Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera mounting technology on bicycles, and more particularly to a camera mounting bracket for bicycles. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, outdoor cycling allows users to experience natural scenery, release stress, alleviate anxiety, and promote the release of dopamine in the brain to improve mood. During cycling, cameras are typically used to record the ride and the scenery encountered. However, it's impossible to continuously hold a camera or phone to record while cycling; therefore, the camera needs to be mounted on a bracket to the handlebars, rear, saddle, or stem of the bicycle. This is usually secured using two adjacent screws on the bicycle. Figure 1 As shown in the image, the distance between two adjacent screw holes on a bicycle varies depending on its location (such as the bottom of the saddle and the handlebars) or the brand. Existing camera mounts for bicycles have fixed screw holes, making them unsuitable for different bicycle frames or different mounting positions on the same bicycle. This necessitates the production of camera mounts of varying sizes to fit different bicycle frames, resulting in a narrow range of applications, a lack of versatility and practicality, inconvenience for users, high manufacturing costs, and the need to purchase new camera mounts when changing bicycles, leading to waste of old mounts and a poor user experience.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, 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 a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 5 This embodiment provides a camera mounting bracket for bicycles, including a main body 10 and a connecting part 20. The main body 10 has a first mounting hole 11 and a second mounting hole 12 spaced apart along its length. The first mounting hole 11 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the length of the main body 10 and / or the second mounting hole 12 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the length of the main body 10. The connecting part 20 is formed by protruding from the side wall of the main body 10. The side wall of the connecting part 20 has a through connecting shaft hole 25 for rotatably connecting with a camera or mobile phone holder through the connecting shaft hole 25.

[0032] As can be seen, the camera mounting bracket for bicycles of this utility model has a main body 10 with a first mounting hole 11 and a second mounting hole 12 spaced apart along its length. The first mounting hole 11 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the length of the main body 10 and / or the second mounting hole 12 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the length of the main body 10. By adopting a strip-shaped hole structure for the first mounting hole 11 or the second mounting hole 12, the screw can slide along the length of the strip-shaped hole to the corresponding mounting position to accommodate the spacing between any two screws on the bicycle. This allows the main body 10 to be installed at any two screw positions on the bicycle, making it suitable for various sizes or types of bicycles. It is convenient for users to choose and install according to their actual needs, easy to use, widely applicable, and has good versatility and practicality. Furthermore, it has a simple and compact structure, low processing cost, and is easy to mass-produce in industrial processing, resulting in a good user experience.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the main body 10 also has a third mounting hole 13, which is located between the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 12. The end faces of the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 12 have positioning circular holes for accommodating screw caps. This configuration allows the third mounting hole 13 to be used for connecting a camera extension rod to a road bike, while the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 12 work together to allow for mounting in multiple positions, making the mounting structure more stable and further enhancing the applicability and reliability of this embodiment. The positioning circular holes on the end faces of the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 12 ensure that when the screw is installed on the bicycle, the screw cap is accommodated within the positioning circular hole, preventing the screw cap from affecting the camera mounting bracket.

[0034] In other embodiments, only one of the first mounting holes 11 and the second mounting hole 12 has a positioning circular hole on its end face for accommodating the screw cap, or neither the first mounting hole 11 nor the second mounting hole 12 has a positioning circular hole. The other settings are the same as in this embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting part 20 includes a support plate and multiple connecting pieces. The support plate protrudes along the side wall of the main body 10, and the plane of the support plate is parallel to the main body 10. The multiple connecting pieces protrude from the top surface of the support plate and are spaced apart along the length of the main body 10. The plane of the connecting pieces is perpendicular to the plane of the support plate. The fact that the support plate protrudes along the side wall of the main body 10 and the multiple connecting pieces protrude from the top surface of the support plate indicates that the support plate, the multiple connecting pieces, and the main body 10 are integrally formed, facilitating manufacturing. This arrangement also results in a more stable structure, less prone to damage, longer service life, and better user experience. The perpendicularity of the plane of the connecting pieces to the plane of the support plate facilitates the fixing and mounting of the camera onto the multiple connecting plates 21 of the connecting part 20, enhancing user convenience and further demonstrating the reliability and practicality of this invention.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the connecting pieces include a first connecting piece 22, a second connecting piece 23, and a third connecting piece 24. These three pieces are spaced apart along the length of the main body 10. A connecting shaft hole 25 is coaxially formed through each of the first connecting piece 22, the second connecting piece 23, and the third connecting piece 24. This arrangement allows a camera or mobile phone holder to be housed within the space between the first connecting piece 22, the second connecting piece 23, and the third connecting piece 24. A shaft passes through the connecting shaft hole 25 and the camera or mobile phone holder to connect the camera or mobile phone holder to the connecting part 20, facilitating user operation.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the central axis of the connecting shaft hole 25 is set parallel to the length direction of the main body 10. When the camera or mobile phone is rotated and connected to the connecting part 20 through the clamp, the main body 10 is prevented from interfering with the rotation of the camera or mobile phone, thereby affecting the user's use. This further improves the reliability and practicality of the product and provides a better user experience.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting shaft hole 25 includes a first through hole 251, a second through hole 252, and a third through hole 253. The first through hole 251 is located on the first connecting piece 22, the second through hole 252 is located on the second connecting piece 23, and the third through hole 253 is located on the third connecting piece 24. The diameters of the second through hole 252 and the third through hole 253 are both larger than the diameter of the first through hole 251. The diameter of the shaft is slightly smaller than the diameters of the second through hole 252 and the third through hole 253, and slightly larger than the diameter of the first through hole 251. When connecting a camera, the shaft is first passed through the second through hole 252 and the third through hole 253, and then through the first shaft hole, so that the shaft and the first through hole 251 have an interference fit. This facilitates the connection of the camera or mobile phone holder while preventing the camera or mobile phone holder from easily detaching from the connecting part 20, further enhancing the safety and reliability of the product.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the first connecting piece 22 and the thickness of the third connecting piece 24 are both less than the thickness of the second connecting piece 23. The smaller thickness of the first connecting piece 22 and the third connecting piece 24 facilitates the connection of the camera or mobile phone clamp to the connecting part 20, while the larger thickness of the second connecting piece 23 ensures the structural strength of the connecting part 20, further enhancing the safety and reliability of the product.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an annular protrusion 221 is provided around the first through hole 251 on the first connecting piece 22. The annular protrusion 221 extends protrudingly from the first connecting piece 22 away from the second connecting piece 23. The annular protrusion 221 is used to reduce damage to the first through hole 251 on the first connecting piece 22 when removing the shaft during the disassembly of the camera or mobile phone clamp bracket, thereby improving the service life of the product and further increasing its applicability and reliability.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, it also includes an auxiliary mounting plate 30. The auxiliary mounting plate 30 has a first fixing hole 31 and a second fixing hole 32 spaced apart along its length. The first fixing hole 31 corresponds to the first mounting hole 11, and the second fixing hole 32 corresponds to the second mounting hole 12. Two screws are inserted into the second fixing hole 32 and the first mounting hole 11, third fixing hole, and second mounting hole 12 respectively to mount the camera bracket on the bicycle. In this way, the present invention can be installed on the bicycle frame without using the bicycle's inherent screws. The main body 10 and the auxiliary mounting plate 30 are clamped together on the bicycle frame for fixation. Furthermore, the installation position is not limited to that of this embodiment; the user can choose to install the camera in their desired position according to their preferences, further improving the product's practicality and reliability.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, one end of the auxiliary mounting plate 30 has a first slot 33, and the other end has a second slot 34. This configuration allows for the auxiliary support and mounting of a camera via the first slot 33 and the second slot 34, ensuring the stability and reliability of the camera during riding. Alternatively, it allows for the connection and mounting of riding aids such as bicycle lights, further enhancing the product's practicality and reliability.

[0043] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0044] This utility model discloses a camera mounting bracket for bicycles. The main body 10 is provided with a first mounting hole 11 and a second mounting hole 12 spaced apart along its length. The first mounting hole 11 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the length of the main body 10, and / or the second mounting hole 12 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the length of the main body 10. By adopting a strip-shaped hole structure for the first mounting hole 11 or the second mounting hole 12, screws can slide along the length of the strip-shaped hole to the corresponding mounting position to accommodate the spacing between any two screws on the bicycle. This allows the main body 10 to be installed at any two screw positions on the bicycle, making it compatible with various sizes or types of bicycles. It is convenient for users to choose and install according to their actual needs, easy to use, widely applicable, and has good versatility and practicality. Furthermore, it has a simple and compact structure, low processing cost, and is easy to mass-produce in industrial processing, resulting in a good user experience.
