Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shooting auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a quick-release base adapted to photographic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A tripod head is a support device used to mount and secure cameras, camcorders, mobile phones, or other optical equipment. Existing tripod heads mainly consist of a base and a screw rod on top of the base. The screw rod connects to the screw holes on the photographic equipment, which are typically 1 / 4" or 3 / 8" screw holes. The current integrated design of tripod heads makes them incompatible with various photographic equipment. To overcome this limitation, some tripod heads on the market have a base consisting of a stand and a connector. The connector is detachably fixed to the stand, allowing the tripod head to be adapted to various photographic equipment by replacing the connector. However, the complex connection between the stand and connector in these tripod heads makes disassembly and assembly of the stand and connector cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-release base that is compatible with photographic equipment, so as to solve the problem that the existing gimbals are complicated to connect and disconnect, which makes it difficult to assemble and disassemble the base and connector.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A quick-release base for photographic equipment includes a housing, a connecting base, a locking arm, and a latching arm. The housing has an upward-opening insertion hole. The connecting base is detachably fixed to the housing at the insertion hole. The connecting base has a plug-in portion that extends into the insertion hole. The plug-in portion has a flange and a groove on its periphery. The flange is located above the groove. A screw is provided on the top of the connecting base. The locking arm can rotate relative to the housing and extend into the insertion hole to abut against the top surface of the flange to restrict the connecting base from moving away from the insertion hole, or rotate out of the insertion hole to release the flange. The latching arm can move relative to the housing and insert into the groove to restrict the connecting base from moving away from the insertion hole, or move out of the groove to release the connecting base.

[0006] Furthermore, the flange extends circumferentially around the connecting seat, and there are two locking arms, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the connecting seat.

[0007] Furthermore, the top surface of the flange is inclined inward from bottom to top, and the side of the locking arm that abuts against the flange is inclined inward from bottom to top.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking arm is provided with a first elastic element, and the housing is provided with a pushing element. The pushing element can move relative to the housing to push or release the locking arm. When the pushing element pushes the locking arm, it causes the locking arm to flip down and extend into the insertion hole to abut against the top surface of the flange. When the pushing element releases the locking arm, the first elastic element causes the locking arm to flip up and exit the insertion hole to release the flange.

[0009] Furthermore, the pusher moves forward to push against the locking arm and moves backward to release the locking arm. The side of the pusher that abuts against the locking arm tilts inward from back to front, and the side of the locking arm that abuts against the pusher tilts inward from back to front.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the pusher extends out of the outer casing, and the end of the pusher extending out of the outer casing is provided with a lever arm. The lever arm can rotate relative to the pusher arm and its circumference abuts against the outer casing. The circumference of the lever arm is arc-shaped so that when it rotates, it can drive the pusher arm to move and push or release the locking arm.

[0011] Furthermore, a second elastic member is provided on the pushing member, the second elastic member abutting against the outer shell and the pushing member respectively, and the second elastic member is used to drive the pushing member to move away from the locking arm.

[0012] Furthermore, a third elastic element is provided between the buckle arm and the outer shell, and the buckle arm is driven by the third elastic element to move and insert into the groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the buckle arm moves back and forth and has a pushing part and a snapping part. The pushing part extends back and forth, with one end of the pushing part extending out of the outer shell and the other end having the snapping part. The snapping part extends up and down for inserting into or retracting from the groove.

[0014] The advantages of this technical solution are:

[0015] 1. By configuring the quick-release base for compatible photography equipment as a housing, a connecting base, a locking arm, and a latching arm, and providing a screw on the top surface of the connecting base, and since the connecting base is detachably fixed to the housing through the insertion hole, the housing can be replaced with screws of different sizes by replacing the connecting base. This allows the quick-release base for compatible photography equipment to be compatible with photography equipment of different screw sizes, with excellent compatibility and flexible use.

[0016] 2. By configuring the connector with a plug-in portion and providing flanges and grooves around the plug-in portion, the locking arm can rotate to abut or release the flange, and the latching arm can move to insert or exit the groove, thus making the connector stable to the housing and easy and quick to assemble and disassemble.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Example: Figure 1-8As shown, the quick-release base for photographic equipment includes a housing 1, a connecting seat 2, a locking arm 3, and a latching arm 4. The housing 1 has an upward-opening insertion hole 101. The connecting seat 2 is detachably fixed to the housing 1 at the insertion hole 101. The connecting seat 2 has a plug-in portion 201 that extends into the insertion hole 101. The plug-in portion 201 has a flange 202 and a groove 203 around its periphery. The flange 202 is located above the groove 203. A screw 5 is provided on the top of the connecting seat 2. The locking arm 3 can rotate relative to the housing 1 to extend into the insertion hole 101 and abut against the top surface of the flange 202 to prevent the connecting seat 2 from moving away from the insertion hole 101, or rotate to exit the insertion hole 101 and release the flange 202. The latching arm 4 can move relative to the housing 1 to insert into the groove 203 to prevent the connecting seat 2 from moving away from the insertion hole 101, or move to exit the groove 203 and release the connecting seat 2. The screw 5 is used for connection with the screw thread on the photographic equipment.

[0029] The assembly process of the outer shell 1 and the connecting seat 2 is as follows: First, the plug part 201 is inserted into the plug hole 101. Then, the latch arm 4 moves and inserts into the groove 203. Finally, the locking arm 3 flips down and abuts against the upper side of the flange 202, thereby locking the connecting seat 2 onto the outer shell 1.

[0030] The disassembly process of the outer shell 1 and the connecting seat 2 is as follows: First, the locking arm 3 flips up to exit the insertion hole 101 and release the flange 202. Then, the latch arm 4 moves to exit the groove 203, thereby releasing the connecting seat 2. At this time, the user can remove the connecting seat 2 from the outer shell 1.

[0031] In summary, this embodiment provides a quick-release base for photographic equipment, solving the problem of complicated assembly and disassembly of the base and connector in existing gimbals due to their complex connections. The quick-release base is configured as a housing 1, a connector 2, a locking arm 3, and a latching arm 4. The connector 2 has a screw 5 on its top surface. Since the connector 2 is detachably fixed to the housing 1 via the insertion hole 101, the housing 1 can be replaced with screws 5 of different sizes by replacing the connector 2. This allows the quick-release base to adapt to photographic equipment with varying screw sizes, offering excellent compatibility and flexibility. Furthermore, by configuring the connector 2 with a insertion portion 201, and arranging a flange 202 and a groove 203 around the insertion portion 201, the locking arm 3 can rotate to engage or disengage the flange 202, and the latching arm 4 can move to insert into or disengage from the groove 203. This ensures a stable connection between the connector 2 and the housing 1, and facilitates quick and easy assembly and disassembly.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, the flange 202 extends circumferentially around the connecting seat 2, and there are two locking arms 3, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the connecting seat 2. By configuring the flange 202 to extend circumferentially around the connecting seat 2 and configuring two locking arms 3 to be disposed on opposite sides of the connecting seat 2, when the locking arms 3 are folded down and abut against the top surface of the flange 202, the connecting seat 2 can be stably locked onto the outer shell 1.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the top surface of the flange 202 is inclined inward from bottom to top, and the side of the locking arm 3 that abuts against the flange 202 is also inclined inward from bottom to top. This arrangement, by configuring the top surface of the flange 202 to be inclined inward from bottom to top and the side of the locking arm 3 that abuts against the flange 202 to be inclined inward from bottom to top, ensures stable contact between the locking arm 3 and the flange 202 when they abut against the top surface of the flange 202, resulting in excellent locking performance.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, a first elastic member 6 is provided on the locking arm 3 and housed within the outer casing 1. A pushing member 7 is provided within the outer casing 1. The pushing member 7 can move relative to the outer casing 1 to push or release the locking arm 3. When the pushing member 7 pushes the locking arm 3, it causes the locking arm 3 to fold down and extend into the insertion hole 101 to abut against the top surface of the flange 202. When the pushing member 7 releases the locking arm 3, the first elastic member 6 causes the locking arm 3 to fold up and exit from the insertion hole 101 to release the flange 202. The above arrangement, by configuring the first elastic member 6 on the locking arm 3 and configuring the pushing member 7 within the outer casing 1, allows the locking arm 3 to fold down to abut against the top surface of the flange 202 or fold up to release the flange 202. The driving structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the pushing member 7 moves forward to push against the locking arm 3, and moves backward to release the locking arm 3. The side of the pushing member 7 that abuts against the locking arm 3 is inclined from back to front and inward, and the side of the locking arm 3 that abuts against the pushing member 7 is also inclined from back to front and inward. This arrangement, by configuring the side of the pushing member 7 that abuts against the locking arm 3 to be inclined from back to front and inward, and the side of the locking arm 3 that abuts against the pushing member 7 to be inclined from back to front and inward, ensures smooth driving of the pushing member 7 and excellent performance.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, one end of the push member 7 extends out of the outer shell 1. A lever 8 is provided at the end of the push member 7 extending out of the outer shell 1. The lever 8 can rotate relative to the push member 7 and its circumference abuts against the outer shell 1. The lever 8 has an arc-shaped circumference, so that when it rotates, it can drive the push member 7 to move and push against or release the locking arm 3. This arrangement, by configuring a lever 8 at the end of the push member 7 extending out of the outer shell 1, and the lever 8 having an arc-shaped circumference, allows the push member 7 to move and push against or release the locking arm 3 when rotated, making it convenient for the user to drive the push member 7.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, a second elastic element 9 is provided on the pushing member 7. The second elastic element 9 abuts against both the outer shell 1 and the pushing member 7. The second elastic element 9 is used to drive the pushing member 7 to move away from the locking arm 3. By configuring the second elastic element 9 on the pushing member 7, the pushing member 7 can quickly move backward to release the locking arm 3, thereby allowing the locking arm 3 to quickly flip down and lock the connecting seat 2.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the latch arm 4 moves back and forth, and a third elastic element 10 is provided between the latch arm 4 and the outer shell 1. The latch arm 4 is driven by the third elastic element 10 to move and insert into the groove 203. The latch arm 4 can also be driven out of the groove 203 by external force. This arrangement, by configuring the third elastic element 10 between the latch arm 4 and the outer shell 1 to drive the latch arm 4 into the groove 203, allows the latch arm 4 to quickly insert into the groove 203 and lock the connecting seat 2 after the external force is removed.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the buckle arm 4 has a pushing portion 401 and a latching portion 402. The pushing portion 401 extends forward and backward, with one end extending out of the outer casing 1 and the other end having a latching portion 402. The latching portion 402 extends vertically for inserting into or retracting from the groove 203. This configuration, by setting the buckle arm 4 with a pushing portion 401 extending forward and backward and a latching portion 402 extending vertically, allows the buckle arm 4 to insert into or retract from the groove 203 when moving forward and backward. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0040] The above description provides one or more embodiments in conjunction with specific content, and does not imply that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to or identical to those of this utility model, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this utility model, should be considered as protected by this utility model.
