[0030] 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.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the present invention proposes a camera strap buckle structure with an elastic locking element, including a base plate 1 and a buckle structure 2. The buckle structure 2 is disposed on the base plate 1 and is used to connect and fix the camera strap to the base plate 1. The buckle structure 2 includes a hook 21, a locking groove 22 adapted to the hook 21, and a locking component 23 for fixing the hook 21 in the locking groove 22. The hook 21 is rotatably connected to the base plate 1. The locking component 23 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When it is in the locked state, the hook 21 is located inside the locking groove 22, and the locking component 23 covers the hook 21 to limit the hook 21. When it is in the unlocked state, the hook 21 can be disengaged from the locking groove 22.

[0033] The locking hook 21 includes a first locking section, a second locking section, and a connecting section connecting the first locking section and the second locking section. The first locking section is used to connect the camera's locking ring, and the second locking section is used to connect the camera strap's hanging loop. The locking hook 21 is used to connect the camera strap through the first locking section and the second locking section.

[0034] The first locking section includes a first arc-shaped section and a first bent section that are connected to each other, and the second locking section includes a locking section and a second bent section that are connected to each other. The camera strap can be connected through the first locking section and the second locking section respectively.

[0035] The locking hook 21 is integrally molded and made of metal, while the base plate 1 is made of plastic steel.

[0036] In use, by rotating the locking hook 21 into the locking groove 22 in the base plate 1, the locking assembly 23 covers the locking hook 21 to achieve the limiting and fixing of the locking hook 21. The first locking segment in the locking hook 21 is used to connect the camera's locking ring, and the second locking segment is used to connect the camera strap's hanging ring.

[0037] While existing complex designs offer versatility, they also increase overall weight, introduce more connection points that may increase operational difficulty and the risk of falls, and make simple designs unable to meet the needs of rapid switching and have low assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0038] Compared to existing designs, the core components—hook 21, slot 22, and locking assembly 23—avoid the increased overall weight caused by complex structures, making the camera strap buckle lighter and reducing the burden on photographers when carrying the camera. This facilitates long-duration and mobile shooting. The locking assembly 23 has locked and unlocked states. When connecting or adjusting the camera strap, simply rotate the hook 21 into the slot 22 in the base plate 1, and then use the locking assembly 23 to cover the hook 21 for locking and fixation, thus quickly completing the connection. When unlocking, operate the locking assembly 23 to put it in the unlocked state, disengaging the hook 21 from the slot 22 for quick disassembly. This allows photographers to quickly adjust the camera strap connection method in different shooting scenarios, such as switching from handheld to tripod shooting, improving shooting flexibility and efficiency. The operation process is simplified through the cooperation of the hook 21 and slot 22 and the control of the locking assembly 23. Photographers no longer need to perform tedious operations involving multiple connection points; they can focus solely on rotating the locking hook 21 and operating the locking assembly 23. This reduces the difficulty of operation, allowing even photography novices to quickly get started and improving ease of use. The locking hook 21 includes a first locking segment, a second locking segment, and a connecting segment that links the first and second locking segments. The first locking segment includes an interconnected first arc segment and a first bent segment, while the second locking segment includes an interconnected locking segment and a second bent segment. This design allows the locking hook to better fit and securely hold the camera locking ring and camera strap loop. The first locking segment is specifically designed to connect to the camera locking ring, and the second locking segment is specifically designed to connect to the camera strap loop. Their unique bent segment designs enhance the stability of the connection and prevent the camera strap from accidentally slipping off during use.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 1-7As shown, the present invention proposes a camera buckle structure with an elastic locking element. Compared with embodiment 1, the locking component 23 in this embodiment includes a locking plate 231, a button 232, and an elastic element. The locking plate 231 is located at both ends of the button 232 and is fixedly connected to the button 232 and adapted to the locking groove 22. The base plate 1 is provided with a sliding groove 11 adapted to the locking groove 22. The sliding groove 11 is located above the locking groove 22. The locking plate 231 is located inside the sliding groove 11 and is slidably connected to the sliding groove 11. The elastic force of the elastic element keeps the locking plate in the position of covering the locking groove 22. The button 232 passes through one end of the base plate 1 and is slidably connected to the base plate 1. The elastic element is a spring adapted to the button 232. The two ends of the elastic element are respectively connected to the button 232 and the base plate 1.

[0041] The locking groove 22 includes a first limiting groove 221 and a locking groove 22, wherein the first limiting groove 221 and the second limiting groove 222 are connected to each other and have a corner, wherein the sliding groove 11 is located on both sides of the inner wall of the first limiting groove 221 and is parallel to the first limiting groove 221.

[0042] In use, pressing button 232 causes the locking plate 231 to move synchronously, exposing the first limiting groove 221. Rotating the locking hook 21 causes it to be located inside the locking groove 22. Releasing button 232 causes the locking plate 231 and button 232 to reset under the action of the spring. The locking plate 231 covers the top of the first limiting groove 221, thereby limiting and fixing the locking hook 21. At the same time, one end of the locking plate 231 abuts against the inner wall of the second limiting groove 222, thereby limiting the locking assembly 23.

[0043] Compared with existing technologies, pressing button 232 moves the locking plate 231 synchronously, exposing the first limiting groove 221, facilitating the insertion of the locking hook 21. Releasing button 232 causes the locking plate 231 and button 232 to automatically reset under spring pressure, achieving rapid locking of the locking hook 21 and greatly improving the user experience. The locking groove 22 includes a first limiting groove 221 and a second limiting groove 222, which are interconnected and have a corner, ensuring double limiting of the locking hook 21 after insertion, significantly enhancing locking stability. Compared with a single groove design, this effectively prevents the locking hook 21 from accidentally falling off under external force, improving safety. After resetting, one end of the locking plate 231 abuts against the inner wall of the second limiting groove 222, forming double limiting of the locking assembly 23, further enhancing locking stability and preventing accidental movement or unlocking of the locking assembly 23 due to external force.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] like Figure 8-9As shown, the present invention proposes a camera buckle structure with an elastic locking element. Compared with embodiment 1, the locking component 23 in this embodiment includes a limiting band 233. One end of the limiting band 233 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and the other end is wrapped around the outside of the base plate 1 to cover the locking hook 21. The limiting band 233 is provided with a snap fastener 234, and the other end of the limiting band 233 is limited by the snap fastener 234.

[0046] In use, the locking hook 21 is rotated to be located inside the locking groove 22. The limiting band 233 is wrapped around the outer surface of the base plate 1 to cover the top of the locking groove 22, thereby limiting the locking hook 21. Then, the limiting band 233 is fixed by the snap fastener 234.

[0047] Compared with the existing design, the limiting band 233 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1 at one end, and can be wrapped around the outside of the base plate 1 at the other end. This allows the limiting band 233 to flexibly adjust the wrapping path according to the shape of the base plate 1 and the lock groove 22, and to adapt to lock hooks 21 of different sizes or shapes. After the limiting band 233 is wrapped, it covers the top of the lock groove 22, forming a 360-degree wrapping, which prevents the lock hook 21 from accidentally coming off due to unilateral force or external impact. The male and female buckles 234 are composed of male and female buckles. Users only need to wrap the limiting band 233 to the appropriate position and press the male and female buckles to lock. Unlocking is done by reversing the operation, reducing the number of operation steps.

[0048] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
