Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tripod accessories, and in particular to a platform ball cup interchangeable tripod horizontal base. Background Technology
[0002] A tripod level is an important accessory for camera tripods, used to ensure that the camera remains level during shooting. This level is usually mounted on the center column of the tripod, providing a stable surface for the camera to rest on. The tripod level provides a solid foundation, ensuring that the camera will not shake or tilt during shooting, thus guaranteeing the quality of photos or videos. Tripod level is usually made of metal or high-strength plastic, with good durability and stability, making it suitable for use in various environments.
[0003] A tripod typically has a horizontal base, with the legs being the main support structure. These legs are usually composed of several extendable metal or carbon fiber tubes, and the ends are often fitted with rubber or hard plastic pads to increase friction and stability. The central column connects the legs and the base, and is also usually extendable to adjust the camera's height. The base, located at the top of the tripod, supports the camera or other equipment and typically has a flat surface or spherical structure for mounting camera mounts or other interchangeable devices.
[0004] However, there are no existing tripod horizontal bases that can be directly mounted without a platform or ball-and-socket adapter. Installing this type of tripod horizontal base requires going over a tripod platform or ball-and-socket adapter, which is cumbersome and complicated. In addition, the overall center of gravity is high, which is unsafe. Furthermore, the weight is too heavy, which is not conducive to carrying and moving. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a platform-ball-cup interchangeable tripod horizontal base, which aims to improve the problem that existing tripod horizontal bases all need to be connected to a tripod platform or ball-cup converter.

[0025] Specifically, the screw 6 is rotated to connect with the inner pressure plate 5 via a thread, and then placed inside the upper bottom cover 7. The upper bottom cover 7 is then placed inside the rubber ring 8, and the rubber ring 8 is placed inside the fixed base 9. Then, the second connector 13 is placed inside the first connector 11 via the copper washer 12, and then the first connector 11 is placed inside the fixed base 9. The mechanism is then connected and fixed by rotating the hexagonal head screw 14 through the spring 10 into the screw 6. The main body is made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel, and is CNC machined and hard surface anodized, making it wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The connecting components include a first hexagon countersunk screw 1 and a second hexagon countersunk screw 3. The outer wall of the first hexagon countersunk screw 1 is threaded into the inside of the clamp 2. The outer wall of the first hexagon countersunk screw 1 is threaded into the inside of the platform 4. The outer wall of the second hexagon countersunk screw 3 is threaded into the inside of the platform 4.

[0027] Specifically, the clamp 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the platform 4 using the first countersunk hex screw 1, and then the platform 4 is fixed to the top of the upper cover 7 using the second countersunk hex screw 3. The head design of the countersunk hex screw is relatively flat, so it can reduce the appearance of the protrusion after installation. This is very advantageous for some occasions with high requirements for appearance (such as furniture manufacturing, electronic equipment, etc.). The countersunk hex screw has a good anti-tightening effect when used and is not easily loosened by external force, which helps to maintain the stability of the fastener.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The screw 6 has an internal threaded connection to a hexagonal head screw 14. The outer wall of the connector 13 is rotatably connected to a handle 17. The handle 17 has an internal rotatably connected to a cylindrical pin 16.

Then, the connector 13 is fixed by an internal hexagonal head screw 14 passing through the cylindrical pin 16. Finally, the connector 15 is connected to the inside of the handle 17 and engaged with the slot 22. Rotating the handle 17 moves the ball screw 15, which then moves within different slots 22. The shifting action is clear, and the operation is easy and effortless, making it very convenient. The device can be disassembled by removing the wrench 21 inside the bottom sliding cover 18. The sliding cover 18 contains a magnet 19 that can attract and fix the wrench 21 to prevent it from falling off. The device uses standardized screws for easy disassembly.
[0030] Working principle: Remove the bottom wrench 21, place the handle 17 on the outer wall of connector 2 13, pass the cylindrical pin 16 through the handle 17 and connect it to connector 2 13, then use the wrench 21 to fix the ball screw 15 inside the handle 17, so that the ball screw 15 enters the slot 22 for locking. Then the handle 17 can be rotated, which drives the threaded ball screw 15 to rotate into the next slot 22 for fixing. Then the internal hex countersunk screw 1 passes through the clamp 2 and is threaded to the platform 4 to fix it. Finally, the screw 6 passes through the upper bottom cover 7 and is threaded to the inner pressure plate 5. The device is connected by threads, and then the upper cover 7 is fixed by threading through the platform 4 with the countersunk head screw 3. The upper cover 7 is then placed inside the sliding connection rubber ring 8, and then the rubber ring 8 is placed inside the sliding connection fixed base 9. The spring 10 is placed inside the connector 11 through the screw 6. Then the connector 11 can be placed inside the sliding connection fixed base 9. Then the connector 2 13 is placed inside the sliding connection connector 11 through the sliding connection copper washer 12. The device is then connected in series and fixed by threading through the device and the screw 6 with the countersunk head screw 14.
