Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to camera accessories, specifically a camera auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] Cameras, though diverse in type, all share the same basic principle: converting optical image signals into electrical signals for storage or transmission. When we photograph an object, the light reflected from it is collected by the camera lens and focused onto the light-receiving surface of the imaging device (such as the target surface of a camera tube). The imaging device then converts the light into electrical energy, resulting in a "video signal." Since photoelectric signals are very weak, they need to be amplified by a preamplifier circuit, processed and adjusted by various circuits, and finally, a standard signal is obtained that can be recorded on a recording medium such as a video recorder, transmitted through a transmission system, or displayed on a monitor.

[0003] Existing cameras are usually handheld by cameramen. In fixed scenes, the camera position needs to be fixed, which requires the use of a bracket to place the camera. Existing camera brackets are difficult to keep level, and the captured image is not level, which affects the shooting effect. Therefore, the camera bracket needs to have a leveling function. However, the angle and distance changes during the adjustment process, which is not fixed, and the leveling error is relatively large.

[0004] Therefore, a new type of camera auxiliary device needs to be designed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a camera auxiliary device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a camera auxiliary device, including a bracket, a mounting base for fixing the camera, a fixing frame mounted on the top of the bracket, and multiple leveling components for maintaining the camera's state. The leveling components include a screw, the fixing frame is provided with a sleeve that cooperates with the screw, the top of the screw is provided with a spherical part, the mounting base is provided with a positioning hole, the positioning hole is provided with a connecting post, and the bottom of the connecting post is provided with a ball sleeve that cooperates with the spherical part.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning hole includes a first hole and a second hole that are connected to each other.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the connecting post is provided with a threaded groove, and the placement seat is provided with a threaded post that mates with the threaded groove.

[0009] Preferably, a washer is provided on the outer side of the stud.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the stud and the bottom of the screw are respectively provided with internal hexagonal countersunk holes.

[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the placement seat is provided with horizontal beads.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this invention, by setting a screw and a connecting post, the spherical part is located at the top of the screw, and the ball sleeve is located at the bottom of the connecting post. The spherical part can rotate arbitrarily in the ball sleeve. The spherical part and the ball sleeve can compensate for the angle changes during the leveling process. The connecting post can be fixed to any position between hole one and hole two, and can compensate for the distance difference during the leveling process. The camera on the placement seat can be leveled by leveling the placement seat. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] All electronic components in this application are controlled by an external controller.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a camera auxiliary device, including a bracket 1, a mounting base 2 for fixing the camera, a fixing frame 3 installed on the top of the bracket 1, and multiple leveling components for maintaining the camera's state. The leveling components include a screw 4. The fixing frame 3 is provided with a sleeve 5 that cooperates with the screw 4. The top of the screw 4 is provided with a spherical part 6. The mounting base 2 is provided with a positioning hole. The positioning hole is provided with a connecting post 8. The bottom of the connecting post 8 is provided with a ball sleeve 9 that cooperates with the spherical part 6. The positioning hole includes a first hole 10 and a second hole 11 that are connected to each other.

[0023] The bracket 1 is a common camera bracket 1 available on the market. The camera can be fixed to the mounting base 2. The fixing frame 3 is fixed to the top of the bracket 1. The mounting base 2 is located above the fixing frame 3. The sleeve 5 is fixed to the fixing frame 3. Preferably, there are four sleeves 5. The middle part of the screw 4 is screwed to the sleeve 5. The ball part 6 is located at the top of the screw 4. The positioning hole is opened on the mounting base 2. The positioning hole is composed of the connected hole 10 and hole 21. The connecting post 8 can move in the hole 10 and hole 21 to adapt to the distance compensation during the leveling process. The ball sleeve 9 is located at the bottom of the connecting post 8. The ball part 6 can rotate at any angle in the ball sleeve 9. By adjusting the height of the four ball parts 6, the mounting base 2 can be adjusted to an appropriate angle, which is convenient for leveling the mounting base 2 and the camera on it.

[0024] The top of the connecting post 8 is provided with a screw groove 12, and the placement seat 2 is provided with a stud 13 that mates with the screw groove 12; a washer 14 is provided on the outside of the stud 13. The screw groove 12 is opened at the top of the connecting post 8, and the stud 13 can be screwed into the screw groove 12 from above. The stud 13 can fasten the connecting post 8 to the placement seat 2, which is convenient for the camera to be leveled. The washer 14 can increase the friction between the stud 13 and the placement seat 2 to prevent loosening.

[0025] The top of the stud 13 and the bottom of the screw 4 are respectively provided with hexagonal countersunk holes 15. The hexagonal countersunk holes 15 are respectively provided on the top of the stud 13 and the bottom of the screw 4, which can be easily driven to rotate the screw 4 and the stud 13 by a wrench.

[0026] The side wall of the placement seat 2 is provided with a horizontal bead 16, which is fixed to the side wall of the placement seat 2. There can be multiple horizontal beads 16, which can be used to check whether the angle is balanced during the adjustment process.

[0027] In the process of using this utility model, when leveling the camera, first loosen the multiple studs 13 with a hex wrench, and then turn the screw 4 with a hex wrench. The rotation of the screw 4 can drive the spherical part 6 and the connecting post 8 on it to rise and fall. The connecting post 8 can move a certain position in the positioning hole. The spherical part 6 and the ball sleeve 9 can compensate for the angle change. After the leveling is completed, the studs 13 can be tightened onto the placement base 2.

[0028] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
