The present invention provides a handheld device for photography, which includes a bracket200and a handle100separated from the bracket200, wherein the handle100is provided with a first assembly part, the bracket200is provided with a second assembly part, the first assembly part and the second assembly part are detachably connected, and the bracket200and the handle100are respectively provided with a power supply part and a wireless charging part.

In this embodiment, the first assembly part is a dovetail groove101, and the dovetail groove101is concavely arranged on the outer surface of the handle100, and the second assembly part is a dovetail inclined plane201; there are at least two dovetail inclined planes201, both of which are provided at the end of the bracket200facing the first assembly part. When the first assembly part is connected with the second assembly part, the two dovetail inclined planes201are respectively inserted into the two ends of the dovetail groove101.

When the bracket200needs to be installed on the handle100, it is only necessary to insert the end of the bracket200with the dovetail inclined plane201along the opening direction of the dovetail groove101until it completely enters and is fixed in the dovetail groove101. This connection method utilizes the matching between the dovetail inclined plane201and the dovetail groove101, and realizes the stable connection between the bracket200and the handle100through the interaction between the inclined plane and the groove. At the same time, due to the special shape of dovetail groove101, bracket200is not likely to loosen or fall off after insertion, which ensures the stability and reliability of connection.

When the bracket200needs to be disassembled, the user only needs to pull the bracket200out of the dovetail groove101in the opposite direction. This detachable connection mode makes it convenient to disassemble and assemble the bracket200and the handle100, thus providing greater flexibility for the user.

In terms of carrying, by detaching the bracket200from the handle100, the overall occupied area and weight can be significantly reduced, making it more convenient to carry, which is undoubtedly an important advantage for users who need to move or carry equipment frequently.

In other embodiments (not shown in the attached drawings), the detachable connection between the bracket200and the handle100can also be snap connection, screw connection and any other way that can realize the detachable connection;

For example, when the bracket200and the handle100are connected by clamping, the first mating part and the second mating part are respectively configured as clamping structures that can cooperate with each other, such as buckles, claws or the like.

When the bracket200and the handle100are connected by threaded connection, the first mating part and the second mating part are respectively configured as threaded connection structures that can cooperate with each other, such as external threads and internal threads.

In this embodiment, a locking tongue300is rotatably connected in the handle100. One end of the locking tongue300penetrates into the dovetail groove101and is set as a clamping part301, while the other end of the locking tongue300penetrates out of the handle100and is set as a pushing part302. A side of the bracket200facing the handle100is provided with a locking tongue groove203. When the first assembly part is connected with the second assembly part, the clamping part301of the locking tongue300is inserted into the locking tongue groove203.

The handle100is provided with a space for the locking tongue300, the clamping part301and the pushing part302to move, and a torsion spring is arranged at the rotating connector of the locking tongue300and the handle100, so that the whole locking tongue300and the clamping part301can be driven to rotate by pushing the pushing part302; and by arranging the torsion spring at the rotating part, when the locking tongue300is pushed to rotate, the torsion spring will be twisted and generate elastic force, so that when the locking tongue300is removed by the applied external force, the torsion spring will push the locking tongue300to rotate and reset by the resilience.

Therefore, before the bracket200is connected with the handle100through the matching of the dovetail inclined plane201and the dovetail groove101, the pushing part302is first moved to push the locking tongue300to rotate, and when the locking tongue300rotates, the clamping part301will shrink into the handle100, so that the bracket200can be smoothly inserted into the dovetail groove101.

When the bracket200is completely inserted into the dovetail groove101, the pushing part302is released, and then the locking tongue300automatically rotates and resets by the elastic force of the torsion spring. At the same time, the clamping part301extends from the handle100and is inserted into the locking tongue groove203, so that the bracket200can be limited in the up-and-down direction through the cooperation of the clamping part301and the locking tongue groove203, so that the bracket200cannot be pulled out of the dovetail groove101, otherwise, when the bracket200needs to be detached from the handle100, it is only necessary to retract the clamping part301back into the handle100.

In other embodiments (not shown in the attached drawings), the locking tongue300can also be installed on the handle100in a sliding way, so that the clamping part301can slide in or out of the dovetail groove101. When the clamping part301slides into the dovetail groove101, it will engage with the locking tongue groove203, otherwise it will disengage from the engaging part.

In this embodiment, a first connector102is installed at the bottom of the dovetail groove101, and a second connector202is installed at one end of the bracket200inserted into the dovetail groove101. The first connector102and the second connector202are a male connector and a female connector respectively. When the first assembly part is connected with the second assembly part, the first connector102and the second connector202are connected, and the side of the bracket200facing away from the handle100is set as a bearing surface. The bearing surface207is relatively flat and used for bearing photographic equipment. The outer periphery of the handle100is set as the handheld part103, and the power supply part is the storage battery400, which is installed in the handle100and electrically connected with the first connector102. The wireless charging part is a wireless charging coil205, which is installed in the bracket200and electrically connected with the second connector202. Inside the bracket200, a magnet group204surrounding the outside of the wireless charging coil205is installed.

The handle100can be grasped by holding the handheld part103, the storage battery400is provided with a charging port penetrating through the handle100, and the storage battery400can be charged through the charging port; the wireless charging coil205is equipped with a wireless charging chip, which can be adapted to photographic equipment with wireless charging function; when the bracket200is installed on the handle100, the first connector102will communicate with the second connector202;wherein the storage battery400is a device for providing electric energy, which is connected with the second connector202on the handle100through the first connector102. This connection mode allows the storage battery400to provide electric power for the wireless charging coil205on the bracket200, and the parameters such as the capacity and voltage of the storage battery400should be reasonably selected according to the charging requirements of the photographic equipment.

According to the above, the electrified wireless charging coil205will generate an electromagnetic field, which interacts with a wireless charging receiver in the photographic equipment to wirelessly transmit electric energy to the photographic equipment, so that the user can charge the photographic equipment very conveniently without using the traditional charging cable and adapter.

The power supply part is not limited to the storage battery400, but in other embodiments, the power supply part can also be a power connection mechanism with wires, in which the power connection mechanism is a device that can be connected with an external power supply, which is usually equipped with wires for transmitting electric energy from the external power supply to the inside of the equipment. When in use, users only need to connect the wires of the power connection mechanism with the external power supply (such as a wall socket, a mobile power supply, a car charger, etc.), so that the external power supply can be realized as a power connection mechanism.

Therefore, once the power connection mechanism is connected with the external power supply and gets power supply, it will transfer the power to the wireless charging coil205through the internal circuit system. The wireless charging coil205is a key component in the equipment to realize the wireless charging function, and it can receive the electric energy from the power receiving mechanism and wirelessly transmit the electric energy to the equipment that needs charging through the electromagnetic induction principle.

In this example, the bearing surface207can be attached to photographic equipment, such as a mobile phone, as shown inFIG.10. At the same time, a magnet should be arranged on the side where the photographic equipment is in contact with the bearing surface207, so that the photographic equipment can be adsorbed on the bracket200through the cooperation between the magnet of the photographic equipment and the magnet group204, so that the bracket200can be quickly fixed on the bracket200.

In other embodiments (not shown in the attached drawings), the bracket200can also be installed on the bracket200by clamping mechanism or screw connection.

According to the above, when fixing by clamping, the clamping mechanism can be designed to match the bracket200and the parts or structures to be installed, so as to ensure stable and firm connection, and the clamping mechanism can be adjusted manually or automatically to adapt to parts with different sizes or shapes; When screw connection is adopted, threaded holes or through holes can be preset on the bracket200, so that the screws can pass through these holes and be screwed into the corresponding threaded holes in the parts or structures to be installed, wherein the screw connection provides strong connection force and stability, and is suitable for photographic equipment that needs to bear heavy load or vibration; in addition to clamping and screw connection, there are many other connection methods that can be used to install the bracket200, such as bonding, suction cups, etc., and which connection method to choose depends on the specific application requirements, environmental conditions and costs.

Then, after the bracket200is installed on the handle100, the photographic equipment with wireless charging function is installed on the bracket200, so that the storage battery400can supply power to the wireless charging coil205through the connection of the first connector102and the second connector202, and then the electrified wireless charging coil205wirelessly charges the photographic equipment, so that the photographic equipment can be charged very conveniently in this way.

According to the above, the side of the bracket200facing the handle100is also rotatably connected with a support206, and the support206can be turned and folded. When the support206is folded, the support rod is attached to the surface of the bracket200, so that when the bracket200is connected with the handle100, the support206may be closely attached to the bracket200to reduce the overall volume and facilitate carrying.

However, when the bracket200needs to be detached from the handle100and used to support the photographic equipment alone, the support206can play its unique role as follows:the overturning action enables the support206to change from a position close attaching to the bracket to a position at an angle with the bracket, thus forming a stable support structure;thus, when the support206is turned in place, a stable triangular support structure will be formed among the bracket200, the support206and the photographic equipment, which can ensure that the photographic equipment remains stable on a flat plane and is not easy to fall or slide, as shown inFIG.11;in order to further improve the stability of the support structure, anti-skid design, such as rubber pad or texture design, can be added to the bottom of the support206; these anti-skid measures can increase the friction between the support and the plane and prevent the photographic equipment from sliding or moving during the placing process.

In other embodiments, the side of the bracket200provided with the support206can also be provided with a receiving groove, and the support206is rotatably arranged in the receiving groove, and the size and shape of the receiving groove are matched with those of the support206, so that the support206can be received in the receiving groove when the support206is not used, which makes the surface of the bracket200smoother and the user experience be improved.

The present invention further provides a method for supporting photographic equipment, which includes that following steps: adopting a handheld device for photography which includes a bracket200and a handle100which is separated from the bracket200, wherein the handle100is provided with a first assembly part, and the bracket200is provided with a second assembly part, wherein the first assembly part is a dovetail groove101, and the second assembly part is a dovetail inclined plane201; the bracket200and the handle100are respectively provided with a power supply part and a wireless charging part; the bottom of the dovetail groove101is provided with a first connector102; one end of the bracket200inserted into the dovetail groove101is provided with a second connector202; one side of the bracket200facing the handle100is provided with a locking tongue groove203; a locking tongue300is rotatably connected in the handle100; one end of the locking tongue300penetrates into the dovetail groove101and is set as a clamping part301, and the other end of the locking tongue300penetrates through the handle100and is set as a pushing part302;the method comprises the following steps:Step 1, the bracket200and the handle100are connected through the matching of the first assembly part and the second assembly part; when the bracket200is connected with the handle100, one end of the bracket200with the dovetail inclined plane201is inserted into the dovetail groove101of the handle100; before the bracket200is inserted into the handle100, the pushing part302of the locking tongue300is pushed to rotate, so that the clamping part301of the locking tongue300is retracted into the handle100; when the bracket200is inserted into the handle100, the pushing part302is released, and the locking tongue300is elastically restored, and at the same time, the clamping part301extends from the handle100and is inserted into the locking tongue groove203, thereby fixing the bracket200and the handle100; when the bracket200and the handle100are fixed, the first connector102is connected with the second connector202, so that the wireless charging part is connected with the power supply part and electrified;Step 2, the photographic equipment is attached to the surface of the bracket200and fixed;Step 3, the photographic equipment is wirelessly charged by using a wireless charging part; when the photographic equipment is installed on the bracket200, the wireless charging part after being powered on wirelessly charges the photographic equipment;Step 4, the handle100is grasped and shooting is performed with the photographic equipment.
