In order to facilitate understanding of the support assembly provided in the embodiments of the present application, first, an application scenario thereof will be described. The support assembly provided by the embodiment of the application is used for supporting and fixing the image acquisition equipment. In use, the image capture device is secured to a mobile vehicle (e.g., a car or boat) by the support assembly to collect image information during travel of the mobile vehicle. But current support assemblies are large in size and require separate shipping. Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a support assembly, which is convenient to transport and carry. The following description is made with reference to specific drawings and examples.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a reference view of a state of use of the support assembly. The support assembly provided by the embodiment of the application is used for fixing the support image acquisition equipment on the movable carrier when the support assembly is applied.

The support assembly provided in the present embodiment includes a foldable stand 100 and a suction cup assembly 200. The foldable stand 100 is used to support and secure an image acquisition device. And the suction cup assembly 200 is used to secure the foldable stand 100 to a mobile carrier. Illustratively, the image capture device is removably secured to the foldable stand 100 when the image capture device is supported, such as the image capture device shown in FIG. 1 including the industrial camera 10, the GPS host 30, and the GPS antenna 20. The industrial camera 10, the GPS host 30, the GPS antenna 20, and the like are detachably fixed to the foldable stand 100, respectively. Of course, the same manner may be used to secure the image acquisition apparatus to the foldable stand 100 when the apparatus includes other components. The suction cup assembly 200 is fixedly connected with the foldable bracket 100 in a detachable manner. When the support assembly is in a transportation state, the sucker assembly 200 is detached from the foldable support 100, and the foldable support 100 is folded, so that the overall size of the support assembly is greatly reduced, and the support assembly can be transported by moving the carrier without special carrying out consignment. The foldable stand 100 and the suction cup assembly 200 in the support assembly according to the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2 together, the foldable stand 100 is an expandable and foldable stand. When the device is unfolded, the device is used for supporting the image acquisition equipment; when it is folded, the size is reduced for convenient transportation. When the foldable stand 100 is specifically provided, it may be selected in various sizes according to the type and size of the mobile carrier. However, whichever carrier is used, the foldable stand 100 includes at least two support beams, which are connected in a hinged manner, so that the support beams can be folded along the axis of the junction. And after folding, the length directions of at least two support beams are parallel to reduce the size of the foldable bracket 100. It should be understood that the lengthwise parallelism of at least two support beams provided by the embodiments of the present application includes perfect parallelism or near parallelism between two support beams. Wherein, approximately parallel means that the included angle between two support beams is not more than 30 degrees.

Several types of foldable stand 100 provided in embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in connection with specific different types.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 and 2 illustrate a support assembly for a small mobile vehicle. The small mobile vehicles include, but are not limited to, cars, SUVs (sport utility vehicle, i.e., sport utility vehicles) or small boats. The foldable support 100 of the support assembly includes two hinged support beams. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, two support beams are named as a first support beam 110 and a second support beam 120, respectively, for convenience of description, wherein the lengths of the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 may be the same or different, and are not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In particular connection, opposite ends of the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 are hinged. Such as in particular by a hinge connection 130, such as a hinge, etc. When the foldable stand 100 is unfolded, its state is as shown in fig. 1. The ends of the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 are abutted, and the hinge joint of the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 is locked and fixed by a locking member. The locking member may be a locking bolt or a locking latch, for example, so that the first and second support beams 110 and 120 maintain the locked state.

When the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 are locked, the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 are aligned along the length direction of the first support beam 110, and a beam body is formed by locking the two support beams. The beam body can be used as a seat body for supporting the image acquisition equipment.

Referring to fig. 2 together, when the suction cup assemblies 200 are assembled, the number of the suction cup assemblies 200 is two, and the two suction cup assemblies 200 are respectively arranged on the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. Wherein, two suction cup assemblies 200 are respectively positioned at both ends of the whole beam body, thereby supporting the whole beam body more stably.

When the sucker assembly 200 is connected with two supporting beams respectively, the sucker assembly 200 is detachably and fixedly connected with the corresponding supporting beam in a detachable mode. Illustratively, each support beam body is provided with a coupling base 300, and the suction cup assembly 200 is secured to the coupling base 300 by a threaded coupling (a bolt, a screw or a bolt assembly). The connection base 300 may be fixed to the support beam by a screw connection when being connected to the support beam.

As an alternative, the suction cup assembly 200 provided in the embodiments of the present application may be a suction cup type pan-tilt damper. The sucker type holder vibration reduction module is provided with four suckers, so that the whole support assembly can be stably adsorbed on a mobile carrier. In addition, when the suction cup type cradle head vibration absorber is arranged, the 8 pump bodies of the suction cup type cradle head vibration absorber are used for performing super vacuum and the smooth surface of the vehicle body are used for performing about 0.8 ton of downward pressure, and the suction cup type cradle head vibration absorber and the vehicle body are in near semi-permanent rigid connection. Therefore, the whole supporting component can be stably fixed on the movable carrier, and the stability of the image acquisition equipment when assembled on the movable carrier is further ensured.

When the foldable bracket 100 is folded, the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 can be rotated about the axis of the hinge, as in the double-headed arc line shown in fig. 1. After folding, the length directions of the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 are parallel, and the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 are arranged side by side, thereby reducing the size of the foldable stand. Illustratively, when folded, the first and second support beams 110, 120 are rotated 180 ° or approximately 180 ° clockwise about the axis of the hinge, thereby causing the first and second support beams 110, 120 to fold. The length of the entire beam is approximately half shortened compared to when unfolded, so that the foldable stand 100 can be conveniently placed into a mobile carrier after folding.

As an alternative, the support assembly provided in the embodiments of the present application may also have a level adjustment function. Illustratively, a level (not shown) may be provided on the collapsible bracket 100 or the suction cup assembly 200. Specifically, when the sucker assembly 200 is a sucker type damping cradle head module, a level gauge can be arranged on the sucker type damping cradle head module, and the levelness of the sucker type damping cradle head module can be adjusted through the level gauge, so that the levelness of the connected foldable bracket 100 is ensured. Of course, the level may also be provided on the foldable stand 100, such as on the first support beam 110 or the second support beam 120. The levelness of the support component fixed behind the movable carrier can be guaranteed as well, so that the overall levelness of the image acquisition equipment is guaranteed.

Referring to fig. 3 together, fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a support assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application applied to a small-sized vehicle. In use, the foldable stand 100 is secured to the vehicle 400 by the suction cup assembly 200. At this time, the foldable stand 100 is in an unfolded state, forming a straight beam body.

As can be seen from the above description, when the support assembly is applied to a small-sized mobile carrier, a linear beam body may be used to support the image capturing apparatus. On the one hand, the size of the whole supporting component is reduced, and the independent installation of a single person is facilitated. On the other hand, after folding, the image capturing apparatus, the suction cup assembly 200, and the foldable stand 100 can be conveniently placed in a mobile carrier for transportation, thereby eliminating the need for separate shipping. When moving to the region to be acquired, the image acquisition device, the sucker assembly 200 and the foldable bracket 100 can be assembled directly for image acquisition.

The foldable stand 100 includes four beams, and the four beams are hinged end to end. When the foldable stand 100 is unfolded, the four beams are abutted end to enclose a frame. For convenience of description, the four beams are respectively named as a first beam 101, a second beam 102, a third beam 103, and a fourth beam 104. The first beam 101 is disposed opposite to the third beam 103, and the second beam 102 is disposed opposite to the fourth beam 104. In the embodiment of the present application, the first beam body 101 and the third beam body 103 are all integral beams, and the second beam body 102 and the fourth beam body 104 are split beams. Illustratively, the second beam 102 and the fourth beam 104 each include two support beams, and the two support beams are hingedly connected. The specific hinge manner may refer to the hinge manner of the first support beam 110 and the second support beam 120 in fig. 1 and 2, and will not be described in detail herein. Wherein two support beams in at least one of the second beam 102 and the fourth beam 104 are detachably and fixedly connected to corresponding hinge structures 130.

When the first beam body 101 to the fourth beam body 104 are hinged, the end parts of the first beam body 101, the second beam body 102, the third beam body 103 and the fourth beam body 104 can be abutted, and two end parts of the second beam body 102 are respectively abutted against the side surface of the first beam body 101 and the side surface of the third beam body 103; the two ends of the fourth beam 104 are respectively pressed against the side surface of the first beam 101 and the side surface of the third beam 103, so that the head and tail parts of the four beams are abutted and enclosed into a frame. In addition, in locking the foldable bracket 100, two support beams in each of the opposite beams are locked and fixed at the hinge. As in the second beam 102 and the fourth beam 104, both support beams in each beam are locked at the hinge. So that the second beam 102 and the fourth beam 104 also form a similar integral beam, and ensure that the four beams can form a stable frame structure through head-to-tail butt joint.

It should be understood that the pressing manner of the end portions of the four beam bodies is only an example, and other pressing manners may be adopted to form the four beam bodies into a frame shape.

When the image capturing device is secured, different components in the image capturing device may be positioned at different locations on the foldable stand 100. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, the number of industrial cameras 10 is two, and the two industrial cameras 10 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence to the opposing second beam 102 and third beam 103. The number of the GPS antennas 20 is two, and the two GPS antennas 20 are correspondingly arranged on the first beam 101 and the third beam 103. The GPS host 30 is disposed on the first beam 101.

When the sucking disc assemblies 200 are arranged, the number of the sucking disc assemblies 200 is four, and the four sucking disc assemblies 200 are arranged on two opposite beam bodies in pairs. As illustrated in fig. 4, two suction cup assemblies 200 are provided at the second beam 102 and two suction cup assemblies 200 are provided at the fourth beam 104. The manner in which each suction cup assembly 200 is disposed on the corresponding beam body can refer to the manner in which the suction cup assemblies 200 in fig. 1 and 2 are disposed, and will not be described herein.

Illustratively, two support beams of at least one beam body are detachably fixedly connected to corresponding hinge structures upon specific folding. Such as the disassembly of the hinge structure connecting between two support beams in the second beam 102. The second beam 102 is thus divided into two sections, after which the adjacent beams (support beam, first beam 101, third beam 103) are turned around the hinge respectively so that several beams are arranged side by side and in parallel in length. The rotation directions between the adjacent hinge points are opposite (e.g., clockwise and counterclockwise) as in the connection order between the beams, thereby forming a plurality of beams in a row, the arrangement direction of which is perpendicular to the length direction of the beams, so that the frame-type foldable stand 100 is changed into several beams side by side, and the occupied space is greatly reduced after folding.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 illustrates a schematic structural view of another support assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. The support assembly shown in fig. 5 can be applied to a large mobile carrier. In the support assembly shown in fig. 5, the foldable stand 100 thereof adopts a frame-type structure. I.e., after the foldable stand 100 is unfolded, it has a rectangular frame-type structure to support the image capturing device.

The foldable stand 100 includes four beams that are hinged end to end. Each beam body is a split beam and comprises two supporting beams which are hinged. In a particular articulation, the two support beams in each beam are hingedly connected by a hinge structure 130. Wherein two support beams in at least one of the four beams are detachably fixedly connected with the corresponding hinge structure 130.

When the foldable stand 100 is unfolded, the four beams are abutted end to enclose a frame. In the case of a frame structure, the four beams are abutted end to end and enclosed into a frame, and the four beams are respectively named as a first beam 105, a second beam 106, a third beam 107 and a fourth beam 108 by way of example. Wherein, two ends of the second beam 106 are respectively pressed against the side surface of the first beam 105 and the side surface of the third beam 107; the two ends of the fourth beam 108 are respectively pressed against the side surface of the first beam 105 and the side surface of the third beam 107, so that the head and tail parts of the four beams are abutted and enclosed into a frame. In addition, the two support beams in each beam are locked in place at the hinge when the foldable bracket 100 is locked. As in the first beam 105, the second beam 106, the third beam 107 and the fourth beam 108, both support beams in each beam are locked at the hinge. So as to ensure that the four beam bodies can form a stable frame structure through head-to-tail butt joint.

The different components of the image capturing device may be positioned at different locations on the foldable stand 100 while the image capturing device is stationary, and are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

When the sucking disc assemblies 200 are arranged, the number of the sucking disc assemblies 200 is four, and the four sucking disc assemblies 200 are arranged on two opposite beam bodies in pairs. As illustrated in fig. 5, two suction cup assemblies 200 are provided at the first beam 105 and two suction cup assemblies 200 are provided at the third beam 107.

In use, the foldable stand 100 is secured to the vehicle 500 by the suction cup assembly 200. At this time, the foldable stand 100 is in an unfolded state, forming a straight beam body.

When the foldable stand 100 is folded, two support beams of at least one beam body are detachably and fixedly connected with corresponding hinge structures. When the folding is carried out specifically, the hinged joint of the two support beams of one of the split beams can be disassembled. Such as the disassembly of the hinge structure connecting between two support beams in the second beam 106. The second beam 106 is thus divided into two sections, after which any adjacent support beams are each turned around the hinge, so that several support beams are arranged side by side and in parallel in length. The rotation directions between adjacent hinge points are reversed (e.g., clockwise and counterclockwise) such that adjacent support beams are rotated about the axis of the hinge to be parallel along the length of the support beams, such that the plurality of support beams are aligned in a row, for example, in the order of connection between the support beams. As can be seen from the above description, the frame-type foldable stand 100 is changed into several support beams side by side after folding, which greatly reduces the occupied space.
