[0034] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] See also Figure 1-6 Embodiment 1 of the present invention discloses a rotational signal transmission mechanism 40, comprising a first wiring assembly 41 having a first wiring terminal 411 and a second wiring assembly 42 having a second wiring terminal 421 and rotatably connected to the first wiring assembly 41, the first wiring assembly 41 is provided with a plurality of first conductive structures 51 which are arranged at intervals and are all electrically connected to the first wiring terminal 411, the second wiring assembly 42 is provided with a plurality of second conductive structures 52 which are arranged at intervals and are all electrically connected to the second wiring terminal 421, the first conductive structure 51 is an annular conductive structure, the second conductive structure 52 is a brush, and each brush abuts against a corresponding annular conductive structure.

[0037] With this design, since the signal is transmitted through the first conductive structure 51 and the second conductive structure 52, there is no need to pass a line through the first wiring assembly 41 and the second wiring assembly 42 to maintain the transmission of the signal between the first terminal 411 and the second terminal 421. In this way, there will be no problem of system line entanglement during the relative rotation of the first wiring assembly 41 and the second wiring assembly 42. The first wiring assembly 41 and the second wiring assembly 42 can transmit signals while rotating 360°. When the rotating signal transmission mechanism 40 is used on a drone gimbal, the influence of the line entanglement problem on the rotation angle of the camera can be avoided. The camera can achieve 360° rotation, greatly expanding the shooting angle of the camera.

[0038] Of course, the rotating signal transmission mechanism 40 is not limited to use on drone gimbals. Any two components that rotate relative to each other and need to transmit signals during the rotation process can use the rotating signal transmission mechanism 40 to avoid the problem of line entanglement.

[0039] Furthermore, the annular conductive structure and the brush can be swapped, that is, the annular conductive structure can be set on the second wiring component 42, and the brush can be set on the first wiring component 41, as long as the brush and the annular conductive member can always maintain contact during the relative rotation of the first wiring component 41 and the second wiring component 42.

[0040] As an improved method of this embodiment, the first wiring assembly 41 includes a first wiring terminal 411, a first end cover 412, and a shaft core 413 rotatably connected to the second wiring assembly 42. The first wiring terminal 411 and the shaft core 413 are respectively fixed on two opposite sides of the first end cover 412, and the annular conductive structure is arranged on the outer side of the shaft core 413 along the axial direction of the shaft core 413. A plurality of first wires 414 for electrically connecting the first wiring terminal 411 and the annular conductive structure are passed through the shaft core 413. The shaft core 413 is roughly cylindrical, and one end of the shaft core 413 is fastened to the first end cover 412 by bolts.

[0041] As an improvement of this embodiment, the annular conductive structure may be a conductive ring arranged on the outer side of the shaft core 413 , or an annular wire arranged on the outer side of the shaft core 413 , or an annular conductive coating arranged on the outer side of the shaft core 413 .

[0042] As an improvement of this embodiment, a plurality of first annular grooves 4131 are provided on the outer side of the shaft core 413 . The plurality of first annular grooves 4131 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the shaft core 413 , and an annular conductive structure is provided in each first annular groove 4131 .

[0043] As an improvement on the present embodiment, a plurality of first through holes 4132 are provided on the shaft core 413, each of the first through holes 4132 comprises a first hole portion 4133 and a second hole portion 4134 connected to the first hole portion 4133, the first hole portion 4133 extends from the end surface of the shaft core 413 facing the first end cover 412 toward the axial direction of the shaft core 413, the second hole portion 4134 extends from the end of the first hole portion 4133 away from the first end cover 412 radially outward along the shaft core 413 to the outer side surface of the shaft core 413, and each of the first through holes 4132 is passed through a first conductor 414 as mentioned above.

[0044] As an improvement of the present embodiment, the second wiring assembly 42 includes a second wiring terminal 421, a second end cover 422 and a first cylinder 423. The second wiring terminal 421 and the first cylinder 423 are respectively fixedly arranged on opposite sides of the second end cover 422. The first cylinder 423 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the shaft core 413 and is rotatably connected to the shaft core 413. The inner side wall of the first cylinder 423 is axially spaced apart with a plurality of brush holes 4231, and each brush hole 4231 is provided with the above-mentioned brush. The first cylinder 423 is provided with a plurality of second wires 424 for electrically connecting the second wiring terminal 421 and the brush.

[0045] As an improvement of the present embodiment, the brush is an elastic conductive member that is bent and compressed in the brush hole 4231. Specifically, the brush is an elastic conductive member with elasticity, and its length is greater than the distance from the second wire 424 to the annular conductive structure, so that when the brush is installed in the brush hole 4231, the brush is in a bent and compressed state. The purpose of this setting is to extend the service life of the rotating transmission signal mechanism 40. Every time the brush is worn a little during use, the brush will extend a little toward the annular conductive structure due to its own elastic force, thereby ensuring the contact between the brush and the annular conductive structure for a long time, and there will be no poor contact due to the wear of the brush, thereby extending the service life of the rotating transmission signal mechanism 40.

[0046] Of course, the brush is not limited to the above-mentioned setting method. For example, the brush can be elastically compressed and installed in the brush hole 4231. Specifically, an elastic member, such as a spring, is installed in the brush hole 4231, and then the brush is installed in the brush hole 4231. The elastic member is in a compressed state. When the brush wears during use, due to the squeezing effect of the elastic member, the brush will always maintain contact with the annular conductive structure to avoid poor contact and extend the service life of the rotating transmission signal mechanism 40.

[0047] As an improved method of this embodiment, the rotation transmission signal mechanism 40 further includes two first bearings 43 respectively sleeved on both ends of the shaft core 413, and the first cylinder 423 is rotatably connected to the shaft core 413 through the two first bearings 43. Specifically, the inner rings of the two first bearings 43 are respectively interference fit with the two ends of the shaft core 413, and the outer rings of the two first bearings 43 are respectively interference fit with the inner walls of the two ends of the first cylinder 423, so as to realize the rotation connection between the shaft core 413 and the first cylinder 423.

[0048] As an improved method of the present embodiment, the second wiring assembly 42 further includes a second cylinder 425 sleeved on the outer periphery of the first cylinder 423 and fixedly connected to the first cylinder 423 and / or the second end cap 422. The outer side surface of the first cylinder 423 is concavely provided with a strip groove 4232 extending axially from the first cylinder 423 to the end surface of the first cylinder 423. Two second wires 424 arranged side by side along the radial direction of the first cylinder 423 and a first insulating member 426 arranged between the two second wires 424 are embedded in each strip groove 4232. A second insulating member 427 is arranged between the second wire 424 located radially outside the first cylinder 423 and the second cylinder 425. With this design, the installation of the second wire 424 is facilitated. During installation, the second wire 424 / the first insulating member 426 / the second wire 424 / the second insulating member 427 only need to be arranged in the strip groove 4232 in a sequentially stacked relationship, and then the second cylinder 425 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first cylinder 423. It is understandable that the first cylinder 423 is not limited to installing the second wire 424 by setting the strip groove 4232. For example, it is also possible to pass the second wire 424 by opening two through holes spaced apart along the axial direction of the first cylinder 423 from the end surface of the first cylinder 423 toward the second end cover 422.

[0049] As an improved way of this embodiment, the rotation transmission signal mechanism 40 further includes a first gasket 44, which is disposed between the second cylinder 425 and the first end cover 412. Specifically, the second cylinder 425 is provided with a second annular groove 4251 on the surface facing the first end cover 412, and the first gasket 44 is embedded in the first annular groove 4241. The first gasket 44 is used to prevent moisture and dust from entering the interior of the rotation transmission signal mechanism from the gap between the second cylinder 425 and the first end cover 412. It can be understood that the first gasket 44 is not limited to being disposed between the second cylinder 425 and the first end cover 412. For example, the first gasket 44 can also be disposed between the first cylinder 423 and the first end cover 412.

[0050] Embodiment 2:

[0051] See also Figure 7-9 The second embodiment of the present invention provides a rotation transmission signal mechanism 70.

The first conductive structure 81 is an annular conductive structure, and the second conductive structure 82 is a brush that abuts the annular conductive structure.

[0053] Similarly, with this design, since there is no need to pass a line through the first wiring assembly 71 and the second wiring assembly 72 to maintain the transmission of signals between the first wiring terminal 711 and the second wiring terminal 721, there will be no problem of system line entanglement during the relative rotation of the first wiring assembly 71 and the second wiring assembly 72. The first wiring assembly 71 and the second wiring assembly 72 can rotate 360°, that is, the first axis arm 10 and the second axis arm 20 can rotate 360°. When the rotating signal transmission mechanism 40 is used on a drone gimbal, the influence of the line entanglement problem on the rotation angle of the camera can be avoided, and the camera can rotate 360°, greatly expanding the shooting angle of the camera.

Preferably, the brush is an elastic conductive member bent and compressed in the mounting hole 7221.

[0057] As an improved way of the present embodiment, the rotation transmission signal mechanism 70 further includes a connecting shaft 73 and two second bearings 74. A bearing hole 7122 is respectively formed through the top cover 712 and the bottom cover 722. A second bearing 74 is installed in each bearing hole 7122, and the connecting shaft 73 is inserted into the two second bearings 74. Specifically, the outer rings of the two second bearings 74 are respectively interference fit with the bearing holes 7122 formed on the top cover 712 and the bottom cover 722, the connecting shaft 73 is inserted into the two second bearings 74, and both ends are respectively interference fit with the inner rings of the two second bearings 74, so as to realize the rotation fit of the first wiring assembly 71 and the second wiring assembly 72.

[0058] As an improved way of this embodiment, the rotation transmission signal mechanism 70 further includes a second gasket 75, which is disposed between the top cover 712 and the bottom cover 722. Specifically, the surface of the bottom cover 722 facing the top cover 712 is provided with a third annular groove 7222, and the second gasket 75 is embedded in the third annular groove 7222. The second gasket 75 is used to prevent moisture and dust from entering the interior of the rotation transmission signal mechanism from the gap between the top cover 712 and the bottom cover 722. It can be understood that the third annular groove 7222 is not limited to being disposed on the bottom cover 722, and can also be disposed on the top cover 712.

[0059] Embodiment three:

[0060] See also Figure 7-11 , Embodiment 3 of the present invention discloses a drone gimbal 100, including a mounting seat 101, a first shaft arm 102, a second shaft arm 103, a motor 104, and a rotation transmission signal mechanism as described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

When in use, the motor 104 drives the second shaft arm 103 to rotate along the EE direction relative to the first shaft arm 102, thereby driving the camera to rotate along the EE direction. Since the first wiring assembly 71 and the second wiring assembly 72 realize signal transmission through the first conductive structure 81 and the second conductive structure 82, there is no need to set a line in the first wiring assembly 71 and the second wiring assembly 72 to maintain the signal transmission between the first wiring terminal 711 and the second wiring terminal 721. In this way, when the motor 104 drives the second shaft arm 103 to rotate relative to the first shaft arm 102, there will be no problem of system line winding between the first wiring assembly 71 and the second wiring assembly 72. The first wiring assembly 71 and the second wiring assembly 72 can be rotated 360 degrees, that is, the first shaft arm 102 and the second shaft arm 103 can be rotated 360 degrees, which greatly expands the shooting angle of the camera.
