Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photographic equipment, and particularly relates to a control device for a camera carrying device. Background Art

[0002] Camera carrying devices, including rail robots, boom robots, and tripod stands, etc., are generally controlled by staff through a control panel to meet the position, angle, and dynamic requirements of camera shooting. Existing camera carrying devices are generally controlled by a single control panel, and relevant control parameter settings and historical operation records are stored in this control panel. Once the control panel fails, it needs to be removed and replaced with a new one, which is a cumbersome and time-consuming process. Moreover, the newly replaced control panel needs to reconfigure the control parameters. If the control parameter configuration is inconsistent with the original control panel, it will also affect the shooting effect to a certain extent.

[0003] In addition, for some shooting scenarios with strict time limits (such as live broadcast scenarios), the time left for operators to replace the control panel and configure the control parameters is extremely limited, making it difficult to meet the shooting requirements.

[0033] See Figure 1 As shown, a control device for a camera carrying device in this embodiment includes:

[0034] A main control panel 100, having a main control panel controller 101;

[0035] A slave control panel 200, having a slave control panel controller 201. The slave control panel controller 201 is communicatively connected to the main control panel controller 101, and the data of the main control panel controller 101 is synchronously transmitted to the slave control panel controller 201 in real time;

[0036] A circuit switching switch assembly 300, having a first connection circuit electrically connecting the camera carrying device 400 and the main control panel 100, and a second connection circuit electrically connecting the camera carrying device 400 and the slave control panel 200. The first connection circuit and the second connection circuit are arranged in parallel;

[0037] By selecting the first connection circuit or the second connection circuit to be conducted through the circuit switching switch assembly 300, the electrical connection between the camera carrying device 400 and the main control panel 100 or the slave control panel 200 is realized.

[0038] A control device for a camera carrying device according to this embodiment includes a main control panel 100 and a slave control panel 200. Through a circuit switching switch assembly 300, electrical connection between the camera carrying device 400 and the main control panel 100 or the slave control panel 200 can be achieved. In this way, when the main control panel 100 fails, it can be switched to the slave control panel 200 immediately to achieve "instant replacement". At the same time, a communication connection is established between the slave control panel controller 201 and the master control panel controller 101, and the data of the master control panel controller 101 is synchronously updated to the slave control panel controller 201 in real time. In this way, when switching to the slave control panel 200, the data stored in the slave control panel 200 is consistent with that of the main control panel 100, achieving "ready to use".

[0039] Therefore, for a control device of a camera carrying device according to this embodiment, once the main control panel 100 fails, it is directly switched to the slave control panel 200. When switching from the main control panel 100 to the slave control panel 200, the slave control panel 200 will not need to obtain information from the device to reconfigure the control parameters, greatly improving the switching efficiency and achieving a quick switch between the main and slave control panels, which can be applied to various shooting scenarios.

[0040] As an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the circuit switching switch assembly 300 described in this embodiment includes a conversion relay 301. The moving contact 302 of the conversion relay 301 is electrically connected to the camera carrying device 400. The first stationary contact 303 of the conversion relay 301 is electrically connected to the main control panel 100. The second stationary contact 304 of the conversion relay 301 is electrically connected to the slave control panel 200. By controlling the conversion relay 301 to be powered on and off, the moving contact 302 is brought into contact conduction with the first stationary contact 303 or the second stationary contact 304, and the first connection circuit or the second connection circuit is conducted.

[0041] The conversion relay is of the contact group type. This contact group has a total of 3 contacts, that is, the middle one is the moving contact, and there is one stationary contact above and below. When the coil is not energized, the moving contact is disconnected from one of the stationary contacts and closed with the other; after the coil is energized, the moving contact moves, causing the originally disconnected contact to become closed and the originally closed contact to become disconnected, achieving the purpose of conversion.

[0042] The circuit switching switch assembly 300 in this embodiment includes a conversion relay 301. When powered on, the moving contact 302 contacts and conducts with the first stationary contact 303 to realize the electrical connection between the camera carrying device 400 and the main control panel 100. When powered off, the moving contact 302 contacts and conducts with the second stationary contact 304 to realize the electrical connection between the camera carrying device 400 and the slave control panel 200. Therefore, in this embodiment, by controlling the power on and off of the conversion relay 301 of the circuit switching switch assembly 300, the switching electrical connection between the camera carrying device 400 and the main control panel 100 or the slave control panel 200 can be quickly realized.

[0043] Furthermore, the main control panel 100 in this embodiment has a main control panel power input circuit for realizing the conduction / disconnection between the main control panel and the main panel regulated power supply 501, and the main control panel power input circuit is electrically connected to the conversion relay 301:

[0044] When the main control panel 100 is in the power-off state, the conversion relay 301 is powered off, the moving contact 302 contacts and conducts with the second stationary contact 304, and the second connection circuit conducts to realize the electrical connection between the camera carrying device 400 and the slave control panel 200;

[0045] When the main control panel 100 is in the power-on state, the conversion relay 301 is powered on, the moving contact 302 contacts and conducts with the first stationary contact 303, and the first connection circuit conducts to realize the electrical connection between the camera carrying device 400 and the main control panel 100.

[0046] It can be seen that the control device of a camera carrying device in this embodiment can automatically switch to the slave control panel 200 according to the power-on and off state of the main control panel 100, and automatically switch to the slave control panel 200 immediately when the main control panel 100 fails.

[0047] Specifically, the main control panel power input circuit in this embodiment includes a main control panel power input terminal 102, a main control panel power switch 103, and a main control panel power output terminal 104 connected in series in sequence. The main control panel power output terminal 104 is electrically connected to the control power supply 305 of the conversion relay 301 and the main control panel controller 101 respectively.

[0048] In this way, when the main control panel 100 fails due to a fault in the main control panel power input circuit or other electrical components of the main control panel 100, closing the main control panel power switch 103 can automatically realize the switching to the slave control panel 200.

[0049] Correspondingly, the slave control panel 200 in this embodiment has a slave control panel power input circuit for realizing the conduction / disconnection between the slave control panel 200 and the slave panel regulated power supply 502.

[0050] Further, the slave control panel power input circuit in this embodiment includes a slave control panel power input terminal 202, a slave control panel power switch 203, and a slave control panel power output terminal 204 connected in series in sequence, and the slave control panel power output terminal 204 is electrically connected to the slave control panel controller.

[0051] As an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, there are multiple conversion relays 301 in this embodiment. The first static contacts 303 of the multiple conversion relays 301 are all electrically connected to the main control panel 100, the second static contacts 304 of the multiple conversion relays 301 are all electrically connected to the slave control panel 200, and the moving contacts 302 of the multiple conversion relays 301 are respectively electrically connected to multiple camera carrying devices 400 in one-to-one correspondence. In this way, automatic switching between the main and slave control panels of multiple camera carrying devices 400 can be achieved in this embodiment, and the shooting scenarios for its application can be expanded.

[0052] As an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the main control panel controller 101 in this embodiment is integrated with a first communication interface, the slave control panel controller 201 is integrated with a second communication interface, and the first communication interface and the second communication interface are communicatively connected through a communication cable 600.

[0053] Specifically, the first communication interface is an RJ45 communication interface, and the second communication interface is an RJ45 communication interface. The first communication interface and the second communication interface are communicatively connected using the rs422 communication protocol.

[0054] The main control panel controller 101 of this embodiment transmits the stored data information to the slave control panel controller 201 for storage in real time through the communication cable 600, realizing real-time data synchronization between the main control panel 100 and the slave control panel 200.

[0055] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and do not limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above respective embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation manners.
