DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 13 An embodiment of the present invention provides a pan-tilt bracket, including a support frame 100, a pan-tilt module 200, an image acquisition module 300 and a first driving member 500. The pan-tilt module 200 is connected to the support frame 100 for rotation around a first axis; the image acquisition module 300 is arranged at one end of the pan-tilt module 200 along the second axis, and the image acquisition module 300 is located laterally to the first axis; one end of the first driving member 500 is connected to the support frame 100, and the other end is connected to the pan-tilt module 200; the first driving member 500 can drive the pan-tilt module 200 to rotate relative to the support frame 100.

[0041] For the convenience of description, this specification takes the support frame 100 in the pan-tilt bracket as an example for supporting the electronic device 800 to explain the pan-tilt bracket, that is, the pan-tilt bracket is an electronic device bracket, and when used, the pan-tilt bracket is placed on a desktop or the like. In other embodiments, the pan-tilt bracket can also be a fixed design that is integrated with the electronic device 800, that is, the support frame 100 of the pan-tilt bracket and the housing of the electronic device 800 are an integrated structure, and the pan-tilt bracket is used as an integrated structure with the electronic device 800 when used.

[0042] It should be noted that the support frame 100 is used to support and fix the electronic device 800 such as a tablet computer, mobile phone, camera, MP3, MP4 and computer. The image acquisition module 300 is any component that can acquire images, such as a camera, infrared imager, scanner, etc. At the same time, for the convenience of description, when the present invention describes the "front side" and "back side" of a certain component, it means that when a user stands in front of the screen of the electronic device 800 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 back side of the component, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , straight line L1 is the first axis, straight line L2 is the second axis, straight line L3 is the third axis, in one embodiment, the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis, the first axis is parallel to the third axis, and the Figure 7 For the convenience of description, the present invention takes the case where the electronic device 800 is fixed on the support frame 100 and the gimbal module 200 is in the initial state as an example. The first axis direction is the up and down direction of the electronic device 800, and the second axis direction is the left and right direction of the electronic device 800.

[0043] In other embodiments, the first axis and the second axis may not be perpendicular, the first axis and the third axis may not be parallel to each other, the direction of the first axis is not limited to the up and down direction of the electronic device 800, and the second axis is not limited to the left and right direction of the electronic device 800.

[0044] The present invention provides a pan-tilt bracket, wherein a pan-tilt module 200 is arranged on a support frame 100, and an image acquisition module 300 is arranged on the pan-tilt module 200. The image acquisition module 300 can be used as an external image acquisition module 300 of an electronic device 800, and can meet the shooting requirements of a wider range when the electronic device 800 is used. In addition, the pan-tilt module 200 can be driven by a first driving member 500 to drive the image acquisition module 300 to rotate around a first axis, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the photo-taking and video-recording direction of the image acquisition module 300, thereby expanding the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 300.

[0045] See also Figure 1-2 The sound collection module 400 is arranged at the other end of the pan-tilt module 200 along the second axis, and the sound collection module 400 is located laterally to the first axis. Through the arrangement of the sound collection module 400, it can be used as an external sound collection module 400 of the electronic device 800 to meet more user needs; and the sound collection module 400 is arranged at the other end of the pan-tilt module 200, which does not affect the image collection module 300 moving to the front side to take pictures and record videos.

[0046] In addition, the inventors also found that for some electronic devices 800 with built-in microphones in fixed positions, when the user speaks in a low voice or the user is far from the microphone, the microphone has poor accuracy in recognizing the user's voice information or even cannot recognize the user's voice information, resulting in the user needing to actively approach the microphone so that the microphone can recognize the correct voice information, which is not conducive to user experience. The invention sets the sound collection module 400 on the pan-tilt module 200, and the sound collection module 400 can be used as an external sound collection module 400 of the electronic device 800, and the sound collection module 400 and the image collection module 300 are respectively located at the two ends of the pan-tilt module 200 along the second axis direction, and the pan-tilt module 200 can be driven by the first driving member 500 to drive the sound collection module 400 to rotate around the first axis, so that the sound collection module 400 moves to a position close to the front side of the support frame 100, so that the sound collection module 400 can be closer to the desktop or the user, which is convenient for the sound collection module 400 to better recognize the user's voice information, without the user actively approaching the microphone, which is conducive to improving the user's experience.

[0047] See also Figure 1-2 The pan-tilt module 200 includes a first shell 210 and a second shell 220. The first shell 210 is connected to the support frame 100 for rotation around a first axis, and the second shell 220 is connected to the first shell 210 for rotation around a second axis. The sound collection module 400 is arranged on the first shell 210, and the image collection module 300 is arranged on the second shell 220. The pan-tilt support also includes a second driving member 600, one end of which is connected to the first shell 210, and the other end is connected to the second shell 220. The second driving member 600 can drive the second shell 220 to rotate relative to the first shell 210. By driving the second shell 220 to drive the image collection module 300 to rotate around the second axis through the second driving member 600, the direction of the image collection module 300 for taking photos and recording videos can be conveniently adjusted from another direction, which can not only expand the range of the image collection module 300 for taking photos and recording videos, but also facilitate the image collection module 300 to complete the action of nodding downward and raising head upward, making the photo taking and recording videos more intelligent and improving the user experience.

[0048] See also Figure 1 to Figure 5, the image acquisition module 300 is connected to the second housing 220 for rotation around a third axis, and the third axis is parallel to or out of plane with the first axis; the PTZ bracket also includes a third driving member 700, one end of which is connected to the second housing 220, and the other end is connected to the image acquisition module 300; the third driving member 700 can drive the image acquisition module 300 to rotate relative to the second housing 220. 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 300 along three axes, so as to adjust the photo-taking and video-recording direction of the image acquisition module 300 according to the demand, and can further expand the photo-taking and video-recording range of the image acquisition module 300 to meet the different photo-taking needs of customers in various scenes. At the same time, the rotatable image acquisition module 300 on the PTZ bracket can realize a larger and wider range of tracking photography at any angle, and can realize the photo-taking of special-shaped angles, 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.

[0049] It should be noted that the three-axis motion of the image acquisition module 300 is automatically sensed and then autonomously performs corresponding motions. Figure 1-2 When the image acquisition module 300 is idle, it can be in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , at this time, the pan-tilt module 200 is parallel to the top of the support frame 100 as a whole, and the image acquisition module 300 and the sound acquisition module 400 are respectively located at the left and right ends of the pan-tilt module 200. When the user needs to turn on the scanning or desktop shooting function, the second driving member 600 and the third driving member 700 can be deactivated, and the first driving member 500 is activated to drive the pan-tilt module 200 to drive the image acquisition module 300 to rotate around the first axis until the image acquisition module 300 moves to the front side of the support frame 100, and then the first driving member 500 and the third driving member 700 can be deactivated, and the second driving member 600 is activated to drive the second shell 220 to drive the image acquisition module 300 to rotate around the second axis until the shooting direction of the image acquisition module 300 is downward, and the front and rear shooting directions of the image acquisition module 300 can be adjusted by the third driving member 700, such as Figure 3 As shown, the image acquisition module 300 can meet the needs of taking photos of a desktop within a certain angle range. When it is necessary to track the desktop, track handwriting, or take photos at a special angle (for example, a book in the middle and a tablet at an angle above), Figure 4As shown, at this time, driven by the second driving member 600, the image acquisition module 300 can perform translational motion to realize parallel desktop scanning and photographing at a certain left and right angle. The image acquisition module 300 can also perform rotational motion under the drive of the first driving member 500 to realize circular motion along the left and right directions to scan and photograph the desktop. With the cooperation of the second driving member 600 and the third driving member 700, both the translational motion and the rotational motion of the image acquisition module 300 can be satisfied, so as to meet the user needs of the image acquisition module 300 to track the desktop, track handwriting or scan and photograph at special angles.

[0050] See also Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 The second housing 220 includes a first accommodating cavity, and the first accommodating cavity is provided with a limiting opening 230 communicating with the outside. The image acquisition module 300 can be movably arranged in the first accommodating cavity, and part of the image acquisition module 300 extends to the outside of the first accommodating cavity through the limiting opening 230. The setting of the first accommodating cavity allows the image acquisition module 300 to be movable, and can also play a certain protective role for the image acquisition module 300. At the same time, the setting of the limiting opening 230 satisfies the function of the image acquisition module 300 to take pictures outward, and can also appropriately limit the image acquisition module 300, so that the third driving member 700 controls the angle adjustment range of the image acquisition module 300 within a suitable range.

[0051] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 The limiting opening 230 at least includes a first opening 231 and a second opening 232, the first opening 231 is connected to the second opening 232, and the first opening 231 and the second opening 232 are respectively arranged at two adjacent sides of the second housing 220. By setting the first opening 231 and the second opening 232, the adjustment range of the third driving member 700 for the photo taking and video recording of the image acquisition module 300 can be effectively expanded, and because the first opening 231 and the second opening 232 are respectively arranged at two adjacent sides of the second housing 220, it is ensured that the image acquisition module 300 can at least move between the two sides of the second housing 220, so as to cooperate with the first driving member 500 and the second driving member 600 to realize the image acquisition module 300 adjusting the photo taking and video recording direction from three-axis directions.

[0052] It should be noted that when you need to take a photo of a person, Figure 3 On the basis of the present invention, the third driving member 700 drives the image acquisition module 300 to rotate so that its shooting direction faces straight ahead, which can meet the user's shooting needs. When the user needs to change the screen from horizontal to vertical to take a full-body photo, after issuing a corresponding instruction on the electronic device 800, such as Figure 5 As shown, the image acquisition module 300 can realize angle rotation through the second driving member 600, thereby realizing full-body photography; in addition, Figure 3 On the basis of the image acquisition module 300, driven by the third driving member 700, it can not only raise its head upward, but also nod downward. Similarly, the first driving member 500 and the second driving member 600 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 300 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.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, the limit opening 230 may also include three connected openings, which are respectively arranged on three different sides of the second housing 220. The three different sides may be composed of two oppositely arranged sides and a middle side connecting the two opposite sides, or may be composed of three sides adjacent to each other. The three openings can also enable the third driving member 700 to cooperate with the first driving member 500 and the second driving member 600 to adjust the direction of the image acquisition module 300 for taking photos and recording videos from three axes.

[0054] See also Figure 10 to Figure 13 The image acquisition module 300 includes a third housing 310, which is rotatably connected to the second housing 220. A second accommodating cavity is formed inside the third housing 310, and part of the third driving member 700 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity. The third driving member 700 is disposed inside the third housing 310, so that the third driving member 700 and the image acquisition module 300 are more compact when assembled, and the space is well utilized. In addition, the third driving member 700 can be protected internally, which is conducive to reducing the interference of external factors on the operation of the third driving member 700.

[0055] It should be noted that the outer wall of the third shell 310 is designed as a curved surface, and the inner wall of the first accommodating cavity of the second shell 220 is a curved surface matching the third shell 310, so that the third shell 310 can rotate in the first accommodating cavity. In addition, the curved surface is used as the contact surface between the third shell 310 and the second shell 220, which is beneficial to reduce the friction generated when the image acquisition module 300 moves, thereby reducing the output intensity of the third driving member 700 and reducing energy loss.

[0056] Please continue reading Figure 10 to Figure 13The third shell 310 is provided with a through opening 311 connecting the second accommodating cavity with the outside. The third driving member 700 includes a fixing member 710. The fixing member 710 passes through the through opening 311 and is connected to the second shell 220. When the third driving member 700 drives the image acquisition module 300 to rotate relative to the second shell 220, the fixing member 710 can move relative to the through opening 311. It should be noted that the through opening 311 is an arc-shaped through hole arranged on the circumference of the third shell 310. When the third driving member 700 drives the second shell 220 by positive driving to realize the rotation of the image acquisition module 300 relative to the second shell 220, the fixing member 710 can move relative to the through opening 311. Specifically, the through opening 311 on the third shell 310 will change position as the third shell 310 rotates, and the fixing member 710 will remain stationary. The setting of the fixing member 710 can realize the connection and fixation of the third driving member 700 located in the third shell 310 with the second shell 220. While satisfying the requirement that the third driving member 700 is compactly installed in the third shell 310 to improve space utilization, the setting of the through opening 311 can also be combined to prevent the fixing member 710 from blocking the movement of the third shell 310 in the first accommodating chamber, that is, it does not affect the third driving member 700 driving the third shell 310 to rotate, thereby facilitating the third driving member 700 to adjust the photo taking and video recording direction of the image acquisition module 300.

[0057] See also Figure 8 to Figure 13 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 support frame 100, and the first output part is connected to the first shell 210; 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 first shell 210, and the second output part is connected to the second shell 220; 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 second shell 220, and the third output part is connected to the image acquisition module 300. That is, the first main body is fixedly arranged on the support frame 100, the first main body drives the first output part to drive the first shell 210 to rotate around the first axis, and the second shell 220 and the image acquisition module 300 located on the second shell 220 will rotate around the first axis with the first shell 210; the second main body is fixedly arranged on the first shell 210, the second main body drives the second output part to drive the second shell 220 to rotate around the second axis, and the image acquisition module 300 located on the second shell 220 will rotate around the second axis with the second shell 220; the third main body is fixedly arranged on the second shell 220, and the third main body drives the image acquisition module 300 to rotate around the third axis.

[0058] 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 first output part is connected to the support frame 100, the driving method in which the first main body part is connected to the support frame 100 can make the first main body part closer to the support frame 100, thereby facilitating the electrical connection between the first main body part and the support frame 100.

[0059] 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 first shell 210, and the first output part is connected to the support frame 100; 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 second shell 220, and the second output part is connected to the first shell 210; 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 image acquisition module 300, and the third output part is connected to the second shell 220.

[0060] See also Figure 8-Figure 9 The support frame 100 includes a third accommodating cavity, the first driving member 500 is at least partially disposed in the third accommodating cavity, the first shell 210 includes a fourth accommodating cavity, and the second driving member 600 is at least partially disposed in the fourth accommodating cavity. By partially or completely hiding the first driving member 500 and the second driving member 600 in each accommodating cavity, it is possible to avoid the first driving member 500 and the second driving member 600 from being excessively exposed on the shell surface, 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 shell make the internal structure of the component more compact and make good use of the internal space of the component. Compared with each driving member installed outside the component, the present invention can make the pan-tilt module 200 have a neater and more beautiful appearance. When the pan-tilt module 200 is assembled on the support frame 100, the outer wall of the pan-tilt module 200 also has the effect of preventing hands from being knocked by adopting a circular arc surface.

[0061] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9The support frame 100 includes a support body 120 and a connecting member 110. The connecting member 110 is disposed in the support body 120, and the third accommodating cavity is disposed in the connecting member 110. The cavity disposed inside the support body 120 may cause the support body 120 to bulge, which is not aesthetically pleasing and destroys the overall structural design of the support body 120. The connecting member 110 can well solve the above problem, and can meet the requirement of internal protection of the first driving member 500 without affecting the first driving member 500 driving the pan / tilt module 200 to rotate.

[0062] It should be noted that the bracket body 120 is provided with a device supporting surface, which is located on the side of the bracket body 120 facing the user. The device supporting surface can provide an installation position for the electronic device 800 to be installed on the gimbal bracket. The image acquisition module 300 and the sound acquisition module 400 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the gimbal module 200. The gimbal module 200 extends along the first axis direction to have a mounting portion corresponding to the connecting piece 110. The gimbal module 200 and the connecting piece 110 are together in a T-shape.

[0063] See also Figures 9 to 12 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.

[0064] It should be noted that a motor is used as a driving member, the stator of the motor is equivalent to the main body of the driving member, and the rotor of the motor is equivalent to the output part of the driving member. When each driving member adopts a positive drive mode, the stator of the first motor is connected to the support frame 100, and the rotor of the first motor is connected to the first shell 210; the stator of the second motor is connected to the first shell 210, and the rotor of the second motor is connected to the second shell 220; the stator of the third motor is connected to the second shell 220, and the rotor of the third motor is connected to the image acquisition module 300.

The electrical connection part is electrically connected to the pan-tilt module 200 in such a way that the electrical connection part is electrically connected to the first driving member 500, the second driving member 600, and the third driving member 700 located in the pan-tilt module 200, respectively. The image acquisition module 300 and each driving member in the pan-tilt module 200 can be powered by the setting of the electrical connection part, so that the pan-tilt module 200 and the image acquisition module 300 can perform shooting operations normally.

[0066] It should be noted that the electrical connection can be a wired connection, and the electrical connection part charges the gimbal module 200 and the image acquisition module 300 through the line; the electrical connection can also be a wireless connection, and the electrical connection part realizes wireless charging of the gimbal module 200 and the image acquisition module 300 through electromagnetic induction.

[0067] See also Figure 6 The electrical connection part includes a power supply part 140, which is used to supply power to the gimbal module 200 and the image acquisition module 300. The support frame 100 includes a support body 120 and a base 130. The support body 120 is arranged on the base 130. The front side of the support body 120 is provided with a device support surface for placing the electronic device 800. The power supply part 140 is arranged on the rear side of the support body 120. The base 130 is provided with a charging port corresponding to the position of the power supply part 140. The setting of the charging port facilitates the connection of the power supply part 140 with an external charging cable.

[0068] Please refer to 5. The electrical connection part also includes a device connection part 150. The device connection part 150 is used to connect the electronic device 800 with the gimbal module 200 and the image acquisition module 300. The device connection part 150 is arranged on the front side of the bracket body 120. The device connection part 150 is connected to the gimbal module 200 and the image acquisition module 300 through lines. When the electronic device 800 is placed on the device support surface, the electronic device 800 is connected to the PIN pin of the device connection part 150 through its own PIN point, which is convenient for the gimbal module 200 and the image acquisition module 300 to be used in conjunction with the electronic device 800. When the electronic device 800 itself is also equipped with a camera, the camera of the electronic device 800 and the image acquisition module 300 on the gimbal module 200 can be used together as a camera component of the electronic device 800, which can provide a larger shooting range for the electronic device 800, 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 800 is connected to the PIN pin of the device connection part 150, the device connection part 150 is connected to the gimbal module 200 and the image acquisition module 300 through lines, and the gimbal module 200 and the image acquisition module 300 are connected to the power supply part 140 through lines, so the power supply part 140 can also charge the electronic device 800.
