And after the locking key is pressed by the other hand, the supporting legs can be opened, so that the user operation is convenient.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bracket technology, and in particular to a support rod and bracket. Background Technology

[0002] To meet the shooting needs of mobile phones or cameras in different scenarios, shooting aids such as tripods have emerged. Tripods typically have multiple openable support legs that can be extended in use and closed in a stowed state. In the stowed state, to ensure the support legs are stably fitted around the main pole, the bottom of the main pole usually has a locking mechanism. In existing technology, when it is necessary to open the support legs, the user needs to grip the main pole with their upper arm, press the locking button with one hand, and simultaneously rotate the support legs to open them with the other hand, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a support rod and bracket, which solves the problem of inconvenience in opening the support foot after unlocking by setting an elastic structure on the support rod.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a support rod, which includes a support portion, the two ends of which are rotatably connected to the main rod and the support foot, respectively; the support portion is provided with an elastic structure, which at least partially protrudes from the surface of the support portion, and the elastic structure is used to provide an elastic force that moves the support foot away from the main rod when the support foot is in contact with the main rod.

[0005] Optionally, the elastic structure includes a spring sheet, one end of which is connected to the support portion, and the other end extends obliquely toward the support foot or the main rod and at least partially protrudes from the surface of the support portion.

[0006] Optionally, the support portion is provided with a clearance groove, and when the support foot is in contact with the main rod, the spring piece is housed in the clearance groove.

[0007] Optionally, the spring sheet and the support portion are integrally formed.

[0008] Optionally, the elastic structure includes a spring, one end of which is connected to the support portion, and the other end protruding from the surface of the support portion.

[0009] Optionally, the elastic structure further includes a mounting base, which is mounted on the support portion, with one end of the spring connected to the mounting base and the other end protruding from the surface of the support portion.

[0010] Optionally, the support portion is provided with a mounting groove, the mounting seat is assembled in the mounting groove, the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a guide post, the guide post protrudes towards the spring side, and the guide post passes through the mounting seat and guides the spring.

[0011] Optionally, the elastic structure is located on the side of the support closer to the main rod.

[0012] Optionally, the support rod further includes connecting portions disposed at both ends of the support portion, the connecting portions being rotatably connected to the support foot or the main rod.

[0013] This utility model also proposes a bracket, including a main rod, a sliding sleeve sleeved on the main rod, a support foot rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve, and a support rod as described in any of the above embodiments. The two ends of the support rod are rotatably connected to the main rod and the support foot, respectively. A locking structure is provided at the bottom end of the main rod.

[0028] Please participate Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the bracket 100 when closed in the embodiment of this application. Figure 2This is a perspective view of the bracket 100 in the embodiment of this application when it is open. The present invention proposes a bracket 100 including a main rod 10, a sliding sleeve 20, a support foot 30, and a support rod 40. The sliding sleeve 20 is fitted onto the main rod 10 and can slide relative to the main rod 10. One end of the support foot 30 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve 20. One end of the support rod 40 is connected to the bottom of the main rod 10, and the other end is connected to the middle region of the support foot 30. Alternatively, one end of the support rod 40 can be connected to the free end of the support foot 30, and the other end to the middle region of the main rod 10. Therefore, it can be seen that the support foot 30, with the cooperation of the sliding sleeve 20 and the support rod 40, can switch between open and closed relative to the main rod 10. When the support foot 30 is open relative to the main rod 10, the bracket 100 is in use; when the support foot 30 is closed relative to the main rod 10, the bracket 100 is in a retracted state.

[0029] The bottom end of the main rod 10 may be provided with a locking structure 11, and the free end of the support leg 30 can be locked in conjunction with the locking structure 11. That is to say, when the support leg 30 is in contact with the main rod 10, the locking structure 11 can lock the support leg 30 to prevent the support leg 30 from opening, so as to facilitate the storage of the bracket 100.

[0030] However, when the support leg 30 needs to be opened, the user needs to use their upper arm to clamp the main rod 10, unlock the locking structure 11 with one hand, and rotate the support leg 30 with the other hand to open it, which is a rather cumbersome and complicated operation. Therefore, this application provides a support rod 40 to solve this problem.

[0031] Please participate Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support rod 40 includes a support portion 41, on which an elastic structure 43 is provided. The elastic structure 43 protrudes at least partially from the surface of the support portion 41. The elastic structure 43 is used to provide an elastic force that moves the support foot 30 away from the main rod 10 when the support foot 30 is in contact with the main rod 10.

[0032] When the support foot 30 of the bracket 100 is in contact with the main rod 10, the support foot 30 needs to overcome the elastic force of the elastic structure 43 and lock itself against the main rod 10 under the action of the locking structure 11. When the locking structure 11 is unlocked, the support foot 30 can actively open relative to the main rod 10 under the drive of the elastic force of the elastic structure 43 on the support rod 40. Therefore, when the user needs to open the support foot 30 to use the bracket 100, he only needs to hold the main rod 10 with one hand and press the locking button with the other hand, and the support foot 30 will automatically open, releasing the lock of the locking structure 11. Then, the user can rotate the support foot 30 to a suitable angle, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0033] Specifically, the support part 41 can be a long, rod-shaped structure, with connecting parts 42 at both ends. The connecting parts 42 are used for rotatable connection with the support foot 30 and the main rod 10. The connecting parts 42 can be hook-shaped or pivot-shaped. Corresponding connecting shafts or rotating grooves are provided on the support foot 30 and the main rod 10 to mate with the connecting parts 42, enabling the support rod 40 to be rotatably connected with the support foot 30 and the main rod 10. Of course, the connecting parts 42 can also achieve rotatable connection with the support foot 30 and the main rod 10 through other structures; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0034] The elastic structure 43 can be disposed on the side of the support portion 41 facing the main rod 10, or on the side of the support portion 41 facing the support foot 30. When the support foot 30 is in the open state, the elastic structure 43 is not squeezed by the support foot 30. At this time, the elastic structure 43 protrudes at least partially from the surface of the support portion 41. Therefore, when the support foot 30 is in contact with the main rod 10, the elastic structure 43 can provide an elastic force to the support foot 30 away from the main rod 10.

[0035] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic structure 43 may include a spring sheet 431, which may be made of plastic or other materials with a certain degree of elasticity. One end of the spring sheet 431 is connected to the support portion 41, and the other end is a free end, which can extend obliquely in the direction of the support foot 30 or the main rod 10 and at least partially protrude from the surface of the support portion 41.

[0036] For example, one end of the spring piece 431 is connected to the support part 41, and the other end extends toward the support foot 30 at a 30° angle to the surface of the support part 41. Alternatively, one end of the spring piece 431 is connected to the support part 41, and the other end extends toward the main rod 10 at a 60° angle to the surface of the support part 41.

[0037] Thus, when the support foot 30 is attached to and unlocked from the main rod 10, the support foot 30 can open at a certain angle relative to the main rod 10 under the action of the spring piece 431. The user can then rotate the support foot 30 to a suitable angle, and the bracket 100 can be used, making the user's operation more convenient.

[0038] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, a clearance groove 411 may be provided on the support portion 41. The clearance groove 411 may be provided on one side of the extension direction of the spring piece 431 on the support portion 41. Alternatively, the clearance groove 411 may be provided at the projection position of the spring piece 431 relative to the surface of the support portion 41. The end of the spring piece 431 connected to the support portion 41 may extend outward from the bottom of the clearance groove 411 and protrude from the surface of the support portion 41.

[0039] The shape of the clearance groove 411 can be adapted to the shape of the spring piece 431. Alternatively, the clearance groove 411 can extend through the support portion 41, and the end of the spring piece 431 connected to the support portion 41 can extend outward from the side wall of the clearance groove 411 and protrude from the surface of the support portion 41. This application does not limit the specific structure of the clearance groove 411. As long as the spring piece 431 is compressed by the support foot 30 when it is in contact with the main rod 10, it can be housed within the clearance groove 411, thus avoiding interference with the housing of the support foot 30.

[0040] Optionally, the spring 431 and the support 41 are integrally formed, thus making the connection between the spring 431 and the support 41 more secure and better maintaining the elastic force of the spring 431 on the support foot 30. Of course, in some other embodiments, the spring 431 can also be installed on the support 41 by means of insertion, welding, bolt connection, etc.

[0041] Please see Figures 4-6 Optionally, the elastic structure 43 includes a spring 433, one end of which is connected to the support portion 41, and the other end protrudes from the surface of the support portion 41. Thus, after the locking structure 11 is unlocked, the support foot 30 can rotate away from the main rod 10 by the elastic force provided by the spring 433, making it easier for the user to open the support foot 30.

[0042] Specifically, the spring 433 can be any ordinary elastic element with elastic force. One end of the spring 433 is connected to the support part 41, and the other end can extend toward the support foot 30 or the main rod 10 and at least partially protrude from the surface of the support part 41. When the support foot 30 is in contact with the main rod 10, the support foot 30 needs to overcome the elastic force of the spring 433 and lock into the locking structure 11. When the support foot 30 is unlocked, the support foot 30 can rotate a certain angle away from the main rod 10 under the drive of the elastic force of the spring 433, so that the user can open the support foot 30.

[0043] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the elastic structure 43 also includes a mounting base 432, which is mounted on the support portion 41. One end of the spring 433 is connected to the mounting base 432, and the other end protrudes from the surface of the support portion 41. In this way, the spring 433 can be connected to the support portion 41 through the mounting base 432, making the connection between the spring 433 and the support portion 41 more stable.

[0044] Specifically, the mounting base 432 can be integrated with the spring 433, that is, the end of the spring 433 connected to the support part 41 can be bent into a square or other planar structure, so that the contact area at the connection between the spring 433 and the support part 41 is larger, thereby providing better support for the spring 433, preventing the spring 433 from tilting to the circumference, and enabling the spring 433 to provide elastic force to the support foot 30 more stably. Of course, in some other embodiments, the mounting base 432 can also have other structures, and this application does not limit the specific structure of the mounting base 432.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the support part 41 is provided with a mounting groove 412, and the mounting seat 432 is assembled in the mounting groove 412. A guide post 413 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove, protruding towards the spring 433. The guide post 413 passes through the mounting seat 432 and guides the spring 433. Thus, the mounting groove 412 can provide a certain amount of clearance for the spring 433 when it is compressed, preventing the spring 433 from affecting the fit between the support foot 30 and the main rod. The guide post 413 can improve the stability of the spring 433, providing a certain guiding effect on the compression and ejection of the spring 433, preventing the spring 433 from tilting to the circumference. At the same time, the guide post 413 can also position the spring 433, preventing it from moving within the mounting groove 412.

[0046] Specifically, the bottom edge of the mounting base 432 can be engaged within the mounting groove 412. The bottom edge of the mounting groove 412 can be provided with a groove that mates with the edge of the mounting base 432, ensuring stable installation of the mounting base 432 within the mounting groove 412. The guide post 413 protrudes from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 412 towards the spring 433, extending into the hollow area in the middle of the spring 433. It is important to note that the protruding length of the guide post 413 should not exceed the depth of the mounting groove 412 to prevent the guide post 413 from affecting the fit between the support foot 30 and the main rod.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the elastic structure 43 can be located on the side of the support part 41 near the main rod 10, or on the side of the support part 41 near the support foot 30.

[0048] Since the two ends of the support rod 40 are rotatably connected to the support frame and the main rod 10 respectively, when the support foot 30 opens, the closer to the end of the support rod 40, the smaller the distance between the elastic structure 43 and the support foot 30 or the main rod 10, and the smaller the part of the elastic structure 43 protruding from the surface of the support part 41, so as to avoid the elastic structure 43 being too large and affecting the closing of the support foot 30.

[0049] In addition, when the size of the elastic structure 43 is constant, the closer the elastic structure 43 is to both ends of the support rod 40, the greater the angle at which the support foot 30 automatically opens under the action of the elastic structure 43, which facilitates the user's operation.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
