Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of support equipment technology, and in particular to a support device and a shooting device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of shooting equipment technology, the shooting and photography process has become increasingly convenient, and people have gradually become accustomed to taking photos to record life. In order to avoid the impact of camera shake on the image sharpness and to improve the image quality, a support device is usually needed to support the shooting equipment during shooting.

[0003] In related technologies, the connectors on the support device for connecting to the shooting equipment usually protrude from the support device. When the support device is not connected to the shooting equipment, it occupies a lot of space, is inconvenient to store, and is also easy to scratch other items stored together, causing inconvenience to the user's use and storage. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problems existing in the related technologies, this disclosure provides a support device and a shooting device.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a support device is provided, comprising:

[0006] A base having a contact surface that contacts the shooting equipment;

[0007] A connector is disposed on the base and movably connected to the base, the connector being used to connect the shooting device;

[0008] The connector is movable between a first position and a second position. When the connector is in the first position, the end of the connector facing the shooting device is below the contact surface or flush with the contact surface. When the connector is in the second position, the connector at least partially protrudes from the contact surface.

[0009] And a control knob connected to the base, the control knob being used to control the connector to remain in the first position or the second position, and / or, the control knob being used to control the connector to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the support device further includes:

[0011] A limiting member, which engages with the connector when the connector is housed within the base, thereby limiting the position of the connector; and

[0012] A limit control component is movably connected to the base, and a control knob is disposed on the limit control component.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the limiting control member has a first limiting portion;

[0014] The connector has a second limiting part;

[0015] In response to the end of the connector facing the shooting device being below the contact surface, and the control knob being rotated relative to the base to the locked position, the first limiting part abuts against the limiting member, such that the limiting member abuts against and / or engages with the second limiting part to limit the connector.

[0016] In response to the end of the connector facing the shooting device being below the contact surface, and the control knob being rotated relative to the base to the unlock position, the limiting member separates from the second limiting portion, such that the connector at least partially protrudes from the contact surface.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the locking position and the unlocking position are at the same height in the axial direction of the support device.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the support device further includes a first elastic element, which is connected to both the base and the connector.

[0019] The end of the connector facing the shooting device is below the contact surface, and the connector presses against the first elastic member, causing the first elastic member to undergo elastic deformation.

[0020] In response to the control knob rotating relative to the base to the unlock position, the limiting member separates from the second limiting part, and the first elastic member, under the action of the restoring force, drives the connecting member to move so that the connecting member at least partially protrudes from the contact surface.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the support device further includes a second elastic element, which is connected to the base and the limiting element respectively;

[0022] In response to the control knob rotating relative to the base to the locked position, the first limiting part drives the limiting member to abut against the second limiting part, the limiting member presses the second elastic member, and the second elastic member undergoes elastic deformation.

[0023] In response to the control knob rotating relative to the base to the unlock position, the limit control member separates from the limit member, and the second elastic member, under the action of the restoring force, drives the limit member to separate from the second limit part.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the support device further includes a handheld part, which is equipped with a plurality of interconnected support legs. Stretching or pushing any one support leg will cause the other support legs to extend or retract, so that the support device can switch between a handheld storage state and a support usage state.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the support device further includes:

[0026] A power supply assembly for supplying power to the shooting device;

[0027] A sliding frame, wherein the support leg is connected to the sliding frame, the sliding frame is disposed inside the handheld part, the sliding frame is sleeved on the power assembly, and can move along the extension direction of the power assembly.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the base includes a base body and a cover connected to the base body, the contact surface being disposed on the cover, and when the connector is connected to the shooting device, the connector extends through the cover to the outside of the base, such that the connector at least partially protrudes from the contact surface.

[0029] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a shooting device is provided, including a support device as described in the first aspect of the present disclosure.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: In the support device of this embodiment, the connector can move between a first position and a second position relative to the base, and the connector can be switched between a storage state and a use state according to the user's needs by controlling the dial, so as to avoid occupying too much space or scratching other items when the connector is not needed, thereby improving the convenience and practicality of the support device and improving the user experience.

[0042] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0043] With the continuous development of shooting equipment technology, the shooting and photography process has become increasingly convenient, and people have gradually become accustomed to taking photos to record life. In order to avoid the impact of camera shake on the image sharpness and to improve the image quality, a support device is usually needed to support the shooting equipment during shooting.

[0044] In related technologies, the connectors on the support device for connecting to the shooting equipment usually protrude from the support device. When the support device is not connected to the shooting equipment, it occupies a lot of space, is inconvenient to store, and is also easy to scratch other items stored together, causing inconvenience to the user's use and storage.

[0045] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a support device and a shooting device. In the support device of this disclosure, the connector can move between a first position and a second position relative to the base. The connector can be controlled to remain in the first position or the second position by a control knob, and / or the connector can be controlled to switch between the first position and the second position. This allows the connector to switch between a storage state and a usage state according to the user's needs, avoiding occupying too much space or scratching other items when the connector is not needed. This improves the convenience and practicality of the support device and enhances the user experience.

[0046] According to an exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 1-9 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a support device, such as a support handle, a bracket, etc. The support device can be used to support the shooting device (not shown in the figure) to improve the stability of the shooting device and thus improve the shooting effect.

[0047] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the support device includes a base 10 and a connector 20. The base 10 has a contact surface 101, and the connector 20 is disposed on the base 10. The connector 20 is used to connect the shooting device. When the support device is connected to the shooting device, the connector 20 is connected to the shooting device, and the contact surface 101 contacts the shooting device. By setting the contact surface 101, the contact area between the base 10 and the shooting device is increased, thereby improving the reliability of the connection. The connector 20 can be, for example, a 1 / 4 screw, a chuck, a buckle, or other connecting structure. This embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on the specific form of the connector 20, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs.

[0048] The connector 20 is movably connected to the base 10, and the connector 20 can move relative to the base 10 between a first position and a second position. When the connector 20 is in the first position, as shown... Figures 2-4 As shown, connector 20 is in a retracted state. The end of connector 20 facing the shooting device (i.e., Figure 4 The first end 21 shown is below or flush with the contact surface 101, allowing the connector 20 to be housed within the base 10. This avoids problems such as the connector 20 protruding from the contact surface 101 and occupying too much space or scratching other objects when the connector 20 is not needed to be connected to the shooting equipment. When the connector 20 is in the second position, as shown... Figures 5-6 As shown, the connector 20 is in use, and the connector 20 protrudes at least partially from the contact surface 101 to facilitate connection of the connector 20 to the shooting device.

[0049] The support device also includes a control knob 30 connected to the base 10, which is used to control the position of the connector 20. Specifically, the control knob 30 is used to control the connector 20 to remain in a first position or a second position, and / or, the control knob 30 is used to control the connector 20 to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0050] In one example, the control knob 30 is used to control the connector 20 to remain in a first position or a second position. The control knob 30 can cooperate with a limiting member (described in detail below) to control the connector 20 to remain in the first position or the second position, so that the connector 20 is retracted into the base 10 or at least partially extended out of the base 10 to connect with the shooting device.

[0051] In another example, the control knob 30 is used to control the connector 20 to switch between a first position and a second position. The control knob 30 can be connected to the connector 20 to move the connector 20 between the first and second positions, thereby allowing the connector 20 to be movably connected to the base 10, retracting into the base 10 or at least partially extending out of the base 10. The control knob 10 can be manually adjusted by the user, or a drive device (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the base 10 and automatically controlled according to the user's control commands to move the connector 20. This embodiment does not impose excessive limitations on this.

[0052] In another example, the control knob 30 is used to switch the connector 20 between a first position and a second position, and to keep the connector 20 in either the first or second position. When the connector 20 is in the first position, it can be retracted into the base 10; when the connector 20 is in the second position, it extends at least partially beyond the base 10 to facilitate connection with the shooting device. Controlling the connector 20 between the first and second positions and fixing it in either position via the control knob 30 improves the ease of use of the support device and optimizes the user experience.

[0053] In this embodiment, the connector 20 can move between a first position and a second position relative to the base 10, and the connector 20 can be controlled to remain in the first position or the second position by the control knob 30, and / or the connector 20 can be controlled to switch between the first position and the second position, so that the connector 20 can switch between a storage state and a use state according to the user's usage needs, avoiding occupying too much space or scratching other items when the connector 20 is not needed, thereby improving the convenience and practicality of the support device and enhancing the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, the support device further includes a limiting member 40 and a limiting control member 50. For example... Figures 3-6 As shown, the limiting control member 50 is movably connected to the base 10, and the control knob 30 is disposed on the limiting control member 50. When the connecting member 20 is housed within the base 10, the limiting member 40 and the connecting member 20 are engaged with each other to limit the connecting member 20. Specifically, the limiting member 40 can be configured as a locking block, screw, or other structure, and the connecting member 20 can be configured with a slot, threaded groove, or other structure that mates with the limiting member 40 to achieve the locking and limiting of the connecting member 20 by the limiting member 40. In this embodiment, the specific structures of the limiting member 40 and the connecting member 20 that mate with the limiting member 40 are not limited in many ways, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0055] The limiting member 40 and the limiting control member 50 can be directly connected or indirectly connected through other structures, so that the limiting member 40 is moved by the limiting control member 50, thereby limiting the connecting member 20. Of course, it can be understood that the limiting member 40 and the limiting control member 50 can also be unconnected, with the limiting member 40 and the limiting control member 50 abutting each other when the connecting member 20 is in either the first position or the second position, so that the limiting member 40 limits the connecting member 20; when the connecting member 20 is in the other position, the limiting member 40 and the limiting control member 50 separate under the reset action of the second elastic member 62 (which will be explained in detail later).

[0056] In some embodiments, the control knob 30 has a locked position 321 and an unlocked position 322. For example... Figures 1-6 As shown, the limiting control member 50 is provided with a first limiting part 51, and the connecting member 20 is provided with a second limiting part 201. The second limiting part 201 cooperates with the limiting member 40, and the first limiting part 51 can abut against the limiting member 40 to drive the limiting member 40 to engage with the second limiting part 201. This allows the limiting member 40 to limit the connecting member 20 when it is in the first position, thereby keeping the connecting member 20 in the first position, i.e., the first end 21 of the connecting member 20 (the end of the connecting member 20 facing the shooting device) is flush with or below the contact surface 101, which means that the connecting member 20 is kept inside the base 10.

[0057] When connector 20 faces one end of the shooting device (i.e.) Figure 4 When the first end 21 shown is below or flush with the contact surface 101 (i.e., when the connector 20 is in the first position), and the control knob 30 is rotated relative to the base 10 to the locking position 321, the first limiting part 51 abuts against the limiting part 40, so that the limiting part 40 abuts against and / or engages with the second limiting part 201 to limit the connector 20, so that the connector 20 is kept in the first position, i.e., stored in the base 10, to avoid occupying too much space and to avoid scratching other items.

[0058] When connector 20 faces one end of the shooting device (i.e.) Figure 4 When the first end 21 shown is below or flush with the contact surface 101 (i.e., when the connector 20 is in the first position), and the control knob 30 is rotated relative to the base 10 to the unlock position 322, the limiting member 40 separates from the second limiting part 201. At this time, the limiting member 40 no longer limits the connector 20, and the connector 20 can pop out under the action of external force, so that the connector 20 at least partially protrudes from the contact surface 101, so as to connect the connector 20 to the shooting device.

[0059] In some embodiments, the limit control member 50 may be ring-shaped. For example... Figures 3-6 As shown, the limiting control member 50 is rotatable relative to the base 10, and the limiting member 40 is disposed between the annular limiting control member 50 and the connecting member 20. The control knob 30 is connected to the limiting control member 50 and is rotatable relative to the base 10. The first limiting part 51 is disposed inside the limiting control member 50, and the first limiting part 51 can be, for example, a protrusion extending from the inner surface of the annular limiting control member 50.

[0060] When the connector 20 is in the first position, and the control knob 30 rotates relative to the base 10 to the position shown, Figure 1 When the locking position 321 is shown, the first limiting part 51 abuts against the limiting member 40 to push the limiting member 40 to abut and / or engage with the second limiting part 201 of the connector 20, thereby limiting the connector 20 and keeping it in the first position; when the connector 20 is in the first position, and the control knob 30 rotates relative to the base 10 to such position... Figure 1 When the unlock position 322 is shown, the first limiting part 51 separates from the limiting member 40. At this time, the limiting member 40 separates from the second limiting part 201 of the connecting member 20. The limiting member 40 no longer limits the connecting member 20. The connecting member 20 pops out under the restoring force of the first elastic member 61 (which will be explained in detail later), so that the connecting member 20 moves to the second position.

[0061] In one example, the limit control element 50 may also be provided with a weight reduction groove 501. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the weight-reducing groove 501 is a hollow groove arranged circumferentially inside the limiting control member 50. It is used to reduce the weight of the limiting control member 50 while ensuring its stability, thereby reducing the overall weight of the support device and facilitating its lightweight design. The number of weight-reducing grooves 501 can be one or more; this embodiment does not impose excessive restrictions on this.

[0062] In some embodiments, the locking position 321 and the unlocking position 322 are at the same height in the axial direction of the support device. That is, the locking position 321 and the unlocking position 322 are located on the same plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the support device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a limiting groove 32 can be provided on the base 10, and the limiting groove 32 extends along... Figure 1 As shown, the horizontally extending limiting groove 32 has a locking position 321 and an unlocking position 322 at its two ends. At least a portion of the control knob 30 is accommodated within the limiting groove 32, and the control knob 30 can slide relative to the base 10 along the limiting groove 32 to move between the locking position 321 and the unlocking position 322. By setting the locking position 321 and the unlocking position 322 at the same height in the axial direction of the support device, the stability of the control knob 30 when rotating relative to the base 10 can be ensured, thereby improving the structural stability and reliability of the support device.

[0063] In some embodiments, the support device further includes a first elastic member 61. For example... Figures 3-6 As shown, the first elastic element 61 is connected to the base 10 and the connector 20 respectively. When the connector 20 is in the first position, the end of the connector 20 facing the shooting device (i.e., the first end 21) is below or flush with the contact surface 101. At this time, the connector 20 presses the first elastic element 61, and the first elastic element 61 undergoes elastic deformation due to the pressure. When the control knob 30 is rotated relative to the base 10 to the position shown... Figure 1 When the unlock position 322 is shown, the first limiting part 51 of the limiting control member 50 is separated from the limiting member 40. At this time, the limiting member 40 is separated from the second limiting part 201. The limiting member 40 no longer limits the connecting member 20. The elastic deformation of the first elastic member 61 is restored, and under the action of the restoring force, the connecting member 20 is moved so that the connecting member 20 at least partially protrudes from the contact surface 101, that is, the connecting member 20 moves to the second position.

[0064] In some embodiments, the support device further includes a second elastic member 62. For example... Figures 3-6 As shown, the second elastic element 62 is connected to both the base 10 and the limiting element 40. When the control knob 30 is rotated relative to the base 10 to the position shown... Figure 1 In the locked position 321 shown, the first limiting part 51 of the limiting control member 50 drives the limiting member 40 to abut against the second limiting part 201. At this time, the limiting member 40 presses the second elastic member 62, and the second elastic member 62 undergoes elastic deformation. When the control knob 30 rotates relative to the base 10 to the position shown... Figure 1 In the unlocked position 322 shown, the limit control member 50 is separated from the limit member 40, the elastic deformation of the second elastic member 62 is restored, and under the action of the restoring force, the limit member 40 is driven to separate from the second limit part 201, so that the limiting effect of the limit member 40 on the connecting member 20 disappears.

[0065] In some embodiments, the number of limiting members 40 is two, and the two limiting members 40 are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the support device to improve the stability and reliability of limiting the connecting member 20. Of course, it is understood that those skilled in the art can also increase or decrease the number of limiting members 40 according to actual needs. For example, only one limiting member 40 can be provided, or three or more limiting members 40 can be provided to improve the limiting stability. The specific number of limiting members 40 is not limited in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0066] In some embodiments, an anti-slip structure 102 is further provided on the contact surface 101. For example... Figures 1-2 As shown, the anti-slip structure 102 is used to increase the friction between the contact surface 101 and the shooting device, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the shooting device and the support device. The anti-slip structure 102 can be a textured structure such as stripes, serrations, waves, or raised dots. It can also increase the surface roughness of the contact surface 101 through methods such as sandblasting or grinding. Alternatively, it can be made of flexible materials such as rubber or silicone, which deforms when the contact surface 101 contacts the shooting device, increasing the friction. This embodiment does not impose excessive restrictions on the specific configuration of the anti-slip structure 102; those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0067] In some embodiments, the support device has a handheld storage state and a support usage state. The support device also includes a handheld portion 70, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the support device is in its handheld, stowed state. The handheld portion 70 is equipped with several interconnected support legs 71. Stretching or pushing any one support leg 71 can cause the other support legs 71 to extend or retract, transforming the support device into its current state. Figures 8-9 The shown support usage state enables the switching between a handheld storage state and a support usage state. The number of support legs 71 can be determined by those skilled in the art based on design needs. For example, when the support device needs to be used as a tripod, the number of support legs 71 is three. Of course, the number of support legs 71 can also be increased or decreased according to actual needs. This embodiment does not impose excessive restrictions on the number of support legs 71.

[0068] In some embodiments, the support device further includes a power supply assembly 80 and a sliding frame 72. For example... Figures 4-6As shown, the power supply component 80 is located inside the support device. The power supply component 80 can be, for example, a battery or other device capable of powering the shooting equipment. This allows the support device to power the shooting equipment, improving its battery life and eliminating the need for users to carry additional batteries. This enhances the functionality and ease of use of the support device. The support leg 71 is connected to the sliding frame 72, which is located within the handheld part 70 and fitted onto the power supply component 80. The sliding frame 72 can move along the extension direction of the power supply component 80, thereby extending or retracting the support leg 71, enabling the switch between a handheld storage state and a support usage state.

[0069] In some embodiments, the support device further includes a charging port 81. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the charging port 81 is located on the outer surface of the support device, and the charging port 81 is also connected to... Figures 4-6 The power assembly 80 shown is electrically connected so that it can be charged through the charging port 81, thereby improving the battery life of the shooting device.

[0070] In some embodiments, the base 10 includes a base body 11 and a cover 12 connected to the base body 11. For example... Figures 1-2 As shown, the contact surface 101 is disposed on the cover 12. When the connector 20 is connected to the shooting device, the connector 20 extends through the cover 12 to the outside of the base 10, so that the connector 20 at least partially protrudes from the contact surface 101. The base body 11 may have a receiving space inside, which is used to receive the connector 20 when it is in the first position. Of course, it is understood that the receiving space can also be used to receive other structures in the support device such as the support leg 71 and the power supply assembly 80. This embodiment does not impose too many limitations on this, and those skilled in the art can design according to actual needs.

[0071] In some embodiments, the support device may further include a knob 31. For example... Figures 1-9 As shown, the knob 31 can rotate relative to the base 10. The knob 31 can be separately positioned between the cover 12 and the base body 11, or, as in this embodiment, the knob 31 and cover 12 can be integrated, with the cover 12 rotatably connected to the base body 11. Furthermore, the surface of the knob 31 can be provided with an anti-slip texture to facilitate user rotation. Both the knob 31 and the control knob 30 are connected to the limit control member 50. By controlling the movement of either the knob 31 or the control knob 30, the limit control member 50 can be rotated, thereby enabling the connecting member 20 to switch between a first position and a second position. Of course, it is understood that in this embodiment, only the knob 31 can be provided, without the control knob 30, i.e., as shown... Figure 7As shown, the knob 31 is used as an alternative to the control dial 30. Rotating the knob 31 drives the limit control member 50 to rotate. This embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this, and those skilled in the art can make settings according to actual needs.

[0072] According to an exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 1-9 As shown in the figure, this disclosure provides a shooting device, which includes a support device and a shooting device as described in the above embodiments. The support device is used to support the shooting device. The support device may be, for example, a support handle, a bracket, or other device that can support the shooting device. The shooting device may be, for example, an electronic device with shooting function such as a camera, a video recorder, or a mobile terminal.

[0073] The support device includes a base 10, a connector 20, and a control knob 30. The base 10 has a contact surface 101 that contacts the shooting device. The connector 20 is disposed on the base 10 and movably connected to the base 10, and is used to connect the shooting device. The connector 20 is movable between a first position and a second position. When the connector 20 is in the first position, the end of the connector 20 facing the shooting device is below or flush with the contact surface 101 to accommodate the connector 20. When the connector 20 is in the second position, the connector 20 at least partially protrudes from the contact surface 101 to connect to the shooting device. The control knob 30 is connected to the base 10 and is used to control the connector 20 to remain in the first position or the second position, and / or, the control knob 30 is used to control the connector 20 to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0074] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the shooting device includes the support device as described above.
