Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of equipment assembly component technology, specifically to a quick-release component and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] For electronic devices with multiple components, such as camera equipment and handheld surveying equipment, the various functions of the electronic device are mainly realized through the assembly of different components. Taking camera equipment as an example, if the camera equipment is used for fixed shooting, the camera can be fixedly mounted on a tripod, cantilever, or other fixed support. If the camera equipment needs to be used for mobile shooting, it needs to be mounted on a handheld stabilizer, slider, or jib arm.

[0003] Currently, assemblies are mainly connected using threaded connections and magnetic connections. However, threaded connections are not only cumbersome to operate, but may also require tools during assembly or disassembly. While magnetic connections are convenient to operate, the magnets are expensive and the connection structure has poor stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a quick-release component and electronic device to solve the problems of cumbersome assembly operations or poor stability of connection structures in existing components.

[0006] In one alternative embodiment, a snap-fit ​​protrusion is provided on the outer peripheral sidewall of the end of the connecting block opposite to the second connecting seat. The locking member is used to snap into the snap-fit ​​protrusion when the connecting block is inserted into the connecting hole, so as to lock and fix the connecting block.

[0007] In one alternative embodiment, the connecting block is used to be inserted into the connecting hole in a first direction; the snap-fit ​​protrusion has a first inclined surface, and the locking member has a second inclined surface; the second inclined surface is used to frictionally engage with the first inclined surface when the connecting block is inserted into the connecting hole, and under the action of the elastic force provided by the elastic member, to provide a second force to the first inclined surface, so that the connecting block tends to move relative to the first connecting seat in the first direction.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the unlocking member includes a pressing part and an unlocking part fixedly connected. The unlocking part is slidably disposed on a first connecting seat and is kinetically connected to the locking member. The pressing part is exposed outside the first connecting seat. The unlocking part is used to slide relative to the first connecting seat and provide a first force to the locking member when the pressing part is pressed.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the locking member has a third inclined surface; the unlocking part has a fourth inclined surface that frictionally engages with the third inclined surface, the fourth inclined surface being used to provide a first force to the locking member through the fourth inclined surface when the pressing part is pressed.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, a locking member is disposed on the edge of the connecting hole along the second direction, and an elastic member is used to provide elastic force to the locking member along the second direction toward the connecting hole, so that the locking member clamps the connecting block inserted in the connecting hole; a guide plate is disposed on at least one edge of the connecting hole along the third direction, the guide plate extends along the third direction and is perpendicular to the second direction, and a guide groove is provided on the unlocking part along the third direction, the guide groove being slidably sleeved on the guide plate.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the first connecting seat has a limiting groove on the side of the guide plate opposite to the locking member in the second direction. The guide plate forms one side wall of the limiting groove. The limiting groove has a limiting side wall on the side opposite to the connecting hole in the third direction. A notch is provided between the limiting side wall and the guide plate. The unlocking part has a limiting block that extends into the limiting groove from the notch and slides with the limiting groove. A protrusion is provided on the side of the limiting block facing the limiting side wall in the second direction. The protrusion is used to abut against the limiting side wall to limit the maximum travel of the limiting block sliding in the third direction towards the side opposite to the connecting hole.

[0015] In the quick-release assembly provided in this application embodiment, the elastic element on the first connecting seat provides a sliding force to the locking member towards the connecting hole. This allows the locking member to automatically clamp the connecting block in the connecting hole under the action of the elastic force after the connecting block on the second connecting seat is inserted into it, thus achieving rapid assembly and fixation between the first assembly connected to the first connecting seat and the second assembly connected to the second connecting seat. Furthermore, by providing an unlocking element to provide a first force away from the connecting hole to the locking member, only a force needs to be applied to the unlocking element to move it, allowing the locking member to separate from the connecting block under the action of the first force, thereby enabling rapid disassembly and separation of the first and second assemblies. The assembly and disassembly of the assemblies are simple and convenient, and the elastic force of the elastic element can stably clamp and fix the connecting block in the connecting hole.

[0034] The embodiments of the technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0036] In the description of the embodiments of this application, technical terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0037] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0038] In the description of the embodiments in this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A exists, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists. In addition, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the related objects before and after it have an "or" relationship.

[0039] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more (including two), similarly, "multiple sets" refers to two or more (including two sets), and "multiple pieces" refers to two or more (including two pieces).

[0040] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the technical terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.

[0041] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] Currently, detachable connections between multiple assemblies are mainly achieved through threaded connections and magnetic connections. In threaded connections, assemblies are secured with screws or knobs. For example, when assembling assemblies, screws are passed through corresponding connecting holes on two assemblies and tightened to secure them. To disassemble assemblies, the screws must be loosened and removed from the connecting holes to separate the two assemblies. In threaded connections, the assembly and disassembly process is not only cumbersome, but also typically requires tools such as screwdrivers to tighten or loosen the screws.

[0043] Magnetic structures primarily connect components through magnetic attraction. Magnets are positioned at corresponding locations on the components; during assembly, the magnets on two components are brought together and attracted to each other for quick connection. Disassembly is achieved by separating the magnets. While magnetic structures offer convenient assembly and disassembly, the magnets are expensive, and the connection between components relies solely on the attraction of their magnets, making them susceptible to separation under external impact.

[0044] Based on this, this application provides a quick-release assembly, which includes two connecting seats, each of which is fixedly connected to two components. One connecting seat (i.e., the first connecting seat) is provided with a connecting block, and the other connecting seat (i.e., the second connecting seat) is provided with a connecting hole. By inserting the connecting block into the connecting hole, a quick connection between the two components can be achieved.

[0045] Specifically, a locking element is slidably provided on the second connecting seat, and an elastic element abuts between the locking element and the second connecting seat. The elastic element is used to provide the locking element with the elastic force to lock and fix the connecting block. After the connecting block is inserted into the connecting hole, the locking element will automatically clamp the connecting block in the connecting hole under the elastic force of the elastic element, so that the two assemblies are fixedly connected together. This is not only convenient to operate, but also the elastic force of the elastic element can stably clamp and fix the connecting block in the connecting hole.

[0046] In addition, to facilitate the disassembly of the two components, an unlocking component is movably mounted on the second connecting seat. This unlocking component is connected to the locking component and provides a force to the locking component to release the clamping force on the connecting block. When disassembling the two components, simply apply force to the unlocking component to move it. This will provide a force to the locking component away from the connecting hole, causing the locking component to slide away from the connecting hole and separate from the connecting block. At this point, pulling the connecting block out of the connecting hole allows for quick disassembly and separation of the two components.

[0047] The quick-release assembly provided in this application can be used not only for connecting camera equipment to tripods, handheld stabilizers, and other supports, but also for connecting surveying equipment, testing instruments, gimbals, and other machines to supports, handles, and other accessories. Furthermore, the quick-release assembly can also be used for accessories requiring rapid detachable connections, such as connecting batteries, external microphones, and other devices to the main body of the equipment.

[0048] Please refer to the following first. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The three-dimensional structure of the quick-release assembly is shown. Figure 2 An exploded view of the quick-release assembly is shown. The quick-release assembly 1 includes a first connecting seat 100 and a second connecting seat 200. The first connecting seat 100 is used for fixed connection with a first assembly (not shown), and the second connecting seat 200 is used for fixed connection with a second assembly (not shown).

[0049] Please refer to further information. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Partial structures of the quick-release assembly in two states are shown respectively. A first connecting seat 100 has a connecting hole 110, and a second connecting seat 200 has a connecting block 210, which is inserted into the connecting hole 110. A locking member 120 is slidably disposed on the first connecting seat 100, and an elastic member 130 abuts against the locking member 120 and the first connecting seat 100. The elastic member 130 is used to provide the locking member 120 with a side facing the connecting hole 110 (i.e.,...). Figure 3 The elastic force that slides to the right from the perspective of the viewpoint.

[0050] Combined Figure 5 , Figure 5 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of one state of the quick-release assembly. The locking member 120 is used to clamp the connecting block 210 in the connecting hole 110 under the elastic force of the elastic member 130 after the connecting block 210 is inserted into the connecting hole 110, so as to fix the first assembly and the second assembly in place.

[0051] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and combined Figure 6 , Figure 6 The cross-sectional structure of another state of the quick-release assembly is shown. The first connecting seat 100 is movably provided with an unlocking member 140. The unlocking member 140 is connected to the locking member 120. When in motion, the unlocking member 140 provides a first force to the locking member 120 in a direction away from the connecting hole 110, so that the locking member 120 slides relative to the first connecting seat 100 and releases the clamping of the connecting block 210, thereby making the first assembly and the second assembly detachable.

[0052] The first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200 are the main parts of the quick-release assembly 1. They are used to fix and connect to the two assemblies (i.e., the first assembly and the second assembly), respectively. When assembling the first assembly and the second assembly, it is only necessary to connect the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200 to complete the assembly of the first assembly and the second assembly. The first assembly and the second assembly can be the main body and accessories of the electronic device, respectively. Taking a camera device as an example, the first assembly and the second assembly can be the camera and the bracket for fixing the camera (e.g., tripod, handheld stabilizer, etc.); or they can be the main body and external components of the electronic device, respectively. Taking a camera device as an example, the first assembly and the second assembly can be the camera and the external microphone, respectively.

[0053] The connecting hole 110 on the first connecting seat 100 and the connecting block 210 on the second connecting seat 200 are the main components that connect the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200. Specifically, taking a camera and a tripod as examples, such as... Figure 1 As shown, if the first connecting seat 100 is fixedly connected to the camera and the second connecting seat 200 is fixedly connected to the tripod, then when assembling the camera and tripod, the camera and the first connecting seat 100 are fitted onto the second connecting seat 200 along the negative Z-axis direction. That is, the first connecting seat 100 is fitted onto the connecting block 210 through the connecting hole 110 on it. At this time, the connecting block 210 will be inserted into the connecting hole 110. The state after the quick-release assembly 1 is connected is as follows. Figure 1 As shown, the tripod is located below the quick-release assembly 1, and the camera is located above it. If the first connecting seat 100 is fixedly connected to the tripod, and the second connecting seat 200 is fixedly connected to the camera, then when assembling the camera and tripod, the camera and the second connecting seat 200 are inserted into the first connecting seat 100 along the positive Z-axis direction, that is, the connecting block 210 is inserted into the connecting hole 110. The state after the quick-release assembly 1 is connected is that... Figure 1 The structure shown is inverted.

[0054] Locking member 120 and elastic member 130 are the main structures for fixing the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200 together. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking member 120 can be disposed at the edge position on one side of the connecting hole 110, and when the connecting block 210 is not inserted into the connecting hole 110, part of the structure of the locking member 120 extends to the opening of the connecting hole 110. An abutment wall 150 can be fixedly disposed on the first connecting seat 100 at a position on the side of the locking member 120 away from the connecting hole 110, and an elastic member 130 abuts between the locking member 120 and the abutment wall 150. The elastic member 130 can be a spring, a sheet, or other components.

[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when the connecting block 210 is inserted into the connecting hole 110, the locking member 120 first slides away from the connecting hole 110 under the force of the connecting block 210 and compresses the elastic member 130, that is, the locking member 120 moves away from the connecting hole 110. Figure 3 The elastic element 130 slides and compresses in the negative X-axis direction. When the connecting block 210 is inserted into place, the locking element 120 clamps and fixes the connecting block 210 under the elastic force of the elastic element 130. That is, the elastic element 130 applies force towards the locking element 120. Figure 3 The elastic force in the positive X-axis direction causes the locking member 120 to press the connecting block 210 in the positive X-axis direction, thereby clamping and fixing the connecting block 210 through the side wall of the locking member 120 and the connecting hole 110.

[0056] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the connection between the locking member 120 and the connecting block 210, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the outer peripheral sidewall of the connecting block 210 opposite to the second connecting seat 200 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 211. The locking member 120 is used to snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 211 when the connecting block 210 is inserted into the connecting hole 110, so as to lock and fix the connecting block 210.

[0057] During the insertion of the connecting block 210 into the connecting hole 110 along the positive Z-axis, the locking protrusion 211 applies a force to the locking member 120 in the negative X-axis direction, causing the locking member 120 to first slide in the negative X-axis direction and compress the elastic member 130. When the connecting block 210 is inserted into the connecting hole 110 along the positive Z-axis direction, the locking protrusion 211 applies a force to the locking member 120 in the negative X-axis direction, causing the locking member 120 to first slide in the negative X-axis direction and compress the elastic member 130. Figure 5 When the locking protrusion 211 is positioned above the locking member 120, the locking member 120 will slide a short distance in the positive X-axis direction under the elastic force of the elastic member 130, so that part of the structure of the locking member 120 is located between the locking protrusion 211 and the first connecting seat 100, thereby locking and fixing the connecting block 210.

[0058] By setting the snap-fit ​​protrusion 211, the connecting block 210 can be fixed by snapping the snap-fit ​​protrusion 211 with the locking member 120. In this way, the movement of the connecting block 210 along the Z-axis direction can be restricted by the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the locking member 120 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 211, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200.

[0059] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the connection between the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the connecting block 210 is inserted into the connecting hole 110 in the first direction (i.e., the positive Z-axis direction). The snap-fit ​​protrusion 211 has a first inclined surface 31, and the locking member 120 has a second inclined surface 32. The second inclined surface 32 is used to frictionally engage with the first inclined surface 31 when the connecting block 210 is inserted into the connecting hole 110, and under the action of the elastic force provided by the elastic member 130, it provides a second force to the first inclined surface 31, so that the connecting block 210 tends to move relative to the first connecting seat 100 in the first direction (i.e., the positive Z-axis direction).

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, after the connecting block 210 is inserted into place, the locking member 120, under the elastic force of the elastic member 130, applies a force towards the positive X-axis direction to the connecting block 210. Because the locking member 120 and the first inclined surface 31 are engaged through frictional contact via the second inclined surface 32, the second inclined surface 32 will provide a force towards the first inclined surface 31 along... Figure 5 The second force, indicated by the dashed arrow, has a component along the positive Z-axis. Therefore, under the action of this component force, the connecting block 210 will move to its limit position in the positive Z-axis direction. That is, the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200 have virtually no room for movement in the direction indicated by the Z-axis. Furthermore, this component force will cause the connecting block 210 to always tend to move relative to the first connecting seat 100 in the positive Z-axis direction. This can effectively improve the stability of the connection between the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200.

[0061] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the first connecting seat 100 structure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,and Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting seat 100 has an installation groove 160. At least part of the structure of the unlocking member 140, the locking member 120 and the elastic member 130 are all disposed in the installation groove 160. The groove opening of the installation groove 160 is covered by a cover plate 170.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, when the locking member 120 is subjected to a force in the negative X-axis direction, it will slide in the negative X-axis direction and compress the elastic member 130. At this time, both the locking member 120 and the elastic member 130 are located between the cover plate 170 and the bottom of the mounting groove 160. The cover plate 170 and the mounting groove 160 can restrict the movement of the locking member 120 and the elastic member 130 in the Z-axis direction. No matter how far the locking member 120 moves in the negative X-axis direction, the locking member 120 is always located in the mounting groove 160, and the elastic member 130 is always abutted between the locking member 120 and the abutment wall 150, effectively preventing the locking member 120 and the elastic member 130 from disengaging from the first connecting seat 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure of the first connecting seat 100.

[0063] The unlocking component 140 is used to release the clamping component 120 from the connecting block 210. The transmission between the unlocking component 140 and the locking component 120 can be achieved through methods such as inclined plane engagement or gear and rack transmission. Specifically, for example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the unlocking member 140 includes a pressing part 141 and an unlocking part 142 that are fixedly connected. The unlocking part 142 is slidably disposed on the first connecting seat 100 and is pulsatorically connected to the locking member 120. The pressing part 141 is exposed outside the first connecting seat 100. The unlocking part 142 is used to slide relative to the first connecting seat 100 and provide a first force to the locking member 120 when the pressing part 141 is pressed.

[0064] The pressing part 141 can be a button, slider, or other structure. By applying pressure to the pressing part 141, the unlocking part 142 slides relative to the first connecting seat 100, and provides a first force to the locking member 120. Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 120 has a third inclined surface 33, and the unlocking part 142 has a fourth inclined surface 34 that is in frictional engagement with the third inclined surface 33. The fourth inclined surface 34 is used to provide a first force to the locking member 120 when the pressing part 141 is pressed.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, taking the unlocking member 140 located above the connecting hole 110 as an example, when the pressing part 141 is pressed, the unlocking part 142 will be subjected to a force in the negative Y-axis direction and slide in the negative Y-axis direction. At this time, the fourth inclined surface 34 will apply a force to the third inclined surface 33 as follows: Figure 3 The force, indicated by the dashed arrow, has a component in the negative X-axis direction (i.e., the first force). Under the action of this first force, the locking member 120 slides in the negative X-axis direction and separates from the connecting block 210. That is, the locking member 120 and the unlocking member 140 will... Figure 3 The state shown has changed to Figure 4 As shown, the state between the locking member 120 and the connecting block 210 also changes from... Figure 5 The state shown has changed to Figure 6 The state shown.

[0066] Of course, in addition to unlocking part 142, Figure 3 The device can be slidably positioned along the Y-axis, but it can also be slidably positioned along other directions, and the positions of the third inclined surface 33 and the fourth inclined surface 34 can be adjusted accordingly. As an example, the unlocking unit 142 can also be configured as follows... Figure 7As shown, it slides along the Z-axis. A force is applied to the unlocking part 142 in the negative Z-axis direction by the pressing part 141, causing the unlocking part 142 to slide in the negative Z-axis direction. A force is also applied to the third inclined surface 33 via the fourth inclined surface 34 along the Z-axis direction. Figure 7 The force acting in the direction indicated by the dashed arrow will generate a component force (i.e., the first force) in the negative X-axis direction, causing the locking member 120 to slide in the negative X-axis direction and separate from the connecting block, thus changing the state between the locking member 120 and the connecting block 210 from... Figure 5 The state shown has changed to Figure 6 The state shown.

[0067] In this structure, the first force can be provided to the locking member 120 when the pressing part 141 is pressed by frictional engagement of the third inclined surface 33 and the fourth inclined surface 34, thereby separating the locking member 120 and the connecting block 210. The structure is simple and the processing of the inclined surfaces is simple.

[0068] Furthermore, the unlocking part 142 and the locking part 120 can also achieve transmission through the cooperation of rack and pinion, specifically, as shown in... Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 Another transmission structure between the unlocking part 142 and the locking part 120 is shown. The unlocking part 142 and the locking part 120 are connected by a gear 180 (the figure is a simplified structural diagram, so the rack on the outer periphery of the gear 180 is not shown). When the pressing part 141 is pressed, a force is provided to the unlocking part 142 in the negative Y-axis direction, causing the unlocking part 142 to slide in the negative Y-axis direction. At this time, the gear 180 will rotate in the clockwise direction and drive the locking part 120 to slide in the negative X-axis direction, thereby separating the locking part 120 from the connecting block 210.

[0069] In this structure, by applying pressure to the pressing part 141 exposed on the first connecting seat 100, the first force can be provided to the locking member 120 through the unlocking part 142, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0070] Of course, the unlocking member 140 can also be a gear that is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 100, and the unlocking member 140 meshes with the locking member 120. By rotating the unlocking member 140, the locking member 120 is driven to slide away from the connecting hole 110, so that the locking member 120 and the connecting block 210 are separated.

[0071] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when assembling the first assembly and the second assembly, the connecting block 210 on the second connecting seat 200 is inserted into the connecting hole 110 on the first connecting seat 100. When the connecting block 210 is inserted into place, the locking member 120 on the first connecting seat 100 can automatically clamp the connecting block 210 under the elastic force provided by the elastic member 130, so that the first assembly and the second assembly are fixedly connected.

[0072] When it is necessary to disassemble the first and second assemblies, simply apply force to the unlocking member 140 on the first connecting seat 100 to move the unlocking member 140. This allows the unlocking member 140 to provide a first force in the negative X-axis direction to the locking member 120, causing the locking member 120 to slide in the negative X-axis direction and separate from the connecting block 210. Figure 6 As shown, at this time, as long as the first connecting seat 100 is moved along the positive direction of the Z-axis, or the second connecting seat 200 is moved along the negative direction of the Z-axis, the connecting block 210 can be pulled out from the connecting hole 110, thereby disassembling and separating the first assembly and the second assembly.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the elastic element 130 on the first connecting seat 100 provides a sliding force to the locking element 120 towards the connecting hole 110. This allows the locking element 120 to automatically clamp the connecting block 210 into the connecting hole 110 under the action of the elastic force after the connecting block 210 is inserted into it, thus achieving rapid assembly and fixation between the first and second assemblies. Furthermore, by providing a first force to the locking element 120 in a direction away from the connecting hole 110 through the unlocking element 140, only a force needs to be applied to the unlocking element 140 to move it, allowing the locking element 120 to separate from the connecting block 210 under the action of the first force, thereby enabling rapid disassembly and separation of the first and second assemblies. The assembly and disassembly of the assemblies are simple and convenient, and the elastic force of the elastic element 130 can stably clamp and fix the connecting block 210 in the connecting hole 110.

[0074] Furthermore, in order to limit the sliding direction of the unlocking part 142, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the locking member 120 is disposed on the edge of the connecting hole 110 along the second direction (i.e., the direction shown by the X-axis in the figure). The elastic member 130 is used to provide elastic force to the locking member 120 along the second direction toward the connecting hole 110, so that the locking member 120 clamps the connecting block 210 inserted in the connecting hole 110. A guide plate 191 is disposed on at least one edge of the connecting hole 110 along a third direction (i.e., along the direction shown by the Y-axis). The guide plate 191 extends along the third direction and is perpendicular to the second direction. A guide groove 1421 is provided on the unlocking part 142 along the third direction. The guide groove 1421 is slidably sleeved on the guide plate 191.

[0075] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, from the perspective of the figure, the locking member 120 is located on the left edge of the connecting hole 110 (i.e., the side of the connecting hole 110 facing the negative X-axis direction), and the elastic member 130 is located on the left side of the locking member 120 and is used to provide elastic force in the positive X-axis direction to the locking member 120 so that the locking member 120 clamps the connecting block 210 inserted in the connecting hole 110. A guide plate 191 extending in the direction shown in the Y-axis is provided on the connecting hole 110, and a guide groove 1421 is provided in the direction shown in the Y-axis on the unlocking part 142. After the guide groove 1421 is sleeved on the guide plate 191, during the sliding process of the unlocking part 142, the inner sidewalls of the guide groove 1421 on both sides in the direction shown in the X-axis direction will abut against the guide plate 191, so that the unlocking part 142 cannot slide in the direction shown in the X-axis direction, thus the unlocking part 142 can only slide in the direction shown in the Y-axis direction.

[0076] exist Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the specific embodiment shown, two unlocking components 140 are provided. These two unlocking components 140 are respectively located above (i.e., on the side of the connecting hole 110 facing the positive Y-axis) and below (i.e., on the side of the connecting hole 110 facing the negative Y-axis). Correspondingly, guide plates 191 are also provided on the upper and lower edges of the connecting hole 110. Of course, only one unlocking component 140 can be provided, specifically above or below the connecting hole 110, depending on the number and position of the guide plates 191.

[0077] In the above embodiment, by providing a sliding guide plate 191 and a guide groove 1421, the sliding direction of the unlocking part 142 can be restricted, thus preventing the unlocking part 142 from deviating during sliding.

[0078] Furthermore, to prevent the unlocking component 140 from slipping off the first connecting seat 100, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first connecting seat 100 has a limiting groove 192 on the side of the guide plate 191 facing away from the locking member 120 along the second direction (i.e., the direction shown by the X-axis in the figure). The guide plate 191 forms one side wall of the limiting groove 192. The limiting groove 192 has a limiting side wall 193 on the side facing away from the connecting hole 110 along the third direction (i.e., the direction shown by the Y-axis in the figure). A notch 194 is provided between the limiting side wall 193 and the guide plate 191. The unlocking part 142 has a limiting block 1422 that extends into the limiting groove 192 from the notch 194 and slides with the limiting groove 192. A protrusion 1423 is provided on the side of the limiting block 1422 facing the limiting side wall 193 along the second direction. The protrusion 1423 is used to abut against the limiting side wall 193 to limit the maximum travel of the limiting block 1422 sliding in the third direction towards the side facing away from the connecting hole 110.

[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the unlocking member 140 located below the connecting hole 110 will be described. A limiting groove 192 is provided on the right side of the guide plate 191 (i.e., the side of the guide plate 191 facing away from the locking member 120 in the second direction), and the guide plate 191 forms the left sidewall of the limiting groove 192. The limiting groove 192 has a limiting sidewall 193 on the side facing the negative Y-axis direction. The limiting block 1422 extends into the limiting groove 192 through the notch 194 between the guide plate 191 and the limiting sidewall 193, and the limiting block 1422 has a protrusion 1423 on the side facing the positive X-axis direction.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, when assembling the first connecting seat 100, the unlocking part 142 is moved along the negative Z-axis and placed on the first connecting seat 100. Simultaneously, the guide groove 1421 is fitted onto the guide plate 191, and the limiting block 1422 also extends from the notch 194 into the limiting groove 192. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the unlocking part 142 located below the connecting hole 110 slides along the negative Y-axis, the protrusion 1423 will abut against the limiting sidewall 193, so that the unlocking part 142 cannot continue to slide along the negative Y-axis, effectively preventing the unlocking part 142 from disengaging from the first connecting seat 100.

[0081] In the above embodiments, not only can the maximum sliding stroke of the limiting block 1422 along the Y-axis direction be limited by the protrusion 1423 and the limiting sidewall 193 to prevent the unlocking part 142 from detaching from the first connecting seat 100, but the limiting of the unlocking part 142 is also achieved by the groove and the protrusion. During assembly, it is only necessary to place the unlocking part 142 on the first connecting seat 100 so that the limiting block 1422 extends from the notch 194 into the limiting groove 192. The sliding stroke of the unlocking part 142 can be limited by the protrusion 1423 and the limiting sidewall 193. The assembly process is simple, easy to operate, and has few parts.

[0082] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the locking element 120 is subjected to balanced forces, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 120 is disposed on the edge of the connecting hole 110 along the second direction (i.e., the direction shown by the X-axis in the figure). The unlocking member 140 includes at least two members, which are disposed opposite each other on the edges of the connecting hole 110 along a third direction (i.e., the direction shown by the Y-axis in the figure), the third direction being perpendicular to the second direction. The unlocking members 140 on both sides are respectively connected to the two ends of the locking member 120 along the third direction, and the unlocking members 140 on both sides provide a first force to both ends of the locking member 120 during movement.

[0083] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 120 is located on the left side of the connecting hole 110 (i.e., the side of the connecting hole 110 facing the negative X-axis). At least two unlocking members 140 are respectively disposed above the connecting hole 110 (i.e., the side of the connecting hole 110 facing the positive Y-axis) and below the connecting hole 110 (i.e., the side of the connecting hole 110 facing the negative Y-axis), and are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the locking member 120. When the receiving members located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting hole 110 move, they simultaneously provide a first force in the negative X-axis direction to the upper and lower ends of the locking member 120, so that the upper and lower ends of the locking member 120 can be balanced by force, ensuring that both the upper and lower ends of the locking member 120 can slide in the negative X-axis direction under the action of the first force and separate from the connecting block 210, thereby ensuring that the locking member 120 completely releases its clamping of the connecting block 210.

[0084] Of course, the locking member 120 can be located on the right side of the connecting hole 110 (i.e., the side of the connecting hole 110 facing the positive X-axis), and the unlocking member 140 provides a first force to the locking member 120 in the positive X-axis direction during movement, causing the locking member 120 to slide in the positive X-axis direction and separate from the connecting block 210. Alternatively, the locking member 120 can be located above or below the connecting hole 110, and at least two unlocking members 140 can be located on the left and right sides of the connecting hole 110.

[0085] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, an electronic device is also provided. The electronic device includes a device body, a mounting base, and a quick-release assembly 1 as described in any of the above embodiments. The device body forms a first assembly, the mounting base forms a second assembly, a first connecting seat 100 is used for fixed connection with the device body, and a second connecting seat 200 is used for fixed connection with the mounting base.

[0086] Electronic devices can be camera equipment, surveying equipment, testing equipment, etc. The main body of the equipment can be a pan-tilt head, camera, testing instrument, etc., while the mounting base can be an accessory such as a handle, tripod, or handheld stabilizer. Taking camera equipment as an example, the first connecting base 100 can be fixedly connected to the camera, and the second connecting base 200 can be connected to the tripod. The quick assembly and disassembly of the camera and tripod can be achieved through the quick assembly and disassembly between the first connecting base 100 and the second connecting base 200.
