Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic lighting technology, and in particular to a softbox. Background Technology

[0002] A softbox is a tool used to supplement light. When shooting in poor lighting conditions, a softbox can be used to prevent the photos from being too dark and to make them look natural. Softboxes now come in a stowed state and an expanded state. When in the stowed state, the frame is usually bent by squeezing both ends and then fixed by hooks.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent publication CN215642196U discloses a softbox. When in use, the softbox requires squeezing both ends to bring the chuck and locking block closer together. Then, the hook of the tensioning device is attached to the locking block to secure it. This design controls the expansion and contraction of the expansion device by adjusting the connection between fixing device one and fixing device two, greatly simplifying the operation of the softbox. However, when the softbox is too large, the squeezing operation becomes difficult, making it hard to reach the tensioning device and connect it to the fixing block. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a soft light sphere, the specific solution of which is as follows: A soft-focus sphere, comprising the following structure: The first chuck is hollow and has several first chuck slots; The second chuck has several second slots; Several first frames, one end of the first frame is movably connected to a first slot, and the other end is movably connected to a second slot; The third chuck is located between the first chuck and the second chuck, and the third chuck is hollow and has a plurality of third slots. The second frame has one end movably connected to the third chuck and the other end movably connected to the rod of the first frame. The number of the second frame is the same as the number of the first frame and they are connected one by one. A pull cord is provided with a first fixing member, and one end of the pull cord is connected to a second chuck; when the soft light ball is in the expanded state, the first fixing member is connected to the first chuck.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the pull cords are configured as two or more, with one end of all pull cords fixed to a first connector on the second chuck, and the other end of all pull cords fixedly or movably connected to a second connector on the first chuck. Two or more pull cords make the diffuser more stable in its expanded state.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the diffuser ball also includes two or more guide posts, one end of which is fixed to the first chuck and the other end extends toward the second chuck, and the length of the guide post is less than or equal to the distance between the first chuck and the second chuck when the diffuser ball is in the expanded state; The third chuck is provided with a through hole adapted to the guide post, and the guide post passes through the through hole.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the other end of the second frame is movably connected to the rod of the first frame via a movable connection point, the movable connection point being located between the midpoint of the first frame and one end of the first slot.

[0019] In this invention, the terms "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0020] This utility model discloses a soft-focus sphere, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes the following structure: The first chuck 10 is hollow and has a plurality of first slots 11; The second chuck 20 is provided with a plurality of second slots 21, located at the other end opposite to the first chuck 10; Several first skeletons 30, one end of each first skeleton 30 is movably connected to a first slot 11, and the other end is movably connected to a second slot 21; The third chuck 40 is located between the first chuck 10 and the second chuck 20. The third chuck 40 is hollow and has a plurality of third slots 41. The second frame 50 has one end movably connected to the third chuck 40 and the other end movably connected to the rod of the first frame 30. The number of the second frames 50 is the same as the number of the first frames 30 and they are connected one by one. A pull cord 60 is provided with a first fixing member 61, and one end 62 of the pull cord 60 is connected to a second chuck 20; the diffuser ball has two states: a retracted state and an expanded state, as shown in the expanded state... Figure 1 As shown, the storage state is as follows Figure 4 As shown, when the diffuser is in its expanded state, the first fixing member 61 is connected to the first chuck 10. At this time, the pull cord 60 between the first chuck 10 and the second chuck 20 is stretched, stabilizing the expanded state of the diffuser. When the diffuser is in its retracted state, the pull cord 60 is relaxed, as shown... Figure 6 The pull cord is in its folded-out state (60° position) as a reference.

[0021] When the first fixing member 61 is not connected to the first chuck 10, the first frame 30 springs back to a straight or slightly bent state. The third chuck 40 moves towards the second chuck 20. If the third chuck 40 does not move due to various resistances, it can be pushed by hand.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the pull rope 60 is provided as two or more, with one end of all pull ropes 60 fixed to the first connector on the second chuck, and the other end of all pull ropes 60 fixedly or movably connected to the second connector on the first chuck.

[0023] Using two or more 60mm pull cords simultaneously makes the expansion state of the diffuser ball more stable. If there are three or more cords, the stability will be even higher, but the operation will be more complicated, and too many 60mm pull cords will also have some impact on the lighting.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the diffuser ball also includes two or more guide posts 12, one end of which is fixed to the first chuck, and the other end extends toward the second chuck 20. The length of the guide post 12 is less than or equal to the distance between the first chuck and the second chuck 20 when the diffuser ball is in the expanded state. The third chuck 40 is provided with a through hole adapted to the guide post 12, and the guide post 12 passes through the through hole.

[0025] The other end of the second frame 50 is movably connected to the rod of the first frame 30 through a movable connection point, which is located between the midpoint of the first frame 30 and one end of the first slot 11.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, a pull rod 42 is mounted on the third chuck 40.

[0027] As a more preferred embodiment, the third chuck 40 is provided with two fixed blocks, and the two ends of the pull rod 42 are respectively movably connected to the fixed blocks through the rotating shaft. After the pull rod 42 is turned by the rotating shaft, the hollow positions of the first chuck 10 and the third chuck 40 are connected.

[0028] Other solutions include avoiding the lever in the hollow area, thus preventing obstruction of the hollow and allowing the light to illuminate the inside of the diffuser sphere more evenly. Alternatively, the lever can be omitted altogether, and the goal can be achieved by directly pulling the third chuck.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the diffuser also includes a snap-fit ​​body 70, which is fixed to the first chuck. The snap-fit ​​body 70 is a hollow boss with a latch 71. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​body 70 is fixed to the first chuck 10 by a plurality of screws. The diffuser can be fixed to the desired light source via this snap-fit ​​body 70.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the first fixing member 61 is a hook fixed to the pull rope 60, and the first chuck is provided with a locking ring that matches the hook.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the diffuser also includes a third chuck fixing component. When the diffuser is in its expanded state, one end of the third chuck fixing component is connected to the first chuck, and the other end is connected to the third chuck. Specifically, the third chuck fixing component can be a hook of a certain length installed on the first chuck, with the other end hooking onto the third chuck, wherein a corresponding annular or perforated structure can be configured for the connection of the hook; alternatively, it can be a hook of a certain length installed on the third chuck, with the other end hooking onto the first chuck.
