[0009] like Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment of this application proposes a selfie stick 100 that is easy to operate with the index finger. This selfie stick 100 is used to support an external device 200 (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 1, see Embodiment 2). Figure 14 (As shown) to take pictures, the external device 200 includes electronic devices with camera functions such as mobile phones, tablets, and camera equipment.
[0010] like Figure 1 As shown, the selfie stick 100 includes a clamping assembly 10, a telescopic mechanism 20, a grip 30, a shooting button 40, and a support member 70, wherein the clamping assembly 10 is used to clamp the external device 200. For ease of description of the orientation of the selfie stick 100 in this solution, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the side where the external device 200 is located is the first side A. The main surface 10a of the clamping assembly 10 on the surface of the first side A is used to abut against the external device 200. The side where the surface of the clamping assembly 10 opposite to the main surface 10a is located is the second side B. The first side A and the second side B are two oppositely positioned locations of the selfie stick 100. Figure 1 As shown, the support member 70 includes a base 71 and a first connecting portion 72 connected to the base 71. The end of the base 71 away from the first connecting portion 72 is connected to the clamping assembly 10. The telescopic mechanism 20 includes a telescopic rod 21 and a second connecting portion 22 located at one end of the telescopic rod 21. The second connecting portion 22 is connected to the first connecting portion 72. The telescopic rod 21 can be extended and shortened to adjust the length of the selfie stick 100. The handle 30 is connected to the end of the telescopic rod 21 away from the second connecting portion 22 and is used for user gripping. The handle 30 is located on the second side B. The selfie stick 100 has a stepped portion 31, which is a protruding structure facing the second side B (the grip 30 has an upper end surface near the second connecting portion 22, and the portion protruding from the upper end surface of the grip 30 is defined as the stepped portion 31). The stepped portion 31 includes a first surface 31a for abutting against the user's index finger. The first surface 31a is at least a portion of the surface of the stepped portion 31 near the second connecting portion 22. A shooting button 40 is provided on the first surface 31a and is used by the user's index finger to control the external device 200 to take a picture. In this embodiment, when the axis PP' of the base 71 coincides with or is parallel to the axis PP' of the grip 30, the main surface 10a and the stepped portion 31 are always located on opposite sides of the selfie stick 100. The shooting button 40 is provided on the first surface 31a of the stepped portion 31, which is convenient for the user's index finger to control the external device 200 to take a picture.
[0011] From the side closer to the second connecting portion 22 to the side farther away from the second connecting portion 22, the distance between at least a portion of the first surface 31a and the axis PP' of the grip 30 gradually increases. Alternatively, the first surface 31a is perpendicular to the axis PP' of the grip 30. This allows the first surface 31a to provide sufficient support for the user's index finger when pressing the shutter button 40, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of pressing the shutter button 40.
[0012] In this embodiment, the first side A and the second side B are the two opposite sides of the selfie stick 100. For ease of understanding, the description uses two oppositely arranged surfaces of the clamping component 10, and does not mean that the first side A and the second side B merely refer to the two opposite sides of the clamping component 10. The clamping component 10 can clamp the external device 200 using a clamping structure, or it can fix the external device 200 using magnetic attraction, or it can fix the external device 200 using other methods such as snap-fit. This application does not impose any limitations. In this embodiment, the base 71 is a long strip structure, but it can also be cylindrical or other shapes. The axis PP' of the base 71 is consistent with its length direction. When the selfie stick 100 is in a vertical state, the axis PP' of the base 71 is parallel to or coincides with the axis PP' of the telescopic rod 21 along the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the first connecting part 72 can be arc-shaped, L-shaped, or it can be an extension of the base 71 along its length direction. This application does not impose any limitations. The connection between the first connecting part 72 and the second connecting part 22 can be a fixed connection, a rotating connection to achieve the flipping of the support member 70, or other connection methods. This application does not impose any restrictions.
[0013] For ease of understanding, in this application, when a user uses the selfie stick 100, the orientation of one side of the clamping assembly 10 clamping the external device 200 is defined as the first side A, and the other side is defined as the second side B. It can be understood that the first side A and the second side B are located on opposite sides of the selfie stick 100, and other components such as the telescopic mechanism 20, the grip 30, and the support 70 all have outer surfaces located on the first side A and the second side B. To facilitate operation with the user's index finger and reduce the shaking caused by pressing the shooting button with the thumb or other fingers on existing selfie sticks, this application places the shooting button 40 on the second side B of the grip 30, specifically on the first surface 31a of the step portion 31. When the user extends the selfie stick 100 to take a picture, when the axis PP' of the base 71 coincides with or is parallel to the axis PP' of the grip 30, no matter how it rotates, the main surface 10a of the clamping component 10 and the step portion 31 are always on opposite sides. That is, the clamping component 10 can only bend and rotate relative to the grip 30, but cannot rotate around the axis PP' of the telescopic rod 21 or the grip 30. This ensures that the shooting button 40 is always in the opposite direction to the main surface 10a of the clamping component 10, making it convenient for the user to quickly operate with their index finger when holding the grip 30.
[0014] Of course, such as Figure 3 As shown, the grip 30 has a sub-surface 30a, which is the surface of the grip 30 located on the second side B near the second connecting part 22, and the sub-surface 30a is connected to the step part 31; the shooting button 40 can also be provided on the sub-surface 30a of the grip 30.
[0015] Compared to existing technologies, the selfie stick 100 provided in this application, which is easy to operate with the index finger, has a step portion 31 on the second side B of the handle 30, and a shooting button 40 is provided on the first surface 31a of the step portion 31 near the second connecting portion 22. Thus, when the user's palm holds the handle 30, since the step portion 31 is always positioned opposite to the main surface 10a of the clamping component 10, the index finger can abut against the step portion 31. During use, the user can touch or press the shooting button 40 with a slight force of the index finger to take a picture. This can avoid the situation where the user's finger moves too much and the shaking when holding the selfie stick 100 affects the shooting effect, thus improving the user experience.
[0016] like Figures 4-8 The selfie stick 100 shown has a stepped portion 31, which is a protruding structure on the grip 30. In this application, the stepped portion 31 only needs to be a structure that creates a height difference with the surface of the grip 30 on the second side B, thus fulfilling the function of accommodating and abutting the index finger. It is understood that the stepped portion 31 has a certain shape and structure, and may have one, two, or more surfaces, with at least a portion of the surface of the stepped portion 31 near the second connecting portion 22 defined as the aforementioned first surface 31a. The specific shape and structure of the stepped portion 31 may include, but is not limited to, the following:
[0017] like Figure 4As shown, in the first case, the distance between the first surface 31a and the axis PP' of the handle 30 gradually increases from the side closer to the second connecting portion 22 to the side farther from the second connecting portion 22; the stepped portion 31 also includes a second surface 31b, which is connected to the first surface 31a and the surface of the handle 30 located on the second side B, and the distance between the second surface 31b and the axis PP' of the handle 30 gradually decreases from the side closer to the second connecting portion 22 to the side farther from the second connecting portion 22. At this time, the step portion 31 has two surfaces (i.e., the first surface 31a and the second surface 31b). The first surface 31a can extend from the upper end surface of the handle 30 away from the second connecting portion 22. The first surface 31a can also extend away from the second connecting portion 22 after being spaced a certain distance from the upper end surface of the handle 30. The second surface 31b can extend from the side connected to the first surface 31a away from the second connecting portion 22 to connect with the lower end surface of the handle 30. The second surface 31b can also extend from the side connected to the first surface 31a away from the second connecting portion 22 to be spaced a certain distance from the lower end surface of the handle 30.
[0018] like Figure 5 As shown, in the second case, the first surface 31a is perpendicular to the axis PP' of the grip 30; the step portion 31 also includes a second surface 31b, which is connected to the first surface 31a and the surface of the grip 30 located on the second side B, and the distance between the second surface 31b and the axis PP' of the grip 30 gradually decreases from the side closer to the second connecting portion 22 to the side farther away from the second connecting portion 22. At this time, the step portion 31 has two surfaces (i.e., the first surface 31a and the second surface 31b). The first surface 31a can extend from the upper end surface of the handle 30 in a direction away from the axis PP' of the handle 30 (i.e., extend outward along the radial direction of the handle 30). The first surface 31a can also extend in a direction away from the axis PP' of the handle 30 after being spaced a certain distance from the upper end surface of the handle 30 (i.e., extend outward along the radial direction of the handle 30). The second surface 31b can extend from the side connected to the first surface 31a in a direction away from the second connecting portion 22 to connect with the lower end surface of the handle 30. The second surface 31b can also extend from the side connected to the first surface 31a in a direction away from the second connecting portion 22 to be spaced a certain distance from the lower end surface of the handle 30.
[0019] like Figure 6As shown, in the third case, the distance between the first surface 31a and the axis PP' of the handle 30 gradually increases from the side closer to the second connecting portion 22 to the side farther from the second connecting portion 22; the stepped portion 31 also includes a second surface 31b and a third surface 31c. The second surface 31b is connected to the first surface 31a, and the distance between the second surface 31b and the axis PP' of the handle 30 remains unchanged from the side closer to the second connecting portion 22 to the side farther from the second connecting portion 22. The third surface 31c is connected to the second surface 31b and the surface of the handle 30 located on the second side B, and the third surface 31c is perpendicular to the axis PP' of the handle 30. At this time, the step portion 31 includes three surfaces (i.e., the first surface 31a, the second surface 31b, and the third surface 31c). The first surface 31a can extend from the upper end surface of the handle 30 away from the second connecting portion 22. The first surface 31a can also extend away from the second connecting portion 22 after being spaced a certain distance from the upper end surface of the handle 30. The second surface 31b can extend from the side connected to the first surface 31a away from the second connecting portion 22 to connect with the lower end surface of the handle 30. At this time, the third surface 31c is flush with the lower end surface of the handle 30. The second surface 31b can also extend from the side connected to the first surface 31a away from the second connecting portion 22 to be spaced a certain distance from the lower end surface of the handle 30. At this time, the third surface 31c is spaced from the lower end surface of the handle 30.
[0020] like Figure 7As shown, in the fourth case, the first surface 31a is perpendicular to the axis PP' of the grip 30; the step portion 31 also includes a second surface 31b and a third surface 31c. The second surface 31b is connected to the first surface 31a, and the distance between the second surface 31b and the axis PP' of the grip 30 remains unchanged from the side near the second connecting portion 22 to the side away from the second connecting portion 22. The third surface 31c is connected to the second surface 31b and the surface of the grip 30 located on the second side B, and the third surface 31c is perpendicular to the axis PP' of the grip 30 (that is, the third surface 31c is parallel to the first surface 31a). At this time, the step portion 31 includes three surfaces (i.e., the first surface 31a, the second surface 31b, and the third surface 31c). The first surface 31a can extend from the upper end surface of the handle 30 in a direction away from the axis PP' of the handle 30 (i.e., extend outward along the radial direction of the handle 30). The first surface 31a can also extend in a direction away from the axis PP' of the handle 30 after being spaced a certain distance from the upper end surface of the handle 30 (i.e., extend outward along the radial direction of the handle 30). The second surface 31b can extend from the side connected to the first surface 31a in a direction away from the second connecting portion 22 until it connects with the lower end surface of the handle 30. At this time, the third surface 31c is flush with the lower end surface of the handle 30. The second surface 31b can also extend from the side connected to the first surface 31a in a direction away from the second connecting portion 22 until it is also spaced a certain distance from the lower end surface of the handle 30. At this time, the third surface 31c is spaced from the lower end surface of the handle 30.
[0021] like Figure 8 As shown, in the fifth case, the first surface 31a is an arcuate surface that curves toward or away from the axis PP' of the handle 30 (applicable to cases where the step portion 31 includes at least the first surface 31a). Specifically, when the first surface 31a is an arcuate surface that curves toward the axis PP' of the handle 30, the distance between the first surface 31a and the axis PP' of the handle 30 can gradually increase or decrease first and then increase from the side closer to the second connecting portion 22 to the side farther from the second connecting portion 22; when the first surface 31a is an arcuate surface that curves away from the axis PP' of the handle 30, the distance between the first surface 31a and the axis PP' of the handle 30 can gradually increase or increase first and then decrease.
[0022] It should be noted that the step portion 31 may also include other surfaces such as a fourth surface, a fifth surface, or a sixth surface. This is not limited here, and designers can make reasonable designs according to actual needs.
[0023] It should be noted that when the first surface 31a extends away from the upper surface of the handle 30 after being spaced a certain distance from the second connecting part 22, and the second surface 31b extends away from the second connecting part 22 from the side connected to the first surface 31a to being spaced a certain distance from the lower surface of the handle 30, the step part 31 divides the surface of the handle 30 on the second side B into two parts, so that the handle 30 has two surfaces connected to the step part 31 on the surface of the second side B. The surface of the handle 30 near the second connecting part 22 is defined as the sub-surface 30a, that is, the surface of the handle 30 near the second connecting part 22 located on the second side B is the sub-surface 30a, and the sub-surface 30a is connected to the step part 31. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first surface 31a on the step portion 31 of the selfie stick 100 can abut against the user's index finger, providing support and sharing some of the pressure between the selfie stick 100 and the external device 200; at the same time, the first surface 31a can also serve as an identification function, allowing the user to feel the presence of the step portion 31 when their index finger abuts against it, thereby locating the approximate position of the shooting button 40 for operation.
[0024] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the shooting button 40 and the grip 30 can be either detached or non-detached.
[0025] When the shooting button 40 and the grip 30 are detachably connected, the shooting button 40 can be detachably mounted on the step portion 31, while the step portion 31 is non-detachably mounted on the grip 30. The detachable connection can be a snap-fit connection, a magnetic connection, or a screw connection, as long as it allows the shooting button 40 to be removed from the step portion 31. This detachable connection allows the shooting button 40 to be separated from the step portion 31 during use, facilitating user control of the shooting from a certain distance, making it more practical and convenient.
[0026] When the shooting button 40 and the grip 30 are detachably connected, the step portion 31 can be detachably mounted to the grip 30, while the shooting button 40 is not detachably mounted to the step portion 31. Specifically, a portion of the step portion 31 (i.e., the second part 312 described below) can be detachable, or the entire step portion 31 can be detachable. The detachable connection can be a snap-fit connection, a magnetic connection, or a screw connection, etc. Specifically, the step portion 31 includes a first part 311 and a second part 312. The first part 311 is connected to the grip 30, and the second part 312 is detachably connected to the first part 311 via a positioning structure 313, and the second part 312 has the aforementioned first surface 31a. The positioning structure 313 includes at least one of a first positioning unit 313a, a second positioning unit 313b, and a third positioning unit 313c disposed on the first part 311 and the second part 312. The first positioning unit 313a is used to restrict the second part 312 from moving relative to the first part 311 along a first direction, the second positioning unit 313b is used to restrict the second part 312 from moving relative to the first part 311 along a second direction, and the third positioning unit 313c is used to restrict the second part 312 from moving relative to the first part 311 along a third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect each other. The first part 311 is integrally formed with the grip 30 by injection molding or 3D printing. The first positioning unit 313a includes a first protrusion and a first groove. The first protrusion is disposed on one of the first portion 311 and the second portion 312, and the first groove is disposed on the other of the first portion 311 and the second portion 312. The surface of the first protrusion in a first direction abuts against the first groove, thereby restricting the movement of the second portion 312 relative to the first portion 311 in the first direction. The second positioning unit 313b includes a second protrusion and a second groove. The second protrusion is disposed on one of the first portion 311 and the second portion 312, and the second groove is disposed on the other of the first portion 311 and the second portion 312. Firstly, the surface of the second protrusion in the second direction abuts against the second groove, thereby restricting the movement of the second part 312 relative to the first part 311 in the second direction. The third positioning unit 313c includes a third protrusion and a third groove. The third protrusion is disposed on one of the first part 311 and the second part 312, and the third groove is disposed on the other of the first part 311 and the second part 312. The surface of the third protrusion in the third direction abuts against the third groove, thereby restricting the movement of the second part 312 relative to the first part 311 in the third direction. Furthermore, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are mutually perpendicular. It should be noted that when the positioning structure 313 includes one of the first positioning unit 313a, the second positioning unit 313b, and the third positioning unit 313c, the first (second / third) protrusion and the first (second / third) groove engage to achieve relative fixation of the position between the second part 312 and the first part 311.When the positioning structure 313 includes multiple of the first positioning unit 313a, the second positioning unit 313b, and the third positioning unit 313c, the protrusions and grooves of at least one of the first positioning unit 313a, the second positioning unit 313b, and the third positioning unit 313c engage to achieve relative fixation of the position between the second part 312 and the first part 311. By designing the second part 312, which carries the shooting button 40, to be detachably connected to the first part 311, the user can remove the shooting button 40 from the grip 30 for long-distance shooting as needed. Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning structure 313 may also include a screw (not shown in the figure) and a threaded hole (not shown in the figure), with the threaded hole provided on the first part 311, and the screw passing through the second part 312 and connected to the threaded hole to achieve relative fixation of the position between the second part 312 and the first part 311. The positioning structure 313 may also include wedge blocks, springs, or other structures, which are not limited here.
[0027] When the shooting button 40 and the grip 30 are detachably connected, the shooting button 40 can also be detachably mounted on the step portion 31, and the step portion 31 can be detachably mounted on the grip 30. The disassembly method described above will not be repeated here.
[0028] When the shooting button 40 and the grip 30 are non-detachably connected, the shooting button 40 is non-detachably mounted on the step portion 31, and the step portion 31 is also non-detachably mounted on the grip 30. That is, the shooting button 40 is fixedly connected to the step portion 31, which can be done in a one-piece molding manner, or by other methods such as adhesive or laser welding; this application does not impose any restrictions. Using a non-detachable connection method allows for better product assembly, improves production assembly efficiency, thereby reducing product production costs, while ensuring a secure connection between the step portion 31 and the grip 30.
[0029] It is understandable that, in order for the product to better control the external device 200 for shooting, the selfie stick 100 also includes a wireless connection module 50 (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 1, but its structure can be seen in Embodiment 3) located in the second part 312 of the step portion 31. Figure 23 ) and battery assembly (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 1, but the structure can be seen in Embodiment 3). Figure 23The wireless connection module 50 is wirelessly connected to the external device 200 and controls the external device 200 to take pictures via the shooting button 40. The battery assembly is electrically connected to the wireless connection module 50 to power the wireless connection module 50. In this embodiment, a Bluetooth module is used as an example to connect to the external device 200 and control it to take pictures via the shooting button 40. Of course, in other embodiments, other wireless connection methods can be used to connect to and control the external device 200. This utility model does not impose any limitations. In order to reduce the product size, the battery 60 in the battery assembly in this embodiment is powered by a button battery. Of course, in other embodiments, it can be a rechargeable battery or a dry cell battery, etc. This application does not impose any limitations. In this embodiment, the shooting button 40 can be a mechanical button or a touch button, as long as it can control the external device 200 to take pictures after being touched and pressed. Setting up a wireless connection module 50 and a battery assembly can realize wireless connection to the external device 200 for video recording and improve product portability. There is no need to lay wires in the product, which effectively reduces product costs. Of course, in some other embodiments, the selfie stick 100 also includes a circuit board (not shown in the figure), with a wireless connection module 50 and other functions integrated on the circuit board. Specifically, the battery assembly includes a mounting bracket 80 and a battery 60 that are detachably mounted on the second part 312. The second part 312 of the stepped portion 31 is provided with a mounting opening 35 (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 1, but the structure can be seen in Embodiment 4). Figure 31 More specifically, the mounting opening 35 is located on the side of the second portion 312 of the stepped portion 31, and the mounting member 80 is located in the inner cavity of the second portion 312 of the stepped portion 31. The mounting member 80 includes a mounting plate 81 for mounting the battery 60 (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 1, but the structure can be seen in Embodiment 4). Figure 31 ) and the cover plate 82 connected to the mounting plate 81 (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 1, but its structure can be seen in Embodiment 4). Figure 31 The cover plate 82 is provided at the mounting opening 35 to achieve a seal. In order to facilitate the disassembly of the mounting part 80, a beveled notch is also provided at the mounting opening 35 for easy disassembly by the user.
[0030] like Figures 11-14 As shown, the second embodiment of this application proposes a selfie stick 100 that is easy to operate with the index finger. It is understood that the design of the step portion 31 of the selfie stick 100 in the second embodiment is the same as that of the step portion 31 of the selfie stick 100 in the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. The following will elaborate on the structural differences between the selfie stick 100 in the second embodiment and the selfie stick 100 in the first embodiment.
[0031] like Figure 11As shown, the support member 70 and the clamping assembly 10 form a connecting mechanism. The first connecting part 72 and the second connecting part 22 are rotatably connected so that when the telescopic rod 21 is in the retracted state and located in the handle 30, the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 can switch between an unfolded use state and a folded storage state. The end of the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 closest to the first connecting part 72 and the second connecting part 22 is their respective first end, and the end of the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 furthest from the first connecting part 72 and the second connecting part 22 is their respective second end, and the first end and the second end are arranged opposite to each other. The selfie stick 100 also includes a locking assembly 90, which includes a latch 91 and a lock 92. The latch 91 is disposed on one of the second end of the connecting mechanism and the second end of the handle 30, and the lock 92 is disposed on the other of the second end of the connecting mechanism and the second end of the handle 30. When the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 are in the storage state, the latch 91 and the lock 92 are connected to lock the connecting mechanism to the handle 30.
[0032] like Figures 11-14 As shown, the selfie stick 100 includes a handle 30, a connecting mechanism, and a locking component 90.
[0033] The grip 30 serves as the handle of the selfie stick 100, for the user to hold. The specific shape of the grip 30 is not limited here; designers can design it appropriately according to actual needs. For example, the shape of the cross-section of the grip 30 along the direction perpendicular to its central axis PP' can be, but is not limited to, rectangular or semi-circular. The specific material of the grip 30 is not limited here; designers can choose appropriately according to actual needs. For example, the material of the grip 30 can be, but is not limited to, plastic or rubber.
[0034] The connecting mechanism, serving as the connection structure of the selfie stick 100, is used to mount the external device 200 and provide support for it. The connecting mechanism includes the aforementioned clamping assembly 10 and the aforementioned support member 70. The specific structure of the connecting mechanism will be described in detail below.
[0035] The connecting mechanism and the grip 30 are rotatably connected through the first connecting part 72 and the second connecting part 22, making the opening angle between the connecting mechanism and the grip 30 adjustable. The method of rotatable connection between the connecting mechanism and the grip 30 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. It should be noted that the connecting mechanism and the grip 30 can be a damped rotatable connection, which is used to achieve stable rotation and support at multiple angles between the connecting mechanism and the grip 30.
[0036] The end of the connecting mechanism and the grip 30 closest to the first connecting part 72 and the second connecting part 22 is the first end of each, and the end of the connecting mechanism and the grip 30 furthest from the first connecting part 72 and the second connecting part 22 is the second end of each; and the first end and the second end are arranged opposite to each other.
[0037] The connecting mechanism and grip 30 can switch between an unfolded usage state and a folded storage state. When the connecting mechanism and grip 30 are rotated back-to-back to the unfolded usage state, their respective second ends move away from each other. When the connecting mechanism and grip 30 are rotated towards each other to the folded storage state, their respective second ends move closer together. Thus, when the user needs to use the selfie stick 100 to take a photo, the connecting mechanism and grip 30 can be rotated back-to-back to the unfolded state, and the external device 200 can be mounted on the connecting mechanism for easy shooting. Conversely, when the user does not need to use the selfie stick 100, the connecting mechanism and grip 30 can be rotated towards each other to the folded state for easy storage.
[0038] The locking component 90 serves as the locking and unlocking structure of the selfie stick 100, and is used to lock the connecting mechanism to the handle 30 when the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 are in the aforementioned retracted state, so as to achieve relative fixation of the position between the connecting mechanism and the handle 30.
[0039] The locking component 90 includes a latch 91 and a locking lug 92. The latch 91 is located on one of the second ends of the connecting mechanism and the second end of the grip 30, while the locking lug 92 is located on the other. For example, the latch 91 can be located on the second end of the grip 30, and the locking lug 92 on the second end of the connecting mechanism; alternatively, the locking lug 92 can be located on the second end of the grip 30, and the latch 91 on the second end of the connecting mechanism. By designing the latch 91 and locking lug 92, when the connecting mechanism and the grip 30 are in a stacked, retracted state, the latch 91 and locking lug 92 engage to achieve a relatively fixed position between the connecting mechanism and the grip 30. This design is simple and easy to implement.
[0040] Understandably, the first end of the connecting mechanism is rotatably connected to the first end of the grip 30, and the second end of the connecting mechanism is connected to the second end of the grip 30 through the latch 91 and the locking port 92. Since the first end and the second end are far apart and opposite to each other, this end connection can effectively prevent the connecting mechanism and the grip 30 (especially for long objects) from generating unnecessary vibrations due to external forces, improve the stability of the overall structure of the selfie stick 100 in the storage state, and through the end connection, the connecting mechanism and the grip 30 (especially for long objects) can better withstand bending and torsional moments, enhancing the overall rigidity of the selfie stick 100 in the storage state.
[0041] Based on the selfie stick 100 designed for easy index finger operation in this embodiment, the second end of the connecting mechanism and the second end of the handle 30 are connected by a latch 91 and a locking jaw 92. This design ensures that the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 are relatively fixed in their stacked, folded state, preventing them from opening arbitrarily and facilitating user storage. Furthermore, by designing a rotatable connection between the first end of the connecting mechanism and the first end of the handle 30, and a connection between the second end of the connecting mechanism and the second end of the handle 30 via a latch 91 and a locking jaw 92, the ends of the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 are connected at their opposite first and second ends, effectively preventing the ends of the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 from warping.
[0042] like Figures 11-12 As shown, the latch 91 is located in the middle of the second end of the handle 30, and the locking port 92 is located in the middle of the second end of the connecting mechanism. This way, when the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 are in the stacked and stored state, the connection between the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 is located in the middle, the force is more evenly distributed, and it is not easy for one side to lift up.
[0043] like Figures 11-12 As shown, the support member 70 also includes a rotating member 73, and the clamping assembly 10 includes a telescopic member 11 and two clamping members 12. The base 71 is rotatably connected to the handle 30, and the base 71 forms an installation space 71a; the rotating member 73 is located in the installation space 71a and is rotatably connected to the base 71; the telescopic member 11 is located at the end of the rotating member 73 and can telescopically move relative to the rotating member 73; one clamping member 12 is connected to the rotating member 73, and the other clamping member 12 is connected to the telescopic member 11. The two clamping members 12 can clamp and fix the external device 200 from both sides of the external device 200.
[0044] The base 71 serves as the seat of the support member 70, providing a stable support platform. The specific material of the base 71 is not limited; designers can choose according to actual needs. For example, the material of the base 71 can be, but is not limited to, plastic or rubber. The installation space 71a is the area on the base 71 used to accommodate the rotating member 73.
[0045] The rotating component 73, acting as a rotating body of the support component 70, adjusts the angle of the external device 200 supported on it by rotation, thereby improving the ease of use of the selfie stick 100. The specific structure of the rotating component 73 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the rotating component 73 can be, but is not limited to, a plate-like structure or a frame structure. It should be noted that the rotating component 73 and the base 71 can be connected by a damped rotational connection, thus enabling stable multi-angle rotation and support between the rotating component 73 and the base 71.
[0046] The telescopic member 11 serves as an adjusting component of the clamping assembly 10. It adjusts the distance between the two clamping members 12 through telescopic movement, enabling the two clamping members 12 to clamp and fix external devices 200 of different sizes. The specific structure of the telescopic member 11 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the telescopic member 11 can be, but is not limited to, a plate-like or block-like structure. Since the clamping assembly 10 is not the focus of this application, the specific connection method between the telescopic member 11 and the rotating member 73 will not be described in detail here.
[0047] The clamping member 12 serves as the fixing member 36 of the clamping assembly 10, used to clamp and fix the external device 200 from both sides. The specific structure of the clamping member 12 is not limited here; designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs. For example, the clamping member 12 can be, but is not limited to, a gripping structure or a plate-like structure. Since the clamping assembly 10 is not the focus of this application, the specific connection methods between the clamping member 12 and the rotating member 73, and between the clamping member 12 and the telescopic member 11, will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that when there are two telescopic members 11, the two telescopic members 11 can be located at the two ends of the rotating member 73 respectively (i.e., one-to-one correspondence), and in this case, the two clamping members 12 and the two telescopic members 11 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0048] The specific arrangement of the latch 91 (or latch 92) on the connecting mechanism may include, but is not limited to, the following situations.
[0049] like Figures 11-12 As shown, in one configuration, the end of the telescopic member 11 furthest from the rotating member 73 serves as the second end of the connecting mechanism, and one of the latch 91 and the locking port 92 is mounted on the telescopic member 11. Thus, when the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 are in a folded, stowed state, the latch 91 (or locking port 92) directly connects to the locking port 92 (or latch 91) mounted on the telescopic member 11, thereby achieving relative fixation between the connecting mechanism and the handle 30. This simple operation facilitates user storage.
[0050] like Figures 15-16 As shown, in the second case, the end of the rotating member 73 furthest from the telescopic member 11 serves as the second end of the connecting mechanism, and one of the latch 91 and the locking port 92 is located on the rotating member 73. Thus, when the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 are in a stacked, retracted state, the latch 91 (or locking port 92) directly connects to the locking port 92 (or latch 91) located on the rotating member 73, thereby achieving relative fixation between the connecting mechanism and the handle 30. This simple operation facilitates user storage.
[0051] like Figures 17-18As shown, in the third case, the end of the base 71 furthest from the rotation center OO' (i.e., the rotation axis PP' of the first connecting part 72 and the second connecting part 22) serves as the second end of the connecting mechanism, and one of the latch 91 and the locking port 92 is disposed on the base 71. Thus, when the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 are in the stacked storage state, the latch 91 (or locking port 92) is directly connected to the locking port 92 (or latch 91) disposed on the base 71, thereby achieving relative fixation of the position between the connecting mechanism and the handle 30. This is simple to operate and convenient for users to store.
[0052] Specifically, the end of the telescopic member 11 furthest from the rotating member 73 is provided with a relief groove 11a. When the latch 91 is engaged with the locking port 92, the latch 91 is locked in the relief groove 11a. By designing the relief groove 11a at the end of the telescopic member 11 furthest from the rotating member 73, the latch 91 is locked in the relief groove 11a when it is engaged with the locking port 92, thus achieving double fixation of the latch 91. This effectively improves the connection stability of the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 in the retracted state.
[0053] It should be noted that, in other cases, the end of the telescopic member 11 away from the rotating member 73 can also serve as the second end of the connecting mechanism, while the end of the rotating member 73 away from the telescopic member 11 can also serve as the second end of the connecting mechanism. When the rotating member 73 rotates to the point that the telescopic member 11 is further away from the rotation center OO' than the rotating member 73, the latch 91 (or locking port 92) can be connected to the locking port 92 (or latch 91) provided on the telescopic member 11. Conversely, when the rotating member 73 rotates to the point that the rotating member 73 is further away from the rotation center OO' than the telescopic member 11, the latch 91 (or locking port 92) can be connected to the locking port 92 (or latch 91) provided on the rotating member 73. This can further improve the storage convenience of the selfie stick 100.
[0054] Of course, such as Figures 19-21As shown, the grip 30 includes a housing 37, a first support leg 38, and a second support leg 39. The housing 37 is rotatably connected to a connecting mechanism (the housing 37 is indirectly rotatably connected to the first connecting part 72 of the support member 70 via the second connecting part 22 of the telescopic mechanism 20), and the housing 37 has a receiving cavity (not shown in the figure); the first support leg 38 is movably connected to the housing 37; the second support leg 39 serves as the second end of the grip 30 and is movably connected to the housing 37; one of a latch 91 and a locking ring 92 is provided on the second support leg 39. The first support leg 38 and the second support leg 39 have a first state extending out of the receiving cavity, and a second state retracted into the receiving cavity, and the first support leg 38 and the second support leg 39 can switch between the first state and the second state. It should be noted that in the first state, the first support leg 38 and the second support leg 39 cooperate to contact the surface to be contacted (which can be the ground or a tabletop); in the second state (when the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 are in the above-mentioned retracted state), the second support leg 39 is connected to the connecting mechanism through the latch 91 and the locking lug 92. Here, the specific movable connection method between the first support leg 38 (second support leg 39) and the housing 37 is not limited. Designers can design it reasonably according to actual needs, as long as the first support leg 38 (second support leg 39) has a first state extending out of the receiving cavity of the housing 37 and a second state retracted into the receiving cavity of the housing 37. When the first support leg 38 and the second support leg 39 are in the first state, extending out of the receiving cavity of the housing 37, the first support leg 38 and the second support leg 39 cooperate to form a stable support structure for contacting the surface to be contacted. At this time, the user can free their hands and directly place the selfie stick 100 on the surface to be contacted to take pictures. Moreover, the first support leg 38 and the second support leg 39 make reasonable use of the internal area of the housing 37 (i.e., the receiving cavity), so that when the selfie stick 100 is not in use, the first support leg 38 and the second support leg 39 can be stored in the receiving cavity of the housing 37, which can reduce the space occupation rate of the selfie stick 100. It is worth mentioning that the second support leg 39 can not only cooperate with the first support leg 38 to form a stable support mechanism for contacting the surface to be contacted, but the second support leg 39 can also cooperate with the latch 91 (or the locking port 92) to connect with the locking port 92 (or the latch 91), so that the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 can be relatively fixed in the stacked storage state, and the connecting mechanism and the handle 30 will not open at will, so as to facilitate the user's storage.
[0055] The selfie stick 100 also includes a wireless connection module 50 (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 2, but its structure can be seen in Embodiment 4). Figure 31 ) and battery assembly (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 2, but the structure can be seen in Embodiment 4). Figure 31The shooting button 40 is connected to the wireless connection module 50, and the battery assembly is electrically connected to the wireless connection module 50 to power the wireless connection module 50. In this embodiment, the battery 60 in the battery assembly is powered by a button cell battery. To facilitate battery replacement, in this embodiment, the battery assembly is detachably installed on the step portion 31. The battery assembly includes a mounting member 80 and a battery 60 that are detachably installed on the step portion 31. The step portion 31 is provided with a mounting port 35 (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 2, but the structure can be seen in Embodiment 4). Figure 31 Specifically, the mounting opening 35 is located on the side of the stepped portion 31, and the mounting member 80 is located in the inner cavity of the stepped portion 31. The mounting member 80 includes a mounting plate 81 for mounting the battery 60 (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 2, but the structure can be seen in Embodiment 4). Figure 31 ) and cover plate 82 connected to mounting plate 81 (not shown in the drawings of Embodiment 2, but the structure can be seen in Embodiment 4). Figure 31 The cover plate 82 is provided at the mounting opening 35 to achieve a seal. In order to facilitate the disassembly of the mounting part 80, a beveled notch is also provided at the mounting opening 35 for easy disassembly by the user.
[0056] It should be noted that in the second embodiment, the step portion 31 is specifically disposed on the housing 37 of the grip 30, and the arrangement and specific shape of the step portion 31 on the housing 37 of the grip 30 can be referred to the first embodiment described above, which will not be repeated here. Of course, referring to the first embodiment described above, the step portion 31 includes a first part 311 connected to the housing 37 of the grip 30, and a second part 312 detachably connected to the first part 311. The shooting button 40, the wireless connection module 50 and the battery assembly are all disposed in the second part 312, and the battery assembly is detachably installed in the second part 312, which will not be repeated here.
[0057] like Figure 22 As shown, the third embodiment of this application proposes a selfie stick 100 that is easy to operate with the index finger. It is understood that the design of the step portion 31 of the selfie stick 100 in the third embodiment is the same as that of the step portion 31 of the selfie stick 100 in the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. The following will elaborate on the structural differences between the selfie stick 100 in the third embodiment and the selfie stick 100 in the first embodiment.
[0058] The grip 30 includes a third connecting part 33 and three detachable support feet 34, one end of which is rotatably connected to the third connecting part 33.
[0059] Specifically, such as Figures 22-25As shown, the step portion 31 is located on the support leg 34 on the second side B. It can be understood that the three support legs 34 can form a stable support structure, i.e., a tripod, which allows for stable support of the selfie stick 100 for shooting after unfolding, thereby improving shooting stability and preventing shaking during shooting. The tripod structure is a mature and conventional design, and will not be elaborated further in this utility model. Since the step portion 31 has various different shapes (see details...), Figures 4 to 8 Therefore, when the step 31 is placed on the support leg 34, it can be designed in a variety of different ways, such as... Figures 22 to 25 The various scenarios shown are illustrated when the step portion 31 is mounted on the support foot 34. The specific shape of the step portion 31 will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The support foot 34 allows the grip 30 to stand stably on a table or ground surface, preventing shaking and improving stability during video recording. Simultaneously, placing the shooting button 40 on the support foot 34 on the back of the grip 30 allows for convenient shooting with the user's index finger, enhancing the ease of shooting operation.
[0060] Specifically, such as Figures 26-28 As shown, the step portion 31 is located on the third connecting portion 33. It can be understood that the three supporting legs 34 can form a stable support structure, i.e., a tripod, which allows for stable support of the selfie stick 100 for shooting after unfolding, thereby improving shooting stability and preventing shaking during shooting. The tripod structure is a mature and conventional design, and will not be elaborated further in this utility model. Since the step portion 31 has various different shapes (see details...), Figures 4 to 8 Therefore, when the step portion 31 is located on the third connecting portion 33, it can be designed in a variety of different ways, such as... Figures 26 to 28 The various scenarios where the step portion 31 is located on the connecting portion 33 are illustrated; the specific shape of the step portion 31 will not be described in detail in this embodiment. Placing the shooting button 40 on the third connecting portion 33 allows for convenient shooting with the user's index finger, improving the ease of shooting operation.
[0061] like Figures 29-33 As shown, the fourth embodiment of this application proposes a selfie stick 100 that is easy to operate with the index finger. It is understood that the design of the step portion 31 of the selfie stick 100 in the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the step portion 31 of the selfie stick 100 in the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.
[0062] The selfie stick 100 includes a clamping assembly 10, a telescopic mechanism 20, a grip 30, a shooting button 40, a wireless connection module 50, a battery assembly, and a support member 70. A stepped portion 31 is located on one side of the grip 30 near one end. Specifically, in this embodiment, the stepped portion 31 is located at the end of the grip 30 near the clamping assembly 10. The stepped portion 31 has a first surface 31a near the second connecting portion 22, which connects to the grip 30. The first surface 31a is a slope or arc surface, connecting to one end of the grip 30. In this embodiment, the first surface 31a is directly connected to the grip 30, without a sub-surface 30a (i.e., directly connected to the upper surface of the grip 30).
