[0082] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will further describe in detail the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] On the one hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides a panoramic pan-tilt head. As shown in the attached Figure 1 figure, the panoramic pan-tilt head 100 includes: a connecting member 11, a movement 12, and a fixed base 13; the movement 12 is vertically rotatably arranged on the side wall of the connecting member 11; the connecting member 11 is horizontally rotatably arranged on the fixed base 13 to drive the movement 12 to rotate horizontally; and, the top of the connecting member 11 is used to connect the shooting device 200 and make the shooting device 200 stationary relative to the fixed base 13.

[0084] It should be noted that the shooting device 200 involved in the embodiments of the present invention refers to a shooting device provided with a plurality of lenses 21 (see the attached Figure 1 ) and may refer to a panoramic camera or a panoramic video camera, etc. To simplify the stitching algorithm of the internal processor of the shooting device 200, the shooting device 200 is fixed relative to the roof of the target vehicle.

[0085] Furthermore, the movement 12 of the embodiment of the present invention is used to perform processing such as magnification on captured images, which is different from the camera 200's function of stitching captured images. That is, the movement 12 and the camera 200 are two independent image processing systems. To achieve image magnification, the movement 12 rotates both horizontally and vertically.

[0086] The working principle of the panoramic platform 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described below:

[0087] During use, the panoramic platform 100 is first installed. Specifically, the fixed base 13 of the panoramic platform 100 is fixed on the roof of the target vehicle.

[0088] When the connecting member 11 rotates horizontally on the fixed base 13 (i.e. around the attachment Figure 2 When the movement 12 is arranged on the side wall of the connecting member 11, the connecting member 11 drives the movement 12 to rotate in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the movement 12 rotates vertically on the side wall of the connecting member 11 (i.e., around the attached Z axis). Figure 2 The Y-axis rotation shown in the figure) can thereby realize the amplification processing of the captured image by the movement 12.

[0089] In addition, the shooting device 200 is set above the movement 12 through the connecting member 11, and the shooting device 200 is kept stationary relative to the fixed base 13. Since the fixed base 13 is fixed on the roof of the target vehicle, the shooting device 200 is fixed relative to the roof of the target vehicle, thereby simplifying the stitching algorithm of the internal processor of the shooting device 200.

[0090] It can be seen that the panoramic gimbal 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention can enable the shooting device 200 to be statically set on the top of the connecting member 11 relative to the fixed base 13 through the connecting member 11, and be fixed to the roof of the target vehicle through the fixed base 13. This increases the distance between the shooting device 200 and the roof of the target vehicle, improves the shooting angle of the shooting device 200, and avoids the scene shot by the shooting device 200 being mostly the roof of the target vehicle.

[0091] The connecting member 11 for connecting the photographing device 200 and making the photographing device 200 stationary relative to the fixed base 13 can be configured in various structures. Two examples are provided in the embodiments of the present invention:

[0092] Example (1)

[0093] As attached Figure 3As shown in the figure, the connecting member 11 includes: a connecting member housing 111, a first transmission assembly 112, and a second transmission assembly 113 provided on the connecting member housing 111; the first transmission assembly 112 is used to drive the movement of the movement 12 horizontally by the connecting member housing 111 and keep the imaging device 200 stationary relative to the fixed base 13; the second transmission assembly 113 is used to drive the movement 12 to rotate vertically.

[0094] It should be noted that the horizontal rotation of the connecting member housing 111 and the movement 12 means that the connecting member housing 111 and the movement 12 rotate on a horizontal plane, that is, rotate around the Z axis in the attached figure. Figure 2 In addition, the vertical rotation of the movement 12 means that the movement 12 rotates on a vertical plane, that is, rotates around the Y axis in the attached figure. Figure 2

[0095] With the above settings, it is beneficial to the distribution of the wires inside the connecting member housing 111.

[0096] Among them, regarding the structure of the first transmission assembly 112, the embodiments of the present invention give two examples:

[0097] The first example

[0098] As shown in the attached figure Figure 3 and the attached figure Figure 4 , the first transmission assembly 112 includes: a first motor 1121 fixed inside the connecting member housing 111, the first output shaft 1121a and the second output shaft 1121b of the first motor 1121 are coaxially arranged; a first driving wheel 1122 connected to the first output shaft 1121a; a second driving wheel 1123 connected to the second output shaft 1121b; a first synchronous wheel 1125 meshing with the first driving wheel 1122 through a first transmission belt 1124; a second synchronous wheel 1127 meshing with the second driving wheel 1, the transmission ratio of the second synchronous wheel 1127 is the same as that of the first synchronous wheel 1125; a first support shaft 1128 with the upper end for connecting to the imaging device 200 and the lower end connected to the first synchronous wheel 1125; a second support shaft 1129 with the upper end connected to the second synchronous wheel 1127 and the lower end connected to the fixed base 13.

[0099] With such settings, the structure of the first transmission assembly 112 can be simplified, which is beneficial to the installation and replacement of the first transmission assembly 112.

[0100] It should be noted that the transmission ratio of the first synchronous wheel 1125 refers to the ratio of the rotation speed of the first synchronous wheel 1125 to the rotation speed of the first output shaft 1121a in the first motor 1121; the transmission ratio of the second synchronous wheel 1127 refers to the ratio of the rotation speed of the second synchronous wheel 1127 to the rotation speed of the second output shaft 1121b in the first motor 1121.

[0101] ​Based on the structure of the above-mentioned first transmission assembly 112, when the first motor 1121 rotates, if the first output shaft 1121a and the second output shaft 1121b rotate clockwise, the second output shaft 1121b of the first motor 1121 drives the second driving wheel 1123 to rotate clockwise. Since the second transmission belt 1126 is simultaneously engaged with the second driving wheel 1123 and the second synchronizing wheel 1127, and the second synchronizing wheel 1127 is fixed to the fixed base 13 through the second support shaft 1129, the second synchronizing wheel 1127 provides a reaction force to the second transmission belt 1126, thereby causing the second transmission belt 1126 to rotate counterclockwise around the second synchronizing wheel 1127. In addition, since the first motor 1121 is fixed within the connecting member housing 111, the connecting member housing 111 can be rotated counterclockwise, driving the movement mechanism 12 to rotate counterclockwise on the horizontal plane. Also, since the movement mechanism 12 rotates on the vertical plane by means of the second transmission assembly 113, the movement mechanism 12 can rotate simultaneously on the horizontal plane and the vertical plane.

[0102] Meanwhile, the first output shaft 1121a of the first motor 1121 drives the first driving wheel 1122 to rotate. Since the first transmission belt 1124 is simultaneously engaged with the first driving wheel 1122 and the first synchronizing wheel 1125, the first synchronizing wheel 1125 is driven to rotate clockwise. Since the photographing device 200 is connected to the first synchronizing wheel 1125 through the first support shaft 1128, the first synchronizing wheel 1125 drives the photographing device 200 to rotate clockwise relative to the connecting member housing 111.

[0103] Also, since the connecting member housing 111 rotates counterclockwise relative to the fixed base 13, it means that the fixed base 13 rotates clockwise relative to the connecting member housing 111, that is, both the photographing device 200 and the fixed base 13 rotate clockwise relative to the connecting member 11. Moreover, since the transmission ratios of the first synchronizing wheel 1125 and the second synchronizing wheel 1127 are the same, the relative rotational speeds of the photographing device 200 and the fixed base 13 are the same, so the photographing device 200 is stationary relative to the fixed base 13.

[0104] Among them, the above-mentioned first driving wheel 1122, second driving wheel 1123, first synchronizing wheel 1125, and second synchronizing wheel 1127 can be set as sprocket structures; the first transmission belt 1124 is a chain structure that is simultaneously adapted to the first driving wheel 1122 and the first synchronizing wheel 1125, so that the first transmission belt 1124 is simultaneously engaged with the first driving wheel 1122 and the first synchronizing wheel 1125; the second transmission belt 1126 is a chain structure that is simultaneously adapted to the second driving wheel 1123 and the second synchronizing wheel 1127, so that the second transmission belt 1126 is simultaneously engaged with the second driving wheel 1123 and the second synchronizing wheel 1127.

[0105] Regarding the installation methods of the first driving wheel 1122 and the first synchronous wheel 1125, several examples are given in the embodiments of the present invention. Among them, the first driving wheel 1122 can be welded, thread - connected or integrally formed with the first output shaft 1121a of the first motor 1121. Based on the characteristics that welding is easy to operate and the connection is firm, the embodiments of the present invention preferably adopt it. In addition, the first synchronous wheel 1125 can be welded or thread - connected to the lower end of the first support shaft 1128. Based on the characteristics that welding is easy to operate and the connection is firm, the embodiments of the present invention preferably adopt it.

[0106] Similarly, regarding the installation methods of the second driving wheel 1123 and the second synchronous wheel 1127, several examples are also given in the embodiments of the present invention. Among them, the second driving wheel 1123 can be welded, thread - connected or integrally formed with the second output shaft 1121b of the first motor 1121. Based on the characteristics that welding is easy to operate and the connection is firm, the embodiments of the present invention preferably adopt it. In addition, the second synchronous wheel 1127 can be welded or thread - connected to the upper end of the second support shaft 1129. Based on the characteristics that welding is easy to operate and the connection is firm, the embodiments of the present invention preferably adopt it.

[0107] In addition, the upper end of the first support shaft 1128 can be connected to the housing of the photographing device 200 by welding or screw connection. Similarly, the lower end of the second support shaft 1129 can be connected to the fixed base 13 by welding or screw connection.

[0108] The above - mentioned first motor 1121 can be fixed on the connecting piece housing 111 through a bracket, which is beneficial to the disassembly and assembly of the first motor 1121.

[0109] As described above, the transmission ratios of the first synchronous wheel 1125 and the second synchronous wheel 1127 are the same, so that the photographing device 200 is stationary relative to the fixed base 13. Among them, regarding the transmission ratios of the first synchronous wheel 1125 and the second synchronous wheel 1127, considering the stability of the rotation of the movement 12 and the effect of magnifying the photographed image, in the embodiments of the present invention, it can be set to 7 - 10. For example, it can be set to 7, 8, 9, 10, etc.

[0110] The (1.2)th example

[0111] Compared with the first transmission assembly 112 shown in the (1.1)th example, except that the first transmission assembly 112 shown in this example includes two motors, and the output shaft of one motor is connected to the first driving wheel 1122, and the output shaft of the other motor is connected to the second driving wheel 1123, the others are the same.

[0112] By setting like this, the requirements for the performance of the motor can be reduced, which is beneficial to the production and preparation of the panoramic cloud platform 100.

[0113] Among them, with regard to the connection methods of the above two motors to the connecting piece housing 111, and the connection methods of the output shaft of one motor to the first driving wheel 1122 and the output shaft of the other motor to the second driving wheel 1123, they are the same as those shown in the (1.1) example, and will not be elaborated here.

[0114] Whether using the first transmission assembly 112 provided in the (1.1) example or the (1.2) example, in order to facilitate the rotation of the connecting piece housing 111 on the fixed base 13 and the rotation of the photographing device 200 relative to the connecting piece housing 111, in the embodiments of the present invention, as shown in the attached Figure 3 figure, the top of the connecting piece housing 111 is connected to the photographing device 200 through a first bearing 114a; the bottom of the connecting piece housing 111 is connected to the fixed base 13 through a second bearing 114b.

[0115] Based on the first transmission assembly 112 with the above structure, in order to facilitate the installation of the first support shaft 1128 and the second support shaft 1129, the embodiments of the present invention give an example of the installation positions of the first bearing 114a and the second bearing 114b. An upper annular installation groove and a lower annular installation groove are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the connecting piece housing 111; an upper annular boss is provided at the top of the fixed base 13, and a lower annular boss is provided at the bottom of the photographing device 200; the outer ring of the first bearing 114a is fixedly sleeved in the upper annular installation groove, and the inner ring is fixedly sleeved outside the lower annular boss of the photographing device 200; the outer ring of the second bearing 114b is fixedly sleeved in the lower annular installation groove, and the inner ring is fixedly sleeved outside the upper annular boss.

[0116] Through the above settings, the upper end of the first support shaft 1128 is directly connected to the inner wall of the photographing device 200; in addition, the upper end of the second support shaft 1129 passes through the lower annular installation groove of the connecting piece housing 111 and is connected to the second synchronous wheel 1127, without increasing the size of the lower end of the first support shaft 1128, which is beneficial to the installation of the second support shaft 1129.

[0117] Among them, regarding the number of the first bearings 114a, multiple can be arranged along the axial direction of the first support shaft 1128. For example, 2, 3, 4, etc. can be set. Similarly, regarding the number of the second bearings 114b, multiple can also be arranged along the axial direction of the second support shaft 1129. For example, 2, 3, 4, etc. can be set.

[0118] In addition, regarding the installation method of the first bearing 114a, first press-fit the inner ring of the first bearing 114a onto the lower annular boss of the photographing device 200 by using pressure, and then install the outer ring of the first bearing 114a into the upper annular installation groove of the connecting piece housing 111 by using a gland.

[0119] Correspondingly, an installation step is provided on the inner wall of the upper annular installation groove. The first bearing 114a is arranged on the installation step and is limited in the upper annular installation groove by a gland. By setting it in this way, it is beneficial to fix the outer ring of the first bearing 114a.

[0120] The above gland can be connected to the inner wall of the upper annular installation groove by welding or threaded connection. Based on the characteristic that threaded connection is convenient for replacing the gland, the embodiment of the present invention preferably adopts it.

[0121] Similarly, the installation method of the second bearing 114b can be set to be the same as that of the first bearing 114a, and will not be elaborated here.

[0122] The second example

[0123] The connecting member 11 includes: a connecting member housing 111, a fixed shaft, and a second transmission assembly 113 and a third transmission assembly arranged on the connecting member housing 111; the lower end of the fixed shaft is connected to the fixed base 13, and the upper end passes through the connecting member housing 111 for connecting to the photographing device 200; the second transmission assembly 113 is used to vertically rotate the movement mechanism 12; the third transmission assembly is used to horizontally rotate the connecting member housing 111 to drive the movement mechanism 12.

[0124] By setting it in this way, the structure of the connecting member 11 can be simplified, which is convenient for the production and preparation of the panoramic cloud platform 100.

[0125] Among them, the fixed shaft can be connected to the fixed base 13 and the photographing device 200 by threaded connection or snap connection respectively, which is convenient for replacing the fixed shaft.

[0126] Regarding the number of fixed shafts provided, a plurality of fixed shafts can be evenly arranged along the circumference of the fixed base 13. For example, 2, 3, etc. can be set.

[0127] In addition, for the structure of the third transmission assembly for horizontally rotating the connecting member housing 111, an example is given in the embodiment of the present invention. The third transmission assembly includes: a second motor fixed in the connecting member housing 111; a third driving wheel connected to the output shaft of the second motor; a third synchronous wheel meshed with the third driving wheel through a third transmission belt; a third support shaft with the upper end connected to the third synchronous wheel and the lower end connected to the fixed base 13.

[0128] With the above settings, when the second motor rotates, the output shaft of the second motor drives the third driving wheel to rotate. Since the third transmission belt is simultaneously engaged with the third driving wheel and the third synchronous wheel, and the third synchronous wheel is fixed on the fixed base 13 through the third support shaft, the third synchronous wheel provides a reaction force to the third transmission belt, thereby causing the third transmission belt to rotate around the third synchronous wheel. Additionally, since the second motor is fixed within the connecting member housing 111, the connecting member housing 111 can be rotated, driving the movement mechanism 12 to rotate on the horizontal plane. Also, because the movement mechanism 12 rotates on the vertical plane using the second transmission assembly 113, the movement mechanism 12 can be rotated simultaneously on both the horizontal and vertical planes.

[0129] Among them, the structures of the third driving wheel, the third synchronous wheel, and the third transmission belt can be the same as those of the first driving wheel 1122, the first synchronous wheel 1125, and the first transmission belt 1124 in the first example (1.1), and will not be elaborated here.

[0130] In addition, the arrangement manners of the second motor, the third driving wheel, the third synchronous wheel, and the third support shaft can be the same as those of the first motor 1121, the second driving wheel 1123, and the second synchronous wheel 1127 in the first example (1.1), and will not be elaborated here.

[0131] Similarly, to facilitate the rotation of the connecting member housing 111 on the fixed base 13, the bottom of the connecting member housing 111 is connected to the fixed base 13 through a third bearing.

[0132] Among them, the installation quantity, installation position, and installation manner of the third bearing can be the same as those of the second bearing 114b, and will not be elaborated here.

[0133] Based on the connecting member 11 with the above structure, to improve the shooting effect of the shooting device 200, in the embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Appendix Figure 1 to Appendix Figure 3 , and Appendix Figure 5 to Appendix Figure 7 shows, the panoramic cloud platform 100 further includes: a fill light 14 rotatably arranged on the side wall of the connecting member housing 111 through the second transmission assembly 113.

[0134] With the above settings, when the shooting device 200 is operating, the fill light 14 rotates on the vertical plane (i.e., rotates around the Y-axis shown in Appendix Figure 2 ) through the second transmission assembly 113. Also, since the fill light 14 is arranged on the connecting member housing 111, the connecting member housing 111 drives the fill light 14 to rotate on the vertical plane, thereby realizing the rotation of the fill light 14 on both the horizontal and vertical planes, and enabling all-round light compensation for the shooting device 200.

[0135] Among them, the supplementary light 14 can be symmetrically distributed with the movement mechanism 12, which is beneficial to the stable rotation of the connecting piece housing 111 on the horizontal plane.

[0136] In addition, the supplementary light 14 can be arranged on the connecting piece housing 111 by means of screw connection, which is beneficial to the replacement of the supplementary light 14.

[0137] For the panoramic pan-tilt 100 based on the above structure, the second transmission component 113 is used to rotate the movement mechanism 12 in the vertical plane and also to rotate the supplementary light 14 in the vertical plane. Regarding the structure of the second transmission component 113, an example is given in the embodiment of the present invention on the premise of simple structure: as shown in Appendix Figure 5 to Appendix Figure 7 shown, the third motor 1131 fixed in the connecting piece housing 111; the fourth driving wheel 1132 connected to the output shaft of the third motor 1131; the fourth synchronous wheel 1134 meshed with the fourth driving wheel 1132 through the fourth transmission belt 1133; the fourth support shaft 1135 connected to the fourth synchronous wheel 1134, the first end of the fourth support shaft 1135 is connected to the supplementary light 14, and the second end is connected to the movement mechanism 12.

[0138] By setting like this, when the third motor 1131 rotates, the output shaft of the third motor 1131 drives the fourth driving wheel 1132 to rotate clockwise. Since the fourth transmission belt 1133 is meshed with both the fourth driving wheel 1132 and the fourth synchronous wheel 1134, the fourth synchronous wheel 1134 is driven to rotate. Since both the movement mechanism 12 and the supplementary light 14 are connected to the fourth synchronous wheel 1134 through the fourth support shaft 1135, the fourth synchronous wheel 1134 drives the movement mechanism 12 and the supplementary light 14 to rotate in the vertical plane.

[0139] Among them, the structures of the fourth driving wheel 1132, the fourth synchronous wheel 1134 and the fourth transmission belt 1133 can be the same as those of the first driving wheel 1122, the first synchronous wheel 1125 and the first transmission belt 1124 in the first example (1.1), and will not be elaborated here.

[0140] In addition, the setting methods of the third motor 1131, the fourth driving wheel 1132 and the fourth synchronous wheel 1134 are the same as those of the first motor 1121, the second driving wheel 1123 and the second synchronous wheel 1127 in the first example (1.1), and will not be elaborated here.

[0141] Similarly, in order to facilitate the rotation of the movement mechanism 12 and the supplementary light 14 on the connecting piece housing 111, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Appendix Figure 3 shown, a fourth bearing 114d is provided between the first end of the fourth support shaft 1135 and the connecting piece housing 111; a fifth bearing 114e is provided between the second end of the fourth support shaft 1135 and the connecting piece housing 111.

[0142] Among them, the installation methods of the fourth bearing 114d and the fifth bearing 114e are the same as the fixing method of the second bearing 114b in the (1.1) example, and will not be elaborated here. It should be noted that the gland corresponding to the fifth bearing 114e can be arranged on the fourth support shaft 1135 by an integral molding method.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to utilize the wiring of the panoramic pan-tilt 100, as shown in the attached Figure 5 and the attached Figure 6 , a wiring groove 11351 is provided on the wall of the fourth support shaft 1135.

[0144] Through the above settings, it is beneficial for the fill light 14, the movement 12 and the relevant components in the connecting piece housing 111 to be electrically connected. For example, a power supply component for supplying electric energy to the fill light 14 and the movement 12 is arranged in the connecting piece housing 111, then the wires on the fill light 14 and the movement 12 respectively pass through the fourth support shaft 1135 and the wiring groove 11351 in sequence and are electrically connected to the power supply component located in the connecting piece housing 111. Or, a signal transmitter is arranged in the connecting piece housing 111, and the movement 12 can transmit the magnified and processed image information to the shooting device 200 through the signal transmitter. After that, the shooting device 200 transmits the magnified and stitched image information to the fixed base 113 through the signal transmitter, and then to the external device through the fixed base 113. Then the wires of the movement 12 and the shooting device 200 respectively pass through the fourth support shaft 1135 and the wiring groove 11351 in sequence and are electrically connected to the signal transmitter in the connecting piece housing 111.

[0145] Among them, regarding the shape of the wiring groove 11351, for example, it can be set as a strip groove structure distributed along the fourth support shaft 1135.

[0146] In addition, regarding the number of the wiring grooves 11351, it can be set as 1, 2, etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the number of the wiring grooves 11351, as long as effective wiring can be carried out.

[0147] On the other hand, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a panoramic shooting system, as shown in the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 3 , the panoramic shooting system includes the panoramic pan-tilt 100 described in any one of the above, and a shooting device 200; the panoramic pan-tilt 100 is used to fix the shooting device 200.

[0148] The panoramic shooting system provided by the embodiment of the present invention enables the shooting device 200 to be relatively fixedly disposed on the top of the connecting member 11 with respect to the fixed base 13 through the connecting member 11 of the panoramic pan-tilt 100, and is fixed on the roof of the target vehicle through the fixed base 13, which increases the distance between the shooting device 200 and the roof of the target vehicle, improves the shooting angle of the shooting device 200, and avoids that most of the scenes captured by the shooting device 200 are the roof of the target vehicle.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of lenses 21 are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction of the shooting device 200 to effectively splice the captured images.

[0150] All of the above optional technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form alternative embodiments of the present disclosure, which will not be elaborated herein one by one.

[0151] The above are only illustrative embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
