The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0030] This utility model provides a flash hot shoe converter 10, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a bracket body 100, a pitch adjustment component 200, and a support base 300. The bracket body 100 is mounted on the pitch adjustment component 200, and the pitch adjustment component 200 is connected to the support base 300.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pitch adjustment component 200 is provided with a transverse through hole 210 and a mounting surface 220.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the bracket body 100 is provided with a lamp holder 110 and two extension arms 120. The lamp holder 110 is used to install an external flash (not shown). The extension arms 120 are hinged to the pitch adjustment component 200 through the adjustment component 130. The adjustment component 130 passes through the transverse through hole 210.

[0033] The support base 300 is connected and engaged with the mounting plane 220 of the pitch adjustment component 200, and the bottom of the support base 300 is provided with a mounting plate 310, which is used to connect with an external camera (not shown).

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, each of the two extension arms 120 has a pin hole 121. The adjustment assembly 130 includes a hollow screw 131 and an adjusting screw 132. The hollow screw 131 passes through the pin hole 121 of one of the extension arms 120 and the transverse through hole 210 of the pitch adjustment component 200, with the end of the hollow screw 131 pressed against the extension arm 120. The adjusting screw 132 passes through the pin hole 121 of the other extension arm 120, with the end of the adjusting screw 132 pressed against the extension arm 120. The end of the hollow screw 131 is threaded into the adjusting screw 132, allowing the tightness between the extension arm 120 and the pitch adjustment component 200 to be adjusted during use.

[0035] Preferred, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer side of the support base 300 is provided with an external thread 301, and the support base 300 is provided with a locking knob 320 that mates with the external thread 301. The locking knob 320 is close to or away from the locking table 310.

[0036] The working principle of the flash hot shoe converter 10 of the utility model is described below in combination with the above structure, please refer to the following: Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 :

[0037] In use, first, the user installs the clamping table 310 of the supporting base 300 to the camera, then rotates the locking knob 320 to make it close to the clamping table 310 under the action of the screw thread, thereby fastening the clamping table 310 installed to the camera, realizing stable installation; then, the user installs the flash lamp to the lamp holder 110 of the bracket body 100, so that the camera and the flash lamp are connected through the flash hot shoe converter 10;

[0038] During use, the user can adjust the angle between the bracket body 100 and the supporting base 300 through the adjusting assembly 130, thereby changing the pitch angle of the flash lamp. Specifically, when adjusting, the user first loosens the adjusting screw 132, so that the force of the extension arm 120 clamping the pitch adjusting piece 200 is reduced, and the user can easily rotate the bracket body 100 to the required angle; after adjusting, the adjusting screw 132 is tightened again, providing pressure to the extension arm 120, so that the friction between the extension arm 120 and the pitch adjusting piece 200 is increased, ensuring that the bracket body 100 remains in the current position. In this way, the flash hot shoe converter 10 of the utility model can adjust the pitch angle of the flash lamp, thereby improving the convenience of photography operation.

[0039] It should be further pointed out that, compared with the prior art, the flash hot shoe converter 10 of the utility model can also keep the flash lamp and the camera electrically connected while adjusting the angle.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , two conductive sheets 330 are arranged in the supporting base 300, and the conductive sheets 330 are partially inserted into the inside of the pitch adjusting piece 200; the lamp holder 110 of the bracket body 100 is provided with a plurality of elastic contact joints (not shown in the figure) and a side socket 140, and the elastic contact joints and the side socket 140 are electrically connected with the conductive sheets 330 through wires (not shown in the figure). Preferably, the pitch adjusting piece 200 is provided with an avoiding hole 201, the extension arm 120 is of a hollow structure (as shown in Figure 5 ), and one of the extension arms 120 of the bracket body 100 is provided with an avoiding through slot 122, which corresponds to the avoiding hole 201 after installation. The wires are arranged through the avoiding through slot 122 and the avoiding hole 201. The wires are arranged from the conductive sheets 330, pass through the avoiding hole 201, the avoiding through slot 122 and the inside of the extension arm 120 in sequence, and finally connect the elastic contact joints and the side socket 140.

[0041] In use, the support base 300 is mounted on the camera, with its two conductive plates 330 connected to the positive and negative terminals of the camera's power supply, respectively. Correspondingly, the flash is mounted on the lamp holder 110. The flash can be connected via its own contacts to a flexible contact connector, or via an external data cable to a side socket 140. Since both the flexible contact connector and the side socket 140 are electrically connected to the conductive plates 330 via wires, the camera can provide power and electrical signals to the flash using this design.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lamp holder 110 includes a slide rail 111 and an elastic piece 112. When an external flash is installed on the lamp holder 110, the slide rail 111 and the elastic piece 112 cooperate to hold and fix the flash, thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the flash and making it less likely to fall off during use.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the pitch adjustment component 200 has a guide post 221 on its mounting plane 220, and the support base 300 has a slot 302. During installation, the guide post 221 is inserted into the slot 302. Preferably, the pitch adjustment component 200 has a positioning screw (not shown), and the support base 300 has a screw hole (not shown) that matches the positioning screw. The pitch adjustment component 200 is fixedly installed on the support base 300 by the positioning screw. In this way, during assembly, quick positioning can be achieved by the cooperation of the guide post 221 and the slot 302, and then a firm installation can be achieved by the cooperation of the positioning screw and the screw hole.

[0044] In summary, this utility model provides a flash hot shoe converter 10, which can not only facilitate the installation of the flash but also adjust the tilt angle of the flash, thereby improving the convenience of photography operations.

[0045] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
