Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photography and videography technology, and in particular to an accessory boot structure and a photographic accessory. Background Technology

[0002] A hot shoe is a fixed interface slot for connecting external accessories to photographic and video recording equipment (including digital SLRs, DV cameras, and traditional digital cameras). Connectable external accessories include flashes, GPS locators, video lights, and microphones, among others. Specifically, the external accessory has an accessory shoe structure that mates with the hot shoe, allowing for detachable connection of the external accessory to the photographic or video recording equipment.

[0003] In existing technologies, after the accessory shoe structure is connected to the hot shoe mount, a locking component is provided on the accessory shoe structure to lock it within the hot shoe mount in order to prevent the accessory shoe structure from automatically detaching from the hot shoe mount. However, the locking component on the existing accessory shoe structure is relatively complicated to operate during the locking or unlocking process, which affects the connection or disassembly between the external accessory and the photography and video equipment, thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an accessory boot structure that facilitates locking or unlocking of the accessory boot structure and the hot shoe seat, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly and locking of external accessories and photographic / video equipment.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: According to one aspect of this utility model, an accessory boot structure is provided, capable of connecting to and electrically connecting to a hot shoe mount of a photographic or video recording device. The accessory boot structure includes: an accessory body; a base disposed on the accessory body, the base being detachably connected to the hot shoe mount, the base having a mounting cavity; an electrical connection assembly mounted on the base, capable of electrically connecting to the hot shoe mount when the base is connected to the hot shoe mount; and a locking assembly including a button and a locking pin, both the button and the locking pin being mounted within the mounting cavity, the button corresponding to the locking pin, and the button portion extending out of the mounting cavity. Driven by an external force, the button can move relative to the base along a first direction, and drive the locking pin to move relative to the base along a second direction, so that the locking pin moves from the locked position to the unlocked position. When the external force is removed, the button can be reset, and the locking pin can be reset from the unlocked position to the locked position. The second direction is set at an angle to the first direction. In the locked position, the locking pin can partially extend out of the mounting cavity and be locked on the hot shoe to restrict the movement of the base relative to the hot shoe. In the unlocked position, the locking pin disengages from the hot shoe, allowing the base to move relative to the hot shoe.

[0006] In one embodiment of this application, the locking pin is provided with an abutting inclined surface, and the button is provided with an abutting inclined surface corresponding to the abutting inclined surface. When the button moves toward the locking pin, the abutting inclined surface can move along the abutting inclined surface, and the abutting inclined surface can squeeze the abutting inclined surface to drive the locking pin to move in the second direction.

[0007] In one embodiment of this application, the button includes a main body and a top abutment. The top abutment protrudes from the main body, and the free end of the main body forms the top abutment slope. The top abutment slope is inclined from the free end of the top abutment toward the main body in the second direction.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the first direction is the same as the direction in which the base is inserted into the hot shoe.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the locking pin includes a pin body and a plurality of pins spaced apart on the pin body. The pins extend axially along the second direction, and the free ends of the pins extend out of the mounting cavity. In the locking position, the pins can be locked in the hot shoe seat.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the free end of the pin is provided with a guide slope. The guide slope is inclined from bottom to top in the first direction so that when the guide slope abuts against the hot shoe and moves along the first direction, the hot shoe can drive the locking pin to move from the locked position to the unlocked position through the guide slope.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the locking assembly further includes a limiting spring connected between the locking pin and the base and extending along the first direction to limit the locking pin in the locking position.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the locking assembly further includes a return spring connected between the button and the base to move the button away from the locking pin.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the mounting cavity includes a locking pin chamber and a button chamber that communicate with each other. The locking pin chamber is used to accommodate and guide the locking pin so that the locking pin moves along the second direction, and the button chamber is used to accommodate and guide the button so that the button moves along the first direction.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the base includes a base plate and a bottom shell, the base plate being used to connect the hot shoe seat, and the bottom shell being connected to the base plate to form the mounting cavity between the base plate and the bottom shell.

[0015] This application also provides a photographic accessory, which includes a flash assembly and any of the accessory boot structures described above. The flash assembly is installed in the receiving cavity of the accessory body and is electrically connected to the electrical connection assembly. A light-transmitting hole is provided on the side of the accessory body opposite to the button. The flash assembly is used to emit a flash, and the flash emitted by the flash assembly can be emitted out of the receiving cavity along the light-transmitting hole.

[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages and positive effects: In this invention, the accessory shoe structure includes an accessory body, a base, an electrical connection assembly, and a locking assembly. The accessory body is connected to the base, and the base is detachably connected to the hot shoe mount of the photographic / video recording equipment. The electrical connection assembly is mounted on the base and is electrically connected to the hot shoe mount when the base is connected to it. The base has a mounting cavity, and the locking assembly includes a button and a locking pin, both of which are mounted within the mounting cavity. The button corresponds to the locking pin, and the button extends out of the mounting cavity, allowing it to move relative to the base in a first direction under external force, thus moving the locking pin relative to the base in a second direction, from a locked position to an unlocked position. When the external force is removed, the button resets, and the locking pin resets from the unlocked position to the locked position. Furthermore, in the locked position, the locking pin extends out of the mounting cavity and engages with the hot shoe mount, restricting the movement of the base relative to the hot shoe mount. When in the unlocked position, the locking pin disengages from the hot shoe, allowing the base to move relative to the hot shoe. This facilitates attaching the base to the hot shoe or removing the base from the hot shoe, thereby enabling the attachment, disassembly, and locking of the accessory shoe structure and photographic / video equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that this utility model can have various variations in different embodiments, all of which do not depart from the scope of this utility model, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit this utility model.

[0028] In existing technologies, after the accessory shoe structure is connected to the hot shoe mount, a locking component is provided on the accessory shoe structure to prevent it from automatically detaching from the hot shoe mount. However, the locking component on existing accessory shoe structures is cumbersome to operate during locking or unlocking, thus affecting the connection or disassembly between the external accessory and the photographic / video recording equipment, impacting the user experience. Therefore, an accessory shoe structure is proposed to solve the above problems.

[0029] The solution is further illustrated by the following examples: Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a photographic accessory according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the photographic attachment. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the accessory boot structure according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A partial schematic diagram of the accessory boot structure. In this embodiment, using... Figure 4 The direction from right to left in the middle is the first direction, with Figure 4 The direction from bottom to top is the second direction.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The accessory shoe structure of this embodiment can be connected to the hot shoe of the camera equipment, and the accessory shoe structure and the camera equipment can be electrically connected, thereby facilitating the use of the accessory shoe structure and the camera equipment.

[0031] Specifically, the accessory shoe structure may include an accessory body 10, a base 20, an electrical connection assembly 30, and a locking assembly 40. The accessory body 10 is disposed on the base 20, and the base 20 is detachably connected to the hot shoe mount of the photographic / video recording equipment. The electrical connection assembly 30 is mounted on the base 20, and when the base 20 is connected to the hot shoe mount, the electrical connection assembly 30 can electrically connect to the hot shoe mount, enabling the accessory shoe structure to be electrically connected to the photographic / video recording equipment. This allows the photographic / video recording equipment to provide power or transmit control signals to the accessory shoe structure, facilitating its use.

[0032] It should be noted that the accessory body 10 can be configured according to actual needs. For example, the accessory body 10 can be configured as a flash, GPS locator, camera light or microphone, etc., so that the accessory shoe structure can meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0033] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The base 20 has a mounting cavity 21. The locking assembly 40 may include a button 41 and a locking pin 42, both of which are installed within the mounting cavity 21. The button 41 is positioned corresponding to the locking pin 42, with a portion of the button 41 extending out of the mounting cavity 21, allowing the operator to press the button 41 through the extended portion, causing the button 41 to move relative to the base 20. Specifically, under external force, the button 41 can move relative to the base 20 in a first direction, driving the locking pin 42 to move relative to the base 20 in a second direction, thus moving the locking pin 42 from the locked position to the unlocked position. Simultaneously, when the external force is removed, the button 41 can reset, and the locking pin 42 can also reset from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0034] It should be noted that, in the locked position, the locking pin 42 can partially extend out of the mounting cavity 21 and lock onto the hot shoe, thereby restricting the movement of the base 20 relative to the hot shoe and preventing the accessory shoe structure from automatically detaching from the photographic or video-recording equipment. In the unlocked position, the locking pin 42 disengages from the hot shoe, allowing the base 20 to move relative to the hot shoe, facilitating the installation or removal of the accessory shoe structure from the photographic or video-recording equipment.

[0035] Meanwhile, the second direction is set at an angle to the first direction, so that the button 41 and the locking pin 42 can move relative to the base 20 in different directions.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the first direction is the same as the direction in which the base 20 is inserted into the hot shoe. Specifically, the hot shoe is provided with a connecting groove, and the direction in which the base 20 is inserted into the connecting groove is defined as the insertion direction. In this embodiment, the insertion direction is the same as the extension direction of the first direction, so that when the accessory shoe structure is connected to or removed from the hot shoe, it is convenient for the operator to assemble and disassemble the accessory shoe structure, and also convenient for the operator to directly operate the button 41, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling, disassembling, and locking the accessory shoe structure and the photographic and video equipment.

[0037] Specifically, in practical applications, on photographic and video equipment, the opening of the hot shoe mounting slot faces the operator. The button 41 of the accessory shoe structure also extends from the mounting cavity 21 towards the operator, allowing the operator to grip the photographic and video equipment with one hand and the accessory shoe structure with the other. Simultaneously, the thumb of the hand gripping the accessory shoe structure can press the button 41, and the index finger and other fingers can hold or press on the side of the accessory shoe structure opposite to the button 41, resulting in a natural hand posture. At the same time, the button 41 drives the locking pin 42 from the locked position to the unlocked position, thus preventing the locking pin 42 from interfering with the insertion or removal of the base 20 from the hot shoe mounting slot when it is in the locked position, thereby facilitating the installation or removal of the accessory shoe structure. The button 41 is positioned so that the operator can press the button 41 to move the locking pin 42 to the unlock position. During the pressing of the button 41, the accessory shoe structure can be connected to or removed from the hot shoe. The accessory shoe structure is ergonomically designed and conforms to the operator's operating habits, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0038] Furthermore, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the locking pin 42 can move in the second direction, so that the locking pin 42 can be locked between the hot shoe and the base 20 in a direction perpendicular to the hot shoe, thereby increasing the stability of the locking.

[0039] See Figure 4The locking pin 42 may be provided with an abutting slope 421, and the button 41 is provided with an abutting slope 411 corresponding to the abutting slope 421. When the button 41 moves toward the locking pin 42, the abutting slope 411 can move along the abutting slope 421, and the abutting slope 411 can squeeze the abutting slope 421, thereby driving the locking pin 42 to move in the second direction, and thus causing the locking pin 42 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0040] Specifically, the abutting slope 421 is inclined in the second direction from the locking pin 42 toward the button 41, that is, the abutting slope 421 is inclined from left to right in the vertical direction. At the same time, the inclination direction of the supporting slope 411 is the same as the inclination direction of the abutting slope 421, so that the supporting slope 411 can correspond to and fit on the abutting slope 421. When the button 41 moves toward the locking pin 42, that is, when the button 41 is pressed, the supporting slope 411 can move along the abutting slope 421 and squeeze the abutting slope 421, thereby driving the locking pin 42 to move in the second direction, and thus moving the locking pin 42 from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0041] In some other embodiments, only a slope may be provided between the button 41 and the locking pin 42, so that when the button 41 moves in the first direction, it can drive the locking pin 42 to move in the second direction. Of course, the button 41 and the locking pin 42 may also be configured to cooperate with a guide groove and a slide bar, so that when the button 41 moves in the first direction, it can drive the locking pin 42 to move in the second direction.

[0042] Figure 5 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the buttons on the accessory boot structure. Figure 6 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the locking pin of the accessory boot structure.

[0043] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The button 41 may include a main body 412 and a top abutment 413. The top abutment 413 protrudes from the main body 412, and abutting slope 411 is formed at the free end of the main body 412, so that when the button 41 moves toward the locking pin 42, the top abutment 413 abuts against the locking pin 42. Simultaneously, the abutting slope 411 is inclined in a second direction from the free end of the top abutment 413 toward the main body 412, that is, the inclination direction of the abutting slope 411 is the same as the inclination direction of the abutting slope 421.

[0044] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the abutting slope 411 on the free end of the main body 412 can be set as a rounded corner structure, so that when the button 41 moves toward the locking pin 42, the rounded corner on the free end can abut against the abutting slope 421 and drive the locking pin 42 to move in the second direction.

[0045] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 40 may further include a return spring 44. The return spring 44 is connected between the button 41 and the base 20 to move the button 41 away from the locking pin 42.

[0046] Specifically, when button 41 is driven by an external force, button 41 can move towards locking pin 42 in the first direction, causing the reset spring 44 to be compressed and deformed. After the external force on button 41 is removed, the reset spring 44 can drive button 41 to move away from locking pin 42, thereby driving button 41 to reset, so as to facilitate the user's next operation of button 41.

[0047] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 The locking pin 42 may include a pin body 422 and pin feet 423. Multiple pin feet 423 are provided and spaced apart on the pin body 422. Specifically, the multiple pin feet 423 are spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions. Simultaneously, the axial direction of the pin feet 423 extends along the second direction, meaning the axial direction of the pin feet 423 is the same as the second direction.

[0048] In this embodiment, the pin 423 protrudes from the pin body 422 in a direction away from the second direction, and the free end of the pin 423 extends out of the mounting cavity 21. In the locked position, the pin 423 can be locked in the hot shoe seat to restrict the movement of the base 20 relative to the hot shoe seat.

[0049] In this embodiment, the free end of the pin 423 is provided with a guide slope 424, which is inclined upwards in a first direction. When the guide slope 424 abuts against the hot shoe and moves along the first direction, the hot shoe can move the locking pin 42 from the locked position to the unlocked position via the guide slope 424. That is, when the base 20 is inserted into the hot shoe, the abutting wall of the hot shoe can move along the guide slope 424, causing the locking pin 42 to move along the second direction, thus moving the locking pin 42 from the locked position to the unlocked position, facilitating the connection of the accessory shoe structure to the hot shoe.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the abutting bevel 421 is disposed on the needle body 422, and the needle foot 423 and the abutting bevel 421 are distributed on opposite sides of the needle body 422. Specifically, the needle foot 423 and the abutting bevel 421 are located on opposite sides of the needle body 422 in the first direction.

[0051] In addition, the locking assembly 40 may also include a limiting spring 43. The limiting spring 43 is connected between the locking pin 42 and the base 20 and extends in a first direction to limit the locking pin 42 in the locked position.

[0052] It should be noted that when the locking pin 42 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the limiting spring 43 is compressed and deformed. Therefore, when the button 41 disengages from the locking pin 42, the limiting spring 43 can drive the locking pin 42 from the unlocked position to the locked position, thereby causing the locking pin 42 to reset.

[0053] Figure 7 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the bottom plate component of the accessory boot structure.

[0054] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 7 The mounting cavity 21 may include a locking pin chamber 211 and a button chamber 212. The locking pin chamber 211 houses and guides the locking pin 42, allowing it to move in a second direction. The button chamber 212 houses and guides the button 41, allowing it to move in a first direction. The locking pin chamber 211 and the button chamber 212 are connected, enabling the button 41 to abut against the locking pin 42, thereby causing the button 41 to move the locking pin 42 in the second direction.

[0055] See Figure 3 The base 20 may include a base plate 22 and a bottom shell 23. The base plate 22 is used to connect to the hot shoe, such that the base plate 22 is inserted into the connecting groove of the hot shoe. In this embodiment, the base plate 22 may be made of metal, thereby improving the connection strength between the base 20 and the hot shoe.

[0056] Meanwhile, the bottom shell 23 is connected to the bottom plate 22 to form a mounting cavity 21 between the bottom plate 22 and the bottom shell 23.

[0057] Furthermore, the accessory boot structure may also include a front cover 31 and a terminal body 32, the terminal body 32 being used to mount the electrical connection assembly 30. Simultaneously, the base 20 may also be provided with a terminal chamber 213, in which the electrical connection assembly 30 and the terminal body 32 are housed, and the front cover 31 is connected to the base 20 and limits the terminal body 32, thereby confining the electrical connection assembly 30 and the terminal body 32 on the base 20.

[0058] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The photographic accessories in this embodiment may include an accessory boot structure and a flash assembly 50.

[0059] The accessory body 10 has a receiving cavity 12, and the flash assembly 50 is installed in the receiving cavity 12 of the accessory body 10 and electrically connected to the electrical connection assembly 30, so that the flash assembly 50 can be electrically connected to the photography and video equipment through the electrical connection assembly 30.

[0060] In this embodiment, the flash assembly 50 is used to emit a flash. At the same time, a light-transmitting hole 11 is provided on the side of the accessory body 10 away from the button 41, and the flash emitted by the flash assembly 50 can be emitted out of the receiving cavity 12 along the light-transmitting hole 11.

[0061] Specifically, the flash assembly 50 may include a flash tube 51, a flash PCB board 52, a Fresnel lens 53, and a reflector 54. The Fresnel lens 53 is installed within the light-transmitting aperture 11, and the reflector 54 is located within the receiving cavity 12 and positioned corresponding to the Fresnel lens 53. The flash tube 51 is positioned within the receiving cavity 12, between the Fresnel lens 53 and the reflector 54, so that the flash emitted by the flash tube 51 is reflected by the reflector 54 and exits from the Fresnel lens 53 and the light-transmitting aperture 11 into the receiving cavity 12. Simultaneously, the flash PCB board 52 is located within the receiving cavity 12 and is electrically connected to the flash tube 51 and the electrical connection assembly 30.

[0062] In summary, the accessory body 10 is connected to the base 20, and the base 20 is detachably connected to the hot shoe of the photographic / video recording equipment. The electrical connection assembly 30 is mounted on the base 20, and when the base 20 is connected to the hot shoe, the electrical connection assembly 30 is electrically connected to the hot shoe. Simultaneously, the base 20 is provided with a mounting cavity 21, and the locking assembly 40 includes a button 41 and a locking pin 42, both of which are installed within the mounting cavity 21. The button 41 corresponds to the locking pin 42, and a portion of the button 41 extends out of the mounting cavity 21, allowing the button 41 to move relative to the base 20 in a first direction under external force, and to move the locking pin 42 relative to the base 20 in a second direction, causing the locking pin 42 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. When the external force is removed, the button 41 can reset, and the locking pin 42 can reset from the unlocked position to the locked position. Furthermore, in the locked position, the locking pin 42 can extend out of the mounting cavity 21 and lock onto the hot shoe, thereby restricting the movement of the base 20 relative to the hot shoe. In the unlocked position, the locking pin 42 disengages from the hot shoe, allowing the base 20 to move relative to the hot shoe, thus facilitating the connection or removal of the base 20 from the hot shoe, and consequently facilitating the assembly, disassembly, and locking of the accessory shoe structure and photographic / video equipment.

[0063] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
