[0044] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0045] In related technologies, simple mounting clips can only adjust the camera's pitch angle, while mounting clips with multi-angle adjustment functions are complex and heavy, affecting the user experience and failing to balance small size and multi-angle adjustment, resulting in a decline in user experience.

[0046] To address the problems existing in related technologies, this disclosure provides an adapter and a shooting device. The adapter includes a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket, and an adjustment component. The first mounting bracket is connected to the shooting device, and the second mounting bracket is movably connected to the first mounting bracket. The second mounting bracket is used to connect to an external fixed structure. The adjustment component is disposed on the first mounting bracket and is used to adjust the relative position between the shooting device and the first mounting bracket. In this disclosure, the first and second mounting brackets are movably connected, and the adjustment component can adjust the relative position between the shooting device and the first mounting bracket. When the second mounting bracket is fixed to the external fixed structure, the mounting angle of the shooting device can be arbitrarily adjusted through the first mounting bracket and the adjustment component to meet the user's shooting angle requirements. The structure is simple, the adjustment is convenient, and it helps to improve the user experience.

[0047] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the disclosure provides an adapter 100 for transferring a shooting device to an external fixed structure. The external fixed structure can be any object capable of supporting the weight of the shooting device and the adapter 100, such as a hat or name tag worn by a consumer, a leash on a pet, or a wall.

[0048] It should be noted that the first preset rotating axis and the second preset rotating axis in the embodiments of this disclosure are both virtual features, which are used to assist in explaining the technical solutions of this disclosure.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 ,as well as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the adapter 100 includes a first mounting bracket 10 and a second mounting bracket 20 that are movably connected. The first mounting bracket 10 is used to connect to a shooting device (not shown in the figure), and the second mounting bracket 20 is used to connect to an external fixed structure (not shown in the figure).

[0050] In one example, see Figures 1 to 4 The first mounting bracket 10 rotates around the second preset pivot ( Figure 1 As shown in Figure B), it is rotatably connected to the second mounting bracket 20. The axial direction of the second preset rotating shaft is perpendicular to the optical axis of the shooting device. For example, the second preset rotating shaft can be parallel to or coincide with the pitch axis of the shooting device. By rotating the first mounting bracket 10 in the circumferential direction of the second preset rotating shaft, the included angle between the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 20 changes, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the shooting device. It should be noted that the adapter 100 provided in this embodiment is provided with an adjustment component 30 (described in detail below). The adjustment component 30 enables the shooting device to rotate around the first preset rotating shaft. For example, rotating the shooting device 90° around the optical axis can make the original pitch axis of the shooting device become the yaw axis. Therefore, the second preset rotating shaft in this disclosure can be parallel to or coincide with the pitch axis of the shooting device, and also parallel to or coincide with the yaw axis of the shooting device.

[0051] In another example (not shown in the attached diagram), the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket are connected by a ball joint mechanism. It is understood that when the second mounting bracket is connected to an external fixed structure, in some scenarios, the shape of the external fixed structure may limit the second mounting bracket's orientation, causing it to be in an incorrect position. This results in the first mounting bracket's orientation not meeting the shooting requirements. In this case, the ball joint mechanism can be used to arbitrarily adjust the first mounting bracket, allowing it to fix the shooting device in the desired orientation.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the adapter 100 also includes an adjustment component 30, which is disposed on the first mounting bracket 10. The adjustment component 30 is used to adjust the relative position of the shooting device and the first mounting bracket 10. When adjusting the position of the shooting device using the adjustment component 30, the optical axis direction of the shooting device is not changed. For example, the adjustment component 30 can rotate around a first preset axis (…). Figure 2 , Figure 6As shown in Figure A), the relative position of the shooting device and the first mounting bracket 10 is adjusted, and the first preset rotating axis is parallel or coincident with the optical axis (roll axis) of the shooting device. The adjustment component 30 can be adjusted, for example, by a rotating connection, or by disassembly and reassembly. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the adjustment component 30 is not limited in too much.

[0053] See Figures 1 to 4 It can be determined that when the shooting device rotates around the first preset axis (roll axis), it can freely adjust between horizontal, oblique, and vertical shooting to meet the user's shooting composition needs. For example, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 The adapter 100 is shown to fix the shooting device in a horizontal shooting position, where the image formed is a horizontal rectangle, suitable for shooting expansive landscapes. (See also...) Figure 3 The diagram shows that the adapter 100 fixes the shooting device in a vertical shooting state. When the shooting device is in the vertical shooting state, the image is a vertical rectangle, which can be used for close-up portrait shooting, for example.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket are movably connected, and the adjustment component can adjust the relative position of the shooting device and the first mounting bracket. When the second mounting bracket is fixed to an external fixed structure, the installation angle of the shooting device can be arbitrarily adjusted by the first mounting bracket and the adjustment component to meet the user's shooting angle requirements. The structure is simple, the adjustment is convenient, and it helps to improve the user experience.

[0055] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an adapter 100, which includes a first mounting bracket 10, a second mounting bracket 20, and an adjustment component 30. The first mounting bracket 10 is connected to the shooting device, and the second mounting bracket 20 is movably connected to the first mounting bracket 10. The second mounting bracket 20 is used to connect to an external fixed structure. The adjustment component 30 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 10 and is used to adjust the relative position between the shooting device and the first mounting bracket 10.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the adjustment component 30 includes a first connector 31 and a second connector 32, the first connector 31 rotating around a first preset axis ( Figure 2 As shown in Figure A), it forms a rotatable connection with the second connecting member 32. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 4The first connector 31 is used to install the shooting device, and the second connector 32 is used to connect the first connector 31 and the first mounting bracket 10. It can be understood that, based on the fact that the first preset rotating axis is parallel or coincident with the optical axis of the shooting device, the horizontal or vertical shooting mode of the shooting device can be adjusted by rotating the first connector 31 while keeping the positions and angles of the second mounting bracket 20, the first mounting bracket 10 and the second connector 32 unchanged.

[0057] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is understandable that after the first connecting member 31 is rotated into position, it needs to be limited to prevent it from continuing to rotate around the first preset axis, which would cause the shooting device angle to deviate. Therefore, a limiting engagement mechanism can be set on the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32 to limit the first connecting member 31 after it has rotated into position. It should be noted that the limiting engagement mechanism does not lock the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32; it is only used to provide tactile and auditory feedback to the user when the shooting device is installed in position. The user can determine whether the shooting device is adjusted in place through tactile and auditory feedback, which helps to improve the user's adjustment experience.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 One of the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 is provided with a plurality of first limiting parts 311, and the other is provided with at least one first mating part 321. The plurality of first limiting parts 311 are arranged in an array around the circumferential direction of the first preset rotating axis. When the shooting device is at a preset installation angle in the circumferential direction of the first preset rotating axis, at least one first limiting part 311 corresponds to at least one first mating part 321 and forms a mating.

[0059] In this embodiment, the number of the first mating part 321 and the first limiting part 311 is not excessively limited. For example, four first limiting parts 311 and one first mating part 321 can be provided, with the four first mating parts 321 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the first preset rotation axis. For example, when the shooting device is in the vertical shooting state, when the first mating part 321 engages with one of the multiple first limiting parts 311, the user can rotate the shooting device about 90° around the circumferential direction of the first preset rotation axis. When the user feels that the first mating part 321 engages with other first limiting parts 311, it can be determined that the shooting device has been adjusted to the horizontal shooting state.

[0060] In one example, such as Figure 5As shown, the first mating part 321 includes an elastic buckle, and the first limiting part 311 includes a first slot. The elastic buckle is configured to slide in the depth direction of the first slot (the radial direction of the first preset rotating shaft). When the shooting device is at a preset installation angle, the elastic buckle is extended into the first slot by the action of the elastic element. At this time, the user can hear the elastic buckle hitting the bottom wall of the first slot. If the user continues to apply force for adjustment, the resistance provided by the elastic buckle will be clearly felt, so that the user can determine that the shooting device has been adjusted in place by touch and hearing. In some optional embodiments, the extension directions of the elastic buckle and the first slot are both parallel to the axial direction of the first preset rotating shaft.

[0061] In another example (not shown in the attached diagram), the first limiting part includes a first magnetic element, and the second mating part includes a second magnetic element. When the first connecting member and the second connecting member rotate relative to each other, causing the shooting device to be at a preset installation angle, at least one first magnetic element can correspond with at least one second magnetic element and generate a magnetic attraction force to fix the first connecting member and the second connecting member at the preset angle, so that the shooting device is maintained at the preset installation angle. It should be noted that one of the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element is a magnet, and the other can be a metal part made of ferromagnetic material or a magnet. When both the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnets, it is necessary to ensure that the opposite magnetic poles of the two magnets approach each other when they are aligned.

[0062] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side of the first connector 31 opposite to the second connector 32 defines a receiving cavity 312. The shooting device is disposed within the receiving cavity 312, and the shooting device and the first connector 31 are detachable. The detachable connection can be achieved through methods such as magnetic connection or snap-fit ​​connection, which are not limited in detail. In this embodiment, the shape of the receiving cavity 312 can match the shooting device, so that the sidewall of the receiving cavity 312 defined by the first connector 31 can provide protection for the shooting device. For example, it can prevent the shooting device from being damaged by direct contact and impact with foreign objects, and it can also prevent the buttons on the shooting device from being accidentally pressed, thereby enhancing the stability of use.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an adapter 100, which includes a first mounting bracket 10, a second mounting bracket 20, and an adjustment component 30. The first mounting bracket 10 is connected to the shooting device, and the second mounting bracket 20 is movably connected to the first mounting bracket 10. The second mounting bracket 20 is used to connect to an external fixed structure. The adjustment component 30 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 10 and is used to adjust the relative position between the shooting device and the first mounting bracket 10.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, one of the adjustment assembly 30 and the shooting device (not shown in the figure) has a plurality of second limiting parts 33, and the other has at least one second mating part (not shown in the figure), the plurality of second limiting parts 33 revolving around a first preset rotating axis ( Figure 6 The circumferential direction array arrangement shown in Figure A). See also... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first mounting bracket 10 and the shooting device are detachable. When the shooting device has a preset installation angle, the second limiting part 33 corresponds to and cooperates with the second mating part, thereby fixing the shooting device at the preset installation angle. As can be seen from the above, the adapter 100 provided in this embodiment can be detachably connected to the shooting device. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal or vertical shooting of the shooting device, the shooting device can be removed from the first mounting bracket 10 first, and the position of the shooting device can be adjusted. Then, the shooting device can be installed on the first mounting bracket 10, ensuring that the second limiting part 33 corresponds to the second mating part.

[0065] For example, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first mounting bracket 10 and the shooting device (not shown in the figure) are connected by magnetic attraction. The second limiting part 33 is a protrusion 331 formed by extending outward from a part of the surface of the first mounting bracket 10. The second mating part is a second groove formed by recessing inward from a part of the housing of the shooting device. Both the protrusion 331 and the second groove extend along the axial direction of the first preset rotating shaft. The outer contour shape of the protrusion 331 is the same as the shape of the space enclosed by the second groove. Therefore, when the protrusion 331 corresponds to the second groove, the protrusion 331 can extend into the second groove, thereby restricting the relative rotation of the first mounting bracket 10 and the shooting device in the circumferential direction of the first preset rotating shaft.

[0066] In one example, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first mounting bracket 10 has four protruding structures 331, and the shooting device (not shown in the attached figure) has four second slots (not shown in the attached figure). Each of the four protruding structures 331 corresponds to one of the four second slots. All four protruding structures 331 are aligned along a first preset rotation axis (…). Figure 6 As shown in A), the four protruding structures 331 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, and the four second slots are also evenly distributed along the axis of the first preset rotating shaft. Therefore, after rotating the shooting device by 90° and 180°, it can still ensure that the four protruding structures 331 correspond one-to-one with the four second slots, thereby realizing auxiliary positioning when adjusting the installation angle of the shooting device, that is, providing feedback when the adjustment is in place, so as to improve the user experience.

[0067] Among them, such as Figure 8As shown, the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 20 rotate around the second preset axis ( Figure 8 As shown in Figure B), a rotational connection is formed. See also... Figure 8 The second mounting bracket 20 is provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth 21, which are arranged in an array along the circumferential direction of the second preset rotating axis. The first mounting bracket 10 is provided with an elastic arm 11, which can extend into any two adjacent ratchet teeth 21 to provide a limiting force to prevent the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 20 from rotating easily when not subjected to external force.

[0068] For example, see Figure 8 When the user needs to adjust the relative position of the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 20, the user can rotate along the second preset pivot ( Figure 8 As shown in Figure B), the circumferential direction applies opposite forces to the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 20. The second mounting bracket 20 transmits the force to the ratchet 21, and the first mounting bracket 10 transmits the force to the elastic arm 11. The elastic arm 11 deforms under the pressure of the inclined surface of the ratchet 21 and exits from between two adjacent ratchet 21 to release the limit. Since the elastic arm 11 has an elastic restoring force to return to its original shape, as the user continues to apply force, the elastic arm 11 can re-enter between two other adjacent ratchet 21 for limit adjustment. By setting multiple ratchet 21s, the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 20 can have multiple position adjustment levels. Furthermore, the elastic arm 11 provides resistance each time it enters between two adjacent ratchet 21, giving the user tactile and auditory feedback during adjustment, which helps to determine whether the adjustment is in place.

[0069] In some alternative embodiments (not shown in the figures), the elastic arm can be disposed on the second mounting bracket, and the ratchet can be disposed on the first mounting bracket. The main body of the second mounting bracket (elastic clip 22, described in detail below) can be integrally formed with the elastic arm. The second mounting bracket manufactured using an integral molding process has advantages such as high overall stability, high precision, and low cost.

[0070] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a shooting device is provided, which includes a shooting device and an adapter 100 provided in any of the foregoing embodiments of the present disclosure. One end of the adapter 100 can be connected to the shooting device, and the other end is used to connect to an external fixing structure, thereby realizing the shooting device to be adapted and fixed to the external fixing structure.

[0071] The shooting device provided in this embodiment has all the technical features and effects of the adapter 100. For example, the adjustment component 30 can adjust the relative position of the shooting device and the first mounting bracket 10 around the first preset rotating axis. The axial direction of the first preset rotating axis is parallel or coincident with the optical axis direction of the shooting device. The adjustment component 30 can switch the shooting device to be placed horizontally or vertically to meet the user's shooting needs and improve the user experience.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the second mounting bracket 20 of the adapter 100 includes an elastic clip 22 made of an elastic material. The elastic clip 22 includes two clamping plates 221. In its natural state, the two clamping plates 221 have a gap of 1mm-4mm. When the elastic clip 22 is fixed to the brim (approximately 5mm thick), the two clamping plates 221 undergo elastic deformation and generate an elastic restoring force. This elastic restoring force causes the two clamping plates 221 to abut against the two surfaces of the brim, thereby fixing the second mounting bracket 20 to the brim. (See reference...) Figure 6 In some embodiments, the two clamping plates 221 are provided with protruding ribs 222 on opposite sides. When the two clamping plates 221 are clamped to the external fixing structure, the protruding ribs 222 on the clamping plates 221 can also abut against the external fixing structure to improve clamping reliability.

[0073] In other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the second mounting bracket 20 of the adapter 100 is provided with a metal component or a magnetic component, and the second metal bracket can be magnetically connected to an external fixing structure. For example, the metal component and the magnetic component can be disposed in one of the clamping plates 221 of the elastic clamp 22.

[0074] In one example, the second mounting bracket includes a metal component made of ferromagnetic material and an external fixing structure, allowing the metal component to be magnetically attracted to a magnet. In an optional embodiment, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 6 External fixing structures, such as magnetic tags, include magnets and lanyards. The magnetic tags can be hung around the user's neck via the lanyards. The metal parts in the second mounting bracket 20 of the adapter 100 can be magnetically connected to the magnet, thereby allowing the adapter 100 and the shooting device to be suspended by the magnetic tags.

[0075] In another example, a magnet is provided in the second mounting bracket, and the external fixing structure can be made of or contain a magnet, or be a metal part made of ferromagnetic material, so that the second mounting bracket can be magnetically attracted to the external fixing structure.

[0076] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 1and Figure 6 As shown, the second mounting bracket 20 of the adapter 100 includes an elastic clip 22. One of the clamping plates 221 of the elastic clip 22 is provided with a metal part, so that the adapter 100 can be fixed to the external fixing structure by clamping or by magnetic adsorption.
