[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0026] The claw-type support for photographic equipment includes a frame 100 and multiple support legs 200. The multiple support legs 200 are arranged around the circumference of the frame 100, or can be connected to the frame 100 in other ways. The upper end of the support leg 200 is connected to the frame 100, and the lower end of the support leg 200 forms an abutment end that abuts against a support. The abutment end is connected to a foot hook 300 embedded in the support.
[0027] The aforementioned support can be grass, gravel, or soil, etc. It is not limited to specific support. In actual use, multiple support legs 200 can be unfolded relative to the frame 100 and are in an unfolded state, or they can be stored on the outer periphery of the frame 100 and are in a stored state.
[0028] The aforementioned claw-type support for photographic equipment utilizes multiple support legs 200 abutting ends to abut against a support, and the hooks 300 on the multiple abutting ends can be embedded in the support. Based on the support of the support legs 200, the hooks 300 are then embedded and fixed, forming a double-layer fixing effect, so that the photographic equipment support can achieve stable support on concave and convex supports.
[0029] In this embodiment, the support leg 200 is provided with a driving structure, which drives the foot hook 300 to swing, so that the foot hook 300 is in an unfolded state or a retracted state. Thus, when it is necessary to unfold the foot hook 300 so that it can be embedded in the support, the driving structure can be used to drive the foot hook 300 to swing and put the foot hook 300 in the unfolded state; or, when it is not necessary for the foot hook 300 to be embedded in the support, the driving structure can be used to drive the foot hook 300 to swing and put the foot hook 300 in the retracted state.
[0030] The drive structure includes a push rod 204 and a manually operated push button 201. The push button 201 is connected to the foot hook 300 through the push rod 204. The user can directly operate the push button 201 manually, for example, by pushing the push button 201 to move, thereby using the push button 201 to drive the push rod 204 to move, and thus the push rod 204 drives the foot hook 300 to swing.
[0031] In this embodiment, one end of the foot hook 300 is hinged to the support leg 200, and the other end of the foot hook 300 forms an embedded end 301. One end of the push rod 204 is hinged to one end of the foot hook 300, and the other end of the push rod 204 is hinged to the push key 201. The foot hook 300, the push rod 204, and the push key 201 form a linkage structure. The pushing of the push key 201 drives the push rod 204 to move, and the movement of the push rod 204 drives the foot hook 300 to swing, so that the foot hook 300 is in an unfolded state or a retracted state.
[0032] In this embodiment, the support leg 200 has an outwardly facing outer wall, and the push key 201 is inserted in the support leg 200 and extends to the outside of the outwardly facing outer wall, so as to facilitate manual pushing of the push key 201.
[0033] In this embodiment, the push rod 204 has an elastic segment 205. When the foot hook 300 is embedded in the support, the elastic segment 205 can be elastically deformed by operating the push key 201. Due to the elastic effect of the elastic segment 205, the foot hook 300 can maintain its elastic adjustment function. Furthermore, a certain pulling force can be applied to the foot hook 300 through the elastic deformation of the elastic segment 205, so that the foot hook 300 is more firmly embedded in the support.
[0034] In order to achieve better elastic deformation of the elastic segment 205, the elastic segment 205 is a spring, and during the deformation process, the elastic segment 205 deforms along the moving direction of the push rod 204, that is, it is compressed or stretched along the length direction of the support leg 200.
[0035] In this embodiment, a limiting structure is provided between the push button 201 and the support leg 200. An elastic piece 401 is provided on the support leg 200, and the elastic piece 401 abuts against the push button 201, so that the push button 201 and the support leg 200 are engaged through the limiting structure. Thus, when the push button 201 is pushed to the set position, the elastic piece 401 elastically presses against the push button 201, so that the push button 201 and the support leg 200 are engaged through the limiting structure. At this time, the elastic segment 205 on the push rod 204 can be in an elastically stretched state. Since the engagement between the push button 201 and the support leg 200 is relatively fixed, the elastic segment 205 generates tension, which can apply tension to the foot hook 300, so that the foot hook 300 firmly grips the support, increasing the support stability.
[0036] In this embodiment, the support leg 200 is provided with a guide rail plate 400, and the moving block is movably connected to the guide rail plate 400. The guide rail plate 400 guides the moving block to move linearly along the length direction of the support leg 200.
[0037] The aforementioned elastic sheet 401 is disposed on the guide rail sheet 400, which facilitates the placement of the elastic sheet 401. Furthermore, the elastic sheet 401 is provided with a plurality of elastically deformable protrusions 402 arranged at intervals. The push key 201 abuts against the plurality of elastic protrusions 402 on the elastic sheet 401. When the push key 201 is pushed, the push key 201 applies pressure in the opposite direction to deform the elastic protrusions 402, thereby giving the push key 201 a certain preload, maintaining the stability of the push key 201's movement, and allowing the push key 201 to engage with the support leg 200 through a positioning structure.
[0038] In this embodiment, the limiting structure includes multiple locking blocks 203 disposed on the push key 201 and multiple locking slots 202 disposed on the support leg 200 for the locking blocks 203 to be inserted. When the locking block 203 is inserted into the locking slot 202, the push key 201 and the support leg 200 are engaged with each other and remain relatively fixed. By arranging multiple locking slots 202, the push key 201 can be engaged with the support leg 200 in multiple set positions.
[0039] In this embodiment, the embedded end 301 is pointed, which makes it easier for the foot hook 300 to be embedded in the support, and when the foot hook 300 grips the support, the grip between the foot hook 300 and the support is more stable.
[0040] In this embodiment, the foot hook 300 is arranged in an inwardly curved manner along the direction from one end of the foot hook 300 to the embedded end 301, which facilitates the foot hook 300 being embedded in the support. After the foot hook 300 is embedded in the support, it forms an inwardly curved gripping state, so that the foot hook 300 is more firmly embedded in the support.
[0041] In this embodiment, the embedded end 301 is bent inward to form a hook end 302. In this way, when the embedded end 301 is embedded in the support, the embedded end 301 can be embedded in the support and press against the support from bottom to top, so that the foot hook 300 is more firmly placed in the support.
[0042] In practical applications, when multiple support legs 200 are in an extended state, pushing the operating end downward causes the moving block to move downward in sync, which in turn moves the linkage rod downward and drives the drive structure to swing downward to below the contact end. At this time, under the action of the positioning structure, the operating end and the support leg 200 remain relatively fixed.
[0043] When the foot hook 300 is embedded in the support and the operating end is moved upward, the foot hook 300 is resisted by the support during the upward swing, preventing it from swinging upward. At this time, the elastic segment 205 on the linkage rod is stretched and deformed until the positioning structure fixes the operating end and the support leg 200 in a relatively fixed position. The elastic segment 205 generates a pulling force, which acts on the foot hook 300, so that the foot hook 300 firmly grips the support inward, increasing the stability of the support.
[0044] When it is necessary to remove the support leg 200 from the support, the operating end can be moved in the opposite direction so that the elastic segment 205 can be restored to its natural state. At this time, the foot hook 300 can be directly pulled out from the support.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
