Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motion capture technology, specifically a connection structure for a motion capture sensor. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, during stage performances, people have begun to use equipment to sense the actors' body movements in order to generate real-time video content. These sensing devices are integrated into a motion capture system, and the essence of motion capture is to measure, track, and record the trajectory of an object in three-dimensional space. A typical motion capture system generally consists of the following parts. In existing technology, motion capture performance systems are generally divided into a computer software part for analysis and a sensor part for capturing motion. Motion capture sensors are tracking devices fixed to specific parts of the moving object. They provide the software system with the positional information of the moving object's motion, and the number of sensors is generally determined by the level of detail required for capture.

[0003] Currently, most existing motion capture sensors are installed and fixed using bolts, magnets, and adhesives. These installation methods are either inconvenient to install and disassemble or have poor stability and are prone to falling off. Therefore, a connection structure for motion capture sensors is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The connecting mechanism includes a fixed base and a connecting base. The fixed base has a groove, and a guide rod is fixedly installed inside the groove. A movable plate is slidably connected to the guide rod, and a spring is sleeved on the guide rod. An insert block is fixedly installed on the movable plate. The fixed base has a slot, and a push block is fixedly installed on the movable plate. An insert plate is fixedly installed on the connecting base, and an insertion port is opened on the insert plate. The insert block is inserted into the insertion port.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing seat is fixedly mounted on the tension ring, the connecting seat is fixedly mounted on the motion capture sensor, and the insert plate is inserted into the inside of the slot.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6One embodiment of this utility model is: a connection structure for a motion capture sensor, including a tension ring 1, a connection mechanism 2 on the tension ring 1, and a motion capture sensor 4 on the connection mechanism 2;

[0027] The connecting mechanism 2 includes a fixed base 201 and a connecting base 209. The fixed base 201 has a groove 202, and a guide rod 203 is fixedly installed inside the groove 202. A movable plate 205 is slidably connected to the guide rod 203, and a spring 204 is sleeved on the guide rod 203. An insert block 207 is fixedly installed on the movable plate 205.
