Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photographic equipment, and particularly relates to a damping adjustable cloud platform and tripod with a limiting function. Background Art

[0002] A cloud platform is a device used to connect a shooting device and a tripod during a photographic activity and can adjust the shooting angle of the shooting device. Existing cloud platforms usually set up a universal ball head structure to achieve a 360° horizontal angle adjustment. And in order to meet the different damping requirements of users during adjustment, or to prevent the shooting device and the ball head from tipping instantly after unlocking the ball head due to the ball head being too loose, resulting in damage to the shooting device, a damping adjustment mechanism is set on the cloud platform.

[0003] For example, a Chinese utility model patent CN20023229325824 discloses an integrated damping adjustable cloud platform. This cloud platform has a locking knob and a damping knob, and the locking knob and the damping knob are coaxially arranged, which can solve the disadvantages of complex structure and large volume of the cloud platform. However, the damping knob in this cloud platform rotates 360° in the vertical direction. When the user adjusts, it depends on the feel, without damping force guidance, and needs to be adjusted repeatedly to find the most suitable damping effect, which has the disadvantage of inconvenient adjustment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a damping adjustable cloud platform and tripod with a limiting function to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. For this purpose, the utility model provides a damping adjustable cloud platform and tripod with a limiting function.

[0013] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the first limiting component includes an arc-shaped limiting slot arranged on the damping knob and circumferentially arranged along it and a limiting block arranged on the base.

[0014] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the second limiting component includes a first limiting convex portion arranged on the damping knob and a second limiting convex portion arranged on the locking knob and abutting against the first limiting convex portion.

[0015] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, a damping adjustable pan-tilt with a limiting function further includes a holding component arranged between the damping knob and the locking knob for maintaining the connection state between the damping knob and the base.

[0016] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the holding component includes a connecting rod and an elastic member.

[0024] This part will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the drawings. The role of the drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification, enabling people to intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality of" is more than two. Understandings such as "greater than", "less than", and "exceeding" do not include the original number, and understandings such as "above", "below", and "within" include the original number. If there is a description of "first" and "second", it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the sequence relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0026] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that when it comes to orientation descriptions, such as the orientations or positional relationships indicated by "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", etc., they are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the indicated device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0027] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, words such as "set", "installed", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; they can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, and can also be integrally formed; they can be mechanically connected; they can be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present utility model in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , a damping adjustable cloud platform with a limiting function, includes a base 100, a spherical rotating head 200, a pressing component 300, a locking knob 400, a damping knob 500, a backstop component 600, a first limiting component 700, and a second limiting component 800;

[0029] A spherical rotating cavity 110 for accommodating the spherical rotating head 200 is provided on the base 100;

[0030] The pressing component 300 is arranged in the spherical rotating cavity 110 and abuts against the spherical rotating head 200;

[0031] The locking knob 400 is arranged on the base 100 and connected to the pressing component 300. The locking knob 400 can drive the pressing component 300 to abut against the spherical rotating head 200 when rotating forward, or drive the pressing component 300 to separate from the spherical rotating head 200 when rotating backward;

[0032] The damping knob 500 is arranged between the base 100 and the locking knob 400. The damping knob 500 is connected to the base 100 through a backstop assembly 600 and a first limiting assembly 700 to limit the rotation angle between the damping knob 500 and the base 100; the damping knob 500 is connected to the locking knob 400 through a second limiting assembly 800 to limit the rotation angle between the damping knob 500 and the locking knob 400.

[0033] 1) In the present utility model, preferably, the pressing assembly 300 includes a screw 310, a side pusher 320, a driving member 330, and a pressing member 340. The pressing member 340, the driving member 330, and the side pusher 320 are stacked in sequence in the spherical rotating cavity 110. The pressing member 340 abuts against the spherical rotating head 200. One end of the screw 310 is connected to the locking knob 400, and the other end is threadedly connected to the side pusher 320. The side pusher 320 can drive the pressing member 340 to abut against the spherical rotating head 200 through the driving member 330 when the locking knob 400 rotates forward, or the side pusher 320 can drive the pressing member 340 to separate from the spherical rotating head 200 through the driving member 330 when the locking knob 400 rotates backward.

[0034] When in use, if the rotation of the spherical rotating head 200 in the spherical rotating cavity 110 is too loose at this time, that is, the pressure of the pressing member 340 on the spherical rotating head 200 is small, then rotate the locking knob 400 forward first, so that the locking knob 400 drives the screw 310 to rotate. Since there is a guiding structure between the side pusher 320 and the base 100, therefore, the rotational motion of the screw 310 will be converted into the linear motion of the side pusher 320, and then push the driving member 330 upward, so that the pressing member 340 exerts a greater pressure on the spherical rotating head 200 (that is, the damping effect between the spherical rotating head 200 and the pressing member 340 is enhanced).

[0035] 2) Refer to Figures 2 - 3 Preferably, the backstop assembly 600 includes a plurality of backstop slots 610 provided on the base 100 and backstop posts 620 provided on the damping knob 500 and extending into the backstop slots 610. The backstop posts 620 can be withdrawn from the backstop slots 610 when the damping knob 500 moves towards the locking knob 400, so that the damping knob 500 can rotate relative to the locking knob 400.

[0036] In one embodiment, the second limiting assembly 800 includes a first limiting convex portion 810 provided on the damping knob 500 and a second limiting convex portion 820 provided on the locking knob 400 and abutting against the first limiting convex portion 810.

[0037] Specifically, after achieving the desired damping effect, pull the damping knob 500 so that the anti-backlash plug post 620 on the damping knob 500 is separated from the anti-backlash slot 610 on the base 100, allowing the damping knob 500 to rotate relative to the locking knob 400 until the first limiting convex portion 810 on the damping knob 500 abuts against the second limiting convex portion 820 on the locking knob 400. Then release the damping knob 500. The locking knob 400 continuously generates pressure on the damping knob 500 under the action of the elastic member 920, causing the damping knob 500 to move towards the base 100, so that the anti-backlash plug post 620 on the damping knob 500 is inserted back into the anti-backlash slot 610 on the base 100, thereby restricting the rotation of the damping knob 500, that is, restricting the reverse rotation of the locking knob 400 (without affecting the forward rotation of the locking knob 400). At this time, the locking knob 400 can still rotate forward to further lock the spherical rotating head 200, realizing the maintenance of the angle of the shooting device.

[0038] 3) Refer to Figures 2 - 3 , in an embodiment, the first limiting component 700 includes an arc-shaped limiting groove 710 arranged along the circumferential direction of the damping knob 500 and a limiting block 720 arranged on the base 100. The limiting block 720 extends into the arc-shaped limiting groove 710 to limit the rotation angle of the damping knob 500 relative to the base 100.

[0039] Specifically, by providing the arc-shaped limiting groove 710 and the limiting block 720, the rotation angle of the damping knob 500 can be restricted, that is, the damping knob 500 has a lowest adjustment position and a highest adjustment position, so that users will not adjust solely based on feel during adjustment, and at the same time, it is avoided that the rotation angle of the damping knob 500 is too large and affects the use of the gimbal.

[0040] 4) The advantages of the present utility model are as follows: By arranging the damping knob 500 between the locking knob 400 and the base 100, the integration and aesthetics of the gimbal are improved, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the gimbal. At the same time, a first limiting component 700 is arranged between the damping knob 500 and the base 100 to limit the rotation angle between the two, and a second limiting component 800 is arranged between the damping knob 500 and the locking knob 400 to limit the rotation angle between the two. This not only enables the damping effect of the gimbal to be adjustable, but also makes the damping adjustment effect more accurate, with very good practicality.

[0041] In an embodiment, a first abutting inclined surface 321 is provided on the side pushing member 320, and a second abutting inclined surface 331 abutting against the first abutting inclined surface 321 is provided on the driving member 330; through the cooperation of the first abutting inclined surface 321 and the second abutting inclined surface 331, the side pushing member 320 can be made to push the driving member 330 to move, thereby forcing the tightening member 340 to lock the spherical rotating head 200.

[0042] In one embodiment, a damping-adjustable pan-tilt with a limit function further includes a holding assembly 900 disposed between the damping knob 500 and the locking knob 400 for maintaining the connection state between the damping knob 500 and the base 100.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the holding assembly 900, the holding assembly 900 includes a connecting rod 910 and an elastic member 920. One end of the connecting rod 910 is connected to the abutting assembly 300, and the other end passes through the locking knob 400. The elastic member 920 is sleeved on the connecting rod 910 and its two ends respectively abut against the locking knob 400 and the other end of the connecting rod 910 to apply a pressure towards the damping knob 500 to the locking knob 400. The elastic member 920 is preferably a spring. This setting can enable the locking knob 400 to generate a pressure on the damping knob 500, so that the anti-retreat plug post 620 on the damping knob 500 and the anti-retreat slot 610 on the base 10 always maintain a plugged state.

[0044] A tripod includes the above-mentioned pan-tilt.

[0045] Certainly, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent deformations or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model, and these equivalent deformations and substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
