Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic equipment technology, specifically to an adjustable light source bracket for a camera. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as industrial inspection and biomedicine, it is often necessary to use cameras to photograph slender objects, such as electronic components, wires, and medical devices. Due to the slender shape of these objects, traditional lighting methods present the following problems:

[0003] Ring light: In order for the light to cover the target object well, the diameter of the ring light needs to be close to the length of the target object. This will undoubtedly greatly increase the space occupied by the light source, making it inconvenient to operate and integrate.

[0004] Linear light source: When a linear light source is installed on either side of the camera, the light can only illuminate the target object below the camera at an angle. When the target object is less than two millimeters wide, the light cannot fully illuminate the surface of the target object, which seriously affects the shooting effect and leads to a decrease in image quality.

[0005] Therefore, a camera light source bracket that can effectively solve the above problems is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] Purpose of the utility model: To provide an adjustable light source bracket for a camera, which enables the camera and the light source to be on the same plane, and by adjusting the angle of the support arm, the target object directly below the lens can receive sufficient light, thereby improving the shooting effect.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An adjustable light source holder for a camera includes:

[0009] Camera connector: Used to connect to the camera and fix its position.

[0010] Support arms: At least two, each connected to one side of the camera mount, for mounting the light source. Each support arm includes:

[0011] Fixed arm: Connected to the camera connector.

[0012] Adjustable arm: Connected to the fixed arm via a hinge structure, it can rotate relative to the fixed arm to adjust the illumination angle of the light source.

[0013] Light source mounting position: Located on the adjustable arm, used for mounting the light source.

[0014] Hinged structure: Used to connect the fixed arm and the adjustable arm, enabling the adjustable arm to rotate relative to the fixed arm. The hinged structure includes:

[0015] Connection holes: These are located on the fixed arm and the adjustable arm, respectively.

[0016] Fasteners: Used to pass through the connection holes to connect the fixed arm and the adjustable arm together, and to adjust the tightness of the connection to fix the rotation angle of the adjustable arm.

[0017] Furthermore, the camera connector is a ring-shaped structure, used to be fitted around the camera lens.

[0018] Furthermore, friction plates are provided at the connection holes of the fixed arm and the adjustable arm to increase the friction of the hinge structure and improve the stability of the adjustable arm angle.

[0019] Furthermore, the light source mounting position is a threaded hole for fixing the light source with screws.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. Improve shooting effect: By adjusting the angle of the support arm, the target object directly below the lens can receive sufficient light, avoiding the problem of insufficient light in traditional lighting methods, thereby improving the shooting effect.

[0022] 2. Space saving: Compared with ring light, the light source bracket of this utility model occupies less space and is easier to operate and integrate.

[0023] 3. Simple structure and easy to manufacture: The structure of this utility model is simple, the manufacturing process is mature, and the cost is low.

[0024] 4. Strong applicability: This utility model is applicable to various types of cameras and light sources, and can be adjusted according to different shooting needs. Attached Figure Description

[0030] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0031] Applicant's design Figure 1 Figure 2 An adjustable light source bracket for a camera is shown, comprising a camera connector 1, a support arm 2, and a hinge structure.

[0032] The camera connector 1 is a ring structure, which is used to fit around the lens of the camera and fix the camera to the bracket by screws or other means.

[0033] The support arm 2 includes a fixed arm 21 and an adjustable arm 22. The fixed arm 21 is connected to the camera connection part 1, and the adjustable arm 22 is connected to the fixed arm 21 via a hinge structure. The adjustable arm 22 is provided with a light source mounting position for mounting a light source. In this embodiment, the light source is an LED light strip, which is fixed to the light source mounting position with screws.
