Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of photography or videography, and specifically to a photography stand. Background Technology

[0002] Cameras and mobile phones have gradually become more common in people's daily lives. These devices can capture moments of life or travel with family and friends, or interesting objects at any time.

[0003] During filming, to ensure stable and accurate images or videos, the camera often needs to be mounted on a tripod. The filming equipment and tripod are only assembled during filming; otherwise, they are typically carried separately.

[0004] A prior art technology discloses a support leg, including a main pole, a leg assembly supporting the main pole, and an elastic locking mechanism disposed at one end of the main pole. The leg assembly includes several openable and retractable support legs. When retracted, the support legs are engaged and fixed with the elastic locking mechanism and attached to the main pole. Pressing the elastic locking mechanism can open the support leg that is engaged and fixed with the elastic locking mechanism and attached to the main pole. By setting the elastic locking mechanism, the support leg can be attached to the surface of the main pole and engaged and fixed with the elastic locking mechanism, thus achieving the goal of retracting the support leg to the main pole and fixing the support leg with the elastic locking mechanism. At this time, the support leg cannot rotate. During use, the support leg can be opened by pressing the elastic locking mechanism and adjusted to a suitable position. After use, the support leg can be attached to the surface of the main pole and locked with the elastic locking mechanism. Therefore, the support leg has the advantages of being easy to carry and easy to use.

[0005] However, as the number of uses increases, the elasticity of the elastic locking mechanism tends to decrease, causing it to fail to close and secure the support legs, resulting in damage to the support legs. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photographic bracket that replaces the elastic locking mechanism with a magnetic attraction, thereby extending the service life of the bracket and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a photographic support, comprising a main body, a tripod assembly, and a magnetic assembly. The main body has a mounting position at its top for mounting a shooting device and a drive button at its bottom, with a connecting sleeve fitted over it. The tripod assembly includes several supporting legs, one end of which is hinged to the connecting sleeve, and the other end is a free end. The supporting legs can open and close. The magnetic assembly includes a first adsorption component and a second adsorption component. The first adsorption component is located at the free end of the supporting leg, and the second adsorption component is located on the drive button and moves with the drive button. The first and second adsorption components face each other and adhere to each other, allowing the supporting legs to close and adhere to one side of the main body. Pressing the drive button moves the second adsorption component, causing the first and second adsorption components to misalign and release, allowing the supporting legs to open.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive button includes an elastic element, a sliding block, and a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is fixed to the bottom end of the main rod body. The elastic element is sleeved on the connecting rod. The other end of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the sliding block. The elastic element abuts against the sliding block. The second adsorption component is disposed on the sliding block.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive button also includes a mounting screw, the sliding block has a through hole, the connecting rod has a connecting hole, the mounting screw passes through the through hole and is installed into the connecting hole to limit the sliding block to slide on the connecting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, both the first adsorption component and the second adsorption component are magnets; or one of them is a magnet and the other is an iron block.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first adsorption component and the second adsorption component are magnets. The first adsorption component includes a first magnet and a second magnet, and the second adsorption component includes a third magnet. The second magnet is arranged adjacent to the first magnet and located directly below the first magnet. The magnetic properties of the sides of the second magnet and the third magnet facing each other are opposite, while the magnetic properties of the sides of the first magnet and the third magnet facing each other are the same.

[0012] Furthermore, both the first adsorption component and the second adsorption component are magnets. The first adsorption component includes a fourth magnet, and the second adsorption component includes a fifth magnet and a sixth magnet. The sixth magnet is arranged adjacent to the fifth magnet and located directly below the fifth magnet. The sides of the fourth magnet and the fifth magnet facing each other have the same magnetism, and the sides of the fourth magnet and the sixth magnet facing each other have opposite magnetism.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting rod is provided with a guide protrusion or guide groove in the vertical direction, and the sliding block is adapted to the connecting rod and slides in the vertical direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the camera bracket also includes a support rod, one end of which is pivotally connected to the support leg, and the other end is pivotally connected to the lower part of the main body. A receiving cavity is provided inside the support leg, and the support rod can be received in the receiving cavity.

[0015] Furthermore, when the support leg is retracted and attached to one side of the main rod, the drive button protrudes from the bottom end of the support leg.

[0016] Furthermore, the main rod is cylindrical, the support feet are arc-shaped, and several support feet surround the main rod and can be attached to the surface of the main rod.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. The free end of the support leg is equipped with a first magnetic attraction component, and the drive button is equipped with a second magnetic attraction component. When the camera bracket is not in use, it needs to be stored. To store it, rotate the support leg so that the first magnetic attraction component on the free end aligns with and engages with the second magnetic attraction component on the drive button. At this time, the support leg is magnetically attracted and adheres to one side of the main body, completing the storage of the camera bracket. When the camera bracket needs to be unfolded for use, press the drive button and move the second magnetic attraction component. The first and second magnetic attraction components are misaligned, releasing the magnetic attraction and allowing the support leg to be easily unfolded. In this application, a magnetic attraction component replaces the elastic locking mechanism in the prior art. The magnetic attraction component does not experience elastic decay and maintains good stability after multiple uses, ensuring the functional stability of the support leg's unfolding and storage, resulting in a lower overall failure rate and a longer service life for the camera bracket.

[0019] 2. Both the first and second adsorption components utilize magnets. The first adsorption component includes a first magnet and a second magnet, while the second adsorption component includes a third magnet. The second magnet is positioned adjacent to and directly below the first magnet. The opposing sides of the second and third magnets exhibit opposite magnetic properties, while the opposing sides of the first and third magnets exhibit the same magnetic properties. When storing the camera bracket, rotate the support leg so that the second magnet on its free end aligns with the third magnet on the drive button. At this point, the support leg retracts and adheres to one side of the main body through magnetic attraction, completing the storage of the camera bracket. When the camera bracket needs to be deployed, press the drive button and move the third magnet until it is misaligned with the second magnet and aligned with the first magnet. The repulsive force between the third and first magnets allows the support leg to be quickly pushed open, facilitating the rapid deployment of the camera bracket.

[0020] 3. The connecting rod is provided with a guide protrusion or guide groove in the vertical direction. The sliding block is adapted to the connecting rod and slides in the vertical direction, which facilitates the alignment and docking of the third magnet and the first magnet.

[0021] 4. When the support legs are folded and attached to one side of the main body, the drive button protrudes from the bottom of the support legs. When the support legs need to be unfolded, the entire camera bracket can be pressed onto the ground to trigger the drive button without the need to press the drive button by hand, making it more convenient for users.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As an embodiment of this utility model, a photographic support includes a main body 1, a tripod assembly 2, and a magnetic assembly 3. The main body 1 has a mounting position 11 for mounting a shooting device at its top end and a drive button 12 at its bottom end, with a connecting sleeve 13 fitted on it. The tripod assembly 2 includes several support legs 21, one end of which is hinged to the connecting sleeve 13, and the other end is a free end 22. The support legs 21 can open and close. The magnetic assembly 3 includes a first adsorption component 31 and a second adsorption component 32. The first adsorption component 31 is located at the free end 22 of the support leg 21, and the second adsorption component 32 is located on the drive button 12 and moves with the drive button 12. The first adsorption component 31 and the second adsorption component 32 face each other and adhere to each other, so that the support leg 21 closes and adheres to one side of the main body 1. Pressing the drive button 12 and moving the second adsorption component 32 causes the first adsorption component 31 and the second adsorption component 32 to misalign and release adsorption, so that the support leg 21 can open.

[0034] Specifically, the drive button 12 includes an elastic element 121, a sliding block 122, and a connecting rod 123. One end of the connecting rod 123 is fixed to the bottom end of the main rod 1. The elastic element 121 is sleeved on the connecting rod 123, and the other end of the connecting rod 123 is slidably connected to the sliding block 122. The elastic element 121 abuts against the sliding block 122, and the second adsorption component 32 is disposed on the sliding block 122. The connecting rod 123 acts as a track, allowing the sliding block 122 to slide along the direction of the connecting rod 123. In its initial state, the sliding block 122 is located at the bottom end of the connecting rod 123. At this time, the elastic element 121 is a spring, which is sleeved on the connecting rod 123 and abuts against the sliding block 122. When the sliding block 122 is compressed by an external force, it can slide on the connecting rod 123. At this time, the spring is subjected to compressive force, accumulating elastic force to facilitate the reset of the sliding block 122 in the next drive.

[0035] In other embodiments, the elastic element 121 can be omitted. In this case, the drive button 12 includes a sliding block 122 and a sliding rod. One end of the connecting rod 123 is fixed to the bottom end of the main rod 1, and the other end is slidably connected to the sliding block 122. The second adsorption component 32 is disposed on the sliding block 122. In this case, the coefficient of friction between the sliding block 122 and the connecting rod 123 can be set to be smaller. When the camera bracket is placed vertically, the sliding block 122 is reset by gravity.

[0036] In this embodiment, the drive button 12 also includes a mounting screw 124. The sliding block 122 is provided with a through hole 1221, which is a stepped hole. The connecting rod 123 is provided with a connecting hole 1231. The tail end of the mounting screw 124 passes through the through hole 1221 and is installed in the connecting hole 1231. The nut of the mounting screw 124 is engaged in the through hole 1221. After the mounting screw 124 is tightened, the sliding block 122 can be limited to slide on the connecting rod 123.

[0037] In other embodiments, the mounting screw 124 can be replaced with a stop structure. In this case, the sliding block 122 is provided with a through hole 1221, and the connecting rod 123 is installed with a stop after passing through the through hole 1221. The stop can limit the sliding block 122 to slide on the connecting rod 123.

[0038] Furthermore, both the first adsorption component 31 and the second adsorption component 32 are magnets; or one of them is a magnet and the other is an iron block. Using the above adsorption methods, the support foot 21 can be folded and attached to one side of the main rod 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, both the first adsorption component 31 and the second adsorption component 32 are magnets. The first adsorption component 31 includes a first magnet 311 and a second magnet 312, and the second adsorption component 32 includes a third magnet 321. The second magnet 312 is arranged adjacent to the first magnet 311 and located directly below the first magnet 311. The magnetic properties of the sides of the second magnet 312 and the third magnet 321 facing each other are opposite, while the magnetic properties of the sides of the first magnet 311 and the third magnet 321 facing each other are the same. When storing the camera bracket, the support foot 21 is rotated so that the second magnet 312 on the free end 22 is aligned with the third magnet 321 on the drive button 12. At this time, the support foot 21 is closed and attached to one side of the main body 1 by magnetic attraction, thus completing the storage of the camera bracket. When the camera bracket needs to be unfolded for use, press the drive button 12 and move the third magnet 321 until the third magnet 321 and the second magnet 312 are misaligned and the third magnet 321 and the first magnet 311 are aligned. At this time, under the repulsive force between the third magnet 321 and the first magnet 311, the support foot 21 can be quickly pushed open, which facilitates the quick unfolding of the camera bracket.

[0040] When the support leg 21 is folded and attached to one side of the main body 1, the drive button 12 protrudes from the bottom of the support leg 21. When it is necessary to unfold the support leg 21, the drive button 12 can be triggered simply by pressing the entire camera bracket onto the ground, eliminating the need for manual pressing and making it more convenient for users. After the camera bracket is lifted from the ground, the drive button 12 can be reset by the elastic force of the elastic element 121, facilitating the folding and attachment of the support leg 21.

[0041] In other embodiments, both the first adsorption component 31 and the second adsorption component 32 are magnets. The first adsorption component 31 includes a fourth magnet 313, and the second adsorption component 32 includes a fifth magnet 322 and a sixth magnet 323. The sixth magnet 323 is arranged adjacent to the fifth magnet 322 and is located directly below the fifth magnet 322. The sides of the fourth magnet 313 and the fifth magnet 322 facing each other have opposite magnetic properties, while the sides of the fourth magnet 313 and the sixth magnet 323 facing each other have the same magnetic properties.

[0042] When storing the camera bracket, rotate the support foot 21 so that the fourth magnet 313 on the free end 22 is aligned with the fifth magnet 322 on the drive button 12. At this time, the support foot 21 is magnetically attracted and attached to one side of the main body 1, completing the storage of the camera bracket. When it is necessary to unfold the camera bracket, press the drive button 12 and move the fifth magnet 322 and the sixth magnet 323 synchronously until the fifth magnet 322 is misaligned with the fourth magnet 313 and the sixth magnet 323 is aligned with the fourth magnet 313. At this time, under the repulsive force of the fourth magnet 313 and the sixth magnet 323, the support foot 21 can be quickly pushed open, facilitating the quick unfolding of the camera bracket.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to facilitate precise docking between magnets, the connecting rod 123 is provided with a guide protrusion or guide groove in the vertical direction, and the sliding block 122 is adapted to the connecting rod 123 and slides in the vertical direction, so that the sliding position is not easily deviated.

[0044] Furthermore, the camera bracket also includes a support rod 4, one end of which is pivotally connected to the support foot 21, and the other end is pivotally connected to the lower part of the main rod body 1. A receiving cavity 211 is provided inside the support foot 21, and the support rod 4 can be received in the receiving cavity 211.

[0045] Specifically, the number of support legs 21 is mainly three or four. The main body 1 is cylindrical, and the support legs 21 are arc-shaped. Several support legs 21 surround the main body 1 and can be attached to the surface of the main body 1 to completely cover the main body 1. The support legs 21 can improve the stability of the tripod, which is beneficial for shooting. Moreover, the arc-shaped support legs 21 can improve the aesthetics when folded. The concave surface of the support legs 21 forms a receiving cavity 211. The number of support rods 4 is the same as the number of support legs 21 and is set corresponding to the support legs 21. One end of the support rod 4 is pivotally connected to the corresponding support leg 21, and the other end is pivotally connected to the lower part of the main body 1. The support rod 4 can be housed in the receiving cavity 211. In order to improve the convenience of setting up the tripod, the main body 1 can be a telescopic rod, which can be adjusted to the actual use needs.

[0046] In this embodiment, the camera bracket replaces the elastic locking mechanism in the prior art with a magnetic suction component 3. The magnetic suction component 3 does not experience elasticity decay and maintains good stability even after repeated use, ensuring the functional stability of the support legs 21 during deployment and retraction. This results in a lower overall failure rate and a longer service life for the camera bracket. The specific usage process of the camera bracket is as follows:

[0047] When not in use, the camera stand needs to be stored. To store it, rotate the support leg 21 so that the first suction component 31 on the free end 22 aligns and engages with the second suction component 32 on the drive button 12. At this point, the support leg 21 is magnetically attached to one side of the main body 1, completing the storage of the camera stand. When the camera stand needs to be unfolded for use, press the drive button 12 and move the second suction component 32. The first suction component 31 and the second suction component 32 are misaligned, releasing the magnetic attraction and allowing the support leg 21 to be easily unfolded.

[0048] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
