Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, specifically a novel foldable and retractable stage lighting tripod. Background Technology

[0002] In venues such as stages and theaters, a large amount of lighting is often used to create the stage atmosphere. Stage lights generally need to be installed with appropriate installation devices so that they can be positioned at a high position to illuminate the stage and reduce the impact of surrounding obstacles on the lighting.

[0003] Tripods are commonly used support devices. Existing tripods have support legs that can be stored on the outside of the support rod. This storage method results in many sharp edges on the outside of the tripod, which can easily scratch other items. In addition, the size of the tripod after storage is still large, which is inconvenient for users to store and transport. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel foldable and retractable stage lighting tripod.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel foldable and retractable stage lighting tripod includes a mounting sleeve, a connecting seat, and several support legs. The mounting sleeve is adapted to the connecting seat. One end of the connecting seat has an external thread on its outer side wall, and one end of the mounting sleeve has an internal thread on its inner side wall. The external and internal threads are adapted to each other. The mounting seat is screwed into one end of the mounting sleeve through the external and internal threads. Several mounting slots are evenly distributed at the other end of the connecting seat. One end of each support leg is inserted into a mounting slot, and the support leg is hinged to the connecting seat through a pivot, allowing the support leg to fold in the mounting slot. Each support leg is adapted to the mounting sleeve, so that when each support leg and the connecting seat are in a vertical state, each support leg can be inserted into the mounting sleeve. The end of the connecting seat near the support leg is connected to the mounting sleeve with sliding damping.

[0007] Furthermore, the maximum folding angle of the support leg in the mounting groove is ninety degrees.

[0008] Furthermore, a damping washer is installed on the outer wall of the end of the connector away from the external thread.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided in the middle of the connecting seat. The limiting plate is adapted to the mounting sleeve so that the limiting plate can abut against the end of the mounting sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the connector has an internal groove at one end with an external thread, and a pull plate is provided in the internal groove.

[0011] Furthermore, an anti-slip sleeve is installed at the end of the support leg away from the connecting seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the number of supporting legs is three.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a novel foldable and retractable stage lighting tripod, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This novel foldable and retractable stage lighting tripod folds its support legs together and then inserts them into the mounting sleeve. This creates a sliding damping connection between the connecting seat and the mounting sleeve, allowing the connecting seat to engage with the mounting sleeve and preventing the connecting seat from detaching from the support legs. To use this tripod, simply remove the mounting seat and support legs from the mounting sleeve, screw the external thread of the connecting seat onto the internal thread of the mounting sleeve, and unfold the support legs. This device effectively reduces the tripod's storage volume, resulting in a smooth, bump-free surface after folding, making it easy for users to move and store. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0022] A novel foldable and retractable stage lighting tripod includes a mounting sleeve 1, a connecting base 2, and several supporting legs 3. The mounting sleeve 1 is adapted to the connecting base 2, allowing both ends of the connecting base 2 to be installed into the mounting sleeve 1. One end of the connecting base 2 has an external thread 23 on its outer side wall, and one end of the mounting sleeve 1 has an internal thread. The external thread 23 and the internal thread are adapted to each other. The mounting base is screwed into one end of the mounting sleeve 1 via the external thread 23 and the internal thread, thus fixing one end of the connecting base 2 to the mounting sleeve 1. The other end of the connecting base 2 has several evenly spaced mounting slots 24. One end of each supporting leg 3 is inserted into a mounting slot 24, and the supporting leg 3 is connected to the connecting sleeve 1 via a pivot. The seat 2 is hinged, allowing the support rod 3 to be folded into the mounting slot 24. The support rod 3 can be in a vertical state or folded into a horizontal state. Each support rod 3 is adapted to the mounting sleeve 1, so that when each support rod 3 and the connecting seat 2 are in a vertical state, each support rod 3 can be inserted into the mounting sleeve 1. The housing of the mounting sleeve 1 covers each support rod 3. The end of the connecting seat 2 near the support rod 3 is connected to the mounting sleeve 1 with sliding damping, so that after each support rod 3 is inserted into the mounting sleeve 1, the connecting seat 2 is inserted into the mounting sleeve 1, sealing the end of the mounting sleeve 1. And because the two are connected with sliding damping, the connecting seat 2 cannot fall out of the mounting sleeve 1 without the action of external force.

[0023] The maximum bending angle of the support rod 3 in the mounting groove is 90 degrees, that is, the support rod 3 can be bent at 90 degrees at the connecting seat 2.

[0024] A damping washer 25 is installed on the outer wall of the end of the connecting seat 2 away from the external thread 23. After the end of the connecting seat 2 where the support rod 3 is installed is inserted into the mounting sleeve 1, the damping washer 25 can be tightly compressed between the connecting seat 2 and the mounting sleeve 1 under the elastic deformation of the damping washer 25, forming a large damping force.

[0025] A limiting plate 22 is provided in the middle of the connecting seat 2. The limiting plate 22 is adapted to the mounting sleeve 1 so that the limiting can abut against the end of the mounting sleeve 1 to prevent the connecting seat 2 from being inserted too much into the mounting sleeve 1.

[0026] The connector 2 has an inner groove at one end with an external thread 23. A pull plate 21 is provided in the inner groove, which allows the user to pull the pull plate 21 by hand and pull out the connector 2.

[0027] An anti-slip sleeve 31 is installed at the end of the support leg 3 away from the connecting seat 2. The anti-slip sleeve 31 can enhance the friction of the support leg 3.

[0028] The number of support legs 3 is three, forming a stable tripod structure.

[0029] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0030] When using this new type of foldable and retractable stage lighting tripod, the user can pull out the connecting seat 2 and each support leg 3 through the pull plate 21 in the inner groove at the end of the connecting seat 2. Then, the end of the connecting seat 2 away from the support leg 3 is screwed into the inner thread at the end of the mounting sleeve 1 through the external thread 23 on its outer side wall. Then, the connecting seat 2 is installed at the end of the mounting sleeve 1. Then, each support leg 3 is folded up ninety degrees and unfolded, and the tripod can be used.

[0031] When the tripod needs to be stored, first fold each support leg 3 so that the support leg 3 and the connecting seat 2 are in a vertical state. Then rotate the connecting seat 2 to unscrew it from the mounting sleeve 1. Next, insert each support leg 3 into the mounting sleeve 1, and insert the end of the connecting seat 2 with the damping washer 25 into the mounting sleeve 1. The damping washer 25 is squeezed by the connecting seat 2 and the mounting sleeve 1. Under the action of its elastic deformation and restoring force, the connecting seat 2 and the mounting sleeve 1 can be relatively stably squeezed and fixed together until the end of the mounting sleeve 1 abuts against the limiting plate 22 at the connecting seat 2.

[0032] This novel foldable and retractable stage lighting tripod works by folding the various support legs 3 together and then inserting them into the mounting sleeve 1. This allows the connecting seat 2 to slide and dampen into the mounting sleeve 1, thus locking the connecting seat 2 into the mounting sleeve 1 and preventing the connecting seat 2 and the support legs 3 from detaching from the mounting sleeve 1. When using this tripod, simply remove the mounting seat and support legs 3 from the mounting sleeve 1, screw the external thread 23 of the connecting seat 2 into the internal thread of the mounting sleeve 1, and then unfold the support legs 3. This device effectively reduces the storage volume of the tripod, resulting in a smooth, bump-free surface after storage, making it easy for users to move and store.
