Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary installation tools for camera memory cards, and in particular to a clip. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most cameras use memory cards for data storage. The memory card slot in these cameras is usually located at the rear of the camera body. The slot is small, roughly the same size as the memory card, which is typically 1.6cm long and 1.2cm wide. This makes installation quite inconvenient. Existing installation methods usually involve holding the camera body with one hand and the memory card with the other. However, due to the small slot and narrow surrounding space, the memory card cannot be accurately inserted. Furthermore, due to space constraints, the hand holding the memory card can easily bump into other structures near the slot, causing the memory card to accidentally fall into the camera body. Removing the fallen memory card requires disassembling the camera body, which is very time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clip to solve the problem of inconvenient installation of camera memory cards in the prior art.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A clamp includes a fixed clamp handle and a movable clamp handle, the movable clamp handle being rotatably connected to the fixed clamp handle and having a return spring at the pivot for applying a spring force to the movable clamp handle to cause the movable clamp handle to flip toward the front end of the fixed clamp handle, the movable clamp handle and the front end of the fixed clamp handle together forming a clamping part, and also includes an operating handle, the operating handle being connected to the fixed clamp handle and at least a portion of the handle section being parallel to the extending direction of the fixed clamp handle.
[0006] Furthermore, the operating handle includes a horizontal section and a bent section, wherein the horizontal section is fixedly connected to the fixed clamp and extends in a parallel direction.
[0007] Furthermore, the bent segment is perpendicular to the horizontal segment.
[0008] Furthermore, the bent section and the horizontal section are an integral structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamping surfaces of the movable clamping handle and the fixed clamping handle are provided with friction structures to increase the friction between the clamping surfaces and the clamping components.
[0010] Furthermore, the friction structure is a sawtooth structure, with the sawtooth structures on the two clamps meshing with each other.
[0011] Beneficial Effects: This utility model is a pioneering invention. The movable clamping handle is rotatably connected to the fixed clamping handle and a return spring is provided at the pivot. The front ends of the movable and fixed clamping handles together form the clamping part. When the tail end of the movable clamping handle is pressed down, the front end of the movable clamping handle can separate from the front end of the fixed clamping handle, forming an opening. After the memory card is placed into the opening, the movable clamping handle is released, and the movable clamping handle automatically returns to its original position, thus clamping the memory card. Then, by holding the operating handle, the memory card is pushed into the card slot on the camera body. Because the operating handle is far from the card slot, it avoids interference from the narrow space around the card slot, making operation convenient and preventing the memory card from falling out. At the same time, since at least a part of the handle section is parallel to the extension direction of the fixed clamping handle, after the clamp holds the memory card, the memory card and the fixed clamping handle are nearly parallel. Thus, when pushing the memory card into the card slot, the direction of force is basically parallel to the direction of pushing the memory card in. You only need to push forward, avoiding hand entanglement, making operation more convenient and effortless. Attached Figure Description

[0014] This invention provides a clip to solve the problem of inconvenient installation of camera memory cards in existing technologies. The basic inventive concept of this invention is to eliminate the need for manual installation of memory cards, instead using a clip to hold the memory card. The clip has an operating handle; by applying force to the operating handle, the memory card is pushed into the card slot using the clip. The angle of the operating handle is designed so that the direction of force application is almost parallel to the direction of memory card insertion, making memory card installation more convenient, easier, and less strenuous.
[0015] Based on the above inventive concept, the embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below.
[0016] like Figure 1As shown, the clamp includes a fixed clamp handle 1, a movable clamp handle 2, and an operating handle 5. The movable clamp handle 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed clamp handle 1 via a pivot 3, and a return spring is provided at the pivot 3. The return spring applies a spring force to the movable clamp handle 2, causing it to flip towards the front end of the fixed clamp handle 1 to clamp the memory card. The movable clamp handle 2 and the front end of the fixed clamp handle 1 together form the clamping part 4. The operating handle 5 is connected to the tail end of the fixed clamp handle 1. The operating handle 5 includes a horizontal section 501 and a bent section 502, which are perpendicular to each other. The horizontal section 501 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the fixed clamp handle 1 and extends in parallel directions. After clamping the memory card at the front end of the clamp, hold the bent section 502 and push the clamp forward along with the memory card to push the memory card into the card slot.
[0017] The operating handle 5 features a bent section 502 as a handgrip. Applying force to the bent section 502, compared to directly gripping the horizontal section 501, makes it easier to hold, more flexible to operate, and less strenuous. The bent section 502 and the horizontal section 501 are perpendicular to each other, so the direction of force when gripping the bent section 502 is essentially parallel to the direction the memory card is pushed in. Simply push forward smoothly, avoiding hand strain and making operation more convenient and effortless. The bent section 502 and the horizontal section 501 are integrated into a single structure, resulting in a simple overall structure for the operating handle 5, which is easy to manufacture.
[0018] The movable clamping handle 2 and the fixed clamping handle 1 have friction structures on their clamping surfaces to increase the friction between the clamping surfaces and the memory card, making the clamping more secure and preventing the memory card from falling out. Specifically, the friction structure is a serrated structure 6, with the serrated structures 6 on the two clamping handles interlocking. The serrated structure effectively increases the friction between the clamping surfaces and the memory card, resulting in a more stable clamping.
[0019] When using this clip to install a memory card, first clamp the memory card to the front end of the clip. Then, holding the operating handle, push the memory card into the slot on the camera body. The clip can easily reach into narrow areas, making operation convenient and ensuring a secure grip, preventing the memory card from falling out. Apply force by holding the bent section of the operating handle, with the direction of force roughly parallel to the direction the memory card is pushed in. Simply push forward smoothly; the operation is easy and effortless, allowing for effortless memory card installation.
[0020] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described above.
[0021] For example, in other embodiments, the operating handle may be a straight handle that extends parallel to the fixed clamp handle without a bent section, and the tail of the operating handle can be held directly during operation.
[0022] For example, in other embodiments, the bent section and the horizontal section of the operating handle may have an included angle, which may be an angle other than 90°, such as 60°, 120°, etc.
[0023] For example, in other embodiments, the bent section and the horizontal section of the operating handle can also be separate structures, which are welded together or fixedly connected by screws.
[0024] For example, in other embodiments, a frosted layer can be provided on the clamping surfaces of the movable clamping handle and the fixed clamping handle as a friction structure to increase the friction between the clamping surface and the clamping component.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. The patent protection scope of the present utility model shall be determined by the claims. Similarly, any equivalent structural changes made based on the description and drawings of the present utility model shall also be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
