The pitch motor housing 102 and the side housing 110 are designed as the side housing of the pan / tilt, which play the role of protection, identification, dustproof and waterproof. The front frame 103 and the rear frame 406 are a pair of symmetrical U-shaped plates; the front frame 103 is provided with frame holes 105 for installation, and the frame holes 105 are positioned through the symmetrical holes of the front frame 103 and the rear frame 406.

The mounting holes 201 have two hole positions, which are symmetrically fixed on the rotating disk 107 respectively; the connection seat mounting holes 202 on rectangular plate 1 206 are for connecting the connection seat 1 108 together, so that the connection seat 108 is locked on the rectangular plate 1 206 by screws; the mounting threaded holes 204 on the rectangular plate 1 206 are assembled with the rotating motor inner shell 111 by screws; and a section of the pitch bearing 203 is installed on the connection seat 1 108. The front frame 103 has a motor electrical interface 205, which is located very close to the rotating shaft motor 401, which is convenient for line layout. The rotating disc 107 is fixed with a camera base 207, which is mainly used to fix a camera 209. The camera base 207 is fixed with a focus plate 208, which is installed on the focus plate for use. When shooting, the camera 209 is installed on the camera base 207, and is used together with the camera 209 to facilitate shooting.

[0044] like Figure 3 It is an exploded view of the pitch device, which is composed of a locking block 301, a column screw 302, a sleeve 303, an extension shaft 304, a pitch motor 305, an inner shell 1 306, and a side panel 2 307. In the exploded view, the pitch motor 305 is fixed in the pitch motor inner shell 104, and the extension shaft 304 is fixed at the output shaft end of the pitch motor 305. The sleeve 303 is used to nest the connecting seat 2 109 inside, and is locked by the column screw 302 to prevent slipping and achieve zero clearance during rotation. The locking block 301 locks the sleeve 303, the extension shaft 304, and the fixed connecting seat 2 109 on the same axis. The pitch bearing 203 in the pitch device is kept on the same axis, so that when the pitch motor 305 rotates, the entire frame rotates synchronously, maintaining the overall coordination and avoiding problems such as deviation and asymmetry during shooting.

[0045] like Figure 4It is an exploded view of the rotating device, which is composed of a rotating shaft motor 401, a synchronous belt 402, an output shaft 403, a synchronous wheel 404, an inner housing 405, a rear frame 406, a frame shaft 407, an inner block 408, an axisymmetric disk 409, a rectangular plate 410, and a rotating shaft motor housing 411. The main function of the rotating device is to allow the camera 209 to rotate 360 ​​degrees without restriction, so as to meet the requirements of shooting and designing a rotating shaft. It can be seen from the exploded view that the rotating axis motor 401 is the main output function. The rotating axis motor 401 is fixed on the rectangular plate 410, and the rotating axis motor 401 and the rectangular plate 410 are integrated by installing screws; the internal block 408 is clamped between the front frame 103 and the rear frame 406; the frame shaft 407 is also installed between the front frame 103 and the rear frame 406 to play the role of support, positioning and load-bearing, and there is also an inner shell 405 inside this frame; in the center of the internal block 408, a pitch bearing 203 is installed, and the other end of the pitch bearing 203 is a connecting seat 108. If the pitch bearing 203 is subjected to the movement in the pitch direction, it will also move; the output shaft of the rotating axis motor 401 is connected to the output shaft 403; one end of the output shaft 403 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating axis motor 401, and the other end is connected to the synchronous wheel 404, which ensures that the axis of the output shaft 403 and the synchronous wheel 404 are on the same axis; one end of the synchronous wheel 404 is meshed with the synchronous belt 402, and the synchronous belt 402 is meshed with the rotating disk 107 through teeth, so that the synchronous wheel 404 rotates and drives the disk 107 to rotate, thereby driving the camera on the rotating disk 107 to rotate.

[0046] The overall structure of this product is as follows: the rear frame 406 and the front frame 103 constitute the entire frame frame, and there are multiple frame shafts 407 and internal blocks 408 inside the entire frame to support and position the frame. The overall package uses shells: the pitch motor shell 102, the pitch motor inner shell 104, the side shell 110, the rotation motor inner shell 111, the inner shell 1 306, and the inner shell 2 405. Among them, the pitch motor shell 102, the pitch motor inner shell 104, and the inner shell 1 306 protect the pitch axis motor 305; the rotation motor inner shell 111 and the rotation axis motor shell 411 protect the rotation axis motor 401; the side shell 110 plays a role in peripheral protection; in order to keep the camera in the center position and to maintain the center of the whole, the side Plate 2 307, side panel 1 101, rectangular plate 1 206, and rectangular plate 2 410 are all symmetrically fixed on the rotating disk 107 and the axially symmetrical disk 409; side panel 2 307, side panel 1 101, locking block 301, column head screw 302, bushing 303, extension shaft 304, pitch axis motor 305, and connecting seat 2 109 constitute the pitch motion; rectangular plate 1 206, rectangular plate 2 410, rotating axis motor 401, synchronous belt 402, output shaft 403, synchronous wheel 404, frame shaft 407, and internal block 408 constitute the rotating structure.

[0047] The working principle of this product: through the overall frame fixation, the pitch axis motor 305 can realize the up and down tilt of the camera 209, and the rotating axis motor 401 can realize the rotation of the camera 209, making the shooting picture more vivid. This working principle is that when the shooting needs to be rotated, when the angle and speed of the shooting are triggered to the motor, the rotating axis motor 401 is transmitted to the synchronous wheel 404 through the output shaft 403, and the synchronous wheel 404 drives the rotation of the rotating disk 107 through the synchronous belt 402 to complete the rotation shooting of the camera 209. Similarly, when the shooting needs to be pitched, the angle and speed of the shooting are triggered to the pitch axis motor 305, and the pitch axis motor 305 is fixed on the same axis through the locking block 301, and the shaft sleeve 303, the extension shaft 304, and the connecting seat 108 are fixed on the same axis, so that the overall rotating disk 107 and the axisymmetric disk 409 are pitched for shooting. The rotating axis motor 401 and the pitch axis motor 305 can also be made to move in multiple axes to complete the linkage shooting. Through shooting, multi-dimensional shooting can be completed, thus achieving a wider shooting range and diverse shooting angles. This can improve the flexibility and creativity of shooting.

[0048] The camera head of this product is designed to meet the needs of different cameras and different loads in the photography industry. The camera head is a portable photography device and its camera head, which can not only realize the convenience of full-angle and all-round panoramic shooting, but also enable non-professionals to record images with the cooperation of this photography device. The different working voltages of the camera head of this product also determine the overall working state of the head, voltage 24V, AC 220V. When it is necessary to shoot and rotate, the head receives the signal sent, the rotating motor rotates, and the rotating camera is also driven to rotate through the synchronous belt. When the action of the motor pitch is required, the head receives the demand and sends it to the motor to move. At this time, the running pitch motor drives the camera to pitch through the output shaft. When the shooting needs to rotate and pitch synchronous linkage shooting, the head receives the command, the camera completes the rotation and pitch synchronous movement, and the camera fixed on the camera also completes this series of actions to meet the needs of efficient film and television shooting. It provides great convenience and speed for photography.
