Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic equipment technology, and in particular to a selfie stick that automatically unfolds upon contact with the ground. Background Technology

[0002] A selfie stick is a telescopic pole used to extend the shooting range of photographic equipment (such as smartphones, cameras, or action cameras). Some selfie sticks on the market can be unfolded and placed on the ground, and can be remotely connected to the shooting equipment via a remote control for convenient selfies. Existing selfie sticks mainly consist of a central pole, support poles, and a fixing device (such as a clamp). The fixing device is used to secure the photographic equipment, and the support poles are usually configured with three poles that can rotate synchronously relative to the central pole to unfold or retract. However, unfolding the support poles requires holding the central pole with one hand and flipping the support poles with the other, which is quite inconvenient. How to achieve rapid unfolding of the selfie stick is a research direction for technicians. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a selfie stick that automatically unfolds upon touching the ground, in order to solve the problem that existing selfie sticks require one hand to hold the center rod and the other hand to flip the support rod when unfolding, which is very inconvenient.

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

[0005] A selfie stick that automatically unfolds upon contact with the ground includes a central column and a support rod assembly. The support rod assembly can be folded inwards and retracted onto the central column or unfolded outwards relative to it. The lower end of the central column is provided with a locking seat that can move up and down relative to it. When the support rod assembly is retracted onto the central column, the locking seat abuts against the support rod assembly downwards to restrict its unfolding. In the retracted state, the bottom surface of the locking seat is lower than the support rod assembly. The locking seat can move upwards relative to the central column to release the support rod assembly. A driving member is provided between the central column and the support rod assembly. When the locking seat moves upwards to release the support rod assembly, the driving member drives the support rod assembly to unfold outwards.

[0006] Furthermore, the support rod assembly includes a sliding sleeve, an inner support rod, and a ground support rod. The sliding sleeve passes through the central column, and the ground support rod is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve. The inner support rod is rotatably connected to both the ground support rod and the central column. The sliding sleeve can move up and down along the central column, causing the inner support rod and the ground support rod to fold inward and retract onto the central column or fold outward and unfold. When the support rod assembly is retracted onto the central column, the locking seat abuts against the ground support rod downward, restricting the ground support rod from unfolding outward. The driving member is located on the central column and abuts against both the inner support rod and the central column. When the driving member moves up the locking seat to release the ground support rod, it drives the inner support rod and the ground support rod to unfold outward.

[0007] Furthermore, an elastic element is provided between the central column and the locking seat, and the locking seat is driven by the elastic element to abut against the ground support rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking seat is provided with an upper abutment and the ground support rod is provided with a lower abutment. The upper abutment abuts against the lower abutment when the support rod assembly is retracted onto the central column, and disengages from the lower abutment when the locking seat moves upward.

[0009] Furthermore, the central post and the locking seat together form a receiving cavity, and the elastic element is housed in the receiving cavity and abuts against the central post and the locking seat respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the central column is provided with a guide rod that extends into the accommodating cavity, the locking seat is slidably connected to the guide rod, the lower end of the guide rod is provided with a stop bar that restricts the locking seat from sliding away from the guide rod, and the elastic element passes through the guide rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking seat has a guide ring surrounding the central column, and the guide ring has a clearance groove through which the inner support rod passes.

[0012] Furthermore, the central column has a rotating shaft that is rotatably connected to the inner support rod, and the driving member passes through the rotating shaft and abuts against the inner support rod and the central column respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, the drive member has a lower abutment arm that abuts against the inner support rod, and the inner support rod is provided with a limiting groove for the lower abutment arm to be inserted.

[0014] Furthermore, a Bluetooth module is detachably and fixedly connected to the support rod assembly, and the support rod assembly is provided with a slot in which the Bluetooth module is inserted.

[0015] The advantage of this technical solution is that by configuring a locking seat at the lower end of the central column that can move up and down relative to lock or release the support rod assembly, and by configuring a driving component between the central column and the support rod assembly that causes the support rod assembly to quickly unfold outward when the locking seat releases the support rod assembly, since the bottom surface of the locking seat is lower than the support rod assembly in the retracted state, and the locking seat moves up to release the support rod assembly, when the user needs to unfold the selfie stick that automatically unfolds upon touching the ground, he only needs to place the locking seat on the ground to achieve the rapid unfolding of the support rod assembly. It is easy and simple to operate with one hand. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example: Figure 1-7As shown, the selfie stick that automatically unfolds upon contact with the ground includes a central column 1 and a support rod assembly 2. The support rod assembly 2 can be folded inwards onto the central column 1 or unfolded outwards. A locking seat 3, movable vertically relative to the central column 1, is located at the lower end of the central column 1. When the support rod assembly 2 is folded onto the central column 1, the locking seat 3 presses downwards against the support rod assembly 2 to restrict its unfolding. In the folded state, the bottom surface of the locking seat 3 is lower than the support rod assembly 2, and the locking seat 3 can move upwards relative to the central column 1 to release the support rod assembly 2. A driving member 5 is provided between the central column 1 and the support rod assembly 2. When the locking seat 3 moves upwards to release the support rod assembly 2, the driving member 5 drives the support rod assembly 2 to unfold outwards. The state where the support rod assembly 2 is folded onto the central column 1 is defined as the folded state, and the state where the support rod assembly 2 is unfolded is defined as the unfolded state. In the folded state, the support rod assembly 2 is folded onto the central column 1, and the locking seat 3 presses down against the support rod assembly 2, locking the support rod assembly 2 onto the central column 1. Since the bottom surface of the locking seat 3 is lower than the support rod assembly 2 when it is folded up, and the locking seat 3 can move upward relative to the central column 1 to release the support rod assembly 2, the driving component 5 causes the support rod assembly 2 to quickly unfold outward when the locking seat 3 moves upward to release the support rod assembly 2. Therefore, when the user needs to unfold the selfie stick that automatically unfolds when it touches the ground, he only needs to place the locking seat 3 against the ground (when the locking seat 3 is against the ground, the central column 1 moves downward relative to the locking seat 3 under the action of gravity, so that the locking seat 3 moves upward relative to the central column 1 to unlock, and the support rod assembly 2 unfolds quickly under the drive of the driving component 5). This allows for one-handed operation and is convenient and simple.

[0027] In summary, this embodiment provides a selfie stick that automatically unfolds upon contact with the ground, solving the problem that existing selfie sticks require one hand to hold the central post and the other to flip the support post when unfolding, which is very inconvenient. This is mainly achieved by configuring a locking seat 3 at the lower end of the central post 1, which can move up and down relative to lock or release the support rod assembly 2. A driving component 5 is configured between the central post 1 and the support rod assembly 2, causing the support rod assembly 2 to quickly unfold outwards when the locking seat 3 releases it. Since the bottom surface of the locking seat 3 is lower than the support rod assembly 2 in the retracted state, and the locking seat 3 moves upwards to release the support rod assembly 2, when the user needs to unfold this selfie stick that automatically unfolds upon contact with the ground, they only need to place the locking seat 3 against the ground to achieve rapid unfolding of the support rod assembly 2. This allows for one-handed operation and is convenient and simple.

[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, the support rod assembly 2 includes a sliding sleeve 201, an inner support rod 202, and a ground support rod 203. The sliding sleeve 201 passes through the central column 1, and the ground support rod 203 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve 201. The inner support rod 202 is rotatably connected to the ground support rod 203 and the central column 1 respectively. The sliding sleeve 201 can move up and down along the central column 1 to cause the inner support rod 202 and the ground support rod 203 to fold inward and retract onto the central column 1 or fold outward and unfold. When the support rod assembly 2 is retracted onto the central column 1, the locking seat 3 abuts against the ground support rod 203 downward and restricts the ground support rod 203 from unfolding outward. The driving member 5 is provided on the central column 1 and abuts against the inner support rod 202 and the central column 1 respectively. When the driving member 5 moves up the locking seat 3 to release the ground support rod 203, it causes the inner support rod 202 to unfold outward. The outward unfolding of the inner support rod 202 drives the ground support rod 203 to unfold outward. More specifically, the upper end of the ground support rod 203 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve 201, and one end of the inner support rod 202 is rotatably connected to the middle of the ground support rod 203, while the other end is rotatably connected to the lower end of the central column 1. This configuration, by assigning the support rod assembly 2 to the sliding sleeve 201, the inner support rod 202, and the ground support rod 203, with the sliding sleeve 201 passing through the central column 1 and the ground support rod 203 rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve 201, and the inner support rod 202 rotatably connected to both the ground support rod 203 and the central column 1, allows the support rod assembly 2 to fold inwards onto the central column 1 or unfold outwards. This design is simple in structure and easy to implement. Simultaneously, by positioning the driving component 5 on the central column 1 and abutting against both the inner support rod 202 and the central column 1, the support rod assembly 2 can quickly unfold outwards when the locking seat 3 moves upwards to release the ground support rod 203, resulting in fast and stable driving.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, an elastic element 6 is provided between the central column 1 and the locking seat 3. The locking seat 3 is driven by the elastic element 6 to move downward and abut against the ground support rod 203. Specifically, the elastic element 6 is a spring. The above arrangement, by configuring the elastic element 6 between the central column 1 and the locking seat 3, allows the locking seat 3 to move upward to release the ground support rod 203, and at the same time, it can move downward to abut against the ground support rod 203 to restrict the outward unfolding of the ground support rod 203.

[0030] In this embodiment of the utility model, the locking seat 3 is provided with an upper abutment 301, and the ground support rod 203 is provided with a lower abutment 204. The upper abutment 301 and the lower abutment 204 are arranged vertically, with the upper abutment 301 positioned higher and the lower abutment 204 positioned lower. When the support rod assembly 2 is retracted onto the central column 1, the upper abutment 301 abuts against the lower abutment 204 to restrict the ground support rod 203 from unfolding outwards. When the locking seat 3 moves upwards, the upper abutment 301 disengages from the lower abutment 204 to release the ground support rod 203. The above arrangement, by configuring the upper abutment 301 on the locking seat 3 and the lower abutment 204 on the ground support rod 203, allows the upper abutment 301 to abut against the lower abutment 204 when the support rod assembly 2 is retracted onto the central column 1, and to disengage from the lower abutment 204 when the locking seat 3 moves upwards, thus enabling the locking seat 3 to lock or release the ground support rod 203 when moving up and down relative to the central column 1. The locking structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the central post 1 and the locking seat 3 together form a receiving cavity 7, and the elastic member 6 is housed in the receiving cavity 7 and abuts against the central post 1 and the locking seat 3 respectively. This arrangement, by placing the elastic member 6 within the receiving cavity 7 formed by the central post 1 and the locking seat 3, ensures stable assembly of the elastic member 6.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, a guide rod 101 extending into the receiving cavity 7 is provided at the bottom of the central column 1. The locking seat 3 is slidably connected to the guide rod 101, and a stop rod 8 is provided at the lower end of the guide rod 101 to prevent the locking seat 3 from sliding away from the guide rod 101. Specifically, the stop rod 8 is threadedly connected to the guide rod 101. This arrangement, by configuring the guide rod 101 extending into the receiving cavity 7 at the bottom of the central column 1, slidably connecting the locking seat 3 to the guide rod 101, and providing the stop rod 8 at the lower end of the guide rod 101 to prevent the locking seat 3 from sliding away from the guide rod 101, ensures smooth movement of the locking seat 3 and stable assembly with the central column 1.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the elastic element 6 passes through the guide rod 101. This arrangement, by configuring the elastic element 6 to pass through the guide rod 101, ensures stable assembly of the elastic element 6.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the locking seat 3 has a guide ring 302 surrounding the central post 1, and the guide ring 302 has a clearance groove 303 for the inner support rod 202 to pass through. This arrangement, by configuring the guide ring 302 surrounding the central post 1 on the locking seat 3, ensures smooth movement of the locking seat 3 and stable assembly with the central post 1. Simultaneously, by configuring the clearance groove 303 on the guide ring 302 for the inner support rod 202 to pass through, interference between the locking seat 3 and the inner support rod 202 is avoided when the locking seat 3 moves up and down.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the central column 1 has a rotating shaft 102 rotatably connected to the inner support rod 202. A driving member 5 passes through the rotating shaft 102 and abuts against both the inner support rod 202 and the central column 1. Specifically, the driving member 5 is a torsion spring. This arrangement, by placing the inner support rod 202 and the driving member 5 on the rotating shaft 102, makes the relative positions of the central column 1, the inner support rod 202, and the driving member 5 compact and reasonable.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the driving member 5 has a lower abutment arm 501 that abuts against the inner support rod 202, and the inner support rod 202 is provided with a limiting groove 205 for inserting the lower abutment arm 501. The above arrangement, by configuring the limiting groove 205 on the inner support rod 202 for inserting the lower abutment arm 501, makes the assembly of the driving member 5 stable.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, a Bluetooth module 9 is detachably and fixedly connected to the support rod assembly 2. The support rod assembly 2 has a slot 206 into which the Bluetooth module 9 is inserted. This arrangement, by configuring the Bluetooth module 9 on the support rod assembly 2, facilitates remote control of the photography equipment clamped to the selfie stick that automatically unfolds upon contact with the ground, making operation convenient.
