[0002] As people have higher and higher requirements for shooting techniques and shooting effects, fixing the camera to a gimbal assembly helps videographers operate it more easily and improves the shooting effect.

[0003] Depending on the shooting scenario, camera shooting typically includes both horizontal and vertical shooting. However, cameras are usually mounted fixedly on gimbal components, and the mounting method is relatively simple. Switching from horizontal to vertical shooting often requires a relatively complex operation. During the shooting process, this complex switching operation is difficult to meet the shooting requirements of consumers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] A gimbal assembly includes a first driving member and a first bracket for mounting an imaging device. The first driving member can drive the first bracket to rotate, thereby stabilizing the imaging device in a first direction. The first bracket includes a first axis arm, a second axis arm, and an adjustment structure. The first axis arm is driven to the first driving member and is connected to the second axis arm through the adjustment structure. The adjustment structure can adjust the angle between the second axis arm and the first axis arm, so that the imaging device can capture images at different orientation angles.

[0006] A handheld gimbal includes a handheld part and the aforementioned gimbal assembly, wherein the handheld part is used to support the gimbal assembly.

[0007] The gimbal assembly of the aforementioned handheld gimbal allows for adjustment of the angle between the first and second axes via an adjustable structure, facilitating easier setting of the imaging device's orientation angle. For example, the gimbal assembly enables simple switching between horizontal and vertical shooting modes. This eliminates the need for cumbersome operations that could negatively impact the gimbal's shooting efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Although the invention can readily be embodied in various forms of implementation, only some specific embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings and will be described in detail in this specification. It is understood that this specification should be regarded as an exemplary illustration of the inventive principles and is not intended to limit the invention to what is described herein.

[0038] Therefore, a feature described in this specification is used to illustrate one feature of one embodiment of the invention, and does not imply that every embodiment of the invention must have the described feature. Furthermore, it should be noted that this specification describes many features. While certain features may be combined to illustrate possible system designs, these features may also be used in other combinations not explicitly described. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to be limiting.

[0039] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) used to explain the structure and movement of the various elements of the invention are relative rather than absolute. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings. If the descriptions of the positions of these elements change, these directional indications also change accordingly.

[0040] The preferred embodiments of the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a handheld gimbal. The handheld gimbal includes a gimbal assembly 1 and a handheld part 2. The handheld part 2 is used to support the gimbal assembly 1. The handheld part 2 is used by an operator to hold and grip the gimbal. The handheld part 2 is located at the bottom of the gimbal assembly 1, and the gimbal assembly 1 is lifted by the handheld part 2.

[0042] The handheld part 2 can be part of a component of the gimbal assembly, or it can be a separate component independent of the gimbal assembly. Specifically, the handheld part 2 can be a control handle. Furthermore, the control handle is equipped with various control buttons for convenient operation by the operator during handling.

[0043] The handheld part 2 may also be provided with an anti-slip part to prevent the handheld gimbal from slipping out of the user's hand. The anti-slip part may be a friction part or a groove or protrusion provided on the handheld part 2 to facilitate finger grip. It is understood that the handheld part 2 may also be provided with a finger ring or wristband or other protective device that can be worn on the user's fingers or wrist to further prevent the handheld gimbal from slipping out of the user's hand.

[0044] It is understandable that in practical applications, the gimbal assembly can also be supported by support components other than the handheld part to suit different scenarios, such as vehicle-mounted scenarios, ground-mounted film and television shooting, or aerial shooting. The specific shape, size, and structure of the support components can be designed according to actual needs, and no specific limitations are made here.

[0045] The gimbal assembly 1 supports the imaging device 3 and maintains its balance. By moving the gimbal assembly 1, the imaging device 3 can be moved, stabilizing it or adjusting its orientation angle. For example, during the movement of the imaging device 3, the gimbal assembly 1 can reduce or eliminate shaking, stabilizing the device to ensure better shooting results. Alternatively, by adjusting the position of the imaging device 3, its orientation angle can be changed, resulting in images with different orientation angles.

[0046] Furthermore, the imaging device 3 can be a smart terminal with shooting functions such as a camera, mobile phone, or camcorder; the specific type of imaging device 3 is not limited here. The imaging device 3 can be fixedly installed on the gimbal assembly 1 by clamping and / or magnetic attraction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the imaging device 3 is installed on the gimbal assembly 1 by a quick-release plate.

[0047] The gimbal assembly 1 includes a first drive component 101 and a first bracket 102 for mounting the imaging device 3, and also includes a second drive component 103 and a second bracket 104, or may further include a third drive component 105 and a third bracket 106. The first drive component 101, the second drive component, and the third drive component 105 can be a rotary motor or a stepper motor, with the appropriate type of motor selected according to different adjustment dimensions.

[0048] The gimbal assembly 1 may further include an attitude sensor, which is used to acquire the attitude of the imaging device 3. This attitude sensor can detect changes in the spatial position of the imaging device 3, allowing the corresponding drive components to control the rotation of the corresponding support based on the attitude of the imaging device 3 acquired by the attitude sensor, thereby stabilizing the imaging device 3. The attitude sensor may include motion sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, and electronic compasses. The attitude sensor can be located on the first support 102 or the imaging device 3; the specific location can be set as needed and is not specifically limited here.

[0049] The first support 102 and the first drive component 101 can be applied to single-axis gimbals and multi-axis gimbals, including two-axis gimbals and three-axis gimbals. Furthermore, the gimbal assembly can be an orthogonal gimbal or a non-orthogonal gimbal. Specifically, in this embodiment, the gimbal assembly is a non-orthogonal gimbal, and the handheld gimbal is a three-axis gimbal. The handheld gimbal is configured to rotate about the pitch axis, roll axis, or yaw axis. Its pitch axis, roll axis, or yaw axis is defined with reference to a geodetic coordinate system.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, when the handheld part 2 (e.g., a control handle) of the gimbal assembly is perpendicular to the ground, the rotation axis of the first drive member 101 of the gimbal assembly is the pitch axis, the rotation axis of the second drive member 103 is the roll axis, and the rotation axis of the third drive member 105 is the yaw axis. The pitch axis can also be referred to as the P (pitch) axis, the roll axis as the R (roll) axis, and the yaw axis as the Y (yaw) axis.

[0051] Specifically, the first driving component 101 is a rotary motor. The rotor of the first driving component 101 is connected to the first shaft arm. When the first driving component 101 is working, the rotor of the first driving component 101 rotates, thereby driving the first support 102 to rotate around the rotation axis P of the first driving component 101. The first driving component 101 can adjust the pitch angle of the imaging device 3.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the second support 104 is connected to the first driving member 101, and the other end of the second support 104 is connected to the second driving member 103. Furthermore, the second driving member 103 can drive the second support 104 to rotate. Specifically, the rotor of the second driving member 103 is connected to the second support 104, and when the second driving member 103 is working, it drives the second support 104 to rotate around the rotation axis R of the second driving member 103. The second driving member 103 can adjust the roll angle of the imaging device, thereby stabilizing the imaging device in a second direction, that is, stabilizing the imaging device in the roll axis direction.

[0053] One end of the third support 106 is connected to the second drive member 103, and the other end of the third support 106 is connected to the third drive member 105. The third drive member 105 can drive the third support 106 to rotate. Specifically, the third drive member 105 drives the third support 106 to rotate around the rotation axis Y of the third drive member 105. This adjusts the heading angle of the imaging device. The third drive member 105 stabilizes the imaging device in the third direction, that is, it stabilizes the imaging device in the yaw axis direction.

[0054] The first bracket 102, the second bracket 104, and the third bracket 106 are connected, thereby enabling stabilization and adjustment in three dimensions. The arrangement of the first drive component 101 and the first bracket 102, the second drive component 103 and the second bracket 104, and the third drive component 105 and the third bracket 106 allows the imaging device mounted on the handheld gimbal to change more postures, such as changing the shooting height, tilt angle, and / or direction of the imaging device, thus improving the user experience.

[0055] The first driving element 101 can drive the first support 102 to rotate, thereby stabilizing the imaging device 3 in a first direction. The first direction can be the pitch axis (P-axis) direction.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3Specifically, in the gimbal assembly of this embodiment, the first support includes a first axis arm 11, a second axis arm 12, and an adjustment structure 13. The first axis arm 11 is used to drive the connection to the first drive member 101 and is connected to the second axis arm 12 through the adjustment structure 13. The adjustment structure 13 can adjust the angle between the second axis arm 12 and the first axis arm 11, so that the imaging device 3 can capture images at different orientation angles. The orientation angle is the angle between the horizontal direction and the horizontal or vertical direction of the imaging device 3. Since the width of the photosensitive element inside the imaging device 3 is different from its height, the imaging device 3 can include a horizontal shooting orientation angle (in this case, the imaging device 3 is basically placed horizontally, such as...). Figure 2 ), the orientation angle for vertical shooting (at this time, the imaging device is basically placed vertically, such as Figure 3 Or any orientation angle.

[0057] The length direction of the first axis arm 11 can be vertical. The imaging device 3 is placed on the second axis arm 12. By adjusting the angle between the first axis arm 11 and the second axis arm 12, the orientation angle of the imaging device 3 can be adjusted. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the second axis arm 12 is substantially perpendicular to the first axis arm 11, please refer to... Figure 2 When the imaging device 3 is placed horizontally on the second axis arm 12, it takes images in a horizontal orientation. Horizontal shooting can show a wider range of subjects.

[0058] When the second arm 12 rotates, the imaging device 3 rotates accordingly. When the second arm 12 rotates to be parallel to the first arm 11, please refer to [link to previous text]. Figure 3 When the imaging device 3 is placed horizontally on the second axis arm 12, it takes images in a vertical orientation, i.e., vertical shooting. Vertical shooting can make the subject appear taller.

[0059] The first arm 11 and the second arm 12 can be set at other angles, so that the imaging device 3 can take pictures at more orientation angles.

[0060] In traditional gimbal assemblies, users typically need to detach the imaging device 3 from the gimbal assembly, adjust its installation direction, and then re-secure it. This process often involves complex operations such as leveling, impacting the gimbal's shooting efficiency. Alternatively, in traditional gimbal assemblies, the imaging device 3 is mounted on a complex folding bracket with multiple locking mechanisms to switch between horizontal and vertical shooting modes. This results in a complex structure and significant size and weight for the entire gimbal assembly.

[0061] The gimbal assembly in this embodiment can adjust the angle between the first arm 11 and the second arm 12 by adjusting the structure 13, thereby adjusting the orientation angle of the imaging device 3, which is convenient and quick to operate. Furthermore, since there is no need to disassemble the imaging device 3, the leveling steps can be reduced, thus improving shooting efficiency.

[0062] The adjustment structure 13 allows for adjustment of the connection between the first shaft arm 11 and the second shaft arm 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment structure 13 can be a single-piece structure. The adjustment structure 13 can be a metal casting, a plastic part with high hardness, etc.

[0063] The adjustment structure 13 is movably mounted on the first axis arm 11. The second axis arm 12 can move along the length of the first axis arm 11 through the adjustment structure 13 to adjust the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly, so that the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly is balanced, i.e., leveled.

[0064] Please see Figure 4 The first axis arm 11 is elongated. The first axis arm 11 can be made of metal to enhance its strength. One end of the first axis arm 11 is used to connect to the first drive member 101. The first drive member 101 drives the second axis arm 12, the adjustment structure 13 and the imaging device 3 to rotate by driving the first axis arm 11.

[0065] The first shaft arm 11 has a rounded end 111 at one end for connecting to the first drive member 101. The other end of the first shaft arm 11 is a square end 112.

[0066] The second arm 12 is used to mount the imaging device 3. The second arm 12 can be made of metal to enhance its strength.

[0067] The gimbal assembly also includes a mounting plate 14 for mounting the imaging device 3. The mounting plate 14 is movably mounted on the second arm 12. The mounting plate 14 is movable along a direction perpendicular to the length of the second arm 12 to adjust the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly relative to the length extension direction of the mounting plate 14. For ease of explanation, the length extension direction of the first arm 11 is defined as the Z-axis direction. The extension direction of the second arm 12 is defined as the X-axis direction, and the length extension direction of the mounting plate 14 is defined as the Y-axis direction.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting plate 14 is used to fix the camera. The camera is connected to the adjustment structure 13 via the camera mounting plate 14. Typically, the camera includes a body 31 and a lens 32 connected to each other. The body 31 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 14. The body 31 is fixedly disposed at one end of the mounting plate 14; the lens 32 is correspondingly located at the other end of the mounting plate 14.

[0069] Mounting plate 14 can be a quick-release plate to facilitate quick mounting of the camera onto the second axis arm 12. The second axis arm 12 has a fifth slot 121, the shape of which matches and engages with the shape of the mounting plate 14. Furthermore, the fifth slot 121 can be a dovetail groove to improve the stability of the connection between the second axis arm 12 and the mounting plate 14.

[0070] The mounting plate 14 can move within the fifth slot 121 to adjust the position of the mounting plate 14 relative to the second axis arm 12, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly in the length extension direction of the mounting plate 14. The fifth slot 121 extends along the Y-axis direction to achieve the leveling of the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly in the Y-axis direction.

[0071] Furthermore, an anti-slip surface 141 is provided at the contact point between the mounting plate 14 and the imaging device 3. This anti-slip surface 141 can be a textured structure formed on the surface of the mounting plate 14, or it can be an anti-slip layer provided on the surface of the mounting plate 14, so as to ensure a stable connection between the mounting plate 14 and the imaging device 3.

[0072] The mounting plate 14 has an adjustment track 142, and a fastener 143 for connecting to the imaging device 3 passes through the adjustment track 142. The fastener 143 is slidably disposed within the adjustment track 142. Specifically, the adjustment track 142 can be an elongated through groove. The fastener 143 can be a fastening bolt. By tightening or loosening the fastening bolt, the fastening bolt can move within the elongated through groove, allowing the camera to be adjusted into position and securely fixed.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjusting structure 13 is detachably disposed at one end of the first shaft arm 11. The detachable connection between the adjusting structure 13 and the first shaft arm 11 can take various forms, such as a snap-fit ​​connection, a bolt connection, etc. Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the first shaft arm 11 is snap-fitted to the adjusting structure 13. This snap-fit ​​connection method is simple in structure and convenient to operate.

[0074] The adjustment structure 13 may include a connector 130 and a first locking member 131. The connector 130 is the main body of the adjustment structure 13 and is generally rectangular. The connector 130 has a first slot 1301. A first shaft arm 11 engages in the first slot 1301. The first shaft arm 11 is slidably disposed in the first slot 1301. The square end 112 of the first shaft arm 11 is adapted to the shape of the first slot 1301.

[0075] The first slot 1301 can be a dovetail groove, and the first shaft arm 11 is provided with a dovetail-shaped retaining protrusion 113. Furthermore, the diameter of the first slot 1301 gradually decreases from its bottom towards the opening. The cross-sectional shape of the retaining protrusion 113 is trapezoidal, and the two opposite outer sidewalls 114 of the first shaft arm 11 are inclined surfaces. Therefore, the first shaft arm 11 can only be inserted into the first slot 1301 from above, preventing the first shaft arm 11 from sliding out from one side of the first slot 1301.

[0076] The square end 112 of the first shaft arm 11 passes downward into the first slot 1301 from above, forming a locking connection with the first slot 1301. Furthermore, the round end 111 of the first shaft arm 11 is larger than the shape of the first slot 1301, so the round end 111 of the first shaft arm 11 will not pass through the first slot 1301, thus separating the first shaft arm 11 from the first slot 1301.

[0077] The first locking member 131, located on one side of the first slot 1301, confines the first shaft arm 11 within the first slot 1301. The first locking member 131 includes a first rotating column 1311 and a first rotating head 1312. The first rotating head 1312 is used to drive the first rotating column 1311 to rotate. The first rotating head 1312 is convenient for the operator to rotate and hold, thereby driving the first rotating column 1311 to rotate. In one embodiment, the free end of the first rotating column 1311 can pass through the first slot 1301 and abut against the outer wall of the first shaft arm 11, thereby stably confining the first shaft arm 11 within the first slot 1301.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjusting structure 13 further includes a first pressing block 132. The first pressing block 132 is connected to the free end of the first locking member 131. A first through hole is provided on one side wall of the first slot 1301. The first pressing block 132 presses and limits the first shaft arm 11 on one side face of the first shaft arm 11 through the first through hole. When the first locking member 131 is rotated, the first pressing block 132 can move closer to or further away from the first shaft arm 11, thereby locking the first shaft arm 11 and the first slot 1301 together through the first locking member 131 and the first pressing block 132.

[0079] Please also refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, the first clamping block 132 includes a first connecting arm 1321 and a first limiting arm 1322. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first clamping block 132 is generally L-shaped, and the first connecting arm 1321 and the first limiting arm 1322 are arranged perpendicularly to each other. The first connecting arm 1321 is screwed onto the first rotating column 1311 of the first locking member 131.

[0080] The first limiting arm 1322 passes through the first through hole. The first connecting arm 1321 can move axially along the first rotating column 1311, so that the free end face of the first limiting arm 1322 approaches or moves away from the first shaft arm 11. The free end face of the first limiting arm 1322 can press against the side of the first shaft arm 11.

[0081] The free end face of the first limiting arm 1322 can engage and abut against the side surface of the first shaft arm 11. Specifically, if the side surface of the first shaft arm 11 is a slope, then the free end face of the first limiting arm 1322 is also a slope. It can be understood that the side surface of the first shaft arm 11 can also be an outer surface of other shapes, such as an arc surface, then the free end face of the first limiting arm 1322 is an arc surface that matches it, so as to form a clamping abutment.

[0082] The first axis arm 11 can slide within the first slot 1301, allowing adjustment of the gimbal assembly's center of gravity position in the Z-axis direction. Once the gimbal assembly's center of gravity is leveled, the first locking member 131 and the first pressing block 132 fix the position of the first axis arm 11, ensuring the gimbal assembly's center of gravity is leveled. Furthermore, the first axis arm 11 is elongated to accommodate a wider range of center of gravity leveling requirements.

[0083] It should be noted that leveling refers to adjusting the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly and the corresponding part of the load in the corresponding direction so that the center of gravity of the corresponding part can fall on the preset axis. This avoids the need for the corresponding drive components to output torque to overcome gravity and reduces the heat generated by the drive components. The preset axis can include the pitch axis, roll axis, and yaw axis.

[0084] In other embodiments, the position between the first axis arm 11 and the adjustment structure 13 can also be fixed, and their relative position cannot be adjusted. The first axis arm 11 can be directly fixedly connected to the adjustment structure 13 by means of screwing or welding. For the leveling of the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly, leveling can also be achieved by other structures. For example, the imaging device 3 can be raised or lowered by adjusting the position of the first axis arm 11 relative to the first drive member 101 in the Z-axis direction.

[0085] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 The adjusting structure 13 includes a rotating shaft 133 and a second locking member 134. The rotating end 122 of the second shaft arm 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 130 via the rotating shaft 133. The second locking member 134 is used to lock the second shaft arm 12 to the connecting member 130 to limit the rotation of the second shaft arm 12.

[0086] Please see Figure 6The rotating shaft 133 and the second locking member 134 are located on both sides of the rotating end 122. The rotating end 122 of the second shaft arm 12 includes a front side 1221 and a rear side 1222. The side of the rotating end 122 of the second shaft arm 12 closest to the rotating shaft 133 is the front side, and the side of the rotating end 122 of the second shaft arm 12 closest to the second locking member 134 is the rear side 1222. The front side 1221 of the second shaft arm 12 is rotatably connected to the adjusting structure 13 via the rotating shaft 133, and the rear side 1222 of the second shaft arm 12 is locked to the connecting member 130 via the second locking member 134.

[0087] In other embodiments, the second shaft arm 12 can also be rotatably connected to the connector 130 directly via the rotating shaft 133. For example, the rotating shaft 133 and the second shaft arm 12 can be connected by an interference fit or a screw fit so that the position of the second shaft arm 12 can be locked after it has been rotated into place.

[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, the front side 1221 of the second shaft arm 12 is provided with a shaft hole, and the rotating shaft 133 is rotatably connected to the shaft hole. The rear side 1222 of the second shaft arm 12 is also provided with a connecting hole 123 through which the second locking member 134 can pass. The second locking member 134 is locked to the rotating end 122 through the connecting hole 123.

[0089] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 The connector 130 has a second slot 1302. The second slot 1302 is positioned opposite to the first slot 1301, and is located on two sides of the connector 130. The second slot 1302 is used to receive the rotating end 122 of the second shaft arm 12. The rotating end 122 of the second shaft arm 12 can be rotatably received within the second slot 1302. Alternatively, the second slot 1302 can be omitted, and the connector 130 can have two connecting protrusions, with the two sides of the second shaft arm 12 connected via the two connecting protrusions respectively.

[0090] Please also refer to Figure 6 The free end of the rotating shaft 133 passes through the second slot 1302 and is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating end 122. The free end of the second locking member 134 passes through the second slot 1302 and is housed in the connecting hole 123 of the rotating end 122.

[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second locking member 134 includes a second rotating post 1341 and a second rotating head 1342 disposed at one end of the second rotating post 1341. The second rotating post 1341 is rotatably mounted on the connecting member 130, and the second rotating post 1341 is limited in its axial direction. The second rotating head 1342 is located on the outside of the connecting member 130, facilitating the rotation of the second rotating post 1341 and making operation convenient. When the second rotating post 1341 rotates, the relative position between the second rotating post 1341 and the connecting member 130 remains unchanged.

[0092] The free end of the second rotating column 1341 passes through the connector 130 and connects to the rotating end 122 located in the second slot 1302. The free end of the second rotating column 1341 is threaded, and the connector 130 is provided with a corresponding connecting hole 123. The connecting hole 123 is threaded internally, and the free end of the second rotating column 1341 is threaded externally. The second locking member 134 and the second shaft arm 12 are connected to each other via the internal thread of the connecting hole 123.

[0093] When the second rotating column 1341 rotates, it causes relative movement between the second rotating column 1341 and the rotating end 122 of the second shaft arm 12. Rotating the second locking member 134 can drive the rotating end 122 to approach the inner wall of the second slot 1302, so that the rotating end 122 and the inner wall of the second slot 1302 are pressed and held together.

[0094] By rotating the second rotating head 1342 to rotate the second rotating column 1341, the second shaft arm 12 can be moved closer to or further away from the inner wall of the second slot 1302 along the axial direction of the second rotating column 1341, thereby locking the rotation angle of the second shaft arm 12 relative to the connector 130, that is, locking the included angle between the second shaft arm 12 and the first shaft arm 11.

[0095] Specifically, in this embodiment, a limiting part 15 is provided between the side of the second shaft arm 12 and the inner sidewall of the second slot 1302. The limiting part 15 is used to limit the rotation between the second shaft arm 12 and the connecting member 130. The multiple limiting parts 15 are in a ring shape and are evenly distributed.

[0096] The limiting part 15 includes a plurality of mutually cooperating protrusions 151 and receiving grooves 152. The protrusions 151 can be received in different receiving grooves 152, so that the second shaft arm 12 can rotate around the rotating shaft 133 at different angles. The plurality of protrusions 151 and receiving grooves 152 are annular and evenly distributed. The shape of the protrusions 151 can be a protrusion, a boss, or a rib, etc.

[0097] Specifically, the second shaft arm 12 has multiple protrusions 151 on one side away from the rotating shaft 133, and multiple receiving slots 152 are formed on the inner wall of the second slot 1302. The second rotating column 1341 can drive the protrusions 151 to move closer to or away from the receiving slots 152 to adjust the rotation of the protrusions 151 relative to the receiving slots 152. Alternatively, the protrusions 151 can also be provided on the inner wall of the second slot 1302, and the multiple receiving slots 152 can be formed on the side of the second shaft arm 12, as long as the protrusions 151 and the receiving slots 152 can be engaged and limited.

[0098] Furthermore, the number of protrusions 151 and receiving slots 152 may be the same or different. In one embodiment, one protrusion 151 may correspond to multiple receiving slots 152, or multiple protrusions 151 may correspond to one receiving slot 152. Alternatively, the number of protrusions 151 and receiving slots 152 may be the same.

[0099] The engagement of multiple protrusions 151 and multiple receiving slots 152 creates multiple angles between the second shaft arm 12 and the connecting member 130. These multiple angles can correspond to multiple preset angles. First, rotating the second locking member 134 separates the protrusions 151 from the receiving slots 152, causing the second shaft arm 12 to rotate relative to the connecting member 130, and the protrusions 151 to rotate relative to the receiving slots 152. When the second shaft arm 12 rotates to the preset angle relative to the connecting member 130, the second locking member 134 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the protrusions 151 to engage and lock with the receiving slots 152. At this time, the second shaft arm 12 and the first shaft arm 11 are at the preset angle, allowing the imaging device to be oriented at this preset angle. Thus, the imaging device can be oriented at multiple different angles, and the adjustment operation is relatively convenient.

[0100] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second arm 12 is provided with four protrusions 151, and the inner wall of the second slot 1302 is provided with four receiving slots 152. The four protrusions 151 and the four receiving slots 152 are evenly distributed. The preset angle between the second arm 12 and the first arm 11 can be 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees, or 360 degrees. When the preset angle between the second arm 12 and the first arm 11 is 90 degrees, the imaging device 3 performs horizontal imaging; when the preset angle between the second arm 12 and the first arm 11 is 180 degrees, the imaging device 3 performs vertical imaging.

[0101] In other embodiments, the number of protrusions 151 and second slots 152 can be eight, and the preset angle between the second shaft arm 12 and the first shaft arm 11 can be 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees, 180 degrees, etc. The number of protrusions 151 and second slots 152 is not limited here; the number and distribution of protrusions 151 and second slots 152 are designed according to the distribution of the preset angle.

[0102] In other embodiments, the limiting part 15 may be omitted. The second shaft arm 12 and the connecting member 130 are clamped together for limiting the connection. The included angle between the first shaft arm 11 and the second shaft arm 12 can be continuously adjusted.

[0103] In the second embodiment, the second slot 1302 of the connector 130 can be omitted. The second shaft arm 12 is detachably connected to the connector 130. The first shaft arm 11 is located on one side of the adjustment structure 13, and the second shaft arm 12 is detachably located on the other side of the adjustment structure 13.

[0104] Please see Figure 7 The second shaft arm 12 is provided with multiple connecting parts 124. Different connecting parts 124 can be detachably connected to the adjusting structure 13 to change the included angle between the second shaft arm 12 and the first shaft arm 11. The adjusting structure 13 and the connecting parts 124 can be detachably connected by bolts, clips, etc.

[0105] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting part 124 and the adjusting structure 13 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​connection. A snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the connecting part 124 and the adjusting structure 13. The snap-fit ​​structure includes a third slot 1303 and a locking platform, with the locking platform engaging within the third slot 1303.

[0106] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting member 130 of the adjusting structure 13 has a third slot 1303. The connecting part 124 has a locking platform. The third slot 1303 and the first slot 1301 are positioned opposite each other and are located on two opposite sides of the connecting member 130.

[0107] The third slot 1303 is a dovetail groove. The shape of the mounting platform is adapted to the third slot 1303. The mounting platform 124 and the third slot 1303 cooperate to hold the second shaft arm 12 and the connector 130, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection.

[0108] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two connecting parts 124. The two connecting parts 124 are respectively located at both ends of the second shaft arm 12. One end of the second shaft arm 12 is provided with a first mounting plate 1241. The other end of the second shaft arm 12 is provided with a second mounting plate 1242. The upper surface of the second shaft arm 12 is used to mount the imaging device 3, and a fifth mounting slot 121 is formed on the upper surface of the second shaft arm 12. The second mounting plate 1242 is located on the lower surface of the second shaft arm 12 to avoid interference with the fifth mounting slot 121.

[0109] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9The first locking platform 1241 protrudes outward along the length of the second shaft arm 12. The first locking surface 1243 of the first locking platform 1241 is used to lock with the third locking slot 1303. The first locking surface 1243 can be multiple sides of the first locking platform 1241. The first locking surface 1243 is partially annular. Specifically, in this embodiment, if the third locking slot 1303 is a dovetail groove, then the shape of the first locking surface 1243 is dovetail-shaped, and the opposite two sides of the first locking surface 1243 are inclined surfaces.

[0110] The first holding surface 1243 extends axially along the first holding platform 1241. The first holding surface 1243 is perpendicular to the upper and lower surfaces of the second shaft arm 12. Therefore, when the first holding platform 1241 is held in the third holding slot 1303, the second shaft arm 12 is perpendicular to the first shaft arm 11.

[0111] When the first card slot 1241 and the third card slot 1303 are engaged, the imaging device 3 is placed horizontally on the second axis arm 12, which is perpendicular to the first axis arm 11. The imaging device 3 captures images in a horizontal orientation.

[0112] Please also refer to Figure 10 The second locking platform 1242 protrudes from the lower surface of the second shaft arm 12 toward the upper surface. The second locking surface 1244 of the second locking platform 1242 is used to lock with the third locking slot 1303. The second locking surface 1244 also forms multiple sides of the second locking platform 1242. The second locking surface 1244 is partially annular. Specifically, in this embodiment, the third locking slot 1303 is a dovetail groove, therefore the shape of the second locking surface 1244 is dovetail-shaped, and the opposite two sides of the second locking surface 1244 are inclined surfaces.

[0113] The second holding surface 1244 extends axially along the second holding platform 1242. The extending direction of the second holding surface 1244 is the angle between the second shaft arm 12 and the first shaft arm 11. The extending direction of the first holding surface 1243 is set at an angle to the extending direction of the second holding surface 1244. Therefore, when the second holding platform 1242 is engaged with the third slot 1303, the second shaft arm 12 and the first shaft arm 11 are set at an angle.

[0114] Specifically, in this embodiment, the extending direction of the first retaining surface 1243 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the second retaining surface 1244. Please also refer to... Figure 11 When the second card slot 1242 engages with the third card slot 1303, the second shaft arm 12 is parallel to the first shaft arm 11, and the imaging device 3 captures images in a vertical orientation.

[0115] Furthermore, the adjusting structure 13 includes a third locking member 135. The third locking member 135 is used to lock the second shaft arm 12 into the third slot 1303. The third locking member 135 is disposed on one side of the third slot 1303. The third locking member 135 is capable of confining the second shaft arm 12 within the third slot 1303 from one side of the third slot 1303.

[0116] Please see Figure 12 The third locking element 135 includes a third rotating column 1351 and a third rotating head 1352. The third rotating head 1352 can drive the third rotating column 1351 to rotate, which facilitates operation.

[0117] The adjustment structure 13 also includes a third clamping block 136. The third clamping block 136 can pass through the third through hole to clamp and limit the first card table 1241 or the second card table 1242.

[0118] The third clamping block 136 includes a third connecting arm 1361 and a third limiting arm 1362. The third connecting arm 1361 is screwed to the third rotating column 1351. A third through hole is provided on one side wall of the third slot 1303. The third limiting arm 1362 passes through the third through hole, and the free end face of the third limiting arm 1362 presses against the side of the second shaft arm 12.

[0119] The third connecting arm 1361 moves axially along the third rotating column 1351, causing the free end face of the third limiting arm 1362 to approach or move away from the second shaft arm 12. The free end face of the third limiting arm 1362 can engage and abut against the side of the second shaft arm 12. Specifically, the free end face of the third limiting arm 1362 is pressed and limited against the inclined surface of the first clamping table 1241 or the second clamping table 1242. Specifically, the free end face of the third limiting arm 1362 can be an inclined surface to maintain clamping with the first clamping table 1241 or the second clamping table 1242.

[0120] It is understood that the side of the first shaft arm 11 can also be an outer surface of other shapes, such as an arc surface, and the free end face of the first limiting arm 1322 is an arc surface that is adapted to it, so as to form a clamping and supporting.

[0121] In the third embodiment, the adjusting structure 13 has a fourth slot 137, and the mounting plate 14 can be engaged in the fourth slot 137. The fourth slot 137 in the third embodiment is roughly the same as the third slot 1303 in the second embodiment, the main difference being that the fourth slot 137 can be directly engaged with the mounting plate 14.

[0122] Specifically, the fourth slot 137 is a dovetail groove. The shape of the mounting plate 14 is adapted to the fourth slot 137. Similarly, the third locking member 135 and the third pressing block 136 can press and lock the mounting plate 14 in the fourth slot 137 to ensure that the mounting plate 14 is securely installed.

[0123] Mounting plate 14 is detachably mounted on second arm 12. When mounting plate 14 is mounted on second arm 12, one end of second arm 12 is engaged in fourth slot 137. Second arm 12 is perpendicular to first arm 11, and imaging device 3 captures images in a lateral orientation.

[0124] When the mounting plate 14 is removed from the second shaft arm 12, and the second shaft arm 12 is removed from the adjustment structure 13, the mounting plate 14 can be directly engaged in the fourth slot 137. By rotating and adjusting the connection direction of the imaging device 3 with the mounting plate 14, the mounting plate 14 becomes parallel to the first shaft arm 11, and the imaging device 3 captures images in a vertical orientation.

[0125] In the aforementioned handheld gimbal, the gimbal assembly adjusts the orientation angle of the imaging device 3 by changing the angle between the second arm 12 and the first arm 11. The second arm 12 can rotate relative to the first arm 11 to adjust the angle between them. The second arm 12 can also be detached and connected to the first arm 11 to set different angles. Therefore, the aforementioned gimbal assembly has a simple structure and reliable operation.

[0126] Furthermore, when the angle between the second axis arm 12 and the first axis arm 11 is switched, the gimbal assembly in the front-to-back direction (e.g., Figure 2 As shown in the Y-axis direction, it is still in a state of center of gravity leveling, so there is no need to readjust the gimbal components in the front and back directions, simplifying the operation.

[0127] Although this application has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is illustrative and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since this application can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
