Figure 2 As shown, the tripod support leg angle adjustment structure 9 includes a support leg body 92 and a locking assembly 93. The support leg body 92 has a groove 921 and a rotating cavity 922. The extension end 91 extends into the groove 921. The locking assembly 93 includes a lead screw 931 and a sliding member 932. The sliding member 932 is helically connected to the lead screw 931. When the lead screw 931 rotates, the sliding member 932 moves closer to or further away from the extension end 91 extending into the groove 921. When both sides of the extension end 91 abut against the sliding member 932 and the sidewall of the groove 921 respectively, the angle of the support leg body 92 relative to the extension end 91 is fixed. However, since the rotation of the lead screw 931 is not locked, after the angle of the support leg body 92 is adjusted, the lead screw 931 may be accidentally rotated, causing the angle of the support leg body 92 relative to the extension end 91 to change.

[0028] The angle adjusting structure of the illustrative tripod supporting leg is described with reference to Figures 3 to 5 , according to a preferred embodiment of the present application, an angle adjusting structure of a tripod supporting leg is rotatably connected with an extension end 91 of a pan-tilt head as shown in Figure 1 , and comprises a supporting leg body 10 and a locking assembly 20.

[0029] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , one end of the supporting leg body 10 is provided with a recess 101 and a rotating cavity 102, the extension end 91 of the pan-tilt head extends into the recess 101, and the recess 101 is in communication with the rotating cavity 102; in addition, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the locking assembly 20 comprises a lead screw 201 and a sliding member 202, the sliding member 202 is screwingly rotatably connected with the lead screw 201, and when the lead screw 201 rotates, the sliding member 202 abuts against or separates from the extension end 91 extending into the recess 101.

[0030] It is to be noted that when the angle between the support leg body 10 and the extension end 91 needs to be fixed, the screw rod 201 is rotated by a predetermined angle in one direction and the sliding member 202 is abutted against the extension end 91; when the angle between the support leg body 10 and the extension end 91 needs to be adjusted, the screw rod 201 is rotated by a predetermined angle in another direction and the sliding member 202 is separated from the extension end 91.

[0031] Further, in order to avoid the user from unintentionally rotating the screw rod 201 and separating the sliding member 202 from the extension end 91 after the angle between the support leg body 10 and the extension end 91 is fixed, as shown in Figure 5 One side of the support leg body 10 has a guide portion 103, one end of the screw rod 201 has a plurality of protruding keys 2011, and the angle adjusting structure of the tripod support leg further comprises an anti-misrotation assembly 30, the anti-misrotation assembly 30 comprises a sliding sleeve 301, the sliding sleeve 301 has a plurality of first guide grooves 3011 and a second guide groove 3012, the first guide grooves 3011 correspond to the protruding keys 2011 one by one, when the sliding sleeve 301 slides, the protruding keys 2011 extend into the first guide grooves 3011 or the guide portion 103 extends into the second guide groove 3012, and the protruding keys 2011 are separated from the first guide grooves 3011, and the sliding sleeve 301 covers one end of the screw rod 201 having the protruding keys 2011.

[0032] It is to be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the guide portion 103 is annular protrusion, the second guide groove 3012 is an annular groove, the center of the sliding sleeve 301 has a through hole 3013, the through hole 3013 communicates with the first guide grooves 3011, and the sliding sleeve 301 is slidably sleeved on the screw rod 201; when the protruding keys 2011 extend into the first guide grooves 3011, the side walls of the protruding keys 2011 fit with the side walls of the first guide grooves 3011, and the screw rod 201 and the sliding sleeve 301 rotate synchronously, that is, when the sliding sleeve 301 rotates circumferentially, the screw rod 201 also rotates circumferentially; when the sliding sleeve 301 slides by a predetermined distance towards the guide portion 103, the guide portion 103 extends into the second guide groove 3012, and the protruding keys 2011 are separated from the first guide grooves 3011; at this time, rotating the sliding sleeve 301 makes the sliding sleeve 301 rotate circumferentially independently relative to the guide portion 103, without rotating the screw rod 201; in addition, because the sliding sleeve 301 is located outside the screw rod 201 and covers the end of the screw rod 201, the phenomenon of unintentionally rotating the screw rod 201 by the user during use is effectively avoided, and the anti-misrotation structure has an advantage over the prior art.

[0033] Further, in order to facilitate the rotation of the support leg body 10 and the extension end 91, the groove width of the groove 101 is greater than the thickness of the extension end 91, and in order to avoid the extension end 91 from making a large relative displacement with the groove 101 during rotation, as shown in Figure 3 the extension end 91 is sleeved with a sealing ring 911, and when the sliding member 202 is separated from the extension end 91, the side surface of the sealing ring 911 is in contact with the two side walls of the groove 101.

[0035] It should be noted that when the screw rod 201 rotates in a direction, the auxiliary pushing member 40 and the sliding member 202 move towards each other, the auxiliary pushing member 40 provides a pushing force to the extension end 91 and pushes the extension end 91 to move closer to the sliding member 202, and at the same time, the sliding member 202 itself moves towards the extension end 91, achieving the purpose of quick abutting.

[0036] Further, in order to increase the angle fixation of the support leg body 10 and the extension end 91, as shown in Figure 4 the side of the extension end 91 close to the sliding member 202 is detachably provided with a rubber pad 912, and the detachable connection manner includes but is not limited to screw connection, and the side of the sliding member 202 close to the rubber pad 912 is provided with a plurality of needle stings 2021, when the sliding member 202 slides a predetermined distance, the needle stings 2021 penetrate into or out of the rubber pad 912.

[0037] It should be noted that when the needle stings 2021 penetrate into the rubber pad 912, the auxiliary pushing member 40 provides a supporting force to the extension end 91.

[0038] Further, in order to facilitate the replacement of the rubber pad 912, as shown in Figure 3As shown, one side wall of the groove 101 is designed separately from the support foot body 10, that is, one side wall of the groove 101 is formed by a dismounting block 1011, which is detachably connected with the support foot body 10 by screw connection. In addition, to avoid the needle 2021 moving towards the slide sleeve 301 during the process of being pulled out of the rubber pad 912, one end of the dismounting block 1011 close to the rubber pad 912 has a limiting portion 1014, and when the extension end 91 abuts against the limiting portion 1014, the extension end 91 cannot move towards the slide sleeve 301 any more.

[0039] Further, when used outdoors, to facilitate the drainage of rainwater falling into the groove 101, as shown, Figure 3 both side walls of the groove 101 have a through inclined hole 1012, and it is worth mentioning that the limiting portion 1014 also functions as a rain eave.

[0040] Further, to achieve the detachable rotary connection of the support foot body 10 and the extension end 91, as shown, Figure 3 both side walls of the groove 101 and the extension end 91 have a through hole 1013, and the angle adjusting structure of the tripod support foot further includes a shaft body 50 and an end cover 501, one end of the shaft body 50 has a blocking portion 502, one end of the shaft body 50 away from the blocking portion 502 penetrates the through holes 1013 on the two side walls of the groove 101 and the extension end 91, and the end cover 501 is detachably connected with the shaft body 50, specifically, the end cover 501 and one end of the shaft body 50 have matching threads, and the end cover 501 is threadedly connected with the shaft body 50.
