Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited.

[0034] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "setting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the communication between two elements inside. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Combination reference Figures 1-3This application provides a novel support frame 10 for supporting and stabilizing shooting equipment, and allowing for flexible adjustment of its orientation to provide users with flexible shooting angles. The support frame 10 includes a connected base 100 and a tripod body 200. The base 100 is used to directly or indirectly mount the shooting equipment, and the tripod body 200 is used to support the shooting equipment on a support surface. Specifically, the base 100 has a first limiting groove 110 and a second limiting groove 120 spaced apart at its edge. The tripod body 200 includes a main support leg 210 and a secondary support leg 220. The main support leg 210 has a rotating end 211 and a supporting end 212 that are axially opposite to each other. The rotating end 211 is rotatably connected to the base 100 via a rotating shaft 230. The main support leg 210 rotates relative to the base 100 around the rotating shaft 230, and the supporting end 212 is supported on the support surface. One end of the secondary leg 220 is connected to the base 100 or the main leg 210, and the angle between the main leg 210 and the secondary leg 220 increases or decreases synchronously as the main leg 210 rotates, thereby changing the support height of the tripod body 200.

[0036] Furthermore, in conjunction with references Figures 3-7 The support frame 10 includes an unlocking component 300, which is movably connected to the rotating end 211. The unlocking component 300 includes a connected operating end 310 and a limiting end 320. Figure 7 As shown), the operating end 310 is exposed on the outer wall of the rotating end 211 for user operation. Figure 3 As shown, the limiting end 320 abuts against the first limiting groove 110 or the second limiting groove 120 to restrict the rotation of the rotating end 211. The main support leg 210 can rotate about the pivot 230 relative to the base 100, so that the leg body 200 switches between the first state and the second state. Figure 4 or Figure 5 This illustrates the tripod body 200 in its first state, with the limiting end 320 abutting against the first limiting groove 110; Figure 6 This illustrates the second state of the tripod body 200, with the limiting end 320 abutting against the second limiting groove 120. (Combined) Figures 1-3 Second state ( Figure 3 As shown, the angle between the main support leg 210 and the secondary support leg 220 is greater than that in the first state ( Figure 1 The angle between the main support leg 210 and the secondary support leg 220 (as shown in Figure 2) is greater in the second state, meaning the opening angle of the tripod body 200 is larger.

[0037] Furthermore, in this application, in conjunction with reference to Figures 7-9The support frame 10 comprises a reset member 400 connected between the unlocking member 300 and the rotating end 211. The reset force provided by the reset member 400 drives the limiting end 320 to automatically move into the first limiting groove 110 or the second limiting groove 120, so as to limit the relative rotation between the main leg 210 and the base 100. The corresponding operation end 310 of the embodiment is unlocked when being pressed, so that the rotating end 211 can be switched between the first state and the second state. When the pressing is released, the operation end 310 is automatically reset. It should be noted that, in addition to the pressing manner in the embodiment, the operation end 310 of other embodiments can also be unlocked in other manners, and the operation manner is not limited in the application. The operation end 310 can also be unlocked in a sliding manner, for example, the inner side wall surface of the operation end 310 is an inclined surface, the operation end 320 is arranged to be longitudinally slidable, and when the limiting end 320 contacts different inner side surface positions of the operation end 310, the limiting end 320 can enter the first limiting groove 110 or the second limiting groove 120 by the reset force of the reset member 400.

[0038] The support frame 10 provided in the application is provided with at least two spaced limiting grooves (the first limiting groove 110 and the second limiting groove 120) at the edge of the base 100, so that the frame body 200 can be unfolded and stopped at different angles or angle ranges (the first state and the second state) to adjust the support height of the support frame 10. On the other hand, the user can control the relative rotation and relative limiting of the main leg 210 and the base 100 by unlocking the unlocking member 300 by one-key operation, so as to change the included angle between the main leg 210 and the auxiliary leg 220, that is, change the switching of the unfolding angle or angle range of the frame body 200, so that the support frame 10 can have a large change in the angle during supporting the shooting process, thereby obtaining a better shooting effect. The support frame 10 of the application has strong practicability, can be flexibly adjusted and conveniently operated, and can meet more shooting needs of the user.

[0039] Preferably, in combination with reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an embodiment, the first limiting groove 110 is a first arc track 111 surrounding the rotating shaft 230, and the first arc track 111 has a blocking wall at the head and tail thereof. When the frame body 200 is in the first state, the rotating end 211 is rotated relative to the base 100, so that the limiting end 320 can move between the head and tail of the first arc track 111. Figure 4 It is shown that, when the limiting end 320 abuts against the head blocking wall of the first arc track 111, in combination with Figure 1 , the main leg 210 and the auxiliary leg 220 are in a side-by-side closing posture, and the user can hold the frame body 200 to use the entire support frame 10 as a selfie stick. Figure 5 It is shown that, when the limiting end 320 abuts against the tail blocking wall of the first arc track 111, in combination withFigure 2 The main leg 210 and the slave leg 220 are in an angle state to support the support surface. It should be noted that the first limiting slot 110 increases the opening angle range of the foot stand main body 200 in the first state, and in other embodiments, the limiting end 320 can be embedded in the first limiting slot 110 to stabilize the opening angle state or the folding state of the foot stand main body. Therefore, in the present application, the specific structure of the first limiting slot 110 is not limited, as long as it can accommodate the limiting end 320.

[0040] Preferably, in combination with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In an embodiment, the second limiting slot 120 is a second arc track 121 surrounding the rotation shaft 230, and the first end and the second end of the second arc track 121 have a blocking wall. When the foot stand main body 200 is in the second state, the rotating end 211 can rotate relative to the base 100, so that the limiting end 320 can move between the first end and the second end of the second arc track 121. Figure 6 It is illustrated that when the limiting end 320 moves to abut against the end blocking wall of the second arc track 121, in combination with Figure 3 The main leg 210 and the slave leg 220 can be in a maximum angle opening state, and at this time, the support height of the support frame 10 is the lowest. It should be noted that, like the first limiting slot 110, in the present application, the specific structure of the second limiting slot 120 is not limited, as long as it can accommodate the limiting end 320.

When the rotating end 211 is rotated, the limiting end 320 moves along the second arc track 121 and the inclined surface 122 in sequence. The inclined surface 122 can guide the limiting end 320 to move from the second limiting slot 120 to the first limiting slot 110, so that the user can switch the foot stand main body 200 from the second state to the first state without operating the unlocking part 300, and quickly complete the folding of the support frame 10. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the inclined surface 122 is not provided, and the user can also complete the folding of the support frame 10 by operating the unlocking part 300. Therefore, in the present application, whether the inclined surface 122 is provided or not is not limited.

During the rotation of the rotating end 211 around the rotating shaft 230 relative to the base 100, the side peripheral wall of the base 100 is always attached to the side wall surface 241, so as to enhance the rotation stability between the rotating end 211 and the base 100 and prevent the dislocation of the two during the rotation. The first limiting slot 110 and the second limiting slot 120 are both opposite to the bottom wall surface 242, and part of the base 100 is positioned in the mounting slot 240, so as to enhance the assembly stability and compactness between the rotating end 211 and the base 100.
