Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic equipment technology, specifically to a locking structure for a camera shoe mount. Background Technology

[0002] As users' pursuit of the ultimate photography experience continues to grow, the functions provided by the camera itself are no longer sufficient to meet their needs. To improve shooting results and the overall experience, users are increasingly inclined to use various small external photography accessories, such as light meters, viewfinders, and flash units. These accessories can significantly enhance the camera's functionality and provide richer and more professional shooting options.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, when trying to install these accessories onto the camera's mounting shoe, there is often a problem of not being able to lock them in effectively. This unstable connection not only affects the stability of the equipment, but may also cause unexpected disconnection during shooting, seriously affecting the user experience and potentially causing missed shooting opportunities. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a locking structure for a camera shoe mount to solve problems such as the inability to effectively lock accessory connections.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A locking structure for a camera shoe mount is provided, including a shoe mount, a metal spring plate disposed on the shoe mount, a fixing screw disposed between the shoe mount and the metal spring plate, and fixing holes symmetrically opened on both sides of the metal spring plate on the shoe mount.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the locking structure for a camera shoe mount, the metal spring includes a connecting area, with arc-shaped areas on both sides of the connecting area, and mounting areas on both sides of the arc-shaped areas.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the locking structure for a camera shoe mount, both sides of the mounting area are provided with inclined surfaces.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the locking structure for a camera shoe mount, a side spring is provided on the connecting area, and a positioning bead is provided at the bottom of the shoe mount.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by installing metal springs on the boot mount, the photographic accessories can be clamped to the boot mount by the metal springs when installed on the camera boot mount, thus fixing them more securely to the camera.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are schematic diagrams, not actual images. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate the embodiments of this utility model, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0019] In the accompanying drawings of this utility model, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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. Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" or similar designation indicating the connection relationship between components should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a locking structure for a camera shoe mount, including a shoe mount 1. The top center of the shoe mount 1 has an "I"-shaped opening groove, and a metal spring piece 2 is installed in the opening groove. A fixing screw 3 is threaded between the shoe mount 1 and the metal spring piece 2. Fixing holes 4 are symmetrically opened on the front and rear sides of the metal spring piece 2 on the shoe mount 1. There are two fixing holes 4 in total. In use, the metal spring piece 2 is locked onto the shoe mount 1 by the fixing screw 3, and then the screw is installed from the fixing hole 4 to fix the shoe mount 1 to the camera accessory. The elasticity of the metal spring piece 2 makes it easy to fix the shoe mount 1 to the camera.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the metal spring 2 includes a connecting area 21 with a mounting hole in the middle. A side spring 5 is provided on the front side of the connecting area 21. Arc-shaped areas 22 are provided on both the left and right sides of the connecting area 21, and both arc-shaped areas 22 are curved downwards. Mounting areas 23 are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped areas 22. The front and rear sides of the mounting areas 23 are provided with upward-sloping surfaces. A positioning bead 6 is provided on the rear side of the bottom of the shoe seat 1. A spring is provided between the positioning bead 6 and the shoe seat 1 to prevent loosening downwards. In use, the connecting area 21 is used in conjunction with the fixing screw 3 to install on the shoe seat 1. The arc-shaped area 22 provides a certain pushing force to the mounting area 23, which provides a certain elastic force to lock the shoe seat 1 and the camera during installation. The slope of the mounting area 23 allows for installation on both sides, making it convenient for the shoe seat 1 to be snapped onto the camera from both sides. The side spring 5 further prevents loosening and locks the camera, preventing horizontal shaking.

[0023] Working principle: During use, the metal spring 2 is locked onto the shoe mount 1 by the fixing screw 3, and then the screw is installed from the fixing hole 4 to fix the shoe mount 1 onto the camera accessory. The connecting area 21 is installed on the shoe mount 1 in conjunction with the fixing screw 3. The arc-shaped area 22 provides a certain pushing force to the mounting area 23, which provides a certain elasticity to lock the shoe mount 1 and the camera during installation. The inclined surface of the mounting area 23 allows for installation on both sides, making it convenient for the shoe mount 1 to be snapped onto the camera from both sides. The side spring 5 further prevents loosening and locks the shoe mount, preventing horizontal shaking.

[0024] It should be stated that the above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent substitutions, and variations can be made to this utility model. However, such variations, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, should be within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, some terminology used in this application specification and claims is not limiting, but merely for ease of description.
