Detailed Implementation

[0024] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the following embodiments does not constitute a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a shooting aid 100 is illustrated for mounting on a camera or camera cage 200 to assist in shooting. The shooting aid 100 further includes a pressing part, which can assist the camera in completing the shooting process through a simple structure and simple operation.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the pressing part includes a pressure plate 1 and a handle 3. The pressure plate 1 is installed on the camera or camera cage 200, and one end of the pressure plate 1 is spaced apart from the handle 3, so that a pressing space 5 is formed between the pressure plate 1 and the handle 3.

[0027] The pressure plate 1 is a long, flat, plate-like structure. The pressure plate 1 includes a main body 10 and a protrusion 15 extending from one side of the main body 10. The main body 10 includes a first end 11 near the handle 3 and a second end 13 opposite to the first end 11. The protrusion 15 is located between the first end 11 and the second end 13. The protrusion 15 protrudes downward perpendicularly to the main body 10 of the pressure plate 1, and its bottom is located directly above the camera shutter. The pressing space 5 is formed by the first end 11 and the top surface of the handle 3 spaced apart. The pressure plate 1 is rotatable relative to the handle 3; specifically, the first end 11 of the pressure plate 1 rotates about the second end 13. The pressure plate 1 has a pressed state, in which the user can apply a downward force to the first end 11, causing the first end 11 to move towards the pressing space 5 near the top surface of the handle 3. Because the first end 11 is pressed, the pressure plate 1 is tilted with the second end 13 higher than the first end 11, at which point the protrusion 15 is moved downward relative to the first end 11. When the shooting assistance device 100 is applied to a camera, the user can press or release the first end 11 to make the protrusion 15 contact or not contact the camera's shutter, thus completing the shooting. The pressure plate 1 can be made of an elastic material, and complete the springback reset process through its own elasticity. It can be understood that the pressure plate 1 can also be provided with an elastic structure, and complete the springback reset process by relying on the elastic force of the elastic structure.

[0028] It is understood that in other embodiments, the pressure plate 1 may include a horizontal portion arranged in the horizontal direction and a non-horizontal portion intersecting the horizontal portion, the horizontal portion bearing external force and the non-horizontal portion being used to apply force to the shutter.

[0029] It is understood that in other embodiments, the pressure plate 1 may be T-shaped, including a horizontal portion and a vertical portion perpendicular to the horizontal portion. The horizontal portion bears external force, while the vertical portion applies force to the shutter. In this embodiment, the horizontal portion corresponds to the main body of the pressure plate 1, and the vertical portion corresponds to the protrusion 15.

[0030] It is understood that in other embodiments, the pressure plate 1 has a larger area, which disperses the applied external force and avoids excessive pressing that could reduce the service life of the pressure plate 1. The pressure plate 1 is provided with anti-slip textures 111 to improve the pressing feel.

[0031] The top of the second end 13 is provided with a groove 131, which can be a groove structure having a receiving part and a limiting part. Specifically, the two sidewalls of the top of the groove 131 extend to opposite sides and are spaced apart from the bottom surface of the groove 131 to form a limiting part for installing other accessories. The groove 131 can also be a force-applying component that facilitates the application of force by the user's fingers, and the groove 131 can be circular, square, or shaped to fit the fingers. A connecting part is formed protruding from the side of the second end 13 away from the groove 131.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The assist device 100 also includes a rotating member 17, which is movably attached to the connecting portion of the second end 13 of the pressure plate 1, serving as a support and connection. The rotating member 17 includes an integrally formed base 171 and a boss 172. The base 171 and the boss 172 are stepped. The top of the boss 172 is hollowed out to form a groove and a positioning groove, which are spaced apart. Through holes are formed on the two opposite side walls of the boss 172, and these through holes communicate with the groove. The connecting portion of the pressure plate 1 is received in the groove, and the rotating shaft 173 passes through one through hole, the connecting portion, and another through hole in sequence, so that the connecting portion of the pressure plate 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 173. The rotating member 17 also includes an elastic member 174. One end of the elastic member 174 is connected to the second end 13 of the pressure plate 1, and the other end is installed in the positioning groove of the boss 172, so that the pressure plate 1 and the rotating member 17 are elastically connected. It is understood that, in the pressed state, the elastic structure of the pressure plate 1 can be an elastic element 174. In this embodiment, the elastic element 174 is a spring.

[0033] The boss 172 is a cuboid with chamfered corners. The top surface of the boss 172 includes a slope 176 and a plane 177. The slope 176 is located on the side of the boss 172 away from the handle 3 and extends downwards at an angle from one edge of the plane 177. The second end 13 is positioned horizontally, while the slope 176 slopes downwards relative to the horizontal direction, thus the second end 13 and the slope 176 are spaced apart to form a rotation space 14. The pressure plate 1 has a tilted-up state. In the tilted-up state, when the user presses the second end 13, the second end 13 of the pressure plate 1 rotates towards the side closer to the rotating member 17 and compresses the elastic member 174 until it abuts against the slope 176. At this time, the first end 11 rotates towards the side away from the rotating member 17, i.e., the first end 11 is higher than the second end 13. At this point, the protrusion 15 is moved away from the camera shutter, preventing accidental contact or interference when the camera cage 200 is installed due to the protrusion 15 being too close to the shutter, thus significantly improving installation convenience. Furthermore, a battery (not shown) and a flexible card slot 35 are provided on the handle 3. The first end 11 is raised, exposing the top of the handle 3 to the outside, allowing the user to more easily remove and replace the memory card or battery. When the user completes the operation, the second end 13 is released, and the pressure plate 1 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the elastic element 174 and gravity. In this embodiment, the inclination of the inclined surface matches the maximum rotation angle of the pressure plate 1, and this angle is adjustable according to actual needs.

[0034] The plane 177 is located on the side of the boss 172 near the handle 3 and is adjacent to the inclined surface 176. In states other than the raised state, such as the pressed state, the plane 177 provides support for the pressure plate 1. In the natural state, the pressed state, or the raised state, the first end 11 and the second end 13 are both unbalanced ends of the pressure plate 1, and the support of the plane 177 keeps the first end 11 and the second end 13 balanced.

[0035] The rotating component 17 also includes a foot pad 175 disposed at the bottom of the base 171. The foot pad 175 is made of soft material and is used to raise the height of the base 171. When the locking groove 203 of the camera or camera cage 200 is small, the foot pad 175 is squeezed and locked into the locking groove 203. Therefore, the design of the foot pad 175 allows the rotating component 17 to be adapted to different types of cameras or camera cages 200. At the same time, the foot pad 175 can cushion the pressure generated when the rotating component 17 is pressed, thereby avoiding excessive pressure that could damage the camera.

[0036] The handle 3 is typically mounted on the camera cage 200 or the side of the camera for the user to hold while shooting. The user's hand should wrap around the handle 3 and rest their fingers on the pressure plate 1. The handle 3 should be sized to fit the width of the palm. The side of the handle 3 has a positioning post 31 and a screw 33. The screw 33 is used for a fixed connection to the camera cage 200. The positioning post 31 inserts into the positioning slot 201 on the camera cage 200, which helps with quick positioning during installation. The mounting post 31 can be detached from the handle 3 and installed in other positions on the handle 3 to adapt to different types of camera cages.

[0037] This utility model provides a new structure for a shooting assistance device 100. By setting a pressing part consisting of a pressure plate 1, a handle 3 and a pressing space 5, the user can press the part that is away from the shutter and close to the hand, which will drive the part close to the shutter to move and realize the action of taking a picture. The operation is simple and convenient, greatly improving the convenience.

[0038] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
