The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.

Although current support can be dismantled through threaded connection's form, the mode of screw thread dismouting still is comparatively inconvenient, need set up not unidimensional support to the camera of different models moreover, and general type is also relatively poor, and to this problem, this application provides following technical scheme, specifically as follows.

Referring to fig. 1 to 8 together, the camera support provided in this embodiment includes a frame 100 having a supporting member 110 and a force-receiving member 120, which are oppositely disposed, wherein the supporting member 110 and the force-receiving member 120 are directly or indirectly fixedly connected, and a pressing space 140 is formed therebetween; the camera bracket further comprises a connecting rod 200 movably arranged on the supporting member 110 in a penetrating way and capable of reciprocating along the length direction of the connecting rod 200; the camera bracket further comprises a pressing piece 300 which is positioned in the pressing space 140; one end of the connecting rod 200 located in the pressing space 140 is connected to the pressing member 300, and the pressing member 300 is matched with the force-bearing member 120 relatively for clamping at least part of the structure of the camera; the camera bracket further includes an elastic member 500 for applying elastic pressure to the pressing member 300. The structure of the connecting rod 200 movably penetrating the support member 110 may be implemented by forming a through hole 111 or a notch on the support member 110, and optionally, the through hole may be formed at the center of the support member 110, so that the connecting rod 200 movably penetrates the center of the support member 110.

The supporting member 110 and the force-receiving member 120 may be disposed in parallel or disposed in an acute angle, for example, the acute angle may be between 30 degrees and 60 degrees, when the two are parallel, the two may be indirectly fixed by other structures, when the two have an acute angle, the two may be directly connected, the supporting member 110 mainly serves to receive the connecting rod 200 and the pressing member 300 as a receiving base for the reciprocating motion of the pressing member 300, and the force-receiving member 120 mainly serves to cooperate with the pressing member 300 to form an elastic pressing effect, so as long as the force-receiving member 120 can form a relative cooperation with the pressing member 300, the supporting member 110 only needs to form a receiving base for the connecting rod 200, and as for the specific structure, shape and number of components of the frame 100, no specific limitation is made. The pressing member 300 may be shaped like a plate or other structures, and the pressing effect on the camera is more stable when the area of the pressing member 300 capable of being engaged with the force receiving member 120 is larger, but the pressing member 300 is not limited to be in any other structural form, such as a circle, a column, a sphere, etc., according to the specific structure of the camera, and is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 2, in an alternative scheme, in addition to the supporting member 110 and the force-receiving member 120, the frame 100 further includes a side wall plate 130, the supporting member 110 and the force-receiving member 120 are both plate-shaped members, two of the plate-shaped members are fixed relatively to each other through the side wall plate 130, and an opening 150 capable of exposing the pressing space 140 is further formed between the two plate-shaped members. At this time, the frame 100 structure composed of the supporting member 110, the force receiving member 120 and the sidewall plate 130 may form a stable connection between the supporting member 110 and the force receiving member 120, or may be an indirect connection, the sidewall plate 130 may be an arc shape, a straight plate shape, a plate shape having a bent structure, or the like, as long as a part of the space between the supporting member 110 and the force receiving member 120 can be enclosed, and the connection between the supporting member 110 and the force receiving member 120 is more stable as the enclosed part area is larger.

After the side wall plate 130 forms a stable connection between the supporting member 110 and the force receiving member 120 in the circumferential direction, the side wall plate 130 needs to form a circle less than the circumference of the supporting member, so as to reserve an opening 150, the opening 150 is used to expose the pressing member 300 and the pressing space 140, and then a passage for the camera clamping end to extend into the pressing space 140 is formed, and the camera extends into the pressing space 140 through the opening 150. Moreover, in an alternative, the two plate-like members may be relatively parallel; the number of the sidewall plates 130 is two, and the two sidewall plates 130 may be symmetrically disposed on two opposite sides of the two plate-shaped members to form a rectangular-ring-shaped rectangular frame in longitudinal section and form two opposite openings 150. The frame 100 may be a square frame 100, or may have other shapes, and the opening 150 is formed on one side surface or two side surfaces of the square frame 100, and is used for extending into a clamping end of the camera. Therefore, the frame 100 not only can form a bearing base for the movement of the pressing member 300, but also can cooperate with the pressing member 300 to realize the clamping of the camera.

As an optional solution, with continued reference to fig. 1, when two opposite openings 150 are formed, the camera bracket further includes a limiting member 700 disposed on the force-receiving member 120, and at least a portion of the limiting member 700 is higher than the upper surface of the force-receiving member 120; the limiting member may also be a screw or a threaded rod, and may further include a washer 710 sleeved on the limiting member 700. Since at least a part of the limiting member 700 is higher than the surface of the force-receiving member 120, the limiting member 700 can actually interfere with the space between the pressing member 300 and the force-receiving member 120, and this interference is mainly reflected in that when the clamping end of the camera extends into the space between the pressing member 300 and the force-receiving member 120 from the opening 150 on one side, the limiting member 700 can prevent the camera from coming out from the opening 150 on the other side by means of abutting interference, and further abut and fix the camera to prevent the camera from coming out.

Continuing to refer to fig. 2, a limiting portion 400 for limiting the movement distance of the connecting rod 200 is disposed at one end of the connecting rod 200 outside the pressing space 140, after the connecting rod 200 is inserted into the through hole 111, two ends of the connecting rod 200 are respectively located at two sides of the through hole 111, and can be limited by the limiting portion 400, so as to move in the through hole 111 and be prevented from separating from the through hole 111 under the limitation of the limiting portion 400, so as to ensure the stable movement of the connecting rod 200, at this time, the limiting portion 400 may be a rigid component, or may be a flexible component, for example, the connecting rod 200 is a screw, and a screw head of the screw forms the limiting portion 400; the pressing member 300 is provided with a second threaded hole 320, and the screw is in threaded connection with the second threaded hole 320. In addition, the connecting rod 200 and the position-limiting portion 400 may be separated and formed by two separate components, and the two components may be assembled by means of screw connection, clamping connection, etc. so as to facilitate disassembly and replacement.

The elastic member 500 is not limited to various forms, and may be a member or material having an elastic effect, and only needs to have a sufficient elastic force and be applied between the supporting member 110 and the pressing member 300, and by using the elastic force, the supporting member 110 and the pressing member 300 may have a relatively separated elastic effect, and at the same time, the elastic force may also form an elastic effect of approaching between the pressing member 300 and the force receiving member 120, so that the pressing member 300 may cooperate with the force receiving member 120 to form an elastic clamping effect according to the elastic force.

Referring to fig. 1, when the camera is fixed, the connecting rod 200 may be pulled first to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 500 and separate the pressing member 300 from the stressed member 120, so as to leave a space for holding the camera, at this time, the holding end of the camera extends into the pressing space 140 and is located between the pressing member 300 and the stressed member 120, and then the connecting rod 200 may be released to release the elastic force of the elastic member 500, so that the pressing member 300 elastically presses the camera between the pressing member 300 and the stressed member 120 under the action of the elastic force applied by the elastic member 500, so as to form a fixed elastic clamp for the camera, thereby completing the fixing of the camera, and only the reverse repeated operation is needed when the camera is released, which is not described herein again.

In an alternative embodiment, the elastic member 500 is a compression spring, which is sleeved on the connecting rod 200 and has two ends elastically abutting between the pressing member 300 and the supporting member 110. The spring can be used for applying elastic force, the installation between the spring and the connecting rod 200 is convenient, the sleeved installation form is stable, the elastic force applying direction of the spring applied between the supporting piece 110 and the pressing piece 300 can be ensured not to deviate, and the elastic clamping between the pressing piece 300 and the stressed piece 120 is more stable.

For the stable movement of the connecting rod 200 in the through hole 111, the side wall plate 130 is provided with a guide rail structure 131, and the guide track of the guide rail structure 131 is parallel to the length direction of the connecting rod 200; the pressing member 300 is connected to the rail structure 131 through a rail member 132 in a guiding manner. The guide rail structure 131 can guide the movement of the connecting rod 200, so that the connecting rod 200 can only drive the pressing member 300 to move according to a preset direction, the movement of the pressing member 300 is completely and strictly moved according to the directions far away from and close to the stressed member 120, and the clamping effect between the pressing member 300 and the stressed member 120 is also ensured.

The rail structure 131 may be an open-hole structure or an additional rail structure, and in an alternative, with reference to fig. 1, the rail structure 131 is a long waist-shaped hole, and one end of the rail member 132 is connected to the pressing member 300, and the other end is connected to the long waist-shaped hole in a guiding manner. At this time, the rail member 132 can move along the long waist hole, and the guide track of the long waist hole also strictly defines the movement of the rail member 132, and further, the direction in which the pressing member 300 can move. The rail member 132 may adopt a column, a sheet, a block, or the like structure, and in an alternative, the rail member 132 is a screw, the pressing member 300 is provided with a first threaded hole 310, and the screw is in threaded connection with the first threaded hole 310. The rail member 132 can be conveniently coupled to the pressing member 300 by means of a screw structure, and the head of the screw can be restrained from the long waist hole to prevent detachment.

As an optional solution, with continued reference to fig. 1, the camera bracket further includes a connecting lug 600 disposed on the force-receiving member 120, and the connecting lug 600 is provided with a mounting hole 610. The engaging lug 600 can facilitate the installation of the whole camera bracket on a vehicle, and the mounting hole 610 can penetrate through a screw and other rod-shaped members, so as to assist the installation of the camera bracket.
