[0026] Reference Figure 1A photographic equipment mounting mechanism includes: a connecting base 300, a mounting structure 700, a first connecting structure 150, and a second connecting structure 250. The connecting base 300 has a reference axis 900. The mounting structure 700 is disposed on the connecting base 300 and is used to fix the photographic equipment relative to the connecting base 300. The first connecting structure 150 is disposed on the connecting base 300 and can connect and fix the connecting base 300 and the supporting part, so that the reference axis 900 is in a first axial direction. The second connecting structure 250 is disposed on the connecting base 300 and is used to connect and fix the connecting base 300 and the supporting part, so that the reference axis 900 is in a second axial direction. The first axial direction and the second axial direction are intersected. After the connecting base 300 connects the photographic equipment to each other through the mounting structure 700, the connecting base 300 can choose to install and fix the supporting part through either the first connecting structure 150 or the second connecting structure 250, so that the supporting part can connect to and support the photographic equipment. By switching between the first connecting structure 150 and the second connecting structure 250, the reference axis 900 can be positioned in either the first or second axis when the connecting seat 300 is connected to the support part. This allows the photographic equipment to be installed in different orientations, providing more diverse options for the shooting angles of the photographic equipment, thus facilitating its shooting operations.

[0027] Specifically, the connector 300 is provided with a contact plane 110 for contacting the photographic equipment, and the reference axis 900 is the normal to the contact plane 110. Of course, the reference axis 900 can also be an axis in other positions or with different orientations. The configuration of the reference axis 900 is mainly used to define the first axis and the second axis. The specific implementation is not unique, but can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.

[0028] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 The connector 300 is provided with a first connecting part 100 and a second connecting part 200. A first connecting structure 150 is located at the first connecting part 100, and a second connecting structure 250 is located at the second connecting part 200. The first connecting part 100 and the second connecting part 200 have opposite orientations. The first connecting part 100 and the second connecting part 200 can be selectively used to connect the connector 300 and the support part. By using the opposite orientations of the first connecting part 100 and the second connecting part 200, the photographic equipment is in different orientations when the first connecting part 100 and the second connecting part 200 are connected to the support part, thereby providing different shooting angle options for the photographic equipment.

[0029] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3The first connecting structure 150 and / or the second connecting structure 250 include threaded holes, which are formed in at least one of the first connecting portion 100 and the second connecting portion 200. The threaded holes can be connected to components such as screws and bolts at the support portion by means of threaded connection, so that the connecting seat 300 can be firmly installed at the support portion, and also has the advantage of easy disassembly and assembly.

[0030] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 Both the first connecting part 100 and the second connecting part 200 are provided with threaded holes, and the central axes of the two threaded holes are not parallel. One of the two threaded holes can be connected to a screw or bolt component on the support part. Since the central axes of the two threaded holes are not parallel, when the two threaded holes are connected to the support device respectively, the connecting seat 300 and the photographic equipment as a whole will be in different orientations, thereby achieving the effect of providing different shooting angles for the photographic equipment.

[0031] It is conceivable that the two threaded holes could also be located at two points on the same side of the connecting seat 300, and by setting the central axes of the two threaded holes to be non-parallel, the connecting seat 300 would be in opposite directions when the two threaded holes are connected to the support parts respectively. The specific implementation method is not unique, but can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.

[0032] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The mounting structure 700 includes two hooks 750 disposed on the connector 300. The two hooks 750 face each other and can engage to clamp the photographic equipment. The two hooks 750 can engage the photographic equipment from both sides, thereby allowing the photographic equipment to be securely mounted on the connector 300 and facilitating easy assembly and disassembly between the connector 300 and the photographic equipment.

[0033] It is conceivable that the mounting structure 700 could also be composed of other components, such as connecting the connector 300 and the photographic equipment together with screws. The specific implementation method is not unique and can be adjusted according to the actual situation; therefore, no restrictions are imposed here.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4The two hooks 750 are rotatably connected to the connector 300. Each hook 750 has a hook portion 760. The connector 300 is equipped with a return spring 730. The return spring 730 can drive the two hook portions 760 to move closer together and clamp the photographic equipment. When the hooks 750 rotate, the photographic equipment can be loosened to facilitate the installation and removal of the photographic equipment relative to the connector 300. The return spring 730 allows the two hooks 750 to automatically clamp the photographic equipment through the hook portions 760, thereby automatically keeping the photographic equipment in a relatively fixed state relative to the connector 300, thus ensuring that the photographic equipment can be securely installed.

[0035] Specifically, the connecting seat 300 is provided with a pivot portion 740, and the hook 750 is provided with a hinge portion 710. The hinge portion 710 is rotatably fitted around the outer periphery of the pivot portion 740 and can rotate relative to it. The hook portion 760 and the return spring 730 are respectively located on both sides of the hinge portion 710.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 A first magnetic attractor 800 is positioned between the two hooks 750. The first magnetic attractor 800 guides and positions the photographic equipment and the connector 300. When the photographic equipment is installed onto the connector 300, it is first attracted to its screws and other metal parts by the first magnetic attractor 800, causing these parts to automatically move towards the first magnetic attractor 800. This effectively guides the installation process of the photographic equipment, ensuring more efficient and accurate installation.

[0037] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The connector 300 is equipped with a clip 500, which is used to install photographic equipment accessories. The clip 500 can be used to hang or mount commonly used accessories for photographic equipment such as lens caps and lens assemblies, thereby facilitating the shooting operation of photographic equipment.

[0038] Specifically, the clip 500 is provided with a through hole and can load accessories through the through hole.

[0039] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 At least two clips 500 are rotatably connected to the connector 300. The at least two clips 500 can rotate toward or away from each other, and the clips 500 can rotate to be flush with the connector 300. The fact that the two clips 500 can rotate to be flush with each other allows them to cooperate in loading accessories for the photographic equipment, thereby effectively improving the stability of the loaded accessories.

[0040] It is conceivable that the two clamping plates 500 can clamp and mount the accessories by means of clamping, or the holes on the clamping plates 500 can allow the accessories to have multiple insertion positions. The specific implementation method is not unique, but can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.

[0041] Specifically, two clips 500 are rotatably connected to the bottom side of the first connecting part 100, and two clips 500 are rotatably connected to the side of the second connecting part 200, so that the accessories can be loaded through the two clips 500 when the connecting seat 300 is connected with different orientations and support parts.

[0042] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 One of the connecting base 300 and the clip 500 is provided with a second magnetic attractor 550, and the other of the connecting base 300 and the clip 500 is provided with an adsorption part 130. The second magnetic attractor 550 can be magnetically attracted to the adsorption part 130. The magnetic attraction between the second magnetic attractor 550 and the adsorption part 130 allows the clip 500 to rotate to be flush with the connecting base 300 and automatically fix this flush state, thereby preventing the clip 500 from rotating on its own and extending out of the connecting base 300. This effectively prevents the extended clip 500 from accidentally colliding or scraping against the outside environment, thus effectively improving the safety of the clip 500.

[0043] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
