Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a photographing apparatus, and a photographing apparatus 10 includes a connection base 100 and a photographing device 200. The connection base 100 can support and connect various photographing devices 200 with different structural sizes, so that the photographing apparatus 10 can conveniently load various photographing devices 200, and various photographing effects can be achieved.

In one embodiment, the connection base 100 is disposed on a support assembly (not shown, the same applies below), and the connection base 100 is used for detachably connecting with the photographing device 200. The supporting assembly can be connected with the photographing devices 200 of different structural sizes through the connecting seat 100, so that the photographing apparatus 10 can conveniently load various photographing devices 200, and various photographing effects can be realized.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the connector 100 includes a housing 1100, a clamping assembly 1200 and an unlocking member 130. The locking assembly 1200 is movably disposed on the housing 1100, and is used for locking with the photographing device 200. The unlocking member 130 is movably provided on the housing 1100 so as to be movable to an unlocking position. When the unlocking member 130 moves to the unlocking position, the unlocking member 130 cooperates with the clamping assembly 1200 to drive the clamping assembly 1200 to be separated from the photographing device 200.

In the above-mentioned connection base 100, the photographing device 200 can be fixed on the housing 1100 by the fastening assembly 1200, so that the photographing device 200 and the supporting assembly have a certain relative position. Because the unlocking piece 130 can separate the clamping assembly 1200 from the shooting device 200 when moving to the unlocking position, the shooting device 200 can be unlocked by simply adjusting the position of the unlocking piece 130, so that the unlocking and the disassembly are more convenient.

With respect to the photographing device 200, since various photographing devices 200 can be connected to the supporting member through the connection base 100 described in the embodiments, there is no need to provide a complicated connection structure for adapting to the supporting member on the photographing device 200, thereby facilitating miniaturization of the photographing device 200 itself and improving portability of the photographing device 200.

It is to be understood that the photographing device 200 may be a dedicated camera such as a motion camera or a panoramic camera, or may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone having a photographing function. The above-mentioned support member is specifically, for example, an external accessory such as a selfie stick for the photographing device 200, i.e., the housing 1100 is for connection with the selfie stick. Thus, the photographing device 200 of various structural sizes can be adaptively connected to the self-timer stick through the connection base 100.

Of course, the support assembly is not limited to a selfie stick. For example, the support assembly may further include a carrying bag for receiving the photographing device 200, or a wearable fastening device such as a neck strap structure, a helmet, etc., which enables the photographing device 200 to have a stable position with respect to the support assembly through the connection base 100.

Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, housing 1100 includes a mounting side 1101 for contacting camera 200, and unlock member 130 moves away from mounting side 1101 to an unlock position. Therefore, when the photographing device 200 needs to be detached from the connection base 100, the unlocking member 130 is only required to be driven to move, so that the whole connection base 100 and the photographing device 200 can be separated at the same time when the clamping assembly 1200 is driven to be separated from the photographing device 200. So set up, the camera 200 is dismantled more smooth, convenient and fast from connecting seat 100.

The direction in which the unlocking piece 130 moves to the unlocking position is defined as the unlocking direction, i.e., the direction away from the mounting side 1101 is defined as the unlocking direction. Therefore, when the photographing device 200 needs to be disassembled, only the driving force along the unlocking direction needs to be applied to the unlocking member 130, and the driving force can be transmitted to the housing 1100 through the unlocking member 130, so as to drive the whole connecting seat 100 to be separated from the photographing device 200. That is, the photographing apparatus 10 in each embodiment of the present utility model can realize the separation of the connection base 100 and the photographing device 200 while unlocking, and is more convenient and quick to detach. The unlocking direction described in the various embodiments is referenced by the numeral K in fig. 2.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in another embodiment, the unlocking member 130 may further move to the unlocking position in a direction approaching the mounting side 1101, that is, in a direction in which the unlocking member 130 points to the mounting side 1101, that is, in a direction in which the camera 200 is separated from the housing 1100. When the camera 200 needs to be detached from the connector 100, the unlocking member 130 is driven to move toward the mounting side 1101, and the camera 200 can be pushed to be separated from the housing 1100. So set up, the camera 200 is dismantled more smooth, convenient and fast from connecting seat 100.

That is, the unlocking member 130 may be moved to the unlocking position in a direction away from or toward the mounting side 1101. The following embodiments are described by taking the example of movement of the unlocking member 130 in a direction away from the mounting side 1101 to the unlocking position. It should be appreciated that the unlocking member 130 can be moved to the unlocking position in a direction approaching the mounting side 1101 by adjusting the positional relationship and the connection relationship of the structure related to the unlocking member 130.

Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, in an embodiment, the connection seat 100 further includes a first reset element 140, the first reset element 140 is connected between the unlocking element 130 and the housing 1100, and the unlocking element 130 elastically compresses the first reset element 140 when moving to the unlocking position. The unlocking member 130 may include an unlocking position and a locking position when moving relative to the housing 1100, and since the unlocking member 130 elastically compresses the first reset member 140 when moving to the unlocking position, when the unlocking member 130 loses the driving force, the first reset member 140 elastically pushes the unlocking member 130 to restore to the position before moving, i.e. the first reset member 140 drives the unlocking member 130 to restore to the locking position. It is understood that the first restoring member 140 is an elastic member.

With continued reference to fig. 4, in one embodiment, a limiting slot 1125 may be concavely formed in the housing 1100, one end of the first reset element 140 is disposed in the limiting slot 1125 in a penetrating manner so as to abut against the bottom wall of the limiting slot 1125, and the other end of the first reset element 140 abuts against the unlocking element 130. In this way, the limiting groove 1125 limits the elastic expansion and contraction direction of the first restoring member 140, so that the first restoring member 140 can be stably abutted against the unlocking member 130. In this embodiment, the first restoring member 140 may be a compression spring. Of course, the first restoring member 140 may be provided as another elastic member.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the housing 1100 is provided with a guide portion 1124, and the guide portion 1124 extends along the moving direction of the unlocking member 130, that is, the guide portion 1124 extends along the unlocking direction. The unlocking member 130 includes an operating portion 131 extending in the width direction of the housing 1100, and the operating portion 131 is slidably engaged with the guide portion 1124 and partially located outside the housing 1100. In this manner, the unlocking member 130 can be driven to move in the unlocking direction by the portion of the operating portion 131 located outside the housing 1100, so that the connection base 100 can be separated from the photographing device 200.

Referring to fig. 6, the length direction of the case 1100 is referred to in the X-axis direction of fig. 6, the width direction of the case 1100 is referred to in the Y-axis direction of fig. 6, and the thickness direction of the case 1100 is referred to in the Z-axis direction of fig. 6. Compared with the arrangement of the operation parts distributed along the length direction of the casing 1100, the operation space is larger when the operation parts 131 are arranged to be distributed along the width direction of the casing 1100 in the embodiment, and the operation space is less likely to be blocked by the photographing device 200 when the operation parts are unlocked, so that the unlocking is more convenient.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the guide portion 1124 includes a guide hole 1124a, and the guide hole 1124a is formed on two opposite sides of the housing 1100. Both ends of the unlocking piece 130 are respectively provided with an operation part 131, the operation parts 131 penetrate through the guide holes 1124a and are at least partially positioned outside the shell 1100, and the operation parts 131 are in sliding fit with the hole walls of the guide holes 1124a and move to the unlocking position along the unlocking direction under the guiding action of the guide holes 1124 a. It will be appreciated that since the unlocking direction is the direction away from the mounting side 1101, the guide hole 1124a may be opened on two sides directly connected to the mounting side 1101.

Of course, in another embodiment, the unlocking member 130 may be provided with the operating portion 131 at only one end. At this time, the opposite sides of the housing 1100 are respectively provided with a guide hole 1124a and a guide groove, the operating portion 131 is inserted through the guide hole 1124a, and one end of the unlocking member 130 far away from the operating portion 131 is located in the guide groove and slidingly engaged with the groove wall of the guide groove.

Referring to fig. 5, in one embodiment, the connection base 100 further includes a second reset element 150, where the second reset element 150 is connected between the housing 1100 and the clamping assembly 1200, and is used for elastically maintaining the clamping assembly 1200 for clamping with the photographing device 200. In this way, when the unlocking member 130 is driven to move by no driving force, the clamping assembly 1200 can be clamped with the photographing device 200, so that the relative position between the connecting seat 100 and the photographing device 200 is more stable.

Specifically, the clamping assembly 1200 may include a fastening position and a release position, where the clamping assembly 1200 is capable of being clamped and matched with the photographing device 200 when in the fastening position; the clamping assembly 1200 is in the undamped position for separation from the camera 200. The second restoring member 150 is an elastic member, when the unlocking member 130 moves to the unlocking position, the locking assembly 1200 can be driven to move to the releasing position and simultaneously compress the second restoring member 150 elastically, and when the unlocking member 130 loses the driving force, the second restoring member 150 can push the locking assembly 1200 elastically to restore to the locking position and maintain at the locking position.

Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment, a connection portion 210 adapted to be snapped with a snap-fit assembly 1200 may be disposed on the photographing device 200. It can be appreciated that, since the connection portion 210 is only used to simply adapt to the clamping with the clamping assembly 1200, the structure is relatively simple, and does not occupy more space in the photographing device 200.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5, in one embodiment, the clamping assembly 1200 includes a plurality of buckles 1210 each for clamping with the photographing device 200. When the unlocking member 130 is at the unlocking position, a part of the unlocking member 130 is located between the plurality of buckles 1210, and is used for simultaneously pushing the plurality of buckles 1210 to separate from the photographing device 200. In this embodiment, by disposing a part of the unlocking member 130 between the plurality of buckles 1210, the unlocking member 130 can conveniently drive the plurality of buckles 1210 to move away from the photographing device 200 at the same time, without driving each buckle 1210 separately. Thus, on one hand, the structure of the connection base 100 is simpler, and on the other hand, the unlocking mode is simpler, and each buckle 1210 does not need to be driven to move independently.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in one embodiment, at least two buckles 1210 are respectively distributed on two sides of the unlocking member 130, and the buckles 1210 are rotatably connected with the housing 1100. The unlocking member 130 includes two wing plates 132 extending toward the two buckles 1210, respectively. When the unlocking member 130 is in the unlocking position, the two wing plates 132 are respectively used for pushing the two buckles 1210 to separate from the photographing device 200. So configured, the two wings 132 can simultaneously drive the buckle 1210 to rotate towards the release position, so that the connecting seat 100 is separated from the photographing device 200.

Referring to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the movement direction of the two latches 1210 to the release position is shown as reference Q1 in fig. 4; the direction of movement of the two latches 1210 toward the latched position is shown at Q2 in fig. 4.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in one embodiment, at least two buckles 1210 of the plurality of buckles 1210 are used to move in opposite directions when separated from the photographing device 200. Taking the number of the buckles 1210 as two as an example, in this embodiment, the two buckles 1210 are in complementary fit with the photographing device 200 in a clamping manner, so that the probability of separating the buckles 1210 from the photographing device 200 due to external shaking can be reduced under the condition that the unlocking member 130 does not drive the two buckles 1210 to move. In other words, the clamping assembly 1200 and the photographing device 200 can be clamped more firmly.

Of course, the number of the buckles 1210 is not limited to two, and the number and the distribution of the buckles 1210 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual requirements. For ease of understanding, the following description will take the example in which the clamping assembly 1200 includes two buckles 1210 as an example, and the same is true when the number of the buckles 1210 is plural, so that the description is omitted.

It can be appreciated that in this embodiment, the photographing device 200 may be provided with a plurality of connection portions 210, and the connection portions 210 are engaged with the buckles 1210 in a one-to-one correspondence.

In this embodiment, the number of the second reset members 150 may correspond to the number of the buckles 1210, and the second reset members 150 are connected with the springs in a one-to-one correspondence, and are used for elastically maintaining the clamping assembly 1200 for clamping with the photographing device 200.

With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, in one embodiment, the clamping assembly 1200 includes an abutment surface 1213a, and the abutment surface 1213a is configured to move in a direction against the elastic force of the second reset member 150 under the pushing of the photographing device 200. That is, when the photographing device 200 needs to be engaged with the connection base 100, the abutting surface 1213a can overcome the elastic force of the second reset element 150 to establish an engaging connection with the engaging component 1200. In this way, the process of clamping the photographing device 200 and the clamping assembly 1200 is simpler and more convenient, and the photographing device 200 can overcome the elasticity of the second reset member 150 and be clamped with the clamping assembly 1200 only by pressing the photographing device 200 in the direction close to the connecting seat 100. In addition, the connection between the clamped photographing device 200 and the clamping assembly 1200 can be more stable through the elastic force of the second reset piece 150, and the influence of shaking on the photographing device 200 is reduced.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the self-adaptive locking and the active unlocking of the photographing device 200 can be completed through the matching of the unlocking member 130, the clamping assembly 1200 and the second resetting member 150, so that the structure of the connection seat 100 is simpler and more stable.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in one embodiment, the buckle 1210 includes a hook portion 1213, an abutment portion 1211, and a rotation portion 1212 connected between the hook portion 1213 and the abutment portion 1211. The rotation portion 1212 is rotatably connected to the housing 1100, the unlocking piece 130 abuts against the abutment portion 1211, and the unlocking piece 130 presses down the abutment portion 1211 by the wing 132 to rotate the hook portion 1213 around the rotation portion 1212. The hook portions 1213 of the two latches 1210 are disposed opposite to each other, and the abutment portions 1211 of the two latches 1210 are disposed opposite to each other. When the unlocking piece 130 moves away from the mounting side 1101, the abutting portions 1211 of the two buckles 1210 can be simultaneously pressed down, so that the hook portions 1213 correspondingly rotate to be separated from the photographing device 200.

With continued reference to fig. 4 and fig. 5, the abutting surface 1213a is disposed on the hook 1213, and the abutting surface 1213a is used to drive the hook 1213 to move in a direction overcoming the elastic force of the second reset element 150 under the pushing of the photographing device 200. That is, the abutment surface 1213a is used to drive the hook 1213 to move toward the release position as a whole under the pushing of the camera 200. In this embodiment, the rotation track of the hook 1213 is an arc centered on the rotation portion 1212, and the contact surface 1213a intersects the track arc, that is, the contact surface 1213a is not tangential to the track arc. In this way, when the imaging device 200 contacts the contact surface 1213a, a component force exists in the tangential direction of the trajectory arc, and the component force can push the hook 1213 to rotate toward the release position.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, in one embodiment, the connecting portion 210 includes a receiving groove 211 and a limiting portion 212, the limiting portion 212 is protruded on an inner peripheral wall of the receiving groove 211, and the limiting portion 212 is spaced from a bottom wall of the receiving groove 211 to form a matching cavity 213 for receiving the hook portion 1213. Referring to fig. 4, when the photographing device 200 approaches the connecting base 100, the limiting portion 212 approaches and pushes against the abutment surface 1213a, so that the buckle 1210 moves toward the release position against the elastic force of the second restoring member 150. When the hook 1213 passes over the limiting portion 212, the buckle 1210 rotates towards the locking position under the action of the second reset element 150 to be locked into the mating cavity 213 due to the loss of the pushing action of the limiting portion 212. In this way, the photographing device 200 is engaged with the engaging unit 1200. It should be understood that in the above-mentioned clamping process, only a pushing force overcoming the elasticity of the second reset element 150 needs to be provided to the photographing device 200, and the clamping process is simple and reliable and convenient to operate.

Similarly, referring to fig. 4 and 8, when the unlocking member 130 is pressed down to rotate the abutting portion 1211 around the rotating portion 1212 and drive the hook portion 1213 to rotate correspondingly, the hook portion 1213 withdraws from the mating cavity 213 and avoids the limiting portion 212. Thus, the photographing device 200 can be separated from the connection base 100. In the unlocking process, the shooting device 200 can be separated from the connection seat 100 only by pressing the unlocking piece 130, and the unlocking process is simple and reliable and is convenient to operate.

Referring to fig. 9 again in combination with fig. 5, in one embodiment, a rotation shaft 1111 may be disposed on the housing 1100, and the rotation portions 1212 of the two latches 1210 are respectively connected to the rotation shafts 1111 in a rotation manner. The rotation shaft 1111 can support the position of the buckle 1210, and can limit the rotation direction of the buckle 1210, so that the rotation movement of the abutment portion 1211 is stably transmitted to the hook portion 1213, and the hook portion 1213 is separated from the photographing device 200.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in the present embodiment, the second restoring member 150 may be a torsion spring, the second restoring member 150 may be sleeved on the rotating shaft 1111, one end of the second restoring member 150 abuts against the abutting portion 1211, and the other end of the second restoring member 150 abuts against the housing 1100 to elastically push the buckle 1210 to rotate towards the locking position.

In some embodiments, the manner of connection of the clasp 1210 to the housing 1100 is not limited to a rotational connection. For example, in this embodiment, the snap assembly 1200 may be a sliding fit with the housing 1100. The unlocking piece 130 is provided with a first inclined surface, the clamping assembly 1200 is provided with a second inclined surface which is abutted against the first inclined surface, and the first inclined surface is abutted against the clamping assembly 1200 to slide in a direction separated from the shooting device 200. In other words, in this embodiment, the movement of the unlocking member 130 may be converted into the separation movement of the clamping assembly 1200 and the photographing device 200 by pushing with the wedge-shaped inclined surface.

Specifically, the clip assembly 1200 may still include two snaps 1210. The unlocking piece 130 comprises two first inclined planes facing obliquely downwards, the two buckles 1210 are respectively positioned at two sides of the unlocking piece 130, and the second inclined planes of the two buckles 1210 face obliquely upwards and correspond to the corresponding first inclined planes. When the unlocking member 130 moves downwards, the two first inclined planes push against the two second inclined planes respectively, so that the two buckles 1210 move away from each other, and the hook 1213 can withdraw from the matching cavity 213 and avoid the limiting part 212, so as to unlock the shooting device 200.

In this embodiment, the two second restoring members 150 may be respectively abutted between the two buckles 1210 and the housing 1100. For example, the second restoring member 150 may be a compression spring, one end of the second restoring member 150 abuts against the side surface of the buckle 1210 away from the unlocking member 130, and the other end of the second restoring member 150 abuts against the housing 1100.

In one embodiment, when the clamping assembly 1200 is slidably engaged with the housing 1100, a guiding structure (not shown) may be further provided in the housing 1100, and the clamping assembly 1200 is slidably engaged with the guiding structure. The guiding structure can adapt to the shape of the clamping assembly 1200 and the movement track of the clamping assembly 1200, so as to guide the movement of the clamping assembly 1200 clamping the shooting device 200 and guide the movement of the clamping assembly 1200 separated from the shooting device 200.

Referring to fig. 6 and 9, in one embodiment, the housing 1100 includes a top cover 1110 and a base 1120, and the base 1120 is hollow to form a receiving cavity 1123. The top cover 1110 is coupled to the base 1120 to relatively isolate the receiving cavity 1123 from the outside. A part of the structure of the clamping assembly 1200 is located in the accommodating cavity 1123, and another part of the structure of the clamping assembly 1200 is located outside the accommodating cavity 1123 for connecting with the photographing device 200. The wing plate 132 of the unlocking member 130 is located in the accommodating cavity 1123 to be in driving connection with the clamping assembly 1200, and the operating portion 131 of the unlocking member 130 is located outside the accommodating cavity 1123 so as to be used for driving the unlocking member 130 to move. The first reset element 140 and the second reset element 150 are all disposed in the accommodating cavity 1123.

Referring to fig. 9, a rotating shaft 1111 may be disposed on the top cover 1110, and the rotating shaft 1111 is disposed in the receiving cavity 1123 to be rotatably connected with the rotating portion 1212 of the buckle 1210.

Referring to fig. 6, a limiting slot 1125 may be formed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 1123, so that the first restoring member 140 can push the unlocking member 130 in a direction approaching the top cover 1110. Thus, when the unlocking member 130 loses the pressing force, the unlocking member 130 can return to the position before pressing under the action of the first resetting member 140.

Referring to fig. 4, the mounting side 1101 is located on a side of the top cover 1110 remote from the base 1120.

Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 4 again, in one embodiment, the connection base 100 further includes a positioning structure 160 disposed on the housing 1100, and the positioning structure 160 is used for positioning and matching with the photographing device 200 to enable the clamping assembly 1200 to be correspondingly clamped with the photographing device 200. That is, the positioning structure 160 can facilitate the alignment between the photographing device 200 and the connection base 100, so that the limiting portion 212 can correspondingly push the contact surface 1213a, thereby realizing the adaptive snap-in photographing device 200 of the snap-in assembly 1200. The positioning structure 160 may be specifically disposed on the top cover 1110.

Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the positioning structure 160 includes a plurality of positioning bodies 161, and the plurality of positioning bodies 161 are configured to be in plug-in fit with the positioning slots 220 on the photographing device 200. The plurality of positioning bodies 161 is gradually reduced in structural size in a direction away from the housing 1100. In this way, the position of the photographing device 200 relative to the connecting seat 100 can be gradually adjusted to the desired position by the guiding action of the positioning body 161 on the positioning slot 220. The positioning body 161 may be cone-shaped or mesa-shaped, that is, the positioning body 161 may be cone-shaped, truncated cone-shaped, pyramid-shaped, or pyramid-mesa-shaped. It can be appreciated that the plurality of positioning bodies 161 are respectively matched with the positioning grooves 220, so that the position of the photographing device 200 relative to the connecting seat 100 can be completely positioned.

In one embodiment, the positioning body 161 is disposed on the mounting side 1101, that is, the positioning body 161 protrudes from a side of the top cover 1110 near the photographing device 200. The number of the positioning bodies 161 can be 2, 3, 4, etc.

Referring to fig. 4 and 8, in one embodiment, the positioning structure 160 includes a plurality of first magnetic members 162, and the photographing device 200 is provided with a second magnetic member 230. The first magnetic members 162 are respectively distributed on two sides of the unlocking member 130 to correspond to the positions of the plurality of buckles 1210, and the first magnetic members 162 are configured to be magnetically engaged with the second magnetic members 230 on the photographing device 200. In this way, the shooting device 200 and the connecting seat 100 can be aligned magnetically. Moreover, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 162 and the second magnetic member 230 can also provide power for the photographing device 200 to push against the contact surface 1213a, so as to reduce the force applied by the user to press the photographing device 200, and even eliminate the need for the user to press the photographing device 200. Further, since the positions of the plurality of first magnetic members 162 can correspond to the positions of the plurality of buckles 1210, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic members 162 and the second magnetic members 230 can also assist the snap connection effect between the buckles 1210 and the photographing device 200, so that the connection between the photographing device 200 and the connection base 100 is more stable, and the interference of external force is resisted.

It can be appreciated that, due to the simple structure and the simple unlocking manner of the connector 100 in the embodiments, the housing 1100 may have a surplus space for placing the first magnetic member 162. The first magnetic member 162 may be disposed at a side of the top cover 1110 opposite to the photographing device 200, i.e., the first magnetic member 162 may be disposed in the receiving cavity 1123.

Referring again to fig. 1, in one embodiment, the housing 1100 is further provided with a connecting member 1121, and the housing 1100 can be connected to the support assembly through the connecting member 1121. The connector 1121 may be hinged to the base 1120, and the base 1120 is provided with a receiving groove 1122 for receiving the connector 1121.

It should be understood that in the above embodiments, the direction in which the connection base 100 is separated from the photographing device 200 is the same as the moving direction of the unlocking member 130. In other embodiments, the direction in which the connecting seat 100 is separated from the photographing device 200 may be opposite to the moving direction of the unlocking member 130 by adjusting the relative position relationship between the operating portion 130 and the locking assembly 1200, and the position and the connection relationship of the structures related to the two.

The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
