Abstract
Description
A 360-degree photo booth that avoids rotating winding Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photographic and video camera devices, and in particular to a 360-degree photo booth that avoids rotation and winding. Background Art
[0002] The 360-degree photo booth is a novel shooting equipment that is loved by fashion experts, celebrities, online anchors, variety shows, etc. and is willing to use it. It can shoot all kinds of cool and creative images, which surprise the audience and are increasingly attracting people who have not used it yet to try it out.
[0003] Currently, users primarily use their smartphones as filming devices, though some also employ more specialized cameras mounted on rotating stands in 360-degree photo booths. When the camera is in operation, the camera's photography and video capture, combined with the screen's display power consumption, the high-speed writing of storage chips, and the processor's computational processing, consume significant power. Add to this the need for peripherals like microphones and fill lights, as well as live streaming and real-time image rendering. The limited battery capacity of the camera can't sustain extended operation, leading to rapid battery drain, limiting the user's shooting time and preventing them from fully utilizing the 360-degree photo booth to capture their work and livestream.
[0004] The conventional solution is to add a power bank to the rotating shooting stand to power the shooting equipment. However, the battery cells of the power bank are dense and heavy, and cannot be well adapted to be placed on the rotating shooting stand. This can easily cause the rotating shooting stand to lose balance, causing the stand to shake, the shooting picture to be shaky, and there is also the risk of the power bank being thrown out.

[0030] 1 to 3 , this embodiment provides a 360-degree photo booth that avoids rotation and winding, including:
[0031] A support spindle 1, wherein a threading cavity 110 is provided inside the support spindle 1, and a threading through hole 120 communicating with the threading cavity 110 is provided on a side wall of the support spindle 1;
[0032] a shooting bracket 2, the shooting bracket 2 being rotatably connected to the supporting main shaft 1;
[0033] The conductive slip ring 3 is mounted on the shooting bracket 2 and is rotatably connected to the support main shaft 1; the power connection end 310 of the conductive slip ring 3 passes through the wire through hole 120 and the wire through cavity 110 through the first power line 4 and is connected to the external power supply.
[0034] The end of the first power cable 4, remote from the power connection terminal 310, can be connected to an external power outlet or another type of power source. The first power cable 4 passes through the cable through-hole 120 and the cable through-hole 110 and is connected to the power connection terminal 310 of the conductive slip ring 3. This connects the first power cable 4 and the conductive slip ring 3 to an external power source. The power supply terminal 320 of the conductive slip ring 3 provides power, and the camera device located on the camera support 2 receives power from the power supply terminal 320 via the power cable, an electrical outlet, or a charger. The conductive slip ring 3 is mounted on the camera support 2, rotating with the camera support 2. The first power cable 4, which passes through the cable through-hole 120 and the cable through-hole 110 and is connected to the power connection terminal 310, will not become entangled or interfere with the camera support 2. This structure prevents the first power cable 4 from being in the path of the camera support 2 as it rotates about the support spindle 1, thereby preventing entanglement and potential malfunctions between the power cable and the camera support 2.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, which also include a power socket, which includes a socket body 510 and a second power cord 520 electrically connected to the socket body 510; the socket body 510 is installed on the shooting bracket 2; the second power cord 520 is arranged along the shooting bracket 2 and electrically connected to the power supply end 320 of the conductive slip ring 3.
[0036] Compared with the power bank, the power socket body 510 is a shell, a conductive sheet, and a cable structure, which is lighter and avoids the disadvantages of the power bank being heavy and only being able to power one or two shooting devices, causing the shooting bracket 2 driven by the driving device to shake and the shooting picture to shake.
[0037] The second power cord 520 is arranged along the shooting bracket 2 to prevent the first power cord 4 and the second power cord 520 from appearing in the path space of the shooting bracket 2 rotating around the support main shaft 1, thereby avoiding winding and entanglement between the electrical wires and the shooting bracket 2 and causing failures.
[0038] 1 to 3 , a driving device is included for driving the photographing bracket 2 to rotate around the supporting main shaft 1 . The photographing bracket 2 is connected to the end face of a driven wheel 610 in the driving device. The driven wheel 610 is rotationally connected to the supporting main shaft 1 .
[0039] The drive device can be implemented by existing technology and includes a motor 620 and a driving wheel 630 mounted on the motor power output shaft. When the driven wheel 610 and the driving wheel 630 are both gears, the two are directly meshed and driven. When the driven wheel 610 and the driving wheel 630 are both pulleys, the two are connected by a transmission belt.
[0040] Please refer to FIG. 2 , which includes a first bearing 7 , wherein the first bearing 7 is sleeved around the outer wall of the supporting main shaft 1 , and the shaft hole of the driven wheel 610 is sleeved around the outer ring of the first bearing 7 .
[0041] By providing the first bearing 7 between the driven wheel 610 and the supporting main shaft 1 , the friction between the two can be reduced.
[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, which include a second bearing 8 and a support frame 9; the second bearing 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the support main shaft 1, and the conductive slip ring 3 is arranged between the shooting bracket 2 and the second bearing 8; the support frame 9 includes a support plate 910 and a support rod 920; the support plate 910 is connected to the outer ring of the second bearing 8; one end of the support rod 920 is connected to the shooting bracket 2 and the other end is connected to the support plate 910.
[0043] Compared with the traditional photo booth, the present photo booth is additionally provided with a conductive slip ring 3 of the ring-shaped supporting main shaft 1. Compared with the conventional supporting main shaft, the length of the supporting main shaft 1 is designed to be longer.
[0044] In addition, the end of the shooting bracket 2 that is away from the connection with the driven wheel 610 is connected to multiple shooting devices, which increases the weight of the shooting bracket 2 and causes the shooting bracket 2 to sag. Considering that there is a gap between the inner ring, outer ring, and ball of the bearing itself, the longer the shooting bracket 2 extends outward, the heavier it is, and the degree of sinking and tilting is further increased. At the connection between the shooting bracket 2 and the driven wheel 610, the structural gap in the first bearing 7 connected to the driven wheel 610 is affected and amplified. When a single first bearing 7 rotates, the driven wheel 610 directly or indirectly connected to it and the shooting bracket 2 will tilt and swing more significantly relative to the support main shaft 1. The shooting devices mounted on the shooting bracket 2 will also swing up and down more significantly, affecting the quality of the imaging work.
[0045] The second bearing 8 and the support frame 9 provide an additional auxiliary support for the rotational connection between the shooting bracket 2 and the support main shaft 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the shooting bracket 2 and preventing the shooting bracket 2 from swinging up and down due to excessive weight at one end connected to multiple shooting devices.
[0046] In some embodiments, the outer contour of the support plate 910 is rectangular, and the number of support rods 920 is four, which are evenly distributed to connect the shooting bracket 2 and the support plate 910.
[0047] Referring to FIG. 1 , the support plate 910 is provided with a weight-reducing through hole 911 .
[0048] The material of the support plate 910 is optimized by using the weight-reducing through holes 911 to reduce the weight and improve the transportation convenience of the photo booth.
[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. The shooting bracket 2 includes a first bracket 210 and a second bracket 220. The first bracket 210 and the second bracket 220 are adjustably connected to each other. The first bracket 210 and / or the second bracket 220 are telescopic brackets. The first bracket 210 is used to connect and install the shooting equipment. The shooting bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the support main shaft 1 through the second bracket 220. The socket body 510 is installed on the second bracket 220.
[0050] The shooting equipment can be any one of a camera, a mobile phone, a fill light, and a microphone.
[0051] 2 , the power socket further includes a third power line 530 electrically connected to the socket body 510 ; the third power line 530 is arranged along the first bracket 210 and the second bracket 220 for supplying power to the shooting device.
[0052] The third power line 530 can directly supply power to the shooting device. Its layout also avoids interference with the rotating shooting bracket 2 and the risk of cable entanglement.
[0053] 1 and 3 , the shooting bracket 2 further includes a balancing bracket 230 connected to the second bracket 220 or the supporting main shaft 1 . The balancing bracket 230 is located on the opposite side of the second bracket 220 with the supporting main shaft 1 as the boundary.
[0054] The balancing bracket 230 includes a frame body and a balancing block. Like the second bearing 8 and the support frame 9, the balancing bracket 230 also serves to prevent the end from being connected to multiple shooting devices, which would increase the weight of the shooting bracket 2 and cause the shooting bracket 2 to sag. The shooting bracket 2 would swing up and down during rotation, affecting the quality of the imaging work.
[0055] The balancing bracket 230 can be indirectly connected to the support main shaft 1 by being connected to the driven wheel 610. The balancing bracket 230 can also be directly connected to the second bracket 220.
[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 and 3, which include a supporting stage 10 and a supporting base 11; the two ends of the supporting main shaft 1 are respectively connected to the supporting stage 10 and the supporting base 11; the supporting stage 10 includes a cover plate 1010, a supporting frame 1020, and shock-absorbing cotton 1030; the shock-absorbing cotton 1030 is arranged between the cover plate 1010 and the supporting frame 1020; the cover plate 1010 and the supporting frame 1020 are detachably connected; the supporting frame 1020 is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing holes 1021.
[0057] The second bracket 220 is located between the supporting stage 10 and the supporting base 11. The weight-reducing holes 1021 can reduce the weight of the supporting stage 10 and optimize the use of materials.
[0058] Please refer to FIG1 , the socket body 510 is provided with a power supply jack 511, and the power supply jack 511 is any one of a DC socket power supply jack, a two-hole, a three-hole, a USB-A, and a USB Type-C.
[0059] The charger head is connected to a two-pin or three-pin power socket 511, which then supplies power to the camera mounted on the first bracket 210 via a wire. The camera bracket 2 can be provided with multiple clips to secure the wires, allowing them to be routed along the camera bracket 2 and preventing them from loosening and swaying, which could result in tangling.
[0060] If a charging head is not needed, the corresponding connecting cable can be used to connect to the DC socket power supply port, USB-A, or USB Type-C power supply port 511 to directly power the shooting device.
[0061] The number of power supply sockets 511 can be multiple.
