Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a bracket with a threaded magnetic suction structure. Background Technology

[0002] A gimbal is a device used to support and fix photographic equipment, typically mobile phones and cameras. Existing gimbals include a support base and several support legs. The support legs are spaced apart circumferentially around the support base and rotatably connected to it. The support base has a fixing structure for securing the photographic equipment, usually configured as two clamps that engage to hold the equipment. Due to the significant size differences between mobile phones and cameras, a single fixing structure is difficult to adapt to both, limiting the types of devices a gimbal can hold and resulting in limited flexibility in its use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bracket with a threaded magnetic structure to solve the problem that existing gimbals, which use two clamps to fix photographic equipment, cannot simultaneously accommodate the sizes of mobile phones and cameras, resulting in a limitation on the types of equipment that the gimbal can fix and poor flexibility in use.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A bracket with a threaded magnetic attraction structure includes a support base, a magnetic attraction element, a screw, and an elastic element. The support base has a receiving hole that opens onto the top surface of the support base. The screw is received within the receiving hole, and a portion of the screw that can move along the receiving hole protrudes from the top surface of the support base or is completely retracted into the receiving hole. The elastic element is received within the receiving hole and abuts against both the screw and the support base. A portion of the screw that is driven by the elastic element protrudes from the top surface of the support base. The magnetic attraction element is disposed on the top surface of the support base and surrounds the screw.

[0006] Furthermore, the accommodating hole opening is provided with an upper abutment ring, which extends circumferentially around the accommodating hole to form a communication opening through which the screw passes. The lower end sidewall of the screw is provided with a lower abutment ring located below the upper abutment ring, which is used to abut against the upper abutment ring to restrict the screw from moving away from the accommodating hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the screw is provided with a positioning hole for the elastic element to be inserted.

[0008] Furthermore, the top surface of the support base is provided with a receiving groove for inserting the magnetic component, and the top surface of the magnetic component is flush with the top surface of the support base.

[0009] Furthermore, the receiving hole is located at the geometric center of the support base and is coaxially arranged with the support base.

[0010] Furthermore, the support base includes a fixed base, a swing base, and a swing arm. The two axial ends of the swing arm are rotatably connected to the fixed base and the swing base, respectively. The swing arm can swing up and down with its connection point with the fixed base as the axis, and the swing base can swing up and down with its connection point with the swing arm as the axis. The swing base is provided with a receiving hole, which opens on the top surface of the swing base, and the magnetic suction member is provided on the top surface of the swing base.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed base has a storage cavity and a connector. The storage cavity opens upward, and the connector is located at the bottom of the storage cavity and is rotatably connected to the swing arm. The swing arm can swing down to be received in the storage cavity or swing up to extend out of the storage cavity. When the swing arm swings down to be received in the storage cavity, the swing base can swing down to abut against the opening of the storage cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixed base and the swing base are provided with a locking structure, which locks the swing base onto the fixed base when the swing base abuts against the opening of the storage cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, the cavity wall of the storage cavity is provided with a lower buckle portion, and the swing seat is provided with an upper buckle arm. When the swing seat abuts against the opening of the storage cavity, the upper buckle arm extends into the storage cavity and engages with the lower buckle portion to restrict the swing of the swing seat. The upper buckle arm can move relative to the swing seat to release the lower buckle portion. The lower buckle portion and the upper buckle arm constitute the locking structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper buckle arm has a pressing part protruding from the peripheral wall of the swing seat; and / or there are two lower buckle parts and two upper buckle arms that correspond to each other, with the two upper buckle arms arranged opposite each other.

[0015] The advantage of this technical solution is that by configuring a screw that can be fully retracted into the support or partially protruding from the top surface of the support, and configuring a magnetic component surrounding the screw on the top surface of the support, when a mobile phone is placed on the top surface of the support, the screw is fully inserted into the support and the magnetic component attracts and fixes the mobile phone to the top surface of the support. When an action camera is placed on the top surface of the support, the screw is threadedly connected to the bottom surface of the action camera to fix the action camera to the top surface of the support. Therefore, the bracket with the threaded magnetic structure can fix both mobile phones and action cameras, with good adaptability, flexible use, and a simple and compact fixing connection structure that does not interfere with each other.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example: Figure 1-6 As shown, the bracket with a threaded magnetic attraction structure includes a support base 1, a magnetic attraction element 2, a screw 3, and an elastic element 4. The support base 1 has a receiving hole 101, which opens onto the top surface of the support base 1. The screw 3 is housed in the receiving hole 101. The portion of the screw 3 that can move up and down along the receiving hole 101 protrudes from the top surface of the support base 1 or is completely retracted into the receiving hole 101. The elastic element 4 is housed in the receiving hole 101 and abuts against the screw 3 and the support base 1 respectively. The portion of the screw 3 driven by the elastic element 4 protrudes from the top surface of the support base 1. The magnetic attraction element 2 is disposed on the top surface of the support base 1 and surrounds the screw 3.

[0026] The top surface of support base 1 is used to place mobile phones and action cameras.

[0027] When no device is placed on the top surface of the support base 1, the screw 3 protrudes from the top surface of the support base 1, driven by the elastic element 4. When a mobile phone is placed on the top surface of the support base 1, the screw 3 is fully inserted into the receiving hole 101 by the mobile phone, and the mobile phone is attracted and fixed to the top surface of the support base 1 by the magnetic element 2. When an action camera is placed on the top surface of the support base 1, the screw 3 is inserted into and threaded into the screw hole on the bottom surface of the action camera, thereby fixing the action camera to the top surface of the support base 1.

[0028] In summary, this embodiment provides a bracket with a threaded magnetic structure to solve the problem that existing gimbals, which use two clamps to fix photographic equipment, cannot simultaneously accommodate the sizes of mobile phones and cameras, resulting in limited types of devices that can be fixed by the gimbal and poor flexibility of use. This is mainly achieved by configuring a screw 3 on the support base 1 that can be fully retracted into the support base 1 or partially protruding from the top surface of the support base 1, and a magnetic element 2 arranged around the screw 3 on the top surface of the support base 1. When a mobile phone is placed on the top surface of the support base 1, the screw 3 is fully inserted into the support base 1, and the magnetic element 2 attracts and fixes the mobile phone to the top surface of the support base 1. When an action camera is placed on the top surface of the support base 1, the screw 3 is threadedly connected to the bottom surface of the action camera, fixing the action camera to the top surface of the support base 1. Therefore, this bracket with a threaded magnetic structure can fix both mobile phones and action cameras, offering excellent adaptability, flexibility of use, and a simple, compact, and non-interfering fixing structure.

[0029] In this embodiment of the present invention, an upper abutment ring 102 is provided at the opening of the receiving hole 101. The upper abutment ring 102 extends circumferentially around the receiving hole 101 to form a communication opening (not shown in the figure) through which the screw 3 passes. A lower abutment ring 301 is provided on the lower end side wall of the screw 3, located below the upper abutment ring 102. The lower abutment ring 301 is used to abut against the upper abutment ring 102 to restrict the screw 3 from moving away from the receiving hole 101. The above arrangement, by configuring the upper abutment ring 102 at the opening of the receiving hole 101 and configuring the lower abutment ring 301 on the lower end side wall of the screw 3, allows the lower abutment ring 301 and the upper abutment ring 102 to cooperate in restricting the screw 3 from moving away from the receiving hole 101, thus making the screw 3 and the support base 1 stably assembled.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the bottom surface of the screw 3 is provided with a positioning hole 302 for the insertion of the elastic element 4. This arrangement, by providing the positioning hole 302 for the insertion of the elastic element 4 on the bottom surface of the screw 3, ensures stable assembly between the elastic element 4 and the screw 3, resulting in excellent driving performance.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the top surface of the support base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 104 for inserting the magnetic suction component 2, and the top surface of the magnetic suction component 2 is flush with the top surface of the support base 1. This arrangement, by providing the receiving groove 104 for inserting the magnetic suction component 2 on the top surface of the support base 1, ensures stable assembly between the magnetic suction component 2 and the support base 1. Furthermore, by configuring the top surface of the magnetic suction component 2 to be flush with the top surface of the support base 1, it ensures stable connection between the imaging device and the support base 1 when placed on the top surface of the support base 1.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, the receiving hole 101 is located at the geometric center of the support base 1 and is coaxially arranged with the support base 1. By positioning the receiving hole 101 at the geometric center of the support base 1 and coaxially arranged with the support base 1, the action camera is stably connected to the screw 3 and has a good fixing effect when placed on the top surface of the support base 1.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the support base 1 includes a fixed base 105, a swing base 106, and a swing arm 107. The two axial ends of the swing arm 107 are rotatably connected to the fixed base 105 and the swing base 106, respectively. The swing arm 107 can swing up and down with its connection point with the fixed base 105 as its axis. The swing base 106 can also swing up and down with its connection point with the swing arm 107 as its axis. The swing base 106 is provided with a receiving hole 101, which opens onto the top surface of the swing base 106. A magnetic suction element 2 is disposed on the top surface of the swing base 106. By configuring the support base 1 as a fixed base 105, a swing base 106, and a swing arm 107, with the two axial ends of the swing arm 107 rotatably connected to the fixed base 105 and the swing base 106, the device placed on the top surface of the support base 1 can adjust its shooting angle, making it flexible and convenient to use.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the fixed base 105 has a storage cavity 108 and a connector 109. The storage cavity 108 opens upwards, and the connector 109 is located at the bottom of the storage cavity 108 and rotatably connected to the swing arm 107. The swing arm 107 can swing downwards to be housed in the storage cavity 108 or swing upwards to extend out of the storage cavity 108. When the swing arm 107 swings downwards to be housed in the storage cavity 108, the swing seat 106 can swing downwards to abut against the opening of the storage cavity 108. Specifically, when the swing arm 107 swings downwards to be housed in the storage cavity 108 and the swing seat 106 swings downwards to abut against the opening of the storage cavity 108, the support base 1 is defined as being in a folded state; when the swing arm 107 swings upwards to extend out of the storage cavity 108 and the swing seat 106 swings upwards away from the swing arm 107, the support base 1 is defined as being in an unfolded state. The above configuration, by providing an upward-opening storage cavity 108 on the fixed base 105, and by configuring the swing arm 107 to swing down and be housed in the storage cavity 108 or swing up and extend out of the storage cavity 108, and by configuring the swing seat 106 to swing down and abut against the opening of the storage cavity 108 when the swing arm 107 swings down and is housed in the storage cavity 108, allows the swing seat 106 and the swing arm 107 to swing down and be housed on the fixed base 105 or swing up and extend, resulting in a small storage volume and convenient storage.

[0035] In this embodiment of the utility model, a locking structure 110 is provided on the fixed base 105 and the swing base 106. The locking structure 110 locks the swing base 106 onto the fixed base 105 when the swing base 106 abuts against the opening of the storage cavity 108. Specifically, the cavity wall of the storage cavity 108 is provided with a lower buckle 111, and the swing base 106 is provided with an upper buckle arm 112. When the swing base 106 abuts against the opening of the storage cavity 108, the upper buckle arm 112 extends into the storage cavity 108 and engages with the lower buckle 111 to restrict the swing of the swing base 106. The upper buckle arm 112 can move relative to the swing base 106 to release the lower buckle 111. The lower buckle 111 and the upper buckle arm 112 constitute the locking structure 110. There are two lower buckles 111 and two upper buckle arms 112, and they are one-to-one corresponding. The two upper buckle arms 112 are arranged opposite to each other. The above configuration involves a lower latch 111 on the wall of the storage cavity 108 and an upper latch 112 on the swing seat 106. When the swing seat 106 abuts against the opening of the storage cavity 108, the upper latch 112 extends into the storage cavity 108 and engages with the lower latch 111 to restrict the rotation of the swing seat 106. Therefore, when the swing seat 106 is folded into the fixed seat 105, it is stably connected to the fixed seat 105.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the upper latch arm 112 has a pressing portion 113 protruding from the peripheral wall of the swing seat 106. This arrangement, by providing the pressing portion 113 protruding from the peripheral wall of the swing seat 106 on the upper latch arm 112, facilitates user unlocking by pressing.
