DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0037] Many electronic devices need to capture images when they are in use. For example, when students use a learning tablet, they need to use a camera to scan the contents of a book on the desktop for learning. In the related art, a camera with adjustable shooting angle is generally integrated into electronic devices such as learning tablets. The camera of such electronic devices can only be limited to shooting at a certain angle and cannot adapt to a variety of application scenarios. For some electronic devices with fixed built-in cameras, the electronic devices cannot meet a variety of shooting needs.

[0038] In particular, with the popularity of online classes in the field of learning, especially in the field of children's tablet learning, the demand for intelligent photography learning has become more and more rigid, and the cameras in the current smart learning tablets on the market are only limited to users scanning questions and taking photos at a certain angle, resulting in the existing camera scanning and taking photos function can no longer meet the needs of users. For example, the position of the built-in camera of the existing tablet is generally fixed, and its shooting range cannot be changed by rotation, resulting in the tablet's built-in camera being unable to achieve photography and scanning questions at any angle; or, most children have limited vertical space on their desktops. When the book and the tablet are not on the same vertical line (for example, the book is in the middle and the tablet is diagonally above), the tablet's camera cannot achieve scanning and taking photos at irregular angles; or, when the child's vertical desktop space is expanded, the tablet camera that can scan questions often has a certain shooting angle, which cannot achieve any larger and wider range of desktop photography, and also cannot achieve scanning and taking photos at irregular angles (for example, when the book is in the middle and the tablet is diagonally above); in addition, the built-in camera of the existing tablet cannot achieve simultaneous scene shooting in which the camera can both take photos of people and track scanning and taking photos of the desktop.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 11An embodiment of the present invention provides a pan-tilt bracket, including a support frame 100, a hanger 200, a pan-tilt module 300 and an image acquisition module 400; the support frame 100 includes a device support surface 111; the hanger 200 is arranged on the support frame 100; the pan-tilt module 300 is suspended on the hanger 200 and is connected to the hanger 200 for rotation around the Z axis; the image acquisition module 400 is connected to the pan-tilt module 300 for rotation around the X axis, and the image acquisition module 400 is located on the front side of the device support surface 111.

[0040] For the convenience of description, this specification takes the support frame 100 in the pan / tilt bracket as an example for supporting an electronic device to explain the pan / tilt bracket, that is, the pan / tilt bracket is an electronic device bracket, and the pan / tilt bracket is placed on a desktop or other location when in use. In other embodiments, the pan / tilt bracket can also be a fixed design that is integrated with the electronic device, that is, the support frame 100 of the pan / tilt bracket is an integrated structure with the housing of the electronic device, and the pan / tilt bracket is integrated with the electronic device when in use.

[0041] It should be noted that the support frame 100 is used to support and fix electronic devices such as tablet computers, mobile phones, cameras, MP3, MP4 and computers. The image acquisition module 400 is any element that can perform image acquisition, such as a camera, an infrared imager, a scanner, etc. The device support surface 111 can be an installation position for the electronic device to be installed on the support frame 100. A magnet can be provided inside the device support surface 111 so that the electronic device can be fixed on the device support surface 111. At the same time, for the convenience of description, when the present invention describes the "front side" and "rear side" of a certain component, it means that when a user stands in front of the screen of the electronic device to view the displayed content, or performs touch and writing operations on the display device, the side of the component facing the user is the front side of the component, and the side facing away from the user is the rear side of the component. In one embodiment, the X-axis, the Y-axis and the Z-axis are perpendicular to each other, please refer to Figure 1 The Y-axis direction may be the front-to-back direction of the device support surface 111 , the X-axis direction may be the left-to-right direction of the device support surface 111 , and the Z-axis direction may be the up-and-down direction of the device support surface 111 .

[0042] In other embodiments, the X-axis and the Y-axis may not be perpendicular, the Z-axis and the X-axis may not be perpendicular, and the Z-axis and the Y-axis may not be perpendicular. The X-axis direction is not limited to the left and right direction of the device support surface 111, the Y-axis direction is not limited to the front and back direction of the device support surface 111, and the Z-axis direction is not limited to the up and down direction of the device support surface 111.

[0043] The present invention provides a pan / tilt bracket, wherein a hanger 200 is arranged on a support frame 100, a pan / tilt module 300 is arranged on the hanger 200, and an image acquisition module 400 is arranged on the pan / tilt module 300. The image acquisition module 400 can be used as an external image acquisition module 400 of an electronic device, and can meet a wider range of shooting requirements when the electronic device is used. In addition, the pan / tilt bracket drives the image acquisition module 400 to rotate around a Z axis through the pan / tilt module 300, so as to facilitate adjustment of the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 400 from a first rotation direction. The image acquisition module 400 can also be rotated around an X axis, so as to facilitate adjustment of the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 400 from a second rotation direction. Furthermore, the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 400 can be adjusted in two rotation directions according to requirements, thereby effectively expanding the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 400 to meet various shooting requirements of the electronic device.

[0044] In addition, the inventors also found that when the image acquisition module 400 shoots from top to bottom, part of the field of view of the image acquisition module 400 will be blocked by the support frame 100 or the electronic device, resulting in the image acquisition module 400 The shooting range is limited, especially the content near the edge of the support frame 100 is not easy to capture clearly. The present invention uses the gimbal module 300 to suspend the image acquisition module 400 on the hanger 200, and the image acquisition module 400 is located on the front side of the device support surface 111 of the support frame 100. The distance between the image acquisition module 400 and the support frame 100 can be appropriately increased, which is conducive to avoiding the interference of the support frame 100 or the electronic device on the image acquisition module 400, thereby increasing the image acquisition module 400 The shooting range of the desktop, and the hanger 200 located above can also play a certain protective role for the gimbal module 300 and the image acquisition module 400, which can effectively reduce, for example, when the user accidentally hits the gimbal bracket and similar scenarios. Damage to the image acquisition module 400 caused.

[0045] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the image acquisition module 400 is located on the front side of the upper edge of the device support surface 111, and on the front side of the lower edge of the device support surface 111, so as to effectively expand the photographing range of the image acquisition module 400; in other embodiments, the image acquisition module 400 may also be located on the front side of the upper edge of the device support surface 111, and the partial photographing range of the image acquisition module 400 may also be expanded.

[0046] See also Figure 3 as well as Figure 4, and further includes a protective member 810, which is connected to the hanger 200; there are two protective members 810, which are respectively located on both sides of the pan-tilt module 300. The provision of the protective member 810 can effectively protect the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 provided on the pan-tilt module 300 from both sides. When the user accidentally collides with the bracket, the protective member 810 can replace the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 to receive external impact, which is conducive to reducing the damage to the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 when an external impact occurs.

[0047] It should be noted that as an optional implementation, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The hanger 200 includes a top plate extending along the Y-axis direction and a vertical plate connecting the top plate and the support frame 100. The protective member 810 can be set along the Z-axis direction. The protective member 810 is connected to the top plate through at least one bending portion. On the premise that a space needs to be left on the front side for the image acquisition module 400 to take pictures, the two protective members 810 located on the left and right sides of the gimbal module 300 and the vertical plate located on the rear side of the gimbal module 300 can maximize the protection of the gimbal module 300 and the image acquisition module 400.

[0048] In one embodiment, a lighting module 820 is further included, and the lighting module 820 is disposed on the protective member 810. The lighting module 820 can not only illuminate the display screen of the electronic device to assist the user in reading the display screen, but also provide supplementary lighting for the desktop, so that the image acquisition module 400 can better scan and take photos of the learning materials on the desktop.

[0049] As an optional implementation, both protective members 810 are provided with lighting modules 820, and the two lighting modules 820 are respectively provided on the sides of the two protective members 810 that are away from each other, that is, the two lighting modules 820 are respectively located on the two sides of the image acquisition module 400. The two lighting modules 820 have a better fill-in light effect, so that the area where the image acquisition module 400 scans and takes pictures is located in the overlapping part of the lighting areas of the two lighting modules 820, which is conducive to improving the scanning and taking pictures effect of the image acquisition module 400 in a dark environment.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figure 7 and Figure 8The support frame 100 includes a support body 110 and a protection frame 130. The protection frame 130 is connected to the support body 110. The equipment support surface 111 is provided on the support body. The hanger 200 is provided on the protection frame 130. The pan / tilt module 300 is located in the protection frame 130. The protection frame 130 can surround the periphery of the pan / tilt module 300. When the pan / tilt support is subjected to external impact, the protection frame 130 can contact the impact object before the pan / tilt module 300, and can block the impact object for the pan / tilt module 300, thereby preventing the pan / tilt module 300 from being directly impacted and damaged, thereby playing an effective protective role for the pan / tilt module 300.

[0051] As an optional implementation, please continue to refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The protection frame 130 includes a first protection member 131 and a second protection member 132. The first protection member 131 is connected to the support body 110 through the second protection member 132. There are two second protection members 132, which are respectively located on both sides of the pan-tilt module 300. The hanger 200 is connected to the first protection member 131, and the pan-tilt module 300 is located between the first protection member 131 and the support body 110. The first protection member 131 can be arranged along the X-axis direction, and the second protection member 132 can be arranged along the Z-axis direction. By surrounding the pan-tilt module 300 with the first protection member 131 and the second protection member 132, the pan-tilt module 300 can be protected from the top and the left and right sides. The first protection member 131 and the second protection member 132 can also serve as a connecting member between the hanger 200 and the support frame 100, so as to provide support for the hanger 200, the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400, so that the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 can be installed on the hanger 200 in a suspended manner.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 11 The pan-tilt bracket also includes a first driving member 500 and a second driving member 600; one end of the first driving member 500 is connected to the hanger 200, and the other end is connected to the pan-tilt module 300; the first driving member 500 can drive the pan-tilt module 300 to rotate relative to the hanger 200; one end of the second driving member 600 is connected to the pan-tilt module 300, and the other end is connected to the image acquisition module 400; the second driving member 600 can drive the image acquisition module 400 to rotate relative to the pan-tilt module 300. The first driving member 500 drives the pan-tilt module 300 to drive the image acquisition module 400 to rotate around the Z axis, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 400 from the first rotation direction, and the second driving member 600 can also drive the image acquisition module 400 to rotate around the X axis, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 400 from the second rotation direction, and then the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 400 can be adjusted in two rotation directions according to the needs, thereby effectively expanding the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 400 to meet the various shooting needs of the electronic device.

[0053] In one embodiment, see Figures 9 to 11 , and also includes a third driving member 700, one end of which is connected to the support frame 100, and the other end is connected to the hanger 200; the third driving member 700 can drive the hanger 200 to rotate around the Y axis relative to the support frame 100. The third driving member 700 is set up, and the first driving member 500, the second driving member 600 and the third driving member 700 can cooperate to realize the rotation of the image acquisition module 400 along the three axes, so as to adjust the photo-taking and video-recording direction of the image acquisition module 400 according to the needs, and can further expand the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 400 to meet the different photo-taking needs of customers in various scenes. At the same time, the rotatable image acquisition module 400 on the pan-tilt bracket can realize a larger and wider range of arbitrary angle tracking photography, and can realize special-shaped angle scanning photography, which solves the problem that users cannot take photos and scan questions because the book and the tablet are not on the same vertical line (for example, the book is in the middle and the tablet is diagonally above) due to the limited vertical space on the desktop.

[0054] It should be noted that the three-axis movement of the image acquisition module 400 is automatically sensed and then autonomously performed corresponding movement. When the Z axis is the up and down direction of the device support surface 111, the Y axis is the front and back direction of the device support surface 111, and the X axis is the left and right direction of the device support surface 111, when in use, please refer to Fig. 9 When the image acquisition module 400 is idle, it can be in Fig. 9 , at this time, the pan-tilt module 300 is parallel to the top of the support frame 100 as a whole. When the user needs to turn on the scanning or desktop shooting function, the second driving member 600 is started to drive the image acquisition module 400 to rotate around the X-axis until the shooting direction of the image acquisition module 400 is downward. The specific shooting tilt angle can be adjusted by the second driving member 600 driving the image acquisition module 400 to rotate, and then the first driving member 500 is started to drive the pan-tilt module 300 to drive the image acquisition module 400 to rotate around the Z-axis. At this time, the image acquisition module 400 can meet the scanning and shooting of the desktop within a certain angle range. When it is necessary to track the desktop, track handwriting, or scan and shoot at an irregular angle (for example, a book is in the middle, a tablet is When the image acquisition module 400 is at an angle upward), the image acquisition module 400 can be driven by the first driving member 500 to realize parallel desktop scanning and photographing at a certain angle to the left and right. The image acquisition module 400 can also rotate under the drive of the third driving member 700 to realize circular motion along the left and right directions to scan and photograph the desktop. With the cooperation of the first driving member 500, the second driving member 600 and the third driving member 700, it can satisfy the scanning and photographing movement of the image acquisition module 400 parallel to the desktop, and can also satisfy the rotational movement of the image acquisition module 400 according to the photographing scene, thereby meeting the user needs of the image acquisition module 400 to track the desktop, track handwriting or scan and photograph at special angles.

[0055] See also Fig. 9 At this time, the shooting direction of the image acquisition module 400 faces forward, which can meet the user's photography needs and can take horizontal screen photos of people. When the user needs to change the screen from horizontal to vertical to take full-body photos, after issuing corresponding instructions through the electronic device, the image acquisition module 400 will rotate the angle through the third driving member 700, thereby achieving full-body photography; in addition, Fig. 9 On the basis of the image acquisition module 400, driven by the second driving member 600, it can not only raise its head upward, but also nod downward. Similarly, the first driving member 500 and the third driving member 700 can also move in opposite directions. In addition to taking pictures of the desktop, scanning questions, and tracking handwriting, the movement of the image acquisition module 400 can also track and capture faces, keep faces in the center of the screen, and realize dual screens (both people and desktop) with the built-in front camera of the tablet, and can also change the screen from horizontal to vertical to take full-body photos or from vertical to horizontal to scan questions and take photos.

[0056] See also Figure 5 as well as Fig.11 The first driving member 500 includes a first main body and a first output part, the first output part can rotate relative to the first main body, the first main body is connected to the bracket 200, and the first output part is connected to the pan-tilt module 300; the second driving member 600 includes a second main body and a second output part, the second output part can rotate relative to the second main body, the second main body is connected to the pan-tilt module 300, and the second output part is connected to the image acquisition module 400; the third driving member 700 includes a third main body and a third output part, the third output part can rotate relative to the third main body, the third main body is connected to the support frame 100, and the third output part is connected to the bracket 200. That is, the first main body is fixedly arranged on the hanger 200, the first main body drives the first output part to drive the pan-tilt module 300 to rotate around the Z axis, and the image acquisition module 400 arranged on the pan-tilt module 300 will rotate around the Z axis with the pan-tilt module 300; the second main body is fixedly arranged on the pan-tilt module 300, the second main body drives the second output part to drive the image acquisition module 400 to rotate around the X axis; the third main body is fixedly arranged on the support frame 100, the third main body drives the hanger 200 to rotate around the Y axis, the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 arranged on the pan-tilt module 300 will rotate around the Y axis with the hanger 200.

[0057] It should be noted that, by adopting the above connection method, it is equivalent to that the first drive member 500, the second drive member 600 and the third drive member 700 all adopt a positive drive method. Compared with the reverse drive, the positive drive has the advantage of higher driving efficiency. Moreover, compared with the driving method in which the third output part is connected to the support frame 100, the driving method in which the third main body part is connected to the support frame 100 can make the third main body part closer to the support frame 100, thereby facilitating the electrical connection between the third main body part and the support frame 100.

[0058] In another embodiment, the first driving member 500, the second driving member 600 and the third driving member 700 can also adopt a reverse driving method; the first driving member 500 includes a first main body and a first output part, the first output part can rotate relative to the first main body, the first main body is connected to the pan-tilt module 300, and the first output part is connected to the hanger 200; the second driving member 600 includes a second main body and a second output part, the second output part can rotate relative to the second main body, the second main body is connected to the image acquisition module 400, and the second output part is connected to the pan-tilt module 300; the third driving member 700 includes a third main body and a third output part, the third output part can rotate relative to the third main body, the third main body is connected to the hanger 200, and the third output part is connected to the support frame 100.

[0059] See also Figure 5 as well as Fig.11 The hanger 200 includes a first accommodating cavity, and the first driving member 500 is at least partially disposed in the first accommodating cavity; the pan / tilt module 300 includes a second accommodating cavity, and the second driving member 600 is at least partially disposed in the second accommodating cavity; the support frame 100 includes a third accommodating cavity, and the third driving member 700 is at least partially disposed in the third accommodating cavity. By partially or completely hiding the first driving member 500, the second driving member 600 and the third driving member 700 in each accommodating cavity, it is possible to avoid the first driving member 500, the second driving member 600 and the third driving member 700 from being excessively exposed on the surface of the shell, which can provide good protection for each driving member. At the same time, the first driving member 500 and the second driving member 600 installed in the accommodating cavity make the internal structure of the component more compact, and make good use of the internal space of the component.

[0060] See also Figures 9 to 11 The support frame 100 includes a fixing member 140, and the third accommodating cavity is disposed in the fixing member 140. By providing a cavity inside the support body 110 of the support frame 100, a bulge may appear on the support frame 100, which is not aesthetically pleasing and destroys the overall structural design of the support body 110. The fixing member 140 can well solve the above problem, and can meet the need for internal protection of the third driving member 700, while not affecting the third driving member 700 driving the hanger 200 to drive the pan / tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 to rotate.

[0061] See also Figure 5 as well as Fig.11 The first driving member 500 is a first motor, the second driving member 600 is a second motor, and the third driving member 700 is a third motor. The use of motors as driving members has the advantages of small size and light weight, and it is convenient to install each driving member in the corresponding component. At the same time, the motor also has the advantages of high starting efficiency, stable speed and strong controllability.

[0062] It should be noted that a motor is used as a driving component, the stator of the motor is equivalent to the main body of the driving component, and the rotor of the motor is equivalent to the output part of the driving component. When each driving component adopts a positive drive mode, the stator of the first motor is connected to the hanger 200, and the rotor of the first motor is connected to the pan-tilt module 300; the stator of the second motor is connected to the pan-tilt module 300, and the rotor of the second motor is connected to the image acquisition module 400; the stator of the third motor is connected to the support frame 100, and the rotor of the third motor is connected to the hanger 200.

[0063] See also Figure 1-2 The support frame 100 is provided with an electrical connection part, which is electrically connected to the gimbal module 300, and the electrical connection part is electrically connected to the image acquisition module 400. The electrical connection method between the electrical connection part and the gimbal module 300 is that the electrical connection part is electrically connected to the first driving member 500 and the second driving member 600 located in the gimbal module 300, respectively, and the electrical connection part is also electrically connected to the third driving member 700. The image acquisition module 400 and each driving member can be powered by the setting of the electrical connection part, so that each driving member and the image acquisition module 400 can be driven normally to perform scanning and photographing operations.

[0064] It should be noted that the electrical connection can be a wired connection, and the electrical connection part charges the gimbal module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 through the line; the electrical connection can also be a wireless connection, and the electrical connection part realizes wireless charging of the gimbal module 300, the image acquisition module 400 and the third driving member 700 through electromagnetic induction.

[0065] See also Figure 2 The electrical connection part includes a power supply part 150, which is used to supply power to the gimbal module 300, the image acquisition module 400 and the third driving member 700. The support frame 100 includes a support body 110 and a base 120. The support body 110 is arranged on the base 120. The front side of the support body 110 is provided with a device support surface 111 for placing electronic equipment. The power supply part 150 is arranged on the rear side of the support body 110. The base 120 is provided with a charging port corresponding to the position of the power supply part 150. The setting of the charging port facilitates the connection of the power supply part 150 with an external charging cable.

[0066] Please refer to 1. The electrical connection part also includes a device connection part 160. The device connection part 160 is used to connect the electronic device with the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400. The device connection part 160 is arranged on the front side of the bracket body 110.

When the electronic device is placed on the device support surface 111, the electronic device is connected to the PIN pin of the device connection part 160 through its own PIN point, which is convenient for the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 to be used in conjunction with the electronic device. When the electronic device itself is also equipped with a camera, the camera of the electronic device and the image acquisition module 400 on the pan-tilt module 300 can be used together as a camera component of the electronic device, which can provide a larger shooting range for the electronic device, so that the user can adjust its shooting range according to actual needs, so that the user has a better use experience, and can also realize dual-screen shooting of taking pictures of the user and tracking the desktop for scanning. In addition, the PIN point of the electronic device is connected to the PIN pin of the device connection part 160, the device connection part 160 is connected to the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 through lines, and the pan-tilt module 300 and the image acquisition module 400 are connected to the power supply part 150 through lines, so the power supply part 150 can also charge the electronic device.
