While FIG. 7 illustrates the base plate 123 as being a unitary structure with the center tube 120, it is to be understood that in other embodiments, the base plate 123 may be nested within the center tube 120. The bottom plate 123 has a limiting function, and the bottom plate 123 can abut against one side of the second sliding block 230 far away from the first sliding block 220, so as to prevent the first sliding block 220 and the second sliding block 230 from sliding in the axial direction of the central tube 120 in a transitional manner, and prevent the first sliding block 220 and the second sliding block 230 from being separated from the central tube 120 at the bottom of the central tube 120.

In the process that the second slider 230 drives the supporting leg 330 to move to the bottom of the outer tube 130, the supporting leg 330 can penetrate through the first opening 132 and the second opening 124 to be exposed out of the outer periphery of the outer tube 130. When the leg 330 moves to the bottom of the outer tube 130, the first slider 220 can apply an external force to the cam 320, and the cam 320 drives the leg 330 relative to the first rotating shaft 310, so that the leg 330 is unfolded at the bottom of the outer tube 130. When the bottom plate 123 is provided with the second opening 124, the legs 330 can be better exposed to the outer periphery of the outer tube 130 for deployment, and at the same time, the cam 320 can better drive the legs 330 to rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 310. It is understood that in other embodiments, one of the second opening 114 and the first opening 132 may be omitted. I.e., second opening 114, may be omitted, in which case leg 330 extends through first opening 132, such that leg 330 is deployed at the bottom of outer tube 130. Alternatively, the first opening 132 may be omitted, with the leg 330 extending through the second opening 114, to allow the leg 330 to expand at the bottom of the outer tube 130.

When the first sliding block 220 drives the second sliding block 230 to move axially along the central tube 120, the sliding block 233 can be accommodated in the sliding groove 125 and can move along the sliding groove 125. The center tube 120 is provided with the slide groove 125 and the second slider is provided with the slider 233, so that the second slider 230 can move along the center tube 120 more stably. Meanwhile, the second sliding block 230 does not rotate circumferentially with the central tube 120, so that the position of the leg 330 relative to the first opening 132 and the second opening 124 is not shifted during the movement of the leg 330 along the central tube 120 by the second sliding block 230.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in an embodiment, the tripod 10 further includes a locking structure 400, and the locking structure 400 can fix the position of the second slider 230 so as to enable the tripod 10 to be in a storage state, thereby facilitating the storage and storage of the tripod 10 by a user.

The first end 411 of the locking member 410 can rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 420, so that the second end 412 of the locking member 410 is clamped on the second sliding block 230, and the tripod 10 enters a storage state.

To achieve the clamping of the second end 412 of the locking member 410 to the second slider 230, the second end 412 is provided with a hook 413. When the first end 411 of the locking member 410 rotates relative to the second rotating shaft 420, the hook 413 of the second end 412 is clamped on a side of the second slider 230 far away from the first slider 220, so that the second end 412 is clamped on the second slider 230.

In an embodiment, the locking structure 400 further includes a second elastic member 430, the second elastic member 430 is disposed on the second rotating shaft 420, and two different sides of the second elastic member 430 are respectively clamped to the first end 411 and the outer tube 130. The second elastic member 430 can release the elastic force, so that the first end 411 of the locking member 410 can automatically rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 420, and the rotation of the locking member 410 drives the hook 413 to be clamped on the second sliding block 230, so that the tripod 10 is in a storage state, and therefore, the use of the tripod 10 by a user is more convenient.

In one embodiment, the locking member 410 is provided with a locking groove 414, the locking groove 414 is provided at an end of the locking member 410 close to the first end 411, and an end of the second elastic member 430 can be received in the locking groove 414. The locking groove 414 fixes the second elastic member 430, and prevents the second elastic member 430 from moving in the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 420.

In an embodiment, the outer tube 130 is further provided with a third opening 133 and a fourth opening 134. The third opening 133 and the fourth opening 134 are arranged in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the outer tube 130, and the third opening 133 is located on the side near the top end of the outer tube 130. The second rotating shaft 420 is located in the third opening 133, and the first end 411 of the locking member 410 can penetrate through the third opening 133, so that the first end 411 of the locking member 410 is connected with the outer tube 130 through the second rotating shaft 420. The hook 413 of the locking member 410 can penetrate through the fourth opening 134, so that when the first end 411 rotates relative to the second rotating shaft 420, the hook 413 is clamped on the second slider 230.
