PHOTOSTAND

APPLICATION AREA

The invention relates to the field of filming equipment, and in particular to auxiliary equipment of salons for the sale of cars. 5 The proposed technical solution is intended for automated circular photo and video shooting of cars for sale.

BACKGROUND

The following technical solutions are known from the prior art.

A three-dimensional photographic system for creating a publication of three-dimensional images is known, comprising an automatic photographic stand, a computer device and a publishing server, the automatic photographic stand preferably comprising two rotating frames connected to the drives. The program provides the conversion and publication of the received images via wireless communication 15 (international application N22009141783, published 26.1 1.2009).

A device for digitizing an image is also known, comprising an external fixed support structure and an internal rotary frame, which is configured to rotate around a vertical axis rotating 360 ° around the target object. A means of digitizing the image 20 (for example, a camera) is mounted on a swing frame for digitizing the image or other data of the target object. The camera is mounted on a swing frame in such a way that while it rotates around the object, the data collected from the camera is transmitted to a computer for further processing (international application Ns 2014162155, published December 30, 2015).

25 The closest analogue of the patented device is a shooting stand, manufactured in the United States

(https://www.voutube.com/watch?v=BDYQi37t7GE. 06/16/2014). The shooting stand is a three-dimensional structure of a cylindrical shape, consisting of fixed and moving parts: a round base and a rotary screen, respectively. The screen is equipped at the base with support rollers and serves as a supporting structure for the inner lining (shooting background), lighting devices. The screen is rotated manually, and the car is shot with a standard camera on a tripod located outside stand on the floor of the room. Each rotation of the screen when changing the camera angle requires the movement of the tripod with the camera. The captured material is transmitted to the processing via a cable or memory card (for example, SD).

The known solution does not fully ensure the effectiveness of the 5 shooting process of the car, since all the manipulations (adjusting the location of the camera, background and lighting) require time and effort, as well as additional equipment that is subject to wear and risk of loss.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The problem solved by the invention is to eliminate unwanted operations when manually adjusting the shooting angle, to automate the shooting of the car and, as a result, to reduce the time and effort spent on shooting, processing and publishing the material.

The technical result of the proposed solution is to reduce the time it takes to shoot one car due to the exclusion of manual adjustment 15 of the shooting angle, provided by the constant relative position of the shooting device between the light sources from the shooting background, due to the fastening of the above elements to a common frame.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the design of the photostand for circular shooting of a vehicle containing a stationary

20 the base and the pivoting screen, the base includes a platform with a guide rail around the perimeter, and the screen is a frame including support rollers in the lower part, the inner lining with a shooting background, a stretch ceiling, an opening for a car, lighting equipment and a bracket with a camera mounted on the frame on the inside of the screen, while

25 support rollers are made to move along the guide rail of the base, and the bracket with the camera is fixed between the lighting means above the opening.

The shooting stand of the system can be used indoors (indoor) and outdoors (outdoor). The stand for internal execution consists of a base with a guide (rail) and a rotary screen with inner lining and shooting equipment. The street performance stand differs from the internal stand by the additional conical roof frame mounted on top of the pivoting screen, as well as outer shell that protects the interior of the structure from weathering.

Mounting the filming device to the screen frame avoids the use of a camera with a tripod, which reduces the shooting time, since the frame is adjusted automatically due to the simultaneous movement of the screen frame and the shooting device by fixing the shooting background (inner lining, base and stretch ceiling), and fastening the filming and lighting equipment to the frame of the screen, while due to the location of the camera above the opening between the lighting devices, the camera lens is always on ravlen on shooting background and provides a sufficient amount of light.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Next, the solution is illustrated by reference to the figures, which show the following. FIG. 1 - General view of the photo stand for circular shooting of a car.

FIG. 2 - Plot of the lower part of the photo stand. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The base 1 of the photobooth is a circular platform, consisting of a guide rail 3 in the form of a circle and a plastic coating filling the circle. The guide rail is a metal strip 4 with a rod 5 of circular cross section, closed in a ring and fixed to the floor surface of the room or pedestal. The plastic coating is continuous, made of perforated polymer tiles by connecting the elements together with locks. Support rollers 6 are designed to provide rotation of the rotary screen 2 around a vertical axis coinciding with the axis of the base 1 of the stand. The rotation of the screen 2 occurs due to the rolling of the support rollers along the guide rail 3 of the base. The pivoting screen 2 is equipped with six support rollers 6, which are concave profile cylinders. The radius of curvature of the concave sides of the profile of the roller 6 corresponds to the radius of the rod 5 of the guide 3. Support rollers 6 are made of metal or polymer and possess high wear resistance. The support rollers 6 are installed at the six lower points of the pivoting screen 2.

Support rollers 6 are driven manually.

The pivoting screen 2 of the internal design is a 5 composite metal frame on the supporting rollers 6, with inner lining, stretch ceiling, lighting equipment, an arm with a shooting device. The pivoting screen of the street version has an additional conical-shaped roof frame and an outer shell made of reinforced PVC fabric or cellular polycarbonate. The pivoting screen of both versions has an opening 7 for the entry and exit of the car.

The frame of the rotary screen consists of several segments located in height in 3 levels. The frame segment is a frame of square tube, having an arc shape in plan. All segments of the lower level are in the form of a vertically oriented rectangle and in

15 assembled form in plan an arc larger than a semicircle. Mid-level segments also form an arc in plan that is equal in size to the arc of the lower level. All segments of the middle level, except for 2 pieces, also have the shape of a vertically oriented rectangle. Two mid-level segments located at the ends of the arc have dimensions equal to adjacent segments, but

20 is the shape of a rectangular polygon with a ledge facing the opposite end of the arc. The segments of the upper level have the shape of a horizontally oriented rectangle, together form an arc less than a semicircle. The height of the upper level segment is equal to the depth of the ledge in the extreme segment of the middle level. Thanks to the indicated ledges, the extreme

25 segments of the middle and upper levels are combined and aligned to the upper mark, forming a closed ring in top view. All segments of the frame of the screen, regardless of their location, are connected by bolted connections.

The roof frame consists of several supporting pipes of rectangular cross section, converging at the top point. The lower ends of the pipes are attached to the upper part of the rotary screen using bolted connections. Roof bearing pipes are connected to each other in 2 places by transverse pipes of rectangular or square section. The inner lining 9 is an opaque woven or polymeric material with a matte surface of white or gray color, uniformly scattering reflected light. The inner lining is attached to the frame of the screen and forms a continuous inner surface, performing 5 role of the background for shooting.

The stretch ceiling is a circular cloth made of an opaque woven material with a matte surface in white or gray. The stretch ceiling is attached to the frame of the screen from above and forms a surface that is uniform with the inner skin, uniformly scattering reflected light. The outer shell of the pivoting screen with a roof is a reinforced PVC material that covers the structure from the outside in the form of a tent, or opaque sheets of cellular polycarbonate mounted on a screen and roof frame. The outer shell is designed for resistance to wind, rain and snow loads.

15 Lighting means are two or four LED spotlights 8, equipped with means for adjusting the temperature of the emitted light. Spotlight emitters are enclosed in round or rectangular cases, equipped with mounting brackets in the form of a bracket. Floodlights are mounted inside segments (frames) of the upper frame

20 levels (if 2 floodlights are used) or upper and middle levels (if 4 floodlights are used). Fastening is made to the upper pipe of the segment by bolting. The connection of the spotlights 8 to the electrical network is carried out using a cable laid inside or along the pipes of the bearing segments to the voltage source. The way to lay the power cable in

25 in each case, the installation of a photo stand is determined in accordance with the technical (architectural, climatic, fire) conditions of placement.

The shooting device 10 is mounted on the frame of the pivoting screen above the opening for the entrance / exit of the car. Installation of the device is carried out with the help of clamps, bracket 1 1 and clamps used in professional photography. Clamps are used to attach the bracket to the frame pipe. The bracket has a length of 1 + 2 meters and is equipped with several swivel joints 12, providing a different position of its elements in space. The clips perform the function of attaching the filming device 10 to the end of the bracket.

An application is installed on the shooting device, which is a program for taking photos and / or video. A feature of Appendix 5 is the overall frame of the viewfinder, the dimensions and shape of which correspond to the distance and angle of the vehicle, determined by industry standards. Using the overall frame and thanks to the articulated joints of the bracket, the camera is quickly set and the frame is set to take a picture. The finished snapshot is processed automatically by the application and prepared for publication. The publication of material is carried out at the command of the user, through wireless data transmission over a 3G or LTE network. Publication is carried out simultaneously in several specialized Internet sources introduced into the program in advance. Thanks to the described functions, transmission operations are excluded

15 of the captured material by wire or on a solid medium for subsequent processing, manual processing of photos and videos, sequential publication of photos and videos in each source separately. As a result, significant savings in time and resources are achieved, the likelihood of human error, deviation of material quality from industry standards is reduced.

20 In addition, the functionality and characteristics of a mobile device completely eliminate the need for a separate computer, traditionally used to solve the problems of processing, publishing, and storing photo and video material.
