[0024] Example:

[0025] The present embodiment provides a pan-tilt head, comprising a support assembly 1, a connecting assembly 2 and a fixing assembly 3; the support assembly 1 is used to connect a bracket; the support assembly 1 and the connecting assembly 2 are rotatably connected; the connecting assembly 2 and the fixing assembly 3 are rotatably connected; a double-headed connecting column 12 is detachably provided on the support assembly 1; a first threaded hole 121 and a second threaded hole 122 are respectively provided at both ends of the double-headed connecting column 12; the first threaded hole 121 and the second threaded hole 122 have different inner diameters and are used to fix different types of brackets. When in use, select the first threaded hole 121 or the second threaded hole 122 to connect to the bracket; when replacement is required, the double-headed connecting column 12 can be disassembled and turned around to use the threaded hole at the other end. Optionally, the first threaded hole 121 is a 1 / 4 thread model and the second threaded hole 122 is a 5 / 8 thread model. The above solution can match common bracket types on the market.

[0026] In a possible embodiment, the support assembly 1 includes a support block 13 and a first screw 11; a first connecting end 131 and a second connecting end 132 are provided on the support block 13; the first connecting end 131 and the second connecting end 132 are connected by a fastening portion 133; the fastening portion 133 cooperates with the double-headed connecting column 12 for clamping the double-headed connecting column 12; a first fixing hole is provided on the first connecting end 131; a second fixing hole is provided on the second connecting end 132; the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole correspond in position; an internal thread is provided in the first fixing hole; the second fixing hole passes through the second connecting end 132; the first screw 11 is inserted into the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole; a tightening portion 111 is provided at the tail of the first screw 11; the tightening portion 111 abuts against the end of the second fixing hole.

[0027] In this embodiment, the top end of the first screw rod 11 is provided with an external thread, which cooperates with the internal thread in the first fixing hole. When the first screw rod 11 is rotated, the first screw rod 11 will extend into the first fixing hole. There is no thread in the second fixing hole. The end face of the second fixing hole, that is, the end face on the side away from the first fixing hole, abuts against the tightening portion 111. When the second screw rod 22 penetrates into the first fixing hole during rotation, the tightening portion 111 pushes the second connecting end 132 closer to the first connecting end 131, changing the area of the area surrounded by the fastening portion 133, thereby increasing the friction between the double-headed connecting column 12 and the fastening portion 133, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the double-headed connecting column 12 to the support block 13. Preferably, the tail end of the first screw rod 11 is also provided with a handle, which can be used to conveniently rotate the first screw rod 11.

[0028] Optionally, the first screw rod 11 cannot act on the inner wall of the second fixing hole, which is within the protection range required by this solution; for example, the part of the first screw rod 11 extending into the second fixing hole has no threads.

[0029] Optionally, the directions of the threads in the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole are opposite, and the external thread on the first screw 11 can act on the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole at the same time. In this solution, even if there is no tightening portion 111, the first connecting end 131 and the second connecting end 132 can be brought closer to or farther away from each other.

[0030] Optionally, the fastening portion 133 is square or polygonal, and can match the shape of the double-headed connecting column 12 .

[0031] In a possible embodiment, the double-headed connecting column 12 is provided with a first positioning groove 123 along the side; the fastening portion 133 is annular, and the first screw 11 intersects with the fastening portion 133; the first threaded column first positioning groove 123 cooperates with the first screw 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, the curvature of the cross-section of first positioning slot 123 matches the radius of the cross-section of first screw 11. After first screw 11 connects first connecting end 131 and second connecting end 132, it engages with first positioning slot 123, securing the mounting surface and preventing axial slippage of double-ended connecting post 12. This solution can be used to secure heavy equipment mounted on the gimbal, preventing slippage and potentially affecting precision during use.

[0033] In this embodiment, the reverse rotation of the first screw 11 can loosen the tightly held double-headed connecting column 12, and the angle of the pan / tilt head can be adjusted along the axis direction of the double-headed connecting column 12, thereby adjusting the angle of the device.

[0034] In a possible embodiment, the connecting assembly 2 includes a connecting block 21 and a second screw 22; a first fixed end 211 and a second fixed end 212 are provided on the connecting block 21; the first fixed end 211 and the second fixed end 212 are connected through an annular portion 213; a first connecting hole is provided on the first fixed end 211; a second connecting hole is provided on the second fixed end 212; the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole correspond to each other; abutting portion 221 is provided on the second screw 22; the abutting portion 221 abuts against the end of the second connecting hole; the second screw 22 intersects with the annular portion 213; a supporting head is provided on the support block 13, which cooperates with the annular portion 213; the supporting head is cylindrical; a second positioning groove 134 is provided on the side of the support head; the second positioning groove 134 cooperates with the second screw 22.

[0035] Similar to the principle of the aforementioned embodiment, in this embodiment, a thread is provided in the first connecting hole, and a thread is provided on the top of the second screw rod 22. The two cooperate with each other, and rotating the second screw rod 22 can bring the first fixed end 211 and the second fixed end 212 closer to each other, thereby tightening the support head and completing the effect of fixing the connecting component 2 to the support component 1. The second positioning groove 134 can prevent the connecting component 2 from slipping. The axis of the support head is perpendicular to the axis of the double-headed connecting column 12. By loosening the second screw rod 22, the angle of the device can be adjusted by the axis of the support head.

[0036] Preferably, an adjustment handle is provided at the tail of the second screw 22. On the one hand, the adjustment handle can be used to rotate the second screw 22. On the other hand, the adjustment handle can be used to rotate the installed device along the axis of the double-headed connecting column 12 or the axis of the support head.

[0037] In a possible embodiment, a head plug-in board 232 and a tail plug-in board 231 are further provided on the connecting block 21; the fixing assembly 3 includes a fixing plate 33; a first plug-in board 331 is provided on the fixing plate 33; the first plug-in board 331 is arranged between the head plug-in board 232 and the tail plug-in board 231; a tail plug-in hole is provided on the tail plug-in board 231; the tail plug-in hole is provided with an internal thread; a plug-in hole 332 coaxial with the tail plug-in hole is provided on the head plug-in board 232 and the first plug-in board 331; and a third screw 34 is also included, and a limiting portion is provided on the third screw 34; the third screw 34 is inserted into the plug-in hole 332 and the tail plug-in hole; the limiting portion abuts against the head plug-in board 232.

[0038] In this embodiment, tightening the stopper of the third screw 34 presses against the head plate 232, and the tail plate 231 and the head plate 232 clamp the first plug plate 331, securing the fixed plate 33. The axis of the third screw 34 is perpendicular to the support head and the double-ended connecting column 12. Loosening the first plug plate 331 allows the connecting block 21 to rotate along the axis of the third screw 34, thereby adjusting the device's tilt angle.

[0039] Preferably, multiple second plug-in boards 233 are disposed between the head plug-in board 232 and the tail plug-in board 231; the fixed plate 33 is provided with a number of first plug-in boards 331 corresponding to the number of second plug-in boards 233; the first plug-in boards 331 and the second plug-in boards 233 are arranged in an alternating manner; and the second plug-in boards 233 are provided with plug-in holes 332 coaxial with the first plug-in boards 331. The staggered arrangement of multiple second plug-in boards 233 and first plug-in boards 331 increases the friction between the connecting block 21 and the fixed plate 33, ensuring that the device maintains a stable tilt even when it is heavy.

[0040] In a possible embodiment, the fixing assembly 3 further includes a stud screw 31 detachably provided on the fixing plate 33 ; the outer diameters of both ends of the stud screw 31 are unequal and are used for different models of equipment.

[0041] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to install a device of a different model, the stud screw 31 is removed and the appropriate end is selected to be reconnected. The above scheme enables the pan / tilt head provided by this patent to adapt to devices of different models, such as video cameras, still cameras, spirit levels, laser instruments, etc.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, the fixing plate 33 is provided with a screw mounting hole 35; the stud screw 31 is provided with a threaded connection with the screw mounting hole 35. The screw mounting hole 35 extends through the fixing plate 33. Preferably, the thread of the screw mounting hole 35 matches the thread of the larger end of the stud screw 31. Preferably, a limit plate 311 is provided in the middle of the stud screw 31. The limit plate 311 allows one side of the screw to protrude an appropriate length from the fixing plate 33, facilitating device installation.

[0043] In a possible embodiment, a non-slip pad 32 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 33 for mounting the device. The non-slip pad 32 can prevent the device fixing plate 33 from rotating along the axis of the stud screw 31.

[0044] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
