A locking mechanism (116 and 216), a clamping apparatus (11) comprising the locking mechanism, and a mount system comprising the clamping apparatus. The locking mechanism comprises a locking component (1161 and 2161) and push rods (1162 and 2162). The locking component comprises a middle part (1163 and 2163) and extremities (1164 and 2164) provided at either side of the middle part. The middle part (1163) and the extremities (1164) are connected via connecting rods (1165). The connecting rods, the middle part, and the extremities jointly form a symmetric parallel quad-connecting rod structure, or, the symmetrically arranged push rods (2162), the middle part (2163), and the extremities (2164) ointly form a symmetric parallel quad-connecting rod structure. Locking parts (1168 and 2168) respectively are provided at the most-distal ends of the two extremities of the locking component. By means of the parallel quad-connecting rod structure, the locking mechanism implements transition between a locked state and an unlocked state with respect to the locking component. The parallel quad-connecting rod structure can either be implemented by the connecting rods forming a hinge structure or be implemented by the push rods themselves forming a hinge structure. |
