[0002] Animation is an art form that combines painting, film, digital media, photography, music, and literature. Currently, it is mainly defined as a video technique that uses frame-by-frame photography to capture objects and play them continuously to create motion. The main characteristic of the photography method used to shoot animated films is frame-by-frame shooting. The scene needs to be captured as a series of pictures, and the movements of the objects and characters in the pictures are interconnected. These pictures are then captured frame by frame and played back. During the animation shooting process, a tripod is needed to support the shooting equipment.

[0003] Currently, existing animation shooting rigs still have some shortcomings in actual use. On the one hand, the rigs are inconvenient to store and carry. Previous rigs had complex structures, and special tools were often needed for storage. The disassembly and assembly process was cumbersome, consuming a lot of time and energy for the animation shooting team and affecting the efficiency of quickly transferring equipment between different locations.

[0023] This application provides an animation shooting stand that effectively solves the problem of inconvenient storage and carrying of existing animation shooting stands. When storing the stand, simply press the support rod to overcome the elastic force of the arc spring and retract it. Push the slider upward to retract the support rod into the cylinder. Then, the push ring drives the limiting block to move and rotate, locking it into the arc-shaped slot to complete the limiting. The operation steps are simple and clear, requiring no complicated tools or professional skills, which greatly improves the convenience of storing and carrying the stand and makes it easier for animation shooting teams to quickly switch equipment status in different locations.

[0024] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problem of the inconvenience of storing and carrying existing animation shooting rigs. The overall idea is as follows:

[0025] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a support for animation shooting, including a cylindrical body 1. A connecting seat 11 is provided at the top of the cylindrical body 1. The interior of the cylindrical body 1 is hollow, and an opening is provided at the bottom. A slider 2 is slidably installed inside the cylindrical body 1. Three grooves 21 are equidistantly formed on the circumference of the surface of the slider 2. A support rod 3 is connected to each groove 21. A connecting shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the top of each support rod 3. Each connecting shaft 31 is rotatably installed in the groove 21. A sliding rod 32 is fixedly installed on each support rod 3. An arc spring 33 is movably sleeved on each sliding rod 32. Each support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 21 through the arc spring 33. Three clearance grooves 22 are formed inside the slider 2, each clearance groove 22 communicating with the groove 21. Each sliding rod... 32 are respectively inserted into the clearance groove 22. Three blocks 14 are fixedly installed at equal intervals around the bottom circumference of the cylinder 1 to limit the angle of the support rod 3 after it is unfolded. There is a height difference between the three clearance grooves 22. Each slide rod 32 and each clearance groove 22 is designed in an arc shape. A connecting column 4 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the slider 2. Limiting blocks 41 are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting column 4. A push ring 5 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the cylinder 1. Limiting grooves 12 are opened on both sides of the cylinder 1. Each limiting block 41 moves through the limiting groove 12 and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the push ring 5. Arc-shaped slots 13 are opened on both sides of the cylinder 1. The two limiting grooves 12 are respectively connected to the two arc-shaped slots 13. Each limiting block 41 is rotated and inserted into the arc-shaped slot 13 to limit the position of the push ring 5.

[0026] When the bracket is needed, first push the push ring 5 downwards. The push ring 5, through its connection with the limiting block 41, drives the connecting column 4 and the connected slider 2 to move downwards. As the slider 2 moves downwards, the support rod 3, which was originally retracted inside the cylinder, gradually emerges. Due to the height difference between the three clearance slots 22, and the fact that both the slider 32 and the clearance slots 22 are arc-shaped, the slider 32 slides within the clearance slots 22 during the downward movement of the slider 2. Guided by the shape of the clearance slots 22, the support rod 3 gradually rotates outwards around the connecting shaft 31 and unfolds. When the support rod 3 unfolds to a certain angle, it is blocked by the stop blocks 14, which are equidistantly fixed to the bottom circumference of the cylinder 1, thus limiting the unfolding angle of the support rod 3. At this time, the bracket is in a stable support state and can be used to place shooting equipment.

[0027] When the bracket needs to be stored, first press the three support rods 3, causing the support rods 3 to retract inward against the elastic force of the arc spring 33. During the retraction process, the slide rod 32 slides in the opposite direction in the clearance groove 22. When the support rod 3 retracts to a certain extent, push the slider 2 to move upward. At this time, the slider 2 moves together with the retracted support rod 3 into the cylinder 1. Then push the push ring 5 to move upward. The push ring 5 drives the limiting block 41 to move upward along the limiting groove 12. When the limiting block 41 moves to the position of the arc-shaped slot 13, rotate the push ring 5 so that the limiting block 41 rotates and is locked into the arc-shaped slot 13, thereby limiting the position of the push ring 5 and the connected slider 2 and other components, completing the storage of the bracket.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] First, when the bracket is needed, push the push ring 5 downwards. The push ring 5, through its connection with the limiting block 41, drives the connecting column 4 and the connected slider 2 downwards. As the slider 2 moves downwards, the support rod 3, which was originally retracted inside the cylinder, gradually emerges. Due to the height difference between the three clearance slots 22, and the fact that both the slider 32 and the clearance slots 22 are arc-shaped, the slider 32 slides within the clearance slots 22 during the downward movement of the slider 2. Guided by the shape of the clearance slots 22, the support rod 3 gradually rotates outwards around the connecting shaft 31 and unfolds. When the support rod 3 unfolds to a certain angle, it is blocked by the stop blocks 14, which are equidistantly fixed to the bottom circumference of the cylinder 1, thus limiting the unfolding angle of the support rod 3. At this time, the bracket is in a stable support state and can be used to place shooting equipment.

[0030] The second step is to press the three support rods 3 when the bracket needs to be stored. This causes the support rods 3 to retract inward against the elastic force of the arc spring 33. During the retraction process, the slide rod 32 slides in the opposite direction in the clearance groove 22. When the support rod 3 retracts to a certain extent, it pushes the slider 2 to move upward. At this time, the slider 2 moves together with the retracted support rod 3 into the cylinder 1. Then, it pushes the push ring 5 to move upward. The push ring 5 drives the limiting block 41 to move upward along the limiting groove 12. When the limiting block 41 moves to the position of the arc groove 13, the push ring 5 is rotated so that the limiting block 41 rotates and is locked into the arc groove 13. This limits the position of the push ring 5 and the connected slider 2 and other components, thus completing the storage of the bracket.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
