Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to photographic equipments, and in particular to a photographic sliding rail.

BACKGROUND

We know current moveable type photographic sliding rail available on the market has a sliding block mounted on a guide rail for placing a camera; since the surface of the sliding block is always in a horizontal plane with the guide rail, when the photographic sliding rail is tilted, the sliding block is also tilted with the sliding rail. If a camera is mounted on the sliding block at this time, the camera is caused to be tilted too. As we know, when the camera is in moving shooting, the lens is required to be kept in a horizontal state substantially. Therefore, when the sliding rail is tilted, an additional angle adjustment plate is required for correction so as to place the lens in a horizontal position. Therefore, people often need to carry an additional horizontal adjustment tripod head while carrying a moveable type photographic sliding rail, this not only results in inconvenient carrying, but also the assembly and disassembly of the horizontal adjustment tripod head will greatly delay the best time for shooting when the sliding rail needs to be set up quickly to shoot.

SUMMARY

The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks in the existing technologies and provide a sliding block of an angle-adjustable photographic sliding rail, which has a reasonable structure, so that an additional horizontal adjustment tripod head is no longer needed, without repeated assembly and disassembly of the horizontal adjustment tripod head which results in cumbersome operation of the photographic sliding rail and delay the best time for shooting.

In order to solve the above existing technical problem, the disclosure adopts a technical scheme as follows.

A sliding block of an angle-adjustable photographic sliding rail includes a sliding block body, an angle adjustment plate having one end swingingly connected to the sliding block body via a rotating shaft, and a stepless adjustment strutting structure arranged between the sliding block body and the angle adjustment plate.

In a modified embodiment of the above sliding block of angle-adjustable photographic sliding rail, the stepless adjustment strutting structure includes a strut rod with one end thereof swingingly connected to the angle adjustment plate, a bolt penetrating through a horizontal hole of the sliding block body and a strip-shaped hole on the other end of the strut rod, and a tilted locking knob screwed on the bolt to lock the adjustment plate that is in an open state.

In a modified embodiment of the above sliding block of angle-adjustable photographic sliding rail, a horizontal locking plate structure used for locking the angle adjustment plate in a horizontal state is arranged on the sliding block body.

In a modified embodiment of the above sliding block of angle-adjustable photographic sliding rail, the horizontal locking plate structure includes a horizontal lock catch vertically swingingly connected in an open slot of the sliding block body, and a lock catch spring for urging the horizontal lock catch in proper place to buckle the angle adjustment plate.

Compared with the existing technologies, the disclosure has the advantages as follows: as the angle adjustment plate is swingingly connected to one end of the sliding block body, and the stepless adjustment strutting structure is arranged between the sliding block body and the angle adjustment plate, when the photographic sliding rail cannot be put in place and needs to be tilted for use, the stepless adjustment strutting structure can be loosened first, and then the angle adjustment plate can be swung and opened to place the lens of a camera or video camera on the angle adjustment plate at a horizontal position, to achieve the angle adjustment of the angle adjustment plate. Therefore, when people use the angle-adjustable photographic sliding rail, there is no need to carry an additional horizontal adjustment tripod head, and thus will not delay the best time for shooting caused by repeated assembly and disassembly of the horizontal adjustment tripod head. The disclosure has a reasonable structure, and, when it is applied to a photographic sliding rail, a photographing lens can be ensured to be always in a horizontal state by adjusting the sliding block.
