Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of photographic equipment auxiliary tools, and in particular relates to an adapter mechanism for photographic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Action cameras are typically attached to vehicles such as bicycles to film people or scenery while the bicycle is in motion. However, due to the vehicle traveling on rough terrain, the action camera shakes, negatively impacting the captured image. For scenarios where the vehicle is a car, Chinese patent CN116749892A discloses… Figure 1 This invention discloses a vehicle-mounted camera anti-shake bracket structure. The outer frame has an adsorption module on top, and a slidable suspension module inside the frame. Below the suspension module is a detachable counterweight module. The outer shell and the outer wall of the frame form a closed cavity containing a sensing and adjustment module. This module includes a bidirectional motor assembly, a sensing mechanism, a screw mechanism, a transmission structure, a cable winder, and a linkage. The sensing mechanism and the bidirectional motor assembly are electrically connected. By employing a magnetic levitation vibration reduction design, the camera mounting bracket is not directly connected to the vehicle body, preventing vibration transmission. It senses the vehicle's vibration amplitude in real time. When the vibration amplitude reaches a predetermined value, the mounting bracket is adjusted to change from a fixed position to gravity-based angle adjustment. Even with significant vehicle shaking, the camera remains vertical due to gravity, improving the stability of the lens and ensuring the clarity, stability, and effectiveness of the captured images.

[0003] The above structure is relatively complex and has high manufacturing costs. Moreover, since it needs to be used in conjunction with a motor assembly, i.e., it requires power to operate, its application is more suited to automobiles and is not suitable for use with everyday vehicles such as bicycles. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a conversion mechanism for photographic equipment. It uses a first action unit and a second action unit to form a vertical balancing effect on the moving parts, and uses a third action unit and a fourth action unit to form a lateral balancing effect on the moving parts, thereby achieving a good shock absorption function and reducing image shake caused by photographic equipment.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an adapter mechanism for photographic equipment, comprising:

[0006] The base has a hollow interior forming an installation cavity;

[0007] The movable component is movably disposed in the mounting cavity and at least partially extends from the end of the base;

[0008] The first action unit and the second action unit are located on opposite sides of the moving part in the vertical direction, and are used to provide the moving part with a first action force and a second action force in opposite directions;

[0009] The third and fourth action units are located on opposite sides of the moving part in the lateral direction, and are used to provide the moving part with a third action force and a fourth action force in opposite directions;

[0010] The first, second, third, and fourth action units each include a magnetic component one and a magnetic component two, and the magnetic poles of the magnetic component one and the magnetic component two are arranged opposite each other so that they repel each other to generate the first action force, or generate the second action force, or generate the third action force, or generate the fourth action force.

[0011] This invention utilizes a first and second action unit to create vertical force balance on the moving parts, and a third and fourth action unit to create lateral force balance on the moving parts. This ensures that when bicycles or other vehicles are ridden on rough roads, the vibrations of the moving parts are absorbed by the first, second, third, and fourth action units, preventing significant vibrations and reducing image shake caused by bumps in photographic equipment. The action unit includes two magnetic components with oppositely arranged magnetic poles. The first, second, third, and fourth action forces are invisible repulsive forces, less affected by external environmental temperature and humidity. The repulsive forces do not change after prolonged use, exhibiting excellent fatigue resistance, longer service life, and a beneficial effect on shock absorption.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a fifth and a sixth action unit, located on opposite sides of the moving part in the lateral direction, for providing the moving part with a fifth and a sixth action force in opposite directions, with the fifth action force perpendicular to the direction of the third action force; each of the fifth and sixth action units includes a first magnetic component and a second magnetic component, with the like magnetic poles of the first and second magnetic components arranged opposite each other so that they repel each other to generate the fifth action force or the sixth action force. The fifth and sixth action units cooperate with the third and fourth action units to form a balancing effect on the moving part in all directions, thereby reducing the vibration of the moving part in all directions.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body of the movable component is cubic, with a groove formed on its outer surface for embedding a magnetic component. The sidewall of the groove covers the outer wall of the magnetic component. The sidewall of the groove covering the outer wall of the magnetic component concentrates the magnetism on the end face of the magnetic component, resulting in a greater repulsive force between the magnetic component and the second magnetic component, thus improving the anti-vibration effect on the movable component.

[0014] Furthermore, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth action units also include a guide rod, on which the second magnetic component is sleeved, or the first and second magnetic components are positioned close to the guide rod. The guide rod provides support for the second magnetic component or the first and second magnetic components, preventing the second magnetic component from deviating from the alignment of the first magnetic component, and also provides guidance for the repulsive translation of the second and first magnetic components, preventing uneven force distribution on the moving parts.

[0015] Furthermore, the movable component forms a guide channel into which the guide rod extends, and the guide channels around the movable component are located on the same plane. The guide channels provide support and positioning for the guide rod, and the fact that the guide channels around the movable component are on the same plane ensures that the forces acting on the movable component around its perimeter will not be misaligned in the vertical direction, resulting in a more balanced force distribution.

[0016] Furthermore, the third and fourth action units are symmetrically arranged, as are the fifth and sixth action units. This symmetrical arrangement ensures more balanced force distribution on the moving parts in all directions, resulting in better vibration prevention.

[0017] Furthermore, the base includes an upper shell and a bottom shell. The upper shell is hollow to form an installation cavity, and the bottom shell is detachably connected to the bottom opening of the upper shell. The bottom shell forms a groove for embedding the second magnetic component and covering the outer wall of the second magnetic component.

[0018] Furthermore, a limiting groove is formed on the circumferential inner wall of the base, within which the second magnetic component moves. The limiting groove prevents the second magnetic component from shifting significantly in the circumferential direction, ensuring its vertical movement.

[0019] Furthermore, the end of the movable component extending from the base is provided with a conversion interface assembly. The conversion interface assembly can connect to different photographic equipment, has a wide range of applications, and is easy to connect and disconnect.

[0020] Furthermore, the conversion interface assembly includes an adapter base detachably connected to the end of the movable part, an adapter cover detachably connected to the adapter base, and a rotating disk that is limited and locked between the adapter base and the adapter cover, with the threaded adapter section of the rotating disk protruding from the adapter cover.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the moving parts will not generate large-scale vibrations, reducing image shake caused by bumps in photographic equipment; the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth forces are invisible repulsive forces, which are less affected by external environmental temperature and humidity, and the repulsive force will not change after long-term use, resulting in excellent fatigue resistance, longer service life, and a positive impact on shock absorption; even if foreign objects enter the mounting cavity, the repulsive force of the magnetic parts will not be affected, resulting in higher stability; the overall assembly structure is simple, and the installation positions of magnetic parts one and two are reasonably designed, with both facing each other and the groove sidewall covering the outer sidewall of the magnetic parts, which can increase the repulsive force; the magnetic force of magnetic parts one and two is selectable and can be adjusted according to the weight of the moving parts and the weight of the photographic equipment to be supported, resulting in high adaptability; the conversion interface component can be used to connect different photographic equipment and carriers, resulting in high adaptability.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the adapter mechanism for photographic equipment includes a base 1 with a hollow interior forming a mounting cavity 11, a movable member 2 movably disposed within the mounting cavity 11, a first actuating unit 3 for providing a vertical force to the movable member 2, a second actuating unit 4 for providing a vertically opposite force to the movable member 2, a third actuating unit 5 for providing a lateral force to the movable member 2, and a fourth actuating unit 6 for providing a laterally opposite force to the movable member 2. The movable member 2 is movable within the mounting cavity 11, specifically in the vertical direction and in the left-right and front-back directions. At least a portion of the movable member 2 extends from the end of the base 1, and this extended end is provided with a conversion interface assembly 14 for connecting photographic equipment such as mobile phones and action cameras. The bottom of the base 1 is provided with another adapter for connecting suction cups, clips, etc., which can be connected to vehicles such as bicycles, thereby enabling the adapter mechanism to connect the vehicle and the photographic equipment.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first actuating unit 3 and the second actuating unit 4 are disposed on opposite sides of the movable member 2 in the vertical direction. The direction of the first actuating force is opposite to the direction of the second actuating force, and the vertical direction refers to the axial direction of the base 1. Specifically, Figure 3 Taking the directions shown as an example, the first force is vertically downward, and the second force is vertically upward. The third and fourth action units 5 are located on opposite sides of the moving part 2 in the left-right direction. The directions of the third and fourth forces are opposite. Specifically, [the text continues with details about the action units and their directions]. Figure 3 Taking the direction shown as an example, the third force pushes the movable part 2 to the right, and the fourth force pushes the movable part 2 to the left.

[0036] The first action unit 3, the second action unit 4, the third action unit 5, and the fourth action unit 6 each include a first magnetic component 91 and a second magnetic component 92, with the like magnetic poles of the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 arranged opposite each other, thereby causing the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 to repel each other and generate a first action force, a second action force, a third action force, or a fourth action force. Specifically, the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 are permanent magnets.

[0037] It also includes a fifth action unit 7 and a sixth action unit 8, which are disposed on opposite sides of the movable member 2 in the lateral direction, for providing the movable member 2 with a fifth action force and a sixth action force in opposite directions, and the fifth action force is perpendicular to the direction of the third action force, specifically as follows: Figure 3 Taking the direction shown as an example, the fifth action unit 7 and the sixth action unit 8 are arranged on opposite sides of the moving part 2 in the front-rear direction. The directions of the fifth action force and the sixth action force are opposite. Specifically, taking... Figure 3 Taking the direction shown as an example, the fifth force pushes the movable part 2 backward, and the sixth force pushes the movable part 2 forward.

[0038] Both the fifth action unit 7 and the sixth action unit 8 include a first magnetic component 91 and a second magnetic component 92, with the like magnetic poles of the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 arranged opposite each other, thereby causing the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 to repel each other and generate a fifth action force or a sixth action force. Specifically, the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 are permanent magnets.

[0039] In this embodiment, the main body of the movable part 2 is cubic, and a groove 21 for the magnetic part 91 to be embedded is formed on its outer surface. Specifically, grooves 21 are provided on its top surface, bottom surface, front, back, left and right sides. Regardless of the size and shape of the magnetic part 91, the groove 21 covers the outer wall of the magnetic part 91, so that the end face of the magnetic part 91 with the most concentrated magnetic poles is exposed outside the groove 21.

[0040] To facilitate the installation and positioning of the second magnetic component 92, the first action unit 3, the second action unit 4, the third action unit 5, the fourth action unit 6, the fifth action unit 7, and the sixth action unit 8 all include a guide rod 31. The first magnetic component 91 is sleeved on the guide rod 31, or the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 are not sleeved on the guide rod 31, but are set close to the guide rod 31. In this case, the guide rod 31 can be set on the base 1 or on the movable component 2.

[0041] Specifically, for the third action unit 5, fourth action unit 6, fifth action unit 7, and sixth action unit 8 in the front, back, left, and right directions, the second magnetic component 92 is sleeved on the guide rod 31, or both the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 are sleeved on the guide rod 31. Simultaneously, a guide channel 22 is formed on the movable component 2 for the guide rod 31 to extend into. The outer diameter of the guide rod 31 is approximately equal to the inner diameter of the through hole in the center of the second magnetic component 92, thus preventing displacement of the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 in the lateral direction. In this embodiment, the guide channels 22 around the movable component 2 are located on the same plane, meaning that the force on the movable component 2 will not have vertical misalignment, resulting in a more balanced force distribution.

[0042] In this embodiment, the third action unit 5 and the fourth action unit 6 are symmetrically arranged, and the fifth action unit 7 and the sixth action unit 8 are symmetrically arranged, so that the third action force and the fourth action force have a relatively balanced effect on the moving part 2, and the fifth action force and the sixth action force have a relatively balanced effect on the moving part 2, thus avoiding unnecessary deviation of the moving part 2.

[0043] For the first and second action units 3 and 4 in the up and down directions, guide rods 31 are mounted on the base 1. To allow the movable part 2 to move freely in the left-right and front-back directions, the inner diameter of the guide channel 22 formed at the top and bottom of the movable part 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the guide rod 31. In this case, the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 are not sleeved on the guide rod 31, but are installed close to the guide rod 31. The number of the first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 can be two or more. In this embodiment, there are two first magnetic components 91 and the second magnetic component 92 in the first action unit 3, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable part 2, and there are four guide rods 31. In the second action unit 4, there is one first magnetic component 91 and one second magnetic component 92, and there are four guide rods 31. The first magnetic component 91 and the second magnetic component 92 are installed in the space enclosed by the four guide rods 31.

[0044] The base 1 includes an upper shell 12 and a bottom shell 13. The upper shell 12 is cylindrical and hollow inside to form an installation cavity 11. Its bottom is open. The bottom shell 13 is detachably connected to the bottom opening of the upper shell 12. The aforementioned guide rod 31 is vertically connected to the inner surface of the bottom shell 13. The inner surface of the bottom shell 13 forms a groove 131 for embedding and covering the outer wall of the magnetic component 92. The groove 131 is concentrically arranged with the bottom shell 13.

[0045] To prevent the third action unit 5, the fourth action unit 6, the fifth action unit 7 and the sixth action unit 8 from deflecting in the circumferential direction, a limiting groove 15 is formed on the inner circumferential wall of the upper shell 12. The width of the limiting groove 15 is approximately equal to the outer diameter of the second magnetic component 92, and the height of the limiting groove 15 is greater than the outer diameter of the second magnetic component 92. Thus, the second magnetic component 92 can move up and down along the limiting groove 15 without deflecting in the circumferential direction.

[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 The conversion interface assembly 14 shown includes an adapter base 141, an adapter cover 142, and a rotating disk 154. The adapter base 141 is detachably connected to the top of the movable part 2, specifically via a threaded connection. The adapter cover 142 and the adapter base 141 are detachably connected, and the two are joined together to form a space for limiting and securing the rotating disk 154. The threaded adapter section 144 of the rotating disk 154 protrudes from the adapter cover 142 for connecting photographic equipment. By applying external force to rotate the rotating disk 154, the threaded adapter section 144 can be used to connect or disconnect external camera equipment, making it suitable for various applications and convenient for assembly and disassembly.

[0047] In use, the first magnetic component 91 of the first action unit 3 is disposed on the top surface of the movable component 2, and the second magnetic component 92 is disposed on the inner top surface of the base 1. The like charges of the two repel each other, generating a downward first force on the movable component 2. The second magnetic component 91 of the second action unit 4 is disposed on the bottom surface of the movable component 2, and the second magnetic component 92 is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the base 1. The like charges of the two repel each other, generating an upward second force on the movable component 2. The first force, the gravity of the movable component 2, and the second force form a state of mutual balance. In the event of vibration, the first action unit 3 and the second action unit 4 absorb the vibration of the movable component 2. In other words, even if the base 1 vibrates, the vibration amplitude of the movable component 2 is small with the cooperation of the first action unit 3 and the second action unit 4. Or, the movable component 2 can maintain a relatively balanced state in the axial direction, thereby achieving a good shock absorption function for the connecting mechanism.

[0048] The first magnet 91 of the third action unit 5 is located on the side of the movable part 2, and the second magnet 92 is supported by the guide rod 31. The second magnet 92 repels the first magnet 91, generating a rightward third force on the movable part 2. Similarly, the first magnet 91 and the second magnet 92 of the fourth action unit 6 repel each other, generating a leftward fourth force on the movable part 2. The first magnet 91 and the second magnet 92 of the fifth action unit 7 repel each other, generating a backward fifth force on the movable part 2. The first magnet 91 and the second magnet 92 of the sixth action unit 8 repel each other, generating a forward sixth force on the movable part 2. The third and fourth forces, and the fifth and sixth forces, are in a state of mutual balance. In the event of vibration, this absorbs the shaking or vibration of the movable part 2, resulting in a small amplitude of vibration in the movable part 2. In other words, the movable part 2 can maintain a relatively balanced state laterally, thus achieving good shock absorption of the transition mechanism.

[0049] Meanwhile, since the working units are repulsive magnetic components 91 and 92, which generate an invisible repulsive force, the shock absorption effect on the moving part 2 is better. It is less affected by external environmental temperature and humidity, and the repulsive force remains unchanged after prolonged use, resulting in excellent fatigue resistance and a longer service life. Furthermore, compared to using a spring, utilizing the invisible repulsive force generated by magnetic components 91 and 92 requires less space, eliminating spatial limitations. The magnetic field between magnetic components 91 and 92 is less affected by external factors, and the repulsive force remains relatively constant, leading to higher stability in use.

[0050] The above specific embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications and changes made to the present utility model within the spirit and scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
