Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical instrument technology, and in particular to an image stabilization device for optical instruments. Background Technology

[0002] Optical instruments are composed of one or more optical components. During the use and calibration of optical instruments, it is sometimes necessary to use specific corresponding imaging devices. When using imaging devices, it is necessary to use relevant stabilizing devices to fix them in order to achieve stable imaging and recognition.

[0003] Existing image stabilization devices for optical instruments typically employ a tripod or support platform structure. Multiple support arms unfold to form a stable base, the height is adjusted via a lifting column, and finally, a clamping mechanism secures the imaging equipment. Some devices are also equipped with level detection or vibration monitoring modules to assist in determining the stability of the equipment, thereby improving image quality and calibration accuracy.

[0004] However, existing image stabilization devices for optical instruments require staff to readjust the tripod setup when adjusting the orientation and angle of the image equipment, which is quite cumbersome in actual use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an image stabilization device for optical instruments, aiming to solve the technical problem that existing image stabilization devices for optical instruments require operators to readjust the tripod setup when adjusting the orientation and angle of the image device during actual use, which is quite cumbersome.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an image stabilization device for optical instruments, comprising a tripod support, a height-adjustable column, a base, a clamping mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism. The top of the tripod support is provided with a mounting plate, the bottom of the height-adjustable column is connected to the mounting plate, the top of the height-adjustable column is provided with the base, and the clamping mechanism is provided on the base. The clamping mechanism is used to fix the image device. The adjustment mechanism includes a horizontal drive assembly, a transmission gear ring, an angle adjustment assembly, and a transmission gear.

The horizontal drive assembly is installed inside the mounting seat. The transmission gear ring is mounted on the rotating disk, and the output end of the horizontal drive assembly is mechanically driven by the transmission gear ring. The mounting support is mounted on the upper surface of the rotating disk. The rotating component is mounted on the mounting support via a rotating shaft. The angle adjustment assembly is also mounted on the side of the mounting support. The transmission gear is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the output end of the angle adjustment assembly is mechanically driven by the transmission gear. The clamping mechanism is mounted on the mounting components.

[0007] The horizontal drive assembly includes a first servo motor and a drive gear. The first servo motor is installed inside the mounting base, and the drive gear is provided at the output end of the first servo motor. The drive gear meshes with the transmission gear ring.

[0008] The rotating disk has an embedded ring on the side near the mounting base. The embedded ring is embedded inside the rotating bearing, and the transmission gear ring is mounted on the inner side wall of the embedded ring.

[0009] The angle adjustment assembly includes a second servo motor, a gear reducer, and an output gear. A mounting block is provided on the side of the mounting bracket.

[0013] The mounting base has a heat dissipation groove on its side, which corresponds to the first servo motor.

[0014] The number of teeth on the output gear is less than the number of teeth on the transmission gear ring.

[0015] This invention discloses an image stabilization device for optical instruments, comprising a tripod support, a height-adjustable column, a base, a clamping mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a horizontal drive assembly, a transmission gear ring, an angle adjustment assembly, and a transmission gear. The base includes a base plate, a mounting seat, a rotating disk, a mounting bracket, and mounting components. Activating the horizontal drive assembly causes the rotating disk to rotate at the top of the mounting seat via the transmission gear ring, thereby adjusting the horizontal orientation of the image device.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] First embodiment: Please see Figures 1 to 3 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the image stabilization device for optical instruments according to the first embodiment. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A magnified view of the local structure at point A. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the partially disassembled structure of the base in the first embodiment.

[0025] This invention provides an image stabilization device for optical instruments, comprising a tripod support 101, a height-adjustable column 102, a base, a clamping mechanism 103, and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a horizontal drive assembly, a transmission gear ring 104, an angle adjustment assembly, and a transmission gear 105. The base includes a base plate 106, a mounting base 107, a rotating disk 108, a mounting support 109, and mounting components. The horizontal drive assembly includes a first servo motor 110 and a drive gear 111. The angle adjustment assembly includes a second servo motor 112, a gear reducer 113, and an output gear 114. The mounting components include a flip arm 115 and a top plate 116. This solution solves the problem that existing image stabilization devices for optical instruments require manual readjustment of the tripod setup when adjusting the orientation and angle of the image device 118, which is cumbersome. Therefore, this solution can be applied to the structure of image stabilization devices for optical instruments.

[0026] In this specific embodiment, the top of the tripod support frame 101 is provided with a mounting plate 117, the bottom of the height-adjustable column 102 is connected to the mounting plate 117, the top of the height-adjustable column 102 is provided with a base, and the clamping mechanism 103 is provided on the base. The clamping mechanism 103 is used to fix the image device 118. The tripod support frame 101 provides stable basic support, the height-adjustable column 102 can adjust the working height, and the clamping mechanism 103 firmly fixes the image device 118, thereby achieving stable support and positioning of the image device 118. Here, the structures of the tripod support frame 101, the height-adjustable column 102, and the clamping mechanism 103 are all conventional structures in the prior art, so they will not be described in detail in this technical solution.

[0027] The base plate 106 is mounted on the top of the height-adjustable column 102. A mounting base 107 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 106. A rotating bearing 119 is provided at the top of the mounting base 107, and a rotating disk 108 is embedded in the rotating bearing 119. The horizontal drive assembly is installed inside the mounting base 107. A transmission gear ring 104 is mounted on the rotating disk 108. The output end of the horizontal drive assembly is mechanically driven by the transmission gear ring 104. A mounting support 109 is mounted on the upper surface of the rotating disk 108. A rotating component is mounted on the mounting support 109 via a rotating shaft 120. The angle adjustment assembly is also mounted on the side of the mounting support 109. A transmission gear 105 is mounted on the rotating shaft 120. The angle... The output end of the adjustment component is mechanically driven by the transmission gear 105. The clamping mechanism 103 is installed on the mounting component. When the horizontal drive component is activated, the rotating disk 108 is driven to rotate at the top of the mounting base 107 through the transmission gear ring 104, thereby adjusting the horizontal orientation of the image device 118. When the angle adjustment component is activated, the rotating shaft 120 is driven to rotate on the mounting support 109 through the transmission gear 105, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the image device 118 through the mounting component. With the above structure, when it is necessary to adjust the orientation and angle of the image device 118, there is no need for the staff to readjust the tripod. The adjustment can be completed simply by operating the horizontal adjustment component and the angle adjustment component, making the operation more convenient.

[0028] Secondly, the first servo motor 110 is installed inside the mounting base 107. The output end of the first servo motor 110 is provided with the drive gear 111. The drive gear 111 meshes with the transmission gear ring 104. When the first servo motor 110 is started, the drive gear 111 is driven to rotate. Since the drive gear 111 meshes with the transmission gear ring 104, the rotating disk 108 is driven to rotate at the top of the mounting base 107.

[0029] Meanwhile, an embedded ring 121 is provided on the side of the rotating disk 108 near the mounting base 107. The embedded ring 121 is embedded into the interior of the rotating bearing 119. The transmission gear ring 104 is installed on the inner side wall of the embedded ring 121. The embedded ring 121 facilitates the installation of the rotating disk 108.

[0030] Additionally, a mounting block 122 is provided on the side of the mounting support 109. The second servo motor 112 is mounted on the mounting block 122. The output end of the second servo motor 112 is provided with the gear reducer 113, and the output end of the gear reducer 113 is provided with the output gear 114. The output gear 114 meshes with the transmission gear 105. When the second servo motor 112 is started, the output speed is reduced by the gear reducer 113, which drives the output gear 114 to rotate. Since the output gear 114 meshes with the transmission gear 105, the rotating shaft 120 is driven to rotate on the mounting support 109.

[0031] Furthermore, one end of the flipping arm 115 is connected to the rotating shaft 120, and the other end of the flipping arm 115 is provided with the top plate 116. The clamping mechanism 103 is provided on the top plate 116. The top plate 116 is fixedly connected to the flipping arm 115. When preparing the mounting part, it is made with one-piece molding technology, which makes the structure more robust.

[0032] Furthermore, a heat dissipation groove 123 is provided on the side of the mounting base 107. The heat dissipation groove 123 corresponds to the first servo motor 110. The heat dissipation groove 123 allows the interior of the mounting base 107 to circulate with the outside air. The flowing air carries away the heat generated by the first servo motor 110 during operation, thus preventing the first servo motor 110 from overheating and being damaged.

[0033] Furthermore, the number of teeth of the output gear 114 is less than the number of teeth of the transmission gear ring 104. The transmission gear ring 104 reduces the output speed of the first servo motor 110, making the adjustment of the orientation of the image device 118 more precise.

[0034] When using the image stabilization device for optical instruments according to this embodiment, the tripod support 101 provides stable foundation support, the height adjustment column 102 adjusts the working height, and the clamping mechanism 103 firmly fixes the image device 118, thereby achieving stable support and positioning of the image device 118. Furthermore, the first servo motor 110 is activated, driving the drive gear 111 to rotate. Since the drive gear 111 meshes with the transmission gear ring 104, it drives the rotating disk 108 to rotate at the top of the mounting base 107, thus completing the horizontal orientation of the image device 118. Adjustment is performed by starting the second servo motor 112. After the output speed is reduced by the gear reducer 113, the output gear 114 is driven to rotate. Since the output gear 114 meshes with the transmission gear 105, the rotating shaft 120 is driven to rotate on the mounting bracket 109. The pitch angle of the image device 118 is adjusted by the mounting component. With the above structure, when it is necessary to adjust the orientation and angle of the image device 118, there is no need for the staff to readjust the tripod. The adjustment can be completed simply by operating the horizontal adjustment component and the angle adjustment component, making the operation more convenient.

[0035] Second embodiment: Based on the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the image stabilization device for optical instruments according to the second embodiment. Figure 5 for Figure 4 A magnified view of the local structure at point B.

[0036] The present invention provides an image stabilization device for optical instruments, which also includes a protective housing 201.

[0037] In this specific embodiment, the mounting block 122 is also provided with a protective shell 201. The protective shell 201 is disposed outside the output gear 114 and the transmission gear 105. By providing the protective shell 201, the external environment is prevented from affecting the meshing of the output gear 114 and the transmission gear 105.

[0038] The protective shell 201 has an injection pipe 202 connected to its side. A sealing plug 203 is provided at the end of the injection pipe 202 away from the protective shell 201. By removing the sealing plug 203, gear lubricating oil can be injected into the interior of the protective shell 201 through the injection pipe 202. The gear lubricating oil reduces the wear of the output gear 114 and the transmission gear 105, thereby improving the service life of the output gear 114 and the transmission gear 105.
