[ detailed description ] embodiments

In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "secured to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may be present. The terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "bottom", and the like, as used herein, are used in an orientation or positional relationship indicated based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings for convenience of description and simplicity of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a support of a shooting device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the photographing device stand 10 mainly includes a rotatable stand body 100 and a mounting assembly 200.

The holder body 100 is a main structure of the camera holder 10, and may have a plurality of rotational degrees of freedom in different axial directions, so that the mounting assembly 200 may rotate around a plurality of different axes, thereby achieving the effects of keeping the camera stable, adjusting the camera angle, and the like.

In some embodiments, the holder body 100 may employ a typical three-axis pan-tilt head, allowing the mounting assembly to rotate about the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, respectively, in a rectangular coordinate system.

In the present embodiment, for the sake of simplicity of presentation, the z-axis, the y-axis, and the x-axis are referred to as "first axis", "second axis", and "third axis", respectively. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only to distinguish different shafts, and are not used to define a specific axis. The order of the axes or the axes specified may be arbitrarily replaced with respect to each other.

The detailed implementation of the "three-axis pan/tilt head" is described below by taking the support body 100 shown in fig. 1 and 2 as an example, so as to fully explain the implementation manner and the operation principle of the support body 100.

As shown in fig. 2, the bracket body 100 may be substantially composed of a first bracket 110, a second bracket 120, and a third bracket 130.

Wherein a portion of the first support 110 is mounted to a component of a base of the support device (e.g., a fuselage of the drone). The second support 120 is rotatably connected to the first support 110 and can rotate around the z-axis with respect to the first support 110.

Next, the third holder 130 is also rotatably connected to the second holder 120 so that the third holder 130 can rotate about the axis of the y-axis with respect to the second holder 120.

Finally, third bracket 130 also provides the relevant structural components for mounting stationary mounting assembly 200 such that mounting assembly 200 may be rotated about the x-axis with respect to third bracket 130.

In the present embodiment, a structural portion related to the mounting and fixing of the mounting member 200 to the bracket body 100 is referred to as a "connecting portion". The connecting portion 140 may be any suitable type of structure, and it is only necessary that the mounting assembly 200 be stably mounted on the bracket body 100.

For example, the connection portion 140 may have a double-arm hoop structure as shown in fig. 2. The connecting portion 140 includes a first supporting arm 141 and a second supporting arm 142 formed by extending the third bracket 130 outward.

The first support arm 141 and the second support arm 142 are disposed along the direction of the third rotation axis, and the mounting assembly 200 can be mounted and fixed between the first support arm 141 and the second support arm 142 and can rotate around the x-axis.

It should be noted that the stent body shown in fig. 1 is only used for illustrating the stent body 100 capable of rotating around the z-axis, the y-axis and the x-axis, and is not used for limiting the specific implementation of the stent body 100. Those skilled in the art may also make adjustments, substitutions or omissions to one or more of the structural components in the stent body shown in fig. 1 to achieve similar technical results.

For example, one of the support arms of the connecting portion 140 may be omitted, a single support arm may be used to fix the mounting assembly 200 to the end of the support arm, or the rotation axes "z-axis", "y-axis" and "x-axis" of the first, second and

third brackets

110, 120 and 130 may be selected to be adjusted, replaced or changed in sequence.

The mounting assembly 200 is a part of a camera stand for mounting and fixing a camera. In other words, a photographing device (e.g., a video camera, a motion camera, etc.) for acquiring image information is mounted and fixed on the mounting assembly 200.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the mounting member 200 is used to house and fix a relevant component of a certain imaging device is referred to as a "mounting position". The number and structure of the mounting positions 210 can be determined according to the needs of the actual situation (such as the size and structure of the shooting device), and are not limited to the 1 mounting position shown in fig. 3. In the case of a plurality of mounting locations, mounting locations with different fastening structures can also be used.

Mounting station 210 is disposed at one end of pivot assembly 220 of mounting assembly 200 such that mounting station 210 is rotatable about a fourth axis (shown as the x' axis) relative to mounting assembly 200.

In this embodiment, the rotating assembly 220 is a rotating mechanism disposed on the mounting assembly 200 (e.g., housed in the housing 260 of the mounting assembly 200) to allow the mounting portion 210 to rotate. Which may consist of a series of parts arranged in the direction of the fourth axis, the part at one of the ends may form the mounting location 210 or be rigidly connected to a part of the parts constituting the mounting location 210.

The "fourth axis" is an axis that is in a different direction than the first, second, and third axes. For example, in the case where the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis are the "z-axis, the y-axis, and the x-axis" of the rectangular coordinate system, the fourth axis may be the x' axis perpendicular to the x-axis as shown in fig. 3.

It should be noted that the mounting assembly 200 may include other components or functional modules besides the structures related to the mounting position 210 and the rotating assembly 220, so as to implement the corresponding functions.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, the mounting assembly 200 may further include a main body bracket 230 as a base structure providing a mounting fixing base or a mounting position for each component or function module, a driving motor 240 mounted on a side surface of the main body bracket 230 for driving the mounting assembly 200 to rotate about a third axis, and a circuit board 250 integrated with a sensor for detecting an inclination angle of the mounting assembly and an associated control unit.

In some embodiments, for ease of describing the rotational movement, the rotating assembly 220 may be generally divided into two parts, a "fixed part" and a "rotating part", as shown in fig. 4, according to whether the rotation can occur with respect to the mounting assembly 200.

The fixing portion 220a is a stationary structural member rigidly connected to the mounting assembly 200. It may be a separate component that is fixedly connected (e.g., bolted or snap-fit) to the main structure of the mounting assembly 200, or it may be a base (e.g., integrally formed) that extends directly from the main structure of the mounting assembly 200.

The rotating portion 220b is a movable member rotatable about a fourth axis with reference to the fixed portion. The rotating portion 220b and the fixing portion 220a are distributed in the direction of the fourth axis. The mounting portion 210 is disposed at an end of the rotating portion 220b away from the fixing portion 220a, and rotates along with the rotation of the rotating portion.

In the embodiment of the present invention, there is a relatively independent structural design between the rotating assembly 220 disposed on the mounting assembly and the bracket body 100. Thus, rotation of the rotation assembly 220 does not negatively affect rotation of the mounting assembly 200 about the first, second, and third axes.

Such a camera mount can support a richer shooting mode by rotating around the fourth axis on the basis of enhanced shooting stability (hereinafter referred to as "stability augmentation" state) achieved based on the rotation around the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis. In other words, the shooting device support does not influence the functions of keeping stable shooting and adjusting shooting angles of the traditional three-axis pan-tilt and the like, and can also provide and support richer shooting modes.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the rotating assembly 220 may further include a plurality of position-limiting devices 220c disposed between the fixed portion 220a and the rotating portion 220 b. The number of the position-limiting means 220c may be set according to actual conditions.

The stopper 220c is a related component for limiting the rotation of the rotating portion 220b relative to the fixed portion 220 a. It may generally be composed of one or more sets of mating parts, such as mating protrusions, steps, or latches, etc., that limit the rotation of the rotating part 220b when the rotating part 220b is rotated to a specific position relative to the fixed part 220 a.

In the present embodiment, the position where the stopper 220c is formed to restrict the rotation of the rotating portion 220b is referred to as a "limit position". When the rotating portion 220b rotates to the limit position, it can rotate only in the reverse direction and cannot continue to rotate in the forward direction. In other words, the rotating part can only rotate within a range of rotational angles between the extreme positions.

The embodiment of the utility model provides a shooting device support on the basis of conventional triaxial increases steady cloud platform, the further extra rotation axis that provides, under the prerequisite that does not influence triaxial cloud platform and increase steady ability, can realize for example that the horizontal shooting/vertical shooting switches, and multiple different shooting modes such as rolling photograph and oblique photography.

Furthermore, besides the abundant shooting modes, the rotational degree of freedom of the image acquisition equipment in the fourth axis direction can further achieve the effect of secondary stability augmentation. Namely, on the basis of stability augmentation of a conventional three-axis platform, the stability of the image acquired by the shooting device is further enhanced, and the image with clear focus is ensured to be obtained.

Fig. 5 and fig. 6 are schematic structural diagrams of a rotating assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the rotating portion 220b and the fixing portion 220a of the rotating assembly may be connected by a rotating shaft.

The "rotation shaft connection" is a connection between the rotation part 220b and the fixing part 220a through a tubular structure having a certain length coinciding with the direction of the fourth axis. Such a tubular structure may be referred to as a "rotating shaft" by which a structure similar to a bearing is constructed to realize a rotational movement of the rotating portion 220b with respect to the fixed portion 220 a.

Of course, other suitable movable connection modes between the rotating part and the fixed part can be adopted, so that the two parts can rotate relatively, and the rotating part and the fixed part are not limited to be connected by a rotating shaft with a solid rotating shaft.

As shown in fig. 5, the rotating assembly includes: a rotating shaft 221, a rotor holder 222, a mounting holder 223, and a fixed base 224.

The end surface of the mounting seat 223 forms a mounting position 210 for accommodating and mounting the shooting device, and has a fixed accommodating structure matched with the size of the shooting device. The bottom surface of the mounting seat 223 is fixedly mounted on the first end of the rotor seat 222. A second end of the rotor base 222, which is away from the first end, extends outward in the fourth axial direction to form a rotation shaft 221.

The fixed base 224 is rigidly connected to the body bracket 230 of the mounting assembly (e.g., secured to the body bracket 230 by bolts, snaps, adhesive, or by being integrally formed). The fixing base 224 is provided with a shaft hole 225 adapted to the rotating shaft 221.

The rotation shaft 221 is inserted through the fixed base 224 and is assembled to the fixed base by a movable connection means such as a bearing, an oil seal, or a slip ring, so that the rotation shaft 221 can rotate about the fourth axis with respect to the fixed base 224 in the shaft hole 225.

In some embodiments, the shaft 221 is designed by a ball bearing or the like to reduce the friction between the shaft 221 and the shaft hole 225, thereby facilitating the rotation of the rotating part.

It can be understood that the mounting seat 223, the rotor seat 222 and the rotating shaft 221 together form the moving part 220b, which can rotate relative to the fixed base 224. The fixed base 224 is rigidly connected to the main body portion of the mounting assembly. At least a portion of the body bracket 230 and the fixing portion 220a may be considered as a portion that does not move relative to the mounting assembly 200.

It should be noted that the structure shown in fig. 5 is only used for describing the structure of the rotating assembly in detail, and is not used for limiting the specific implementation of the rotating assembly. Those skilled in the art may also make modifications or changes to the structure shown in fig. 5 to obtain more different embodiments.

For example, the positions of the rotating shaft 221 and the shaft hole 225 may be replaced with each other. In other words, the rotating shaft 221 may be formed by extending the fixing base 224 outward, and the shaft hole 225 is opened on the rotor base 222 and/or the mounting base 223. Such adjustment can also achieve the effect of rotating the rotating portion about the fixed portion.

In some embodiments, one or more functional structures can be further added, so that the rotating assembly is added with new functions. For example, as shown in fig. 5, a driving device 220d for driving the rotation of the rotation part may be additionally provided to the rotation assembly.

The driving means 220d may be implemented by a motor. The stator portion of the motor is coupled to the fixed base 224, and the rotor portion of the motor is coupled to the rotor base 222, so as to drive the rotating portion 220b to rotate.

Of course, the driving device 220d implemented based on the motor may further include one or more functional structures such as a control circuit board for driving/controlling the motor, an angle sensor for detecting a rotation angle of the rotating portion, and the like.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the limiting means 220c provided on the rotating assembly includes: at least two movable limiting members 226, a guide member 227, and a limiting member 228.

The number of the movable limiting parts 226 can be set according to the actual requirement, and is not limited to two as shown in fig. 6. Each movable limiting member 226 is provided with a through hole 2261 adapted to the rotating shaft 221, and a protrusion 2262 extending outward is provided.

The shaft 221 can pass through the through hole 2261, so that the movable limiting members 226 are sequentially stacked and sleeved on the shaft 221. Each movable limiting part 226 is movably connected with the rotating shaft 221 (for example, by a bearing), so that the movable limiting part 226 can freely rotate relative to the rotating shaft 221.

The protrusions 2262 are means for achieving mutual association between respective means (e.g., adjacent movable stopper means, movable stopper means and adjacent guide means, and restricting means and associated guide means) distributed along the fourth axial direction of the rotation shaft 221.

The guide member 227 is a member coupled to the rotating portion 220b and can rotate following the rotation of the rotating portion 220 b. In this embodiment, "coupled" means that two components or functional structures are directly or indirectly connected so that movement of one component can exert or influence (or be linked) on the other component.

The restricting member 228 is coupled to the fixing portion 220a and does not rotate with respect to the mounting assembly. Which may be distributed outside the rotation shaft 221 and mainly used to block the rotation of the movable limiting member and further limit the relative rotation of the rotating portion 220 b.

In the present embodiment, for convenience of description and distinction of the movable stopper 226 located at different positions, the movable stopper adjacent to the guide part 227 is referred to as a "first movable stopper", and the movable stopper adjacent to the restriction part 228 is referred to as a "second movable stopper".

As shown in fig. 7, the rotation of the rotating part can be limited by the guiding part 227 and the first movable limiting part 226a, the first movable limiting part 226a and the second movable limiting part 226b, and the limiting part 227 and the second movable limiting part 226b in a manner called "movable limiting".

The movable limit is realized by pushing/driving or limiting the movement between the adjacent components through the abutting between the adjacent components during the rotation of the rotating part by the protruding part 2262.

Specifically, during at least a part of the rotation of the guide member 227, the first movable stopper member 226a is rotated by abutting against the convex portion of the first movable stopper member. The protruding portion of the first movable limiting member 226a can abut against the protruding portion of the adjacent movable limiting member during at least a part of the rotation process, so as to drive the adjacent second movable limiting member 226b to rotate. When the second movable limiting member 226b is rotated to a specific position, the protruding portion thereof abuts against the limiting member 228, so that the second movable limiting member is limited from further rotation.

In some embodiments, the motion limiting feature 226, the guide feature 227, and the restraining feature 228 may achieve the motion limiting described above by any number of suitable structures.

For example, as shown in fig. 8a, the movable limiting member 226 may be a pie-shaped structure with a circular main body. A through hole 2261 is arranged at the circle center of the circle. The protruding part is a first stopper 2263 extending outward from the edge of the center of circle.

The first stopper 2263 has a length greater than the axial length of the movable limiting members 226 (i.e., the thickness of the pie-shaped movable limiting members) such that the first stopper 2263 between adjacent movable limiting members (e.g., the first movable limiting member 226a and the second movable limiting member 226 b) has at least a partially overlapping projection in both the axial plane and the radial plane.

In the present embodiment, the axial plane P1 is a projection plane of the rotating shaft in the axial direction, the radial plane P2 is a projection plane of the rotating shaft in the radial direction, and the axial length is a projection length in the axial direction.

In other words, the first stopper 2263 may be in contact with the adjacent movable limiting member or other adjacent members at a certain angle and in a rotational direction beyond the main body of the movable limiting member 226.

The guide 227 may be implemented by a second stopper 2271 extended from the rotation piece 2272 provided at the end of the rotation shaft 221. The rotation member 2272 may be fixed to the end of the rotation shaft 221 by interference fit, so as to rotate along with the rotation shaft 221.

The second stopper 2271 extends outward from the rotating member 2272, and overlaps in projection with at least a part of the protruding portion of the first movable limiting member 226a on both the axial plane P1 and the radial plane P2. The second stopper 2271 configured in this way can abut against the first stopper 2263 of the first movable limiting component 226a when the angle and the rotating direction are specified, so as to drive the first movable limiting component 226a to rotate.

Of course, other different structures may be used to achieve the function of the guide member 227 described above. For example, the guiding component 227 can be implemented by a stopper or similar protruding component extending outward directly at the end of the rotating shaft 221, and it is only necessary that it can be coupled with the rotating portion 220b, and can abut against the protruding portion of the first movable limiting component during at least a part of the rotating process to drive the first movable limiting component to rotate.

The limiting member 228 may be implemented by a third stopper 2281 provided on the main body support 230. The third stopper 2281 is a protrusion extending a certain distance in the direction of the rotating shaft 221, and on both the axial plane and the radial plane, the third stopper overlaps at least a part of the projection of the first stopper 2263 of the second movable limiting component 226b, so as to be abutted against the protruding portion of the second movable limiting component rotated in place, so as to limit the rotation of the second movable limiting component 226b, and further, to limit the rotation of the rotating portion.

Of course, other suitable structures may be used to accomplish the function of the limiting member described above. For example, an upwardly projecting rib or the like provided on the side of the fixed base 224 facing the movable stopper part 226 abuts against the projecting portion of the second movable stopper part rotated in place to restrict the rotation of the second movable stopper part.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8a, the limiting member 228 includes two third stops 2281. The two third stops 2281 are spaced by an arc length to define two distinct limit positions.

Of course, according to the needs of actual conditions, a larger number of third stop blocks can be selected and arranged or the arc length between the third stop blocks can be adjusted to change the limit position or the rotation angle range formed by the limiting device.

The range of rotation angles formed by the limiting means 220c is described in detail below in connection with fig. 8a-8 c:

as shown in fig. 8a, when the rotating member 2272 rotates clockwise along with the rotating portion 220b, the second stopper 2271 will abut against the first stopper 2263 of the first movable limiting component 226a, pushing the first movable limiting component 226a to rotate along with the rotating member 2272.

When the first movable limiting member 226a rotates along with the rotating member 2272, the first stopper 2263 will abut against the second movable limiting member 226b, and push the second movable limiting member 226b to rotate accordingly.

As shown in fig. 8b, when the second movable limiting member 226b rotates to the position of one of the third stoppers 2281, the outwardly extending first stopper 2263 is stopped by the third stopper 2281 and cannot rotate in the clockwise direction. At this time, the first movable member 226b and the rotator 2272 are also in contact with each other, and similarly cannot rotate in the clockwise direction any more, and the first limit position is reached.

In the first limit position, the rotating member 2272 can rotate counterclockwise in the opposite direction along with the rotating portion 220b, and after one rotation in the opposite direction, the second stop 2271 will abut against the first stop 2263 of the first movable limiting component 226a on the other side, pushing the first movable limiting component 226a to rotate in the opposite direction along with the rotating member 2272.

When the first movable limiting part 226a rotates reversely with the rotating part 2272 to the position of the first stopper 2263 of the second movable limiting part 226b, the second movable limiting part 226b can be pushed to rotate reversely.

As shown in fig. 8c, when the second movable limiting member 226b reversely rotates to the position of the other third block 2281, the first block 2263 is also blocked by the third block 2281 and cannot rotate in the counterclockwise direction. At this time, the first movable member 226b and the rotating member 2272 are also in contact with each other, and similarly cannot rotate in the counterclockwise direction, and the second limit position is reached.

Thus, the rotating portion 220b can rotate only within a rotation angle range formed by the first limit position and the second limit position. The rotation angle range provided by the limiting means 220c thus designed is substantially equal to: one rotation plus a circumferential angle corresponding to the arc length between the third stops 2281 to the counter-clockwise rotation.

The embodiment of the utility model provides a stop device through providing two or above activity spacing parts, can form and be greater than (-360, + 360) the angle scope of predetermineeing. Wherein, the rotation part is defined to rotate clockwise around the fourth rotating shaft to be positive, namely the rotation part rotates clockwise for one turn to be +360 degrees; the rotating part is defined to be negative when rotating around the fourth rotating shaft anticlockwise, namely the rotating part rotates for one circle around the anticlockwise direction for-360 degrees. The rotation angle range can well meet the actual shooting use requirements (such as vertigo shooting) and has good application prospect.
