Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a selfie stick support structure, belonging to the field of photographic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of short videos, live streaming, and remote conferencing, the demand for portable stands that can provide a stable shooting platform at any time has surged. Traditional stands are mainly three- or four-lobed outward-extending support frames. These stands usually have the support legs hinged to the outer perimeter of the rod and are opened manually. Although the structure is simple, the appearance is obtrusive, the size is large, and it is inconvenient to carry and store.

[0003] In pursuit of aesthetics and portability, "hidden tripod" selfie sticks that completely house the support legs within a cylindrical shell have emerged in recent years. These sticks feature circumferential grooves inside the shell, using interference fits or clips to secure three or four support legs one by one. To use them, users must pry out the support legs one by one with their fingers and then insert the top of each support leg into the corresponding positioning hole at the bottom of the shell to lock it in place. However, since users must manually remove the support legs, and because the support legs are designed to be "hidden" for aesthetic reasons, removing the support legs is not smooth and can easily injure the fingers.

[0004] Therefore, the urgent problem to be solved in this field is how to design a shooting stand that is simple in structure, easy to carry, aesthetically pleasing and easy to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a selfie stick support structure to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0007] A selfie stick support structure includes a housing, at least three support rods arranged around the housing, and a pop-out mechanism and a locking mechanism disposed within the housing. The support rods extend into the housing through an opening at the lower edge of the housing, the pop-out mechanism is disposed within the housing, and the locking mechanism is disposed on the lower end face of the housing.

[0008] The pop-out mechanism includes a spring seat and multiple push rods and pop-out springs corresponding to the number of support rods. The spring seat has mounting slots corresponding to the number of push rods and pop-out springs. The push rods and pop-out springs are set in the mounting slots and the stroke of the push rods is limited by the mounting slots. The push rods move and abut against the support rods.

[0009] The locking mechanism includes a fixed base, a release switch, and multiple limit blocks and limit springs corresponding to the number of support rods. The fixed base has a central protrusion forming a mounting platform. The limit blocks and limit springs are mounted on the mounting platform via fixed posts. The limit blocks cooperate with the limit grooves on the support rods. The limit blocks have a groove with a slope in the center. The release switch has a release protrusion that cooperates with the groove.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0011] Furthermore, both ends of the support rod protrude outwards to form a limit.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting base also has multiple mounting slots evenly distributed around the mounting platform, corresponding to the number of support rods.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing groove has a fixing protrusion that engages with the fixing groove on the support rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the end of the limiting block that contacts the support rod has a guide ramp set along the retraction direction of the support rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the support rod has a foot, which forms a complete surface with the outer casing after the support rod is retracted.

[0016] Furthermore, the lower end of the outer shell protrudes inward to form a stop that cooperates with the limiting block.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The selfie stick support structure of this utility model is simple in structure and easy to assemble. It eliminates the inconvenience and safety hazards of manually prying out the support feet, so that the selfie stick can have the characteristics of quick unfolding and stable support while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance, bringing users a brand-new shooting assistance solution.

[0031] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the selfie stick support structure includes a housing 100, at least three support rods 200 arranged around the housing 100, and a pop-out mechanism 300 and a locking mechanism 400 disposed inside the housing 100. As shown in the figure, the number of support rods 200 is three, but it can also be set to four or more to enhance its support stability. The support rods 200 extend into the housing 100 through an opening at the lower edge of the housing 100. The pop-out mechanism 300 is disposed inside the housing 100, and the locking mechanism 400 is disposed on the lower end face of the housing 100.

[0033] The pop-out mechanism 300 includes a spring seat 310 and multiple push rods 320 and pop-out springs 330 corresponding to the number of support rods 200. The spring seat 310 has mounting slots 311 corresponding to the number of push rods 320 and pop-out springs 330. The push rods 320 and pop-out springs 330 are disposed in the mounting slots 311 and the travel of the push rods 320 is limited by the mounting slots 311. The push rods 320 move in contact with the support rods 200. In the retracted state, the support rods 200 abut against the push rods 320 and compress the pop-out springs 330. After the locking mechanism 400 is released, the pop-out springs 330 exert force outward, and the push rods 320 drive the support rods 200 to pop outward. At the same time, the mounting slots 311 limit the travel of the push rods 320 to prevent them from deviating in the direction of extension and from popping out. After use, the support rods 200 are retracted, abut against the push rods 320 again, and compress the pop-out springs 330.

[0034] The locking mechanism 400 includes a fixed base 410, a release switch 420, and multiple limit blocks 430 and limit springs 440 corresponding to the number of support rods 200. The fixed base 410 has a central protrusion forming a mounting platform 412. The limit blocks 430 and limit springs 440 are mounted on the mounting platform 412 via fixed posts 411. The limit blocks 430 engage with the limit grooves 210 on the support rods 200. The limit blocks 430 have a sloping groove 431 in the center. The release switch 420 has a release protrusion that engages with the groove 431. When the device is in its retracted state, pressing the exposed portion of the lower end face of the outer casing 100 releases the switch 420. The release switch 420 moves inward into the outer casing 100, and the release protrusion 421 moves the groove 431 to retract the limit block 430 towards the center. The limit spring 440 is compressed, and the limit block 430 leaves the limit groove 210. At the same time, the pop-out mechanism 300 causes the support rod 200 to pop out. After releasing the release switch 420, the limit spring 440 is no longer under force, causing the limit block 430 to return to its original position, and simultaneously causing the release switch 420 to return to its original position.

[0035] In another embodiment of this utility model, the two ends of the support rod 200 protrude outward to form a limit, so as to avoid excessive support retraction or release, which would affect subsequent use.

[0036] In another embodiment of this utility model, the fixing base 410 is also evenly distributed around the mounting platform 412 with a plurality of fixing slots 413 corresponding to the number of support rods 200. After the support rods 200 pop out, they can be manually pushed into the fixing slots 413 to enhance their support stability.

[0037] In another embodiment of the present invention, the fixing groove 413 has a fixing protrusion 414, which cooperates with the fixing groove 220 on the support rod 200. After the support rod 200 is pushed into the fixing groove 413, its support stability is further enhanced.

[0038] In another embodiment of this utility model, the end of the limiting block 430 that contacts the support rod 200 has a guide ramp 432 arranged along the retraction direction of the support rod 200, which facilitates the retraction of the support rod 200.

[0039] In another embodiment of the present invention, the end of the support rod 200 has a support foot 230, which forms a complete surface with the outer shell 100 after the support rod 200 is stored.

[0040] In another embodiment of this utility model, the lower end of the outer shell 100 protrudes inward to form a stop 110 that cooperates with the limiting block 430. Based on the cooperation between the release switch 420 and the limiting block 430, the stability of the limiting block 430 is further enhanced, and it is prevented from being dislodged due to the force applied by the pop-out spring 330.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
