Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of buckle structure technology, specifically relating to a buckling mechanism for connecting a camera and a strap. Background Technology
[0002] As precision optical instruments, cameras possess complex internal optical paths, making their stability and safety paramount. Common accessories for connecting and securing cameras (such as lanyards or shoulder straps) not only facilitate carrying but also effectively prevent accidental drops. However, existing buckle designs suffer from the following problems:
[0003] 1. The simple structural design makes it difficult to meet the needs of rapid switching, resulting in low disassembly and assembly efficiency;
[0004] 2. While the complex design offers versatility, it increases the overall weight and introduces more connection points, potentially increasing the difficulty of operation and the risk of falls.
[0005] Therefore, developing a camera buckle structure that combines high load-bearing capacity, lightweight design, and quick assembly / disassembly is key to solving the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] 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.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] like Figure 1 - Figure 11 As shown, this utility model proposes a fastening mechanism for connecting a camera and a shoulder strap, including a base plate 1 and a locking structure. The locking structure is disposed on the base plate 1 and is used to connect and fix the shoulder strap and the camera to the base plate 1. The locking structure includes a locking hook 5, a locking groove 2 adapted to the locking hook 5, and a locking piece 6 for fixing the locking hook 5 in the locking groove 2. The locking hook 5 is rotatably disposed on the base plate 1. The locking structure has a locked state and an unlocked state. When it is in the locked state, the locking hook 5 is located in the locking groove 2, and the locking piece 6 covers the locking groove 2. When it is in the unlocked state, the locking hook 5 is disengaged from the locking groove 2. When using a buckle structure for the camera, after opening the locking hook 5, the locking ring and hanging ring on the shoulder strap are placed on the locking hook 5, and then the locking hook 5 is closed, thereby enabling quick connection of the shoulder strap and the camera. This achieves quick disassembly and detachment of the shoulder strap and the camera, and further enhances the load-bearing capacity while maintaining fewer connection points. When the locking piece 6 covers the locking groove 2, it limits the locking hook 5.
[0037] In this embodiment, the locking hook 5 includes a first locking segment, a second locking segment, and a connecting segment connecting the first locking segment and the second locking segment. The first locking segment is used to connect the locking ring of the camera, and the second locking segment is used to connect the hanging loop of the strap. The locking hook 5 is used to connect the strap through the first locking segment and the second locking segment. A rubber-coated hose is wrapped around the locking hook 5 to prevent wear on the machine's hanging pin.
[0038] In this embodiment, the first locking segment includes a first arc-shaped segment and a first bent segment connected to each other, and the second locking segment includes a locking segment and a second bent segment connected to each other. The first locking segment and the second locking segment can be used to connect the shoulder straps respectively.
[0039] In this embodiment, the locking hook 5 is integrally formed and is made of metal, while the base plate 1 is made of plastic steel.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 Figure 9As shown, the present invention proposes a fastening mechanism for connecting a camera and a strap. Compared with embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes a circular locking plate 6. The rotation center of the locking plate 6 does not coincide with the center of the circle of the locking plate 6. When the locking plate 6 is rotated, the position of the locking hook 5 can be limited by the locking plate 6.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention proposes a fastening mechanism for connecting a camera and a strap. Compared with embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes a groove 3 on the top surface of the base plate 1, the groove 3 being located on one side of the locking groove 2, and a locking piece 6 being fan-shaped. The rotation center of the locking piece 6 coincides with the center of the circle of the locking piece 6. By rotating the locking piece 6, the locking piece 6 can be moved. After the locking piece 6 moves to a new position, it can limit the position of the locked hook 5 after it is closed. The locking piece 6 can be disc-shaped or fan-shaped. By rotating the position of the locking piece 6, the position of the locked hook 5 can be limited.
[0044] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the base plate 1 is provided with a receiving groove 9 and a sealing plate 7. The connecting section is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 9. The sealing plate 7 is used to close the receiving groove 9. The shape and size of the sealing plate 7 are the same as those of the base plate 1. The sealing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1 by glue. The locking hook 5 can be limited by the receiving groove 9, thereby allowing the locking hook 5 to rotate.
[0045] Example 4
[0046] like Figure 11 As shown, the present invention proposes a fastening mechanism for connecting a camera and a strap. Compared with embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes a locking hook 5 comprising a first locking segment and a second locking segment that are separately disposed. The first locking segment and the second locking segment are respectively rotatably disposed on two opposite side walls of the base plate 1. The locking ring and hanging ring of the strap can be limited by the first locking segment and the second locking segment, thereby enabling the strap to be quickly connected to the buckle structure for the camera.
[0047] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using the buckle structure for cameras, the connecting section of the locking hook 5 is rotatably set in the receiving groove 9, which serves as the rotation axis of the locking hook 5. The other side of the locking hook 5 can be rotated open and closed. After being opened, one side of the locking hook 5 can be quickly fitted with a camera ring, and the other side can be quickly fitted with a shoulder strap. After being rotated closed, it is locked. In order to prevent the risk of accidental operation, after rotating the locking plate 6 to move to one side of the locking hook 5, the locking hook 5 can be limited, which can provide secondary protection and prevent accidental opening.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
