Whether traveling, shooting outdoors, or commuting daily, the large size increases the difficulty and burden of carrying them. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of the large size and inconvenience of carrying existing tripods, and to propose a portable ultra-thin tripod.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0006] A portable ultra-thin tripod includes:
[0007] The first leg, one end of which can be placed on a table;
[0008] A damping rotation shaft is disposed through the surface of the first leg, wherein the damping rotation shaft can rotate axially on the surface of the first leg;
[0009] The second leg has one end hinged to the damping rotation axis and the other end can be placed on the table. There are two second legs, which are respectively set on the left and right sides of the first leg. The second leg can rotate and unfold with the damping rotation axis as the base point to cooperate with the first leg to form a triangular support.
[0010] A hook is placed, one end of which is rotatably connected to the surface of the second leg. The hook can rotate and move on the surface of the second leg, forming a placement area between the hook and the second leg.
[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0012] Furthermore, anti-slip rubber sleeves are fitted on the ends of the first leg and the two second legs away from the damping rotation axis.
[0013] Furthermore, the second leg is fitted with a first anti-slip rubber pad on the side near where the hook is placed, wherein the number and distribution of the first anti-slip rubber pad are adapted to the second leg.
[0014] Furthermore, the placement hook is L-shaped, and a washer is provided between the placement hook and the second leg. The placement hook is composed of a long placement bar and a short interception bar. A pin is provided on the long placement bar to connect with the second leg. The long placement bar is rotatably connected to the second leg through the pin, and the long placement bar and the short interception bar are connected together.
[0015] Furthermore, a limiting seat is fixedly installed on the surface of the long placement strip. When the long placement strip is rotated and unfolded on the surface of the second leg, the limiting seat and the second leg abut against each other.

[0027] 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.
[0028] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a portable ultra-thin tripod, comprising:
[0029] The first leg 1, one end of which can be placed on a table;
[0030] A damping rotating shaft 2 is disposed through the surface of the first leg 1, wherein the damping rotating shaft 2 can rotate axially on the surface of the first leg 1.
[0031] The second leg 3 has one end hinged to the damping rotation shaft 2 and the other end can be placed on the table. There are two second legs 3, which are respectively set on the left and right sides of the first leg 1. The second leg 3 can rotate and unfold with the damping rotation shaft 2 as the base point to cooperate with the first leg 1 to form a triangular support.
[0032] Place a hook 4, one end of which is rotatably connected to the surface of the second leg 3. It can rotate and move on the surface of the second leg 3, forming a placement area between it and the second leg 3.
[0033] In use, the user first needs to place one end of the first leg 1 stably on the table to provide a stable support point for the entire bracket. Then, the user can operate the damping rotation shaft 2 to rotate it axially on the surface of the first leg 1, thereby causing the second leg 3, hinged to the damping rotation shaft 2, to rotate and unfold. Since there are two second legs 3, located on the left and right sides of the first leg 1 respectively, when both second legs 3 have rotated and unfolded around the damping rotation shaft 2, they will form a stable triangular support structure together with the first leg 1, providing reliable support for the equipment placed on the bracket. In addition, it also features… A placement hook 4 is designed, with one end of the placement hook 4 rotatably connected to the surface of the second leg 3. Users can rotate the placement hook 4 to form a suitable placement area between it and the second leg 3. This placement area can be used to hang mobile phones, tablets and other devices, or to place other small items, thereby meeting the diverse usage needs of users. During the entire use process, the damping characteristics of the damping rotation shaft 2 play a key role. It can not only ensure that the second leg 3 can stably stay at the required angle after being unfolded, but also prevent the second leg 3 from easily shaking when subjected to external forces, thereby ensuring the stability and load-bearing capacity of the bracket.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, this invention can be further configured such that: anti-slip rubber sleeves 5 are fitted on the ends of the first leg 1 and the two second legs 3 away from the damping rotation axis 2. During use, the first leg 1 and the two second legs 3, as supporting structures, need to form stable contact with the desktop or other supporting surfaces. To ensure the reliability and stability of this contact, anti-slip rubber sleeves 5 are fitted on the ends of the first leg 1 and the two second legs 3 away from the damping rotation axis 2. The anti-slip rubber sleeves 5 have good friction and anti-slip properties, which can increase the friction between the legs of the bracket and the supporting surface, thereby preventing the bracket from sliding or tilting during use. This design not only improves the stability of the bracket but also ensures the safety and comfort of the user during use. At the same time, the anti-slip rubber sleeves 5 also have a certain cushioning effect, which can reduce the direct collision and friction between the legs of the bracket and the supporting surface, thereby extending the service life of the bracket. In addition, the anti-slip rubber sleeves 5 are made of soft and elastic material, which can bring a more comfortable user experience.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, this invention can be further configured such that a first anti-slip rubber pad 6 is fitted onto the side of the second leg 3 near the placement hook 4. The number and distribution of the first anti-slip rubber pads 6 are adapted to the second leg 3. When using the stand, especially when suspending equipment on the placement hook 4 or placing other items within the placement area formed by the placement hook 4 and the second leg 3, the second leg 3, as one of the main load-bearing components, needs to possess good stability and anti-slip performance. To ensure this, the first anti-slip rubber pad 6 is fitted onto the side of the second leg 3 near the placement hook 4. The number and distribution of the first anti-slip rubber pads 6 are adapted to the second leg 3, ensuring sufficient friction between the second leg 3 and the tabletop or other supporting surface when placing items, preventing the stand from sliding or tilting due to load. This design not only improves the stability of the stand under load but also ensures user safety and confidence during use. Meanwhile, the first anti-slip rubber pad 6 is made of soft and elastic material, which can act as a buffer when bearing weight, reducing direct collision and friction between the second leg 3 and the supporting surface, thereby extending the service life of the bracket. In addition, the first anti-slip rubber pad 6 can also increase user comfort during use, making the bracket fit the desktop better and reducing wobbling and noise.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: the placement hook 4 is L-shaped, and a washer is provided between the placement hook 4 and the second leg 3. The placement hook 4 is composed of a long placement strip and a short intercepting strip. A pin 7 is provided on the long placement strip and connected to the second leg 3. The long placement strip is rotatably connected to the second leg 3 through the pin 7. The long placement strip and the short intercepting strip are connected together. The L-shaped design of the placement hook 4 makes the hook structurally more stable and able to withstand greater weight. It also makes it easier for users to hang equipment or other items on it. The placement hook 4 is composed of a long placement strip and a short intercepting strip, which are welded together to form an integral structure. This design not only enhances the overall strength of the hook but also ensures its stability and reliability during use. The pin 7 on the long placement strip is connected to the second leg 3. The rotating connection of shaft 7 allows the long placement bar to rotate relative to the second leg 3, thereby adjusting the angle and position of the placement hook 4. This design allows users to flexibly adjust the position of the placement hook 4 according to actual needs, adapting to the hanging requirements of different devices and items. During use, users can hang devices such as mobile phones and tablets on the long placement bar, while the short intercepting bar prevents the devices from slipping. Because the long placement bar and the short intercepting bar are L-shaped, even if the device is subjected to a certain external force during the hanging process, it can be effectively fixed on the hook and will not slip or tilt. In addition, since the placement hook 4 and the second leg 3 are rotatably connected by the pin shaft 7, users can also rotate the placement hook 4 to a position parallel to the second leg 3 as needed, thereby saving space and making it convenient to carry and store. Washers are also provided to reduce friction between the placement hook 4 and the second leg 3.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be further configured such that a limiting seat 8 is fixedly installed on the surface of the long placement strip. When the long placement strip rotates and unfolds on the surface of the second leg 3, the limiting seat 8 abuts against the second leg 3. The long placement strip, the short intercepting strip, and the limiting seat 8 are integrally formed by stamping. When the long placement strip rotates and unfolds on the surface of the second leg 3, the limiting seat 8 will form a mutual abutting relationship with the second leg 3. This abutting effect not only limits the angle at which the long placement strip continues to rotate, preventing it from being over-unfolded or folded, but also provides an additional support point for the placement hook 4, enhancing its load-bearing capacity and stability when hanging items. Specifically, when a user hangs equipment or other items on the long placement strip, the long placement strip will tend to flip downwards due to gravity. However, due to the abutting effect between the limiting seat 8 and the second leg 3, the long placement strip is effectively limited to a safe angle range and cannot continue to flip downwards. In this way, even if the suspended items are heavy, the placement hook 4 can remain stable and will not slip or tilt.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be further configured such that: a second anti-slip rubber pad 9 is fitted on the side of the long placement strip and the short intercepting strip near the second support leg 3, wherein the overall shape and size of the second anti-slip rubber pad 9 are adapted to the placement hook 4. This design aims to improve the stability and safety of the placement hook 4 during use, while also increasing user comfort. The second anti-slip rubber pad 9 has good friction and anti-slip properties, increasing the friction between the placement hook 4 and the second support leg 3, preventing slippage or tilting due to gravity when hanging items. This design not only... The improved stability of the bracket ensures user safety and confidence during use. Furthermore, the soft and elastic material of the second anti-slip rubber pad 9 provides cushioning when hanging items, reducing direct collisions and friction between the placement hook 4 and the second leg 3, thus extending the bracket's lifespan. Its soft touch also provides a more comfortable user experience. More importantly, because the overall shape and size of the second anti-slip rubber pad 9 are compatible with the placement hook 4, it fits tightly against the sides of the long placement strip and short interceptor strip, preventing it from easily falling off or shifting due to external forces. This tight fit not only improves the anti-slip effect but also ensures the stability and reliability of the placement hook 4 during use.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, this invention can be further configured as follows: two through holes 10 are formed on the surface of the damping rotating shaft 2, and a rotating sleeve 11 is interference-fitted into each of the two through holes 10. The rotating sleeve 11 can rotate axially inside the through hole 10. The end of the second leg 3 away from the tabletop is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating sleeve 11. The second leg 3 is hinged to the surface of the damping rotating shaft 2 through the through holes 10 and the rotating sleeve 11. The two through holes 10 on the surface of the damping rotating shaft 2 are carefully designed according to the rotation requirements of the second leg 3. The rotating sleeve 11 is interference-fitted into each of the through holes 10. This interference fit ensures a tight connection between the rotating sleeve 11 and the through hole 10, preventing loosening or detachment during use. The rotating sleeve 11 can rotate axially inside the through hole 10. One feature enables the flexible rotation of the second leg 3. Specifically, the end of the second leg 3 away from the tabletop is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating sleeve 11. This connection method allows the second leg 3 to hinge and rotate with the rotating sleeve 11 on the surface of the damping rotating shaft 2. During the rotation, the damping characteristics of the damping rotating shaft 2 play a key role. It not only provides a certain resistance to the rotation of the second leg 3, making the rotation process more stable and controllable, but also allows the resistance to be adjusted according to the user's needs, thereby meeting the usage requirements in different scenarios. In addition, due to the interference fit between the rotating sleeve 11 and the through hole 10 and the fixed connection between the second leg 3 and the rotating sleeve 11, the entire rotating structure can maintain good stability and durability during long-term use and is not prone to loosening or damage.
[0040] The specific working principle of this portable ultra-thin tripod is as follows:
[0041] First, the user takes out the tripod. At this point, one end of the first leg 1 can be stably placed on the table, serving as a support point for the tripod. Then, the user can easily rotate and unfold the two second legs 3 from the left and right sides of the first leg 1 using the damping characteristics of the damping rotation axis 2. Figure 4 As shown, since the second leg 3 is hinged to rotate via the damping rotating shaft 2, and a through hole 10 is provided on the surface of the damping rotating shaft 2, with a rotating sleeve 11 interference-fitted inside the through hole 10, and the end of the second leg 3 away from the tabletop is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating sleeve 11, the second leg 3 can unfold smoothly and controllably, forming a stable triangular support structure with the first leg 1, as shown. Figure 1 As shown;
[0042] During the unfolding of the second leg 3, the user can adjust the unfolding angle of the second leg 3 as needed to achieve the best support effect. At the same time, since the first leg 1 and the two second legs 3 are all fitted with anti-slip rubber sleeves 5 on the side ends away from the damping rotation axis 2, the tripod can remain stable on the table and is not easy to slide.
[0043] Next, the user can begin using the placement hook 4. The placement hook 4 is L-shaped and consists of a long placement bar and a short intercepting bar. The long placement bar is rotatably connected to the second leg 3 via a pin 7. Therefore, the user can adjust the angle and position of the placement hook 4 as needed. During adjustment, because a limiting seat 8 is fixedly installed on the surface of the long placement bar, when the long placement bar rotates and unfolds on the surface of the second leg 3, the limiting seat 8 will abut against the second leg 3, thereby limiting the excessive unfolding of the placement hook 4. Figure 5 As shown, this ensures stability during use;
[0044] In addition, a second anti-slip rubber pad 9 is fitted on the side of the long placement strip and the short interception strip near the second leg 3. This not only increases the friction between the placement hook 4 and the second leg 3, preventing the placement hook 4 from slipping when hanging items, but also provides users with a more comfortable user experience. At the same time, a first anti-slip rubber pad 6 is also fitted on the side of the second leg 3 near the placement hook 4, which further enhances the stability and safety of the placement hook 4 during use.
[0045] Finally, users can place the items that need to be hung or placed on the placement hook 4, or in the placement area formed by the placement hook 4 and the second leg 3. Because the tripod is structurally stable and reasonably designed, it can easily support various items, providing users with a convenient user experience.
[0046] During use, the second leg 3 can be laid flat on a table, while the first leg 1 can be raised to serve as a backrest. Figure 6 As shown, items can be placed on the second leg 3 for use, and hooks 4 are used to prevent them from slipping off.
[0047] In summary, the portable ultra-thin tripod is easy to use and, due to its reasonable design and stable structure, provides users with a convenient and efficient user experience.
