Description

Technical Field

[0002] Photographic equipment connection devices are commonly used in photography and videography activities. They are mainly used to fix photographic equipment such as cameras or camcorders in appropriate positions and allow the photographic equipment to be adjusted at various angles to achieve the best shooting effect. Photographic equipment connection devices can be installed on external support devices such as tripods and brackets to ensure the stability of photographic equipment. The two are used together to improve the quality of shooting.

[0003] As a commonly used device for connecting photographic equipment, pan / tilt heads can be generally divided into two types according to their adjustment methods: manual adjustment and electric adjustment. Manual adjustment pan / tilt heads are equipped with mechanical devices such as knobs, levers or rockers, which can change the angle and direction of the camera by driving the mechanical devices with external force, but the adjustment driven by external force is generally laborious, while electric adjustment pan / tilt heads use motors to achieve precise angle and direction adjustment, without the operator having to spend effort to change the angle and direction of the camera.

[0004] The related technology provides an electric adjustment gimbal, whose solution is: the motor and the gimbal are integrated, and the motor installed inside the gimbal directly drives the gimbal to adjust the angle and direction. Since the motor has a power-off self-locking mechanism, the gimbal cannot be driven by external force to change the angle and direction after the motor is powered off, which affects the convenience of using the gimbal.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The utility model provides a photographic equipment connection device, comprising:

[0032] A mounting member 1, one end of which is used to provide a mounting location for the photographic equipment 100;

[0033] A rotating member 2, one end of the rotating member 2 is rotatably connected to the other end of the mounting member 1;

[0034] A bearing member 3, one end of the bearing member 3 is rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating member 2, and the other end of the bearing member 3 is used to connect to an external supporting device 200;

[0035] The driving component 4 can be detachably mounted on at least one of the rotating component 2, the mounting component 1 and the supporting component 3 to drive at least one of the rotating component 2, the mounting component 1 and the supporting component 3 to drive the photographic equipment 100 to move so as to adjust the shooting angle and / or shooting direction of the photographic equipment 100.

[0036] In this embodiment, the present application scheme realizes multi-angle and multi-directional adjustment of photographic equipment by setting a mounting member 1, a rotating member 2 and a bearing member 3 to be connected to each other, and by setting a driving component 4 for electric or mechanical driving. The mounting member 1 provides a fixed position for the photographic equipment 100, and the rotating member 2 is respectively connected to the mounting member 1 and the bearing member 3 by rotation. The bearing member 3 can be connected to an external support device 200, and the external support device 200 can be a tripod, a support frame and other equipment. The driving component 4 can be detachably mounted on at least one of the mounting member 1, the rotating member 2 and the bearing member 3, and drives these components to move by electric or mechanical means, thereby adjusting the shooting angle and / or shooting direction of the photographic equipment 100.

[0037] In the present application, the installation method of the drive assembly 4 has the following configuration forms:

[0038] When the number of the driving assembly 4 is set to one, the driving assembly 4 can be detachably mounted on the mounting member 1 or the rotating member 2 or the bearing member 3, wherein:

[0039] When the driving component 4 is detachably mounted on the mounting member 1 , the driving component 4 can drive the mounting member 1 to rotate relative to the rotating member 2 , or drive the mounting member 1 to rotate relative to the supporting member 3 , so as to adjust the shooting angle and / or shooting direction of the photographic equipment 100 .

[0040] When the driving assembly 4 is detachably mounted on the rotating member 2 , the driving assembly 4 can drive the mounting member 1 to rotate relative to the rotating member 2 , or drive the rotating member 2 to rotate relative to the supporting member 3 , so as to adjust the shooting angle and / or shooting direction of the photographic equipment 100 .

[0041] When the driving assembly 4 is detachably mounted on the bearing member 3 , the driving assembly 4 can drive the mounting member 1 to rotate relative to the rotating member 2 or the bearing member 3 , or the driving assembly 4 can drive the rotating member 2 to rotate relative to the bearing member 3 .

[0042] When the number of driving components 4 is set to two, taking the example that both driving components 4 are installed on the rotating component 2, one of the two driving components 4 drives the installation component 1 to rotate relative to the rotating component 2, and the other of the two driving components 4 drives the rotating component 2 to rotate relative to the supporting component 3. The two driving components 4 can be responsible for adjusting the shooting angle and shooting direction of the photographic equipment 100 respectively.

[0043] Before use, the photographic equipment connection device proposed in the present application solution can fix the photographic equipment 100 on one end of the mounting member 1, and can connect the other end of the bearing member 3 to the external support device 200, and the external support device 200 provides a stable support for the photographic equipment 100. One end of the rotating member 2 is rotatably connected to the other end of the mounting member 1. The other end of the rotating member 2 is rotatably connected to one end of the bearing member 3. The driving assembly 4 is installed on at least one of the mounting member 1, the rotating member 2 and the bearing member 3.

[0044] When in use, the driving assembly 4 can be started by remote control or button, and the driving assembly 4 drives at least one of the mounting member 1, the rotating member 2 and the bearing member 3, and the driven member drives the photographic equipment 100 to move, thereby adjusting the shooting angle and / or shooting direction of the photographic equipment 100. If a fault occurs during use or the power is cut off, the motor of the driving assembly 4 is powered off, and the driving assembly 4 can be quickly disassembled and assembled to separate it from the mounted member, that is, it is not connected to any member, so as to avoid the motor of the driving assembly 4 being blocked from rotating when the motor is powered off and locked.

[0045] After separation, the mounting component 1, the rotating component 2 or the supporting component 3 can be manually adjusted by external force to change the shooting angle and shooting direction of the photographic equipment. In some embodiments, the convenience of manual adjustment can be increased by adding a handle for the operator to use. The handle can be set on the rotating component 2 and / or the mounting component 1. The user can hold the handle and apply external force to the handle to drive the mounting component 1 and / or the rotating component 2 to rotate relative to the supporting component 3 to achieve the effect of manually adjusting the shooting angle and / or shooting direction of the photographic equipment 100.

[0046] The present application achieves the following effects by providing the photographic equipment connection device of the above structure:

[0047] When the motor is powered off, the drive component 4 can be quickly disassembled and separated from the mounting component 1, the rotating component 2 or the load-bearing component 3. After separation, the user can use external force to move any one of the mounting component 1, the rotating component 2 or the load-bearing component 3 relative to at least one of the other two components, thereby realizing manual adjustment operation in the event of a power outage, and avoiding the problem that the driving component 4 locks the component so that it cannot rotate relative to other components when the motor is powered off, resulting in the inability to adjust the shooting angle and / or shooting direction of the photographic equipment 100.

[0048] In summary, the present application scheme automatically adjusts the shooting angle and position of the photographic equipment by setting the mounting member 1, the rotating member 2 and the bearing member 3 to be connected to each other, and by setting the driving assembly 4 to electrically or mechanically drive the member movement. The driving assembly 4 can be detachably mounted on at least one of the mounting member 1, the rotating member 2 and the bearing member 3. When the motor is powered off, the driving assembly can be detached. At this time, any one of the mounting member 1, the rotating member 2 or the bearing member 3 can be driven by external force to move relative to at least one of the other two members, so as to manually change the shooting angle and shooting direction of the photographic equipment.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the driving assembly 4 proposed in the embodiments of the utility model includes a first driving member 41, the rotating member 2 includes a first rotating part 21, the mounting member 1 includes a second rotating part 11, the first rotating part 21 is rotatably connected to the second rotating part 11, and the output end of the first driving member 41 is connected to the first rotating part 21 or the second rotating part 11 to drive the mounting member 1 to perform a pitch rotation motion relative to the rotating member 2 to adjust the pitch angle of the photographic equipment 100.

[0050] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 4 proposed in the present application scheme drives the rotating member 2 or drives the mounting member 1 through the first driving member 41, so that the mounting member 1 performs pitch rotational motion relative to the rotating member 2. Specifically, the output end of the first driving member 41 is connected to the first rotating part 21 or the second rotating part 11, and the mounting member 1 adjusts the pitch angle relative to the rotating member 2 by applying a driving force.

[0051] Specifically, the working process of the driving component 4 of the present application solution is:

[0052] The first driving member 41 is activated, and a driving force is applied to drive one of the first rotating portion 21 and the second rotating portion 11 to rotate relative to the other, so that a relative pitch angle rotation movement is generated between the first rotating portion 21 and the second rotating portion 11. That is, the driving force of the first driving member 41 causes the mounting member 1 to perform a pitch rotation movement relative to the rotating member 2. The pitch angle of the photographic equipment 100 is adjusted to achieve a desired shooting angle.

[0053] The present application achieves the following effects by setting up the photographic equipment connection device of the above structure: the pitch rotation between the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 is driven by the first driving member 41, so that the pitch direction of the photographic equipment is realized, and the pitch angle of shooting can be accurately controlled.

[0054] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments, the rotating member 2 proposed in the embodiment of the utility model includes a first connecting portion 22, the first connecting portion 22 is located between the two ends of the rotating member 2, and the first driving member 41 is constructed with a first mounting portion 411, and the first mounting portion 411 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 22.

[0055] In this embodiment, the rotating member 2 proposed in the present application scheme is provided with a first connecting portion 22, and the first driving member 41 is provided with a first mounting portion 411 corresponding to the first connecting portion 22. The first mounting portion 411 and the first connecting portion 22 can be connected in the form of a quick disassembly structure. For example, the first mounting portion 411 and the first connecting portion 22 can be fixed together by screwing, snapping or sleeve locking. Specifically, the first connecting portion 22 is a standard rod, and the first mounting portion 411 is an example of a tightenable pipe opening opened on the shell of the first driving member 41. When in use, the user can insert the standard rod into the tightenable pipe opening, and then tighten the pipe opening by screw locking or pipe clamping to make the first mounting portion 411 and the first connecting portion 22 relatively fixed. It should be noted that the standard rod is a standard connecting rod commonly used in the photography industry, and its specifications include but are not limited to 5mm rods, 10mm rods and 15mm rods.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 22 can be integrally formed with the rotating component 2, or can be integrally detachably connected to the rotating component 2. In the detachable connection setting, different specifications of rotating components 2 can be replaced to adapt to first driving components 41 with different installation specifications. For example, when a high-torque driving component with greater torque and lower speed is replaced as the first driving component 41, it can be adapted by replacing the first connecting portion 22 with corresponding specifications.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second rotating part 11 proposed in the embodiments of the utility model includes a mounting structure 110, a rotating structure 111 and a first transmission structure 112, the mounting structure 110 is fixedly connected to the peripheral wall of the rotating structure 111, the rotating structure 111 is rotatably connected to the first rotating part 21 on the side facing the first rotating part 21, the first transmission structure 112 is arranged at one end of the rotating structure 111 facing away from the first rotating part 21, and the first transmission structure 112 is used to connect the output end of the first driving member 41.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second rotating part 11 proposed in the present application scheme is composed of a mounting structure 110, a rotating structure 111 and a first transmission structure 112. The mounting structure 110 is fixedly connected to the peripheral wall of the rotating structure 111, and the two can be integrally formed and manufactured to ensure the stability and reliability of the overall structure. One side of the rotating structure 111 is rotationally connected to the first rotating part 21. The first transmission structure 112 is arranged on the side of the rotating structure 111 facing away from the first rotating part 21, and is used to connect the output end of the first driving member 41. The first driving member 41 transmits the driving force to the rotating structure 111 through the first transmission structure 112, thereby realizing the pitch rotation movement.

[0059] The working principle of the second rotating part 11 in the present application is:

[0060] Before using the photographic equipment connection device of the present application, the output end of the first driving member 41 is connected to the first transmission structure 112. Then the first driving member 41 is started, and the started first driving member 41 outputs power, which is transmitted to the rotating structure 111 through the first transmission structure 112. Due to the rotational connection between the rotating structure 111 and the first rotating part 21, the second rotating part 11 pitches and rotates relative to the first rotating part 21, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the photographic equipment 100 installed on the mounting member 1.

[0061] The present application achieves the following effects by providing the second rotating part 11 of the above structure:

[0062] The first driving member 41 can efficiently transmit the driving force through the first transmission structure 112, making the pitch adjustment process convenient and fast, reducing the complexity and time cost of manual adjustment. The flexible connection between the rotating structure 111 and the first rotating part 21 makes the adjustment range of the pitch angle wider, adapting to various shooting needs, and improving the practicality and adaptability of the device. In addition, the modular design of each structural component makes disassembly and maintenance simple, and users can easily replace and maintain components, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0063] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first transmission structure 112 proposed in the embodiment of the utility model includes a first ring gear 1121, which is arranged along the entire circumferential wall of the first rotating part 21, and the output end of the first driving member 41 is connected to the first gear 412, which is meshedly connected to the first ring gear 1121.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first transmission structure 112 proposed in the present application scheme realizes the transmission of driving force through gear meshing transmission. The first gear ring 1121 is arranged along the entire circumferential wall of the first rotating part 21, providing a 360-degree meshing connection surface. The output end of the first driving member 41 is connected to the first gear 412. When the first driving member 41 is started, the first gear 412 rotates and meshes with the first gear ring 1121, thereby transmitting the driving force to the rotating structure 111 to realize its rotational movement.

[0065] The working principle of the first transmission structure 112 proposed in the present application is:

[0066] The first driving member 41 is started to rotate the first gear 412 at its output end. The first gear 412 meshes with the first gear ring 1121. The first gear 412 transmits the driving force output by the first driving member 41 to the first gear ring 1121 through gear transmission. The first gear 412 drives the first gear ring 1121 meshed with it to rotate together. Since the first gear ring 1121 is fixed on the rotating structure 111, the rotating structure 111 rotates relative to the first rotating part 21 under the action of gear transmission, that is, the pitch rotation movement of the second rotating part 11 relative to the first rotating part 21 is realized. The rotation speed and direction of the first driving member 41 can also be adjusted to accurately control the rotation speed and pitch angle of the photographic equipment 100 installed on the mounting member 1.

[0067] The present application achieves the following effects by setting the first transmission structure 112 of the above structure:

[0068] First, the gear meshing transmission efficiency is high, which can quickly transmit the driving force, realize the rapid response of the rotating structure, and improve the adjustment speed.

[0069] Secondly, the gear transmission system has a high transmission accuracy. The meshing of the first gear 412 and the first gear ring 1121 makes the adjustment of the pitch angle more precise, which can meet the needs of high-precision shooting.

[0070] Thirdly, the gear meshing transmission structure is stable, which reduces the slippage or looseness that may occur during the transmission process, ensuring that the photographic equipment remains stable during the adjustment process and improving the shooting quality.

[0071] Fourthly, the first gear ring 1121 is arranged along the entire circumferential wall, so that the rotating structure 111 can be adjusted within a range of 360 degrees, providing greater flexibility and adaptability.

[0072] Fifth, it is easy to disassemble. The gear meshing structure is simple in design, and the installation and disassembly process is quick. Compared with other connection methods such as worm connection and belt connection, users can disassemble and maintain the equipment more easily, and it is convenient to replace or adjust the transmission components.

[0073] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the driving assembly 4 proposed in the embodiments of the utility model includes a second driving member 42, which can be detachably installed on one of the rotating member 2 and the bearing member 3. The other of the rotating member 2 and the bearing member 3 is provided with a second transmission structure 31. The output end of the second driving member 42 is connected to the second transmission structure 31 to drive the rotating member 2 to rotate horizontally relative to the bearing member 3 to adjust the horizontal orientation of the photographic equipment 100.

[0074] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 4 proposed in the present application includes a second driving member 42, which is detachably mounted on one of the rotating member 2 and the bearing member 3, and the other of the rotating member 2 and the bearing member 3 is provided with a second transmission structure 31. The output end of the second driving member 42 is connected to the second transmission structure 31, and the rotating member 2 is driven to perform horizontal rotation relative to the bearing member 3. The rotating member 2 that performs horizontal rotation relative to the bearing member 3 drives the mounting member 1 connected to the rotating member 2 to perform horizontal rotation, thereby adjusting the horizontal orientation of the photographic equipment 100 connected to the mounting member 1. This allows the photographic equipment to flexibly adjust its direction in the horizontal plane, thereby improving the diversity and accuracy of shooting. In some embodiments, the second driving member 42 of the present application can be set simultaneously with the first driving member 41, and work together to achieve an adjustment scheme for the pitch angle and horizontal orientation of the photographic equipment.

[0075] The working process of the second driving member 42 proposed in the present application is as follows:

[0076] The second driving member 42 is started to generate driving force at its output end, which is transmitted to the rotating member 2 or the bearing member 3 through the second transmission structure 31, driving one of the two to move relative to the other, so that the rotating member 2 rotates horizontally relative to the bearing member 3, and the horizontal orientation of the photographic equipment 100 is adjusted.

[0077] The present application achieves the following effects by providing the second driving member 42 of the above structure:

[0078] Firstly, through the design of the second driving member 42 and the second transmission structure 31, the flexible adjustment of the horizontal orientation of the photographic equipment is achieved, and the horizontal orientation of the photographic equipment can be accurately adjusted to meet the requirements of different shooting angles.

[0079] Secondly, the detachable design of the second driving member 42 and the second transmission structure 31 enables the driving components to be quickly installed and disassembled, thereby improving the convenience of use and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0080] Thirdly, in some embodiments, the shooting flexibility can be enhanced by cooperating with the first driving member 41. By adjusting the pitch rotation and horizontal rotation, the photographic equipment can quickly adapt to different pitch shooting angles and scene changes, thereby improving the shooting flexibility.

[0081] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the rotating member 2 proposed in the embodiment of the utility model includes a second connecting portion 23, the second connecting portion 23 is located between the two ends of the rotating member 2, and the second driving member 42 is constructed with a second mounting portion 421, and the second mounting portion 421 is detachably connected to the second connecting portion 23.

[0082] In this embodiment, the rotating member 2 proposed in the present application scheme is provided with a second connecting portion 23, and the second driving member 42 is provided with a second mounting portion 421 corresponding to the second connecting portion 23. The second mounting portion 421 and the second connecting portion 23 can be connected in the form of a quick disassembly structure. For example, the second mounting portion 421 and the second connecting portion 23 can be fixed together by screwing, snapping or sleeve locking. Specifically, the second connecting portion 23 is a standard rod, and the second mounting portion 421 is an example of a tightenable pipe opening opened on the shell of the first driving member 41. When in use, the user can insert the standard rod into the tightenable pipe opening, and then tighten the pipe opening by screw locking or pipe clamping to make the second mounting portion 421 and the second connecting portion 23 relatively fixed. It should be noted that the standard rod is a common connecting rod in the photography industry standard, and its specifications include but are not limited to 5mm rods, 10mm rods and 15mm rods.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second connecting portion 23 can be integrally formed with the rotating component 2, or can be integrally detachably connected to the rotating component 2. In the detachable connection setting, different specifications of rotating components 2 can be replaced to adapt to second driving components 42 with different installation specifications. For example, when a high-torque driving component with greater torque and lower speed is replaced as the second driving component 42, it can be adapted by replacing the second connecting portion 23 with corresponding specifications.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first driving member 41 as described in the aforementioned embodiments is disposed on the rotating member 2, and the second driving member 42 proposed in the present application also needs to be disposed on the rotating member 2. Then, the second mounting portion 421 needs to be spaced apart or staggered from the first mounting portion 411 to avoid mutual interference.

[0085] Please continue to refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the second transmission structure 31 proposed in the embodiment of the utility model includes a second gear ring 311, which is arranged around the entire circumferential wall of the load-bearing member 3 in a direction horizontal to the load-bearing member 3, and the output end of the second driving member 42 is connected to the second gear 422, which is meshingly connected to the second gear ring 311.

[0086] In this embodiment, the second transmission structure 31 proposed in the present application scheme realizes the transmission of driving force through the gear meshing transmission of the second gear ring 311 and the second gear 422 thereon. The second gear ring 311 is fixedly arranged around the entire circumferential wall of the bearing member 3 in a direction horizontal to the bearing member 3. The output end of the second driving member 42 is connected to the second gear 422. When the second driving member 42 is started, the second gear 422 meshes with the second gear ring 311 and rotates, thereby driving the rotating member 2 to rotate relative to the bearing member 3, thereby realizing the adjustment of the horizontal orientation of the photographic equipment.

[0087] Specifically, the effect of the second driving member 42 of the present application scheme is explained by taking the state where the bearing member 3 is fixed relative to the external support device 200 as an example: the second driving member 42 is started, and the second gear 422 at its output end starts to rotate. Since the second gear 422 is meshed with the second gear ring 311, the second gear 422 rotates along the track of the fixed second gear ring 311. Since the bearing member 3 is fixedly connected to the external support device 200 and remains stationary, the second gear 422 meshes and rotates on the second gear ring 311, driving the rotating member 2 to rotate relative to the bearing member 3. This self-rotation movement allows the horizontal orientation of the photographic equipment 100 mounted on the rotating member 2 to be adjusted.

[0088] The present application achieves the following effects by setting the second transmission structure 31 of the above structure:

[0089] Through the gear meshing transmission of the second gear ring 311 and the second gear 422, precise adjustment of the photographic equipment in the horizontal plane is achieved, and the horizontal direction of the photographic equipment can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of different shooting angles.

[0090] In summary, the second transmission structure 31 in this embodiment achieves efficient, stable and precise horizontal rotation adjustment of the rotating member 2 relative to the bearing member 3 through the reasonable design of the second gear ring 311 and the meshing transmission of the second gear 422 .

[0091] Reference Figure 5In some embodiments, the photographic equipment connection device proposed in the embodiments of the utility model further includes a locking mechanism 5, which is disposed on the first rotating part 21 or the second rotating part 11. The locking mechanism 5 is used to drive one of the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 to move toward or away from the other, so that the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 are abutted and matched to prevent the two from rotating relative to each other.

[0092] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 5 is disposed on the first rotating part 21 or the second rotating part 11, and is used to drive one of the rotating parts to move toward or away from the other rotating part. Through this movement, the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 are abutted and matched, thereby preventing the two from rotating relative to each other.

[0093] When the motor is powered off during use, when manually adjusting the components to adjust the pitch angle of the photographic equipment, due to the influence of the photographic equipment's own weight, if the first driving member 41 is directly removed, the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 will rotate relative to each other under the influence of the photographic equipment's own weight, so the locking mechanism 5 is required to drive the two to abut and cooperate to prevent the two from rotating relative to each other.

[0094] That is, when the angle and position of the photographic equipment need to be fixed, the locking mechanism 5 is activated. The locking mechanism 5 drives the first rotating part 21 or the second rotating part 11 to move toward each other, so that the two rotating parts abut against each other. The first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 abut against each other to prevent the two from rotating relative to each other, thereby locking the current pitch angle of the photographic equipment.

[0095] When the angle and position of the photographic equipment need to be adjusted, the locking mechanism 5 is unlocked. The locking mechanism 5 drives the first rotating part 21 or the second rotating part 11 to move away from each other to release the abutment state. The first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 are relatively free to rotate, allowing the angle and position of the photographic equipment to be adjusted.

[0096] The present application achieves the following effects by setting the locking mechanism 5 of the above structure:

[0097] First, the locking mechanism 5 can enhance stability by abutting against the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 to effectively prevent the two from rotating relative to each other, thereby stably fixing the angle and position of the photographic equipment and avoiding accidental movement or shaking during shooting.

[0098] Second, the unlocking operation is simple and quick. Users can quickly lock or unlock, saving adjustment time and improving operating efficiency.

[0099] Third, the locking mechanism 5 provides a flexible and reliable manual adjustment method to control and fix the angle and position of the photographic equipment. When used in conjunction with the drive assembly 4, it can adapt to various shooting requirements and ensure the reliability and stability of the equipment during the shooting process.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the driving assembly 4 is in use, the two rotating parts of the locking mechanism 5 can also be driven to approach each other but not completely abut each other to change the rotational friction between the two rotating parts. When the rotational friction needs to be adjusted, the locking mechanism 5 is started to bring the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 closer to each other. The locking mechanism 5 is controlled to bring the two rotating parts closer but not completely abut each other, thereby increasing the friction between the rotating parts, and the locking mechanism 5 is fine-tuned as needed to achieve the required rotational friction. At this time, the self-locking ability of the motor of the first driving member 41 can be relied on to maintain the pitch angle of the photographic equipment.

[0101] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 5 proposed in the embodiment of the utility model includes a clamping portion 51 and a rod portion 52, the clamping portion 51 is arranged at the first end of the rod portion 52, the first rotating portion 21 is provided with a through hole, and the second rotating portion 11 is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the through hole, the clamping portion 51 is located on the side of the second rotating portion 11 facing away from the first rotating portion 21, the second end of the rod portion 52 is passed through the through hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the clamping portion 51 is used for being driven by external force to abut against or away from the second rotating portion 11.

[0102] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 5 proposed in the present application scheme realizes the locking or friction adjustment of the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 through the design of the clamping part 51 and the rod part 52. The clamping part 51 is arranged at the first end of the rod part 52, the first rotating part 21 is provided with a through hole, and the second rotating part 11 is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the through hole. The clamping part 51 is located on the side of the second rotating part 11 facing away from the first rotating part 21, and the second end of the rod part 52 is penetrated through the through hole and is threadedly connected with the threaded hole. By driving the clamping part 51 by external force, it can be made to abut against or away from the second rotating part 11, thereby adjusting the locking state or friction between the two rotating parts.

[0103] When the angle and position of the photographic equipment need to be locked, the pressing part 51 is driven by rotating the rod 52. The rotating rod 52 causes its threaded connection portion to move the pressing part 51 toward the second rotating part 11. The pressing part 51 abuts against the second rotating part 11, so that the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 are tightly matched, thereby locking the relative position of the two and preventing any relative rotation.

[0104] When the friction between the rotating parts needs to be adjusted, the position of the pressing part 51 is adjusted by appropriately rotating the rod 52. The distance between the pressing part 51 and the second rotating part 11 is controlled so that they are close but not completely in contact, thereby increasing the friction between the two. The position of the pressing part 51 is fine-tuned as needed to achieve the required friction and provide an appropriate damping effect.

[0105] When the angle and position of the photographic equipment need to be adjusted, the rod 52 is rotated to move the pressing part 51 away from the second rotating part 11. The abutting state of the pressing part 51 is released, and the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 11 are relatively free to rotate, allowing the angle and position of the photographic equipment to be adjusted.

[0106] In summary, the locking mechanism 5 provides flexible locking and friction adjustment functions through the design of the pressing portion 51 and the rod portion 52, and can quickly lock or adjust the friction between the rotating parts according to needs.
