Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic products, in particular to a holder assembly and a holder camera. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the related art, the screens of some electronic products, such as holder cameras, mobile phones, etc., can usually be rotated. For the rotating structure in the electronic device for rotating the screen, some electronic products usually control the screen rotation through a motor. However, on the one hand, the process of screen rotation controlled by the motor is usually relatively slow, resulting in that the user needs to wait for a certain period of time during the rotation process; on the other hand, when the user needs to control the motor to rotate the screen, the user usually needs to enter a specific control interface in the electronic device and control the motor by operating the related controls in the control interface, which is relatively cumbersome and thus easily leads to the problem of poor user experience of the screen rotation function. SUMMARY

[0003] The holder assembly and the holder camera provided by the embodiments of the present application can solve the problem of inconvenient operation of the operation button in the screen-rotatable electronic product in the related art.

[0004] In a first aspect, a holder assembly is provided, comprising a handle part and a screen assembly, the screen assembly comprising an elastic module, and the screen assembly being rotationally connected to the handle part through the elastic module, the screen assembly being rotatable relative to the handle part between a first position and a second position.

[0005] In the process of rotating the screen assembly from the first position to a third position, the elastic force in the elastic module gradually increases, so as to gradually increase the damping force of the screen assembly.

[0006] In the process of rotating the screen assembly from the third position to the second position, the elastic module pushes the screen assembly to rotate, and the elastic force in the elastic module gradually decreases.

[0007] The third position is a position between the first position and the second position.

[0008] In a second aspect, a holder camera is provided, comprising a screen body, a holder camera body and the holder assembly of the first aspect, the screen body being connected to the end face of the screen assembly opposite to the handle part, and the holder camera body being connected to one end of the handle part.

[0009] In this embodiment, as the screen assembly rotates from the first position to the third position, the elastic force in the elastic module gradually increases, thereby increasing the damping force of the screen assembly. This enhances the damping sensation during screen assembly rotation. Furthermore, after the screen assembly reaches the third position, the elastic force of the elastic module can propel the screen assembly to the second position, meaning the screen assembly automatically rotates to the second position without requiring manual intervention from the user. Compared to motor-driven rotation, in this embodiment, the screen assembly only requires manual rotation by the user at a certain angle to switch positions from the first to the second position. This process increases the rotation speed compared to motor-driven rotation and eliminates the need for frequent user intervention. Simultaneously, the damping sensation during rotation improves the user's experience of the screen rotation function. Attached Figure Description

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same class, not limited in number; for example, the first object can be one or more. Furthermore, "or" in this application indicates at least one of the connected objects. For example, the scope of protection for "A or B" covers at least three scenarios: Scenario 1: including A but not B; Scenario 2: including B but not A; Scenario 3: including both A and B. In addition, the terms "A and / or B," "at least one of A and B," and "at least one of A or B" also cover at least the above three scenarios. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0025] The gimbal components and gimbal cameras provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This application provides a gimbal assembly, including a handle portion 100 and a screen assembly 200. The screen assembly 200 includes an elastic module 700, and the screen assembly 200 is rotatably connected to the handle portion 100 through the elastic module 700. The screen assembly 200 can rotate relative to the handle portion 100 between a first position and a second position.

[0027] During the process that the screen assembly 200 is rotated from the first position to a third position, the elastic force in the elastic module 700 gradually increases, so that the damping force of the screen assembly 200 gradually increases.

[0028] During the process that the screen assembly 200 is rotated from the third position to the second position, the elastic module 700 pushes the screen assembly 200 to rotate, and the elastic force in the elastic module 700 gradually decreases.

[0029] The third position is a position between the first position and the second position.

[0030] The above gimbal assembly can be applied to various screen rotatable gimbal products, for example, can be applied to a gimbal camera. It should be noted that the gimbal camera includes a gimbal camera body 600 in addition to the gimbal assembly, the gimbal camera body 600 includes a gimbal and a camera, the gimbal can be connected with one end of the handle part 100, the camera is connected with the gimbal, and the camera is electrically connected with the screen body 300. The image captured or recorded by the camera can be displayed through the screen body 300.

[0031] The above third position can be a position 45° from the first position to the second position during the rotation process, or a position 45° from the second position to the first position during the rotation process. Alternatively, the third position can also be a position near the middle position of the first position and the second position.

[0032] Correspondingly, during the process that the screen assembly 200 is rotated from the second position to a third position, the elastic force in the elastic module 700 gradually increases, so that the damping force of the screen assembly 200 gradually increases; during the process that the screen assembly 200 is rotated from the third position to the first position, the elastic module 700 pushes the screen assembly 200 to rotate, and the elastic force in the elastic module 700 gradually decreases.

[0033] In the embodiment, during the rotation of the screen assembly 200 from the first position to the third position, the elastic force of the elastic module 700 gradually increases, so that the damping force of the screen assembly 200 gradually increases, thereby improving the damping feeling during the rotation of the screen assembly 200. After the screen assembly 200 is rotated to the third position, the elastic force of the elastic module 700 can push the screen assembly 200 to continue to rotate to the second position, that is, the user does not need to continue to manually rotate, and the screen assembly 200 can automatically rotate to the second position. Compared with the motor driving, in the embodiment of the application, during the rotation of the screen assembly 200 from the first position to the second position, the user only needs to manually rotate a certain angle, and the position switching can be realized. Compared with the motor driving, the rotation speed can be improved, the user does not need to frequently operate, and the rotation process has a damping feeling, thereby improving the experience of the user on the screen rotation function.

Correspondingly, in the process that the screen assembly 200 rotates from the third position to the second position, the screen assembly 200 can drive the gear 220 to move along the strip-shaped tooth portion 711 in the first direction, the elastic piece 720 is elongated to push the push rod 230 to drive the screen assembly 200 to rotate, thereby achieving the technical effect that the elastic module 700 pushes the screen assembly 200 to rotate.

[0045] The elastic piece 720 comprises at least two springs 721, the at least two springs 721 are arranged between the first inner wall 7110 and the sliding block 730, one end of the spring 721 is connected with the first inner wall 7110, the other end of the spring 721 is connected with the sliding block 730, and the push rod 230 is located between the sliding block 730 and the second inner wall 7111.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 5In some embodiments of the present application, the length direction of the spring 721 can be perpendicular to the length direction of the strip-shaped tooth portion 711. The first inner wall 7110 can be provided with at least two positioning columns 716 corresponding to the at least two springs 721, and the side of the sliding block 730 facing the first inner wall 7110 is provided with at least two positioning grooves 731 corresponding to the at least two springs 721, one end of the spring 721 is sleeved on the corresponding positioning column 716, and the other end of the spring 721 is embedded in the corresponding positioning groove 731, so as to fix the positions of the two ends of the spring 721. The mounting hole 715 near the second inner wall 7111 can be provided with a notch 719 matching the shape of the sliding block 730, so that the sliding block 730 can be installed in the mounting hole 715 through the notch 719.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 7(a), when the screen assembly 200 is in the first position, the user can rotate the screen assembly 200 clockwise, at this time, the gear 220 and the bar-shaped tooth portion 711 are engaged, the gear 220 moves downward along the bar-shaped tooth portion 711, and at the same time, the gear 220 rotates with the screen assembly 200. The push rod 230 in the screen assembly 200 pushes the slider 730 to slide to one side of the first inner wall 7110, so that the spring 721 located between the slider 730 and the first inner wall 7110 is compressed, the elastic force generated by the spring 721 acts on the screen assembly 200 through the slider 730, so that the screen assembly 200 has a damping feeling in the first half of the rotation stroke, and the greater the rotation angle, the greater the damping. When the screen assembly 200 rotates to the third position by a certain angle, the movement state of the push rod 230 changes from compressing the spring 721 to releasing the spring 721, and the damping force in the first half of the stroke becomes the power to push the screen assembly 200 to rotate in the second half of the stroke, so that the screen assembly 200 can automatically rotate to the second position, and finally become a horizontal screen state. Correspondingly, the horizontal screen to the vertical screen is similar, the gear 220 moves and rotates, the spring 721 in the first half of the stroke of the screen assembly 200 generates a damping feeling, and the spring 721 in the second half of the stroke generates power, so that the screen assembly 200 automatically rotates to 90° and returns to the vertical screen state.

[0049] In this embodiment, the elastic module 700 further includes a slider 730, the fixed support 710 is provided with a rectangular mounting hole 715, the slider 730 is arranged in the mounting hole 715, the mounting hole 715 includes first and second opposite inner walls 7110 and 7111, the slider 730 is located between the first and second inner walls 7110 and 7111, and the slider 730 is in sliding connection with the fixed support 710, and the bar-shaped tooth portion 711 is located in the outer wall of the fixed support 710 opposite to the second inner wall 7111; the elastic member 720 includes at least two springs 721 arranged between the first inner wall 7110 and the slider 730, one end of the spring 721 is connected with the first inner wall 7110, the other end of the spring 721 is connected with the slider 730, and the push rod 230 is located between the slider 730 and the second inner wall 7111. Thus, during rotation of the screen assembly 200 from the first position to the third position, the technical effect of gradually increasing the damping force of the screen assembly 200 can be achieved. Correspondingly, during rotation of the screen assembly 200 from the third position to the second position, the technical effect of the elastic module 700 pushing the screen assembly 200 to rotate can be achieved.

[0050] Optionally, the elastic element 720 is a torsion spring, and the elastic element 720 includes a first swing arm 722 and a second swing arm 723. The first swing arm 722 is connected to the fixed bracket 710, and the second swing arm 723 is connected to the push rod 230.

[0051] Please see Figure 8 ,and Figure 1 Compared to the embodiments shown, Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the structure of the meshing motion of gear 220 and rack remains unchanged, and the following is removed: Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the spring 721 and slider 730 are replaced with a torsion spring as the elastic element 720 to provide torque. One arm of the torsion spring is fitted onto the positioning post 716 of the fixed bracket 710, and the other arm is fitted onto the push rod 230 of the screen assembly 200. Please refer to... Figure 9 During the rotation of the screen assembly 200, the push rod 230 first compresses the torsion spring, which then provides damping to the screen assembly 200. After the screen assembly 200 rotates a certain angle to the third position, the push rod 230 releases the torsion spring, which then provides power to the screen assembly 200, causing it to automatically complete a 90° rotation. This method also ensures that the screen assembly 200 experiences damping before receiving power when switching between portrait and landscape modes.

[0052] In this embodiment, by making the elastic element 720 a torsion spring, the elastic element 720 includes a first swing arm 722 and a second swing arm 723. The first swing arm 722 is connected to the fixed bracket 710, and the second swing arm 723 is connected to the push rod 230. Thus, during the process of the screen assembly 200 rotating from the first position to the third position, the damping force of the screen assembly 200 can gradually increase. Correspondingly, during the process of the screen assembly 200 rotating from the third position to the second position, the elastic module 700 can push the screen assembly 200 to rotate.

[0053] Optionally, please see Figure 2 The screen assembly 200 has a mounting groove 260 on one end face facing the connection area 110. The gear 220 and the push rod 230 protrude from the bottom of the mounting groove 260, and the fixing bracket 710 is housed in the mounting groove 260.

[0054] In the embodiment, the screen assembly 200 is provided with a mounting groove 260 at one end of the screen assembly 200, the gear 220 and the push rod 230 are respectively protruded from the groove bottom of the mounting groove 260, and the fixing support 710 is accommodated in the mounting groove 260. In this way, the distance between the screen assembly 200 and the connecting area 110 can be reduced, and thus the thickness of the gimbal assembly as a whole can be reduced. In addition, since the gear 220, the push rod 230 and the fixing support 710 are all accommodated in the mounting groove 260, the gear 220, the push rod 230 and the fixing support 710 and other structures are prevented from being exposed on the side surface of the gimbal assembly, and thus the appearance of the gimbal assembly as a whole can be improved.

[0055] Optionally, the mounting groove 260 is a sector-shaped groove, the gear 220 is located at a region where a top corner of the sector-shaped groove is located, and the push rod 230 is arranged in a spaced manner with the gear 220 and located between the gear 220 and a curved inner wall of the sector-shaped groove.

[0056] During the rotation of the screen assembly 200 relative to the handle part 100, the connecting area 110 always blocks the slot opening of the mounting groove 260.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the radius of the sector-shaped groove is smaller than the width of the connecting area 110, and the gear 220 is directed towards one side edge of the connecting area 110 as much as possible. In this way, during the rotation of the screen assembly 200 relative to the handle part 100, the connecting area 110 can always block the slot opening of the mounting groove 260.

[0058] It can be understood that, during the rotation of the screen assembly 200 relative to the handle part 100, the fixing support 710 will not interfere with the slot wall of the sector-shaped groove.

[0059] In the embodiment, the gear 220 is located at a region where a top corner of the sector-shaped groove is located, the push rod 230 is arranged in a spaced manner with the gear 220 and located between the gear 220 and a curved inner wall of the sector-shaped groove. In this way, during the selection of the screen assembly 200, the distance between the gear 220 and the push rod 230 in the width direction can be changed constantly, so as to realize the compression and release of the elastic member 720. At the same time, during the rotation of the screen assembly 200 relative to the handle part 100, the connecting area 110 always blocks the slot opening of the mounting groove 260, so as to avoid the slot opening of the mounting groove 260 from being exposed on the back surface of the gimbal assembly during the selection of the screen assembly 200, and thus the appearance of the gimbal assembly as a whole can be further improved.

[0060] Optionally, the fixing support 710 is provided with a plurality of supporting protrusions 718 on the end face of the one end of the groove bottom of the mounting groove 260, the plurality of supporting protrusions 718 are arranged along the edges of the fixing support 710, and the fixing support 710 is in contact with the groove bottom of the mounting groove 260 through the plurality of supporting protrusions 718.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the above-mentioned supporting protrusions 718 can be four, and the four supporting protrusions 718 are respectively located at the four corners of the fixing support 710. Among them, the supporting protrusions 718 can be protrusions formed of wear-resistant materials, or the surfaces of the supporting protrusions 718 can be coated with wear-resistant layers.

[0062] In this embodiment, by providing the fixing support 710 with a plurality of supporting protrusions 718 on the end face of the one end of the groove bottom of the mounting groove 260, the plurality of supporting protrusions 718 are arranged along the edges of the fixing support 710, and the fixing support 710 is in contact with the groove bottom of the mounting groove 260 through the plurality of supporting protrusions 718. In this way, the supporting protrusions 718 can be used to support the screen assembly 200, and by providing the supporting protrusions 718, the friction between the screen assembly 200 and the fixing support 710 during movement can be reduced, so that the movement is smoother.

[0063] Optionally, the fixing support 710 comprises an extension 712 extending from one side of the strip-shaped tooth portion 711, the extension 712 and the strip-shaped tooth portion 711 are arranged in a stacked manner along the thickness direction of the fixing support 710, and the extension 712 is provided with a strip-shaped hole 713, the length direction of the strip-shaped hole 713 is the same as the length direction of the strip-shaped tooth portion 711.

[0064] The gear 220 is arranged in the strip-shaped hole 713, the side of the gear 220 opposite to the strip-shaped tooth portion 711 is attached to the inner wall of the strip-shaped hole 713, and the gear 220 can move along the length direction of the strip-shaped hole 713.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, one side of the gear 220 is engaged with the strip-shaped tooth portion 711, and the side of the gear 220 opposite to the strip-shaped tooth portion 711 is attached to the hole wall of the strip-shaped hole 713, so that the stable engagement state of the gear 220 and the strip-shaped tooth portion 711 can be ensured.

[0066] It can be understood that in the process that the gear 220 moves along the length direction of the strip-shaped hole 713, the gear 220 also rotates relative to the strip-shaped hole 713.
