[0031] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment of the present application, a gimbal 10 includes a fixing device 11, a drive mechanism 12, a control mechanism 13, a telescopic rod 14, and a clamping member 15. The fixing device 11 includes a mounting base 100, a wire 200, and a fixing mechanism 300. The clamping member 15 is connected to the drive mechanism 12 and is used to clamp an imaging device such as a smartphone or camera. The drive mechanism 12 is fixed to one side of the mounting base 100 and is used to drive the clamping member 15 to produce movement. The telescopic rod 14 is located on the other side of the mounting base 100, and the control mechanism 13 is connected to the end of the telescopic rod 14 away from the mounting base 100. Obviously, the drive mechanism 12 and the control mechanism 13 are located on opposite sides of the mounting base 100. The control mechanism 13 includes a power supply and a control module. The wire 200 is inserted into the telescopic rod 14 and is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 12. The wire 200 is also electrically connected to the power supply and control module of the control mechanism 13. The fixing mechanism 300 is used to secure the wire 200 to the mounting base 100.

[0032] See Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the mounting base 100 is provided with a mounting hole 111, which can be a circular hole. The mounting base 100 includes a base body 110 and a support member 120. The mounting hole 111 is provided on the base body 110. The support member 120 is located within the mounting hole 111. The support member 120 protrudes radially from the mounting hole 111 and is provided on the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 111. The support member 120 can be integrally connected to the base body 110 or separately connected. The support member 120 can be semicircular, and the diameter of the support member 120 can be equal to the diameter of the mounting hole 111. By providing the support member 120, the mounting hole 111 can include a mounting section 1111 and a connecting section 1112. There are two mounting sections 1111 and one connecting section 1112. The two mounting sections 1111 are located on opposite sides of the support member 120 in the thickness direction. The connecting section 1112 is located between the two mounting sections 1111. The connecting section 1112 is connected to the two mounting sections 1111, that is, the connecting section 1112 is connected between the two mounting sections 1111. Since the support member 120 can be semicircular, the support member 120 can have a first abutting surface 121. The first abutting surface 121 extends radially along the mounting hole 111, so that the first abutting surface 121 is a plane. The first abutting surface 121 and the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 111 can together form the connecting section 1112.

[0033] See Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the wire 200 is inserted into the mounting hole 111. The wire 200 includes a spiral segment 210 and a straight segment 220. The spiral segment 210 extends along a helical line and is elastic. The straight segment 220 is connected to the spiral segment 210, and the fixing mechanism 300 is connected to the straight segment 220. By providing the wire 200 with the elastic spiral segment 210, when the telescopic rod 14 is extended or retracted, the spiral segment 210 and the entire wire 200 can follow the telescopic rod 14 and retract or retract. In other embodiments, the wire 200 may not include the spiral segment 210, making the wire 200 elastic and retractable. In this case, the pan / tilt head 10 may not be provided with the telescopic rod 14.

[0034] See Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the fixing mechanism 300 includes a sleeve 310 and a fixing member 320. The sleeve 310 is fixedly sleeved outside the straight section 220 of the wire 200, that is, the wire 200 passes through the sleeve 310. The sleeve 310 and the wire 200 can form a fixed connection relationship such as a glue connection. The sleeve 310 cooperates with the connecting section 1112. A portion of the sleeve 310 can be located within the connecting section 1112, and another portion of the sleeve 310 can be located within the mounting section 1111. The fixing member 320 includes a fixing portion 321. The fixing portion 321 is located within the mounting section 1111. The fixing portion 321 is provided to protrude radially from the sleeve 310 along the mounting hole 111. The fixing portion 321 can be superimposed on the support member 120, so that the fixing portion 321 and the support member 120 can be bolted, snap-fitted, or glued.

[0035] See Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the fixing member 320 further includes a clamping portion 322, and the fixing portion 321 is fixedly connected to the clamping portion 322. For example, the fixing portion 321 and the clamping portion 322 can be integrally formed to form an integral connection. The clamping portion 322 can form a detachable connection with the sleeve 310. The sleeve 310 is provided with a clamping slot 311, which is arranged around the wire 200 so that the clamping slot 311 extends a set length along the circumference of the wire 200. The central angle corresponding to the clamping slot 311 in the circumferential direction of the wire 200 can be about 180°, and the clamping portion 322 cooperates with the clamping slot 311. Given that the sleeve 310 cooperates with the connecting section 1112, the connecting section 1112 can limit the radial displacement of the sleeve 310 and the wire 200 along the mounting hole 111, and the holding portion 322 cooperates with the card slot 311 to limit the axial displacement of the sleeve 310 and the wire 200 along the mounting hole 111, thereby achieving the fixation of the sleeve 310 and the wire 200, thereby effectively fixing the wire 200 on the mounting seat 100 through the fixing mechanism 300.

[0036] In other embodiments, for example, the holding portion 322 and the sleeve 310 can be connected by gluing or welding to form a non-detachable connection relationship. For another example, the holding portion 322 and the sleeve 310 can be integrally formed to form an integral connection relationship.

[0037] See Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the fixing member 320 further includes a protrusion 323, which is disposed on the retaining portion 322 and projects radially from the mounting hole 111. Two protrusions 323 are provided, and the two protrusions 323 can be disposed near each end of the retaining portion 322. When the retaining portion 322 is engaged with the retaining slot 311, the protrusions 323 can be located outside the retaining slot 311 and abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole 111. This can significantly improve the stability and reliability of the retaining portion 322 during installation.

[0038] During assembly of the fixture 11, the retaining portion 322 can first be engaged with the retaining slot 311 on the sleeve 310, the wire 200 can then be inserted into the mounting hole 111, and the sleeve 310 can then be engaged with the connecting section 1112. Due to the interference of the support member 120, the fixing portion 321 will be located within the mounting section 1111 and abut against the support member 120. At this point, the fixing portion 321 can be fixedly connected to the support member 120 using bolts, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the wire 200 and the mounting base 100.

[0039] If the wire 200 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 100 using a cable tie, the cable tie is time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus affecting the installation efficiency of the wire 200 and, ultimately, the assembly efficiency of the entire fixture 11. Furthermore, the cable tie may become loose, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of the connection between the wire 200 and the mounting base 100, and ultimately, the assembly reliability of the fixture 11.

[0040] See Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6, and for the fixing device 11 in the above embodiment, since the holding portion 322 of the fixing member 320 cooperates with the slot 311 on the sleeve member 310, the wire 200 is fixedly inserted into the sleeve member 310, and the fixing portion 321 on the fixing member 320 connected to the holding portion 322 is fixedly connected to the support member 120, and the sleeve member 310 cooperates with the connecting section 1112. In this way, the displacement of the wire 200 along the radial and axial directions of the mounting hole 111 can be effectively limited, so that the fixed connection relationship between the wire 200 and the mounting seat 100 can be achieved. On the one hand, the cooperation between the holding portion 322 and the slot 311 is simple, and the fixing of the fixing member 320 to the support member 120 is simple, thereby simplifying the installation procedure of the wire 200 and reducing the installation time of the wire 200, ultimately improving the assembly efficiency of the fixing device 11. On the other hand, the connection between the fixing portion 321 and the support member 120 has high stability and reliability, thereby preventing the wire 200 from loosening relative to the mounting seat 100, and ultimately improving the reliability of the assembly of the fixing device 11.

[0041] See Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the sleeve 310 has an arc surface 312, a connecting surface 313, and a second abutting surface 314. The number of the arc surface 312 and the second abutting surface 314 is one, and the number of the connecting surfaces 313 is two. Given that the support member 120 has a first abutting surface 121, the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 314 can abut each other and are both planes. The connecting surface 313 can also be a plane, and the connecting surface 313 and the second abutting surface 314 are arranged at an angle. For example, the connecting surface 313 and the second abutting surface 314 can be perpendicular to each other. One of the connecting surfaces 313 is connected between one end of the arc surface 312 and the second abutting surface 314, and the other connecting surface 313 is connected between the other end of the arc surface 312 and the second abutting surface 314. The arc surface 312 abuts the inner wall of the mounting hole 111, and the connecting surface 313 can be spaced apart from the inner wall of the mounting hole 111, so that the connecting surface 313 maintains a non-contact relationship with the inner wall of the mounting hole 111. Given that the first abutting surface 121 and the second abutting surface 314 can abut each other and are both planar, this can effectively prevent the sleeve 310 from rotating relative to the connecting section 1112, effectively limiting the rotation of the sleeve 310 and the wire 200 relative to the mounting base 100, further improving the stability and reliability of the wire 200, and thus further improving the reliability of the assembly of the fixture 11. At the same time, given that the connecting surface 313 maintains a non-contact relationship with the inner wall of the mounting hole 111, this can reasonably reduce the direct contact area between the sleeve 310 and the mounting base 100 during installation, thereby reducing the frictional resistance generated by the sleeve 310 during installation, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the sleeve 310 and ultimately improving the assembly efficiency of the fixture 11.

[0042] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0043] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
