Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a quick-release assembly for a camera. [Background Technology]

[0002] Quick-release mechanisms, as camera accessories, are fixing mechanisms used to connect a camera to a tripod head. They allow for quick mounting and dismounting of the camera from the tripod head, hence the name "quick-release mechanism." Quick-release mechanisms are a very important auxiliary accessory for cameras, and there are many types on the market with varying quality. A quick-release mechanism generally consists of a base and a quick-release plate. One of the base and quick-release plate is used to fix the camera to the tripod head, and the other is used to fix the camera, thus enabling indirect mounting of the camera to the tripod head.

[0003] When people travel, they often carry cameras and video cameras to capture local scenery and memories for future enjoyment. To facilitate this, users often attach quick-release components to shoulder straps, bag straps, or other similar accessories. These accessories typically hold the camera around the neck or waist, freeing the user's hands for other tasks. However, current quick-release components are usually integrated with flexible shoulder straps or bag straps using a drawstring, which is problematic because these straps are flexible.

[0004] However, the existing quick-release components are very inconvenient to connect with the tightening cord, and even more inconvenient to connect with backpacks or bags. Moreover, the existing quick-release plates have a complex structure, generally only having a locking mechanism, making it easy for the quick-release plate to fall off the quick-release base, resulting in an unstable connection. [Summary of the Invention]

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a quick-release plate and quick-release base that are firmly connected and equipped with a safety button. The connection between the quick-release plate and quick-release base is more secure and convenient for connecting with the tightening rope. It is also more convenient for connecting with bags such as backpacks or hanging bags for cameras.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0007] A quick-release assembly for a camera includes a quick-release base with dovetail grooves on one side for inserting a quick-release plate for mounting the camera. The quick-release base is characterized by a positioning block on one side of the other side, with an elastic trigger next to the positioning block; a liftable latch on the other side of the quick-release base; the quick-release base also includes an elastic button for raising and lowering the latch; the quick-release plate has a first latch and a second latch on one side. When the quick-release plate is inserted into the quick-release base, the first latch triggers the elastic trigger and engages with the positioning block; the second latch engages with the latch to fix the quick-release plate onto the quick-release base.

[0008] As described above, a quick-release assembly for a camera is characterized in that the elastic button includes a button body, one side of which extends out of the quick-release base. The button body is slidably disposed within the quick-release base, and the quick-release base is further provided with a first reset spring that drives the button body to reset. A limiting groove is provided on one side of the button body, and a passive inclined block is provided on the other side of the button body.

[0009] As described above, a quick-release assembly for a camera is characterized in that the latch is vertically and retractably disposed within the quick-release base, the latch including a latch body, the latch body having an active inclined groove for the passive inclined block of the button body to be inserted into.

[0010] As described above, a quick-release assembly for a camera is characterized in that the elastic trigger includes a trigger body, which is slidably disposed within the quick-release base. The outer side of the trigger body is provided with a trigger block extending out of the top surface of the quick-release base, and the inner side of the trigger body is provided with a limiting post that engages with the limiting groove of the button body. The quick-release base is also provided with a second reset spring that drives the trigger body to reset.

[0011] The quick-release assembly for a camera described above is characterized in that the quick-release base is further hinged to a hanging plate, the hanging plate being provided with a knob.

[0012] The quick-release assembly for a camera as described above is characterized in that the quick-release base includes a housing, the bottom of which is provided with a bottom cover, and the bottom cover is provided with a lanyard hole for attaching a shoulder strap.

[0013] As described above, a quick-release assembly for a camera is characterized in that the top surface of the quick-release base is provided with a mounting groove, and a magnetic wrench for tightening camera screws is magnetically attracted in the mounting groove.

[0014] As described above, a quick-release assembly for a camera is characterized in that the housing of the quick-release base is provided with an inner mounting groove, and a magnetic wrench for tightening camera screws is provided in the inner mounting groove.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] During installation, the quick-release plate engages with the dovetail grooves of the quick-release base. The first locking block of the quick-release plate triggers the elastic trigger, causing the latch to rise and the safety button to spring back and lock. During disassembly, the safety button must first be pressed. The button lowers the latch, and the trigger simultaneously limits the button's movement, allowing the quick-release plate to be removed. The quick-release plate and quick-release base are securely connected, ensuring a safer connection.

[0017] This utility model also has a hanging plate hinged to the quick-release base, and the hanging plate is equipped with a hook for hanging a backpack, which is very convenient.

[0018] This utility model has a lanyard hole for hanging shoulder straps on the bottom cover of the quick-release base. The bottom cover is fixed to the quick-release base, which makes it very convenient and secure to hang shoulder straps. [Attached Image Description]

The second latch 22 engages with the latch 5 to fix the quick-release plate 2 onto the quick-release base 1. During installation, the quick-release plate 2 is inserted into the dovetail grooves 11 of the quick-release base 1. The first latch 21 of the quick-release plate 2 triggers the elastic trigger 4, the latch 5 rises, and the safety button 6 springs back to lock. During disassembly, the elastic button 6, which acts as a safety device, must be pressed first. The elastic button 6 causes the latch 5 to descend, and the trigger 4 engages in the limiting groove of the elastic button 6 to act as a limit, thereby allowing the quick-release plate 2 to be removed.

[0033] Preferably, the quick-release plate 2, the first locking block 21, and the second locking block 22 are integrated into one structure.

[0034] In this embodiment, the quick-release plate 2 has beveled edges 201 on one pair of sides that mate with a pair of dovetail grooves 11 of the quick-release base 1. The quick-release plate 2 is also provided with quick-release plate screws 202 for easy fixing to the camera.

[0035] In this embodiment, the elastic button 6 includes a button body 61, one side of which extends out of the quick-release seat 1.
