[0002] With the development of the internet, the demand for e-commerce and personal photography has increased, leading to a growing demand from e-commerce businesses and ordinary consumers for mounting handles for cameras or other photography equipment to improve photographic effects. However, existing charging handles are large and not easy to carry; some handles lack a stand, or the stand cannot be retracted or extended, affecting the user experience; and some handles lack an expansion screw interface on the top, or the screw interface cannot be extended or retracted, making them inconvenient for storage and assembly with equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a charging handle that simultaneously functions as assembling equipment, charging equipment, and supporting the assembly equipment to form a bracket.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.

[0005] The charging handle includes a handle body with a built-in power supply component. The handle body is equipped with several interconnected support legs. Stretching or pushing any one support leg will cause the other support legs to extend or retract, so that the handle body can switch between a handheld storage state and a supported use state. The handle body is provided with a charging and discharging interface, and the handle body has one or more interfaces for assembly with devices.

[0006] Furthermore, when there is one or more interfaces, the interfaces are screw interfaces and / or nut interfaces located on the handle body.

[0007] Furthermore, the handle body includes a housing and a battery compartment located inside the housing, and the bottom of the battery compartment is provided with the nut interface.

[0008] Furthermore, a sliding frame is provided between the battery compartment and the outer shell, which can only slide along the axial direction of the handle body, and several support legs are arranged radially along the sliding frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a storage compartment is formed on the handle body. During the spiral movement of the storage compartment, at least one interface is either hidden inside the handle body or exposed outside the handle body.

[0010] Furthermore, the storage compartment includes a rotating shell, which, during rotation, causes the interface to extend out of or retract into the storage compartment.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a plug located inside the handle body, the plug extending and fixed within the assembly gap of the handle body, and the rotating shell being assembled on the plug.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating shell includes an upper rotating shell and a lower rotating shell forming a rotating cavity, the plug forms a base inside the rotating cavity, and the interface is assembled at the base.

[0013] Furthermore, a lever is linked to the lower rotating shell, and a reset torsion spring is provided on the plug. The lower rotating shell is locked on the reset torsion spring, and the lever is forced to rotate the lower rotating shell along the plug.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a locking pin that abuts against or disengages from the lower rotating shell. One of the locking pins or interfaces is provided with a slot, and the other is provided with an insertion part that matches the limiting groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper rotating shell forms a locking pin pressure cavity, and the upper rotating shell is externally threaded to an outer rotating shell. A rubber pad layer is attached to the outer rotating shell. When the interface is exposed and connected to the equipment, rotating the outer rotating shell causes the outer rotating shell and the rubber pad layer to rise together, so that the rubber pad layer is pressed tightly against the equipment.

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

[0017] In this invention, the linkage of multiple supporting legs extending or retracting is utilized, so that during use, there is no need to stretch them repeatedly; that is, all legs can be extended or retracted by stretching them sequentially, thus improving the user's efficiency.

[0018] In this invention, one or more interfaces are provided on the charging handle, enabling it to be equipped with multiple devices, thus expanding its application. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Equivalent transformations or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] See attached document Figure 1-12 As shown, the charging handle in this embodiment includes a handle body 100 with a built-in power supply component 110. The handle body 100 is equipped with a plurality of interconnected support legs 120. Stretching or pushing any one support leg 120 will cause the other support legs 120 to extend or retract, so that the handle body 100 can switch between a handheld storage state and a supported use state. The handle body 100 is provided with a charging and discharging interface 130 and one or more interfaces 140 for assembly with a device.

[0035] See attached document Figure 1-5 It is clear that in the retracted state, all the support legs 120 are retracted and not exposed. In the supported state, all the support legs 120 form a support at the same height, thus achieving stable support.

[0036] The interface is described in this embodiment as follows:

[0037] First, regarding the number of interfaces 140, in this embodiment, the number of interfaces 140 is one, two, three, four, or more. Compared to the prior art where a handle can only be equipped with one interface 140 device, its overall application range is wider. For example, interfaces 140 can be set at both ends, and two electronic products and / or other devices can be installed at both ends. In this case, during user use, the bottom interface 140 can be used to fix it on a bracket or other device to avoid handheld use, thereby expanding the shooting scenarios. The top interface can be retracted and stored, making it compact, convenient, and easy to store and carry.

[0038] Secondly, regarding the interface type 140, in this embodiment, the interface 140 can be either a screw interface 141 or a nut interface 142. However, when there are two or more interfaces 140, all interfaces 140 can be screw interfaces 141, or nut interfaces 142 can be selected simultaneously, or a combination of screw interfaces 141 and nut interfaces 142 can be used. The combination can be made according to the actual situation. For example, when assembling a camera, screw interfaces 141 can be selected, while nut interfaces 142 can be set at the bottom to fix the handle to the bracket or other equipment. The top of the handle is usually a screw interface 141.

[0039] Regarding the linkage of the multiple support legs 120 and their assembly within the handle body 100 in this embodiment, the following is a description;

[0040] See attached document Figure 7 As shown, the handle body 100 includes a housing 150 and a battery compartment 151 located inside the housing 150. The bottom of the battery compartment 151 is provided with a nut interface 142, which can be set in a staggered manner with the battery assembly in the battery compartment 151 to avoid interference.

[0041] See attached document Figure 8 As shown, a light shield 153 and a light guide column 154 are also provided on the top of the battery compartment 151. There are several light guide columns 154, which can be used to form a power display, etc. The purpose of the light shield 153 is to partially isolate the power display from electronic components such as circuit boards.

[0042] See attached document Figure 6As shown in the other accompanying drawings, in order to achieve linkage, a sliding frame 152 that can only slide along the axial direction of the handle body 100 is provided between the battery compartment 151 and the outer shell 150 in this embodiment, and several support legs 120 are arranged radially along the sliding frame 152. Therefore, in use, if one of the support legs 120 is pulled up or down along the length direction (i.e., the axial direction) of the handle body 100, the other support legs 120 will also move up and down accordingly, achieving the effect of moving closer to storage or further away from support.

[0043] In actual assembly, the support leg 120 is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 152 via a pin. When the support leg 120 is pulled, the sliding frame 152 moves up and down along the outer shell 150. During this process, the support leg 120 is exposed when moving downwards, and then the support leg 120 rotates to provide support. In practical applications, when in use, the support leg 120 forms an acute angle with the support surface. This acute angle provides a relatively high support height, meeting the requirements.

[0044] The interface 140 in this embodiment, compared with the fixed interface 140 in the prior art, can be retracted. That is, it is exposed when in use and hidden inside the handle body 100 when in storage. Specifically, to achieve the above effect, the retraction of the interface 140 is described as follows:

[0045] See attached document Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the storage of the screw interface 141 is used as an example for explanation. The positions of the nut interface 142 and the screw interface 141 can be interchanged, so there is no need to repeat the description of the storage of the nut interface 142. When the support leg 120 is stored, the entire handle is in an unused state. At this time, the screw interface 141 is stored, while the attached... Figure 4-5 As shown in Figure 9, after the support leg 120 is extended, the screw interface 141 can be unscrewed to allow for normal external use.

[0046] See attached document Figure 9-12 As shown, in order to achieve storage, a storage compartment 200 is formed on the handle body 100. During the spiral movement of the storage compartment 200, at least one interface 140 (such as screw interface 141) is hidden inside the handle body 100 or exposed outside the handle body 100.

[0047] To facilitate the retraction and extension of the interface 140 for storage during confinement, as shown in the attached drawings, the storage compartment 200 includes a rotating shell. As the rotating shell rotates, it causes the interface 140 to extend or retract into the storage compartment 200. This rotation is controlled horizontally, thus keeping the overall handle body 100 compact and saving space.

[0048] As shown in the attached drawings, the assembly also includes a plug 160 located inside the handle body 100. The plug 160 extends and is fixed within the assembly gap of the handle body 100. The bottom of the plug 160 is fixed inside the handle body 100, and the plug 160 forms the basis for assembly. The rotating shell is assembled onto the plug 160, completing the assembly of the rotating shell and the handle body 100, thus enabling its rotation.

[0049] Specifically, the rotating shell includes an upper rotating shell 210 and a lower rotating shell 220 forming a rotating cavity. The plug 160 forms a base within the rotating cavity, and the interface 140 is fitted onto the base. In this case, the plug 160 acts as a support within the handle body 100, and then the interface 140 is fitted onto the support to achieve a stable assembly.

[0050] To enable rotation, a lever 230 is linked to the lower rotating shell 220. A return torsion spring 240 is provided on the plug 160, and the lower rotating shell 220 is engaged with the return torsion spring 240. When the lever 230 is subjected to force, it drives the lower rotating shell 220 to rotate along the plug 160. After the lever 230 stops being subjected to force, the return torsion spring 240 drives the lower rotating shell 220 to return to its original position. In this embodiment, a sliding groove can be formed on the outer shell 150, allowing the lever 230 to rotate along the groove. By limiting the curvature range of the sliding groove, the fluctuation range of the lever 230 is limited, thus enabling the setting of the rotation range of the entire rotating shell.

[0051] To control interface 140, a locking pin 250 is provided inside the upper rotating shell 210. One end of the locking pin 250 abuts against or disengages from the lower rotating shell 220. For example, two locking pins 250 are symmetrically arranged, engaging interface 140. Specifically, one locking pin 250 serves as a slot, and the other as an insertion part. Before the lever 230 moves, the insertion part and slot are matched, and the lower rotating shell 220 abuts against the tail of the locking pin 250. As the lever 230 rotates, it causes the lower rotating shell 220 to rotate within the upper rotating shell 210, and then the tail of the locking pin 250 disengages from the lower rotating shell 220. 250 retracts under the action of the spring, the insertion part and the slot disengage, and the restriction of interface 140 is removed. The reset spring at the bottom of interface 140 resets, which in turn causes interface 140 to pop out of handle body 100 instantly. The lever 230 stops rotating, and the reset torsion spring 240 drives the lower rotating shell 220 to reset. When it is necessary to hide interface 140, the lever 230 is turned to rotate the lower rotating shell 220. At the same time, interface 140 is pressed down, which will move downward and match the insertion part and the slot to achieve storage. Specifically, when the insertion part or the slot is on interface 140, a circle can be set in the circumferential direction, which facilitates direct assembly or disassembly in the future.

[0052] While the above achieves the assembly of electronic products and other equipment, there may be a gap between the bottom of the equipment and the handle. In this case, the upper rotating shell 210 forms a locking pin 250 pressing cavity. The upper rotating shell 210 is externally threaded to the outer rotating shell 260. The outer rotating shell 260 has a rubber pad layer 261 attached to it. When the interface 140 is exposed and connected to the equipment, rotating the outer rotating shell 260 causes the outer rotating shell 260 and the rubber pad layer 261 to rise together, so that the rubber pad layer 261 is pressed against the equipment, thereby preventing the equipment from loosening and achieving further locking and fixing of the equipment.

[0053] In this embodiment, the connection and assembly relationship of the charging handle is as follows:

[0054] First, a rubber pad layer 261 is added to the outer rotating shell 260. Then, a retractable interface 140, such as a screw interface 141, is provided with a return spring at its bottom. The screw interface 141 and the locking pin 250 are then inserted into a slot, causing both sides of the screw interface 141 to be locked by the locking pin 250. The other end of the locking pin 250 initially abuts against the lower rotating shell 220. A plug 160 forming a base is provided below the locking pin 250, and an upper rotating shell 210 is provided on the plug 160. The contact edges of the plug 160 and the upper rotating shell 210 form a circular limit. The other end of the locking pin 250 is simultaneously positioned within the circular limit. At this time, the tail of the locking pin 250 is in contact with the lower rotating shell 220. 20 is supported by an arc feature (i.e., abutted); the upper rotating shell 210 has threads on its side ring, which correspond to the threads on the inner side of the outer rotating shell 260; the inner side of the lower rotating shell 220 is fixed to the torsion spring for reset, and is placed between the upper rotating shell 210 and the plug 160. At this time, due to the reset action of the torsion spring, the lower rotating shell 220 can reciprocate along the circumference of the upper rotating shell 210 and the plug 160 under the action of the lever 230. The rotation range can be set, for example, it can make a 30° reciprocating rotation under the action of the torsion spring. In order to make full use of the space, the PCB board assembly can be fixed with screws on the lower end face of the plug 160 to form the electrical assembly and control assembly of the handle, etc.

[0055] To facilitate operation, button holes are added to the outer shell 150 of the handle body 100, and then buttons and button light guide keys are fixed on the button holes for control.

[0056] Secondly, a battery compartment 151 for assembling batteries is provided in the handle body 100. The bottom of the battery compartment 151 is provided with a nut interface 142. The hook at the bottom of the battery compartment 151 forms a lanyard hole with the corresponding feature of the outer shell 150. The upper part of the battery compartment 151 is provided with battery foam, thermal conductive silicone, battery fixing plate and lower PCB board assembly, which are all fixed to the top of the battery compartment 151 by screws. The lower PCB board assembly is also provided with light guide post 154 and light shield 153 parts, which are fixed to the top of the PCB board by positioning post.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, three support legs 120 are formed by three brackets, and the three support legs 120 are fixed to the sliding frame 152 by pins, allowing for rotational movement; a bracket cover is attached to the other end of the bracket, and a rubber pad is attached to the bracket cover for protection.

[0058] In this embodiment, when assembling the support leg 120, the bracket portion on the support leg 120 is fixed between the battery compartment 151 and the outer shell 150, and is limited and fixed in the horizontal direction, only able to move up and down; the battery compartment 151 is fixed to the outer shell 150 by screws on the inner bottom; the upper rotating shell 210 and the lower rotating shell 220 are fixed inside the outer shell 150 and on the battery compartment 151 by the limiting of the plug 160 and the screws.

[0059] In this embodiment, the outer rotating shell 260 forms an assembly cavity, and the screw interface 141 is located at its center. When the interface 140 is popped out, a rubber ring is provided at the bottom of the screw interface 141. When the screw interface 141 pops out, the rubber ring contacts the limiting part in the assembly cavity, which not only ensures the popping height of the screw interface 141, but also makes the screw interface 141 form a buffer contact with the interior of the outer rotating shell 260, thus protecting the structure.

[0060] Hooks are provided on the annular structure formed on the outer periphery of the upper rotating shell 210 and the outer rotating shell 260. These hooks match the hooks inside the outer rotating shell 260 to form a hook connection. When the outer rotating shell 260 rotates to a set height, the two hooks engage, preventing the outer rotating shell 260 from continuing to rotate and rise. At this height, the camera is just able to come into contact with the rubber pad layer 261, preventing it from becoming loose due to excessive height.

[0061] The usage process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0062] Before use, hide the screw interface 141 and the support leg 120. During use, first use your finger to pull down one of the support legs 120. All three support legs 120 can extend simultaneously and can be unfolded to 75° to stand on the table.

[0063] When it is necessary to assemble the equipment, operate the lever 230 to release the engagement of the locking pin 250 with the screw interface 141, thereby exposing the screw interface 141. At this time, the camera and other equipment can be assembled. Of course, for the nut interface 142 on the other side of the handle, the second equipment can also be assembled directly by adding the screw interface 141, etc., to complete the initial assembly of the equipment on the handle.

[0064] When it is necessary to orient the camera screen towards the user, rotate the outer rotating shell 260 to raise the outer rotating shell 260, thereby pressing and locking the camera.

[0065] The handle is equipped with a charging and discharging interface 130 for charging and discharging; four indicator lights are located above the charging and discharging interface 130 to display the handle's battery level; it is also equipped with buttons, which can charge or control electronic products when they are connected to the handle via a data cable.

[0066] In this embodiment, the bottom of the handle is also designed with a nut interface 142, which can fix the handle to the corresponding screw; in addition, the bottom side of the handle is designed with a lanyard hole, which can be used to install a lanyard for convenient use.
