Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support frame technology, specifically to a frame support and a frame. Background Technology

[0002] When shooting firearms in the field, the shooting position is usually prone and unsupported. In harsh environments, uneven ground, and jungles with dense vegetation, it is necessary to ensure high shooting accuracy. The shooter needs to hold the firearm steadily and sometimes needs to maintain aim at the target for a long time. It is difficult to maintain a good posture for a long time by human power. Since firearms are generally heavy, they usually need to be supported by a bipod installed under the front handguard. Therefore, a bipod needs to be installed under the barrel to support the weight of the firearm.

[0003] CN106979720B discloses a bipod for a sniper rifle, including an interface base and a base. Two support cylinders are connected to the base. An inner hole is vertically formed on the lower end face of the base. From top to bottom, an upper rubber pad, a spherical hinge, a lower rubber pad, and an adjusting nut are arranged in the inner hole of the base. The lower end face of the upper rubber pad and the upper end face of the lower rubber pad are arc surfaces corresponding to the hinge. The adjusting nut is threaded into the inner hole of the base, providing a vertical force to the lower rubber pad. A connecting rod is provided on the hinge, passing sequentially through the upper rubber pad and the upper end face of the base, and is fixedly connected to the interface base. A transversely limiting oblong hole is provided on the upper end face of the base for the connecting rod to rotate. This allows for adjustment of the support angle and support height of the sniper rifle.

[0004] The base of the above technical solution uses a spherical hinge to achieve multi-angle adjustment. Although this method has extremely high flexibility and can achieve free movement in multiple directions, the spherical hinge cannot guarantee the accuracy of operation under some extreme angles or high-intensity use. Moreover, the spherical hinge is not limited to movement in a single direction, which also means that it is difficult to achieve fine adjustment in a single direction. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] refer to Figures 1-4 A tripod support includes a fixed block 2, a support block 3, and a clamping assembly 4. The fixed block 2 is connected to an external support leg 1. The fixed block 2 is provided with a connecting block 21 that can swing back and forth. The support block 3 and the connecting block 21 are rotatably connected. The swing axis of the support block 3 is perpendicular to the swing axis of the connecting block 21, and the support block 3 can swing left and right relative to the fixed block 2. The clamping assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the support block 3 and can rotate on the plane where the top of the support block 3 is located.

[0022] In this design, the operator connects the clamping assembly 4 to the firearm; the connecting block 21 provides the firearm with a back-and-forth swinging motion, allowing the barrel to be adjusted vertically for aiming; the support block 3 provides the firearm with a left-and-right swinging motion; and the clamping assembly 4 provides the firearm with a rotational motion. By employing multiple adjustable parts to achieve various swinging motions, multi-angle adjustment and fine-tuning are possible, resulting in higher precision.

[0023] Preferably, a first pressing member 22 is provided on one side of the fixing block 2, and a telescopic member 23 that is linked with the first pressing member 22 is provided inside the fixing block 2. A plurality of slots 211 that match the telescopic member 23 are provided on the connecting block 21. The telescopic member 23 and the slots 211 cooperate to fix the swing angle of the connecting block 21. The telescopic member 23 and the slots 211 can be separated by pressing the first pressing member 22.

[0024] In practical applications, when it is necessary to adjust the swing angle of the connecting block 21, the operator can press the first pressing member 22 located on the fixed block 2. The first pressing member 22 can drive the telescopic member 23 back into the fixed block 2 and separate it from the slot 211, so that the connecting block 21 can regain its swing ability. During the adjustment process, the operator needs to continuously press the first pressing member 22 until the adjustment is completed. Then the operator can release the first pressing member 22 to return the telescopic member 23 to its initial position and re-match it with the slot 211 to fix the connecting block 21.

[0025] Furthermore, the first pressing member 22 is provided with a first inclined surface 221; the telescopic member 23 is provided with a second inclined surface 231 that matches the first inclined surface 221, and the second inclined surface 231 and the first inclined surface 221 abut against each other. A spring 25 is also provided between the bottom of the telescopic member 23 and the fixing block 2.

[0026] Specifically, during use, when the operator pushes and presses the first pressing member 22, the first inclined surface 221 pushes the second inclined surface 231, causing the telescopic member 23 to compress the spring 25 and move into the fixed block 2 to retract; after the adjustment is completed, the operator releases the first pressing member 22, and under the action of the spring 25, pushes the telescopic member 23 upward, and pushes the first inclined surface 221 to reset through the second inclined surface 231, so that the first pressing member 22 is reset.

[0027] In this embodiment, the free end of the connecting block 21 is provided with a connecting shaft 212, and the support block 3 is provided with a through hole that matches the connecting shaft 212. The support block 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 212 through the through hole. The side of the support block 3 is provided with a threaded first fixing member 31. By rotating the first fixing member 31, the first fixing member 31 can be pressed against the side of the connecting shaft 212 and the swing angle of the support block 3 can be fixed.

[0028] When in use, the operator needs to first turn the first fixing member 31 located on the side of the support block 3 to loosen the abutment relationship between the first fixing member 31 and the connecting shaft 212. Then, after adjusting the support block 3 to the required angle, turn the first fixing member 31 located on the side of the support block 3 again to make the side of the first fixing member 31 and the connecting shaft 212 abut together to fix the swing angle of the support block 3.

[0029] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided on the free end of the connecting block 21, and a limiting groove matching the limiting block is provided on the side of the support block 3 near the connecting block 21. The limiting block and the limiting groove are used to limit the swing angle of the support block 3.

[0030] Specifically, the limiting groove can be an arc-shaped groove, and the limiting block is movably connected in the arc-shaped groove. By setting the limiting block and the limiting groove, the swing angle of the support block 3 can be limited, ensuring the stability of the tripod while better conforming to the swing angle during normal shooting.

[0031] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 4 includes a rotating base 41 and a clamping member 42 detachably connected to the rotating base 41. The top of the support block 3 is provided with a connecting post 32. The rotating base 41 is rotatably connected to the connecting post 32. The side of the rotating base 41 is provided with a threaded second fixing member 411. By rotating the second fixing member 411, the second fixing member 411 can be pressed against the side of the connecting post 32 and the rotation angle of the rotating base 41 can be fixed.

[0032] In use, the operator first needs to tighten the second fixing member 411 located on the side of the rotating base 41 to loosen the abutment between the second fixing member 411 and the connecting post 32. Then, after rotating the rotating base 41 to the desired position, tighten the second fixing member 411 located on the side of the rotating base 41 again to tighten the abutment between the second fixing member 411 and the side of the connecting post 32 to fix the position of the rotating base 41. The clamping member 42 is detachably connected to the rotating base 41, and the operator can replace different clamping members 42 according to the actual needs of use.

[0033] In this embodiment, both the first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 411 can be bolts or handle screws.

[0034] Preferably, the clamping member 42 includes a fixed seat 421 and a movable seat 422 detachably connected to the rotating seat 41. The fixed seat 421 is provided with a clamping drive mechanism 4211. The movable seat 422 is connected to the clamping drive mechanism 4211 and is located on one side of the movable seat 422. The clamping drive mechanism 4211 is used to drive the movable seat 422 to press against one side of the fixed seat 421.

[0035] Specifically, the operator first releases the abutment relationship between the movable seat 422 and the fixed seat 421 through the clamping drive mechanism 4211, then installs the firearm on the fixed seat 421, and drives the movable seat 422 to abut against one side of the fixed seat 421 through the clamping drive mechanism 4211 to clamp and fix the firearm, which is convenient and quick.

[0036] More specifically, the technical solution disclosed in CN216667095U can be used as a reference for the fixed base 421, the movable base 422, and the clamping drive mechanism 4211. Therefore, the specific structure and operation of the fixed base 421, the movable base 422, and the clamping drive mechanism 4211 will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] refer to Figures 5-6 A tripod includes at least two legs 1 and a tripod support as described in Embodiment 1, wherein the legs 1 are hinged to a fixing block 2.

[0039] Under this design, the tripod support of Embodiment 1 can be used on bipods, tripods or other multipods, so that the clamping component 4 can swing back and forth, swing left and right and rotate. It adopts multiple adjustable parts to achieve multi-angle adjustment and can also make multi-angle fine adjustments, with higher precision.

[0040] In this embodiment, there are two legs 1, and the swing axis of the legs 1 is parallel to the swing axis of the support block 3. Multiple fixing grooves 24 in an arc array are provided at both ends of the fixing block 2. The legs 1 are provided with a second pressing member 11. The second pressing member 11 is provided with a fixing part 111 that swings when pressed. The fixing part 111 and the fixing groove 24 cooperate to fix the included angle between the symmetrically arranged legs 1. The fixing part 111 and the fixing groove 24 can be separated by pressing the second pressing member 11.

[0041] In practical use, by designing the swing axis of the support leg 1 to be parallel to the swing axis of the support block 3, the included angle between the support legs 1 can be adjusted. That is, by adjusting the included angle between the support legs 1, the height of the clamping assembly 4 can be adjusted. Specifically, the operator presses the second pressing member 11 located on the support leg 1 to separate the fixing part 111 on the second pressing member 11 from the fixing groove 24. When adjusting the angle of the support leg 1, the operator needs to continuously press the second pressing member 11 and swing the support leg 1 to the required angle before releasing the pressing member, so that the fixing part 111 re-engages with the fixing groove 24 to fix the support leg 1.

[0042] For more specific details regarding the second pressing element 11 and the fixing groove 24, please refer to the technical solution disclosed in patent CN216667095U.

[0043] Implicitly, the support leg 1 can also adopt a telescopic structure, and the specific structure can be found in the telescopic support leg disclosed in CN118482310A.
