7b adapted to the first guide extension arm 7a on its opposite sidewall. After assembly, the two first guide extension arms 7a on the two movable blocks are horizontally side by side, playing a guiding and limiting role during the relative horizontal sliding of the two movable blocks. Furthermore, each of the two vertical extensions 71 has a second guide extension arm 7c facing each other and a second guide groove 7d adapted to the second guide extension arm 7c on its side away from the protrusion 711. After assembly, the two second guide extension arms 7c on the two vertical extensions 71 are horizontally side by side, playing a guiding and limiting role during the relative horizontal sliding of the two movable blocks. Specifically, the two first guide extension arms are located directly above the two second guide extension arms. The two first guide extension arms and the two second guide extension arms can guide the two movable blocks 70, preventing the two movable blocks 70 from tilting during the sliding process and increasing stability. Furthermore, if the movable block and the vertical extension have the same width, the first guide extension arm 7a on the movable block 70 can be partially extended beyond the side wall of the movable block 70 in the width direction, so as to limit the movable block within the movable cavity 60 and prevent the movable block 70 from falling down. However, when the width of the vertical extension 71 is less than the width of the movable block 70, such a setting is not necessary.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting position 201 is provided with a conductive terminal 130 so that the support frame 40 with contact terminals and the electronic device can be installed and fixed to realize internal wiring power supply, avoiding the situation where the connecting wires are damaged by external flying wires. The conductive terminal 130 is vertically arranged and its lower end extends into the movable cavity or through the adapter and into the slot 11. Preferably, the conductive terminal is located between the two movable blocks and passes through the space between the two first guide extension arms and the two second guide extension arms in sequence to extend into the slot. The lower end of the conductive terminal 130 extends into the slot through the clearance hole so that other contact terminals 101 can be provided on the bottom surface of the slot to achieve a separable electrical connection with the conductive terminal 130. Specifically, the lower surface of the base is provided with a groove 102 for the contact terminal, and the lower end of the contact terminal 101 extends into the groove 102.

[0040] The movable block is provided with a clearance groove 701 to avoid impacting the conductive terminal 130 during reciprocating motion. Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the conductive terminal 130, a protective dam 140 covering the outer side of the conductive terminal 130 is provided on the inner top wall of the movable cavity. The clearance groove 701 on the movable block is adapted to the outer contour of the protective dam 140. Furthermore, the conductive terminal is a telescopic conductive terminal, which achieves soft contact during conductive connection. The diameters at both ends of the conductive terminal are smaller than the diameter at the middle part so that springs can be installed inside to allow the telescopic needles at both ends to extend and retract axially.

[0041] In this embodiment, the movable block 70 is provided with a horizontal extension 73 that extends out of the operation window 80, so that the user can squeeze it towards the middle with two fingers.

[0042] In this embodiment, vertical guide ribs 120 are provided on both opposite sides of the clearance hole 61 on the lower surface of the adapter 20. When assembled, the opposite sidewalls of the two guide ribs 120 and their two ends are tightly attached to the inner wall of the slot 11, and the opposite sidewalls of the two guide ribs 120 are slidably attached to the vertical extension 71. The guide ribs 120 can not only guide and limit the movement of the movable block 70, but also improve the connection strength when the vertical extension 71 is inserted into the base 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, the adapter 20 includes a lower shell 21 and an upper shell 22 that are opposite each other and enclose a movable cavity 60. The upper shell 22 and the lower shell 21 are detachably connected and are both circular. Generally, the upper shell 22 and the lower shell 21 are detachably connected by a snap fastener to reduce cost and processing difficulty. The operation window 80 is provided on the side wall of the lower shell 21. The upper end of the operation window 80 penetrates the top of the side wall of the lower shell 21 to facilitate the installation of the movable block 70 and the horizontal extension 73.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting position is provided with a connector 50 for connecting the support frame 40 or electronic devices. Specifically, the connector 50 is a bolt, with its head located inside the movable cavity 60 and its threaded end penetrating the upper shell 22. Furthermore, a countersunk hole 621 adapted to the head of the connector 50 is provided on the bottom surface of the guide groove 62 to avoid the connector affecting the reciprocating movement of the movable block. The bolt can not only connect to the support frame 40, but also directly connect to action cameras such as Insta360 cameras via thread, enabling quick switching and high adaptability. Of course, the number of connectors can be one or multiple, depending on actual needs. In addition, the connector 50 can also be an action camera adapter that can connect to other brands of action cameras such as GoPro or DJI, facilitating user connection and easy adjustment of the action camera's tilt angle.

[0045] Furthermore, the protective dike 140 is integrally connected with the upper shell 22, which facilitates processing and manufacturing, reduces subsequent assembly processes, and also enhances the overall structural strength. In addition, to facilitate the replacement of the conductive terminal 130, a cover plate 141 can be detachably installed at the lower end of the protective dike 140 to hold the conductive terminal 130 against the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the protective dike. When the conductive terminal needs to be replaced, the cover plate 141 can be removed directly, and then the conductive terminal can be pulled out of the inner cavity of the protective dike and a new conductive terminal can be installed. Of course, the conductive terminal 130 can also be designed to be pulled out from above the mounting position 201 or inserted into the slot. Correspondingly, the cover plate 141 serves to hold the narrowed part of the conductive terminal.

This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that the electronic device bracket also includes a support frame 40 that is detachably connected to the adapter 20 via a connector 50 and is used to fix the electronic device. The support frame 40 is used to hold electronic devices such as mobile phones or tablets.
