[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal," "radial," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0023] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] For tripod adapters, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 As shown in Figure 3, the device includes a main body 100 and a nut 200. The main body 100 is in the shape of a long rod. A support surface 110 is provided at the first end of the main body 100, and a connector 120 is provided at the second end of the main body. The nut 200 is installed at the first end of the main body 100 and is partially exposed on the support surface 110.

[0025] The main body 100 extends along the axis L in the shape of a long rod; the supporting surface 110 is perpendicular to the axis L.

[0026] In this technology, the tripod adapter adopts a one-piece molded structure and can be made of metal or plastic. The first end of the tripod adapter connects to the camera bracket, and the mobile phone is mounted on the connector 120 at the second end.

[0027] The camera bracket (not shown in the figure) is provided with a mounting groove. The first end of the main body 100 is inserted into the mounting groove. The support surface 110 of the first end supports the inner bottom wall of the mounting groove to ensure the stability of the assembly. The tripod adapter is fixed and locked to the camera bracket by screws or bolts passing through the mounting groove and the nut 200. Then the mobile phone is installed on the connector 120.

[0028] When in use, the camera stand is placed on the ground, and the mobile phone is mounted on the camera stand via a tripod adapter. During shooting, the shooting quality is no longer affected by hand tremors, and it is possible to easily take still pictures, stable video clips, and conveniently use the time-lapse shooting function of the mobile phone.

[0029] Furthermore, the main body 100 is provided with a screw hole 101 from the first end to the second end, and the nut 200 is barrel-shaped and hollow; the nut 200 is installed in the screw hole 101 and positioned.

[0030] Nut 200 is exposed on support surface 110 but does not protrude from support surface 110, ensuring that support surface 110 can effectively support the inner bottom wall of the mounting groove. The setting position of nut 200 also ensures that the tripod adapter can be fixed and locked to the camera bracket by screws or bolts.

[0031] In one embodiment, the support surface 110 is arranged in a trapezoidal or triangular shape; both trapezoidal and triangular shapes have good stability and can be stably assembled in the mounting groove.

[0032] Of course, the support surface 110 can also be selected in other shapes.

[0033] In one embodiment, the connector 120 has a first surface 121 and a second surface 122, which are opposite to each other; a plurality of latches 123 are formed protruding outward along the edge of the first surface 121.

[0034] Furthermore, the locking tongue 123 is integrally formed on the tripod adapter; the first and second ends of the tripod connector are connected to the rod 130 of the tripod adapter; the thickness of the connector 120 is greater than the thickness of the rod 130, and the locking tongue 123 is positioned higher than the surface of the rod 130, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the mobile phone on the connector 120.

[0035] Accordingly, a buckle assembly with a buckle groove needs to be set on the back of the phone or the back of the phone case. The buckle with the locking tongue 123 on the side of the connector 120 is installed in the buckle groove and then rotated to fix it, so as to stably install the phone on the tripod adapter.

[0036] Furthermore, four locking tongues 123 are provided, and the included angle between adjacent locking tongues 123 is 90°.

[0037] In one embodiment, the second surface 122 of the connector 120 is formed with a groove 1221, which is recessed toward the first surface 121; this can reduce material usage, lower production costs, and reduce the weight of the tripod adapter.

[0038] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.

[0039] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
