[0081] Embodiment 1

[0082] This embodiment relates to a vehicle-mounted gimbal assembly, which provides a vehicle-mounted gimbal assembly structure that can be raised and lowered, and an exemplary structure thereof is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.19 , Fig. 20 and Fig.21 shown.

[0083] In general, the vehicle-mounted gimbal assembly includes a mounting shell 23 disposed in the dashboard 12 and forming a receiving space 122, wherein the receiving space 122 is used to place the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1, and also includes a lifting drive mechanism disposed on the mounting shell 23, and a controller not shown in the figure.

[0084] Among them, the lifting drive mechanism includes a lifting platform 20 slidably set in the accommodating space 122, and a lifting drive unit 21 transmission connected to the lifting platform 20, the vehicle-mounted pan-tilt head 1 is connected to the lifting platform 20, and the lifting drive unit 21 includes a rotation drive unit 2101, and a screw 2102 transmission connected to the rotation drive unit 2101.

[0085] The lead screw 2102 is arranged along the lifting direction of the lifting platform 20, the lifting platform 20 is screwed on the lead screw 2102, and the lifting drive unit 21 responds to the control signal of the controller to drive the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 on the lifting platform 20 to be exposed outside the dashboard 12 through the opening 121, or to retract into the accommodating space 122.

[0086] Based on the above overall design, the lifting drive mechanism in the prior art is generally driven by a gear rack or a connecting rod, and has a large lifting action range and unstable operation. At the same time, the use of a gear rack or a connecting rod cannot achieve the problem of hovering at any position during the lifting process of the lifting platform 20.

[0087] This embodiment adopts the screw transmission mode, and utilizes the characteristics of the screw transmission mode that the screw transmission mode runs smoothly, so as to ensure that the lifting platform 20 runs smoothly during the lifting process, and realizes the precise control of the lifting drive mechanism. In addition, by screwing the lifting platform 20 to the screw 2102, the screw 2102 and the screw nut thread match, it is also possible to realize free suspension at any position and height, thereby improving the use effect.

[0088] In addition, by providing a mounting housing 23 in the instrument panel 12, the formation of the receiving space 122 and the installation configuration of the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 can be facilitated. The above-mentioned controller can be provided on the mounting housing 23, for example, and it can adopt an existing single-chip microcomputer or other control device with data processing capability. Of course, in addition to using a separately arranged control device, this embodiment can also make the controller integrated in the vehicle's control unit to control the actions of each actuator in the vehicle-mounted gimbal assembly.

[0089] At the same time, in order to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt platform 1, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt platform 1 and the lifting platform 20 are preferably connected by a detachable structure. For example, a screw connection structure or a clamping structure can be used. At the same time, the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted pan / tilt platform 1 generally includes a camera module, which can be Figure 3 The pocket camera shown is either Fig. 27 Image acquisition devices such as vehicle-mounted cameras are shown.

[0090] In addition, in order to better understand the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt assembly of this embodiment, the following first refers to Fig.25 and Fig.26 The structure of the installation housing 23 is described. As a preferred implementation, the installation housing 23 mainly includes an upper housing 2301, a bottom plate 2302 and a lower housing 2303 which are sequentially connected from top to bottom.

[0091] Specifically, the upper shell 2301 is a hollow structure, and the upper and lower parts of the upper shell 2301 are both formed with openings. The upper shell 2301 is connected to the bottom plate 2302, and the bottom plate 2302 can block the lower opening of the upper shell 2301. An upper cavity is formed in the upper shell 2301, and the lifting platform 20, the lead screw 2102 and the guide rod 22 are all located in the upper cavity, and the upper cavity constitutes the aforementioned receiving space 122. A lower cavity with an upper opening is formed in the lower shell 2303, and the lower shell 2303 is connected to the bottom plate 2302, and the bottom plate 2302 can block the upper opening of the lower shell 2303, and the rotation drive unit 2101 and the transmission unit 2103 are located in the lower cavity.

[0092] Reference Fig.26 As shown, a first support plate 23031 and a second support plate 23032 are formed in the lower cavity of the lower shell 2303, wherein there are three first support plates 23031, which are used to fix the rotation drive unit 2101 described below, and the second support plates 23032 are used to arrange the second worm 21033 described below. It should be noted that, in addition to the first support plate 23031 and the second support plate 23032, other support structures can also be arranged to facilitate the arrangement of the transmission unit 2103 described below.

[0093] The structure of the lifting platform 20 can still refer to Fig.26 As shown, the whole is roughly plate-shaped, and four screw holes 2003 are formed on the lifting platform 20, which can facilitate the installation of other parts on the lifting platform 20, such as Figure 5 The mounting base 2 shown.

[0094] Four guide holes 2001 with smooth inner walls are formed at the four corners of the lifting platform 20, which are convenient for cooperating with the guide rod 22 described below to guide the lifting platform 20 to slide along its own lifting direction. In addition, a convex structure 2002 is formed on one side of the lifting platform 20, and a threaded hole is formed on the convex structure 2002 to facilitate screw connection with the lead screw 2102, and the lifting platform 20 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the lead screw 2102.

[0095] As a preferred embodiment, the lifting platform 20 is slidably arranged in the instrument panel 12 along its own lifting direction. In order to facilitate the sliding of the lifting platform 20, a guiding unit for guiding the lifting and lowering of the lifting platform 20 is provided in the instrument panel 12.

[0096] The guide unit specifically includes four guide rods 22 arranged in the instrument panel 12. The four guide rods 22 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the guide holes 2001 on the lifting platform 20, and each guide rod 22 is inserted into the corresponding guide hole 2001 to guide the lifting platform 20 to slide axially along the guide rod 22.

[0097] In terms of specific structure, corresponding to each guide rod 22, an outwardly protruding plate body is provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the upper cavity, and a through hole is provided on the plate body. The upper part of the guide rod 22 can pass through the corresponding through hole and can be fixed by a first nut 19 screwed to the guide rod 22; the lower part of the guide rod 22 can be directly fixed on the bottom plate 2302, such as by screwing.

[0098] It should be noted here that, for ease of arrangement, in this embodiment, the number of guide rods 22 is four. In addition, the number of guide rods 22 can of course be other values, such as two, three, etc., which can guide the lifting platform 20 to slide smoothly relative to the mounting shell 23.

[0099] like Figure 22 to Figure 24 and Fig.26 As shown, the lifting drive unit 21 mainly includes a rotation drive unit 2101, a transmission unit 2103 and a lead screw 2102. The lead screw 2102 is rotatably arranged in the instrument panel 12, and the lead screw 2102 is arranged along the lifting direction of the lifting platform 20, and the rotation drive unit 2101 is connected to the lead screw 2102 through the transmission unit 2103.

[0100] In the specific configuration, an opening adapted to the second nut 24 can be provided on the guide rod, the second nut 24 is fixed in the opening, and the lower part of the lead screw 2102 is screwed to the second nut 24. The upper end of the lead screw 2102 is also screwed with the second nut 24, which can facilitate limiting the upward sliding position of the lifting platform 20.

[0101] As a preferred embodiment, the lifting drive unit 21 can use a motor with a rotation power output end, connect the transmission unit 2103 to the power output end of the motor, and connect the lead screw 2102 to the transmission unit 2103. In this way, the motor can output power to drive the lead screw 2102 to rotate through the transmission unit 2103, so that the lifting platform 20 can slide along the axial direction of the guide rod 22.

[0102] As a preferred embodiment, the transmission unit 2103 adopts a worm gear transmission structure, and in terms of specific structure, the transmission unit 2103 mainly includes a first worm 21031 , a first worm wheel 21032 , a second worm 21033 and a second worm wheel 21034 .

[0103] Among them, the first worm 21031 is connected to the power output end of the motor, the first worm 21031 is meshed and connected with the first worm wheel 21032, the first worm wheel 21032 and the second worm 21033 are coaxially arranged, and the first worm wheel 21032 can be fixedly connected to the second worm 21033, the second worm 21033 is meshed and connected with the second worm wheel 21034, and the second worm wheel 21034 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 2102. By adopting two sets of worm gear transmission structures, while ensuring the smooth operation of the vehicle-mounted gimbal during the lifting process, the lifting drive mechanism can also be self-locked, which is convenient for hovering at any height position, and avoiding the reverse force of the equipment caused by vehicle vibration to affect the motor.

[0104] When the vehicle-mounted gimbal assembly of this embodiment is actually used, the rotation driving force is output by the rotation driving unit 2101, thereby driving the first worm 21031 to rotate. The first worm 21031 transmits the rotation driving force to the lead screw 2102 via the first worm wheel 21032, the second worm 21033, and the second worm wheel 21034 in sequence. Since the lead screw 2102 is threadedly connected to the lifting platform 20, the lifting platform 20 can move up and down along the axial direction of the guide rod 22 under the guidance of the guide rod 22.

[0105] In this embodiment, a lifting drive unit 21 and a lifting platform 20 driven by the lifting drive unit 21 are provided. Since the vehicle-mounted pan-tilt head 1 is assembled on the lifting platform 20, the vehicle-mounted pan-tilt head 1 can be driven to rise and fall, which makes it convenient to hide the vehicle-mounted pan-tilt head 1 in the dashboard, and is beneficial to improving the personalization and interest of the vehicle cabin interior.

[0106] In this embodiment, in order to cover and hide the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 after it is lowered and stored in the storage space 122, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a cover plate 13 pivotally connected to the mounting housing 23 is provided at the opening 121 , and a cover plate flipping mechanism drivingly connected to the cover plate 13 is also provided on the mounting housing 23 .

[0107] The cover flipping mechanism is used to drive the cover 13 to flip and open and close, and as a feasible implementation form, the cover flipping mechanism specifically includes a driving part arranged in the instrument panel 12, and a transmission part connected between the driving part and the cover 13. Driven by the driving part, the cover 13 can flip at the opening 121 to open or close the opening 121, so that when the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 is retracted, the opening 121 can be covered to achieve concealment of the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1.

[0108] Specifically, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 Combined with Figure 4 As shown, the cover flipping mechanism of this embodiment mainly includes a driving part and a transmission part.

[0109] Among them, in this embodiment, the cover plate 13 and the cover plate flipping mechanism are arranged on the installation shell 23, and the installation of the cover plate 13 and the cover plate flipping mechanism on the installation shell 23 can be completed in advance, and then the installation shell 23 is installed on the instrument panel 12, thereby facilitating the assembly operation of the assembly, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the assembly.

[0110] In this embodiment, a connecting arm 130 is respectively provided on both sides of the cover plate 13, and the connecting arms 130 on both sides extend to the side facing the receiving space 122. The cover plate 13 is pivotally connected to the mounting housing 23 through the two connecting arms 130 provided on both sides. A rack portion 131 arranged around the pivot axis of the cover plate 13 is formed on one of the two connecting arms 130, and the transmission portion is transmission-connected to the rack portion 131, so that the cover plate 13 can be flipped under the driving of the driving portion.

[0111] The cover plate 13 is pivotally connected to the instrument panel 12 by utilizing the connecting arms 130 on both sides thereof, and the driving force transmitted by the transmission part is received by means of the rack portion 131 provided on the connecting arms 130, which is beneficial to the neatness of the upper surface of the cover plate 13, and makes the overall structure of the cover plate 13 compact, facilitating the setting of the driving structure.

[0112] In this embodiment, the driving part preferably adopts a rotation driving device 141 such as a motor, and for the installation of the rotation driving device 141, for example, a protruding mounting column 152 can be constructed on the side of the mounting shell 23, a screw hole is opened on the mounting column 152, and the rotation driving device 141 is fixed to the mounting column 152 by the mounting screw 151.

[0113] As a preferred implementation form, the transmission part includes a gear transmission unit that is transmission-connected between the power output end 142 of the driving part and the rack part 131. At this time, the gear transmission unit is used to realize the transmission between the rotation driving device 141 and the rack part 131, which not only has stable and reliable transmission performance, but also facilitates changing the transmission ratio, thereby obtaining an ideal opening and closing action speed of the cover plate 13.

[0114] Specifically, the gear transmission unit includes a driving gear 145 connected to the power output end 142 of the rotation drive device 141, and a plurality of transmission gears 146 arranged between the driving gear 145 and the rack portion 131, and the transmission gear 146 meshes with the driving gear 145 and the rack portion 131 to form a gear transmission structure. However, in addition to the transmission gear 146 located in the middle, of course, the driving gear 145 and the rack portion 131 can also be directly meshed in this embodiment, so that the rotation drive device 141 can also drive the cover plate 13.

[0115] By providing a driving gear 145 on the power output end 142 and then utilizing the driving gear 145 or a transmission gear 146 meshing with the driving gear 145 to realize meshing transmission of the rack portion 131, this embodiment can provide a compact and efficient gear transmission form, and it also has the advantage of being easy to process, manufacture and assemble.

[0116] In order to improve the stability of the cover plate 13 turning over under the driving of the rotation drive device 141, as a preferred implementation form, a damping part can be further provided in the cover plate turning mechanism of this embodiment. The damping part is connected to the cover plate 13 in a transmission manner to apply a damping force to the cover plate 13 in the turning process, and the installation arrangement of the damping part can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific configuration of the cover plate turning mechanism.

[0117] In this embodiment, as a feasible implementation form, the damping part specifically includes a rotation damper 148 that is transmission-connected to the driving gear 145 or the transmission gear 146. The rotation damper 148 can generally be fixed to the mounting housing 23 by means of a snap connection or a screw connection, and it can be an existing rotation damping product. At the same time, in a specific implementation, the setting method of connecting the rotation damper 148 with the transmission gear 146 can be as follows: Figures 2 to 4 As shown in , a damper bracket 149 is provided on the mounting housing 23 , and the rotary damper 148 is clamped on the damper bracket 149 and coaxially connected with the transmission gear 146 .

[0118] The arrangement form in which the rotary damper 148 is connected to the driving gear 145 can be Figure 4 Similar to that shown in FIG, a mounting hole for mounting the rotation damper 148 is provided on the mounting housing 23, and the rotation damper 148 is mounted in the mounting hole and is coaxially connected to the driving gear 145 and the rotation driving device 141.

[0119] In order to ensure that the cover 13 can be stopped at a suitable position when opening and closing, and to ensure the reliability of the cover 13 flipping movement, the cover flipping mechanism of this embodiment also includes a limiter. In terms of overall design, the limiter can abut against the connecting arm 130 flipped with the cover 13 to limit the opening and / or closing of the cover 13, so that the cover 13 is limited in position after opening, and at the same time, the cover 13 can be just limited to a position flush with the surface of the instrument panel 12 after closing.

[0120] In specific implementation, as a feasible implementation, based on the setting of the damper bracket 149, this embodiment can form a limiting portion 150 on the top of the damper bracket 149. When the cover plate 13 is opened to the right position, the connecting arm 130 located on one side of the damper bracket 149 can abut against the limiting portion 150, thereby limiting the opening of the cover plate 13. At this time, the limiting portion 150 on the damper bracket 149 constitutes the limiting structure in the limiting portion for limiting the opening of the cover plate 13.

[0121] At the same time, relative to the side where the limiting portion 150 is located, in this embodiment, a limiting block (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the other side of the mounting shell 23. The limiting block can be fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting shell 23, and it can abut and cooperate with the limiting protrusion 154 provided on the connecting arm 130 on the corresponding side to achieve the limiting of the cover plate 13 when closing. At this time, the limiting block and the limiting protrusion 154 on the connecting arm 130 on the same side also constitute the limiting structure in the above-mentioned limiting portion for limiting the closing of the cover plate 13.

[0122] It should be noted that the pivotal installation of the cover plate 13 on the mounting housing 23 and the installation of the mounting housing 23 in the instrument panel 12 can be carried out by conventional rotational installation and fixed installation. For example, the cover plate 13 can be rotatably arranged by the flip shaft 153 passing through the connecting arm 130, and the mounting housing 23 can be fixedly installed in the instrument panel 12 by means of clamping, welding or screwing.

[0123] Specifically, taking the screw connection as an example, a plurality of mounting brackets 15 may be provided on both sides of the upper portion of the mounting housing 23, each mounting bracket 15 may have a mounting hole, and the mounting housing 23 may be mounted on the lower surface of the instrument panel 12 using mounting screws 151. For pivoting the cover plate 13 through the flip shaft 153, a pivot hole may be provided on the connecting arm 130, and two mounting posts 152 may be provided on the mounting housing 23 corresponding to the pivot holes on the two connecting arms 130, and a screw connection hole may be provided on each mounting post 152.

[0124] During installation, the turning shaft 153 passing through the pivot hole is fixed on the installation column 152 by using the installation screw 151 .

[0125] It is understandable that, in this embodiment, by arranging the cover flipping mechanism inside the instrument panel 12, the cover flipping mechanism itself can be hidden. Moreover, the opening 121 of the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 can be opened and closed by the flippable cover 13, and the opening 121 can be covered after the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 is retracted into the receiving space 122. At the same time, the cover flipping action is driven by the driving part and the transmission part in the cover flipping mechanism, so that the opening and closing action of the cover 13 can be automatically realized, so as to assist in realizing the automatic hiding function of the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1, so that when the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 is arranged on the instrument panel 12, the quality of the whole vehicle can be improved.

[0126] In this embodiment, in order to realize the setting of the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 on the lifting platform 20 of the lifting drive mechanism, as one of the above-mentioned detachable setting forms, in the specific implementation, in addition to making the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 directly connected to the lifting platform 20, this embodiment can also be as follows Figure 3 As shown, a mounting module 17 is arranged on the lifting platform 20 , and the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 is detachably arranged on the mounting module 17 .

[0127] Regarding the installation module 17, in detail, Figure 5 As shown, the mounting module 17 includes a mounting seat 2 with a mounting space, a mounting platform 3 that can be placed in the mounting space, and a locking assembly 4 rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 2. The vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 is specifically connected to the mounting platform 3, and a connection module for electrical connection and / or data connection between the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 and the outside world can also be arranged on the mounting platform 3. The connection module usually uses a wiring harness with a USB interface, and according to the different interface structures of the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1, the USB interface on the wiring harness can also be replaced with other interface structures.

[0128] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 4 is arranged at one side of the installation space, and the locking assembly 4 is driven to rotate to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the locking assembly 4 can press at least one side of the mounting platform 3 to fix the mounting platform 3 in the installation space, and in the unlocked position, the locking assembly 4 removes the pressing of the mounting platform 3, and the mounting platform 3 can be taken out of the installation space.

[0129] Specifically, if Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the mounting module 17 mainly includes a mounting space formed on the mounting seat 2 , a mounting platform 3 that can be placed in the mounting space, and a locking assembly 4 rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 2 .

[0130] Among them, a connecting piece 301 is provided on the mounting platform 3, which can be used to connect the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1. The locking component 4 is arranged on one side of the mounting space, and the locking component 4 is driven to rotate and can switch between a locked position and an unlocked position.

[0131] When the locking assembly 4 rotates to the locking position, the locking assembly 4 can squeeze at least one side of the mounting table 3 to fix the mounting table 3 in the mounting space. In the unlocking position, the locking assembly 4 removes the squeezing of the mounting table 3, and the mounting table 3 can be removed from the mounting space.

[0132] in, Figure 5 The state shown is a schematic structural diagram of the locking handle 401 in the locking position. In the unlocking position, the locking handle 401 is out of contact with the mounting platform 3 and the pressing force on the mounting platform 3 is removed. Figure 8 The state shown is a schematic diagram of the structure of the locking handle 401 in the unlocking position, and Figure 7 The state shown is a schematic structural diagram of the locking handle 401 in the middle position between the locking position and the unlocking position.

[0133] Still Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the mounting platform 3 is installed on the mounting seat 2, the connecting piece 301 can be connected to the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1, the locking component 4 is arranged on the mounting seat 2 and is located on one side of the mounting platform 3, and the locking component 4 can be operated to squeeze the mounting platform 3 to fix the mounting platform 3 on the mounting seat 2, or to remove the squeezing of the mounting platform 3 to facilitate the removal of the mounting platform 3.

[0134] In addition, in order to further understand the various parts of the installation module 17 of this embodiment, the following first refers to Fig.10 The structure of the mounting base 2 is described in detail. A mounting groove 201 with one side open is provided on the mounting base 2. The mounting groove 201 forms a mounting space for accommodating the mounting platform 3. A bayonet 202 is provided on the other side of the mounting groove 201 relative to the open side. The locking assembly 4 is arranged on the open side of the mounting groove 201, and the squeezed mounting platform 3 is fixed between the locking assembly 4 and the bayonet 202.

[0135] In terms of specific structure, relative to the open side, a notch 205 is provided on the inner wall on the other side of the mounting groove 201, and snap-on holes 202 are provided on both sides of the notch 205. The inner walls on both sides of the notch 205 are inclined from top to bottom toward the side away from the mounting groove 201 to form the snap-on holes 202, so that it is convenient to firmly fix the mounting platform 3 in the mounting groove 201.

[0136] The two first side surfaces 207 on both sides of the mounting groove 201 are arranged vertically, that is, the first side surfaces 207 are not inclined from top to bottom, so that the mounting platform 3 can be pushed upward by the locking pin 9 described below. Specifically, the mounting seat 2 is provided with a mounting hole 203 located on the open side of the mounting groove 201, and the third elastic member 8 and the locking pin 9 are installed in the mounting hole 203.

[0137] When the locking handle 401 is in the locked state, the mounting platform 3 can be subjected to external force to press the locking pin 9, the third elastic member 8 stores energy, and as the locking portion 402 removes the pressure on the mounting platform 3, the locking pin 9 is ejected by the third elastic member 8, and the mounting platform 3 can be pushed out of the mounting groove 201. Preferably, the third elastic member 8 is a compression spring, one end of which is connected to the bottom wall of the mounting hole 203, and the other end is connected to the locking pin 9.

[0138] In order to facilitate the arrangement of the locking assembly 4, the mounting seat 2 has an outwardly protruding convex portion 206 on the open side of the mounting groove 201, and the locking assembly 4 is rotatably mounted on the convex portion 206. Specifically, a through hole 2061 is formed on the convex portion 206, and the first rotating shaft 404 of the locking assembly 4 is mounted at the through hole 2061.

[0139] Reference Fig. 9 As shown, a screw hole (not shown) is further provided at the bottom of the mounting base 2, so that the mounting base 2 can be fixedly connected to the mounting shell in the receiving space 122 via screws.

[0140] The structure of the mounting platform 3 can be referred to Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, its shape is a prism, and a first groove 303 with an open bottom is formed inside, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs are formed on the peripheral wall of the first groove 303, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged at intervals on the peripheral wall of the first groove 303. An opening 304 is formed in the middle of the top wall to facilitate the installation of the connecting member 301, and grooves not shown in the figure are formed on both sides of the opening 304 to facilitate the accommodation of the buffer pad 10.

[0141] In the specific setting, the buffer pad 10 can be made of rubber material to effectively protect the mounting platform 3 and the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 when the connecting piece 301 is connected to the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1. A plurality of grooves are formed on the exposed side of the buffer pad 10. When the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 is connected to the connecting piece 301, the friction between the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 and the buffer pad 10 is increased, thereby preventing the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 from rotating when the operating piece 302 described below is rotated, and facilitating the connection of the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 and the connecting piece 301 together.

[0142] The structure of the connecting member 301 can still refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, it is rotatably arranged at the opening 304 of the mounting platform 3, and as a preferred embodiment, the connecting member 301 mainly includes a head 3011 and a connecting portion 3012. Among them, the head 3011 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting platform 3, the top of the connecting portion 3012 extends from the top of the mounting platform 3, and the part of the connecting portion 3012 extending outside the top of the mounting platform 3 is constructed as a stud structure. At the same time, a threaded hole is arranged at the bottom of the vehicle-mounted pan-tilt head 1, so that the vehicle-mounted pan-tilt head 1 and the mounting platform 3 are connected by screwing between the connecting portion 3012 and the threaded hole.

[0143] Of course, in addition to using Fig.12 As another feasible implementation, the connecting member 301 may also adopt a conventional bolt structure.

[0144] In addition, for ease of use, in this embodiment, an operating member 302 for operating the connecting member 301 is also provided on the head 3011, and the operating member 302 is rotatably connected to the head 3011 and can be stored at the bottom of the mounting platform 3, or unfolded relative to the mounting platform 3.

[0145] As a preferred embodiment, the operating member 302 is approximately semicircular, having an arc-shaped main body and bends formed at both ends of the main body, and the bends on both sides are coaxially arranged. Corresponding to each bend, the side of the head 3011 is formed with a groove, and each bend is respectively embedded in the corresponding groove, so that the operating member 302 can rotate around the center line of the bend.

[0146] When the mounting platform 3 is placed in the mounting space on the mounting base 2, the operating member 302 can be rotated to Fig.12 In the storage state shown in FIG. 1 , when it is stored at the bottom of the mounting table 3, the occupied space can be effectively reduced; after the mounting table 3 is taken out from the mounting seat 2, the operating member 302 can be rotated to Fig.11 In the unfolded state shown, the connecting member 301 can be driven to rotate by rotating the operating member 302, so that the connecting member 301 and the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 can be screwed together.

[0147] It should be noted that, of course, it is also possible not to set the operating member 302. For example, the end of the head 3011 facing away from the connecting portion 3012 is formed with an operating portion, such as a straight groove, a cross groove or a groove of other shapes, so that the connecting member 301 can be rotated using existing tools such as a screwdriver. In addition, the operating portion can also be an external convex structure that can cooperate with a socket wrench, so that the connecting member 301 can be rotated using an existing socket wrench, which is also feasible. However, it is understandable that the structure of this operating portion, compared with the scheme of setting the operating member 302 in this embodiment, requires the use of external tools, and the operation is relatively inconvenient.

[0148] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 Combined with Fig.13As shown, the locking assembly 4 specifically includes a locking handle 401 rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 2. In terms of overall structure, the cross section of the locking handle 401 is roughly triangular, one end of which is nearly pointed, while the other end is larger in size and formed with a locking portion 402. In terms of specific structure, the locking portion 402 is in an outwardly convex arc shape, and when the locking handle 401 is in the locking position, the locking portion 402 can abut against the mounting platform 3 to squeeze the mounting platform 3. It should be noted here that the abutting surface of the locking portion 402 abutting against the mounting platform 3 is conical, so that it can fit and connect with the side wall of the mounting platform during the rotation of the locking assembly, which is convenient for squeezing the mounting platform 3.

[0149] Fig.13 The structure of the locking handle 401 is shown, and a first rotating shaft 404 is provided at one end close to the locking handle 401, and the first rotating shaft 404 is installed at the aforementioned through hole 2061, so that the locking handle 401 can rotate relative to the mounting seat 2. It should be noted that, in actual setting, an opening with internal threads can also be provided at the position of the locking handle 401 where the first rotating shaft 404 is provided, and the first rotating shaft 404 can specifically adopt an existing bolt. When the locking handle 401 is placed on the top of the mounting seat 2 and the opening is aligned with the through hole 2061, the bolt passes through the through hole 2061 from the bottom of the mounting seat 2 upward and is screwed with the opening, so that the locking handle 401 can be rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 2.

[0150] For the convenience of operation, a first elastic member 5 is provided between the mounting seat 2 and the locking handle 401. Figure 8 The first elastic member 5 stores energy and releases energy, which can drive the locking handle 401 to return to the locking position, so that the locking handle 401 can automatically fix the mounting platform 3 on the mounting seat 2.

[0151] As a preferred embodiment, the first elastic member 5 can adopt an existing torsion spring, which is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 404 , and one end of the torsion spring is connected to the mounting seat 2 , and the other end is connected to the locking handle 401 .

[0152] It should also be noted that if Fig.13 As shown, a locking groove 4021 is formed on the outer wall of the end of the locking handle 401 provided with the first rotating shaft 404, and as the locking portion 402 enters the unlocking position, the locking pin 9 can be embedded in the locking groove 4021 to limit the locking handle 401 to the unlocking position. In addition, an opening is provided in the middle of the locking handle 401 to facilitate the installation of the safety switch 6 described below.

[0153] The other end of the locking handle 401 is provided with a downwardly convex blocking piece 403 relative to the end provided with the locking groove 4021. When the locking handle 401 is rotated to the locking position, the blocking piece 403 can be blocked on one side of the mounting seat 2 to limit the rotation position of the locking handle 401. In addition, the setting of the blocking piece 403 is also convenient for arranging the second elastic member 7 described below.

[0154] In order to ensure the reliability of the locking handle 401 locking the mounting platform 3, as a preferred implementation form, the present embodiment also has a safety switch 6 rotatably connected to the locking handle 401. The safety switch 6 rotates relative to the locking handle 401 and can be switched between an open position and a closed position. In the open position of the safety switch 6, that is, the position where the safety switch 6 is in effect, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the safety switch 6 and the mounting base 2 interfere with each other, and the locking handle 401 can be constrained in the locking position. Figure 6 In the closed position of the safety switch 6 shown, the interference between the safety switch 6 and the mounting seat 2 is eliminated, and the locking handle 401 can be rotated to the unlocking position.

[0155] For the interference between the above-mentioned safety switch 6 and the mounting base 2, still refer to Fig. 9 As shown, an interference surface 604 is formed at one end of the safety switch 6 close to the mounting seat 2, and the above interference is generated between the interference surface 604 and the mounting seat 2. Specifically, when the safety switch 6 is in the open position and the locking handle 401 is to be opened, the locking handle 401 is pulled, and the safety switch 6 tends to rotate synchronously with the locking handle 401. However, once the safety switch 6 rotates with the locking handle 401, the interference surface 604 will abut against the mounting seat 2, and the abutment will form an interference effect, so that the mounting seat 2 can prevent the safety switch 6, that is, the locking handle 401, from rotating to the unlocking position.

[0156] The safety switch 6 moves from the open position to the closed position, that is, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, turn the safety switch 6 counterclockwise to make the safety switch 6 reach the position shown in the figure. Fig. 9 At the same time, combined with Fig. 9 As shown in , when the safety switch 6 is pulled to the closed position, it can be understood that, in the closed position, the interference surface 604 on the safety switch 6 will be away from the mounting seat 2. If the safety switch 6 is kept in the closed position, the locking handle 401 is pulled, and the safety switch 6 is rotated synchronously with the locking handle 401, since the interference surface 604 will no longer abut against the mounting seat 2, the above-mentioned interference effect will not be generated, and the locking handle 401 can be rotated to the unlocking position with the safety switch 6 to unlock the mounting platform 3.

[0157] Fig.14 and Fig.15The structure of the safety switch 6 is shown. The shape of the safety switch 6 is similar to that of the locking handle 401, but the size is relatively smaller. A connecting hole 603 is provided at one end of the safety switch 6 away from the sharp part thereof. The safety switch 6 can be rotatably arranged on the locking handle 401 via a second rotating shaft 601 passing through the connecting hole 603. Here, the second rotating shaft 601 can be an existing bolt, which passes through the safety switch 6 and is connected to the locking handle 401.

[0158] For ease of operation, a second elastic member 7 is provided between the safety switch 6 and the locking handle 401. As the safety switch 6 rotates toward the closed position, the second elastic member 7 stores energy, and the second elastic member 7 releases energy to drive the safety switch 6 back to the open position.

[0159] As a preferred implementation, the second elastic member 7 may be an existing spring, which is located in the second groove 602 , and one end of the spring is connected to the bottom wall of the second groove 602 , and the other end is connected to the blocking piece 403 .

[0160] When the installation module 17 of this embodiment needs to install the pan / tilt device, the safety switch 6 is first turned counterclockwise, and then the locking handle 401 is rotated clockwise as a whole while the safety switch 6 is turned, so that the locking portion 402 on the locking handle 401 is disengaged from the abutment with the mounting platform 3. As the locking portion 402 is disengaged, the locking pin 9 is ejected by the third spring, and the ejected locking pin 9 ejects one end of the mounting platform 3, so that the mounting platform 3 can be easily removed. At the same time, when the locking handle 401 is rotated to the unlocked position, the ejected locking pin 9 is embedded in the locking groove 4021, and the locking handle 401 is also restricted to the unlocked position to prevent the locking handle 401 from returning to its original position under the action of the first spring.

[0161] After the mounting platform 3 is taken out, the pan / tilt device and the mounting platform 3 are fixedly connected together by rotating the operating member 302. Then, the mounting platform 3 with the pan / tilt device is placed in the mounting groove 201, and one end of the mounting platform 3 is first aligned with the entry bayonet 202, and then the other end of the mounting platform 3 is pressed down. The pressed mounting platform 3 presses the locking pin 9 into the mounting hole 203. As the locking pin 9 returns to the mounting hole 203, the locking pin 9 escapes from the locking groove 4021. At this time, under the action of the first elastic member 5, the locking handle 401 can automatically return to the locking position. At the same time, after entering the locking position, the safety switch 6 is in the open position under the action of the second elastic member 7, which can prevent the locking handle 401 from loosening clockwise. In the counterclockwise direction, the locking handle 401 is blocked by the mounting seat 2 and will not loosen.

[0162] The installation module 17 of this embodiment is provided with a connecting piece 301 on the installation platform 3, which can be connected to the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1. Therefore, by taking out or fixing the installation platform 3, the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 can be taken out or fixed on the mounting seat 2. It has the characteristics of easy disassembly and assembly and convenient user operation.

[0163] and Fig.16 , Fig.17 That is, it shows that the installation module 17 is located in the receiving space 122, and the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 is installed by the installation module 17. Fig.17 In the figure, the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 is in working state. Fig.18 The assembly relationship between the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 and the mounting base 2 is specifically shown.

[0164] In this embodiment, it should be noted that, in addition to using the above-mentioned installation module 17 to install the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1, of course, Fig. 27 As shown, an expansion dock module 18 may also be provided on the lifting platform 20 , and the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 may be connected to the expansion dock module 18 thereby.

[0165] The expansion dock module 18 generally adopts Fig. 27 The square block structure shown in the figure is sufficient, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 20, and the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 is also connected to the expansion dock module 18 in a detachable manner. At this time, for example, a convex stud structure can be fixedly set on the top of the expansion dock 18, and the vehicle-mounted pan / tilt head 1 is still connected to the expansion dock module 18 through the threaded hole at its bottom and the screw connection structure.

[0166] Similar to the arrangement on the aforementioned mounting platform 3, in this embodiment, a connection module for electrical connection and / or data connection between the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 and the outside world can also be arranged on the docking station module 18. The connection module can also use a wiring harness with a USB interface or other interface structure. Moreover, regardless of whether the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 is installed through the mounting module 17 or the docking station module 18, in actual application, the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 can be connected to the central control screen of the vehicle through the connection module, so that the data of the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 can be viewed through the central control screen or related settings can be made.

[0167] To sum up, the vehicle-mounted gimbal assembly of the present embodiment arranges the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 in the accommodation space 122 in a liftable manner through a lifting drive mechanism, and the controller gives a control signal to the lifting drive mechanism. The lifting drive mechanism can automatically drive the vehicle-mounted gimbal 1 to rise and fall, so that it is exposed from the opening 121, or retracted into the accommodation space 122, thereby providing a liftable and foldable vehicle-mounted gimbal assembly structure, which can improve the use quality of the vehicle.

[0168] Embodiment 2

[0169] This embodiment relates to a vehicle, in which a dashboard 12 of the vehicle is provided with the vehicle-mounted gimbal assembly provided in the first embodiment.

[0170] In addition, a trigger module connected to the controller is also provided in the vehicle of this embodiment. The trigger module is used to respond to external operations and can trigger the controller to output a control signal so as to control the rotation drive device 141 or the lifting drive unit 21 to operate through the controller.
