[0038] In view of the technical defects existing in the related art, this embodiment provides a connecting device 100 for connecting a camera stabilizer. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connection device 100 of this embodiment includes a connection seat 110 and a connection ear 120. A support surface is formed on the top of the connection seat 110, and the support surface is used to support the camera stabilizer. Optionally, a first positioning portion 111 is provided on the support surface, and the first positioning portion 111 is used to be plugged and matched with a second positioning portion on the camera stabilizer, so that the camera stabilizer can be stably installed on the connection seat 110.

[0039] The connecting ear 120 is provided with a connecting terminal 130 and a locking member 140. One end of the connecting ear 120 can be movably connected to the connecting base 110, so that the connecting ear 120 can at least move to a first position where the connecting terminal 130 contacts the camera stabilizer mounted on the connecting base 110 and to a second position where the connecting terminal 130 is out of contact with the camera stabilizer mounted on the connecting base 110.

[0040] The connection terminal 130 is used to electrically connect to the power connection part of the camera stabilizer installed on the connection base 110 when the connection ear 120 is in the first position. Exemplarily, the power connection part of the camera stabilizer is an electrode arranged corresponding to the connection terminal 130, and the electrode is electrically connected to the control circuit of the camera stabilizer. The locking member 140 is used to mechanically limit the camera stabilizer installed on the connection base 110 when the connection ear 120 is in the first position, so as to maintain stable contact between the connection terminal 130 and the power connection part of the camera stabilizer. Optionally, the connection terminal 130 can adopt a spring pin (POGOPIN) or a spring sheet, but is not limited to this.

[0041] In an optional example, the entire connecting ear 120 can be made of a flexible material, such as silicone or rubber, so that the free end of the connecting ear 120 can move freely. Therefore, the connecting terminal 130 and the locking member 140 disposed at the free end of the connecting ear 120 can also be connected to or separated from the camera stabilizer installed on the connecting base 110.

[0042] Furthermore, the connection socket 110 is provided with a connection hole 113 for connecting with the handheld device body 210, so that the connection device 100 of this embodiment can be installed on the handheld device. Among them, a circuit board is provided in the connection socket 110, and the circuit board is electrically connected to the connection terminal 130. In addition, when the connection device 100 of this embodiment is installed in the handheld device, the controller of the handheld device is connected to the circuit board in the connection socket 110, so that when the camera stabilizer is installed in the connection socket 110 and the power connection part of the camera stabilizer contacts the connection terminal 130, a wired control is formed between the camera stabilizer and the controller of the handheld device.

[0043] In summary, the connection device 100 of this embodiment can realize wired electrical connection with the camera stabilizer, so the handheld device using the connection device 100 of this embodiment can control the camera stabilizer by wired control, thereby improving the anti-interference performance of external signals. In addition, when the connection device 100 of this embodiment is electrically connected to the camera stabilizer, a mechanical limit is formed with the camera stabilizer through the locking member 140, thereby ensuring the wired connection between the connection device 100 and the camera stabilizer.

[0044] Further, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to enable the connection terminal 130 and the locking member 140 to flexibly approach or move away from the camera stabilizer installed on the connection base 110, one end of the connection ear 120 can be rotatably connected to the side of the connection base 110, so that the connection ear 120 can at least move to the first position and the second position respectively. Preferably, a connection groove 112 is provided on the side of the connection base 110, and the groove wall of the connection groove 112 is provided with an axis hole, and one end of the connection ear 120 is provided with a connection shaft, and the connection shaft can be rotatably connected to the axis hole, so that one end of the connection ear 120 can be rotatably connected to the side of the connection base 110. Of course, according to actual needs, the axis hole can also be provided at one end of the connection ear 120, and the connection shaft is provided on the groove wall of the connection groove 112.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the connecting ear 120 of this embodiment includes a first rod 121 and a second rod 122. One end of the first rod 121 is movably connected to the side of the connecting seat 110, the second rod 122 is bent and arranged at the other end of the first rod 121, and the connecting terminal 130 and the locking member 140 are arranged on the second rod 122. In this embodiment, the second rod 122 is bent and arranged at the other end of the first rod 121, so the entire connecting ear 120 is in a bent shape. Compared with the connecting ear 120 in a straight shape, the connecting ear 120 in a bent shape only needs to be set with a smaller rotation angle range, so that the second rod 122 of the connecting ear 120 can be close to or away from the camera stabilizer installed on the connecting seat 110, which is conducive to reducing the size of the connection port between the connecting ear 120 and the connecting seat 110 and improving the airtightness of the connecting seat 110. Exemplarily, the angle between the first rod 121 and the second rod 122 is greater than 90° and less than 180°. Of course, the connecting ear 120 may also be in a curved shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0046] Furthermore, when the connecting ear 120 is in the first position, the connecting terminal 130 is at least partially exposed on the side of the second rod 122 close to the connecting seat 110, so that when the camera stabilizer is installed on the connecting seat 110, the contact end of the connecting terminal 130 faces the power connection part of the camera stabilizer. Among them, the locking member 140 includes a screw rod 141 and a nut 142. The nut 142 is protruding from one end of the screw rod 141, and the screw rod 141 is connected to the second rod 122. The end of the screw rod 141 away from the nut 142 is used for threaded connection with the camera stabilizer installed on the connecting seat 110 when the connecting ear 120 is in the first position, so that the connecting terminal 130 is in stable contact with the power connection part of the camera stabilizer.

[0047] In some embodiments, a handheld device using the connection device 100 of the above embodiment is also provided. Figure 3 As shown, the handheld device of this embodiment includes a handheld device body 210 and the connecting device 100 of the above embodiment installed on the handheld device body 210. The handheld device body 210 is provided with a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the connecting terminal 130, so as to send a control signal to the camera stabilizer when the connecting terminal 130 is in contact with the power receiving part of the camera stabilizer.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the handheld device body 210 of this embodiment is annular, and the handheld device body 210 includes a control handle 220 and a gripping handle 230 arranged opposite to the control handle 220, and the controller is arranged in the control handle 220, and the control handle 220 has a control button for operating the controller. The handheld device body 210 also includes a first connecting rod 240 connecting the top of the gripping handle 230 and the top of the control handle 220, and a second connecting rod 250 connecting the bottom of the gripping handle 230 and the bottom of the control handle 220. The connecting device 100 is connected to the second connecting rod 250 through the connecting seat 110.

[0049] A wire is inserted into the second connecting rod 250, and two ends of the wire are connected to the controller and the circuit board respectively. Figure 4 As shown, when the camera stabilizer 300 is installed on the connecting seat 110 and the power connection part of the camera stabilizer 300 contacts the connecting terminal 130 , a wired control is formed between the camera stabilizer 300 and the controller of the handheld device, so that the camera stabilizer 300 can be controlled by the control handle 220 .

[0050] The above description is only a partial or preferred embodiment of the present invention. Neither the text nor the drawings can limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
