DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] See also Figures 1-8 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: it includes a quick-loading platform 1, a pitch mechanism 2, a heading rotation mechanism 3, and a bottom shell 4. The quick-loading platform 1 is connected to the pitch mechanism 2, and can be quickly connected to and installed with a scanner or a camera through the quick-loading platform. Specifically, the quick-loading platform 1 includes a mounting platform 11 and a silicone pad 12. The silicone pad 12 is arranged on the top of the mounting platform 11. A self-locking quick-release turntable 13 is movably arranged at the bottom of the mounting platform 11, and a self-locking screw 14 is arranged at the center of the self-locking quick-release turntable 13. , the self-locking screw 14 passes through the mounting platform 11 and the silicone pad 12. The mounting platform 11 is also symmetrically provided with quick-release positioning columns 15. When in use, align the connection hole at the bottom of the scanner with the quick-release platform, so that the quick-release positioning column corresponds to the positioning hole of the scanner quick-release mechanism, and the self-locking screw is aligned with the connection hole. Turn the self-locking quick-release turntable to complete the connection with the scanner quick-release mechanism. Tighten the fastening screws of the quick-release mechanism to achieve quick installation. The reverse operation can achieve quick release. After the installation is completed, the silicone pad plays an anti-slip role and increases the fastening effect.
[0026] The heading rotation mechanism 3 is movably connected to the bottom shell 4, and the heading rotation mechanism can rotate on the bottom shell with the bottom shell as the base;
[0027] The pitch mechanism 2 includes two symmetrically arranged pitch motors 23, which are transmission-connected to the heading rotation mechanism 3. A pitch drive gear 231 is arranged on the output shaft of the pitch motor 23, and the pitch drive gear 231 is eccentrically arranged. The pitch drive gear and the heading rotation mechanism cooperate to drive the pitch mechanism to rotate on the heading rotation mechanism. The pitch mechanism 2 also includes a pitch encoder PCBA24, which corresponds to the pitch motor 23. The pitch motor is electromagnetically inductively controlled through a program set by the pitch encoder PCBA, thereby realizing precise control of the pitch angle, so that the gimbal can be used horizontally after being connected to a load, and can also be installed vertically at 90 degrees for scanning or shooting in pitch and heading.
[0028] The heading rotation mechanism 3 includes a heading middle shell 32 and a heading motor 34. The heading motor 34 is installed on the side wall of the bottom shell 4. The heading motor 34 is connected to the heading middle shell 32 in a transmission manner. The heading rotation mechanism 3 also includes a heading left and right limit PCBA 38 and a heading zero position detection PCBA 39 installed on the bottom shell 4. The heading left and right limit PCBA 38 and the heading zero position detection PCBA 39 correspond to the position of the pitch motor 23 in the initial position. In this embodiment, the heading left and right limit PCBA and the heading zero position detection PCBA are set, and the heading zero position detection PCBA is performed. The zero-degree angle of the initial position is recorded. In one embodiment, the zero-degree position is the vertical position with respect to the charging port. When the gimbal is started, the power key is pressed, and the heading zero-position detection PCBA detects the state of the heading motor and controls it to return to the zero-degree position. The zero-degree position is used as a reference, and the left and right rotation angles of the heading motor are controlled by the heading left and right limit PCBAs. To prevent the charging cable from getting entangled during rotation, the rotation angle of the heading motor is ±170 degrees. In this embodiment, the two PCBAs detect and control the control board, and thus the rotation angle of the motor is precisely controlled.
[0029] More specifically, the pitch mechanism 2 further comprises a pitch lower shell main body 21 , lower shell side covers 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pitch lower shell main body 21 , and a pitch motor 23 is installed in the lower shell side covers 22 .
[0030] More specifically, the heading rotation mechanism 3 further includes a heading upper shell 31, the heading upper shell 31 is connected to the heading middle shell 32, and the top of the heading upper shell is connected to the pitch mechanism to support the pitch mechanism to perform pitch rotation;
[0031] The heading upper shell 31 includes a symmetrically arranged support seat 311, which is located on the outside of the lower shell side cover 22, and a pitch driving tooth groove 312 is arranged in an arc shape at the bottom inner side of the support seat 311. In order to ensure the rotational stability of the pitch mechanism and better perform precise control, a pitch driving tooth groove is arranged to cooperate with the pitch driving gear 231 of the pitch motor 23. In this embodiment, the pitch driving tooth groove is arranged in an arc shape, and limit plates are also arranged at both ends to limit the stroke of the pitch driving gear so that the rotation angle of the pitch mechanism is ±90 degrees.
[0032] To be more specific, the inner ring at the bottom of the heading middle shell 32 is provided with a heading drive gear ring 321, and the heading motor 34 is provided with a heading drive gear 35. The heading drive gear 35 is meshed with the heading drive gear ring 321. The heading motor is eccentrically arranged, and the heading drive gear drives the heading middle shell to rotate. A ball groove 322 is provided on the outer ring at the bottom of the heading middle shell.
[0033] More specifically, the heading rotation mechanism 3 further includes a steel ball bearing connecting piece 33. The steel ball bearing connecting piece 33 is located between the middle housing 32 of the heading and the bottom housing 4 and is fixed to the bottom housing 4. A number of ball bearings 331 are provided on the steel ball bearing connecting piece 33. The ball bearings 331 are in rolling connection with the middle housing 23 of the heading. Through the cooperation of the ball bearings and the middle housing of the heading, the middle housing of the heading can rotate more smoothly and steadily.
[0034] More specifically, the heading rotation mechanism 3 further includes a heading bearing 36 and a fixed shaft 37. The heading bearing 36 is installed at the top of the fixed shaft 37, and the heading bearing 36 is connected to the middle housing 32 of the heading. In the existing structure, the rotating table is mostly directly driven by a motor, resulting in insufficient stability. In this embodiment, not only are ball bearings added for cooperation, but also a fixed shaft and a heading bearing are provided, further increasing the rotational stability of the heading rotation mechanism. Since the fixed shaft and the heading bearing are used in cooperation, when the pan-tilt is installed vertically, the bracket is connected to the bottom housing through the L connecting plate. During the rotation process, the heading bearing can ensure smooth rotation of the whole without jamming. In addition, a steel ball bearing connecting piece is used in cooperation with the ball bearings to roll-connect with the middle housing of the heading, further ensuring smooth rotation of the pan-tilt.
[0035] More specifically, a control main board PCBA5 is provided inside the bottom housing 4. A Bluetooth module and a voice control module are provided on the control main board PCBA5. By setting the Bluetooth module, it is convenient for the device to be connected to external control devices, such as computers, tablets, mobile phones, etc., so as to realize remote operation, which is more convenient. The voice module can realize voice control, which is more convenient through voice control when it is not convenient to use external devices. It should be noted that the control main board PCBA also supports power supply using a computer serial port, USB, and 3D scanner. When multiple devices are used, the 3D scanner can be used to supply power to the pan-tilt, providing a better user experience. An anti-slip silicone pad 6 is provided at the bottom of the bottom housing 4, which plays an anti-slip role during placement and increases the stability during use.
[0036] Working principle of the utility model: Align the connection hole at the bottom of the scanner with the quick mounting table 1, so that the quick-release positioning post 15 corresponds to the positioning hole of the quick mounting mechanism of the scanner, and the self-locking screw aligns with the connection hole. Rotating the self-locking quick-release turntable 13 can complete the connection with the quick mounting mechanism of the scanner. Tightening the fastening screw of the quick mounting mechanism can achieve quick mounting. After the connection is completed, connect the data cable to the charging port on the bottom shell 4 for power supply. At this time, press the switch on one side of the pitching mechanism 2, and the pitching encoder PCBA 24 detects the position of the pitching motor 23 to return to the center. The heading zero position detection PCBA 39 also detects the relative position with the pitching motor 23 and controls the heading motor 34 to return to the position. After the self-check is completed, establish a connection with an external device through Bluetooth, and the gimbal can be operated through the external device. Since an arc-shaped pitching drive tooth groove 312 is provided on the heading upper shell 31 to match the pitching drive gear 231, when the two pitching motors 23 start, they drive the entire pitching mechanism 2 to rotate ±90 degrees along the pitching drive tooth groove 312. During the rotation process, the pitching encoder PCBA 24 precisely controls the rotation by detecting the position of the pitching motor 23 through electromagnetic induction. When a heading rotation is to be performed, control the heading motor 34 to start. Similarly, the heading motor 34 is eccentrically arranged, and the heading drive gear 35 drives the heading middle shell 32 to rotate. During the rotation of the heading middle shell 32, the cooperation between the ball 331 and the ball groove 322 ensures the smooth rotation of the heading middle shell 32. During the rotation process, the left and right heading limit PCBA 38 has stored a rotation angle of ±170 degrees, and the heading zero position detection PCBA 39 has also set the zero degree position. Centered on the zero degree position, drive the heading motor 34 to perform a heading rotation of ±170 degrees, and drive the heading motor to perform a zero degree reset when the reset button is pressed, thereby achieving precise control.
[0037] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent replacements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solution of the utility model shall be covered by the scope of the claims of the utility model as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
