The push block 520 moves to apply a force to the bent segment 5112, thereby driving the entire locking buckle 510 to move.

[0088] In one embodiment, the extending direction of the bent segment 5112 and the protruding direction of the limiting protrusion 512 are in the same direction; the first shell 200 further has a protruding baffle 206 arranged close to the protruding part 201 and spaced apart from the corresponding side wall of the protruding part 201. The bent segment 5112 is limited between the side wall of the protruding part 201 and the baffle 206 to limit the movement of the bent segment 5112 in the second direction, thereby ensuring that the locking buckle 510 only slides in the first direction.

[0089] In the embodiment, the push block 520 is slidably arranged on the first shell 200 in the second direction, and the push block 520 has a guide inclined surface 522; the guide inclined surface 522 abuts against the free end of the bent segment 5112; and the plane on which the guide inclined surface 522 is arranged is inclined in the second direction in a direction gradually away from the push block 520, so that the push block 520 can drive the locking body 511 to slide in the first direction, and the movement of the push block 520 in the second direction is converted into the movement of the locking buckle 510 in the first direction.

[0090] In one embodiment, the push block 520 is located on the side of the bent segment 5112 away from the protruding part 201. In another embodiment, the push block 520 is located on the side of the bent segment 5112 facing the protruding part 201.

[0091] In one embodiment, the end of the bent segment 5112 away from the locking segment 5111 has a guide segment 51113, the guide segment 51113 is arranged in a direction gradually away from the bent segment 5112 in a direction from the free end of the bent segment 5112 to the locking segment 5111, and the guide segment 51113 abuts against the push block 520, so that the movement of the push block 520 in the second direction can be converted into the movement of the locking buckle 510 in the first direction.

[0092] In some embodiments, the push block 520 is provided with a guide slope 522, and the locking body 511 is provided with a guide segment 51113 which is attached to the guide slope 522 on one side of the guide slope 522. The extension direction of the guide segment 51113 is parallel to the plane in which the corresponding guide slope 522 is located.

[0093] In another embodiment, the guide segment 51113 is not provided on the bent segment 5112, and one end of the bent segment 5112 towards the push block 520 is an inclined surface which is inclined and the plane in which the inclined surface is located is parallel to the plane in which the guide slope 522 is located. The inclined surface abuts against the guide slope 522.

[0094] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the push block 520 is provided with the guide slope 522 on both sides spaced apart in the first direction; the two guide slopes 522 are symmetrically arranged; the locking catch 510 is provided with two in the first direction spaced apart; the two locking catches 510 are symmetrically arranged in the first direction; the bent segments 5112 of the two locking catches 510 extend towards each other and abut against one guide slope 522 respectively. So that one push block 520 drives the two locking catches 510 to move synchronously.

[0095] The opposite sides of the insertion part 101 are respectively provided with a limiting clamping hole 103, and the two opposite side walls of the protruding part 201 are respectively provided with a through hole 205. The locking catch 510 is provided with two, and the limiting protrusions 512 on the two locking catches 510 are oppositely arranged and can be respectively inserted into one through hole 205. The movement of the push block 520 drives the movement of the two locking catches 510, so that the limiting protrusions 512 on the two locking catches 510 can be synchronously inserted into or separated from the limiting clamping hole 103.

[0096] In some embodiments, the locking structure 500 further comprises a first elastic member 530, one end of the first elastic member 530 abutting against one side of the locking body 511 away from the limiting protrusion 512, and the other end abutting against the first shell 200, so as to keep the limiting protrusion 512 moving towards the accommodating groove 202, thereby ensuring the clamping of the limiting protrusion 512 in the limiting clamping hole 103, so as to prevent the flash lamp 20 from being easily detached from the hot shoe 10. When the flash lamp 20 is detached, the force of the push block 520 acting on the locking catch 510 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 530, and drives the locking catch 510 to move away from the accommodating groove 202.

[0097] The side of the locking body 511 away from the limiting protrusion 512 is provided with a positioning column 531, and the first elastic member 530 is sleeved in the positioning column 531, so as to limit the first elastic member 530 and ensure the reliability of the connection of the first elastic member 530 on the locking catch 510.

[0098] In some embodiments, the knob 520 is arranged on the side of the bent section 5112 away from the protrusion 201, the knob 520 clamps the second elastic member 540 towards the side of the protrusion 201 and the protrusion 201, the side of the protrusion 201 towards the knob 520 is provided with a first protruding column 207, and the side of the knob 520 towards the protrusion 201 is provided with a second protruding column 523; the two ends of the second elastic member 540 are sleeved on the first protruding column 207 and the second protruding column 523 respectively.

[0099] In one embodiment, the second elastic member 540 and the second elastic member 540 are both compression springs. In some embodiments, the second elastic member 540 and the second elastic member 540 can be other elastic structures.

[0100] It should be noted that the side of the locking buckle 510 and the knob 520 towards the hot shoe 10 is attached to the first shell 200 respectively. The flash 20 is further provided with a cover plate 550, the cover plate 550 covers the side of the locking buckle 510 and the knob 520 away from the hot shoe 10, so as to limit the locking buckle 510 and the knob 520 in the radial direction along the up-down direction.

[0101] In the present application, a limiting clamping hole 103 is formed on the outer circumferential side of the hot shoe 10, and the locking structure 500 is slidably arranged in the first shell 200 so as to be able to slide into and out of the limiting clamping hole 103. When the locking structure 500 slides into the limiting clamping hole 103, the separation between the flash 20 and the hot shoe 10 can be limited, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the clamping between the flash 20 and the hot shoe 10. The locking structure 500 partially penetrates through the first shell 200 and is exposed outside the first shell 200, so as to be able to be manipulated outside the first shell 200. When the user needs to disassemble the flash 20 from the hot shoe 10, the user can manipulate the locking structure 500 outside the flash 20, so as to drive the locking structure 500 to slide out of the limiting clamping hole 103. After the locking structure 500 slides out of the limiting clamping hole 103, the flash 20 can be separated from the hot shoe 10. The user can manually control the movement of the locking structure 500 outside the flash 20, so as to more accurately control the disassembly of the flash 20 from the hot shoe 10.
