A photography kit is provided in an embodiment of the disclosure, which, referring to
The first locking assembly 30 can be telescopically mounted to the mounting seat 2. A limiting part 310 of the first locking assembly 30 can extend from the front end of the mounting seat, and the limiting part 310 is configured for being inserted into a positioning hole 62 correspondingly defined in the first frame 61.
In this embodiment, a clamping space is formed by the heads of the two clamping bodies 1 and the front end of the mounting seat 2 for clamping the first frame 61, the limiting part 310 of the first locking assembly 30 can extend from the front end of the mounting seat 2, and a pressing space is formed between the two pressing parts 13 and the two sides of the mounting seat 2. During assembly, when user presses the two pressing parts 13 at the same time, the two clamping bodies 1 rotate relative to the mounting seat 2 so that a distance between the heads of the two clamping bodies 1 gradually increases, and during extending of the first frame 61 into the clamping space, two limiting parts 310 are respectively inserted into two positioning holes 62, and after the two clamping bodies 1 are released, the heads of the two clamping bodies 1 are respectively clamped and fixed on the two edges of the first frame 61, and the first locking assembly 30 abuts against the first photography assembly 6, so that a bearing force is created between the mounting seat 2 and the first photography assembly 6, and thus the two clamping bodies 1 can stably clamp the first photography assembly 6, which is labor-saving in operation and improves user experience. During disassembly, the two clamping bodies 1 are pressed again to rotate relative to the mounting seat 2, so that the heads of the two clamping bodies 1 release the first frame 61, the first photography assembly 6 is separated from the mounting seat 2, and the first locking assembly 30 is restored to an original position, which is simple in operation and improves photographing experience of users.
The first locking assembly 30 can be located between the two clamping bodies 1, so that an overall structure is compact, with a small occupied space. The pressing part 13 and the clamping body 1 may be arranged in parallel, and both the pressing part 1 and the clamping body 1 may be sheet-shaped, and the head of the clamping body 1 is configured for clamping and fixing the first frame 61 of the first photography assembly 6. For example, an internal side of the head of the clamping body 1 may have a frictional part 131 for clamping the first photography assembly 6, so that the head of the clamping body 1 can be inserted and matched or clamped with the first photography assembly 6. The clamping body 1 may be rotatably connected with the mounting seat 2 through a torsion spring and a connecting shaft 14, and a middle region of the clamping body 1 may be provided with a through hole to be rotatably connected with the connecting shaft 14. For example, each of the clamping bodies 1 can be rotatably connected with the mounting seat 2 through a respective torsion spring and a respective connecting shaft 14, and the two clamping bodies 1 can also be rotatably connected through a torsion spring. Of course, a compression spring can also be provided between the two clamping bodies 1, and the compression spring may be sleeved on a limit rod. The front end of the mounting seat 2 may be matched with the first frame 61 of the first photography assembly 6 in shape. For example, an outer surface of the first frame 61 of the first photography assembly 6 opposite to the front end of the mounting seat 2 may be a flat surface, and a surface of the front end of the mounting seat 2 may be a flat surface. As shown in
In order to press the pressing part 13 with saved labor and a large pressing space, the free end of the pressing part 13 extends from the rear end of the mounting seat 2, which also reduces a thickness of the mounting seat 2 between the two clamping bodies 1. In order to facilitate pressing, a plurality of frictional parts 131 can be formed as textures, and the frictional parts 131 can also be arranged in a convex or dot shape, and of course, they can also be in other shapes, such as tire treads.
The mounting seat 2 is further connected with the second photography assembly 7, so as to realize fixed connection between the first photography assembly 6 and the second photography assembly 7. In some embodiments, an external connection part 21 is protruded on the rear end of the mounting seat 2 for connecting the second photography assembly 7. A maximum cross-sectional area of a connecting part between the external connection part 21 and the mounting seat 2 is smaller than a surface area of the rear end of the mounting seat 2, and the external connection part 21 is located between free ends of the two pressing parts 13 so as to form a pressing space cooperatively with the pressing parts 13. The mounting seat 2 and the external connection part 21 can be integrally or separately arranged.
As shown in
Both the first photography assembly 6 and the second photography assembly 7 may be accessories for assisting in shooting by electronic devices. The first photography assembly 6 may be a camera protection frame, an L-plate, an adapter plate, etc., and the second photography assembly 7 may be a side handle, an upper hand-held, a microphone stand, etc. For example, the first photography assembly 6 is a cage (an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a stabilizer, a camera, etc.), which is also called a rabbit cage, a protective frame, etc. The cage may be half packaged or fully packaged. For example, the cage includes four frames connected in sequence, each including one or more first frames. By way of example, left and right frames are respectively provided with the first frame 61. In order to make the connection more stable, a limiting groove may be formed at an opening of the positioning hole 62, and a connecting part between the abutting member 31 and the limiting part 310 may be limited in the limiting groove.
In some embodiments, the mounting seat 2 further includes at least one elastic member 32 mounted in the mounting seat 2, and the at least one elastic member 32 is each configured for driving a respective abutting member 31 to allow the limiting part 310 to protrude from the front end of the mounting seat 2. The elastic member 32 may be a spring, and the spring is compressed or extended to realize movement of the limiting part 310 of the abutting member extending from the front end of the mounting seat 2 in a front-back direction of the mounting seat 2. One or more than one spring can simultaneously drive two abutting members by a plate body to ensure synchronization. The spring is mounted in the mounting base 2, an end of the abutting member 31 is connected with the spring, and the limiting part 310 is capable of extending from the front end of the mounting seat 2.
In this embodiment, the abutting member 31 may be in a form of any one of a cylindrical shape, a rod, a block, or a ball. When the first frame 61 of the first photography assembly 6 extends into the clamping space, the limiting part 310 of the abutting member 31 extends from the front end of the mounting seat 2, and both sides of the first frame 61 of the first photography assembly 6 push the cylinder 311 of the abutting member 31 to move towards the mounting seat 2. After the two clamping bodies 1 are released, the heads of the two clamping bodies 1 are clamped and fixed on both sides of the first frame 61 of the first photography assembly 6, so that the spring is compressed between the mounting seat 2 and the first frame 61, and thus a bearing force is created between the mounting seat 2 and the first frame 61, so that the two clamping bodies 1 can stably clamp the first photography assembly 6 and the two clamping bodies 1 can be prevented from shaking relative to the first photography assembly 6 during use. During disassembly, the first frame 61 is separated from the mounting seat 2, and the elastic member 32 drives the abutting member 31 to return to its original position, which is with a simple structure and is convenient to produce and assemble. There may be one abutting member 31, there may be two abutting members 31 arranged at intervals in parallel, or there may be more than two abutting members provided according to use requirements, which will not be set one by one here. Of course, an elastic pad, which can be a sponge pad or a silica gel pad, is attached to the front end of the mounting seat 2 or a surface of the first frame 61.

In this embodiment, the positioning rod 51 serves to mount the abutting member 31 on the mounting seat 2, and the sliding hole 312 defines a range of the abutting member 31 moving forward and backward. The spring pushes the abutting member 31 to move forward and backward along the mounting seat 2, and the sliding hole 312 has opposite first and second ends. After assembly, the spring is abutted against the abutting member 31 so that the positioning rod is located at the first end of the sliding hole 312. During assembly, when the first frame 61 of the first photography assembly 6 extends into the clamping space, the limiting part 310 is inserted into the positioning hole 62, and the first frame 61 of the first photography assembly 6 pushes the abutting member 31 to move towards the mounting seat 2, so that the first end of the sliding hole 312 gradually moves away from the positioning rod, and the second end of the sliding hole 312 gradually approaches the positioning rod. During disassembly, the first photography assembly 6 is separated from the mounting seat 2, and the spring drives the abutting member 31 to return to the original position, that is, the first end of the sliding hole 312 gradually approaches and abuts against the positioning rod and the second end of the sliding hole 312 gradually moves away from the positioning rod, which is with a simple structure, reduced overall weight, and convenient production and assembly. Of course, when there are two or more abutting members 31, the two or more abutting members 31 can be sleeved on a same positioning rod, which has a compact overall structure and a small occupied space. It can be understood that the abutting members 31 can also be sleeved on different positioning rods, which is not limited here.
Referring to
In this embodiment, the clamping part 11 can prevent the first frame 61 from being separated from the front end of the mounting seat 2, and the slot 63 is defined at both opposite sides of the first frame 61. After assembly, each clamping part 11 is clamped into a respective slot 63, and the abutting member 31 abuts against the first frame 61, so that the clamping part 11 is more closely attached to a rear wall of the slot 63.
Referring to
In this embodiment, in order to make the clamping part 11 be attacked to the first frame 61 more closely and reduce clearance, a surface of the clamping part 11 facing the clamping body 1 is an inclined surface, and there is an included angle α between the clamping part 11 and the clamping body 1, and the first frame 61 is correspondingly provided with an inclined surface matching with the clamping part 11, which facilitates assembly of the first frame 61.
To sum up, the photography kit includes two abutting members 31, and the two clamping bodies 1 can be rotatably connected with the mounting seat 2. After assembly, the cylinder 311 of the abutting member 31 extends from the front end of the mounting seat 2, and the two clamping bodies 1 are arranged on opposite sides of the mounting seat 2 in parallel, and the external connection part 21 of the rear end of the mounting seat 2 is connected with the second photography assembly. During a process of mounting the first photography assembly 6 on the photography kit, the pressing parts 13 at tails of the two clamping bodies 1 are pressed, so that the tails of the two clamping bodies 1 compress the torsion spring arranged therebetween, and the heads of the two clamp bodies 1 are opened, and arc surfaces of the two sides of the first frame 61 gradually slide between the heads of the opened clamping bodies 1 along the arc surfaces of the two clamping parts 11, and at the same time, the two positioning holes 62 of the first frame 61 are respectively aligned with the limiting parts 31 of the two abutting members 31, so that the cone at the free end of the cylinder 311 gradually extends into the positioning hole 62 until a part of the abutting member 31 abuts against the positioning groove at the opening of the positioning hole 61, the spring connected with an end of the abutting member 31 away from the limiting part 310 is compressed, the two pressing parts 13 are released, and the clamping parts 11 of the two clamping bodies 1 are respectively clamped into the slots 63 at both sides of the first frame 61, thereby realizing the fixed connection of the first photography assembly 6 and the second photography assembly 7.
In unlocking, the pressing parts 13 at the tails of the two clamping bodies 1 are pressed again to make the free ends of the pressing parts 13 close to each other, so that the tails of the two clamping bodies 1 compress the torsion spring arranged therebetween and the heads of the two clamping bodies 1 are opened, and at the same time, the two clamping parts 11 are decoupled from the two slots 63, so that the first frame 61 is gradually removed from the front end of the mounting seat 2 between the heads of the two opened clamping bodies 1, and at the same time, the limiting parts 310 of the two abutting members 31 are gradually detached from the positioning holes 62, thus separating the first photography assembly 6 from the clamping assembly 10.
The above are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and neither the words nor the drawings can limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the contents of the specification and the drawings of the present disclosure under the overall concept of the present disclosure, or directly/indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
