Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic accessories technology, and in particular to a convenient unfolding support frame structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of smartphones, selfie sticks have become an essential tool for recording life and sharing moments. They not only make it convenient for users to take selfies but also provide a wider shooting angle and more stable shooting results in scenarios such as travel and parties. However, existing selfie sticks still have many inconveniences in use, especially when used with a tripod, and the user experience urgently needs improvement.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent number CN202510208673.4, entitled "A Selfie Stick with a Quick-Deployment Tripod," includes a selfie stick body, a mounting part for mounting a telescopic rod, and several support feet rotatably connected to the bottom edge of the mounting part. The support feet enclose a tubular portion at the bottom of the mounting part, and the inner wall of each support foot is connected to a spring-loaded deployment device for outward expansion. By manually pushing the retracted support foot outward, the spring-loaded deployment device is triggered, causing the support foot to spring open, thus completing the quick deployment. While this selfie stick structure can achieve quick deployment, the spring-loaded deployment device may become stuck due to gaps during the deployment process, preventing a precise and smooth pop-out. In this case, the user needs to manually adjust it to ensure complete deployment, requiring additional effort and increasing the complexity of the operation. Therefore, a more reasonable support foot structure is urgently needed to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] To more clearly illustrate this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a further picture.

[0031] In the following description, specific examples are given to provide a more in-depth understanding of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] It should be understood that when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the said feature, integral, step, operation, element, or component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a conveniently deployable support frame structure, comprising:

[0034] The main body 1 has at least three support legs 2 on its cylindrical surface. One end of each support leg 2 is hinged to the main body 1. When any support leg 2 is closed and fitted with the adjacent support leg 2, a pressure zone is formed at the end.

[0035] Connecting seat 3, one end of connecting seat 3 is elastically connected to the end of the main body 1 near the pressure area, and the other end is fixedly connected to pressing member 5. Pressing member 5 passes through the pressure area and is fixedly connected to connecting seat 3. When the support leg 2 is retracted into the main body 1, connecting seat 3 restricts the movement of support leg 2. Pushing connecting seat 3, support leg 2 separates from connecting seat 3.

[0036] The supporting keel 21 has one end hinged to the main body 1 and the other end hinged to the supporting leg 2. The supporting keel 21 has a groove 211 on the side facing the main body 1.

[0037] Fixing component 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the main body 1 near the connecting seat 3;

[0038] An elastic element is provided, one end of which is fixedly connected to the fixing element 6, and the other end abuts against the slide groove 211. Specifically, the elastic element is a torsion spring 4, which includes a fixed end 41, an abutting end 42, and a spring coil 43. The fixed end 41 is fixedly connected to the fixing element 6, and the abutting end 42 abuts against the slide groove 211. The fixing element 6 is provided with a groove 61, which forms an accommodating space for accommodating the spring coil 43.

[0039] This support frame structure utilizes the elasticity of the torsion spring 4 to achieve rapid and automatic deployment of the support leg 2, significantly improving user convenience. Specifically, one end of the torsion spring 4 is fixed to the main body 1, and the other end abuts against the support leg 2, ensuring that the support leg 2 is always subjected to an outward elastic force in its natural state. When the support leg 2 is retracted, the connecting seat 3 is fixedly connected to the support leg 2, at which point the torsion spring 4 is compressed. When the user needs to deploy the support frame, they simply press the pressing piece 5 to separate the connecting seat 3 from the support leg 2. At this time, the torsion spring 4 quickly releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the support leg 2 outward, allowing for rapid deployment of the support frame without requiring manual angle adjustment by the user. This design not only simplifies the operation steps but also improves efficiency, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent deployment and folding. Furthermore, the elastic parameters of the torsion spring 4 can be adjusted according to actual needs to optimize the deployment force and speed, ensuring a balance between structural stability and user experience.

[0040] Specifically, each support leg 2 has a support keel 21 on the side facing the main body 1. One end of each support keel 21 is hinged to the main body 1, and the other end is hinged to the support leg 2. A groove 211 is provided on the side of the support keel 21 near the torsion spring 4. The torsion spring 4 abuts against the groove 211, giving the support leg 2 an elastic unfolding tendency relative to the main body 1. The design of the support keel 21 further enhances the stability and unfolding effect of the support leg 2. By hinged to the main body 1 and the support leg 2 at both ends respectively, the support keel 21 forms an effective support structure, making the support leg 2 more stable and less prone to wobbling when unfolded. Simultaneously, the groove 211 allows for a certain degree of relative sliding between the torsion spring 4 and the support keel 21. This design ensures that the elastic effect of the torsion spring 4 is effectively transmitted to the support leg 2, and makes the movement of the support leg 2 smoother and more fluid during unfolding. Furthermore, the groove 211 can also adjust and control the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 4 to a certain extent, making the unfolding force and speed of the support leg 2 more in line with actual needs, further improving the user experience.

[0041] More specifically, the more coils of the spring 43, the stronger the elasticity and service life of the torsion spring 4, thus making the elastic unfolding characteristic of the supporting keel 21 relative to the main body 1 stronger. The groove 61 is provided with a through hole 612, and the fixed end 41 of the torsion spring 4 is inserted into the through hole 612 to realize the fixed connection between the torsion spring 4 and the fixing member 6. The abutting end 42 of the torsion spring 4 abuts against the slide groove 211. The abutting end 42 is designed with a smooth structure so that the abutting end 42 can move smoothly during the process of retracting and unfolding the supporting leg 2. The end of the slide groove 211 away from the main body 1 forms a slope, which matches the abutting end 42. When the supporting leg 2 retracts relative to the main body 1, the slope fits against the abutting end 42, so that the abutting end 42 can slide smoothly during the process of retracting and unfolding the supporting leg 2, reducing friction and resistance, and improving the smoothness and efficiency of the unfolding and retracting of the supporting leg 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, each support leg 2 has a storage groove 22 on its side opposite to the main body 1, which is adapted to the support keel 21. One end of the support keel 21 is hinged to the two opposite walls of the storage groove 22 and can be stored and unfolded in the storage groove 22. When stored, the support keel 21 can be completely retracted into the storage groove 22, significantly improving space utilization, and the storage process is simple and efficient. In the stored state, the support keel 21 and the storage groove 22 fit tightly together, effectively preventing dust and debris from entering the groove and keeping the structure clean; at the same time, the support keel 21 will not easily detach from the storage groove 22 due to shaking or external force, ensuring stability and safety in the stored state. This design enhances the practicality of the support frame while also taking into account aesthetics and convenience, fully meeting the user's core needs for an efficient, stable, and easy-to-use support frame structure.

[0043] In this embodiment, the connecting seat 3 has a locking block 31 on the side near the supporting leg 2, and the supporting leg 2 has a locking groove 23 that matches the locking block 31. The connecting seat 3 is engaged with the locking groove 23 through the locking block 31. When unfolding the support frame structure, simply press the pressing member 5, which will push the locking block 31 out of the locking groove 23, thereby separating the connecting seat 3 from the supporting leg 2. When retracting the support frame structure, retract the supporting leg 2, and the locking block 31 will engage with the locking groove 23. This locking design greatly facilitates the user's quick installation and removal of the supporting leg 2, improving the ease of operation.

[0044] In this embodiment, a pressing element 5 is also included. The pressing element 5 passes through the pressure area and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 3 so that when the pressing element 5 is pressed, it pushes the locking block 31 out of the slot 23, thereby realizing the disassembly of the connecting seat 3 and the support leg 2. The pressing element 5 is ingeniously and practically designed. One end of it passes through the pressure area and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 3, ensuring that the pressing element 5 will not loosen or fall off during normal use. When the user needs to disassemble the support leg 2, he only needs to press the pressing element 5 gently, and its other end will push the locking block 31 to move in the slot 23 until the locking block 31 is completely disengaged from the slot 23. At this time, the connection between the connecting seat 3 and the support leg 2 is released, and the user can easily separate the support leg 2 from the connecting seat 3. This design not only simplifies the disassembly process and reduces the difficulty of operation for the user, but also avoids the risk of damage caused by using tools, further improving the convenience and practicality of the support frame structure. At the same time, the position and size of the pressing element 5 are carefully designed to ensure that the user can easily access it during operation without interfering with the overall structure of the support frame.

[0045] In this embodiment, the edge of the groove 61 is provided with a first through hole 613. The fixing member 6 is fixedly connected to the base 7. The base 7 is provided with a second through hole 71 corresponding to the first through hole 613. When the fixing member 6 is fixedly connected to the base 7, the first through hole 613 and the second through hole 71 form a rotating hole. The supporting keel 21 has rotating shafts 212 on both sides, and the rotating shafts 212 are embedded in the rotating hole. The supporting keel 21 can rotate freely in the rotating hole through the rotating shafts 212, which further enhances the flexibility and adjustment range of the support frame structure.

[0046] In this embodiment, a connecting post 32 is formed on the side of the connecting seat 3 near the base 7. The base 7 has a receiving hole 72 for accommodating the connecting post 32. A spring is sleeved on the connecting post 32, with both ends of the spring abutting against the end of the connecting post 32 and the bottom of the receiving hole 72, respectively, so that the connecting post 32 and the receiving hole 72 form an elastic connection. The elastic connection design not only improves the connection stability between the connecting seat 3 and the base 7, but also provides a certain buffering effect, effectively reducing the damage that may be caused by external impact or vibration during use. When the support frame is subjected to external force, the spring can absorb some energy, reducing the impact on the overall structure, thereby extending the service life of the support frame. In addition, the elasticity of the spring also makes the position of the connecting seat 3 relative to the base 7 adjustable to a certain extent. Users can fine-tune the position of the connecting seat 3 according to actual needs, further improving the applicability and flexibility of the support frame.

[0047] In this embodiment, the pressing member 5 has a fixing post 51, and the connecting seat 3 has a limiting hole 33 that matches the fixing post 51. The fixing post 51 is inserted into the limiting hole 33 to achieve a fixed connection between the pressing member 5 and the connecting seat 3. This fixed connection method is not only simple in design but also firmly connected, effectively preventing the pressing member 5 from loosening or falling off during use. The precise matching of the fixing post 51 and the limiting hole 33 ensures the accurate position of the pressing member 5 on the connecting seat 3, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the support frame when it is unfolded or retracted.

[0048] In this embodiment, the side of the support foot 2 away from the main body 1 is provided with anti-slip texture, and several anti-slip textures form an anti-slip part 24 to increase the friction of the support foot 2. The design of the anti-slip part 24 makes it more convenient for users to hold the selfie stick and effectively prevents it from slipping.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0050] When unfolding the support frame, the user simply presses the pressing piece 5. Under the action of external force, the pressing piece 5 moves inward, simultaneously pushing the locking block 31 out of the slot 23, thus unlocking the connecting seat 3 from the support leg 2. At this moment, the torsion spring 4 instantly releases its elastic potential energy, driving the support leg 2 to unfold naturally outward, completing the setup. When retracting, the support leg 2 is folded inward to a closed state, and the locking block 31 will automatically engage with the slot 23, achieving a stable lock. At the same time, the torsion spring 4 is stored in the slide groove 211 as the support leg 2 retracts, and the support keel 21 also retracts into the storage groove 22.

[0051] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0052] This invention incorporates a torsion spring between the supporting keel and the main body, with the spring coils positioned within a recessed accommodating space. The more coils, the greater the spring's elasticity and lifespan, thus enhancing the elastic unfolding characteristics of the supporting keel relative to the main body. When the connecting seat is pushed to separate from the supporting legs, the torsion spring, with its increased elasticity, automatically ejects the supporting keel, causing the supporting legs to unfold outwards, thereby achieving a convenient unfolding function.

[0053] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
