Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic equipment technology, and in particular to a softbox support frame and a softbox. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of photography and videography technology, users have increasingly higher requirements for lighting. In order to achieve better lighting effects, modern large photography and videography lights are equipped with photography accessories such as diffusers to improve the lighting effect.

[0003] Most existing softboxes have an umbrella-shaped reflective surface, which occupies a large area when unfolded. As the power of photographic and video lights increases, the size of their softboxes also increases accordingly. In order to meet the needs of transportation and storage, existing softboxes are all equipped with a foldable structure to store the umbrella ribs inside.

[0004] However, the existing softboxes have a relatively complex folding structure for their support frame. When unfolding or folding the softbox ribs, specific tools are required, and the operation process is cumbersome, which affects the user experience and makes the existing softboxes unable to meet the needs of some fast-paced shooting scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a diffuser support frame that can be quickly unfolded or folded to facilitate the use or storage of diffusers.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] According to one aspect of this utility model, a diffuser support frame is provided for connecting the umbrella ribs of a diffuser. The diffuser support frame includes: a first housing with a first mounting position; a second housing with a second mounting position, the second housing being connected to the first housing, and the second mounting position corresponding to the first mounting position; a connector with a limiting end and a connecting end at its two ends, the connecting end being used to connect to the umbrella ribs, the connector also having a rotating part rotatably connected to the second mounting position, allowing the connector to rotate relative to the second housing between an unfolded position and a retracted position; and a locking member installed on the first mounting position and corresponding to the connector, the locking member being movable relative to the first housing between a locked position and an unlocked position; wherein, when the locking member is in the locked position, the limiting end of the locking member abuts against the connector to limit the connector to the unfolded position; when the locking member is in the unlocked position, the limiting end of the locking member disengages from the connector, and the connector is able to rotate between the unfolded position and the retracted position.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the locking member has an abutment and a clearance portion on the side facing the connector, the clearance portion being recessed relative to the connector in a direction away from the connector; wherein, when the locking member is in the locked position, the abutment is located above the limiting end of the connector in the unfolded position, the abutment being able to abut against the limiting end, thereby limiting the connector in the unfolded position; when the locking member is in the unlocked position, the clearance portion is located above the limiting end of the connector in the unfolded position, thereby disengaging the locking member from the limiting end, and allowing the limiting end of the connector to rotate towards or away from the central axis of the second housing through the recess of the clearance portion, so as to rotate between the unfolded position and the retracted position.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the limiting end includes a connected limiting arc surface and a limiting plane, and the abutment portion includes a connected abutting arc surface and abutting plane. The abutting plane is located on the side of the abutting arc surface away from the abutting top, and the limiting arc surface is adapted to the abutting arc surface. When the locking member is in the locked position and the connecting member is in the unfolded position, the abutting top abuts against the limiting plane. When the locking member is in the locked position and the connecting member is in the retracted position, the abutting arc surface abuts against the limiting arc surface, and the abutting plane abuts against the limiting plane.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the diffuser support frame further includes a reset member, one end of which is connected to the locking member and the other end of which is connected to the first housing or the second housing, for driving the locking member to move radially along the first housing and resetting the locking member from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the locking member is provided with a sliding portion, and the first mounting position is provided with a guide portion adapted to the sliding portion. The guide portion extends in the radial direction of the first housing and is recessed in a direction away from the second housing. The sliding portion is connected to the guide portion and is movable along the guide portion.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the locking member has an abutting portion protruding from the side facing the second housing, the abutting portion being used to abut against the second housing to limit the locking member between the first housing and the second housing.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the rotating part is configured as a rotating shaft, which protrudes outward from opposite sides of the limiting end, and is used to rotatably connect to the second mounting position.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the connecting end has a mounting hole on the side opposite to the second housing, and the mounting hole is used to connect the umbrella rib.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, the first housing has a snap-fit ​​portion on the side opposite to the second housing, the snap-fit ​​portion being used to snap-fit ​​a camera light.

[0016] This application also provides a diffuser for connection to a photographic or video lighting device. The diffuser includes a reflective fabric, umbrella ribs, and any of the aforementioned diffuser support frames. The umbrella ribs are made of an elastic material and are used to support the reflective fabric. The reflective fabric forms an umbrella shape when the umbrella ribs are unfolded. The umbrella ribs are connected to the diffuser support frame.

[0017] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0018] In this invention, the diffuser support frame includes a first housing, a second housing, a connector, and a locking member. The first housing has a first mounting position, and the second housing has a second mounting position. The first housing is connected to the second housing, and the first mounting position corresponds to the second mounting position. The connector includes a limiting end and a connecting end. The connecting end connects to the umbrella ribs, and the limiting end is rotatably connected to the second mounting position, allowing the connector to rotate relative to the second housing between an unfolded position and a folded position, thus enabling the support frame to be unfolded or folded. The locking member is installed at the first mounting position and corresponds to the connector. The locking member is movable relative to the first housing between a locked position and an unlocked position, allowing it to abut against and restrict the rotation of the connector, ensuring the stability of the support frame when unfolded or folded, or allowing the locking member to disengage from the connector, enabling the connector to rotate between the unfolded and folded positions, facilitating the unfolding or folding of the support frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that this utility model can have various variations in different embodiments, all of which do not depart from the scope of this utility model, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that, in the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the indications of direction or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back, etc.) are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the accompanying drawings. If the description of the positions of these elements changes, these directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0033] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] Most existing softboxes feature an umbrella-shaped reflective surface, which occupies a significant area when unfolded. As the power of photographic and video lights increases, the size of their softboxes also grows accordingly. To meet the needs of transportation and storage, existing softboxes are designed with a foldable structure to store the umbrella ribs. However, the folding structure of the support frame in existing softboxes is quite complex. Unfolding or folding the umbrella ribs requires specific tools and is cumbersome, impacting the user experience and making existing softboxes unsuitable for fast-paced shooting scenarios. Therefore, a new softbox support frame is proposed to solve the above problems.

[0035] The solution is further illustrated by the following examples:

[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a diffuser support frame according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A 3D view of the diffuser support frame. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Another perspective view of the diffuser support frame.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diffuser in this embodiment can be connected to a photography and videography light to soften the light emitted by the light, so that the light passing through the diffuser meets the needs of photography and videography.

[0038] The diffuser may include a reflective fabric, umbrella ribs, and a diffuser support frame. Specifically, the reflective fabric softens the light emitted by photographic or video lighting, the umbrella ribs support the reflective fabric, and the reflective fabric forms an umbrella shape when the umbrella ribs are unfolded to facilitate the diffuser's light application. The umbrella ribs are connected to the diffuser support frame, allowing the support frame to support both the reflective fabric and the umbrella ribs. In this embodiment, the umbrella ribs are connected to the diffuser support frame, ensuring a stable connection and thus guaranteeing the usability of the diffuser.

[0039] In this embodiment, the diffuser support frame may include a first housing 10, a second housing 20, a connector 30, and a locking member 40. The first housing 10 is connected to the second housing 20. The connector 30 is connected to the second housing 20 and is rotatable relative to the second housing 20. The locking member 40 is connected to the first housing 10 and is disposed towards the second housing 20, and the locking member 40 abuts against the connector 30, thereby restricting the rotation of the connector 30 relative to the second housing 20.

[0040] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Exploded view of the diffuser support frame. Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the locking mechanism of the diffuser support frame.

[0041] See Figure 4 The first housing 10 has a snap-fit ​​part 13 on the side opposite to the second housing 20. The snap-fit ​​part 13 is used to snap-fit ​​a photography and video light, so that the softbox can be detachably connected to the photography and video light, which facilitates the installation or removal of the softbox.

[0042] Meanwhile, the first housing 10 may be provided with a first mounting position 11, which is used to mount the locking member 40, so that the locking member 40 can move relative to the first housing 10 in the radial direction.

[0043] Furthermore, the second housing 20 is connected to the first housing 10. Specifically, the second housing 20 is connected to the first housing 10 by screws 1, thereby facilitating the connection between the second housing 20 and the first housing 10. In some other embodiments, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, thereby fixing the first housing 10 to the second housing 20.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second housing 20 may be provided with a second mounting position 21, and the second mounting position 21 is provided corresponding to the first mounting position 11. The second mounting position 21 is used to install the connector 30, so that the connector 30 can rotate relative to the second housing 20, thereby facilitating the unfolding or storage of the connector 30.

[0045] It should be noted that both the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are configured as annular structures, so that after the camera lamp is attached to the first housing 10, the light emitted by the camera lamp can pass through the annular through holes of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 and shine outward.

[0046] Figure 6 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the diffuser support frame. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A magnified view of point A.

[0047] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The connector 30 may include a limiting end 31 and a connecting end 32 that are spaced apart, that is, the limiting end 31 and the connecting end 32 are located at the two ends of the length direction of the connector 30, respectively.

[0048] The limiting end 31 is rotatably connected to the second mounting position 21, allowing the connector 30 to rotate relative to the second housing 20 and between the unfolded and retracted positions. Specifically, the connector 30 is also provided with a rotating part 301, which is located near the limiting end 31 and rotatably connected to the second mounting position 21. This allows the end of the connector 30 away from the second housing 20 to rotate relative to the second housing 20, i.e., the connecting end 32 can rotate relative to the second housing 20. Furthermore, when the connector 30 rotates relative to the second housing 20, the connecting end 32 rotates in a direction away from or towards the central axis of the second housing 20, thereby allowing the connector 30 to rotate between the unfolded and retracted positions.

[0049] It should be noted that a rotating shaft 313 protrudes from the limiting end 31, extending outward from opposite sides of the limiting end 31, i.e., the rotating shaft 313 is formed on opposite sides of the connector 30 in the width direction. The limiting end 31 is rotatably connected to the second mounting position 21 via the rotating shaft 313. Specifically, the second mounting position 21 is provided with a rotating groove 211, which is used to mount the rotating shaft 313, allowing the connector 30 to rotate relative to the second housing 20.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the second mounting position 21 may be provided with a rotating shaft, and the limiting end 31 may be provided with a mounting hole. The rotating shaft is disposed in the mounting hole, so that the connector 30 can rotate relative to the second housing 20.

[0051] It should be noted that the second mounting position 21 can be set in the shape of a groove to accommodate the limiting end 31 of the connector 30, so as to avoid interference between the limiting end 31 and the second housing 20 when the connector 30 rotates relative to the second housing 20.

[0052] In this embodiment, the connecting end 32 can be used to connect the umbrella ribs, so that the reflective fabric and the umbrella ribs are securely connected to the connecting end 32.

[0053] Specifically, the connecting end 32 has a mounting hole 321 on the side opposite to the second housing 20. The mounting hole 321 is used to insert the umbrella ribs, thereby facilitating the installation of the diffuser.

[0054] In some other embodiments, the connecting end 32 may be provided with a connecting hook or a threaded connection structure to facilitate the connection of the umbrella rib to the connecting member 30.

[0055] Furthermore, it should be noted that when the connector 30 is in the unfolded position, it can connect to the umbrella ribs and support the reflective fabric, allowing both the ribs and the reflective fabric to function properly. When the connector 30 is in the stowed position, it is positioned close to the second housing 20, reducing the overall size of the diffuser support frame and making it easier to store and carry.

[0056] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The locking element 40 can be installed on the first mounting position 11 and is set accordingly for the connecting element 30.

[0057] Specifically, the locking member 40 is movable relative to the first housing 10 in the radial direction, thereby enabling the locking member 40 to move between a locked position and an unlocked position. Of course, in some other embodiments, the locking member 40 is movable relative to the first housing 10 in the circumferential or axial direction, thereby enabling the locking member 40 to move between a locked position and an unlocked position.

[0058] When the locking member 40 is in the locked position, the locking member 40 can abut against the connecting member 30, thereby limiting the connecting member 30 to the unfolded position and preventing the connecting member 30 from rotating relative to the second housing 20, so as to ensure the stability of the diffuser support frame during use.

[0059] Of course, in some other embodiments, when the locking member 40 is in the locked position, the locking member 40 can also limit the connector 30 to the storage position, preventing the connector 30 from rotating relative to the second housing 20, so as to ensure the stability of the diffuser support frame during the storage process.

[0060] When the locking member 40 is in the unlocked position, the locking member 40 is disengaged from the connector, and the connector 30 can rotate between the unfolded position and the stored position, thereby facilitating the use or storage of the diffuser support.

[0061] It should be noted that after the locking member 40 is installed on the first mounting position 11, the locking member 40 extends at least partially out of the first mounting position 11, that is, the locking member 40 is partially exposed outside the first housing 10, so that the operator can directly operate the locking member 40, so that the locking member 40 moves in the radial direction relative to the first housing 10, thereby causing the locking member 40 to rotate between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking member 40 includes a pressing part 45, which protrudes from the first housing 10 so that the operator can directly press and push the locking member 40 relative to the first housing 10 to move.

[0063] In addition, the first mounting position 11 is notched, so that after the locking member 40 is installed in the first mounting position 11, the pressing part 45 can extend out of the first housing 10, thereby facilitating the operation of the locking member 40.

[0064] Figure 8 yes Figure 1Another cross-sectional view of the diffuser support frame. Figure 9 yes Figure 1 Another cross-sectional view of the diffuser support frame. Figure 10 yes Figure 1 Another cross-sectional view of the diffuser support frame.

[0065] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 The locking member 40 may be provided with a top abutment 41 and a relief portion 42, which are located on the side of the locking member 40 facing the limiting end 31, and the relief portion 42 is recessed relative to the top abutment 41 in a direction away from the connector 30. Meanwhile, the top abutment 41 is located on the side of the relief portion 42 facing the first housing 10.

[0066] Specifically, when the locking member 40 is in the locked position, the abutment 41 is located above the limiting end 31 of the connector 30 in the unfolded position, so that the abutment 41 can abut against the limiting end 31 and limit the connector 30 in the unfolded position, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0067] In some other embodiments, when the locking member 40 is in the locked position, the abutment portion 42 can abut against the limiting end 31, thereby limiting the connecting member 30 to the storage position, such as... Figure 10 As shown.

[0068] When the locking member 40 is in the unlocked position, the clearance portion 42 is located above the limiting end 31 of the connecting member 30 in the unfolded position, allowing the clearance portion 42 to avoid the limiting end 31 and causing the locking member 40 to disengage from the limiting end 31. This also allows the limiting end 31 of the connecting member 30 to rotate towards or away from the central axis of the second housing 20 via the recess 423 of the clearance portion 42, thus allowing rotation between the unfolded and retracted positions. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown.

[0069] In this embodiment, the limiting end 31 may include a limiting arc surface 311 and a limiting plane 312 connected together. Meanwhile, the clearance portion 42 may include a contact arc surface 421 and a contact plane 422 connected together. Specifically, the contact plane 422 is located on the side of the contact arc surface 421 away from the contact top 41, and the limiting arc surface 311 is adapted to the contact arc surface 421.

[0070] When the locking member 40 is in the locked position and the connecting member 30 is in the unfolded position, the top 41 abuts against the limiting plane 312 to restrict the connecting member 30 from rotating relative to the second housing 20, so that the connecting member 30 remains in the unfolded state.

[0071] Simultaneously, when the locking member 40 is in the locked position and the connecting member 30 is in the storage position, the abutting arc surface 421 abuts against the limiting arc surface 311, and the abutting plane 422 abuts against the limiting plane 312. This causes the abutting arc surface 421 and the abutting plane 422 to limit the limiting end 31 in two directions. That is, the abutting arc surface 421 abuts against the limiting arc surface 311 to restrict the connecting end 32 from rotating toward the central axis of the second housing 20, and the abutting plane 422 abuts against the limiting plane 312 to restrict the connecting end 32 from rotating away from the central axis of the second housing 20. This restricts the connecting member 30 from rotating relative to the second housing 20, ensuring the stability of the connecting member 30 during storage and carrying.

[0072] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the limiting end 31 can be set to a rectangular shape, and the clearance part 42 can also be set to a rectangular groove adapted to the rectangle, so that when the locking member 40 is in the locked position and the connecting member 30 is in the storage position, the clearance part 42 can limit the limiting end 31 to prevent the connecting member 30 from rotating relative to the second housing 20.

[0073] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The locking member 40 may be provided with a sliding portion 43, and the first mounting position 11 may be provided with a guide portion 12 adapted to the sliding portion 43. The guide portion 12 extends along the radial direction of the first housing 10 and is recessed in a direction away from the second housing 20. The sliding portion 43 is connected to the guide portion 12 and can move along the guide portion 12, thereby allowing the locking member 40 to move relative to the first housing 10 in the radial direction.

[0074] It should be noted that after the sliding part 43 abuts against the guide part 12, the guide part 12 can guide and limit the sliding part 43. At the same time, when the locking member 40 is installed on the first mounting position 11, the side wall of the pressing part 45 abuts against the side wall of the notch of the first mounting position 11, which can also limit the locking member 40 and ensure that the locking member 40 moves radially relative to the locking member 40.

[0075] In this embodiment, the locking member 40 is further provided with an abutment portion 44. The abutment portion 44 protrudes towards the side of the second housing 20, so that the abutment portion 44 can be used to abut against the second housing 20, thereby limiting the locking member 40 between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 in the axial direction and preventing the abutment portion 44 from shaking relative to the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 in the axial direction.

[0076] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The diffuser support frame may also include a reset member 50. One end of the reset member 50 is connected to the locking member 40, and the other end is connected to the first housing 10 or the second housing 20, so as to drive the locking member 40 to move radially along the first housing 10 and reset the locking member 40 from the unlocked position to the locked position, thereby limiting the locking member 40 to the locked position.

[0077] Specifically, the reset member 50 can be configured as a reset spring, a reset sheet, etc., to reset the locking member 40 from the unlocked position to the locked position, so that the locking member 40 is kept in the locked position and abuts against the connecting member 30, thereby ensuring that the connecting member 30 cannot automatically rotate relative to the second housing 20.

[0078] See Figure 6-9 When the connector 30 is in the unfolded position and the locking member 40 is in the locked position, the connector 30 cannot rotate relative to the second housing 20, such as Figure 6 As shown.

[0079] When the locking member 40 is driven by an external force, it overcomes the elastic force of the reset member 50 and moves from the locked position to the unlocked position. At this time, the locking member 40 disengages from the connecting member 30, and the connecting member 30 can rotate relative to the second housing 20 under the drive of the external force, rotating from the unfolded position to the retracted position. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown.

[0080] When the connector 30 rotates to the storage position, the locking member 40, driven by the reset member 50, resets from the unlocked position to the locked position, thus limiting the locking member 40 to the locked position. At this time, the locking member 40 can abut against the connector 30, thereby limiting the connector 30 to the storage position, as shown below. Figure 10 As shown.

[0081] In this embodiment, when the locking member 40 is in the locked position and the connecting member 30 is in the retracted position, rotating the connecting member 30 causes the connecting end 32 to move away from the central axis of the second housing 20. At this point, the limiting end 31 abuts against the locking member 40, allowing the locking member 40 to overcome the limiting effect of the reset member 50. This causes the locking member 40 to move radially along the first housing 10, moving it from the locked position to the unlocked position. Simultaneously, the connecting member 30 can rotate from the retracted position to the unfolded position.

[0082] When the connector 30 rotates from the retracted position to the unfolded position, the locking member 40, driven by the reset member 50, resets from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0083] See Figure 1-4The first housing 10 has multiple first mounting positions 11, which are spaced apart along the periphery of the first housing 10. The second housing 20 also has multiple second mounting positions 21, which are spaced apart along the periphery of the second housing 20. Multiple connectors 30, locking members 40, and reset members 50 are also provided. Each connector 30 corresponds to one of the second mounting positions 21, allowing multiple connectors 30 to connect to multiple umbrella ribs, ensuring a stable connection between the reflective fabric and the umbrella ribs and the diffuser mounting bracket. Simultaneously, each locking member 40 corresponds to one of the first mounting positions 11, and each locking member 40 is connected to a reset member 50, allowing the locking member 40 to limit the movement of the connector 30.

[0084] It should be noted that when the multiple connectors 30 are in the unfolded position, the connectors 30 can drive the umbrella ribs to unfold, causing the reflective fabric to form an umbrella shape. When the multiple connectors 30 are in the folded position, the connectors 30 can drive the umbrella ribs and the light-emitting fabric to fold away, thus facilitating the storage and carrying of the diffuser.

[0085] In summary, the first housing 10 has a first mounting position 11, and the second housing 20 has a second mounting position 21. The first housing 10 is connected to the second housing 20, and the first mounting position 11 corresponds to the second mounting position 21. The connector 30 includes a limiting end 31 and a connecting end 32. The connecting end 32 is used to connect to the umbrella ribs, and the limiting end 31 is rotatably connected to the second mounting position 21, allowing the connector 30 to rotate relative to the second housing 20 between an unfolded position and a folded position, enabling the support frame to be unfolded or folded. The locking member 40 is installed on the first mounting position 11 and corresponds to the connector 30. The locking member 40 can move relative to the first housing 10 to move between a locked position and an unlocked position, so that the locking member 40 can abut against and restrict the rotation of the connecting member 30, ensuring the stability of the support frame when it is unfolded or stored, or allowing the locking member 40 to disengage from the connecting member 30, so that the connecting member 30 can rotate between the unfolded position and the stored position, facilitating the unfolding or storage of the support frame.

[0086] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive.
