Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photography equipment and digital product accessories, and more particularly to a quick release plate for photography and digital products that prevents loosening and biasing. [Background technology]

[0002] Cameras, camcorders, mirrorless cameras, SLR cameras, action cameras, smartphones, monitors, photography lights, and other related photography equipment or digital products often need to be attached to tripod heads, camera or smartphone stabilizers, sliders, backpack clips, or dedicated mounting bases. A common attachment method is a quick-release plate. For example, to attach a camera to a tripod head, a screw hole (nut device) is located on the bottom of the camera, and a standard quick-release plate (usually square or rectangular) is tightly fastened to the nut device on the bottom of the camera with a single screw. The camera is then attached to the tripod head via the quick-release plate (quick-release plates typically have a standard Arca-Swiss interface, but can also have non-standard mounting interfaces, which can easily and securely attach to the tripod head), completing the shoot.

[0003] This mounting method has one drawback: When moving the camera up and down and left and right to frame and compose a shot, the screws securing the quick-release plate to the camera can easily loosen. This not only impacts the photographer's work efficiency, but also increases the risk of the camera falling off with even the slightest carelessness. In particular, with the emergence of various new photographic equipment and shooting methods, such as attaching an action camera to a helmet, selfie stick, or backpack clip using this quick-release plate for dynamic shooting, or attaching a camera or smartphone to a stabilizer using a quick-release plate for walking, the screws securing the quick-release plate to the camera are extremely prone to loosening due to the movement, vibration, and shaking of the photographic equipment, and the screw loosening is not only highly likely to go unnoticed by the photographer. As a result, the screws can loosen completely, causing the quick-release plate to fall off the camera or other photographic equipment, resulting in frequent accidents. For this reason, we have proposed a quick-release plate that prevents loosening and misalignment for photography and digital products. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] This invention proposes a quick release plate for photography and digital products that prevents loosening and misalignment in order to solve the shortcomings of the prior art. This quick release plate for photography equipment with a loosening prevention function solves the problem that conventional quick release plates tend to loosen when used with photography equipment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A quick release plate for preventing loosening and misalignment for photography and digital products includes a quick release plate (1) and a lead screw (3). A storage groove (2) is provided on the underside of the quick release plate (1), and the lead screw (3) is disposed within the storage groove (2). A locking fastening member is provided between the lead screw (3) and the quick release plate (1) to prevent loosening of the photographic equipment. The locking fastening member includes a plurality of connecting holes (6), a plurality of positioning holes (7), and a fixing member. The connecting hole (6) is provided in the head of the lead screw (3), and the positioning hole (7) is provided at the inner top of the storage groove (2), and the fixing member can be threaded between the connecting hole (6) and the positioning hole (7). [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] With the above technical solution, after the photographic equipment is attached to the quick release plate, it is connected with the lead screw. At the same time, the connecting hole of the lead screw head is aligned with the positioning hole in the storage groove, and the fixing member is threaded into the positioning hole through the connecting hole, thereby reinforcing the gap between the lead screw and the quick release plate, providing the photographic equipment with a stable connection and preventing loosening after attachment.

[0007] In general, this invention involves attaching photographic equipment to a quick release plate, connecting it with a lead screw, and at the same time aligning the connecting hole on the lead screw head with the locating hole in the storage groove, and threading a fixing member through the connecting hole into the locating hole, thereby reinforcing the gap between the lead screw and the quick release plate, providing a stable connection and preventing loosening of the photographic equipment after installation.

[0008] In this invention, the installation of the anti-slip silicone pad provides the photographic equipment with an anti-slip function on the quick release plate, and at the same time increases the friction between the quick release plate and the photographic equipment.

[0010] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is clear that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and do not cover all of the embodiments.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a quick release plate for preventing loosening and misalignment for photography and digital products comprises a quick release plate 1 and a lead screw 3. A mounting groove 2 is provided on the underside of the quick release plate 1, and the lead screw 3 is positioned within the mounting groove 2. A fastening element is provided between the lead screw 3 and the quick release plate 1 to prevent loosening of the photographic equipment. The fastening element has a plurality of connecting holes 6, a plurality of positioning holes 7, and a fixing element. The connecting hole 6 is provided on the head of the lead screw 3, and the positioning hole 7 is provided on the inner top of the mounting groove 2. The fixing element can be threaded between the connecting holes 6 and the positioning holes 7. The fixing element uses a secondary screw 5. A positioning groove 4 is provided in the center of the head of the lead screw 3, and the secondary screw 5 is removably threaded into the positioning groove 4. A threaded hole 8 is provided in the center of the inner top of the mounting groove 2, and the tip of the lead screw 3 is threaded into the threaded hole 8. Two anti-slip silicone pads 9 are installed parallel and symmetrically on the top of the quick release plate 1.

[0012] In this embodiment, the user first tightens the main screw 3 within the screw hole 8 to secure the quick-release plate 1 to the camera or photographic equipment. Next, the user uses a tool to remove the auxiliary screw 5 built into the main screw 3. The main screw 3 is then fine-tuned to vertically align the connecting hole 6 on the main screw 3 with the positioning hole 7 in the storage groove 2. The auxiliary screw 5 is then inserted into the connecting hole 6 and threaded into the positioning hole 7, firmly securing the quick-release plate 1 to the main screw 3. This prevents the main screw 3 from rotating and loosening even if the camera or photographic equipment is subject to shaking or vibration. A relatively large anti-slip silicone pad 9 is attached to the surface where the quick-release plate 1 comes into contact with the bottom of the camera or photographic equipment. By installing the anti-slip silicone pad 9, under normal use conditions (unless the quick-release plate and the camera etc. are rotated forcefully), the main screw 3 is fixed to the quick-release plate and cannot rotate, and the quick-release plate 1 and the camera or photographic equipment will not loosen, shift, or fall off.

[0013] It should be noted that in a normal state, the auxiliary screw 5 is threaded into the arrangement groove 4 and is hidden inside the main screw 3.

[0014] The number of the connecting hole 6 and the positioning hole 7 may be one or more. The shape of the connecting hole 6 and the positioning hole 7 may be a circular hole structure or an elongated hole structure. The secondary screw 5 can be threaded into the locating groove 4 , the connecting hole 6 or the positioning hole 7 .

[0015] The above are only preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent replacements or modifications made by a person skilled in the art based on the technical solutions of the present invention and the concept of its utility model within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
