[0040] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0041] Currently, when it is necessary to connect shooting equipment and stabilization equipment, magnetic brackets are usually used to connect the two by magnetic attraction. However, the magnetic brackets in the relevant technology can only be used for magnetic connection between shooting equipment and stabilization equipment. When it is not necessary to connect the shooting equipment to the stabilization equipment, such as when the user wants to support the shooting equipment on a table, the magnetic bracket cannot provide support, resulting in poor practicality and ease of use.

[0042] To address the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides a magnetic bracket with a support ring that can switch between a retracted state and an extended state. When the support ring is in the retracted state, the magnetic bracket can connect the shooting device to the gimbal. When the support ring is in the extended state, the magnetic bracket can support the shooting device independently, thereby improving the practicality and convenience of the magnetic bracket in supporting the shooting device and enhancing the user experience.

[0043] According to an exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, this application embodiment provides a magnetic holder, which includes a body 10 and a support ring 20. The support ring 20 has a retracted state and an unfolded state, as shown... Figures 1-3 As shown, the support ring 20 is in the retracted state, at which time the magnetic bracket can be used to magnetically connect the shooting device (not shown in the figure) to the gimbal (not shown in the figure); as Figures 4-5 As shown, the support ring 20 is in the unfolded state, at which time the magnetic bracket can be used to support the shooting device on the support plane (not shown in the figure). The shooting device can be, for example, an electronic device with shooting function such as a mobile terminal, tablet computer, or camera, and the support plane can be, for example, a desktop or tabletop.

[0044] The main body 10 has a first sidewall 101 and a second sidewall 102 facing away from each other. The first sidewall 101 is used for magnetic connection with a shooting device. The first sidewall 101 can be magnetically connected to the shooting device in various ways. In one example, the first sidewall 101 can be magnetically connected to the metal back cover of the shooting device. In another example, the first sidewall 101 can be magnetically connected to a magnetic strip attached to the back cover of the shooting device. In yet another example, the first sidewall 101 can be magnetically connected to a wireless charging magnet of the shooting device.

[0045] The support ring 20 is rotatably connected to the second sidewall 102 and is movable relative to the body 10. Exemplarily, the support ring 20 may have a first end 21 and a second end 22, which are spaced apart from each other. The first end 21 of the support ring 20 is rotatably connected to the second sidewall 102, and the second end 22 of the support ring 20 is movable relative to the body 10, allowing the support ring 20 to switch between a retracted state and an extended state. When the support ring 20 is in the retracted state, the second sidewall 102 is magnetically connected to the stabilizing device; when the support ring 20 is in the extended state, the second sidewall 102 and the support ring 20 form a support to support the imaging device on the supporting plane.

[0046] In this embodiment, by setting a support ring that can switch between a retracted state and an extended state, the magnetic bracket can connect the shooting device to the gimbal when the support ring is in the retracted state, and can support the shooting device independently when the support ring is in the extended state. This improves the practicality and convenience of the magnetic bracket in supporting the shooting device and enhances the user experience.

[0047] In some embodiments, the magnetic holder includes a first rotating component 30 and / or a second rotating component 40. In one example, the magnetic holder includes a first rotating component 30, and the support ring 20 is rotatably connected to the body 10 via the first rotating component 30, allowing the support ring 20 to switch between a retracted state and an unfolded state. In another example, the magnetic holder includes a second rotating component 40, and the support ring 20 is rotatably connected to the body 10 via the second rotating component 40 to adjust the orientation of the support ring 20. In yet another example, the magnetic holder includes a first rotating component 30 and a second rotating component 40, and the support ring 20 is rotatably connected to the first rotating component 30 and the second rotating component 40, and the second rotating component 40 is rotatably connected to the body 10. The first rotating component 30 and the second rotating component 40 enable the support ring 20 to rotate in different directions, such as rotating open and close relative to the body 10, and rotating by different angles relative to a direction perpendicular to the body 10, so as to adjust the support angle and orientation of the support ring 20 and improve the flexibility of use. For example, as shown in the figure... Figure 6 As shown, the rotation axis of the first rotating component 30 is parallel to the surface of the body 10, that is, perpendicular to the axis of the third magnet 153; the rotation axis of the second rotating component 40 is perpendicular to the surface of the body 10, that is, parallel to the axis of the third magnet 153.

[0048] In some embodiments, the magnetic holder includes a first rotating component 30. For example... Figures 1-7 As shown, the first rotating component 30 is connected to both the body 10 and the support ring 20, and the support ring 20 is rotatably connected to the body 10 via the first rotating component 30. For example, since a stop is generated between the edge of the body 10 and the edge of the support ring 20, the opening angle range between the support ring 20 and the body 10 can be set to 0~114°. Of course, it is understood that this angle range can also be designed and adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not impose excessive limitations on it.

[0049] In one example, the first rotating assembly 30 includes a rotating shaft 31 and a rotating frame 32. For example... Figures 1-7 As shown, the rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the second side wall 102 of the main body 10. The rotating shaft 31 rotates around its axial direction, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 31 is parallel to the surface of the second side wall 102. The rotating frame 32 includes a first connecting part 321 and a second connecting part 322 connected together. The first connecting part 321 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 31, for example, by sleeve on the rotating shaft 31 or by interference fit. The second connecting part 322 is fixedly connected to the support ring 20. By rotating the rotating shaft 31, the rotating frame 32 is driven to rotate, thereby enabling the second end 22 of the support ring 20 to move relative to the main body 10, that is, the support ring 20 can open and close relative to the main body 10, realizing the conversion between the unfolded state and the retracted state of the support ring 20.

[0050] It is understood that the embodiment of this application takes the rotating frame 32 fixed on the rotating shaft 31 as an example for explanation. In actual production and design, the rotating shaft 31 can also be fixed to the body 10, and the rotating frame 32 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 31. The embodiment of this application does not impose too many restrictions on the specific arrangement of the rotating shaft 31 and the rotating frame 32, as long as the rotating frame 32 can drive the support ring 20 to rotate so as to switch between the unfolded state and the stored state.

[0051] In some embodiments, the magnetic holder further includes a second rotating component 40. For example... Figures 1-7 As shown, the second rotating component 40 is connected to the first connecting part 321 of the rotating frame 32. The rotating frame 32 is rotatably connected to the main body 10 through the second rotating component 40. The first rotating component 30 and the second rotating component 40 cause the support ring 20 to rotate in different directions. One of the first rotating component 30 and the second rotating component 40 can cause the support ring 20 to open and close relative to the main body 10, while the other can cause the support ring 20 to rotate about a direction perpendicular to the main body 10. By setting the first rotating component 30 and the second rotating component 40, the rotation and opening and closing of the support ring 20 can be realized, which facilitates the adjustment of the support angle and direction and improves the flexibility of the magnetic bracket in supporting the shooting equipment. The rotation angle of the support ring 20 relative to the direction perpendicular to the main body 10 is 0~360°, which can be adjusted by the user according to the usage requirements.

[0052] In some embodiments, the second rotating assembly 40 includes a rotating mounting groove 41, a rotating seat 42, a first connecting piece 43, and a second connecting piece 44. The rotating mounting groove 41 is disposed on the body 10 and extends through the body 10. Exemplarily, the rotating mounting groove 41 is a circular groove. The projections of the rotating seat 42 and the second connecting piece 44 on the second sidewall 102 of the body 10 are both circular, so as to realize the rotation of the rotating seat 42 relative to the rotating mounting groove 41. The rotating seat 42 is rotatably connected to the rotating mounting groove 41 and rotates around its axial direction. The axial direction of the rotating seat 42 is perpendicular to the surface of the second sidewall 102. The two ends of the rotating shaft 31 are rotatably connected to the rotating seat 42 so that the rotating shaft 31 can drive the support ring 20 to rotate around the axial direction of the rotating shaft 31. That is, the support ring 20 can open and close relative to the body 10, and the rotating seat 42 can drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate around the axial direction of the rotating seat 42, thereby driving the support ring 20 to rotate relative to the body 10.

[0053] The first connecting piece 43 is disposed on the side of the rotating mounting groove 41 away from the first rotating component 30, and is fixedly connected to the rotating mounting groove 41. The second connecting piece 44 is disposed on the side of the first connecting piece 43 away from the first rotating component 30. A portion of the rotating seat 42 passes through the first connecting piece 43 and is fixedly connected to the second connecting piece 44. The second connecting piece 44 is rotatably connected to the first connecting piece 43. The second connecting piece 44 is used to rotatably connect the rotating seat 42 to the first connecting piece 43, and the first connecting piece 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating mounting groove 41, thereby allowing the rotating seat 42 to be rotatably connected to the rotating mounting groove 41.

[0054] Of course, it is understandable that when the second connecting piece 44 is fixedly connected to the rotating base 42, a portion of the second connecting piece 44 can also pass through the first connecting piece 43 and be fixedly connected to the rotating base 42. Multiple snap-fit ​​portions and multiple snap-fit ​​mating portions can be provided on the second connecting piece 44 and the rotating base 42 respectively, or the second connecting piece 44 and the rotating base 42 can be connected by fasteners to improve the tightness of the connection between the second connecting piece 44 and the rotating base 42. For example, as... Figure 6 As shown, the rotating base 42 has four locking parts on the side near the first sidewall 101. These locking parts are configured as locking blocks. The second connecting piece 44 has four locking mating parts corresponding to the locking parts. These locking mating parts are configured as locking slots; that is, the number of locking mating parts is the same as the number of locking parts. This embodiment does not impose excessive restrictions on the specific method of fixing the second connecting piece 44 to the rotating base 42; those skilled in the art can configure it according to actual needs.

[0055] In one example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting piece 43 includes a connecting body 431, which is a hollow structure. For example, the connecting body 431 is annular, and the center of the connecting body 431 has an installation space 432. A portion of the second connecting piece 44 passes through the installation space 432 and is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 42, or a portion of the rotating seat 42 passes through the installation space 432 and is fixedly connected to the second connecting piece 44, so that the rotating seat 42 can be rotatably connected to the first connecting piece 43.

[0056] A plurality of first mating parts 433 are provided on the edge of the connecting body 431. The plurality of first mating parts 433 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the connecting body 431. The rotating mounting groove 41 is provided with a second mating part 411 that mates with the first mating parts 433. One of the first mating parts 433 and the second mating part 411 is a slot, and the other is a block, so as to snap the connecting body 431 and the rotating mounting groove 41 together. Of course, it is understood that the first mating parts 433 and the second mating parts 411 can also adopt other connection methods, such as fastener connection, bonding, welding, etc. The number and setting position of the first mating parts 433 can also be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0057] In one example, the first connecting piece 43 is also provided with several rotational feedback points 434 evenly arranged along its circumference. Figure 6 As shown, rotational feedback points 434 are provided on the connecting body 431. In this embodiment, the first connecting piece 43 is provided with eight rotational feedback points 434. That is, it will pass through one rotational feedback point 434 every 45° rotation. When passing through the rotational feedback point 434, the rotation will produce a slight stop, realizing tactile feedback of the rotation. Alternatively, when passing through the rotational feedback point 434, the rotating seat 42 can be stopped at that position through limiting cooperation, realizing the adjustment of the rotation level. It is understood that in actual design and production, the number of rotational feedback points 434 can be increased or decreased. This embodiment does not impose special restrictions on this, and it can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0058] The rotation feedback point 434 can be located on the side of the first connecting piece 43 near the rotating seat 42, or on the side of the first connecting piece 43 near the second connecting piece 44. When the rotation feedback point 434 is located on the side near the rotating seat 42, a rotation limiting part (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the rotating seat 42 near the first connecting piece 43. The rotation limiting part cooperates with the rotation feedback point 434 to limit the rotating seat 42 when it rotates to different angles, thereby achieving adjustment of different rotation levels. One of the rotation limiting part and the rotation feedback point 434 is a slot, and the other is a block. They limit the rotation angle of the rotating seat 42 through a snap-fit ​​engagement. When the rotation feedback point 434 is located on the side near the second connecting piece 44, a rotation limiting part can be provided on the second connecting piece 44 near the first connecting piece 43. The snap-fit ​​engagement between the rotation limiting part and the rotation feedback point 434 is the same as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second sidewall 102 of the body 10 is provided with a receiving portion 1021 for receiving the support ring 20. For example... Figures 2-5As shown, the receiving part 1021 is an annular groove. When the support ring 20 is in the stored state, the support ring 20 is housed in the receiving part 1021 to prevent the support ring 20 from protruding from the second side wall 102 of the body 10, so as to facilitate the magnetic connection between the body 10 and the stabilizing device.

[0060] In one example, the second end 22 of the support ring 20 is provided with a clearance portion 221. There is a gap between the clearance portion 221 and the receiving portion 1021, which makes it easy for the user to move and unfold the support ring 20 from the position of the clearance portion 221, and can also serve as an indicator of the operating direction.

[0061] In one example, the receiving portion 1021 is further provided with a positioning groove 1022, within which a detection portion 1023 is disposed. The positioning groove 1022 is used for snap-fit ​​positioning with the stabilizing device. When the second sidewall 102 is magnetically connected to the stabilizing device, a detection element (not shown in the figure) of the stabilizing device cooperates with the detection portion 1023 to detect the installation position of the magnetic bracket. The detection portion 1023 can be, for example, a positioning protrusion, and the detection element can be a switch, sensor, or other device. When the second sidewall 102 is magnetically connected to the stabilizing device, the detection element detects the detection portion 1023 within the positioning groove 1022 and, through tactile feedback, control circuit feedback, or other means, indicates whether the magnetic bracket and the stabilizing device are properly installed.

[0062] In some embodiments, the body 10 includes a base 13, a cover plate 14, and a magnet assembly 15. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the cover plate 14 is disposed on the first side wall 101, the cover plate 14 is fixedly connected to the base 13, and there is a receiving space between the base 13 and the cover plate 14. The magnet assembly 15 is disposed in the receiving space between the base 13 and the cover plate 14 to realize magnetic connection.

[0063] In some embodiments, the magnet assembly 15 includes a first magnet assembly and a second magnet assembly. The first magnet assembly is used to magnetically connect the shooting device to the magnetic bracket, and the second magnet assembly is used to magnetically connect the magnetic bracket to the stabilizing device.

[0064] In some embodiments, the body 10 includes a first portion 11 and a second portion 12 connected together. For example... Figures 1-7 As shown, the first rotating assembly 30 and the second rotating assembly 40 are located in the second part 12, that is, the first end 21 of the support ring 20 is located in the second part 12, and the receiving part 1021 is located in the first part 11, that is, when the support ring 20 is in the retracted state, the second end 22 of the support ring 20 is located in the first part 11. Additionally, as... Figure 6 As shown, a circular rotating mounting groove 41 is provided at the junction of the first part 11 and the second part 12.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first magnet assembly includes a first magnet 151 and a second magnet 152. For example... Figures 1-7 As shown, the first magnet 151 is located in the first part 11, and the second magnet 152 is located in the second part 12. Exemplarily, the first magnet 151 is a ring magnet, and the second magnet 152 is a square magnet. The first magnet assembly can be magnetically connected to the wireless charging magnet (not shown) of the shooting device. The wireless charging magnet typically includes a ring-shaped body and a tail portion disposed at one end of the body. The first magnet 151 is correspondingly disposed to the body of the wireless charging magnet, and the second magnet 152 is correspondingly disposed to the tail portion of the wireless charging magnet. Wherein, as... Figure 7 As shown, the first magnet 151 can be a notched ring formed by a plurality of square magnets surrounding it. The notched ring has an annular portion and a notched portion, and at least a portion of the rotating mounting groove 41 is disposed in the notched portion.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second magnet assembly includes a third magnet 153. For example... Figures 1-7 As shown, the third magnet 153 is disposed in the first part 11, and the first magnet 151 is disposed around the third magnet 153. The third magnet 153 is used to magnetically connect with the stabilizing device so that the magnetic bracket is connected to the stabilizing device.

[0067] In some embodiments, the receiving space of the base 13 is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the magnet assembly 15, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the magnet assembly 15. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the base 13 is provided with a first mounting slot 131, a second mounting slot 132 and a third mounting slot 133. The first mounting slot 131 is used to install the first magnet 151, the second mounting slot 132 is used to install the second magnet 152, and the third mounting slot 133 is used to install the third magnet 153.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the center of the receiving part 1021 coincides with the center of the first magnet 151, and when the support ring 20 is in the stored state, the center of the support ring 20 coincides with the center of the first magnet 151.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the center of the receiving portion 1021 coincides with the center of the third mounting groove 133, and the center of the support ring 20 in the stored state coincides with the center of the third mounting groove 133.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first mounting groove 131 is annular, and the center of the first mounting groove 131 coincides with the center of the third mounting groove 133, that is, the center of the first magnet 151 coincides with the center of the third mounting groove 133.

[0071] Of course, it is understood that the number and shape of each magnet in the magnet assembly 15 can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and each magnet can also be installed on the base 13 by means of bonding, fastener connection, etc. This application embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0072] In some embodiments, the various parts of the magnetic bracket are made of different materials and / or processed using different techniques.
