Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bracket technology, specifically to a camera bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication and imaging technologies, the camera capabilities of smartphones have been greatly enhanced, and they are widely used in professional and amateur video creation, live streaming, and photography assistance. Against this backdrop, phone clips that can securely hold phones to professional photography equipment have become essential tools for content creators. For example, the SLR hot shoe phone clip primarily secures the phone by clamping it and uses a base mounted on the "hot shoe interface" on top of the camera, allowing the phone to be used as an auxiliary camera position, monitor, or live streaming device. While existing SLR hot shoe phone clips can achieve various angle adjustments, such as pitch and roll, adjusting the pitch angle is limited by the weight of the clip and the phone, resulting in insufficient load-bearing capacity in the pitch direction. This can easily cause the phone to shift, requiring readjustment of the phone's angle. Utility Model Content

[0041] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0042] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., 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.

[0044] The camera bracket of this utility model embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the camera bracket provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a base frame 10, a rotating shaft 20, a rotating bracket 30, and a locking assembly 40. The base frame 10 is suitable for fixing to a camera. For example, a "hot shoe interface" is provided on the camera to achieve fixing to the base frame 10. Specifically, the base frame 10 includes: a fixing frame 11, a first locking member 13, and a first elastic positioning pin 14. The first locking member 13 is located below the rotating shaft 20 and is rotatably fixed to the bottom of the fixing frame 11, so that the threaded end of the first locking member 13 protrudes from the bottom of the fixing frame 11. At the same time, the first elastic positioning pin 14 protrudes from the bottom of the fixing frame 11 through a spring and is located on both sides of the first locking member 13. After the first elastic positioning pin 14 and the camera are positioned, the threaded end of the first locking member 13 can be rotated to achieve threaded fixing with the "hot shoe interface" of the camera, making the installation operation simpler.

[0046] Furthermore, the fixing frame 11 has two bushing portions 12 disposed opposite to each other on both sides. The rotating shaft 20 is rotatably disposed between the two bushing portions 12. The locking assembly 40 is disposed in at least one bushing portion 12. By providing a first limiting member 50 and a fastener 60 in each bushing portion 12, the first limiting member 50 is fixed to both ends of the rotating shaft 20 by the fastener 60, so that the rotating shaft 20 is connected and fixed to the first limiting member 50 and can rotate relative to the bushing portion 12. When the rotating shaft 20 rotates, the first limiting member 50, the fastener 60 and the locking assembly 40 are synchronously driven to rotate within the bushing portion 12.

[0047] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the locking assembly 40 includes a telescopic member 41 and an elastic member 42. The telescopic member 41 is attached between the first limiting member 50 and the bushing portion 12, and the telescopic member 41 and the first limiting member 50 are fixed by fasteners 60, so that the elastic member 42 can rotate synchronously with the telescopic member 41 within the telescopic member 41, and can elastically push the telescopic member 41 to remain in the extended state. In the extended state, a locking protrusion 411 is provided on the side of the telescopic member 41 facing the bushing portion 12, so that the locking protrusion 411 can abut against the bushing portion 12 in the extended state. The bushing portion 12 has a plurality of limiting grooves 121 provided facing the telescopic member 41, so that the locking protrusion 411 is fitted into at least one limiting groove 121 in the extended state. By sequentially connecting multiple limiting grooves 121 around the central axis of the bushing portion 12, when the rotating bracket 30 is rotated under force, the rotating shaft 20 drives the locking protrusion 411 to rotate around the central axis of the bushing portion 12, so that the locking protrusion 411 overcomes the locking force formed by the limiting groove 121 engaging with the locking protrusion 411, thereby allowing the rotating bracket 30 to unlock and rotate in the pitch direction. When the rotating bracket 30 is not rotated under force, the limiting groove 121 engaging with the locking protrusion 411 can lock the telescopic member 41. After the telescopic member 41 is locked, the telescopic member 41 can lock the rotating shaft 20 and the bushing portion 12, ensuring that the rotating shaft 20 will not deviate in the pitch direction, and the load-bearing capacity of the rotating bracket 30 is better.

[0048] As an alternative, the telescopic component 41 can be made of materials such as plastic and can adopt an accordion-style structure to achieve telescopic movement, so that the telescopic component 41 can move axially in its own axial direction to achieve telescopic movement. When the telescopic component 41 is shortened, the locking protrusion 411 can be moved away from the limiting groove 121. When the elastic component 42 elastically holds it in the extended state, the locking protrusion 411 can be engaged in the limiting groove 121, avoiding the positional displacement of the rotating shaft 20 and improving the stability of shooting.

[0049] Reference Figure 5As shown, the rotating shaft 20 has waist-shaped holes 21 on both sides. The first end of the first limiting member 50 passes through the waist-shaped hole 21, and the second end of the first limiting member 50 is attached to the bushing part 12. The first end of the first limiting member 50 has a first plane 51 on its circumferential surface. The first plane 51 is attached and fixed to both sides of the waist-shaped hole 21 in the width direction. The waist-shaped hole 21 and the first plane 51 on both sides of the first limiting member 50 are engaged with each other, so that the rotating shaft 20 can synchronously drive the first limiting member 50 and the locking assembly 40 to rotate when rotating. The angle is locked by the locking assembly 40 to complete the angle adjustment in the pitch direction and ensure that the rotating bracket 30 has a stronger load-bearing capacity.

[0050] Furthermore, the rotating bracket 30 is disposed on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 20, and the rotating bracket 30 is rotatable in the roll direction around its own central axis; the rotating bracket 30 includes: a rotating shaft 31, a second limiting member 32, a support base 33, a second locking member 34, and a second elastic positioning pin 35. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 20, and the second limiting member 32 is rotatably disposed within the rotating shaft 20 and is on the same axis as the rotating shaft 31. The circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 20 has a rotating hole 22 that penetrates in the radial direction. The rotating shaft 31 and the second limiting member 32 are assembled in the rotating hole 22 and can be synchronized. Rotating within the rotating hole 22, the support base 33 is integrally connected to the rotating shaft 31. The second locking member 34 is rotatably mounted on the support base 33 and away from the rotating shaft 31. The threaded end of the second locking member 34 protrudes from the support base 33. The second elastic positioning pin 35 protrudes from the support base 33 via a spring and is located on both sides of the second locking member 34. When installing the phone clip, the second elastic positioning pin 35 can be used for positioning, and then the second locking member 34 can be rotated so that its threaded end can be threaded and fixed with the phone clip, thereby fixing the phone clip on the phone clip and realizing the shooting needs of the camera and phone in one.

[0051] It is understandable that the second limiting member 32 has a second plane on its circumferential surface, and the engaging part of the rotating shaft 31 is engaged and fixed on the second plane. When the support base 33 is rotated, the engaging part and the second plane engage, so that the rotating shaft 31 drives the second limiting member 32 to rotate synchronously through the engaging part, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the rotating bracket 30 in the roll direction, which is simpler and more convenient.

[0052] The camera holder provided by this utility model can fix the base 10 to the camera and fix the mobile phone clip to the rotating bracket 30 so that the mobile phone can be clamped on the mobile phone clip. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the mobile phone, the angle of the roll or pitch direction can be adjusted by rotating the rotating bracket 30. When adjusting the pitch direction angle, the rotating bracket 30 can overcome the locking force of the locking component 40, so that the rotating bracket 30 is unlocked and rotates in the pitch direction. When no force is applied to the rotating bracket 30, the locking component 40 can lock the rotating bracket 30 to ensure that the rotating bracket 30 has a stronger load-bearing capacity in the pitch direction, avoids the mobile phone position from shifting, and can better meet the needs of shooting stability.
