Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photographic equipment, in particular to a spherical head which is easy to operate. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, more and more people are falling in love with photography. In order to pursue higher and more sophisticated still or motion photography and videography, they usually use a gimbal to support the shooting equipment. In particular, 360° ball head gimbals are widely popular because they can achieve 360° horizontal adjustment and large-angle stepless adjustment in the pitch direction. However, after being unlocked, this type of ball head gimbal will tilt sideways due to its own gravity and the gravity of the photographic equipment. Users need to hold the handle at all times to prevent tilting, which has the disadvantage of inconvenient adjustment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an easy-to-operate spherical gimbal to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0033] A spherical rotating cavity is provided on the base 100;

[0034] The ball head 200 is rotatably arranged in the spherical rotating cavity;

[0035] The locking assembly 300 is connected between the base 100 and the ball head 200 to limit the relative movement between the base 100 and the ball head 200;

[0036] The dual-axis rotation assembly 400 is connected between the base 100 and the ball head 200 and has a first rotation axis X and a second rotation axis Y, so that the ball head 200 can rotate around the first rotation axis X and / or the second rotation axis Y relative to the base 100 .

[0037] 1) In the present invention, in some embodiments, a ball head that is easy to operate also includes a quick-release assembly 800 connected to the ball head 200 and an adjustment handle 900 connected to the ball head 200; when in use, the adjustment handle 900 is grasped to drive the ball head 200 to rotate around the second rotation axis Y, so that the shooting device is facing the direction of the target, and then the adjustment handle 900 is grasped to drive the ball head 200 to rotate around the first rotation axis X, so that the shooting device is pointed at the target, thereby taking pictures.

[0038] 2) In some embodiments, the dual-axis rotation assembly 400 includes a rotating member 410, a movable member 420, a limiting member 430 and a reset member 440; an arc-shaped limiting groove 450 is provided at the lower end of the ball head 200; the rotating member 410 is disposed in the ball head 200 to form a first rotation axis X; the movable member 420 is movably disposed in the arc-shaped limiting groove 450; one end of the limiting member 430 is connected to the base 100, and the other end is rotatably connected to the movable member 420 to form a second rotation axis Y; the reset member 440 is mounted on the rotating member 410 and abuts against the limiting member 430.

[0039] Furthermore, the ball head 200 includes a first ball shell 210 and a second ball shell 220 , the arc-shaped limiting groove 450 and the rotating member 410 are arranged in the first ball shell 210 , and the second ball shell 220 is connected to the first ball shell 210 through a connecting assembly 600 to close the rotating member 410 .

[0040] Furthermore, the reset member 440 is configured as a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the rotating member 410 and has both ends abutting against the movable member 420. A limiting rod 500 is provided in the ball head 200 and is located between the two ends of the torsion spring. The limiting rod 500 can push against one end of the torsion spring when the ball head 200 rotates forward about the first rotation axis X relative to the base 100, or push against the other end of the torsion spring when the ball head 200 rotates reversely about the first rotation axis X relative to the base 100.

[0041] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 600 includes a threaded limiting column 610 and a bolt 620. A first through groove 630 and a first threaded groove 640 are connected from the outside to the inside on the first spherical shell 210. A second threaded groove 650 is provided on the rotating part 410. A second through groove 660 is provided in the threaded limiting column 610. The threaded limiting column 610 is threadedly connected to the first threaded groove 640. The head of the bolt 620 is located in the first threaded groove 640, the rod is passed through the second through groove 660 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded groove 650.

[0042] During assembly, first install the torsion spring on the rotating part 410 and make the two ends of the torsion spring respectively located on both sides of the limiting rod 50 and abut against the movable part 420, then place the bolt 620 with the head facing inward into the first through groove 630 and the first thread groove 640, and then put the threaded limiting column 610 on the rod of the bolt 620 and then thread it into the first thread groove 640, so that the bolt 620 is confined in the first through groove 630 and the first thread groove 640; then after the second ball shell 220 is docked with the first ball shell 210, use a tool to penetrate the first through groove 630 and the first thread groove 640 and then operate the bolt 620 to thread it into the second thread groove 650 on the rotating part 410, so that the second ball shell 220 and the first ball shell 210 are connected as one.

[0043] When the ball head 200 is operated to rotate about the first rotation axis X, the adjustment handle 900 is grasped to drive the ball head 200 to rotate in the forward direction about the first rotation axis X, which will drive the rotating member 410 and the limit rod 500 to rotate, thereby pushing one end of the torsion spring through the limit rod 500, and the other end of the torsion spring abuts against the movable member 420; when the locking assembly 300 is unlocked and the adjustment handle 900 is released, the torsion spring loses the external force and resets, thereby driving the ball head 200 and the camera device thereon to return to the center; the principle of reverse rotation is the same as that of forward rotation and is not further described here.

[0044] When operating the ball head 200 to rotate around the second rotation axis Y, grasping the adjustment handle 900 to drive the ball head 200 to rotate in the positive direction around the second rotation axis Y will drive the ball head 200 and the movable part 420 to rotate at the same time. The movable part 420 and the limit member 430 are rotationally connected, which will cause the ball head 200 and the movable part 420 to rotate relative to the limit member 430 and the base 100. When combined with the rotation of the first rotation axis X, universal adjustment can be achieved.

[0045] 3) In some embodiments, a limiting boss 700 is provided between the first through slot 630 and the first threaded slot 640 to limit the bolt 620 from being disengaged from the first through slot 630 .

[0046] 4) In some embodiments, the upper end of the limit member 430 has a rotating column 431 and the lower end has a threaded connection column 432.

[0047] During assembly, the ball head 200, the rotating part 410, and the reset part 440 are assembled into an upper assembly, and then the limiting part 430 is passed through the base 100 from bottom to top, so that the threaded connection column 432 at the lower end of the limiting part 430 is connected to the base 100, and then the movable part 420 is placed in the base 100, so that the rotating column 431 at the upper end of the limiting part 430 is inserted into the rotating groove 433, and then the upper assembly is placed in the base 100 and the movable part 420 is extended into the arc-shaped limiting groove 450, and then the locking component 300 is locked.

[0048] 5) In some embodiments, a 1 / 4 threaded interface 434 is provided at the lower end of the threaded connection column 432, which can facilitate connecting the gimbal to the tripod.

[0049] 6) The advantage of the present invention is that: through the above structure, universal rotation can be achieved in the form of X-axis rotation and Y-axis rotation, while also avoiding lateral deviation after unlocking, thereby improving the convenience of use and meeting the use requirements.
