[0002] With the rapid development of drones, they are widely used in various fields such as infrastructure planning, high-voltage line inspection, emergency response, power grid monitoring, and security monitoring, making drones an important tool in many fields.

[0003] Drones typically require gimbals to carry mounted equipment such as cameras. The connection structure between the gimbal and the mounted equipment is divided into non-detachable and detachable types. Although non-detachable connection structures are low in cost, they are inconvenient to disassemble and have limited application range. Detachable connection structures are usually connected by screws, and installation and disassembly require special tools, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, making it difficult to achieve the goal of quickly assembling and disassembling mounted equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Optionally, the connector is provided with a protrusion, and the through hole is provided with a slot. The protrusion is used to engage with or disengage from the slot during the rotation of the connector.

[0010] Optionally, a limiting ring and a limiting strip are provided inside the through hole, and the slot is formed between the limiting ring and the limiting strip.

[0031] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0032] Drones typically require a gimbal to mount devices such as cameras. The connection structure between the gimbal and the mounted device is divided into non-detachable and detachable types. While non-detachable connection structures are low-cost, they are inconvenient to disassemble and limit their application. Detachable connection structures are usually connected with screws, requiring specialized tools for installation and disassembly, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming, thus failing to achieve the goal of quickly assembling and disassembling mounted devices. Embodiments of this application provide a gimbal device that enables rapid assembly and disassembly of mounted devices.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The gimbal device provided in the embodiments of this application includes a bracket 100, a rotating assembly 200, and an unlocking component. The bracket 100 has a through hole 110, and a positioning hole 120 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 110. The rotating assembly 200 is rotatably disposed in the through hole 110. The rotating assembly 200 is provided with a locking component 400 for locking in the positioning hole 120. The rotating assembly 200 is used to install and mount equipment. The unlocking component is movably disposed on the bracket 100 for unlocking the locking component 400 from the positioning hole 120.

[0034] The rotating assembly 200 is equipped with a locking element 400, which engages with the positioning hole 120 to lock the rotating assembly 200 on the bracket 100, ensuring that the mounted equipment will not loosen due to external forces during flight. An unlocking element is movably mounted on the bracket 100 and its function is to release the locking relationship between the locking element 400 and the positioning hole 120, facilitating the operator's disassembly of the mounted equipment.

[0035] When the rotating component 200 is installed in the through hole 110 of the bracket 100 and rotated to the locked position, the locking member 400 automatically engages in the positioning hole 120, thereby restricting the rotational freedom of the rotating component 200 and locking the mounted equipment. This locking method avoids the cumbersome operation of traditional screw structures and enhances the stability of the connection through the mechanical structure's cooperation. When it is necessary to disassemble the mounted equipment, the operator moves the unlocking member, causing it to push the locking member 400 out of the positioning hole 120, thereby releasing the locked state. At this time, the rotating component 200 can rotate freely, thus enabling the quick disassembly of the mounted equipment.

[0036] This design not only enables the rapid installation and disassembly of the mounted equipment through the structural cooperation between the rotating component 200 and the bracket 100, but also improves the reliability and safety of the connection structure compared to the screw structure through the mechanical locking relationship between the locking component 400 and the positioning hole 120. It avoids the problem of accidental detachment caused by external factors during flight and effectively solves the problems of inconvenient disassembly and poor safety in the traditional gimbal connection method.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotating assembly 200 includes a cooperating follower disk 210 and a connector 220, and the locking component 400 includes a locking pin 410 and a first spring 420. Both the locking pin 410 and the first spring 420 are disposed on the follower disk 210. The locking pin 410 is used to lock into the positioning hole 120 under the action of the first spring 420, and the connector 220 is used to install the mounting equipment.

[0038] The follower disk 210 and the connector 220 constitute two components of the rotating assembly 200. They cooperate to ensure that the connector 220 drives the follower disk 210 to move synchronously during rotation, thereby ensuring that the locking member 400 can lock into the positioning hole 120 at a predetermined position. Specifically, the follower disk 210 serves as a structural platform supporting the locking member 400, and it is provided with mounting holes for installing the locking pin 410 and the first spring 420. The locking pin 410 is pressed into the positioning hole 120 on the bracket 100 by the elastic force of the first spring 420, thus achieving a locking state between the rotating assembly 200 and the bracket 100. This locking state remains stable without external intervention, ensuring that the mounted equipment will not loosen or fall off due to vibration during flight.

[0039] By mounting the locking pin 410 and the first spring 420 on the follower plate 210, and cooperating with the connecting piece 220 on the follower plate 210, the locking pin 410 can automatically engage with the positioning hole 120 when the follower plate 210 rotates to the locking position under the force of the first spring 420, thus achieving rapid locking of the mounted equipment. This locking structure not only simplifies the operation process and improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the overall connection.

[0040] In this embodiment, the unlocking component includes a button 300, on which a protrusion 310 is provided. The protrusion 310 is used to push the locking pin 410 out of the positioning hole 120. A second spring 320 is provided between the button 300 and the bracket 100. The button 300 is used to reset under the action of the second spring 320.

[0041] As the core structure of the unlocking component, button 300 is positioned corresponding to the locking pin 410 of locking component 400. This ensures that during operation, the protrusion 310 on button 300 can directly act on the locking pin 410, thereby releasing the locked state. Specifically, when the operator presses button 300, the protrusion 310 on button 300 moves towards the locking pin 410 and abuts against one end of the locking pin 410, causing the locking pin 410 to overcome the elastic force of the first spring 420 and disengage from the positioning hole 120, thus releasing the locked state and allowing the rotating component 200 to rotate freely, thereby enabling the disassembly of the mounted equipment. During the pressing of button 300, button 300 compresses the second spring 320, storing the elastic potential energy required for reset. When the operator releases button 300, button 300 returns to its original path under the action of the second spring 320. At the same time, the protrusion 310 disengages from the locking pin 410. Under the action of the reset force of the first spring 420, the locking pin 410 can re-enter the locking preparation state, providing conditions for the next locking operation.

[0042] The mechanical linkage between button 300 and locking pin 410, along with the reset action of button 300 by the second spring 320, ensures good operational feedback and structural stability during the unlocking process. This button 300 structure not only simplifies the user's operation and improves disassembly efficiency, but also ensures the reliability and repeatability of the unlocking action.

[0043] Please combine Figure 5 In this embodiment, the connector 220 is provided with a protrusion 221 and the through hole 110 is provided with a slot 130. The protrusion 221 is used to engage with or disengage from the slot 130 during the rotation of the connector 220.

[0044] When the connector 220 is inserted into the through hole 110 of the bracket 100 and begins to rotate, the protrusion 221 on the outer periphery of the connector 220 will move with the connector 220. When rotated to a specific angle, the protrusion 221 will be engaged in the slot 130, thereby fixing the rotating component 200 on the bracket 100. The connector 220 is not easy to slide along the axial direction of the through hole 110. At the same time, the locking pin 410 is engaged in the positioning hole 120, and the mounted equipment is in a locked state and cannot be rotated at will, ensuring that it will not be deviated or fall off due to external force during flight.

[0045] When it is necessary to disassemble the mounted equipment, the connector 220 needs to be rotated in the reverse direction. First, the button 300 is used to unlock it, and then the connector 220 is rotated in the reverse direction. The protrusion 221 will slide out of the slot 130 until it is freed from the restriction of the slot 130. At this time, the connector 220 can move axially relative to the bracket 100 along the through hole 110, thereby enabling the disassembly of the mounted equipment. The mating structure between the protrusion 221 and the slot 130 provides additional mechanical support for the rotating component 200 in the locked state, improving the stability of the mounted equipment.

[0046] By setting a protrusion 221 on the connector 220 and a corresponding slot 130 in the through hole 110, the rotating component 200 can achieve stable switching between the snap-fit ​​and snap-unscrew states during rotation, which not only enhances the structural stability between the rotating component 200 and the bracket 100, but also improves the controllability and convenience of disassembly and assembly operations.

[0047] In this embodiment, a limiting ring 140 and a limiting strip 150 are provided inside the through hole 110, and a slot 130 is formed between the limiting ring 140 and the limiting strip 150.

[0048] The limiting ring 140 is an annular structure inside the through hole 110, and its central axis is aligned with the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 200. The limiting ring 140, together with the limiting strip 150, provides axial support for the connector 220 during rotation. The limiting strip 150 is arc-shaped, extends circumferentially along the through hole 110, and maintains a certain distance from the limiting ring 140. A groove 130 is formed between the limiting ring 140 and the limiting strip 150. This groove 130 is used to accommodate the protrusion 221 on the outer circumferential surface of the connector 220 and guides the protrusion 221 to slide in during the rotation of the connector 220, so as to realize the positioning function of the rotating assembly 200 at a specific angle.

[0049] When the connector 220 is inserted into the through hole 110 and begins to rotate, the protrusion 221 slides from one side of the limiting strip 150 toward the slot 130 until the connector 220 rotates to the locking position. At this time, the locking pin 410 in the locking member 400 is embedded in the positioning hole 120 under the action of the first spring 420, and the protrusion 221 is also fully inserted into the slot 130 and is limited, thereby realizing the double locking of the rotating component 200 on the bracket 100. That is, locking is achieved by the cooperation of the locking member 400 and the positioning hole 120, and circumferential limiting is achieved by the cooperation of the protrusion 221 and the slot 130.

[0050] In this embodiment, the protrusion 221 and the limiting strip 150 are respectively provided with a first wedge-shaped surface 2211 and a second wedge-shaped surface that can cooperate with each other.

[0051] When the connector 220 rotates in a certain direction (e.g., clockwise), the first wedge-shaped surface 2211 on the protrusion 221 contacts the second wedge-shaped surface on the limiting strip 150 and slides along the wedge-shaped surface during rotation. As the rotation angle increases, the fit between the two wedge-shaped surfaces gradually strengthens until they are completely engaged. At this point, a tight structural fit is formed between the protrusion 221 and the limiting strip 150, preventing the connector 220 from continuing to rotate in the current direction. This structural design ensures that the connector 220 cannot continue to move forward after reaching a certain limit position during rotation and can only rotate in the opposite direction (e.g., counterclockwise), thus achieving a unidirectional limiting function for the rotation direction of the connector 220.

[0052] When the connector 220 rotates until the first wedge surface 2211 and the second wedge surface are fully engaged, continuing to apply rotational force in the same direction will result in rigid contact between the structures, preventing further rotation. This mechanical limiting mechanism not only prevents the rotating component 200 from over-rotating due to misoperation during operation, but also provides the operator with clear physical feedback, indicating that the rotation has reached the locked position or that the rotation direction needs to be changed. Furthermore, in the unlocked state, when the connector 220 rotates in the opposite direction, the engagement between the first wedge surface 2211 and the second wedge surface is released, and the protrusion 221 can smoothly disengage from the slot 130, enabling the removal of the mounted equipment.

[0053] By setting a first wedge-shaped surface 2211 and a second wedge-shaped surface on the protrusion 221 and the limiting strip 150 respectively, and forming a rotation limit when the two are fully engaged, the rotation of the connector 220 in a specific direction has a clear endpoint, thereby realizing the unidirectional limiting function.

[0054] In this embodiment, multiple limiting strips 150 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the through hole 110, and a slot 130 is formed between each limiting strip 150 and the limiting ring 140. Multiple protrusions 221 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the connector 220, and the multiple protrusions 221 can cooperate with the multiple slots 130 one by one.

[0055] The circumferential distribution of multiple limiting strips 150 creates multiple independent slots 130 within the through hole 110 of the bracket 100. Each slot 130 can accommodate a protrusion 221 on the connector 220. Correspondingly, the connector 220 is provided with multiple protrusions 221, the number of which matches the number of slots 130. Thus, during the rotation of the connector 220, the multiple protrusions 221 can sequentially enter the corresponding slots 130, achieving multi-point limiting of the rotating component 200. The circumferentially spaced arrangement of the limiting strips 150 and protrusions 221 enhances the structural stability of the rotating component 200 in the locked state.

[0056] When the first wedge surface 2211 and the second wedge surface are fully engaged, that is, when the connector 220 rotates to a certain extreme position, a rigid abutment is formed between the protrusion 221 and the limiting strip 150, preventing the connector 220 from continuing to rotate in the current direction. Since the multiple limiting strips 150 and the protrusions 221 are circumferentially distributed, at this time all the protrusions 221 are fully engaged with the wedge surface on the corresponding limiting strip 150, forming a unified limiting surface, so that the connector 220 cannot continue to rotate in this direction, and can only rotate in the opposite direction to release the limiting state. This design not only realizes the unidirectional limiting function of the rotating component 200 in a specific direction, but also enhances the load-bearing capacity and torsional performance of the overall structure through the simultaneous cooperation of multiple protrusions 221 and the slot 130, thereby further improving the connection reliability and vibration resistance of the gimbal device during flight.

[0057] For example, three limit bars 150 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the through hole 110, and correspondingly, three protrusions 221 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the connector 220. The three protrusions 221 can be matched with the three slots 130 one by one.

[0058] Please combine Figure 6 In this embodiment, the bracket 100 is provided with a main marking part 160, and the rotating component 200 is provided with a first marking part 222 and a second marking part 223 at intervals along the circumference. When the first marking part 222 and the main marking part 160 are aligned along the axial direction of the through hole 110, each protrusion 221 is located in the gap between two adjacent limiting strips 150. When the second marking part 223 and the main marking part 160 are aligned along the axial direction of the through hole 110, each protrusion 221 cooperates with the corresponding slot 130.

[0059] The main label 160 is located in a visible position on the bracket 100, while the first label 222 and the second label 223 are spaced apart along the circumference of the connector 220. The main label 160, the first label 222 and the second label 223 can all be raised or recessed structures to facilitate operator identification.

[0060] When initially installing the connector 220, the operator can align the first marking portion 222 with the main marking portion 160 along the axial direction of the through hole 110. At this time, any protrusion 221 on the connector 220 is located in the gap between two adjacent limiting strips 150 and has not yet entered the slot 130. The locking member 400 is not triggered, and the rotating component 200 can rotate freely. When the operator rotates the connector 220 in a certain direction (such as clockwise), the first wedge-shaped surface 2211 of the protrusion 221 slides along the second wedge-shaped surface of the limiting strip 150 and gradually enters the slot 130. At the same time, the second marking portion 223 on the connector 220 gradually approaches the main marking portion 160. When the first wedge surface 2211 is rotated to fully fit the second wedge surface, the second marking part 223 is aligned with the main marking part 160. At this time, the protrusion 221 has fully entered the corresponding slot 130, and the locking pin 410 in the locking member 400 is embedded in the positioning hole 120 under the action of the spring. The locking action is completed, and the mounted equipment enters the fixed state.

[0061] When the operator continues to rotate the connector 220 in the same direction, the first wedge surface 2211 and the second wedge surface are completely engaged, forming a rigid structural limit that prevents the connector 220 from rotating further forward. At this point, if the operator attempts to apply further rotational force, significant resistance will be generated between the protrusion 221 and the limiting strip 150, indicating that the rotation has reached its limit. At this point, the connector 220 can only rotate in the opposite direction to disengage the protrusion 221 from the slot 130 and return to the unlocked state. This unidirectional limiting mechanism, combined with the marking, allows the operator to visually determine whether the locking operation has been successfully completed by observing the alignment of the marking, while also preventing structural damage caused by misoperation.

[0062] The alignment between the main marking section 160, the first marking section 222, and the second marking section 223 provides clear visual feedback to the operator, enhancing the recognizability of locking and unlocking operations. At the same time, the linkage between the markings and the mechanical structure ensures the consistency between the marking status and the actual mechanical status, improving the overall operating experience of the gimbal device.

[0063] Please combine Figure 7 In this embodiment, the follower disk 210 is supported by the limiting ring 140, the follower disk 210 is provided with a column 211, and the connector 220 is provided with a mating hole 2261 that mates with the column 211.

[0064] To ensure the installation stability and motion consistency of the follower disk 210 within the through hole 110 of the bracket 100, the follower disk 210 is supported on the limiting ring 140. The limiting ring 140 provides axial support for the follower disk 210, while the through hole 110 provides radial limitation, preventing it from shifting or falling off during use. Simultaneously, the follower disk 210 is provided with a column 211, which serves as a structural feature for mating with the connector 220. This column 211 matches the mating hole 2261 on the connector 220. When the connector 220 is installed into the through hole 110 of the bracket 100 and engages with the follower disk 210, the column 211 inserts into the mating hole 2261, forming a structural plug-in fit, thereby ensuring synchronous movement between the follower disk 210 and the connector 220 during rotation.

[0065] When the connector 220 rotates in a certain direction, its protrusion 221 enters the groove 130 between the limiting ring 140 and the limiting strip 150. Simultaneously, the follower disk 210 rotates synchronously with the connector 220 through the engagement between the column 211 and the mating hole 2261. During this process, the locking pin 410 in the locking member 400 maintains an outward extension tendency under the action of the spring. When the rotating assembly 200 reaches the locking position, the locking pin 410 engages with the positioning hole 120 on the bracket 100, completing the locking action. Because the insertion structure between the column 211 and the mating hole 2261 has good coaxiality and guiding properties, it ensures that the follower disk 210 maintains a stable engagement with the connector 220 during rotation, preventing the locking member 400 from failing due to assembly deviations or external vibrations.

[0066] In this embodiment, the bracket 100 includes a first bracket 170, a second bracket 180 and a shock-absorbing ball 190. The shock-absorbing ball 190 is connected between the first bracket 170 and the second bracket 180, and a through hole 110 is formed in the second bracket 180.

[0067] The first bracket 170, serving as the main structure connecting to the UAV body, is typically fixed to the gimbal mounting area of ​​the UAV, supporting the weight of the entire gimbal assembly and providing a mounting reference for other components. The second bracket 180 is connected to the first bracket 170 via a shock-absorbing ball 190, forming a shock-absorbing bracket 100 structure. The shock-absorbing ball 190, a key component for vibration isolation, is typically made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as rubber or silicone. The shock-absorbing ball 190 absorbs external vibration energy during UAV flight, thereby reducing the vibration impact on the mounted equipment.

[0068] By dividing the bracket 100 into a first bracket 170 and a second bracket 180, and setting a shock-absorbing ball 190 between the two, the entire gimbal device can achieve quick assembly and disassembly while also having good shock absorption performance, effectively improving the stability and reliability of the mounted equipment in complex flight environments.

[0069] In addition, a button cover plate 181 is fixed to the second bracket 180 by screws. The button cover plate 181 has a square hole for the button 300 to pass through, which restricts the button 300 to move only along the axial direction of the positioning hole 120. The second bracket 180 also has a fixing groove 182 for installing the second spring 320. The number of second springs 320 can be two, and correspondingly, the number of fixing grooves 182 is also two. The follower disk 210 is also provided with a first circuit board 212. The second bracket 180 is also fixed with a bracket cover plate 183 by screws. The bracket cover plate 183 covers the first circuit board 212. The bracket cover plate 183 also has a guard coil hole 1832 for installing the guard coil 1831. The guard coil 1831 is used for passing electronic wires. The main marking part 160 is provided on the second bracket 180.

[0070] The bottom of the connector 220 is also provided with an adapter 224. The first marking part 222 and the second marking part 223 are spaced apart on the adapter 224. The connector 220, the adapter 224 and the mounting device are connected by screws. For example, when the mounting device is a gimbal camera 500, the adapter 224 is connected to the motor 510 on the top of the gimbal camera 500 by screws. The adapter 224 is provided with anti-slip texture, which can increase the friction between the hand and the adapter 224, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the gimbal camera 500.

[0071] On the side of the connector 220 away from the adapter 224, there is also a second circuit board 225 and a quick-release cover 226. The quick-release cover 226 encapsulates the second circuit board 225 inside the connector 220. The mating hole 2261 that mates with the column 211 is opened on the quick-release cover 226. A sealing ring 227 is also provided between the connector 220 and the adapter 224.

[0072] In summary, this application provides a gimbal device. When the rotating component 200 is installed in the through hole 110 of the bracket 100 and rotated to the locking position, the locking member 400 automatically embeds into the positioning hole 120, thereby restricting the rotational freedom of the rotating component 200 and locking the mounted device. This locking method avoids the cumbersome operation caused by the traditional screw structure. When it is necessary to disassemble the mounted device, the operator moves the unlocking member to push the locking member 400 out of the positioning hole 120, thereby releasing the locked state. At this time, the rotating component 200 can rotate freely, thereby enabling the quick disassembly of the mounted device.

[0073] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
