Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of photography studio technology, and more particularly to a portable photography studio. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the e-commerce industry, the demand for small product photography has surged. Traditional photography studios are bulky and complex to set up, making it difficult to meet the portable needs of individuals or small studios. Currently, most of the mainstream portable photography solutions on the market use a single light source or a simple combination of reflectors, which cannot achieve uniform lighting from multiple angles.
[0003] There are three common solutions in existing technologies: First, using a ring light (such as a 40cm diameter LED ring light), which only provides uniform frontal light but lacks a three-dimensional effect; second, using a foldable reflector umbrella with a single point light source (such as a 150W LED light), which can achieve multi-angle reflection but has low lighting efficiency; and third, using a modular softbox system (such as a 60×60cm softbox kit), which requires additional support for assembly and occupies a large space. The first solution has a limited lighting angle, the second solution suffers from severe light intensity attenuation, and the third solution is not portable and takes a long time to set up.
[0004] Therefore, ring lights have the problem of insufficient lighting at the top and bottom; reflector umbrella solutions require frequent angle adjustments and have a light utilization rate of less than 30%; and modular softboxes have an average setup time of more than 15 minutes and a volume greater than 0.2m³ after being stored.
[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a portable photography studio. Utility Model Content
[0006] This application proposes a portable photography studio to address the problems mentioned in the background art. Three lighting groups emit light from angles of 120° from the top, 90° from the side, and 60° from the bottom, respectively. After diffuse reflection through the inner layer of the studio fabric, a uniform spherical light field is formed. This allows the lighting to be applied from all around the subject, resulting in more uniform lighting and achieving three-dimensional lighting. The illuminance difference in each direction is controlled within ±15%. The overall storage volume is ≤0.08m³, and the setup time is <3 minutes. Through the coordinated operation of multiple lighting groups, the shadow transition of the subject is natural. Actual measurements show a 40% improvement in shadow edge blur. This solves the technical contradiction that existing portable photography equipment cannot simultaneously achieve uniform lighting from multiple directions, rapid setup, and compact storage, greatly improving the practicality of the device.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A portable photography studio includes a frame assembly, a canvas assembly, a lighting device assembly, and an adjustment mechanism. The frame assembly includes a telescopic main support and four auxiliary legs. The main support adopts a three-section aluminum alloy sleeve structure. Each of the auxiliary legs is connected to the main support via a hinge. The canvas assembly is detachably connected to the outside of the frame assembly. The lighting device assembly is installed inside the photography studio.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the lighting device assembly includes a top lighting group one, a side lighting group two, a bottom lighting group three, and LED beads, each group containing six LED beads with a spacing of ten centimeters between the beads;
[0010] The device emits light from three groups of lights at angles of 120° from the top, 90° from the side, and 60° from the bottom. After diffuse reflection by the inner layer of the canopy, a uniform spherical light field is formed. The LED beads are independently controlled by a parallel circuit, allowing individual adjustment of the brightness of each group, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0011] In one preferred embodiment, the top lighting group one is installed at the top of the shed, the two side lighting groups two are installed on the two sides of the shed respectively, and the bottom lighting group three is installed at the bottom of the shed.
[0012] The lighting device allows the lighting lamps to illuminate the subject from all around, resulting in more uniform lighting and achieving three-dimensional lighting, thus enhancing the device's practicality.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a telescopic bracket and a rotary motor. The telescopic bracket is composed of a fixed plate and L-shaped rods. The two L-shaped rods are slidably connected inside the fixed plate, and the top ends of the two L-shaped rods are fixedly connected to the main bracket.
[0014] By adding an adjustment mechanism to the top of the scaffold, the lighting unit can be adjusted by ±30°, which is suitable for scenes that require emphasizing the top contour light, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0015] In one preferred embodiment, a rotary motor is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate, and the output end of the rotary motor is connected to a top lighting lamp assembly.
[0016] By setting an adjustment mechanism, a rotating motor can be started. The rotating motor drives the top lighting group to adjust the supplementary lighting angle through the output shaft, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the canopy assembly includes a light-transmitting Oxford cloth and Velcro, wherein the light-transmitting Oxford cloth is a double-layered light-transmitting Oxford cloth, comprising an inner layer and an outer layer;
[0018] The practicality of the device is improved by using double-layered translucent Oxford cloth and wrapping the seams of the canopy with 3mm wide reflective strips.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the translucent Oxford cloth is fixed to the outside of the frame by Velcro, which includes a hook side and a loop side, wherein the hook side is fixed to the outside of the main support and the loop side is fixed to the inner layer of the translucent Oxford cloth.
[0020] The tent is extended to its maximum height, and then the Velcro lining of the tent fabric is aligned with the adhesive surface of the bracket and pressed to secure it. The operation is simple, allowing the photography studio to be quickly assembled in a short time, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0022] 1. This portable photography studio features three lighting units that emit light from the top (120°), sides (90°), and bottom (60°) respectively. After diffuse reflection through the inner layer of the studio fabric, a uniform spherical light field is formed. This allows the lighting to be applied from all around the subject, resulting in more uniform lighting and achieving three-dimensional lighting. The illuminance difference in each direction is controlled within ±15%. The overall storage volume is ≤0.08m³, and the setup time is <3 minutes. Through the coordinated work of multiple lighting units, the shadow transition of the subject is natural. Actual measurements show that the blurring of shadow edges is improved by 40%. This solves the technical contradiction that existing portable photography equipment cannot simultaneously achieve uniform lighting from multiple directions, rapid setup, and compact storage, greatly improving the practicality of the device.
[0023] 2. This portable photography studio, by adding an adjustment mechanism to the top of the frame, allows the lighting unit to be adjusted by ±30°, making it suitable for scenes that require emphasizing top contour lighting, thus greatly improving the practicality of the device.

The frame assembly 1 includes a telescopic main support 11 and four auxiliary legs 12. The main support 11 adopts a three-section aluminum alloy sleeve structure 111. Each auxiliary leg 12 is connected to the main support 11 via a hinge. The canvas assembly 2 is detachably connected to the outside of the frame assembly 1. The lighting device assembly 3 is installed inside the photography studio.
[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 The lighting device assembly 3 includes a top lighting group 31, a side lighting group 32, a bottom lighting group 33, and LED beads 34. Each group contains six LED beads 34, with a spacing of ten centimeters between the beads. Light is emitted from the three lighting groups at angles of 120° from the top, 90° from the side, and 60° from the bottom, respectively. After diffuse reflection by the inner layer 211 of the canopy, a uniform spherical light field is formed. The LED beads 34 are independently controlled by a parallel circuit, allowing individual adjustment of the brightness of each group, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0032] Reference Figure 2-3 The top lighting group 31 is installed at the top of the studio, the two side lighting groups 32 are installed on the two sides of the studio respectively, and the bottom lighting group 33 is installed at the bottom of the studio. Through the lighting device component 3, the lighting can be applied from all around the subject, so as to make the lighting on the subject more uniform and achieve three-dimensional lighting, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0033] Reference Figure 2-4The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a telescopic bracket 41 and a rotary motor 42. The telescopic bracket 41 is composed of a fixed plate 411 and an L-shaped rod 412. The two L-shaped rods 412 are slidably connected inside the fixed plate 411, and the top ends of the two L-shaped rods 412 are fixedly connected to the main bracket 11. By adding the adjustment mechanism 4 to the top of the scaffold, the lighting group can be adjusted by ±30°, which is suitable for scenes that need to emphasize the top contour light, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0034] Reference Figure 2-3 A rotary motor 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 411, and the output end of the rotary motor 42 is connected to the top lighting group 31. By setting the adjustment mechanism 4, the rotary motor 42 can be started. The rotary motor 42 drives the top lighting group 31 to adjust the supplementary lighting angle through the output shaft, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0035] Reference Figure 1-4 The canopy assembly 2 includes a light-transmitting Oxford cloth 21 and Velcro 22. The light-transmitting Oxford cloth 21 is a double-layer light-transmitting Oxford cloth 21, including an inner layer 211 and an outer layer 212. By setting the double-layer light-transmitting Oxford cloth 21, the seams of the canopy are edged with a 3mm wide reflective strip, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0036] Reference Figure 1-4 The translucent Oxford cloth 21 is fixed to the outside of the frame by Velcro 22, which includes a hook side and a loop side. The hook side is fixed to the outside of the main support 11, and the loop side is fixed to the inner layer 211 of the translucent Oxford cloth 21. The frame is unfolded to its maximum height, and then the Velcro 22 of the inner lining of the frame is aligned with the adhesive surface of the frame and pressed to fix it. The operation is simple, which allows the photography studio to be quickly assembled in a short time, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

Move the four auxiliary legs 12 to the horizontal position and extend the canopy to its maximum height. Align the Velcro 22 of the canopy lining with the adhesive surface of the support and press it to secure it. Turn on the power switches of the top, side, and bottom light groups in sequence. Adjust the brightness of each group using the knobs. The three light groups emit light from the top (120°), side (90°), and bottom (60°) angles respectively. After diffuse reflection by the inner layer 211 of the canopy, a uniform spherical light field is formed. The LED beads 34 are independently controlled through a parallel circuit, allowing individual adjustment of the brightness of each group. An adjustment mechanism is added to the top of the canopy. 4. The lighting unit can be adjusted by ±30°, which is suitable for scenes that require emphasizing the top contour light. It allows the lighting to be applied from all around the subject, resulting in more uniform lighting and achieving three-dimensional lighting. The difference in illuminance in each direction is controlled within ±15%. The overall storage volume is ≤0.08m³, and the unfolding time is <3 minutes. Through the coordinated work of multiple light units, the shadow transition of the subject is natural. Actual tests show that the blurring of shadow edges is improved by 40%. It solves the technical contradiction that existing portable photography equipment cannot simultaneously achieve multi-directional uniform lighting, rapid setup, and compact storage.
