Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of gimbal technology, specifically to an intelligent gimbal. Background Technology

[0002] A gimbal is a support device for mounting and securing mobile phones, cameras, and camcorders. There are two types: fixed and motorized. A gimbal can rotate freely, generally with both horizontal and vertical rotation functions, making it convenient for users to take photos or videos. However, many gimbal products on the market operate noisily. This noise is transmitted to the mobile device through the gimbal structure, and after being amplified by the mobile device's microphone, it results in significant background noise in the recorded / audio recordings, negatively impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an intelligent gimbal, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0004] A smart gimbal includes a support mechanism, a pitch mechanism, and a limiting mechanism. The support mechanism is used to hold a mobile device and is equipped with a noise reduction structure to reduce noise generated during operation. The pitch mechanism controls the support mechanism to perform pitch movements and includes a pitch motor and a motor bracket. A gap is provided between the housing of the pitch motor and the motor bracket to isolate noise generated during operation. The limiting mechanism limits the pitch of the support mechanism and includes a transition block and a touch switch. When the support mechanism reaches a certain pitch angle, the transition block triggers the touch switch to generate a pitch-in signal, which limits the pitch of the support mechanism.

[0005] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes an upper shell and a clamping structure, wherein the clamping mechanism is used to clamp the mobile device, the clamping mechanism is connected to the upper shell through a support rod, and a wiring space is formed between the support rod and the upper shell; the upper shell is provided with a recessed platform, the recessed platform is a structure that is recessed into the interior of the smart gimbal, and the recessed part forms a wiring space; the upper shell is provided with a cable hiding groove, and the charging cable of the mobile device can be hidden in the cable hiding groove through the wiring space.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottom of the cable tray is provided with the noise-absorbing structure, which includes a noise-absorbing hole and a soft rubber sealant for sealing the noise-absorbing hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the pitch mechanism also includes a pitch drive gear, which is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the pitch motor. The pitch drive gear meshes with a pitch driven gear fixedly mounted on the support mechanism, thereby driving the support mechanism to achieve pitch movement. The pitch drive gear and the pitch driven gear mesh in an internal meshing manner.

[0008] Furthermore, the pitch mechanism also includes a first bearing, the outer ring of which is coaxially mounted on the pitch drive gear, and the inner ring of which is coaxially mounted on the support frame provided on the motor bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame includes a guide rail and a first bearing assembly position. The support frame is fixed by sliding into a guide groove provided on the motor bracket through the guide rail, while the first bearing assembly position is fitted into the inner ring of the first bearing.

[0010] Furthermore, the adapter block includes a first adapter block and a second adapter block. The first adapter block is mounted on the motor bracket via a second bearing, and the second adapter block is mounted on the motor bracket via a third bearing. The first adapter block is coaxially fitted onto the outer ring of the second bearing, and the inner ring of the second bearing is coaxially fitted onto the second bearing mounting position of the motor bracket. The second adapter block is coaxially fitted onto the outer ring of the third bearing, and the inner ring of the third bearing is coaxially fitted onto the third bearing mounting position of the motor bracket. The first adapter block and the second adapter block are fixedly connected to the bracket mechanism. When the pitch mechanism controls the pitch of the bracket mechanism, the bracket mechanism drives the first adapter block and the second adapter block to rotate.

[0011] Furthermore, the first adapter block is provided with a front cantilever and a rear cantilever. When the support mechanism pitches to a certain angle, the front cantilever triggers a first touch switch on the motor bracket to generate a forward pitch signal or the rear cantilever triggers a second touch switch on the motor bracket to generate a backward pitch signal. The touch switch includes a first touch switch and a second touch switch.

[0012] Furthermore, both sides of the first adapter block and the second adapter block are provided with limiting ribs. These limiting ribs cooperate with the limiting ribs provided at the corresponding positions of the motor bracket to physically limit the bracket mechanism. The limiting sector range of the limiting ribs is larger than the pitch limiting range controlled by the touch switch.

[0013] Furthermore, the smart gimbal is provided with a charging interface, which includes a first charging interface and a second charging interface. The first charging interface is used to charge the smart gimbal, and the second charging interface is used to charge the mobile device clamped on the smart gimbal. The charging cable of the mobile device is hidden in the cable tray through the cable routing space.

[0014] This application describes an intelligent gimbal, comprising a support mechanism, a pitch mechanism, and a limiting mechanism. The support mechanism includes a noise-reducing structure to decrease noise generated during operation. The pitch mechanism includes a pitch motor and a motor bracket, with a gap between the motor housing and the bracket to isolate vibration and noise transmission paths, further reducing noise. The limiting mechanism includes a transition block and a touch switch.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0022] In the following description, specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. For example, circuits may be shown in block diagrams so as not to obscure the embodiments with unnecessary detail. In other instances, well-known circuits, structures, and techniques may not be shown in detail so as not to obscure the embodiments.

[0023] In the description of this specification, the references to "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0024] A gimbal is a support device for mounting and securing mobile phones, cameras, and camcorders. There are two types: fixed and motorized. A gimbal can rotate freely, generally with both horizontal and vertical rotation functions, making it convenient for users to take photos or videos. However, many gimbal products on the market operate noisily. This noise is transmitted to the mobile device through the gimbal structure, and after being amplified by the mobile device's microphone, it results in significant background noise in the recorded / audio recordings, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0025] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an intelligent gimbal, including a support mechanism, a pitch mechanism, and a limiting mechanism. The support mechanism is equipped with a noise-reducing structure to decrease noise generated during operation. The pitch mechanism includes a pitch motor and a motor bracket, with a gap between the motor housing and the bracket to isolate vibration and noise transmission paths, further reducing noise during operation. The limiting mechanism includes a transition block and a touch switch. When the support mechanism reaches a certain pitch angle, the transition block triggers the touch switch to generate a pitch-in signal, stopping the pitch of the support mechanism. Compared to conventional physical limiting structures, this avoids significant vibration and current noise caused by frequent motor stall, further reducing noise during operation.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the intelligent gimbal includes a support mechanism, a pitch mechanism, and a limiting mechanism. The support mechanism is used to hold the mobile device and is equipped with a noise reduction structure to reduce noise generated during operation. The pitch mechanism controls the pitch movement of the support mechanism and includes a pitch motor 4 and a motor bracket 5. A gap is provided between the housing of the pitch motor 4 and the motor bracket 5 to isolate noise generated during operation. The limiting mechanism limits the pitch of the support mechanism and includes an adapter block and a touch switch. When the support mechanism reaches a certain pitch angle, the adapter block triggers the touch switch to generate a pitch-in signal, which limits the pitch of the support mechanism. The housing of the pitch motor 4 and the motor bracket 5 have no contact other than the screw contact points.

[0027] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support mechanism includes an upper shell 2 and a clamping structure 3. The clamping mechanism 3 is used to clamp the mobile device. The clamping mechanism 3 is connected to the upper shell 2 via a support rod 301, and a wiring space is formed between the support rod 301 and the upper shell 2. The upper shell 2 is provided with a recessed platform 205, which is a structure recessed into the interior of the smart gimbal, forming a wiring space. The upper shell 2 is provided with a cable hiding groove 201, in which the charging cable of the mobile device can be hidden. Preferably, there are four support rods 301. The support rods 301 can reduce the contact area between the clamping mechanism 3 and the upper shell 2, which helps to reduce the vibration and noise generated when the smart gimbal is working.

[0028] In one embodiment, the bottom of the cable tray 201 is provided with a noise-absorbing structure, which includes a noise-absorbing hole 202 and a soft rubber 203 sealing the noise-absorbing hole 202. The noise-absorbing hole 202 can change the natural frequency of the upper shell, preventing the formation of a closed cavity and avoiding resonance with the motor's operating frequency, thus preventing noise amplification. The soft rubber 203 sealing the noise-absorbing hole 202 can absorb resonance energy and reduce noise peaks.

[0029] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The pitch mechanism also includes a pitch drive gear 6, which is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the pitch motor 4. The pitch drive gear 6 meshes with the pitch driven gear 204 fixedly mounted on the support mechanism, thereby driving the support mechanism to achieve pitch movement. The pitch drive gear 6 and the pitch driven gear 204 are meshed in an internal meshing manner, which can save space and also reduces noise.

[0030] In one embodiment, the pitch mechanism further includes a first bearing 7, the outer ring of which is coaxially mounted on the pitch drive gear 6, and the inner ring of which is coaxially mounted on the support frame 8 disposed on the motor bracket 5. The support frame 8 can avoid a single cantilever load-bearing structure and ensure that the pitch drive gear 6 and the pitch driven gear 204 are subjected to uniform force when meshing.

[0031] In one embodiment, the support frame 8 includes a guide rail 801 and a first bearing mounting position 802. The support frame 8 is fixed by sliding into a guide groove 501 provided on the motor bracket 5 via the guide rail 801, while simultaneously allowing the first bearing mounting position 802 to fit into the inner ring of the first bearing 7. The structure of the guide rail 801 and the guide groove 501 facilitates assembly.

[0032] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 3 The adapter block includes a first adapter block 9 and a second adapter block 10. The first adapter block 9 is mounted on the motor bracket 5 via a second bearing 904, and the second adapter block 10 is mounted on the motor bracket 5 via a third bearing 102. The first adapter block 9 is coaxially fitted onto the outer ring of the second bearing 904, and the inner ring of the second bearing 904 is coaxially fitted onto the second bearing mounting position 505 of the motor bracket 5. The second adapter block 10 is coaxially fitted onto the outer ring of the third bearing 102, and the inner ring of the third bearing 102 is coaxially fitted onto the third bearing mounting position 506 of the motor bracket 5. The first adapter block 9 and the second adapter block 10 are fixedly connected to the bracket mechanism. When the pitch mechanism controls the pitch of the bracket mechanism, the bracket mechanism drives the first adapter block 9 and the second adapter block 10 to rotate. After the adapter block is mounted on the motor bracket 5 via bearings, it is fixed to the motor bracket by screws and also to the bottom of the upper shell 2 by screws.

[0033] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The first adapter block 9 is equipped with a front cantilever 901 and a rear cantilever 902. When the support mechanism pitches to a certain angle, the front cantilever 901 triggers a first touch switch 503 mounted on the motor bracket 5 to generate a forward tilt signal, or the rear cantilever 902 triggers a second touch switch 504 mounted on the motor bracket 5 to generate a backward tilt signal. The touch switches include a first touch switch 503 and a second touch switch 504. It should be noted that when a forward tilt signal is generated, the intelligent gimbal stops tilting forward; when a backward tilt signal is generated, the intelligent gimbal stops tilting backward. Compared with conventional physical limit structures, this process avoids the significant vibration and current noise caused by frequent motor stall, greatly reducing the noise generated during intelligent gimbal operation. Preferably, the second adapter block 10 does not require a front and rear cantilever to reduce structural complexity and cost.

[0034] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 Both sides of the first adapter block 9 and the second adapter block 10 are provided with limiting ribs 903 (the limiting rib of the second adapter block 10 is not shown in the figure). The limiting ribs 903 cooperate with the limiting ribs 502 provided at the corresponding positions of the motor bracket 5 to play a physical limiting role for the bracket mechanism. The limiting sector range of the limiting rib is larger than the pitch limiting range controlled by the touch switch. That is, under normal circumstances, when the smart gimbal is about to pitch excessively, the touch switch is triggered first. If the smart gimbal continues to pitch for some reason, the limiting rib will play a role in physical limiting to avoid the danger of the smart gimbal tipping over due to excessive tilt angle.

[0035] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 1 The smart gimbal is equipped with a charging interface, which includes a first charging interface 11 and a second charging interface 12. The first charging interface 11 is used to charge the smart gimbal, and the second charging interface 12 is used to charge a mobile device clamped on the smart gimbal. The charging cable of the mobile device is hidden in the cable management slot 201 via a cable routing space. Preferably, both the first charging interface 11 and the second charging interface 12 are Type-C interfaces. The second charging interface 12 can solve the problem that mobile devices cannot be used on the smart gimbal for extended periods.
