Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of action camera bracket technology, and in particular to an adjustable bracket for action cameras. Background Technology

[0002] Action cameras are highly durable, compact cameras designed specifically for shooting sports and outdoor scenarios. Compact and lightweight: Action cameras are small and lightweight, allowing them to be worn on clothing, wrists, helmets, or mounted on equipment such as bicycles, motorcycles, and surfboards. They allow for handheld shooting, recording footage from the photographer's perspective for an immersive experience. Highly waterproof and durable: To withstand underwater shooting and the impacts of intense sports activities, action cameras are typically highly durable and waterproof. Their compact and robust design makes them easy to use for travel, outdoor activities, and other similar scenarios. Lens features: Action cameras are usually equipped with ultra-wide-angle lenses with a field of view of approximately 100 degrees. Some models can achieve an ultra-wide field of view of 155 degrees with the addition of a lens module, enabling the capture of more impactful images.

[0003] Existing action cameras require the use of height-adjusting brackets to raise the lens due to usage needs. Some height-adjusting brackets can raise the lens, but they cannot center the image well, resulting in poor shooting results. Other brackets that can raise the lens and center it can achieve better shooting results, but they are designed with a lot of reinforcing ribs to support the structure, making the bracket too large and heavy, which is not conducive to use during sports activities. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an adjustable bracket for action cameras, so as to solve the problem that the existing height-adjusting bracket can raise the lens, but cannot center the lens image well, resulting in poor shooting effect.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an adjustable bracket for action cameras, including a base and a bracket mounted on the base;

[0006] The top of the bracket has at least four mounting slots that fit with the camera connection end. Each mounting slot contains a gasket, and there are at least two gaskets. One end of the bracket has a cylindrical groove.

[0007] Optionally, the gasket shape matches the mounting groove.

[0008] Optionally, the bracket has mounting holes at its bottom.

[0009] Optionally, a second screw mounting component is installed at one end of the bracket, and a second nut is fixedly installed at the other end of the bracket. The second nut is located in the cylindrical groove. One end of the second screw mounting component has a screw inserted into the mounting groove and extends to the other end of the bracket. The screw at one end of the second screw mounting component is engaged with the second nut.

[0010] Optionally, the gasket has a through hole that engages with one end of the screw of the second screw mounting component.

[0011] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the embodiments of this utility model have the following advantages:

[0012] 1. The adjustable bracket for action cameras of this utility model adopts a design with at least four mounting slots on the top of the bracket, which breaks the limitation of the single mounting position of the traditional bracket. Users can choose any suitable mounting slot to assemble with the camera connection end according to the centering requirements of the lens image, which fundamentally solves the problem that the existing heightened brackets are difficult to center the lens, resulting in poor shooting effect.

[0013] 2. The adjustable bracket for action cameras of this utility model adopts a pad design. This design serves two purposes: firstly, it fills and protects the empty mounting slots, preventing dust and impurities from entering and causing blockages or wear, thus ensuring the normal use of the mounting slots. Secondly, the pads in the empty mounting slots can serve as backup buffer structures. When it is necessary to change the camera mounting position, there is no need to find additional pads; the pads in the empty slots can be used directly for assembly, improving operational convenience. Moreover, the entire structure does not require additional reinforcing ribs. While achieving lens heightening and centering functions, it effectively controls the overall size and weight of the bracket, making it more suitable for the needs of lightweight portability and flexible use in sports scenarios.

[0014] These features and advantages of the present invention will be disclosed in detail in the following specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the implementation methods without creative effort are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] The adjustable bracket for action cameras according to embodiments of this utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] For easier understanding, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 An embodiment of the adjustable bracket for action cameras provided by this utility model includes a base 1 and a bracket 2 mounted on the base 1.

[0027] The base 1 has a connecting groove 11 on its top, and the bracket 2 is movably connected inside the connecting groove 11;

[0028] The top of the bracket 2 has at least four mounting slots 21, which fit into the connection end of the camera 3. A gasket 25 is installed in the mounting slot 21. There are at least two gaskets 25, and the shape of the gasket 25 fits into the mounting slot 21. A cylindrical groove 27 is provided at one end of the bracket 2.

[0029] It should be noted that the gasket 25 is specifically designed for installation in the empty mounting slot 21. Its shape fits the mounting slot 21 perfectly. On the one hand, it can fill and protect the empty mounting slot 21, preventing dust and impurities from entering the slot and causing blockage or wear, thus ensuring the normal use of the mounting slot 21. On the other hand, the gasket 25 in the empty mounting slot 21 can serve as a spare buffer structure. When it is necessary to change the mounting position of the camera 3, there is no need to search for the gasket 25 separately. The gasket 25 in the empty slot can be directly used for assembly, which improves the convenience of operation. Moreover, the entire structure does not require additional reinforcing ribs. While realizing the lens heightening and centering functions, it effectively controls the overall size and weight of the bracket 2, making it more suitable for the needs of lightweight portability and flexible use in sports scenarios. The cylindrical slot 27 makes it easy to install nuts.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the base 1, the first nut 12, and the first screw mounting component 13 are all common structures in the prior art. Their specific connection method is as follows: the first nut 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the base 1, and the first screw mounting component 13 is installed at the other end of the base 1. The screw at one end of the first screw mounting component 13 is inserted into the connecting groove 11 and extends to one end of the base 1. The screw at one end of the first screw mounting component 13 is engaged with the first nut 12. The bottom of the bracket 2 is provided with a mounting hole 24 that is engaged with the screw at one end of the first screw mounting component 13.

[0031] It should be noted that the first screw mounting part 13 adopts a removable design and can be completely pulled out from the base 1. When it is necessary to install the bracket 2 in the base 1, the bracket 2 is inserted into the connecting groove 11 inside the base 1. Then, one end of the screw of the first screw mounting part 13 is inserted into the base 1, so that one end of the screw of the first screw mounting part 13 passes through the connecting groove 11 and the mounting hole 24 inside the bracket 2 and contacts the first nut 12. Then, by rotating the first screw mounting part 13, the bracket 2 can be clamped and fixed in the connecting groove 11 through the threaded connection between one end of the first screw mounting part 13 and the first nut 12, thereby installing the bracket 2 in the base 1. By rotating the first screw mounting part 13 in the opposite direction, the connection between the bracket 2 and the base 1 can be loosened, thereby allowing the angle of the bracket 2 to be adjusted.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a second screw mounting component 23 is installed at one end of the bracket 2, and a second nut 22 is fixedly installed at the other end of the bracket 2. The second nut 22 is located in the cylindrical groove 27. One end of the screw mounting component 23 is inserted into the mounting groove 21 and extends to the other end of the bracket 2. One end of the screw mounting component 23 is engaged with the second nut 22. A through hole 26 is opened in the washer 25, and the through hole 26 is engaged with one end of the screw mounting component 23.

[0033] It should be noted that the first nut 12 and the second nut 22 are fixedly installed and do not need to be removed from the bracket 2, ensuring the reliability of the camera 3 fixing structure. The second screw mounting part 23 is a removable design and can be completely pulled out from the bracket 2. When it is necessary to install or remove the camera 3, replace the gasket 25, or adjust the mounting angle of the camera 3, rotate the second screw mounting part 23 away from the second nut 22 to disengage the screw from the fixed second nut 22. Then, the second screw mounting part 23 can be pulled out from the bracket 2 and the mounting groove 21. By placing or removing the shim 25 from the empty mounting slot 21 or adjusting the mounting angle of the camera 3, the connecting end of the camera 3 can be quickly placed into the target mounting slot 21. When the camera 3 is installed and fixed, the screw of the second screw mounting part 23 is re-inserted through the mounting slot 21, the through hole 26 in the shim 25 and the connecting end of the camera 3, and the screw is rotated to make it engage with the thread of the fixed second nut 22 and tighten it. The camera 3 is clamped from both ends to ensure that the camera 3 does not fall off during violent movements. This removable design also makes it easy to clean the dust and impurities in the mounting slot 21 and improves the maintenance convenience of the bracket 2.

[0034] In this utility model, the camera 3 is a known component and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, insert the connecting end of camera 3 into the mounting slot 21 according to the offset position of the lens center of camera 3. When the camera 3 is installed and fixed, re-insert the screw of the second screw mounting part 23 through the mounting slot 21, the through hole 26 in the washer 25 and the connecting end of camera 3. Rotate the screw to make it threadedly engage with the fixed second nut 22 and tighten it. Clamp camera 3 from both ends to ensure that camera 3 will not fall off during violent movement. Then insert bracket 2 into the connecting slot 11 in base 1. Then insert one end of the screw of the first screw mounting part 13 into base 1, so that one end of the screw of the first screw mounting part 13 passes through the connecting slot 11 and the mounting hole 24 inside bracket 2 and contacts the first nut 12. Then, by rotating the first screw mounting part 13, the screw of the first screw mounting part 13 can be threadedly connected to the first nut 12, thereby clamping and fixing bracket 2 in the connecting slot 11.
