[0034] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that this utility model can have various variations in different embodiments, all of which do not depart from the scope of this utility model, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit this utility model.

[0035] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setup," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] As living standards improve, photography has become an important part of people's lives, and the demands for the photography experience are also increasing. However, the battery capacity inside existing cameras, mobile phones and other photography devices is limited, which cannot achieve long shooting time. Therefore, it is necessary to charge or replace the battery, which forces the shooting to stop and results in a poor user experience.

[0038] Based on this, and referring to Figures 1-3, this application provides an adapter 10 with a charging function. This adapter 10 can continuously supply power to a shooting device 20 mounted on it, enabling users to shoot stably for extended periods. The shooting device 20 includes, but is not limited to, cameras, camcorders, mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices with shooting functions. The adapter 10 includes a base 100, an adapter arm 200, and a charging component 300. The base 100 and the adapter arm 200 are connected at an angle. The charging component 300 is located on the base 100 and is used to supply power to the shooting device 20. Specifically, the base 100 has a mounting surface 110, which has a fixing part 101 for mounting the shooting device 20. The axial direction (length extension direction) of the adapter arm 200 is inclined to the mounting surface 110. The side of the adapter arm 200 facing away from the base 100 has an adapter surface 210, which has an adapter part 201 for mounting photographic auxiliary accessories. The charging assembly 300 includes a motherboard 310 and a power output interface 320 electrically connected to the motherboard 310. When the shooting device 20 is mounted on the mounting surface 110, the power output interface 320 extends out of the mounting surface 110 and is electrically connected to the shooting device 20 to continuously supply power to the shooting device 20. Here, the power output interface 320 includes, but is not limited to, implementations such as a USB interface and contact pins.

[0039] The adapter 10 with charging function provided in this application integrates charging functionality by incorporating a charging component 300 within the base 100. Furthermore, a power output interface 320 extends from the mounting surface 110, ensuring continuous power supply to the shooting device 20 while it is mounted on the mounting surface 110, thus enabling extended shooting operations. Additionally, the base 100 is connected to an adapter arm 200, which has an adapter portion 201 for mounting photographic accessories to optimize shooting results. This adapter 10 with charging function not only charges the shooting device but also allows for the mounting of photographic accessories (fill lights, microphones, etc.), making the entire adapter 10 multifunctional and meeting a wider range of user shooting needs, especially providing continuous power for extended shooting sessions.

[0040] Preferably, referring to Figures 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the charging assembly 300 includes a power input interface 330 electrically connected to the motherboard 310. The power input interface 330 is exposed on the base 100 to electrically connect to an external power source. Figure 2 illustrates that the power input interface 330 and the mounting surface 110 are spaced apart on the base 100, that is, the power input interface 330 is located away from the mounting surface 110. When the shooting device 20 is mounted on the mounting surface 110, the shooting device 20 is electrically connected to the motherboard 310 through the power output interface 320. The current output from the external power source passes sequentially through the power input interface 330, the motherboard 310, and the power output interface 320 to the shooting device 20 to charge and power it. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the power input interface 330 is not provided. The charging assembly 300 includes a battery (not shown), which is located on the base 100 and electrically connected to the motherboard 310. The battery directly serves as the power supply, providing continuous power to the shooting device without an external power source. Optionally, the battery includes, but is not limited to, dry cell batteries and rechargeable batteries.

[0041] Preferably, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 or Figure 3, the adapter arm 200 is rotatably connected to the base 100 via a pivot 400. The adapter arm 200 rotates relative to the base 100 to flexibly adjust the mounting angle of the photographic accessory, thereby improving the shooting effect. Optionally, Figure 3 illustrates that the axis of the pivot 400 is parallel to both the mounting surface 110 and the adapter surface 210, so that the adapter arm 200 can swing up and down relative to the base 100, and the angle between the mounting surface 110 and the adapter surface 210 changes. Alternatively, the pivot 400 is parallel to the mounting surface 110 and perpendicular to the adapter surface 210 (not shown), so that the adapter arm 200 can swing left and right relative to the base 100, and the mounting surface 110 and the adapter surface 210 are always perpendicular to each other. It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the adapter arm 200 may also be fixedly connected to the base 100, and the rotation direction of the adapter arm 200 relative to the base 100 is not limited, that is, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400 is not limited.

[0042] Preferably, referring to Figures 2, 3, and 5, in one embodiment, Figure 3 illustrates that the fixing part 101 includes two quick-release clamping blocks 120 that are relatively close to or relatively far apart, and the two quick-release clamping blocks 120 are movably disposed on opposite sides of the mounting surface 110. In Figure 5, the quick-release clamping block 120 includes a clamping block 121, a positioning pin 122, and an elastic member 123. The positioning pin 122 connects the clamping block 121 and the base 100, and the elastic member 123 is disposed between the clamping block 121 and the base 100. The clamping block 121 includes an integrally formed snap-fit ​​block 1211, a connecting block 1212, and a pressing block 1213. The snap-fit ​​block 1211 extends out of the first mounting surface 110, and the connecting block 1212 is through which the positioning pin 122 passes. The elastic force provided by the elastic element 123 drives the snap-fit ​​block 1211 to automatically engage with the quick-release latch 21 (refer to Figure 2). Pressing the pressing block 1213 can cause the snap-fit ​​block 1211 to flip outward and disengage from the quick-release latch 21, thereby removing the shooting device 20 from the first mounting surface 110. Optionally, the elastic element 123 here includes, but is not limited to, a telescopic spring, a torsion spring, elastic rubber, etc. The quick-release clamping block 120 in this embodiment is adapted to install DJI Action shooting products. It should be understood that, optionally, different types of quick-release clamping blocks 120 are adapted to different shooting devices 20. In addition, the quick-release clamp 120 is only one specific way of fixing and installing the shooting device 20. In other embodiments, the fixing part 101 may also use a telescopic clamp to hold and install the shooting device 20, or use a sliding quick-release to install the shooting device 20.

[0043] Preferably, referring to FIG5, in one embodiment, the fixing part 101 includes a first magnetic suction member 130. The first magnetic suction member 130 is built into the base 100 and located between two quick-release clips 120. The first magnetic suction member 130 is used to magnetically attach to the mounting surface 110. When the shooting device 20 approaches the mounting surface 110, the magnetic force provided by the first magnetic suction member 130 can further drive the snap-fit ​​block 1211 to automatically engage in the quick-release slot 21, and the first magnetic suction member 130 can also enhance the stability of the shooting device 20 mounted on the mounting surface 110. It should be noted that the inclusion or exclusion of the first magnetic suction member 130 is not limited if installation stability is not considered.

[0044] Optionally, referring to Figures 4 and 6, in one embodiment, the adapter 10 includes a first adapter plate 140, which is rotatably connected to the side of the base 100 facing away from the mounting surface 110. The first adapter plate 140 has a first adapter hole 141 for a locking shaft to pass through. The first adapter plate 140 can rotate relative to the base 100 to switch between an unfolded state (shown in Figure 6) and a retracted state (shown in Figure 4). In the unfolded state, the first adapter plate 140 is perpendicular to the surface of the base 100 facing away from the mounting surface 110, i.e., the first adapter plate 140 is also perpendicular to the mounting surface 110, and the first adapter hole 141 is exposed for the locking shaft to pass through. In the retracted state, the first adapter plate 140 is stacked on the side of the base 100 facing away from the mounting surface 110. The first adapter plate 140 expands the external interface of the base 100.

[0045] Optionally, referring to Figures 4 and 5, in one embodiment, the edge of the base 100 facing away from the mounting surface 110 has a first dovetail edge 151 and a second dovetail edge 152 disposed opposite to each other. The first dovetail edge 151 and the second dovetail edge 152 constitute a first dovetail structure 150, which is slidably connected to an external device. When the first adapter plate 140 is rotated and stored in the side of the base 100 facing away from the mounting surface 110, the first adapter plate 140 is located between the first dovetail edge 151 and the second dovetail edge 152. At this time, the base 100 can be slidably connected to an external device through the first dovetail structure 150. The first dovetail structure 150 expands the external interface of the base.

[0046] It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the inclusion or exclusion of the first adapter plate 140 or the first dovetail structure 150 is not limited.

[0047] Optionally, referring to Figures 4 and 7, in one embodiment, the adapter 201 includes a second adapter plate 220, which is rotatably connected to the adapter surface 210. The second adapter plate 220 has a second adapter hole 221 for the locking shaft to pass through. The second adapter plate 220 can rotate relative to the adapter arm 200 to switch between an unfolded state (shown in Figure 7) and a retracted state (shown in Figure 4). In the unfolded state, the second adapter plate 220 is perpendicular to the adapter surface 210, and the second adapter hole 221 is exposed for the locking shaft to pass through. In the retracted state, the second adapter plate 220 is stacked on the adapter surface 210. The second adapter plate 220 is only one specific implementation of the adapter 201 for installing and connecting photographic accessories, and is not limited in other embodiments. The adapter 201 can also use a telescopic clamp to hold and install photographic accessories, or use a sliding quick-release mechanism to install and install photographic accessories.

[0048] Optionally, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 3 and 8, the adapter 201 includes a second magnetic member 230. The second magnetic member 230 and the second adapter plate 220 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the adapter arm 200. The spaced arrangement ensures that their respective external connection methods are independent and do not affect each other, thereby expanding the external connection methods of the adapter arm 200. It should be noted that the presence or absence of the second magnetic member 230 is not limited, nor is the spaced arrangement of the second magnetic member 230 and the second adapter plate 220.

[0049] Optionally, referring to Figures 4 and 8, in one embodiment, the side peripheral surface of the adapter arm 200 is provided with two opposing bayonet slots 240. The two bayonet slots 240 are located on opposite sides of the second magnetic suction member 230, and the two bayonet slots 240 are used for the card block to engage with an external shooting auxiliary device. Further, Figure 8 illustrates that the side peripheral surface of the adapter arm 200 protrudes with opposing third dovetail edges 251 and fourth dovetail edges 252. The third dovetail edge 251 and the fourth dovetail edge 252 form a second dovetail structure 250. The installation direction of the second dovetail structure 250 is parallel to the length extension direction of the adapter arm 200, and the second dovetail structure 250 is used for sliding quick-mounting of an external shooting auxiliary device. It should be noted that the bayonet 240 and the second dovetail structure 250 are for expanding the external interface of the adapter arm 200. In this application, the setting of the bayonet 240 or the second dovetail structure 250 is not limited. Other external interfaces can also be set on the side surface of the adapter arm 200 to increase the external installation methods.

[0050] Optionally, referring to Figures 4, 6, and 7, in one embodiment, there are two first adapter plates 140 and two second adapter plates 220, and two first adapter holes 141 and two second adapter holes 221. A first receiving groove 160 for receiving the first adapter plate 140 is provided on the side of the base 100 opposite to the mounting surface 110; a second receiving groove 260 for receiving the second adapter plate 220 is provided on the adapter surface 210. This reduces the thickness of the base 100 and the adapter arm 200, making the overall size of the adapter base 10 more compact. It should be noted that the presence or absence of the first receiving groove 160 or the second receiving groove 260 is not limited without considering the overall size of the adapter base 10.

[0051] Further, referring to Figure 4, a first threaded hole 170 is provided between the two first adapter plates 140. When the first adapter plate 140 is in the retracted state, the first threaded hole 170 is used for the external threaded connection of the base body; a second threaded hole 270 is provided between the two second adapter plates 220. When the second adapter plate 220 is in the retracted state, the second threaded hole 270 is used for the external threaded connection of the adapter arm 200. This expands the external interface of the entire adapter base 10 and improves the multi-functionality of the adapter base 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the presence or absence of the first threaded hole 170 or the second threaded hole 270 is not limited.

[0052] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
