Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of camera triggering devices, and specifically relates to a triggering device with an elastic structure. Background Technology
[0002] During shooting, the trigger mechanism is an essential accessory. The user presses the shutter button, which activates the trigger mechanism to initiate the shot. Ordinary cameras typically use a combination of gears to reduce speed and achieve a half-press of the shutter button. For example, the high-tactile shutter release mechanism (patent number US2011 / 0311210A1) allows for autofocus activation with a half-press and photo capture with a full press. While this trigger mechanism, connected to the camera's shutter release button, provides a high level of tactile feedback to prevent accidental shooting during intentional focusing, the gear-based design fixes the shutter button's pressure. When the shutter button is too far from the trigger mechanism, the required pressing force becomes excessive, making it inconvenient to use. Furthermore, the shutter button type on different cameras cannot be adjusted to the user's preferred pressure, negatively impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the purpose of this invention is to provide a triggering device based on an elastic structure. This triggering device has a simple structure and can be adjusted to the user's preferred force according to different camera shutter buttons, enabling precise half-press and full-press stable shooting, thereby improving the user experience.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A triggering device based on an elastic structure, characterized in that it includes an elastic structure, a connector, and an actuating member, wherein one end of the connector is connected to the actuating member, and the other end of the connector is connected to the elastic structure.
[0006] The structure is connected in a way that the elastic structure has a first stroke that moves with the actuating element and a second stroke that undergoes elastic deformation. The elastic structure has at least one trigger end.
[0007] In this application, the first stroke of the elastic structure allows for a corresponding range of rotational arcs when the actuating element is rotated. When the actuating element is lightly pressed, the connecting element rotates accordingly, and the trigger end of the elastic structure presses against the shutter button, placing the camera in a half-pressed state. This achieves the second stroke of elastic deformation, enabling the camera to focus. Continuing to press the actuating element, or fully pressing it when focusing is not required, gradually increases the force on the elastic structure until the shutter's stroke and force exceed the half-press range of the shutter button. At this point, the trigger end fully presses the shutter button, triggering the shutter for exposure. This triggering device not only has a simple structure but also provides a more stable and flexible triggering function, enabling rapid half-press focusing and stable shooting with a full press, thus improving the user experience.
[0008] Furthermore, the elastic structure includes a mounting component and an elastic component. The elastic component is connected to the connector via the mounting component. The elastic component is provided with at least one trigger end and has a second stroke for elastic deformation. With this structural arrangement, when the toggle is pressed, the trigger end on the elastic component elastically expands and contracts with the elastic deformation. When the shutter button is pressed at the trigger end, the maximum stroke of the camera half-press is achieved, i.e., the camera focuses. If the pressing continues beyond this threshold, the shutter is exposed and a photo is taken.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes an outer mounting cover, and an inner mounting cover is provided at the other end of the connector, which is movably connected to the outer mounting cover. The outer mounting cover and the inner mounting cover together form a receiving chamber for accommodating the elastic component, so that the elastic component can elastically expand and contract within the receiving chamber to trigger the shutter button.
[0010] Preferably, the inner side of the outer mounting cover has an internal thread structure, and the outer side of the inner mounting cover has an external thread structure, with the internal thread structure and the external thread structure being rotatably connected. This structural design not only ensures a stable and movable connection between the outer and inner mounting covers, facilitating quick and easy replacement, but also allows for adjustment of the compression degree of the elastic component by rotating the outer and inner mounting covers, thereby adjusting the initial elastic force during operation.
[0011] Specifically, this structure allows for adjustment of the shutter release pressure to a user-preferred level. When the camera shutter button is far from the elastic component, to avoid using excessive force to actuate it, the outer and inner mounting covers can be initially rotated together to control the user's pressing force at the initial elastic value. When the camera shutter button is close to the elastic component, to prevent the user from accidentally pressing the shutter button with insufficient force, the outer and inner mounting covers can be fully rotated together, reducing the distance between them and controlling the pressing force of the actuator at the initial elastic value.
[0012] Furthermore, the mounting cover has a movable through hole, and the elastic component is at least partially exposed through the movable through hole to form the trigger end. The diameter of the movable through hole is smaller than the size of the elastic component, so that the trigger end can be exposed and pressed into contact with the shutter button to trigger the shutter button for focusing or exposure.
[0013] Furthermore, the elastic component includes a movable spring and a trigger block. The trigger block includes a trigger portion and a limiting portion, which are integrally connected. One end of the movable spring abuts against the limiting portion. The trigger portion is at least partially exposed in the movable through hole to form the trigger end, so as to trigger the shutter button.
[0014] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion extends from the limiting part and is integrally connected to the limiting part. The limiting protrusion can be held in place at the bottom of the movable spring to make the fixation of the two more stable and to prevent the trigger block and the movable spring from shifting.
[0015] Furthermore, the connector includes a connecting plate and a connecting rod. The connecting plate includes a connecting part and a steering part. The connecting part and the steering part are connected and form a first included angle. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the connecting part, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the actuating element. The steering part is connected to the elastic structure.
[0016] Preferably, the connecting part and the connecting rod are fixedly installed by screws. A torsion spring is sleeved on one end of the connecting rod. The torsion spring is provided so that when the actuating part is pressed, the torsion spring is elastically deformed, and its elastic potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, thereby causing the actuating part to be subjected to a corresponding force to rebound and reset.
[0017] Furthermore, a waterproof sealing ring is fitted onto one end of the connecting rod. The waterproof sealing ring allows the camera to perform underwater shooting after the triggering device is installed, preventing water from entering and damaging the triggering device.
[0018] Furthermore, a bushing is installed on the waterproof sealing ring, and the bushing is provided with an external thread structure. The bushing and the external thread structure enable more stable installation with the camera housing.
[0019] Furthermore, the actuating component includes an actuating component body, on which a connecting through hole is provided, and the connecting component engages with the connecting through hole. The actuating component also includes a screw cap and a decorative piece; the screw cap and decorative piece are respectively disposed on the side of the connecting through hole for dust and water prevention.
[0020] Furthermore, a shaft is installed on the other end of the connecting rod, and the main body of the actuating member is disposed between the bushing and the shaft. The shaft is adapted to the size of the connecting through hole, so that the actuating member and the connecting member are installed more tightly.
[0021] This utility model also provides a triggering device based on an elastic structure, replacing the aforementioned mounting cover with an adjusting member, and replacing the movable spring and trigger block with a spring sheet. The spring sheet includes a first spring sheet arm, a second spring sheet arm, and a connecting part. The first spring sheet arm, the second spring sheet arm, and the connecting part are combined to form a deformation space. The first spring sheet arm has a movable through hole, through which the first spring sheet arm connects the adjusting member and the turning part. The adjusting member is telescopically mounted on the first spring sheet arm to adjust the distance between the adjusting member and the second spring sheet arm.
[0022] Furthermore, the adjusting member has a groove, and a positioning part is installed on the groove to clamp and fix one end of the turning part. Specifically, the positioning part has an opening, and the positioning part is slidably installed on the groove through the opening for fixation, so that the connection between the spring and the adjusting member is more stable under the fixation of the clamping piece, and no shaking occurs.
[0023] Furthermore, the spring is a curved spring. The space created by the bending of the spring can be used to house the bolt and clamping piece, which not only saves space but also allows for adjustment of the spring force required to press the shutter button, adapting to different cameras and user pressing pressures. Specifically, the spring is bent into a U-shape, forming an upper spring arm and a lower spring arm located on either side of the opening. The bolt is rotatably connected to the upper spring arm, with its tip extending into the curved space. This bolt tip creates a deformation distance with the lower spring arm, providing deformation space for the lower spring arm. When the lower spring arm is under pressure, it deforms upwards, moving closer to the upper spring arm, until it abuts against the tip of the bolt, at which point it stops deforming. The critical spring force value provided by the lower spring arm's deformation is precisely the ideal half-press force for camera focusing in this technical solution. Depending on the application scenario, the distance between the front end of the bolt and the lower spring arm can be adjusted to provide different critical spring force values.
[0024] This utility model also provides a triggering device based on an elastic structure, replacing the aforementioned mounting cover with a connecting structure, and replacing the movable spring and steel ball with an elastic block. That is, the elastic component includes an elastic block, the elastic block having a movable through hole, and the connecting structure being connected to the elastic block through the movable through hole. The elastic block is preferably a hemisphere.
[0025] When the actuating element is moved, the connecting structure rotates accordingly, and the hemisphere moves downward under the influence of the connecting structure. Since the hemisphere will press against the camera's shutter button during use, it will be squeezed against the shutter button during movement and undergo elastic deformation in the direction of the connecting structure. When the elastic block is fully squeezed against the connecting structure, the connecting structure will resist the elastic block. The critical elastic force value of the elastic deformation of the elastic block at this time is the ideal half-press force for camera focusing in this technical solution. If the pressure is continued to exceed this critical value, the camera can be exposed.
[0026] Furthermore, the connecting structure includes a threaded rod and a connecting block, which are integrally connected. A protrusion is also provided below the threaded rod, and this protrusion engages with the movable through hole. This structural design ensures a secure connection between the elastic block and the connecting structure.
[0027] Furthermore, a threaded through hole is provided on one end of the connecting plate, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the threaded through hole. This structural design not only makes the installation of the connecting structure and the connecting plate more stable and convenient, but also allows for adjustment of the compression degree of the elastic component by adjusting the distance between the threaded through hole and the threaded rod, thereby adjusting the magnitude of its initial elastic force during operation.
[0028] Specifically, by setting up this structure, the force required to press the shutter button can be adjusted to the user's preferred method. When the camera shutter button is far from the elastic component, to avoid using too much force to actuate the actuating element, the distance between the threaded through hole and the threaded rod can be increased. When the camera shutter button is close to the elastic component, to prevent the user from accidentally pressing the shutter button with too little force, the distance between the threaded through hole and the threaded rod can be decreased.
[0029] Furthermore, the device also includes a camera body and a camera housing. The camera body is installed inside the camera housing, and the connector is rotatably connected to the camera housing. The camera body is provided with a shutter button, and the elastic component corresponds to the position of the shutter button. The shutter button on the camera body abuts against the elastic structure of the triggering device to trigger the shutter.
[0030] The beneficial effect of this invention is that, compared with the prior art, the first stroke of the elastic structure allows the elastic structure to have a corresponding rotation range when the toggle is rotated. When the toggle is lightly pressed, the connecting member rotates accordingly, and the trigger end of the elastic structure presses against the shutter button, putting the camera in a half-pressed state, realizing the second stroke of elastic deformation, which allows the camera to focus. If the toggle is pressed further, or if focusing is not required, the toggle is fully pressed, and the force on the elastic structure gradually increases until the shutter stroke and force exceed the half-press range of the camera shutter button. The trigger end then fully presses the shutter button, triggering the shutter exposure. This trigger device not only has a simple structure but also a more stable and flexible triggering function, enabling fast half-press shutter focusing and stable shooting with a full press, thus improving the user experience.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0046] See Figure 1-14 To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0047] A triggering device based on an elastic structure is characterized in that it includes an elastic structure 1, a connector 2, and a toggle 3. One end of the connector 2 is connected to the toggle 3, and the other end of the connector 2 is connected to the elastic structure 1. The elastic structure 1 has a first stroke that moves with the toggle 3, and the elastic structure 1 has a second stroke that undergoes elastic deformation. The elastic structure 1 has at least one trigger end 4.
[0048] In this utility model, the first stroke of the elastic structure 1 allows the elastic structure 1 to have a corresponding rotation arc range when the actuating element 3 is rotated. When the actuating element 3 is lightly pressed, the connecting element 2 rotates accordingly, and the trigger end 4 of the elastic structure 1 presses the shutter button, putting the camera in a half-pressed state, realizing the second stroke of elastic deformation, which allows the camera to focus. If the actuating element is pressed further, or if focusing is not required, the actuating element 3 is fully pressed, and the force on the elastic structure 1 gradually increases until the shutter stroke and force exceed the half-press range of the camera shutter button, and the trigger end fully presses the shutter button, triggering the shutter exposure. Through the setting of this triggering device, not only is the structure simple, but the triggering function is also more stable and flexible, enabling fast half-press shutter focusing and full-press stable shooting.
[0049] In this embodiment, the elastic structure 1 includes a mounting component 11 and an elastic component 12. The elastic component 12 is connected to the connector 2 through the mounting component 11. The elastic component 12 is provided with at least one trigger end 4, and the elastic component 12 has a second stroke for elastic deformation. With such a structure, when the toggle 3 is pressed, the trigger end on the elastic component 12 elastically expands and contracts with the elastic deformation. When the shutter button is pressed at the trigger end 4, the maximum stroke of the camera half-press is achieved, that is, the camera focuses. If the pressing continues beyond the critical value, the shutter is exposed and a photo is taken.
[0050] In this embodiment, the mounting component 11 includes an outer mounting cover 111, and an inner mounting cover 21 is provided on the other end of the connector 2, which is movably connected to the outer mounting cover 111. The outer mounting cover 111 and the inner mounting cover 21 enclose and form a receiving chamber 5 for accommodating the elastic component 12, so that the elastic component 12 can elastically expand and contract within the receiving chamber 5 to trigger the shutter button.
[0051] Preferably, the inner side of the outer cover 111 is provided with an internal thread structure, and the outer side of the inner cover 21 is provided with an external thread structure, with the internal thread structure and the external thread structure being rotatably connected. This structural design not only enables a stable movable connection between the outer cover and the inner cover, facilitating quick and easy replacement, but also allows adjustment of the compression degree of the elastic component 12 by rotating the outer cover 111 and the inner cover 21, thereby adjusting the magnitude of its initial elastic force during operation.
[0052] Specifically, this structure allows for adjustment of the shutter release pressure to a user-preferred level. When the camera shutter button is far from the elastic component, excessive force is avoided by using the actuating element 3. The outer mounting cover 111 and the inner mounting cover 21 can be initially rotated together to control the pressure applied by the user at the initial elastic force value. When the camera shutter button is close to the elastic component 12, to prevent the user from accidentally pressing the shutter button with insufficient force, the outer mounting cover 111 and the inner mounting cover 21 can be fully rotated together. After the distance between them is reduced, the pressure applied by the actuating element is controlled at the initial elastic force value.
[0053] In this embodiment, the mounting cover 111 has a movable through hole 6, and the elastic component 12 is at least partially exposed in the movable through hole 6 to form a trigger end 4. The diameter of the movable through hole 6 is smaller than the size of the elastic component 12, so that the trigger end 4 can be exposed and pressed into contact with the shutter button to trigger the shutter button for shutter focusing or shutter exposure.
[0054] In this embodiment, the elastic component 12 includes a movable spring 121 and a trigger block 122. The trigger block is a ball 123. The bottom of the ball 123 is a trigger part 1231, and the middle part of the ball 123 is a limiting part 1232. The trigger part 1231 and the limiting part 1232 are integrally connected. One end of the movable spring 121 abuts against the limiting part 1232. The trigger part 1231 is at least partially exposed in the movable through hole 6 to form a trigger end 4 so as to trigger the shutter button.
[0055] In this embodiment, the sphere 123 is replaced by an ellipsoid 124, and a limiting protrusion 1233 extends from the limiting part 1232. The limiting protrusion 1233 is integrally connected with the limiting part 1232. The limiting protrusion 1233 can be held in place at the bottom of the movable spring 121 so that the fixation of the two is more stable and the phenomenon of displacement of the ellipsoid 124 and the movable spring 121 is avoided.
[0056] In this embodiment, the connector 2 includes a connecting plate 22 and a connecting rod 23. The connecting plate 22 includes a connecting part 221 and a turning part 222. The connecting part 221 and the turning part 222 are connected and form a first included angle 7. One end of the connecting rod 23 is connected to the connecting part 221, and the other end of the connecting rod 23 is connected to the actuating member 3. The turning part 222 is connected to the elastic structure 1.
[0057] Preferably, the connecting part 221 and the connecting rod 23 are fixedly installed by screws. A torsion spring 8 is sleeved on one end of the connecting rod 23. The torsion spring 8 is provided so that when the actuating member 3 is pressed, the torsion spring 8 is elastically deformed, and its elastic potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, thereby causing the actuating member 3 to be subjected to a corresponding force to rebound and reset.
[0058] In this embodiment, a waterproof sealing ring 9 is also fitted onto one end of the connecting rod 23. The waterproof sealing ring 9 allows the camera to take underwater pictures after the triggering device is installed, preventing water from entering the triggering device and causing damage.
[0059] In this embodiment, a bushing 10 is installed on the waterproof sealing ring 9. The bushing 10 is provided with an external thread structure. The bushing 10 and the external thread structure enable more stable installation with the camera housing.
[0060] In this embodiment, the actuating component 3 includes an actuating component body 31, on which a connecting through hole 311 is provided, and a connecting rod 23 is engaged with one end of the connecting through hole 311. The actuating component 3 also includes a screw cap 32 and a decorative piece 33; the decorative piece 33 is disposed at the other end of the connecting through hole 311, and the screw cap 32 is disposed on the decorative piece 33. The screw cap 32 and the decorative piece 33 are used for dustproofing and waterproofing.
[0061] In this embodiment, a shaft 231 is installed on the other end of the connecting rod 23, and the actuating body 31 is disposed between the bushing 10 and the shaft 231. The shaft 231 is adapted to the size of the connecting through hole 311, so that the actuating part 3 and the connecting part 2 are installed more tightly.
[0062] See Figure 6-8 In the second embodiment, the outer cover 111 is replaced by an adjusting member 112, which is a bolt 20. The movable spring 121 and the trigger block 122 are replaced by a spring sheet 131. The spring sheet 131 includes a first spring sheet arm 1311, a second spring sheet arm 1312, and a connecting part 1313. The first spring sheet arm 1311, the second spring sheet arm 1312, and the connecting part 1313 are combined to form a deformation space. The first spring sheet arm 1311 has a movable through hole 6. The first spring sheet arm 1311 passes through the movable through hole 6 to connect the bolt 20 to the turning part 222. The bolt 20 is telescopically mounted on the first spring sheet arm 1311 to adjust the distance between the adjusting member 112 and the second spring sheet arm 1312.
[0063] In this embodiment, an annular groove 1121 is provided on the bolt 20, and a positioning part 1122 is installed on the annular groove 1121. The positioning part is a clamping piece 1123. This structure is designed to clamp and fix one end 222 of the turning part. Specifically, the clamping piece 1123 has an opening. The clamping piece 1123 is installed on the annular groove 1121 by sliding through the opening for fixation. This makes the connection between the spring piece 131 and the bolt 20 more stable under the fixation of the clamping piece 1123, and prevents shaking.
[0064] In this embodiment, the spring 131 is a bent spring 30. The space formed by the bending of the bent spring 30 can be used to house the bolt 20 and the clamping piece 1123. This not only saves space but also allows for adjustment of the spring force of the shutter button to accommodate different cameras and user pressing pressure. Specifically, the spring 131 is bent into a U-shape, forming an upper spring arm 40 and a lower spring arm 50 located on both sides of the opening. The bolt 20 is rotatably connected to the upper spring arm 40, and the front end of the bolt 20 extends into the bent space. A deformation distance 60 is formed between the front end of the bolt 20 and the lower spring arm 50. The deformation distance 60 provides deformation space for the lower spring arm 50. When the lower spring arm 50 is subjected to pressure, it deforms upward and moves closer to the upper spring arm 40 until it abuts against the front end of the bolt 20, at which point it stops deforming. When the lower spring arm 50 just reaches the position where it abuts against the front end of the bolt 20, this is the critical elastic force value provided by the deformation of the lower spring arm 50. This critical elastic force value is the ideal half-press force for camera focusing in this technical solution. Depending on different usage scenarios, the distance between the front end of the bolt 20 and the lower spring arm 50 can be adjusted to provide different critical elastic force values.
[0065] See Figure 9-11 In the third embodiment, the outer cover 111 is replaced with the connecting structure 70, and the movable spring 121 and the trigger block 122 are replaced with a hemisphere 80. The hemisphere 80 has a movable through hole 6, and the connecting structure 70 is connected to the hemisphere 80 through the movable through hole 6.
[0066] When the toggle switch 3 is turned, the connecting structure 70 rotates accordingly, and then the hemisphere 80 moves downward under the influence of the connecting structure 70. Since the hemisphere 80 will press against the camera's shutter button during use, the hemisphere 80 will be squeezed against the camera's shutter button during movement and undergo elastic deformation in the direction of the connecting structure 70. When the hemisphere 80 and the connecting structure 70 are fully squeezed, the connecting structure 70 will hold the hemisphere 80. At this time, the critical elastic force value of the elastic deformation of the hemisphere 80 is the ideal half-press force for camera focusing in this technical solution. If the pressure is continued to exceed this critical value, the camera can be exposed.
[0067] Specifically, the material of hemisphere 80 is elastic. When the elastic structure 1 is compressed, the hemisphere undergoes elastic deformation to trigger the shutter.
[0068] In this embodiment, the connecting structure 70 includes a threaded rod 71 and a connecting block 72, which are integrally connected. A protrusion 711 is also provided below the threaded rod 71, and the protrusion 711 engages with the movable through hole 6. This structural arrangement ensures a secure connection between the hemisphere 80 and the connecting structure 70.
[0069] In this embodiment, a threaded through hole 221 is provided on one end of the connecting plate 22, and the threaded rod 71 is rotatably connected to the threaded through hole 221. This structural arrangement not only makes the installation of the connecting structure 70 and the connecting plate 22 more stable and convenient, but also allows the compression degree of the elastic component 12 to be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the threaded through hole 221 and the threaded rod 71, thereby adjusting the magnitude of its initial elastic force during operation.
[0070] Specifically, by setting up this structure, the force required to press the shutter button can be adjusted to the user's preferred method. When the camera shutter button is far from the elastic component 12, to avoid using too much force to actuate the component 3, the distance between the threaded through hole 221 and the threaded rod 71 can be increased. When the camera shutter button is close to the elastic component 12, to avoid the user accidentally pressing the shutter button with too little force, the distance between the threaded through hole 221 and the threaded rod 71 can be decreased.
[0071] In any embodiment, the device further includes a camera body 900 and a camera housing 901. The camera body 900 is installed inside the camera housing 901. The connector 2 is rotatably connected to the camera housing 901. A shutter button 902 is provided on the camera body 900. The elastic component 3 corresponds to the position of the shutter button 902. The shutter button 902 on the camera body 900 abuts against the elastic structure 3 of the triggering device to trigger the shutter.
