[0031] Nowadays, video sharing platforms occupy an important position in people's daily life, and therefore using aerial vehicles equipped with gimbal cameras to shoot is becoming more and more popular among video content creators. When shooting, the gimbal camera of the existing aerial vehicle often suffers from interference due to stray light entering the gimbal camera, which is harmful to imaging. In addition, due to the size limitation of the gimbal camera of the aerial vehicle, it is difficult to install a conveniently detachable component to solve the problem of stray light.

[0032] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a light shielding assembly, a gimbal camera module and an aerial vehicle to provide a conveniently detachable light shielding assembly, exclude unnecessary light and improve the shooting effect of the gimbal camera.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application provide a gimbal camera module 100 applied to an aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle has a flight function. The aerial vehicle can include a body (not shown in the figure) and the gimbal camera module 100, the gimbal camera module 100 can be installed at least one end of the aerial vehicle, for example, the front end, and the gimbal camera module 100 can shoot video or image at least one end of the aerial vehicle, for example, the front end. In some embodiments, the gimbal camera module 100 has a gimbal structure to have higher shooting stability during the flight of the aerial vehicle. In some embodiments, the aerial vehicle can be but not limited to unmanned aerial vehicle, unmanned aerial vehicle, non-manned aerial vehicle, etc.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the gimbal camera module 100 includes a gimbal camera 10 and a light shielding assembly 20. The light shielding assembly 20 is installed on the gimbal camera 10 to shield stray light for the gimbal camera 10.

[0035] In some embodiments, the light shielding assembly 20 includes a first housing 21 and a light shielding cover 22. The first housing 21 is covered on the gimbal camera 10, and the light shielding cover 22 is detachably connected with the first housing 10.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The first shell 21 includes a first buckle 211 and a first clamping groove 212. The first buckle 211 and the first clamping groove 212 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the first shell 21. In some embodiments, the first shell 21 has an end face 213, and the first buckle 211 and the first clamping groove 212 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the end face 213 along the length direction of the end face 213. The first buckle 211 protrudes from the end face 213. In some embodiments, the end face 213 corresponds to the direction of the light shield 22, and the first shell 21 has no part protruding from the end face 213 except the first buckle 211, so as to ensure smooth connection of the end face 213 and the light shield 22. The first clamping groove 212 is formed by recessing inward along the length direction of the end face 213.

[0037] The light shield 22 includes a second clamping groove 221 and a second buckle 222. The second clamping groove 221 and the second buckle 222 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the light shield 22. In some embodiments, the light shield 22 has a body 223, and the second buckle 222 protrudes from the body 223. The second clamping groove 221 is formed by recessing inward along the length direction of the body 223.

[0038] The second clamping groove 221 can correspondingly clamp the first buckle 211 along the first direction, and the second buckle 222 can correspondingly clamp the first clamping groove 212 along the first direction, so as to fixedly connect the light shield 22 to the first shell 11. In some embodiments, the second clamping groove 221 can correspondingly disengage the first buckle 211 along the second direction, and the second buckle 222 can correspondingly disengage the first clamping groove 212 along the second direction, so as to disassemble the light shield 22 from the first shell 11. In some embodiments, the second direction is opposite to the first direction, and the second direction and the first direction can be the length directions of the end face 213 and the body 223. In some embodiments, when the second clamping groove 221 clamps the first buckle 211, the second buckle 222 correspondingly clamps the first clamping groove 212. That is, the first buckle 211 and the second buckle 222 correspondingly clamp the second clamping groove 221 and the first clamping groove 212 respectively at the same time. Through the second clamping groove 221 and the second buckle 222 correspondingly clamping the first buckle 211 and the first clamping groove 212 respectively and disengaging, the light shield 22 and the first shell 11 are detachably connected. In some embodiments, when the light shield 22 is connected to the first shell 11, the light shield 22 covers the gimbal camera 10 and is used for shielding stray light of the gimbal camera 10, so as to shield unnecessary light from entering the gimbal camera 10, thereby effectively improving the imaging quality and shooting effect of the gimbal camera 10.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 to Figure 5In some embodiments, the first shell 21 further comprises a limiting arm 214. The limiting arm 214 is arranged along the length direction of the end face 213 and extends towards the first buckle 211 and is arranged in a spaced manner with the first buckle 211. The limiting arm 214 can be made of elastic material and has elasticity. When the first buckle 211 is clamped in the second buckle slot 221, the limiting arm 214 can correspond to the structure of the second buckle slot 221, and can limit the movement of the light shield 22 in the second direction, thereby limiting the light shield 22 and preventing the light shield 22 from easily separating from the first shell 21.

[0040] In some embodiments, the middle part of the body 223 of the light shield 22 is recessed to form a stepped mounting portion 224. In some embodiments, the stepped mounting portion 224 is formed with multiple levels of annular steps with different sizes. In some embodiments, the light shield assembly 20 further comprises a filter 23. The filter 23 is mounted on the mounting portion 224 of the light shield 22 and is used for filtering light. When the light shield 22 is fixedly connected to the first shell 21, the filter 23 covers the gimbal camera 10 and is used for filtering light for the gimbal camera 10 to adjust the light amount of the gimbal camera 10, so that the gimbal camera 10 can adapt to different shooting environments. In some embodiments, the filter 23 can be but is not limited to a neutral density filter (ND filter), and the filter 23 can be but is not limited to a glass material with a surface coating and has multiple different size specifications, such as 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. to provide multiple different degrees of weakening of light entering the gimbal camera 10. In some embodiments, the stepped mounting portion 224 of the light shield 22 can adapt to multiple different size specifications of the filter 23, thereby facilitating the installation of different size specifications of the filter 23. In some embodiments, the filter 23 can be fixed to the mounting portion 224 of the light shield 22 by a fixing member, for example, by adhesive bonding.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first buckle 211 is formed with a matching rib 2112 extending along the length direction of the end face 213. The second buckle slot 221 is provided with a matching hole 2212 opening along the length direction of the body 223. When the first buckle 211 is clamped in the second buckle slot 221, the matching rib 2112 is clamped in the matching hole 2212 to accurately align and clamp the first buckle 211 and the second buckle slot 221.

[0042] In some embodiments, the light shield 22 further comprises multiple protrusions 225. The multiple protrusions 225 are arranged in a spaced manner on both sides along the length direction of the body 223, and the multiple protrusions 225 are located between the second buckle 221 and the second buckle slot 222. The multiple protrusions 225 can be used to increase the friction of the surface of the body 223, facilitating the contact operation of the light shield 22 to clamp or separate from the first shell 21.

[0043] The gimbal camera module 100 further comprises a second housing 30. The first housing 21 is detachably connected with the second housing 30. When the first housing 21 is connected with the second housing 30, a receiving space 50 is enclosed between the first housing 21 and the second housing 30. The gimbal camera 10 is received in the receiving space 50 between the first housing 21 and the second housing 30. In some embodiments, the second housing 30 can be fixedly connected with the body of the aerial vehicle, so that the gimbal camera module 100 is mounted on the body of the aerial vehicle.

[0044] In some embodiments, the middle portion of the end surface 213 of the first housing 21 is recessed to form a joint portion 215. The gimbal camera module 100 further comprises a protective lens 40. The protective lens 40 is mounted on the joint portion 215 of the first housing 21 corresponding to the gimbal camera 10, so as to protect the gimbal camera 10. In some embodiments, the protective lens 40 can be fixed on the joint portion 215 of the first housing 21 by a fixing member, for example, by adhesive.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 . When assembled, the first housing 21 is connected with the second housing 30, and the gimbal camera 10 is received in the receiving space 50 between the first housing 21 and the second housing 30. The protective lens 40 is mounted on the joint portion 215 of the first housing 21. Optionally, the filter lens 23 is mounted on the mounting portion 224 of the light shield 22. In some embodiments, different specifications of filter lenses 23 can be selectively mounted on the first housing 21 according to actual shooting needs, or no filter lens 23 is mounted. The second clamping groove 221 of the light shield 22 is located on one side of the first clamping buckle 211, and the second clamping buckle 222 is located on the other side of the first clamping groove 212. The light shield 22 is moved relative to the first housing 21 along the first direction (for example, the X direction shown in Figure 6 , so that the second clamping groove 221 corresponds to the first clamping buckle 211, and the second clamping buckle 222 corresponds to the first clamping groove 212, thereby fixing and connecting the light shield 22 to the first housing 11. The limiting arm 214 limits the light shield 22. The light shield 22 can shield stray light for the gimbal camera 10. Optionally, the filter lens 23 can filter light for the gimbal camera 10. It can be understood that the plurality of protrusions 225 of the light shield 22 can be used by the operator to hold the light shield 22 for assembly work.

[0046] When disassembled, the light shield 22 is moved relative to the first housing 21 along the second direction (for example, the Y direction shown in Figure 6When the second clamping groove 221 is moved relative to the first shell 21 in the direction shown by the arrow X, the second clamping groove 221 is disengaged from the first clamping buckle 211, and the second clamping buckle 222 is disengaged from the first clamping groove 212, so that the light shield 22 is disengaged from the first shell 11. The limiting arm 214 can be elastically deformed due to external force, and the second clamping groove 221 is disengaged from the first clamping buckle 211. After the light shield 22 is disengaged, the gimbal camera 10 can be used for shooting alone.

[0047] In the light shielding assembly 20 and the gimbal camera module 100, the first clamping buckle 211 and the first clamping groove 212 are arranged on the first shell 21, the second clamping groove 221 and the second clamping buckle 222 are arranged on the light shield 22, the second clamping groove 221 is engaged with the first clamping buckle 211, and the second clamping buckle 222 is engaged with the first clamping groove 212, so that the light shield 22 is detachably connected to the first shell 21, and the light shield 22 and the first shell 21 are conveniently and detachably mounted. The light shield 22 can shield stray light for the gimbal camera 10, and the shooting effect of the gimbal camera 10 can be improved.
