[0042] Please see Figure 1-6This article provides a power supply base 10, including a base 1, an electronic control component 2, and a connection interface 3. The base 1 has a mounting slot 11 for detachably installing a battery 20. The electronic control component 2 is disposed in the base 1 and can be electrically connected to the battery 20 installed in the mounting slot 11. The connection interface 3 is disposed in the base 1 and electrically connected to the electronic control component 2 for electrically connecting to a shooting device.

[0043] With this configuration, when using the shooting device, the user can electrically connect and install the base 1 to the shooting device via the connection interface 3, and when needed, the battery 20 can be installed and fixed in the mounting slot 11. This configuration, with the base 1 having a structure to hold the battery 20, allows the user to shoot while using the camera, greatly simplifying the process. It is worth noting that the shooting device mentioned in this article can be a portable camera, such as an action camera, like the Pocket 3.

[0044] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The connection interface 3 may include a first interface 31 and a quick-release assembly 32. The first interface 31 is electrically connected to the shooting device, and the quick-release assembly 32 ensures stable installation of the base 1 and the shooting device. Specifically, the base 1 can be elongated for easy handheld use. The quick-release assembly 32 includes a trigger 321, a first clamping member 322, and a second clamping member 323. The first interface 31 is located between the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323. After the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 are clamped to both sides of the shooting device, the first interface 31 is inserted into the shooting device in the middle, adding a stabilizing effect to the installation. The first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 are elastically disposed on the base 1, specifically by means of a spring. The trigger 321 is disposed on the base 1 and engages with the inclined surfaces of the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 to trigger their movement. With this configuration, the user can press the trigger 321, causing the trigger 321 to press against the first clamp 322 and the second clamp 323 via the inclined surface. The first clamp 322 and the second clamp 323 can open to be clamped onto the shooting device. After installation, the user can release the trigger 321, and the first clamp 322 and the second clamp 323 will reset and be able to press against the trigger 321 via the inclined surface to reset. Similarly, the disassembly process is the same as above, which will not be discussed in detail here.

[0045] On the one hand, please see Figure 3 , Figure 4For the removal and installation of battery 20, the power supply base 10 of this invention includes a locking component 4, which is movably connected to the base 1 and has a locking end 421. The locking component 4 is movable relative to the base 1 so that the locking end 421 can lock battery 20 in the mounting groove 11. This configuration is used to fix battery 20 on power supply base 10. Specifically, the groove wall of mounting groove 11 also includes a limiting hole 13. The locking component 4 includes an operating part 41 and a locking part 42. The locking part 42 is elastically connected to the base 1 and has a locking end 421. The operating part 41 and the locking part 42 are linked to trigger the locking part 42 to move relative to the base 1. During installation, the user can first insert one end of the battery 20 into the limiting hole 13, and then push the other end of the battery 20 into the mounting groove 11. The battery 20 presses against the locking end 421, causing the locking part 42 to retract inward toward the base 1. After installation, the locking part 42 can elastically reset to hold the battery 20. In this method, some openings of the locking part 42 toward the mounting groove 11 can have guide surfaces 4211, specifically inclined surfaces or arc surfaces, which facilitate the sliding of the battery 20 into the mounting groove 11. This design makes it easy for the battery 20 to slide into the mounting groove 11 and press against the locking end 421. Alternatively, the user can first press the operating part 41 to retract the locking part 42, place the battery 20 into the mounting groove 11, and then release the operating part 41 to reset the locking part 42. The reset of the locking part 42 drives the operating part 41 to reset, and the locking end 421 of the locking part 42 can hold the battery 20. When it is necessary to remove the battery 20, the operating part 41 can be pressed, causing the operating part 41 to retract the locking part 42, thereby facilitating the removal of the battery 20. Specifically, the base 1 has an opening 12, and the locking end 421 of the locking part 42 can extend out of the mounting groove 11 from the opening 12 to lock the battery 20.

[0046] It is worth noting that the limiting hole 13 and the locking assembly 4 are located on opposite sides of the mounting groove 11, such as the upper and lower parts, to facilitate bidirectional locking of the battery 20. Specifically, the locking part 42 has a first inclined surface 422, and the operating part 41 is disposed on the base 1 and has a second inclined surface 413. When the operating part 41 is pressed, the operating part 41 can abut against the first inclined surface 422 through the second inclined surface 413, so that the locking part 42 moves in the direction of retraction towards the base 1. When the operating part 41 is released, the locking part 42 resets, and can abut against the second inclined surface 413 through the first inclined surface 422, so that the operating part 41 resets. With this configuration, when the operating part 41 is pressed, the second inclined surface 413 of the operating part 41 can abut against the first inclined surface 422, so that the locking part 42 retracts; when the operating part 41 is released, the locking part 42 resets under the action of the spring, and the first inclined surface 422 of the locking part 42 can abut against the second inclined surface 413, so that the operating part 41 also resets. During the reset process of the operating part 41, the operating part 41 includes an operating end 411 and a stop end 412 at both ends. The operating end 411 is located outside the base 1, and the stop end 412 can abut against the side of the locking part 42 opposite to the operating end 411 to stop the movement of the operating part 41. With this configuration, during the process of the locking part 42 resetting to drive the operating part 41 to reset, the stop end 412 can effectively prevent the operating part 41 from excessively disengaging.

[0047] On one hand, the electronic control assembly 2 also includes a first electrical connector 21, which is housed in a limiting hole 13. A second electrical connector 201 of the battery 20 can be inserted into the limiting hole 13 and electrically connected to the first electrical connector 21. This configuration allows the second electrical connector 201 of the battery 20 to be inserted into the limiting hole 13 and mated with the first electrical connector 21 during installation, thus ensuring the stability of the electrical contact of the battery 20. Specifically, the first electrical connector 21 and the second electrical connector 201 can be contact pins.

[0048] Regarding the functionality of the power supply base 10, the first interface 31 can be a power supply interface, or a data transmission or control interface 6, used to transmit shooting equipment data or to facilitate users using control terminals to control the shooting parameters of the shooting equipment. For example, in the first aspect, the first interface 31 can be used for data transmission. The power supply base 10 also includes an output interface 5, which is located on the base 1 and electrically connected to the electronic control component 2. Data from the shooting equipment can be input through the first interface 31 (connection interface 3) and output through the output interface 5 to other devices required by the user. The output interface 5 can be electrically connected to monitors or image transmission devices, etc. Specifically, the first interface 31 can be a Type-C interface, and the output interface 5 can be an HDMI_OUT interface; corresponding data cables can be connected through these interfaces to perform corresponding functions. On the other hand, the first interface 31 can serve a control function. The base 1 also includes a control interface 6, which is electrically connected to the electronic control component 2. The control interface 6 can be a Type-C interface. The control interface 6 is used to electrically connect to a control terminal, so that data from the control terminal can be transmitted to the shooting device via the connection interface 3 (first interface 31). Alternatively, the control interface 6 can be used to electrically connect to an external power supply, so that the external power supply can power the shooting device via the connection interface 3. Furthermore, the control interface 6 may also have positioning holes 61 on both sides to accommodate a data cable 30 with a relative positioning post 301, such as... Figure 6 As shown, with this setup, the user can control the shooting device via a control terminal, such as a control handle. Control commands from the control handle can reach the shooting device via control interface 6 and the first interface 31, causing the shooting device to execute the control commands. On one hand, control interface 6 and the first interface 31 also provide power; the user can connect an external power source via control interface 6, allowing power from the external power source to reach the shooting device via control interface 6 and the first interface 31. On the other hand, a 2.4G wireless module (2.4G antenna) 22 can also wirelessly connect to the control terminal to receive control commands from the control terminal and transmit them to the shooting device via the first interface 31.

[0049] On the other hand, the power supply base 10 may also have a display screen 7 and function keys 8. The display screen 7 can show whether the control method is 2.4G wireless connection or wired connection, and can also show the current working status, etc. The function keys 8 can be used for menu selection or parameter adjustment, etc.
