[0018] To more clearly illustrate this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a further picture.

[0019] In the following description, specific examples are given to provide a more in-depth understanding of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] It should be understood that when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the said feature, integral, step, operation, element, or component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a conveniently deployable support frame structure, comprising: The main body 1 has at least three support legs 2 on its cylindrical surface. One end of each support leg 2 is hinged to the main body 1. When any support leg 2 is closed and fitted with the adjacent support leg 2, a pressure zone is formed at the end. The side of the support leg 2 facing the main body 1 is provided with a limiting post 24. Connecting seat 3, one end of which is elastically connected to the end of the main body 1 near the pressure area, and the other end is fixedly connected to the pressing member 5. When the support leg 2 is retracted into the main body 1, the connecting seat 3 restricts the movement of the support leg 2. Pushing the connecting seat 3 causes the support leg 2 to separate from the connecting seat 3. An elastic element is included, with one end fixedly connected to the support leg 2 and the other end abutting against the main body 1. Specifically, the elastic element is a spring sheet 4, which includes a fixed end 42 and an abutting end 43. The fixed end 42 is provided with a limiting hole 41, and the side of the support leg 2 facing the main body 1 is provided with a limiting post 24 corresponding to the limiting hole 41. The limiting hole 41 is inserted into the limiting post 24 so that the spring sheet 4 is fixedly connected to the support leg 2. The element also includes a guide sleeve 8, which is sleeved on the main body 1. The guide sleeve 8 is provided with a sliding groove 81, and the abutting end 43 abuts against the sliding groove 81.

[0022] This support frame structure utilizes the elasticity of the spring plate 4 to achieve rapid and automatic deployment of the support leg 2, significantly improving user convenience. Specifically, the fixed end 42 of the spring plate 4 is fixed to the support leg 2, and the abutting end 43 abuts against the groove 81 of the guide sleeve 8, ensuring that the support leg 2 is always subjected to an outward elastic force in its natural state. When the support leg 2 retracts, the connecting seat 3 is fixedly connected to the support leg 2, at which point the spring plate 4 is compressed within the groove 81. When the user needs to deploy the support frame, they simply press the pressing piece 5 to separate the connecting seat 3 from the support leg 2. At this time, the spring plate 4 rapidly releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the support leg 2 outward. During the spring-opening process, the abutting end 43 is guided by the groove 81, allowing for a smooth deployment and preventing the support leg 2 from suddenly popping out or wobbling, thus improving the stability of the support frame. Furthermore, because the spring plate 4 is firmly connected to the support leg 2, the support leg 2 is less likely to fall off or loosen under external force, further enhancing the load-bearing capacity and safety of the support frame. More specifically, the abutment end 43 is arc-shaped. This arc-shaped design not only makes the contact between the abutment end 43 and the main body 1 smoother, reducing friction and wear, but also ensures the smoothness and stability of the support leg 2 during the unfolding process. The arc-shaped abutment end 43 can better conform to the curve of the slide groove 81, allowing the support leg 2 to move smoothly along the predetermined trajectory when it pops open, avoiding noise and vibration caused by uneven contact.

[0023] In this embodiment, each support leg 2 has a support keel 21 on the side facing the main body 1. One end of each support keel 21 is hinged to the main body 1, and the other end is hinged to the support leg 2. The support keel 21 further enhances the structural strength and stability of the support leg 2. During the unfolding process of the support leg 2, the support keel 21 plays a guiding and supporting role, ensuring that the support leg 2 can unfold smoothly and accurately to the predetermined position. At the same time, the hinged design of the support keel 21 with the main body 1 and the support leg 2 makes the entire structure more flexible when unfolding and retracting, and can adapt to different usage needs.

[0024] In this embodiment, each support leg 2 has a storage groove 22 on its side opposite to the main body 1, which is adapted to the support keel 21. One end of the support keel 21 is hinged to the two opposite walls of the storage groove 22 and can be stored and unfolded in the storage groove 22. When stored, the support keel 21 can be completely retracted into the storage groove 22, significantly improving space utilization, and the storage process is simple and efficient. In the stored state, the support keel 21 and the storage groove 22 fit tightly together, effectively preventing dust and debris from entering the groove and keeping the structure clean; at the same time, the support keel 21 will not easily detach from the storage groove 22 due to shaking or external force, ensuring stability and safety in the stored state. This design enhances the practicality of the support frame while also taking into account aesthetics and convenience, fully meeting the user's core needs for an efficient, stable, and easy-to-use support frame structure.

[0025] In this embodiment, the connecting seat 3 has a locking block 31 on the side near the supporting leg 2, and the supporting leg 2 has a locking groove 23 that matches the locking block 31. The connecting seat 3 is engaged with the locking groove 23 through the locking block 31. When unfolding the support frame structure, simply push the locking block 31 out of the locking groove 23 to separate the connecting seat 3 from the supporting leg 2; when retracting the support frame structure, retract the supporting leg 2, and the locking block 31 will engage with the locking groove 23. This locking design greatly facilitates the user's quick installation and removal of the supporting leg 2, improving the ease of operation.

[0026] In this embodiment, a pressing member 5 is also included. The pressing member 5 passes through the pressure area and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 3 so that when the pressing member 5 is pressed, it pushes the locking block 31 out of the slot 23, thereby realizing the disassembly of the connecting seat 3 and the support leg 2. The pressing member 5 is ingeniously and practically designed. One end of it passes through the pressure area and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 3, ensuring that the pressing member 5 will not loosen or fall off during normal use. When the user needs to disassemble the support leg 2, he only needs to press the pressing member 5 gently, and its other end will push the locking block 31 to move in the slot 23 until the locking block 31 is completely disengaged from the slot 23. At this time, the connection between the connecting seat 3 and the support leg 2 is released, and the user can easily separate the support leg 2 from the connecting seat 3. This design not only simplifies the disassembly process and reduces the difficulty of operation for users, but also avoids the risk of damage caused by using tools, further improving the convenience and practicality of the support frame structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, a fixing member 6 is provided at one end of the main body 1 near the connecting seat 3. The fixing member 6 has a groove 61 with a rotating hole 611. Rotating shafts 211 are formed on both sides of the supporting keel 21, and the rotating shafts 211 are embedded in the rotating holes 611. The supporting keel 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating hole 611 of the fixing member 6 via the rotating shafts 211, realizing the rotation function of the supporting keel 21 relative to the main body 1. This rotatable connection design allows the supporting keel 21 to flexibly adjust its angle to adapt to different usage scenarios and needs. When the user needs to adjust the angle of the support frame, they only need to gently rotate the supporting keel 21 to achieve the angle adjustment, making the operation simple and quick. At the same time, the design of the rotating hole 611 also ensures the stability and reliability of the supporting keel 21 during rotation, avoiding damage or loosening caused by improper rotation.

[0028] In this embodiment, the fixing member 6 is fixedly connected to the base 7. A connecting post 32 is formed on the side of the connecting seat 3 near the base 7. The base 7 has a receiving hole 71 for accommodating the connecting post 32. A spring 321 is sleeved on the connecting post 32, with both ends of the spring 321 abutting against the end of the connecting post 32 and the bottom of the receiving hole 71, respectively, thus forming an elastic connection between the connecting post 32 and the receiving hole 71. This elastic connection design not only improves the connection stability between the connecting seat 3 and the base 7 but also provides a certain buffering effect, effectively reducing damage that may be caused by external impact or vibration during use. When the support frame is subjected to external force, the spring 321 can absorb some energy, reducing the impact on the overall structure and extending the service life of the support frame. Furthermore, the elasticity of the spring 321 also allows for a certain degree of adjustability in the position of the connecting seat 3 relative to the base 7. Users can fine-tune the position of the connecting seat 3 according to actual needs, further improving the applicability and flexibility of the support frame.

[0029] In this embodiment, the pressing member 5 has a fixing post 51, and the connecting seat 3 has a through hole 33 that matches the fixing post 51. The fixing post 51 is inserted into the through hole 33 to achieve a fixed connection between the pressing member 5 and the connecting seat 3. This fixed connection method is not only simple in design but also firmly connected, effectively preventing the pressing member 5 from loosening or falling off during use. The precise matching of the fixing post 51 and the through hole 33 ensures the accurate position of the pressing member 5 on the connecting seat 3, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the support frame when it is unfolded or retracted.

[0030] In this embodiment, the side of the support foot 2 away from the main body 1 is provided with anti-slip texture. Several anti-slip textures form an anti-slip part to increase the friction of the support foot 2. The anti-slip part design makes it more convenient for users to hold the selfie stick and effectively prevents it from slipping.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When unfolding the support frame, the user only needs to press the pressing part 5. Under the action of external force, the pressing part 5 moves inward, simultaneously pushing the locking block 31 out of the slot 23, thereby unlocking the connecting seat 3 from the support leg 2. At this time, the spring piece 4 releases its elastic potential energy instantly, and its fixed end 42 drives the support leg 2 to unfold naturally outward, while the abutting end 43 slides along the slide groove 81 until it reaches the appropriate position; when retracting, the support leg 2 is retracted towards the main body 1 to fit, and the locking block 31 will automatically lock into the slot 23 to achieve a stable lock. At the same time, the support keel 21 is retracted into the storage slot 22, and the spring piece 4 is also retracted into the slide groove 81.

[0032] The advantages of this utility model are: This invention utilizes a spring plate between the support leg and the main body, with one end of the spring plate fixedly connected to the support leg, enabling the support leg to elastically unfold relative to the main body. When the connecting seat is disconnected from the support leg, the spring plate instantly releases its elastic potential energy, automatically popping the support leg out, eliminating the need for manual prying apart one by one. This achieves a convenient unfolding function for the support frame, significantly improving operational efficiency.

[0033] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
