Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bracket technology, and in particular to a photographic bracket and its connection structure between the support rod and the legs. Background Technology

[0002] Existing camera tripods typically include a telescopic rod assembly, a mounting base, legs, and support rods. The mounting base is attached to the telescopic rod assembly and can slide relative to it. One end of each of the three legs is rotatably connected to the mounting base, and one end of each of the three support rods is rotatably connected to a leg, while the other end is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod assembly. When unfolded, the support plates form a stable tripod structure; when folded, the support plates fit snugly against the surface of the distal tube, facilitating carrying and storage.

[0003] However, this type of camera bracket has a certain flaw in the connection method between the support rod and the legs. Specifically, the inner side of the legs has two semi-circular lower grooves, and the cover plate has two upper grooves corresponding to the lower grooves. The two upper grooves and the lower grooves form a shaft hole to accommodate the support rod's pivot. To prevent the pivot from falling off, multiple screws are usually needed to fix the cover plate, making the assembly process cumbersome, inefficient, and thus increasing the product's production cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a camera bracket and its connection structure between the support rod and the legs to address the problem of low assembly efficiency in the existing connection method of support rod and legs.

[0005] A connection structure between a support rod and a leg of a photographic bracket is disclosed. The leg has an opposing mounting end and a supporting end, and a mounting portion is provided on the inner side of the leg. The support rod has an opposing first end and a second end. The first end of the support rod is provided with a pivot, and the first end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the mounting portion via the pivot. The mounting portion is provided with a mounting hole adapted to the pivot. The mounting hole has a disassembly opening facing the mounting end or supporting end of the leg, through which the pivot can slide into or out of the mounting hole. The bracket also includes a blocking member, which is detachably connected to the leg. The blocking member has a blocking portion for preventing the pivot from passing through the disassembly opening.

[0006] In one embodiment, two rotating shafts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first end of the support rod, and the mounting part is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the first end of the support rod. Two mounting holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the receiving groove, and the two rotating shafts are respectively installed in the two mounting holes. The blocking member is provided with two blocking parts for blocking the two rotating shafts from passing through the two disassembly ports respectively.

[0007] In one embodiment, the shielding part is adapted to the disassembly port, and the shielding part can be inserted into the disassembly port.

[0008] In one embodiment, the end face of the shielding portion facing the mounting hole is provided with an arc-shaped groove that is adapted to the rotating shaft.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first end face of the support rod is arc-shaped, and the shielding member is provided with a guide slope. When the support rod rotates relative to the support leg, the first end face of the support rod slides on the guide slope.

[0010] In one embodiment, the shield is detachably connected to the leg by a snap fastener.

[0011] In one embodiment, the inner side of the support leg is provided with a mounting groove that is adapted to the shield, and the shield is installed in the mounting groove.

[0012] In one embodiment, a buckle is provided in the bottom surface of the mounting groove, and a through hole is provided on the shielding member opposite to the buckle. The buckle passes through the through hole, and its hook part cooperates with the step on the shielding member.

[0013] In one embodiment, the step is disposed within the through hole.

[0014] A photographic support, including the aforementioned connecting structure.

[0015] The aforementioned connection structure between the support rod and the support leg features mounting holes on the support leg, with the mounting / dismounting opening facing either the first or second end of the support leg. The pivot is primarily constrained through the mounting holes, and the blocking component serves to block the opening of these holes. This improvement significantly reduces the required bonding force between the blocking component and the support leg, avoids the use of large screws for fixing, simplifies the connection method, and reduces assembly difficulty and the required installation force.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the photographic support includes: a telescopic rod assembly 1, a mounting base 2, three legs 3, and three support rods 4. The telescopic rod assembly 1 is composed of multiple tubes of different diameters nested together from largest to smallest. For ease of description, the tube section that extends furthest when the telescopic rod assembly 1 is extended is defined as the distal tube, and the tube section that extends closest when extended is defined as the proximal tube 11.

[0027] Mounting base 2 is fitted onto the proximal tube 11 of the telescopic rod assembly 1, and mounting base 2 and the distal tube can slide relative to the proximal tube 11. The support legs 3 have opposing mounting ends 31 and supporting ends 32, and the inner side of each support leg 3 is provided with a mounting portion 33. The mounting ends 31 of the three support legs 3 are rotatably connected to the mounting base 2. The support rod 4 has opposing first ends 41 and second ends 42. The first end 41 of the support rod 4 is provided with a pivot 43, and the first end 41 of the support rod 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting portion 33 via the pivot 43. The second end 42 of the support rod 4 is rotatably connected to the tailstock 12 at the bottom of the telescopic rod assembly 1. When unfolded, the support legs 3 form a stable tripod structure; when folded, the support legs 3 fit snugly against the surface of the distal tube, facilitating carrying and storage.

[0028] like Figure 3-6 As shown, the mounting portion 33 of the support leg 3 is provided with a mounting hole 34 adapted to the rotating shaft 43. The mounting hole 34 has a disassembly opening 34a facing the mounting end 31 or support end 32 of the support leg 3. The rotating shaft 43 can slide into or out of the mounting hole 34 through the disassembly opening 34a. It also includes a blocking member 5, which is detachably connected to the support leg 3. The blocking member 5 is provided with a blocking portion 51 for blocking the rotating shaft 43 from passing through the disassembly opening 34a.

[0029] In the connection structure between the support rod 4 and the support leg 3 of this application, the mounting part 33 of the support leg 3 is provided with a mounting hole 34, and the disassembly port 34a faces the side of the first end 41 (or the second end 42) of the support leg 3. The rotating shaft 43 is constrained by the mounting hole 34, and the function of the blocking member 5 is to block the opening of the mounting hole 34. This structure significantly reduces the bonding force requirement between the blocking member 5 and the support leg 3, avoids the use of large screws for fixing, simplifies the connection method, reduces assembly difficulty and labor requirements, thereby effectively reducing production costs.

[0030] In one embodiment, two rotating shafts 43 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first end 41 of the support rod 4. The mounting part 33 is provided with a receiving groove 35 for accommodating the first end 41 of the support rod 4. Two mounting holes 34 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the receiving groove 35. The two rotating shafts 43 are respectively installed in the two mounting holes 34. The blocking member 5 is provided with two blocking parts 51 for respectively blocking the two rotating shafts 43 from passing through the two disassembly ports 34a. In this structure, since two rotating shafts 43 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first end 41 of the support rod 4, and these two rotating shafts 43 are respectively installed in two symmetrically arranged mounting holes 34, the overall structure is more balanced and stable. As an alternative, only one rotating shaft 43 is provided on the first end 41 of the support rod 4, and the rotating shaft 43 passes through the shaft hole on the first end 41 of the support rod 4. The mounting part 33 is still provided with a receiving groove 35, and mounting holes 34 are provided on both sides of the receiving groove 35. As an alternative, the shield 5 is provided with only one shield 51 to prevent the rotating shaft 43 from passing through the disassembly port 34a.

[0031] In one embodiment, the shielding part 51 is adapted to the disassembly port 34a, and the shielding part 51 can be inserted into the disassembly port 34a. This adaptation design of the shielding part 51 and the disassembly port 34a ensures that the rotating shaft 43 is not easily slipped out of the disassembly port 34a during the connection process, thereby effectively preventing the rotating shaft 43 from falling off. Moreover, the fact that the shielding part 51 can be inserted into the disassembly port 34a further fixes the connection between the shielding part 5 and the support leg 3, enhancing the stability of the overall structure. In addition, the design of the shielding part 51 being inserted into the disassembly port 34a simplifies the assembly process, eliminating the need for additional screws or tools to fix the shielding part 5. This design improves the convenience and efficiency of the connection.

[0032] In one embodiment, the end face of the shielding part 51 facing the mounting hole 34 is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the rotating shaft 43. This design of the arc-shaped groove and the rotating shaft 43 ensures that the rotating shaft 43 can be accurately embedded in the groove during connection, thereby effectively preventing the rotating shaft 43 from shifting or loosening during use. In addition, the design of the arc-shaped groove makes the contact between the shielding part 51 and the rotating shaft 43 tighter, improving the connection performance between the support rod 4 and the support leg 3.

[0033] In one embodiment, the first end 41 of the support rod 4 has an arc-shaped end face, and the blocking member 5 is provided with a guide slope 53. When the support rod 4 rotates relative to the support leg 3, the first end 41 of the support rod 4 slides on the guide slope 53. This design of the arc-shaped end face 52 and the guide slope 53 allows the first end 41 of the support rod 4 to slide smoothly on the guide slope 53, reducing friction and resistance during rotation.

[0034] In one embodiment, the shielding member 5 is detachably connected to the support leg 3 via a snap-fit ​​37. This detachable connection not only improves the ease of assembly and disassembly and the stability of the connection, but also reduces production and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the inner side of the support leg 3 is provided with a mounting groove 36 that mates with the shielding member 5, and the shielding member 5 is installed within the mounting groove 36. By providing a mounting groove 36 on the inner side of the support leg 3 and installing the shielding member 5 within the groove, the number of externally exposed connecting parts is reduced, making the overall structure more compact and aesthetically pleasing.

[0035] In one embodiment, a buckle 37 is provided in the bottom surface of the mounting groove 36, and a through hole 54 is provided on the shielding member 5 opposite to the buckle 37. The buckle 37 passes through the through hole 54, and its hook portion 371 engages with the step 55 on the shielding member 5. The engagement design of the buckle 37 and the step 55 on the shielding member 5 ensures that the shielding member 5 is firmly fixed to the support leg 3 after installation, avoiding the risk of the shielding member 5 loosening or falling off. Preferably, the step 55 is disposed within the through hole 54, which ensures that the entire buckle 37 is accommodated within the through hole 54.

[0036] As can be seen from the description of the above embodiments, the connection structure between the support rod 4 and the support leg 3 of this application has significant advantages. The simplified connection method reduces the required bonding force during installation, reduces the use of screws, improves assembly efficiency, and the design of the shielding member 5 effectively enhances the safety and stability of the connection. Furthermore, the use of the guiding function and the snap-fit ​​connection method not only enhances adaptability and flexibility but also reduces production and maintenance costs, showing broad application prospects.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
