Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tripod technology, and specifically to a multifunctional tripod. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of digital imaging technology and the increasing popularity of professional photography and video shooting equipment, higher demands are being placed on the functionality and portability of tripods. Traditional tripods, primarily designed for photography, cannot meet the needs of video enthusiasts, including social media creators and travelers. For example, conventional tripods generally only provide height support, which is inconvenient for desktop shooting or low-angle shooting. In video shooting, their bulky size makes them unsuitable for use as extension rods when stabilizing the camera, limiting their functionality.

[0003] Therefore, designing a tripod that can meet both photography and video shooting needs is the problem that this utility model aims to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional tripod that can adapt to the needs of different shooting scenarios, satisfying both photography and video shooting needs, so as to solve the technical problems described in the background art.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A multifunctional tripod includes a small tripod and a large tripod with an inner and outer ring interlocking structure. The outer ring of the large tripod includes a base and three movable and telescopic large legs, which are hinged to the base at intervals.

[0007] The base has a through-hole space in the middle, and the inner ring of the small bracket in the middle of the base is inserted and locked in the through-hole by a locking device. The small bracket includes three movable and telescopic small legs, and the top of the three small legs are hinged together to a mounting base.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer surface of the small leg is radially grooved along its length, and a plurality of positioning holes are spaced apart on the bottom wall of the groove. The base is also provided with a positioning structure for engaging with the positioning holes to lock the small leg.

[0009] Furthermore, the base has a mounting cavity on its side, and a panel for sealing the opening of the mounting cavity is fixedly connected in the mounting cavity;

[0010] The positioning structure includes a pin inserted into the mounting cavity, one end of the pin extending into the sleeve space, and a spring installed between the other end of the pin and the panel;

[0011] A button is movably mounted on the panel, and a lever is hinged in the mounting cavity. One end of the lever is hinged to the pin, and the other end extends to the rear of the button.

[0012] Furthermore, the small leg includes multiple circular leg tubes of different sizes and diameters, with the smaller diameter leg tube inserted into the larger diameter leg tube, and the leg tubes are connected to each other via connectors.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple convex and concave pads are formed on the inner wall of the socket, which are centered and protrude respectively. The convex and concave pads are used to accommodate the insertion of the small tripod and to support the small tripod.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the two lower legs is provided with a folding structure. When the connecting rods of the two folding structures are unfolded from the lower legs and connected and fixed to each other, they can cooperate with the two lower legs to form a triangular structure that can be rested on the shoulder.

[0015] Furthermore, the foot tube has a receiving cavity, and the folding structure includes a connecting rod hinged in the receiving cavity, the free end of the connecting rod having a connecting hole.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This utility model's tripod adopts an inner and outer ring interlocking structure. The outer ring is a large tripod with irregularly shaped leg tubes, providing strong support. The inner ring is an independent small tripod with a small round tube structure, which is compact and lightweight. When the large and small tripods are combined, it functions like a traditional tripod, fulfilling normal tripod usage. When the locking mechanism is released from the small tripod, it can be freely adjusted and raised, serving as the central axis of the large tripod.

[0018] When the inner tripod is removed separately, its lightweight and compact size perfectly meets the needs of low-angle and desktop shooting. Especially during video shooting, the tripod can be extended and closed to serve as a stabilizer extension rod, which perfectly meets the camera movement needs of high-angle or low-angle video shooting.

[0019] When two of the small legs of the tripod are connected by the folding structure to form a closed triangular structure that can be rested on the shoulder, the tripod becomes a shoulder-mounted video shooting stand. It not only meets the needs of video enthusiasts who require extreme image stability, but also greatly reduces the burden on the hands during video shooting. For travel shooting or solo photography enthusiasts, it truly achieves "two uses in one" and greatly expands the functionality of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of this utility model will be specifically described 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.

[0040] In the description of this application, the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the structure referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multifunctional tripod, including a small tripod 2 and a large tripod 1 with an inner and outer ring interlocking structure, wherein the outer ring large tripod 1 includes a base 11 and three movable and telescopic large legs 12, and the three large legs 12 are hinged to the base 11 at intervals.

[0042] The base 11 has a through-hole space 111 in the middle. The small tripod 2 is inserted and locked in the through-hole space 111 by the locking member 13. The inner wall of the through-hole space 111 has a plurality of convex pads 112 and concave pads 113 respectively protruding in the center. The accommodating space formed by the convex pads 112 and the concave pads 113 matches the structural shape of the small tripod 2 when it is folded up. This is conducive to the locking member 13 locking the small tripod 2.

[0043] The locking component 13 can adopt a screw-type locking structure in the prior art. By screwing the locking component 13 to abut against the small leg 2, the small leg 2 is locked in the sleeve space 111. The specific structure of the locking component 13 is relatively mature in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] In addition, when the small tripod 2 is vertically inserted into the socket space 111, the convex pad 112 and the concave pad 113 cooperate to support and hold the small tripod 2, preventing the small tripod 2 from falling out of the large tripod 1 when it is inserted.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 The tripod 2 includes three movable and retractable legs 21, and the tops of the three legs 21 are hinged together to a connector 22 for mounting a camera or other shooting equipment. The connection between the main leg 12 and the base 11, and the connection between the leg 21 and the connector 22, can employ a locking structure common in existing tripod legs, such as a ratchet, to secure the extended main leg 12 or leg 21.

[0046] Please see Figure 9 and Figure 10 Both the smaller leg 21 and the larger leg 12 include multiple leg tubes 211 of different sizes, with the smaller cross-sectional leg tube 211 inserted into the larger cross-sectional leg tube 211, making the smaller leg 21 or the larger leg 12 telescopic. It can be extended or retracted as needed, allowing it to be used as a regular tripod. The leg tubes 211 are connected to each other via connectors 212. These connectors 212 can employ existing screw-on or lever-locking structures to fix the length of the smaller leg 21 or the larger leg 12 after extension or retraction.

[0047] Please see Figures 4 to 9The outer surface of the small leg 21 is radially provided with a groove 25 along its length direction, and a plurality of positioning holes 26 are provided at intervals on the bottom wall of the groove 25. The base 11 is also provided with a positioning structure 27 for engaging with the positioning holes 26 to lock the small leg 2.

[0048] The base 11 has a mounting cavity 271 on its side. A panel 273 for sealing the opening of the mounting cavity 271 is fixedly connected in the mounting cavity 271. The positioning structure 27 includes a pin 272 inserted into the mounting cavity 271. One end of the pin 272 extends into the sleeve space 111, and a spring 274 is installed between the other end of the pin 272 and the panel 273.

[0049] A button 275 is movably mounted on the panel 273. A lever 276 is hinged in the mounting cavity 271. One end of the lever 276 is hinged to the pin 272, and the other end extends behind the button 275. When the small leg 2 is inserted into the large leg 1, the small leg 21 presses against the pin 272. When the small leg 2 is slidably assembled, and the pin 272 is aligned with the positioning hole 26, the pin 272 is activated by the deformation of the spring 274. The small tripod 2 is initially positioned by inserting it into the positioning hole 26. When the height of the small tripod 2 as a central axis needs to be adjusted, the button 275 can be pressed to deflect the lever 276, pulling the pin 272 out of the sleeve space 111. At this time, the small tripod 2 can move freely. By inserting the pin 272 into the positioning holes 26 at different heights, the height of the central axis can be adjusted. Finally, the small tripod 2 is locked by the locking member 13.

[0050] Additionally, when a higher center axis height is required, such as Figure 2 As shown, the small leg 21 can be extended and abutted against the joint of the small leg 21 by the locking member 13, thereby locking the small tripod 2 into the large tripod 1. When the small tripod 2 of the inner ring is taken out separately, its lightweight and compact size perfectly meets the needs of low-angle and desktop shooting. Especially during video shooting, the small tripod 2 can be extended and closed to be used as an extension rod of the stabilizer, which well meets the camera movement needs of high-angle or low-angle video shooting.

[0051] Please see Figures 11 to 14 Each of the two small legs 21 has a receiving cavity 29, and a folding structure 28 is installed in each of the two receiving cavities 29. Figure 13The folding structure 28 includes a connecting rod 281 hinged to the receiving cavity 29. The free end of the connecting rod 281 has a connecting hole 282. When the two folding structures 28 are unfolded from the small legs 21 and connected and fixed to each other, they can cooperate with the two small legs 21 to form a closed triangular structure that can be rested on the shoulder. The other small leg 21 can be supported on a belt, forming a sturdy stabilizer and camera mounting platform. Figure 12 Furthermore, the small leg 21 without the folding structure 28 is provided with a detachable equipment mounting base A 32 for fixing a stabilizer or other shooting equipment. This allows the bracket carrying the shooting equipment to be placed on the shoulder for use, providing hardware support for stable video shooting.

[0052] Please see Figure 12 The bottom of the small leg 21 without the folding structure 28 is connected to a load-bearing seat 30 by screws. The load-bearing seat 30 is U-shaped and can be hung on a belt or supported at the navel to distribute the weight of the equipment.

[0053] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 Each of the smaller legs 21 has a threaded sleeve 33 fixedly connected to its bottom. A foot nail 34 is threadedly connected to the bottom of each threaded sleeve 33. When connecting the folding structure 28, the foot nail 34 is removed from the threaded sleeve 33 and threadedly connected to the connecting hole 282, thereby connecting the two folding structures 28 into one unit. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, this facilitates switching between tripod modes and avoids carrying extra feet 34, reducing the user's burden.

[0054] Please see Figure 15 The two small legs 21 of the folding structure 28 are equipped with a detachable device mounting base B 31 for connecting and fixing a camera or other shooting equipment.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
