The inclined surface 21 is marked with scales, and the relative position of the fixing plate 2 and the base 1 in the radial length direction can be adjusted. The upper surface of the fixing plate 2 is also provided with a slide groove 24 in which the screw 22 can slide. A fixed plate rubber plug 23 is arranged at one end of the chute 24. The slide groove 24 has strip-shaped anti-slip pads 25 on both sides thereof for fixing the camera.

The control member 3 is pivotally connected to the base 1, the control member 3 includes a trigger 31, a connecting rod 32 connected to the trigger 31, and a pivot 34 connecting one end of the connecting rod 32 to the trigger 31, the other end of the connecting rod 32 passes through the base 1 and is fixedly connected to the locking member 4, the connecting rod 32 can be a screw, and the other end of the connecting rod has threads for cooperating with a nut 53. The trigger 31 has a biasing portion 35, the biasing portion 35 is eccentrically rotatable about the pivot shaft 34, and a peripheral edge of the biasing portion 35 abuts against one side of the base 1 when rotated. Preferably, the base 1 has a hollow pad 15 on one side of the flange 13 for abutment with the offset 35, which may be integrally formed with the base 1 or may be separately formed. The offset 35 is eccentrically arranged with respect to the pivot axis 34 so as to move the locking member 4 towards or away from the side of the fixed plate 2 when rotated. The trigger 31 further includes a knob 36 and a locking force adjusting hole 33, and the locking force adjusting hole 33 preferably has a hexagonal hole so that the amount of the locking force applied to the fixing plate 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the depth of the connecting rod 32, which is inserted into the locking member 4, using a hexagonal wrench.

The locking member 4 has a connecting portion 42, and a movable portion 41 capable of pivoting relative to the connecting portion 42, the connecting portion 42 is fixedly connected with the control member 3, and the movable portion 41 has a catching structure 43 for catching the fixing plate 2. The catch formation 43 is an inclined ramp.

The movable portion 41 includes a pressing portion 44 on one side, the other side of the movable portion 41 is pivotally connected to the connecting portion 42 via a pivot shaft 51, and a reset member 52 is further disposed between the connecting portion 42 and the movable portion 41, as shown in fig. 4. The restoring member 52 includes a spring and an abutting portion, a housing groove 49 is provided in the connecting portion 42, and the spring of the restoring member 52 is housed in the housing groove 49. The movable portion 41 abuts against the restoring member 52 through the connecting structure 45, and the bottom of the distal end thereof has a projection. The connecting portion 42 of the locking member 4 has a receiving hole 46, and the nut 53 is received in the receiving hole 46.

The connecting part 42 of the control member 3 and the locking member 4 is connected through the connecting rod 32, the pivoting of the control member 3 drives the locking member 4 to move between a locking position and an unlocking position, and the locking member 4 abuts against the inclined surface of the fixing plate 2 at the locking position, so that the fixing plate 2 is locked on the base 1; when the control member 3 is pivoted to move the locking member 4 to the unlocking position, the locking member 4 is moved towards the side remote from the fixing plate 2, so that the fixing plate 2 is released from the base 1.

Fig. 4 more clearly shows the abutting structure of the connecting structure 45 of the movable portion 41 and the restoring member 52. When the pressing portion 44 of the movable portion 41 is pressed downward, the connecting structure 45 pivots and the projecting portion thereof presses the restoring member 52, compressing the spring, thereby having a downward reaction moment on the projecting portion. When the pressing is released, the elastic moment of the spring drives the connecting structure 45 to pivot reversely so that the movable portion 41 can be resiliently restored. After the assembly is completed, the lower surface of the movable part 41 of the locking member 4 is gradually inclined upward from the end close to the connecting part 42 to the end away from the connecting part 42, so that a space is reserved for the pivoting movement of the movable part 41 when the quick-connect device 100 is fixed to the pan/tilt head (as shown in fig. 6).

A through hole 47 for accommodating the link 32 of the control member 3 is also provided in the connecting portion 42. As shown in fig. 5, the connecting portion 42 further has two notches 48 at the other side away from the movable portion 41, respectively disposed at both sides of the through hole 47, for receiving the spring 54. The other end of the spring 54 abuts against the side wall of the base 1. When the trigger 31 of the control member 3 is in the locked state, the spring 54 is in a compressed state.

The utility model also provides a photographic equipment, including cloud platform and camera, quick connecting device 100's base 1 can be preassembled to the cloud platform, the camera can be fixed in on fixed plate 2, and figure 6 shows a part of this photographic equipment (the camera is not shown).

Fig. 7A-7C illustrate the method of installation and removal of the quick connect device 100 of the present invention. When the fixing plate 2 is installed, the wrench buckle 31 is rotated to directly press the fixing plate 2 into the limiting groove 17 from top to bottom, and then the wrench buckle 31 is closed to complete the installation.

Specifically, when the trigger 31 eccentrically rotates around the pivot shaft 34, when the smaller diameter side of the offset portion 35 abuts against the cushion table 15, the screw 32 of the control member 3 is pushed to axially displace inward, and the locking member 4 is driven to integrally move to the other side, so that the clamping structure 43 is released from the fixing plate 2 and moves to the unlocking position, and the movable portion 41 can pivotally move relative to the connecting portion 42, so that the fixing plate 2 can be directly pressed into the opening 14 of the base 1 from top to bottom, and the inclined surface 21 of the fixing plate 2 is clamped between the clamping structure 43 of the locking member 4 and the base 1. When the trigger 3 is closed, the larger diameter side of the offset portion 35 abuts against the cushion table 15, and the screw 32 moves outward, so that the driving latch structure 43 abuts against and is fixed on the inclined surface 21, and the movable portion 41 is preferably not movable relative to the fixed portion, i.e. the installation is completed.

When the fixing plate 2 is removed, the trigger 31 is opened, and then the pressing portion 44 of the locking member 4 is pressed downward, so that the fixing plate 2 can be taken out from the lower portion and the upper portion.

Through the structure, the utility model discloses can install and dismantle the fixed plate more conveniently.
