Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera accessory technology, and in particular to an external handle and an action camera. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of action cameras in outdoor sports, extreme sports, and travel photography, users are increasingly demanding greater ease of operation and stability. External grips, as an important accessory for action cameras, provide users with a better holding experience and greater ease of operation, playing a crucial role in various shooting scenarios.

[0003] Existing external grips are typically connected to cameras using bolts, specifically including the two structural forms mentioned above: The first type is the direct connection method, where the bolt connection component is directly mounted on the handle body. While this structure avoids the need for additional components, it suffers from insufficient operating space. Due to the small mounting gap between the handle body and the bottom of the camera, users find it difficult to effectively turn the bolt within the confined space, making it impossible to apply sufficient torque. This results in an insufficiently tight bolt connection, affecting the reliability of the connection. In outdoor environments, an insecure connection can easily lead to the handle and camera loosening or detaching during use, posing equipment damage and safety hazards. Furthermore, the limited operating space makes it even more difficult for users to complete the connection operation when wearing gloves or with limited finger dexterity.

[0004] The second type is the extension plate connection method, where a mounting plate extends from the handle body, and the bolt connection components are mounted on the extension plate. While this structure solves the operating space problem, allowing users to rotate the bolts from outside the extension plate, the presence of the extension plate severely impacts the overall structural stability. As a cantilever structure, the extension plate is prone to bending deformation or breakage when subjected to external impacts or torque loads, becoming a weak link in the entire connection system. Especially in action shooting scenarios, when the handle is subjected to impacts or vibrations, the deformation of the extension plate is directly transmitted to the camera, affecting shooting stability and image quality. Furthermore, the extension plate structure increases product complexity, occupies more space, and is inconvenient to carry. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides an external handle and an action camera. The external handle does not require an extension plate, saving space, and is easy to connect and fix to the camera, ensuring connection stability and guaranteeing the camera's shooting effect.

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an external handle, comprising: a body; a connector rotatably mounted on the body, one end of the connector having a threaded connection portion and the other end having a dial, the threaded connection portion being used to thread into a threaded hole in a camera protective frame, and the dial being used to drive the connector to rotate; and a limiting member connected to the body, the limiting member cooperating with the connector to lock the camera protective frame.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the outer periphery of the dial is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the outer periphery of the dial is provided with a socket, and the external handle also includes a wrench that can be inserted into the socket to drive the dial to rotate.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the main body is provided with a storage slot for storing the wrench, and a magnetic element is provided in the storage slot, which magnetically attracts the wrench.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the actuating disc is located between the limiting member and the body, and the limiting member is provided with a through hole for the threaded connection to pass through.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the limiting component includes: a limiting plate, which forms a space with the main body to accommodate the dial, and the limiting plate is provided with a through hole; and two support seats, which are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the dial, with one end of the two support seats connected to the two ends of the limiting plate respectively, and the other end connected to the main body.

[0012] In one possible implementation, two support bases are provided with arc-shaped grooves on the side facing the dial, and the arc-shaped grooves are concentric with the dial to avoid the dial.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the body is provided with a threaded groove, and the support is connected to the threaded groove by bolts.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a positioning post is provided on the side of the limiting plate away from the main body, which is used to cooperate with the positioning hole on the camera protective frame. The side of the limiting plate facing the main body is provided with an abutting part for abutting the dial, and the through hole and the threaded connection part are threadedly connected.

[0015] Secondly, this utility model provides a camera protection system, including: a camera protection frame; a camera body disposed within the camera protection frame; and the aforementioned external handle.

[0016] The technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The external handle provided in this embodiment is rotatably mounted on the main body via a connector. One end of the connector has a threaded connection that connects to a threaded hole in the camera protective frame, while the other end has a dial for user operation. This design resolves the conflict between operating space and structural stability in existing technologies. The connector can rotate independently relative to the main body. When the user rotates the dial, only the connector rotates while the main body remains fixed, preventing the entire handle from rotating synchronously with the threaded connection. The user directly drives the threaded connection to rotate via the dial, forming a threaded engagement with the threaded hole in the camera protective frame. The threaded connection at one end ensures directness of the threaded connection, while the dial at the other end provides operating space for the user. In practical applications, the user aligns the threaded connection with the threaded hole in the camera protective frame, rotates the dial to screw the threaded connection in, and the main body remains stable. The connector, in conjunction with a limiting member, effectively fixes the camera protective frame, thereby effectively fixing the camera body. The user can complete the connection within sufficient space, ensuring the tightness of the threaded connection. No extension plate is required, saving space and facilitating connection and fixation to the camera protective frame, ensuring connection stability and maintaining the camera's photographic quality.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples.

Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides an external handle, including: a body 1, a connector 2, and a limiting member 5, wherein: The connector 2 is rotatably mounted on the body 1. One end of the connector 2 is provided with a threaded connection part 21, and the other end is provided with a dial 22. The threaded connection part 21 is used to thread the connection to the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6, and the dial 22 is used to drive the connector 2 to rotate.

[0026] The limiting member 5 is connected to the main body 1. The limiting member 5 can cooperate with the connecting member 2 to lock the camera protective frame 6.

[0027] In this invention, the connector 2 is rotatably mounted on the body 1. One end of the connector 2 has a threaded connection 21 that connects to the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6, while the other end has a dial 22 for user operation. This design resolves the contradiction between operating space and structural stability in existing technologies. The connector 2 can rotate independently relative to the body 1. When the user rotates the dial 22, only the connector 2 rotates while the body 1 remains fixed, preventing the entire handle from rotating synchronously with the threaded connection 21. The user directly drives the threaded connection 21 to rotate via the dial 22, forming a threaded connection with the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6. The threaded connection 21 at one end of the connector 2 ensures the directness of the threaded connection, while the dial 22 at the other end provides operating space for the user. In practical applications, the user aligns the threaded connection 21 with the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6, rotates the dial 22 to screw the threaded connection 21 in, and the body 1 remains stable. The connector 2, in cooperation with the limiting member 5, effectively fixes the camera protective frame 6. The user completes the connection within sufficient space, ensuring the tightness of the threaded connection. No extension plate is required, saving space. It is also easy to connect and fix to the camera protection frame 6, ensuring the stability of the connection and guaranteeing the camera's shooting effect.

[0028] Specifically, the camera protective frame 6 is located on the outer periphery of the camera body 7, protecting it. The connector 2 and the limiting member 5 are directly connected to the camera protective frame 6, thus effectively fixing the camera body 7. The rotatable design of the connector 2 on the body 1 means that the connector 2 can rotate relative to the body 1. When the user rotates the dial 22, the threaded connection part 21 rotates synchronously and forms a threaded engagement with the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6. The thread structure of the threaded connection part 21 matches the thread structure of the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6, achieving axial feed and radial constraint through the helical motion of the thread. The dial 22 serves as the operating interface, transmitting the user's rotational force to the connector 2.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, the connector 2 is disposed between the limiting member 5 and the body 1. By rotating the dial 22, the threaded connection part 21 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole of the camera protective frame 6. The limiting member 5 is used to abut against the dial 22 to lock the connector 2, thereby achieving effective fixation of the camera protective frame 6.

[0030] In another specific embodiment, the connector 2 is rotatably connected to the body 1 via a pivot, and the limiting member 5 is disposed on the body 1 to abut against the surface of the camera protective frame 6 when the threaded connection part 21 is threadedly connected to the camera protective frame 6. When the threaded connection part 21 of the connector 2 is threadedly connected to the camera protective frame 6 to a certain extent, the limiting member 5 fully abuts against the camera protective frame 6, and the camera protective frame 6 is effectively fixed by friction.

[0031] In related technologies, traditional camera grips typically have an extension plate for ease of operation, with bolts 54 used to connect and fix it to the camera protective frame 6. While this solves the installation gap problem, the extension plate affects the overall structural stability, making the camera prone to shaking during shooting and affecting the image quality. It also increases the space occupied by the grip. In this embodiment, the connector 2 is rotatably mounted between the camera protective frame 6 and the main body 1. The narrow gap is solved by the dial 22, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the grip from the camera protective frame 6 by rotating the connector 2. Furthermore, eliminating the extension plate ensures structural stability, improves image quality, and saves space occupied by the grip.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer periphery of the dial 22 is provided with anti-slip texture 221.

[0033] In this invention, anti-slip texture 221 is provided on the outer periphery of the dial 22. By increasing the surface roughness and texture of the dial 22, the coefficient of friction between the user's fingers and the dial 22 is improved, ensuring reliable operation control under various environmental conditions. The presence of the anti-slip texture 221 makes it less likely for the user's fingers to slip when applying rotational force.

[0034] Specifically, the diameter of the dial 22 is larger than the diameter of the threaded connection 21, thus facilitating rotation of the dial 22 within the gap between the body 1 and the camera protective frame 6. The anti-slip texture 221 can be raised stripes, a mesh pattern, or other surface treatments that increase friction. When the user's finger contacts the outer periphery of the dial 22, the anti-slip texture 221 mechanically engages with the finger surface, increasing static friction. This increased friction allows the user to better control the rotation angle and speed of the dial 22.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the anti-slip texture 221 significantly improves the operational reliability under wet and slippery conditions, enabling users to operate the dial 22 stably under various environmental conditions and ensuring connection quality.

[0036] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer periphery of the dial 22 is provided with a socket 222, and the external handle also includes a wrench 3, which can be inserted into the socket 222 to drive the dial 22 to rotate.

[0037] In this invention, the wrench 3 is positioned around the actuation disk 22, providing users with a more convenient and efficient operating method. The wrench 3 solves the operational difficulties in a tightly connected configuration, particularly when the threaded connection 21 is connected to the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6, creating a limited gap between the camera protective frame 6 and the body 1. As an extension of the actuation disk 22, the wrench 3 can easily extend into the gap between the camera protective frame 6 and the body 1, providing users with ample contact surface to rotate the actuation disk 22.

[0038] Specifically, the wrench 3 has a better geometry and size design than the dial 22, making it more adaptable to the requirements of operation in confined spaces. Users can apply torque more effectively with the wrench 3, ensuring the reliability of the connection and the tightness of the rotation. The wrench 3 provides a larger lever arm than directly operating the dial 22, allowing users to apply greater rotational force to ensure sufficient tightening force between the threaded connection 21 and the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6, avoiding safety hazards caused by loose connections during use.

[0039] In actual operation, after the handle is connected to the camera protection frame 6, although the overall structure is compact, the wrench 3 can be flexibly gripped and rotated by the user within the gap, avoiding the space limitations and insufficient torque problems that may be encountered when directly operating the dial 22. The wrench 3 also improves the precision and control of operation. The user can better feel the changes in rotational resistance through the wrench 3, accurately judge the tightness of the threaded connection, and prevent over-tightening or over-loosening.

[0040] In related technologies, effective operating tools are often lacking in tight connection states, making it difficult for users to apply sufficient torque to complete a reliable threaded connection in confined spaces. However, this invention uses a wrench 3 to enter the narrow gap between the camera protective frame 6 and the body 1, maintaining the overall structural compactness while ensuring a convenient, reliable, and secure operating method in any connection state.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the main body 1 is provided with a storage slot 11 for storing the wrench 3, and a magnetic suction member 4 is provided in the storage slot 11, which magnetically attracts the wrench 3.

[0042] In this invention, a storage groove 11 is provided on the main body 1 to store the wrench 3, and a magnetic attractor 4 is provided in the storage groove 11 to magnetically attract the wrench 3, thus realizing the integrated storage and anti-loss function of the wrench 3. The magnetic field generated by the magnetic attractor 4 interacts with the ferromagnetic material of the wrench 3 to generate sufficient magnetic attraction to fix the wrench 3 in the storage groove 11, maintaining a stable adsorption state even in a vibrating environment.

[0043] Specifically, the size and shape of the storage slot 11 are adapted to the wrench 3, providing accurate positioning space for the wrench 3. The magnetic component 4 can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, which generates an attractive force by acting on the ferromagnetic part of the wrench 3 through a magnetic field. When the wrench 3 is placed in the storage slot 11, the magnetic component 4 automatically attracts and fixes it, and it can be easily taken out by overcoming the magnetic attraction.

[0044] In related technologies, carrying tools separately can easily lead to loss, especially in outdoor sports environments where the loss rate of small tools is relatively high, causing inconvenience to users. However, in this embodiment of the utility model, the magnetic integrated storage solves the storage and anti-loss problem of the wrench 3. Users can access the wrench 3 at any time without having to carry it separately, improving the practicality of the product and the user experience.

[0045] In some embodiments, the actuating disk 22 is located between the limiting member 5 and the body 1, and the limiting member 5 is provided with a through hole 51 for the threaded connection portion 21 to pass through.

[0046] In this invention, the limiting member 5 is disposed around the threaded connection portion 21, playing a crucial role in limiting and fixing during the connection between the threaded connection portion 21 and the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6. The limiting member 5 is fixedly connected to the body 1. When the threaded connection portion 21 is screwed into the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6, the limiting member 5 directly abuts against the bottom surface of the camera protective frame 6, forming a stable support surface. This abutting fit not only provides axial limiting for the threaded connection, preventing excessive screwing of the threaded connection portion 21 and resulting thread damage, but more importantly, the surface contact between the limiting member 5 and the camera protective frame 6 significantly improves the fixing effect on the camera protective frame 6.

[0047] Specifically, the contact between the limiting member 5 and the camera protective frame 6 creates an additional constraint beyond the threaded connection, increasing the contact area and friction of the connection system and effectively preventing the camera protective frame 6 from rotating or shifting during use. In practical applications, when the user is shooting motion, various external forces and vibrations on the handle are transmitted through the contact surface between the limiting member 5 and the camera protective frame 6, preventing all loads from being concentrated on the threaded connection 21, distributing the force, and improving connection stability.

[0048] In related technologies, the fixing method that relies solely on threaded connections is prone to loosening when subjected to lateral forces or torques. However, this utility model forms a dual fixing mechanism of threaded connection and surface contact through the abutment cooperation of the limiting member 5, which significantly enhances the reliability and stability of the connection between the handle and the camera protective frame 6, ensuring a firm connection under various usage conditions.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting member 5 includes: a limiting plate 52, which forms a space between the limiting plate 52 and the body 1 to accommodate the dial 22, and the limiting plate 52 is provided with a through hole 51; two support seats 53, which are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the dial 22, one end of the two support seats 53 being connected to both ends of the limiting plate 52 respectively, and the other end being connected to the body 1.

[0050] In this invention, the limiting member 5 adopts a combination structure of a limiting plate 52 and two support seats 53. The limiting plate 52 and the body 1 form a space to accommodate the dial 22. The two support seats 53 are respectively connected to the two ends of the limiting plate 52 and the body 1, forming a stable three-point support structure. This structural design not only effectively protects the dial 22, but also ensures the mechanical strength and stability of the overall structure.

[0051] Specifically, the limiting plate 52 allows the threaded connection 21 to pass through the through hole 51, while its planar structure provides axial restraint for the connector 2. The symmetrical arrangement of the two support seats 53 ensures uniform force distribution and avoids structural deformation caused by unilateral force. The design of the accommodating space provides the necessary rotation clearance for the dial 22, ensuring that it can rotate freely without interfering with other components.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, when the external handle is subjected to a large external impact, the two support seats 53 evenly transmit the impact force to the main body 1, while the limiting plate 52 protects the dial 22 from direct impact. This structure can effectively protect the internal mechanism and extend the product's service life during outdoor sports.

[0053] In some embodiments, two support bases 53 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 531 on the side facing the dial 22. The arc-shaped grooves 531 are concentrically arranged with the dial 22 to avoid the limiting dial 22.

[0054] In this invention, an arc-shaped groove 531 is provided on one side of the two support bases 53 facing the dial 22. The arc-shaped groove 531 is concentric with the dial 22. The arc-shaped surface cooperates to effectively avoid the dial 22, providing sufficient space for the rotation of the dial 22 and facilitating operation.

[0055] Specifically, the concentric arrangement means that the center of the arc groove 531 coincides with the rotation center of the dial 22, and the two have the same axis. When the dial 22 rotates, its outer circular surface maintains a constant gap with the inner surface of the arc groove 531. This fit allows free rotation while restricting radial displacement.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, under high-frequency rotational operation or when subjected to lateral forces, the radial constraint of the arcuate groove 531 ensures that the dial 22 does not experience radial displacement, maintaining the smoothness and precision of rotation. This is particularly important for professional shooting applications requiring precise control.

[0057] In the utility model embodiment, the radial limiting function of the arc groove 531 effectively maintains the radial accuracy of the dial 22, ensuring that it can maintain good rotation performance after long-term use and improving the durability of the product.

[0058] In some embodiments, the body 1 is provided with a threaded groove, and the support 53 is connected to the threaded groove by bolts 54.

[0059] In this invention, the support base 53 is connected to the body 1 by bolts 54, and a positioning protrusion 12 is provided on the body 1 for positioning the support base 53, thus achieving reliable fixing and precise positioning of the limiting component 5. The bolt 54 connection provides sufficient connection strength to withstand various loads during use, and the positioning protrusion 12 ensures the accurate installation position of the support base 53, avoiding assembly errors from affecting the limiting effect.

[0060] Specifically, the bolt 54 connection is a detachable mechanical connection method, where the preload of the bolt 54 presses the support 53 onto the body 1. The positioning protrusion 12 engages with the corresponding positioning hole on the support 53, serving as a guide and positioning element during assembly to ensure that the support 53 is installed in the predetermined position. This positioning mechanism prevents the support 53 from shifting position during assembly.

[0061] Optionally, the positioning protrusion 12 can also be in other forms such as a positioning groove.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, when the limiting component 5 needs maintenance or replacement, the user can disassemble the support base 53 by removing the bolts 54, while the positioning protrusion 12 ensures that it can be accurately reset during reassembly, maintaining the original limiting accuracy and function.

[0063] In some embodiments, a positioning post 55 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 52 away from the body 1. The positioning post 55 is used to cooperate with the positioning hole on the camera protective frame 6. An abutting part 521 for abutting the dial 22 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 52 facing the body 1. The through hole 51 is threadedly connected to the threaded connection part 21.

[0064] In this invention, a positioning post 55 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 52 away from the main body 1. The positioning post 55 engages with the positioning hole on the camera protective frame 6, providing additional positioning constraints on top of the threaded connection, preventing relative rotation between the camera protective frame 6 and the limiting member 5. The engagement of the positioning post 55 and the positioning hole forms radial and rotational constraints, preventing accidental rotation or offset of the external handle relative to the camera protective frame 6, thus improving the stability and positioning accuracy of the connection.

[0065] Specifically, two positioning posts 55 are provided, positioned opposite each other on both sides of the through hole 51. The inner surface of the through hole 51 is provided with internal threads, which are threadedly engaged with the threaded connection part 21. The threaded connection part 21 is also threadedly engaged with the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6. When the actuating disk 22 is rotated, the connecting piece 2 can move axially within a small range between the limiting plate 52 and the body 1. When fixing the camera protective frame 6, firstly, the two positioning posts 55 are inserted into the two positioning holes of the camera protective frame 6, so that the camera protective frame 6 is in contact with the limiting plate 52. Then, the actuating disk 22 is rotated, so that the threaded connection part 21 is screwed into the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6. When the actuating disk 22 abuts against the abutting part 521 of the limiting plate 52, the connecting piece 2 is locked by friction, which can prevent the connecting piece 2 from loosening. The camera protective frame 6 is positioned by the two positioning posts 55 and will not rotate relative to the limiting plate 52, thus ensuring the fixing effect of the camera protective frame 6.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a protective frame for an action camera, including: a camera protective frame 6; a camera body 7 disposed within the camera protective frame 6; and the aforementioned external handle.

[0067] In this invention, the camera protective frame 6 and the external handle are combined to form a complete action camera protective frame 6, providing users with an integrated shooting solution. This ensures perfect fit and coordinated operation between the handle and the camera protective frame 6, eliminating potential compatibility issues between products from different manufacturers, and providing users with a superior user experience.

[0068] The threaded connection part 21 is located at one end of the connector 2 to ensure the directness of the threaded connection, while the dial 22 is located at the other end to provide operating space for the user. The user aligns the threaded connection part 21 with the threaded hole of the camera protective frame 6 and rotates the dial 22 to screw the threaded connection part 21 in. This makes it easy to operate even in a confined space, eliminating the need for an extension plate and saving space. It also facilitates connection and fixation with the camera protective frame 6, ensuring the stability of the connection and guaranteeing the photographic effect of the camera body 7.
