Referring to fig. 1, the support stand 10 includes three parts of a base 100, a stand body 200, and a central shaft 300. The base 100 is used for connecting the stand body 200 and the central shaft 300, the stand body 200 is connected with the base 100 and is used for being supported on a support which provides a horizontal or substantially horizontal plane, such as a ground or a desktop, etc., the central shaft 300 is movably arranged on the base 100 and can move relative to the base 100 along the thickness direction of the base 100, and the central shaft 300 is used for installing shooting equipment or other electronic equipment. The center shaft 300 can be fixed in height by friction between the outer wall of the center shaft 300 and the inner wall of the base 100 during the up-and-down movement along the thickness of the base 100. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the fixing of the relative position between the base 100 and the central shaft 300 (the height position of the central shaft 300) may also be fixed by a locking member or other methods.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2 in combination, the stand body 200 includes a plurality of legs 210, the stand body 200 is capable of being switched between a deployed and a stowed state, the stand body 200 in this embodiment is a tripod, the number of legs 210 is 3, one end of the legs 210 is rotatably connected with the base 100, and the other end of the legs 210 is capable of enabling the stand body 200 to be switched between the deployed and the stowed state by being moved away from and toward. In fig. 1, the stand body 200 is in a unfolded state, and the three legs 210 are far away from each other and can be unfolded in a tripod supporting state and stably support the supporting stand 10 on a horizontal or substantially horizontal support, so that the photographing apparatus mounted on the supporting stand 10 is stably supported on the support, and the stability of the photographing apparatus during photographing is ensured. In fig. 2, the stand body 200 is in a storage state, in which the three legs 210 are adjacent to each other and are in a side-by-side state. It should be noted that the number of the legs 210 is not limited, and the number of the legs 210 may be at least three or more because the tripod has good support stability.

Referring to fig. 3, the center shaft 300 includes a first shaft 310 and a second shaft 320 rotatably coupled, one end of the first shaft 310 defining a location for mounting a photographing apparatus, and one end of the second shaft 320 movably coupled with the base 100. Fig. 1 illustrates that the central shaft 300 is smoothly transited in the bending position (the engagement position of the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320) when the central shaft 300 is in the unbent state, and the term "smooth transition" should be understood as that the outer surface of the first shaft 310 in the bending position is smoothly connected with the outer surface of the second shaft 320 in the bending position. At this time, the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320 are attached to each other, and the length extending direction of the first shaft 310 and the length extending direction of the second shaft 320 are on the same straight line, which makes the outer shape of the central shaft 300 and the central shaft incapable of being bent be different when the central shaft 300 is not bent, the central shaft 300 can be used as a common central shaft, the central shaft 300 is in a vertical direction when in a bending state and can move along the thickness direction of the base 100 to change the vertical installation position of the photographing device, and the bending position of the central shaft 300 can also move between two opposite sides of the thickness direction of the base 100, so that the central shaft 300 can also increase other multi-azimuth supporting functions (any angle azimuth between vertical and horizontal supports the camera) through rotating bending of the central shaft itself under the condition that the original supporting function (vertical azimuth supports the camera) is maintained.

Referring to fig. 4, the central shaft 300 further includes a connection member 330, wherein the connection member 330 is disposed between the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320, and the connection member 330 is used for rotationally connecting the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320, in particular, the second shaft 320 can rotate around the connection member 330 to rotate relative to the first shaft 310, so that the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320 form an included angle state to enable the central shaft 300 to switch from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation. The first shaft 310 has a first rotation plane 311, and the first rotation plane 311 is inclined to the length extending direction of the first shaft 310; the second shaft 320 has a second rotation plane 321, and the second rotation plane 321 is inclined to the length extending direction of the second shaft 320. In the process of rotating the second shaft 320 relative to the first shaft 310, the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 are always attached to each other, when the cross section of the central shaft 300 is elliptical, the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 can form a circular plane with the same size due to being inclined to the length extending direction of the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320, and at this time, the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 are attached to each other and completely cover in the process of rotating each other, so that the central shaft 300 has no redundant protruding or recessed portion at the bending position (the connection position of the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320) and is more attractive and attractive. It should be noted that, without considering the appearance, the cross-sectional shape of the central shaft 300 is not limited, and it is only required to satisfy that the two planes are mutually attached during the rotation process.

According to the support foot stool 10 provided by the utility model, as the central shaft 300 comprises the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320 which can be mutually and rotatably connected, the first shaft 310 is provided with the first rotating plane 311, the second shaft is provided with the second rotating plane 321, and the first rotating plane 311 and the second rotating plane 321 are mutually attached and rotated, so that the central shaft 300 can rotate to realize the switching between the vertical orientation and the horizontal orientation. Compared with the central shaft transverse mechanism disclosed in patent CN211779742U, the central shaft is switched between the vertical position and the horizontal position through the matching switching structure, the supporting foot rest 10 not only can realize that the central shaft 300 is switched from the vertical position to the horizontal position, but also can realize any angle adjustment between the vertical position and the horizontal position of the central shaft, and the mode of rotating is realized through the first rotating plane 311 and the second rotating plane 321, so that the structure of the central shaft 300 is simpler, and the operation mode of realizing the switching of the central shaft to the transverse and vertical states by a user is also more convenient and quicker.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5 in combination, the connector 330 includes an integrally formed threaded section 331 and a stop section 332, the radial dimension of the threaded section 331 being smaller than the radial dimension of the stop section 332. Fig. 3 illustrates that the threaded section 331 is connected to the second shaft 320 and the first shaft 310 by passing through the second rotation plane 321 and the first rotation plane 311 sequentially and perpendicularly, and an end of the threaded section 331 away from the stop section 332 is limited in the first shaft 310, and the stop section 332 is exposed at the side wall opening of the second shaft 320 because the radial dimension of the stop section 332 is larger than that of the threaded section 331. It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, the threaded section 331 may be connected to the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320 through the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 sequentially and perpendicularly, where an end of the threaded section 331 away from the stop section 332 is limited in the second shaft 320, and the stop section 332 is exposed at the sidewall opening of the first shaft 310 due to the larger radial dimension than the threaded section 331. Since the stop 332 is exposed out of the opening of the first shaft 310 on the sidewall, when the user needs to disassemble the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320, the screwdriver tool can be inserted into the opening of the sidewall of the first shaft 310 to screw the connecting member 330, so that the connecting member 330 is separated from the first shaft 310. It should be noted that, the connecting piece 330 is not necessarily formed by an integrally formed threaded section 331 and a stop section 332, but may also be formed by a screw rod and two stop sections at two ends, at this time, the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320 need to be perforated, the screw rod is used for penetrating the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 to rotationally connect the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320, and the stop sections 332 at two ends of the screw rod are exposed at the side wall perforated positions of the first shaft 310 and the second shaft 320 and exposed at the side wall perforated positions of the first leg and the second leg. The screw is fixedly connected with respect to the first shaft 310 and the screw is rotatably connected with respect to the second shaft 320, such that rotation of the second shaft 320 with respect to the first shaft 310 is achieved to switch the central shaft 300 from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the central shaft 300 may not include the connection member 330, and the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 can rotate relative to each other to switch the central shaft 300 from the vertical orientation to the horizontal orientation. For example, one of the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 may be provided with an annular groove, and the other one is provided with a corresponding annular protrusion, and when the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 are attached to each other, the annular protrusion is movably limited in the annular groove, so that the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 can rotate relative to each other to realize the switching of the central shaft 300 from the vertical orientation to the horizontal orientation. In other embodiments, a middle circle center groove is formed in one of the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321, and a cylindrical protrusion is formed in the other one, when the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 are mutually attached, the cylindrical protrusion is just limited in the circular groove in a movable way, so that the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 can mutually rotate to realize the switching of the central shaft 300 from the vertical orientation to the horizontal orientation.

Referring to fig. 4, the center shaft 300 is provided with a gasket 340 between the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 to increase friction between the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 to fix an arbitrary angular position of the second shaft 320 rotated with respect to the first shaft 310, thereby forming an orientation of the center shaft 300 desired by a user to conveniently obtain a device support angle desired by the user. It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, the central shaft 300 may not be provided with the washer 340, the friction between the first rotation plane 311 and the second rotation plane 321 may be increased by machining the two, or the friction between the connecting member 330 and the central shaft 300 may be increased to cause the second shaft 320 to hover at any rotation angle.

Referring to fig. 1, one end of the central shaft 300 is further provided with a mounting structure 350, and the mounting structure 350 is mounted by screw-coupling of the photographing apparatus. The mounting structure 350 includes a large head end 351 and a screw segment 352, the large head end 351 being capable of preventing the central shaft 300 from vertically disengaging from the base 100 during movement of the central shaft 300 relative to the base 100. It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, the center shaft 300 may mount the photographing apparatus by providing a quick-mount, snap-fit, locking structure.

Referring to fig. 1, the support stand 10 further includes a release preventing structure 400, and the release preventing structure 400 is connected to an end of the central shaft 300 remote from the mounting structure 350 and located on the same side of the base 100 as the stand body 200. The anti-falling structure 400 is used for the central shaft 300 to be abutted with the base 100 in the process of moving relative to the base 100, so that the central shaft 300 can be prevented from being vertically separated from the base 100 due to the transitional drawing of the central shaft 300.
