[0082] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention: a folding bracket 1000 and a quick-folding diffuser.

[0083] Example 1

[0084] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown;

[0085] The folding bracket 1000 provided according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes:

[0086] Connector 10;

[0087] A first support frame 20 is disposed on one side of the connecting seat 10;

[0088] The second support frame 30 is disposed on the other side of the connecting seat 10 and is disposed opposite to the first support frame 20, and can be folded relative to the first support frame 20.

[0089] Based on the above, it is clear that this application is mainly used as a folding bracket 1000 in specific implementation.

[0090] Specifically, in applying this application, the second support frame 30 and the first support frame 20 can be folded relative to each other, so that they can be folded to a certain angle to support the connecting seat 10. Specifically, refer to... Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the second support frame 30 and the first support frame 20 are used as support legs. The user can install the required items, such as a light source for photography, on the connecting seat 10, and place a light-blocking cloth around the second support frame 30 and the first support frame 20, which are folded to a certain angle. Specifically, refer to the description in Embodiment 2. Figure 10 As shown, this application can thus be used as a softbox for photography.

[0091] For example, other objects that need to be placed can be placed on the connecting seat 10, and then supported by the second support frame 30 folded to a certain angle with the first support frame 20 for display purposes. Alternatively, other objects that need to be dried can be placed on the connecting seat 10, and then supported by the second support frame 30 folded to a certain angle with the first support frame 20 for drying purposes. Furthermore, a ring of fabric can be added around the second support frame 30 folded to a certain angle and the first support frame 20 to make this application usable as a tent or similar device.

[0092] Meanwhile, both the second support frame 30 and the first support frame 20 can be used to hang items, and in comparison... Figure 5 As shown, when the second support frame 30, the first support frame 20 and the connecting seat 10 are unfolded in a horizontal line, this application can also be used independently, making this application versatile and comprehensive in its functions.

[0093] Furthermore, regarding the above, in comparison Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second support frame 30 and the first support frame 20 can be folded relative to each other so that they can fit together after being folded. In this way, the overall volume of this application can be reduced by nearly half when not in use, so that it does not occupy much space when not in use.

[0094] Furthermore, the meaning of folding in this application does not necessarily mean that the second support frame 30 and the first support frame 20 are folded together or folded into place. Even if they are folded together at a certain angle, it is still a fold and is still limited to the protection scope claimed in this application.

[0095] Meanwhile, by folding the second support frame 30 and the first support frame 20 to a certain angle to support the connecting seat 10, and installing the light source for photography on the connecting seat 10, and by attaching a light-blocking cloth around the second support frame 30 and the first support frame 20, when using this application as a softbox for photography, it is possible to eliminate the need for multiple rigid support bars. This makes the folding of this application simple and effortless, quick and time-saving, and also reduces the amount of consumables, parts, and production costs, resulting in low manufacturing and operating costs.

[0096] Furthermore, in specific implementation, in accordance with... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first support frame 20 is disposed to the left at the bottom of the connecting seat 10, and the second support frame 30 is disposed to the right at the bottom of the connecting seat 10;

[0097] Comparison Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the second support frame 30 is flipped downwards and to the left, the second support frame 30 can be flipped to the bottom of the first support frame 20 and fit against the first support frame 20.

[0098] Therefore, it can be clearly understood that when the first support frame 20 is disposed to the left at the bottom of the connecting seat 10 and the second support frame 30 is disposed to the right at the bottom of the connecting seat 10, the entire application can be formed into a horizontal pallet-like structure. The entire structure formed by the application can be used to support the object to be supported.

[0099] When the second support frame 30 is flipped downwards and to the left, the second support frame 30 can be flipped to the bottom of the first support frame 20 and fit against the first support frame 20. In this way, the overall volume of this application can indeed be reduced by nearly half when not in use, so that it does not occupy much space when not in use.

[0100] Preferably, in this technical solution, the comparison continues. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second support frame 30 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 10 and / or the first support frame 20 via a rotating shaft 40.

[0101] In other words, in one embodiment, the second support frame 30 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 10 via a rotating shaft 40; in another embodiment, the second support frame 30 is rotatably connected to the first support frame 20 via a rotating shaft 40; and in yet another embodiment, the second support frame 30 is rotatably connected to both the connecting seat 10 and the first support frame 20 via a rotating shaft 40.

[0102] In a preferred embodiment, the left end of the second support frame 30 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 10 and / or the right end of the first support frame 20 via the rotating shaft 40.

[0103] Regardless of the solution described above, both can achieve the goal of allowing the second support frame 30 and the first support frame 20 to be folded relative to each other, making the design of this application flexible and versatile.

[0104] Furthermore, in specific implementation, in accordance with... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first support frame 20 includes a first support member 201 and a first connector 202 whose left end is rotatably connected to the right end of the first support member 201, wherein the first connector 202 is disposed at the bottom left of the connecting seat 10.

[0105] In other words, in this application, the first support frame 20 includes two parts: the first support member 201 and the first connector 202. The first connector 202 is disposed at the bottom left of the connecting seat 10 and is preferably fixed to the bottom left of the connecting seat 10 in close contact, or it can be integrally formed with the connecting seat 10. It mainly serves as a connection and transition function. In actual application of this application, the first support member 201 is used to support the connecting seat 10.

[0106] Furthermore, in this technical solution, we continue to compare... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second support frame 30 includes a second support member 301 and a second connector 302 whose right end is rotatably connected to the left end of the second support member 301. The second connector 302 is movably disposed at the bottom right of the connecting seat 10 and is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 10 and / or the first connector 202 through the rotating shaft 40.

[0107] In other words, in this application, the second support frame 30 includes two parts: the second support member 301 and the second connector 302. The second connector 302 is movably disposed at the bottom right of the connecting seat 10, and it mainly serves as a connection transition. In actual application of this application, the second support member 301 is used to support the connecting seat 10.

[0108] In a preferred embodiment, the left end of the second connector 302 is rotatably connected to the connector 10 and / or the right end of the first connector 202 via the rotating shaft 40.

[0109] Furthermore, in specific implementation, it is still necessary to refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting seat 10 is provided with a locking fastener 101 for locking the second connecting member 302;

[0110] When the locking fastener 101 is in the unlocked state, the second connector 302 can be flipped downward and to the left to fit against the first connector 202, and the second support 301 can be flipped downward and to the left to fit against the first support 201; when the locking fastener 101 is in the locked state, the second connector 302 is fixedly attached to the bottom right of the connector 10.

[0111] Thus, by setting the locking fastener 101, even when the second connector 302 does not need to be folded, it can be locked and fixed to the right bottom of the connector 10. At this time, the first support 201 and the second support 301 can be used to rotate downwards to form a certain angle, so as to support the connector 10 for use in this application.

[0112] Preferably, in this technical solution, the reference is still made. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the right end of the first support member 201 and the left end of the first connector 202 are integrally formed, and a crease A or a folding notch A203 is provided at their connection; and the left end of the second support member 301 and the right end of the second connector 302 are integrally formed, and a crease B or a folding notch B303 is provided at their connection.

[0113] In this regard, it is clear that this application integrally forms the right end of the first support member 201 and the left end of the first connector 202, with the connection point having the crease A or folding notch A203, and integrally forms the left end of the second support member 301 and the right end of the second connector 302, with the connection point having the crease B or folding notch B303. This allows the right end of the first support member 201 to be rotatably connected to the left end of the first connector 202, and the left end of the second support member 301 to be rotatably connected to the right end of the second connector 302, without the need for two sets of rotating connectors. This makes the application more material-saving and cost-effective in actual use.

[0114] In actual use, it is only necessary to set a limiting and fixing member between the first support member 201 and the second support member to drive them to rotate downwards to form a certain angle and be kept fixed, so as to stably support the connecting seat 10 for use in this application.

[0115] Preferably, in this technical solution, the right end of the lower bottom surface of the first support member 201 and the left end of the lower bottom surface of the first connector 202 are provided with the crease A or the folding notch A203; and the left end of the lower bottom surface of the second support member 301 and the right end of the lower bottom surface of the second connector 302 are provided with the crease B or the folding notch B303.

[0116] Furthermore, based on this, according to one embodiment of the present utility model, both the folding notch A203 and the folding notch B303 are formed into an inverted V-shaped structure, that is, both are set downwards, and their bottoms are both formed into notches;

[0117] Comparison Figure 8As shown, when the first support member 201 and the second support member 301 are rotated downwards to close the folding notch A203 and the folding notch B303, the first support member 201 and the second support member 301 form a certain angle to support the connecting seat 10.

[0118] In this regard, it is clear that:

[0119] On the one hand, this application provides the folding notch A203 at the connection between the right end of the lower bottom surface of the first support member 201 and the left end of the lower bottom surface of the first connector 202. The folding notch A203 is not only used as a rotating part to realize the rotatable connection between the right end of the first support member 201 and the left end of the first connector 202, but also serves to limit the rotation of the first support member 201 when it is closed and fits against the inner wall, so that the first support member 201 will not rotate downward and to the right without restriction.

[0120] On the other hand, this application provides the folding notch B303 at the connection between the left end of the lower bottom surface of the second support member 301 and the right end of the lower bottom surface of the second connector 302. The folding notch B303 is not only used as a rotating member to realize the rotatable connection between the left end of the second support member 301 and the right end of the second connector 302, but also serves to limit the rotation of the second support member 301 when it is closed and it fits against the inner wall, so that the second support member 301 will not rotate downward and to the left without restriction.

[0121] Furthermore, the angle of rotation of the first support member 201 from the horizontal position downward and to the right is controlled based on the size of the inner apex angle of the folding notch A203, and the angle of rotation of the second support member 301 from the horizontal position downward and to the left is controlled based on the size of the inner apex angle of the folding notch B303.

[0122] In a preferred embodiment, the size of the inner apex angle of the folding notch A203 is equal to the size of the inner apex angle of the folding notch B303.

[0123] When the inner apex angles of the folding notch A203 and B303 are both 30 degrees, the first support member 201 can rotate downward and to the right by about 30 degrees from the horizontal state and is limited to not being able to continue rotating downward and to the right. The second support member 301 can rotate downward and to the left by about 30 degrees from the horizontal state and is limited to not being able to continue rotating downward and to the left. At this time, the first support member 201 and the second support member 301 form an obtuse angle of about 120 degrees, forming an "eight" shape to support the connecting seat 10.

[0124] For example, when the inner apex angles of the folding notch A203 and B303 are both 45 degrees, the first support member 201 can rotate downward and to the right by about 45 degrees from the horizontal state and is limited to not being able to continue rotating downward and to the right. The second support member 301 can rotate downward and to the left by about 45 degrees from the horizontal state and is limited to not being able to continue rotating downward and to the left. At this time, the first support member 201 and the second support member 301 form a right angle of about 90 degrees, forming an "11" shape to support the connecting seat 10.

[0125] Furthermore, in specific implementation, in accordance with... Figure 9 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, this application further includes a pulling member 50 for limiting and fixing the first support member 201 and the second support member 301 when the first support member 201 and the second support member 301 are rotated downwards to close the folding notch A203 and the folding notch B303.

[0126] The tensioning member 50 is disposed between the first support member 201 and the second support member 301.

[0127] Therefore, in comparison Figure 9 As shown, by setting the pulling member 50, when the first support member 201 and the second support member 301 are rotated downwards to close the folding notch A203 and the folding notch B303, the first support member 201 and the second support member 301 can be driven to rotate downwards to form a certain angle between them and be maintained at the corresponding angle, so as to stably support the connecting seat 10 for use in this application.

[0128] Preferably, in this technical solution, the pulling member 50 is a connecting rope or connecting cloth, so that when the first support frame 20 and the second support frame 30 are folded relative to each other, they can be folded simultaneously, making the whole structure constituted by this application extremely convenient to use.

[0129] Of course, in another technical solution, the tensioning member 50 can also be a detachable rigid connecting rod, etc., and can be selected and used according to actual needs during specific implementation.

[0130] Furthermore, it should be noted that when this application is used as a folding support 1000 for diffusers, the folding frequency is not very high, so that the crease A or the folding notch A203 provided at the connection between the right end of the lower bottom surface of the first support member 201 and the left end of the lower bottom surface of the first connector 202 is not easily broken. Similarly, the crease B or the folding notch B303 provided at the connection between the left end of the lower bottom surface of the second support member 301 and the right end of the lower bottom surface of the second connector 302 is also not easily broken, so that this application can still maintain a high service life.

[0131] Example 2

[0132] Combination Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown;

[0133] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a quick-folding softbox includes a bag-shaped cover 2000 with an upper opening 601 and a folding bracket 1000 as described in Embodiment 1 above.

[0134] The bag-shaped cover 2000 has a non-transparent sidewall and a transparent bottom. The bag-shaped cover 2000 is detachable and can be fitted with an interference fit to rotate downwards and unfold at a certain angle to the outside of the first support member 201 and the second support member 301.

[0135] Furthermore, both the first support member 201 and the second support member 301 have certain front and rear dimensions so that the bag-shaped cover 2000 can be fully expanded when it is interference-fitted to the outside. The connecting seat 10 has a through-hole 102 in the middle that penetrates its upper and lower end faces to form an installation space. The installation space is suitable for mounting the light-emitting body or for fixing a chuck used to mount the light-emitting body.

[0136] Furthermore, the tensioning element 50 is preferably made of a light-transmitting fabric.

[0137] Therefore, the light source for photography can be mounted in the mounting space formed by the opening 102, or a fixing chuck suitable for mounting the light source for photography can be fixed. The light source for photography can be mounted by the corresponding fixing chuck, and the light emission direction of the mounted / installed light source is directed toward the inside of the bag-shaped cover 2000. This application can then be used as a quick-folding softbox in this embodiment, so that the light emitted by the mounted / installed light source for photography will be very soft, in order to help to eliminate light spots and shadows on the photograph when shooting the objects to be photographed.

[0138] Meanwhile, when this application is used as a quick-folding diffuser in this embodiment, its folding principle is exactly the same as that of the folding bracket 1000 provided in this application in Embodiment 1. During operation, the locking fastener 101 is in the unlocked state, so that the second connecting member 302 is folded down and to the left to fit against the first connecting member 202. At this time, the second supporting member 301 will fold down and to the left to fit against the first supporting member 201. The pulling member 50, which is made of light-transmitting fabric, and the bag-shaped cover 2000 with the upper part forming the opening 601 will be naturally folded down simultaneously.

[0139] Thus, when this application is used as a quick-folding diffuser, it can be folded with one click when not in use. Folding it is very simple and effortless, and it is also very quick and time-saving. In particular, when this application is used as a small-sized quick-folding diffuser, it can be folded into a flat sheet structure, which can be placed directly in a suitcase, backpack or handbag for easy carrying.

[0140] It should be added that, in specific implementation, according to the folding bracket 1000 and quick-folding diffuser provided in the embodiments of this utility model, whether it is Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 above, the following should be considered: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the locking device 101 preferably includes an elastic buckle 1011 and a return spring 1012;

[0141] The connecting seat 10 has a movable cavity 103 opening to the left at the right end of its interior, and an opening 104 communicating with the movable cavity 103 is opened on the right side of the connecting seat 10. The elastic buckle 1011 and the return spring 1012 are snapped into the movable cavity 103 from right to left. The elastic buckle 1011 has a pressing head 10111 extending out of the opening 104 and a hook 10112 that bends downward and to the right. The return spring 1012 is fixed in a compressed state between the left inner wall of the movable cavity 103 and the left end of the elastic buckle 1011.

[0142] The upper right side of the second connector 302 is provided with a slot 3021 for the hook 10112 to be engaged; when the pressing head 10111 is pressed to the left so that the hook 10112 is away from the slot 3021, the second connector 302 can be flipped down and to the left along the pivot 40 to fit against the first connector 202.

[0143] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the hook 10112 is formed into a wedge-shaped guide surface 10113 inclined to the lower left. When the second connector 302 needs to be reset, so that it is close to the initial state and grips the second connector 302 and the connecting seat 10, the upper left slot of the slot 3021 will push the wedge-shaped guide surface 10113 upward, so that the reset spring 1012 is further compressed to the left. The elastic buckle 1011 is pushed and moves to the left. At the instant that the upper left slot of the slot 3021 is separated from the upper part of the wedge-shaped guide surface 10113, the reset spring 1012 will elastically reset, so as to push the hook 10112 of the elastic buckle 1011 to the right into the slot 3021. In this way, the second connector 302 is reset and it is stably fixed at the bottom right of the connecting seat 10.

[0144] Therefore, the locking fastener 101 described in this application is simple to use, and the second connector 302 is also easy to fix.

[0145] Furthermore, in specific implementations, according to the folding bracket 1000 and quick-folding diffuser provided in this utility model embodiment, whether in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the connecting seat 10, the first support frame 20, and the second support frame 30 are preferably made of plastic material to make them lightweight and have low production costs. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a reinforcing ring 105 made of metal is fixed on the bottom surface of the connecting seat 10 to increase the hardness and lifespan of the application during use. The upper surface of the connecting seat 10 is provided with a magnetic block 106 around the opening 102, which is adapted to magnetically fix the light-emitting body or the fixing chuck used to install the light-emitting body, so that the light-emitting body or the fixing chuck that needs to be fixed can be easily fixed.

[0146] At the same time, continue to compare Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the upper end of the connecting seat 10 of this application has grip grooves 107 facing each other front to back, so as to facilitate the user's grip and operation of this application. The first support member 201 has a first connecting strip 2011 arranged along the front-back direction to fix the left end of the pulling member 50 thereto, and the second support member 301 has a second connecting strip 3011 arranged along the front-back direction to fix the right end of the pulling member 50 thereto. Thus, compared to... Figure 9 As shown, this makes it convenient to fix the tensioning member 50.

[0147] Furthermore, regarding this application in Embodiment 2, compared with... Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the bag-shaped cover 2000 includes a bag body 60 made of non-transparent material, with the upper part forming the opening 601 and the lower part forming the connection opening, and also includes a bag bottom 70 made of transparent material. The periphery of the bag bottom 70 is sewn to the periphery of the connection opening to form an integral part.

[0148] Other embodiments, etc., will not be described here.

[0149] In summary, the folding bracket 1000 and quick-folding diffuser provided in this application can be folded with one click when not in use, making the folding process very simple, effortless, quick, and time-saving.

[0150] Meanwhile, the folding bracket 1000 and quick-folding diffuser provided in this application have a very simple overall structure through optimized structural design, which reduces the amount of consumables and parts, and lowers the production cost, resulting in low manufacturing cost and low operating cost.

[0151] Furthermore, the folding bracket 1000 and quick-folding diffuser provided in this application are indeed highly practical and have excellent effects, which makes this application inherently valuable for market promotion and will certainly be very popular and effectively popularized.
