Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of camera equipment suspension devices, specifically a highly adaptable camera robot track. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for video content creation, high-altitude mobile shooting equipment has become one of the important tools for improving the quality of works. However, in actual operation, environmental factors such as wind and uneven ground cause vibrations that seriously affect the shooting quality, thus limiting the application scope and development potential of these devices. In recent years, although a number of designs aimed at reducing the impact of vibration have emerged, they still cannot fully meet the requirements of high-standard operations.

[0003] To address this challenge, several common measures currently available on the market include, but are not limited to, increasing the length of the suspension arm to disperse vibration energy, installing damping devices to absorb shock waves, and using lighter materials to reduce weight. While these methods can alleviate the problem to some extent, they also have significant limitations. For example, extending the suspension arm not only increases costs but may also introduce new stability problems; lightweight design can reduce the burden but sacrifices structural strength. In addition, traditional damping devices usually rely on physical contact vibration reduction, which may lead to performance degradation or even failure after long-term use.

[0004] Overall, most products on the market today focus on improvements in a single dimension and fail to form a comprehensive and effective solution. Especially for professional-level film and television production, existing vibration reduction technologies and devices often cannot meet the requirements of high efficiency and long-term stable operation. To solve the above problems, a highly applicable camera robot track is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a highly adaptable camera robot track that can reduce camera shake caused by external environments, thereby ensuring the stability and clarity of the captured images.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a highly adaptable camera robot track, comprising two ground supports and a track, with a shock-absorbing mechanism provided between the two ground supports and the track. The shock-absorbing mechanism includes two hydraulic cylinders fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the two ground supports, and the output ends of the four hydraulic cylinders are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the track. Each hydraulic cylinder is fitted with a helical spring, and the two ends of the four helical springs are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the track and the upper surfaces of the two ground supports.

[0007] The track is equipped with a drive mechanism, and a camera mechanism is located at the bottom of the drive mechanism. The camera mechanism includes an electric push rod installed at the bottom of the drive mechanism. A stabilizer is installed at the output end of the electric push rod. A camera platform is located below the drive mechanism. The stabilizer is connected to the camera platform through a flexible connecting rod. The main body of the stabilizer is a three-axis gyroscope. The three-axis gyroscope contains a motor and a reduction mechanism to drive the camera platform to make fine adjustments according to the angle change.

[0008] Through the above scheme, when subjected to external impact, excess kinetic energy can be absorbed by the compression of the helical spring and the damping effect generated by the hydraulic oil flowing through the throttle orifice in the hydraulic cylinder, thereby keeping the camera platform stable. Furthermore, the three-axis gyroscope in the stabilizer senses the angle change of the camera platform, calculates it, and transmits power through the flexible linkage to drive the camera platform back to a horizontal state, ensuring clear and stable shooting images and reducing camera platform shaking caused by the external environment, thus ensuring the stability and clarity of the shooting images. At the same time, the set drive mechanism can make the camera platform move stably in the horizontal direction, enabling the shooting of images from different positions. Moreover, the device optimizes the overall architecture layout, enabling the various components to operate in coordination, enhancing the overall stability and reliability.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a connecting frame and a drive rod and a driven rod rotatably sleeved at both ends of the connecting frame. Both ends of the drive rod are fixedly connected to a drive wheel and a first planar gear.

[0010] The above solution allows the connecting frame to move more stably on the track.

[0011] Furthermore, a dual-axis motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame, and a second planar gear is fixedly connected to each of the two output shaft ends of the dual-axis motor, the second planar gear meshing with the first planar gear.

[0012] The above scheme can drive the second planar gear to rotate, and the rotation of the second planar gear can cause the first planar gear to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the drive wheel.

[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the driven rod are fixedly connected to driven wheels, and each of the driving wheels and driven wheels is adapted to the inner wall of the track.

[0014] With the above solution, when the dual-axis motor starts, the connecting frame can be moved stably along the track through the drive wheel and driven wheel, thus enabling the capture of images from different positions.

[0015] Furthermore, the track is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, specifically model -6061-T6.

[0016] The above scheme limits the material of the track to have excellent corrosion resistance and high load-bearing capacity, which facilitates the weight distribution of the entire system.

[0017] Furthermore, each of the ground supports has several reinforcing ribs installed on its inner wall.

[0018] The above solution can enhance the strength and stability of the ground support, which is beneficial for stabilizing the camera operation.

[0019] Furthermore, each of the ground supports is fixedly connected to a base at its bottom end, and each base has threaded holes at its four corners.

[0020] The above solution allows for a more stable installation of the ground support on the ground, thus ensuring the overall stability of the device's foundation.

[0021] Furthermore, buffer layers are fixedly connected to both ends of the inner wall of the track.

[0022] The above solution avoids the drive mechanism from directly impacting the baffles at both ends of the track when it moves to the two ends. Instead, the drive mechanism is buffered by a buffer layer, reducing the chance of damage.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This highly adaptable camera robot track features multiple stabilization mechanisms to maintain the stability and clarity of the camera platform. When impacted by external forces, the helical spring absorbs some kinetic energy through compression, while the damping effect generated by the hydraulic oil flowing through the throttle orifice in the hydraulic cylinder further absorbs the impact kinetic energy. The three-axis gyroscope in the stabilizer monitors the angle changes of the camera platform, and after calculation, the flexible linkage transmits power, enabling the camera platform to quickly adjust back to a horizontal state, ensuring clear and stable footage and reducing shaking caused by the external environment. In addition, the system is equipped with a drive mechanism, enabling the camera platform to move stably in the horizontal direction, thereby capturing images from different positions. The overall architecture of the equipment has been optimized to ensure coordinated operation between various components, significantly enhancing the stability and reliability of the system.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment of a highly adaptable camera robot track includes two ground supports 1 and one track 2. The track 2 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, specifically model 6061-T6. By limiting the material of the track 2, it has excellent corrosion resistance and high load-bearing capacity, which facilitates the weight distribution of the entire system. Each ground support 1 has several reinforcing ribs 6 installed on its inner wall. The reinforcing ribs 6 can enhance the strength and stability of the ground support 1, which is beneficial to the stable operation of the camera. Each ground support 1 is fixedly connected to a base 7 at its bottom end. Each base 7 has threaded holes at its four corners. By setting the base 7, the ground support 1 can be installed more stably on the ground, thereby ensuring the overall foundation stability of the device.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A shock-absorbing mechanism 3 is provided between the two ground supports 1 and the track 2. The two ground supports 1 are connected to the track 2 through the shock-absorbing mechanism 3. The shock-absorbing mechanism 3 includes two hydraulic cylinders 301 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the two ground supports 1. The output ends of the four hydraulic cylinders 301 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the track 2. The hydraulic cylinders 301 should conform to the SAE J748 standard to ensure reliability. When the device is subjected to external impact, the damping effect generated by the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic cylinders 301 flowing through the throttle orifice can absorb excess kinetic energy, thereby keeping the device stable. By setting each hydraulic cylinder 301 to be fitted with a helical spring 302, the two ends of the four helical springs 302 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the track 2 and the upper surface of the two ground supports 1. When the device is subjected to external impact, the compression of the helical springs 302 can cooperate with the hydraulic cylinders 301 to achieve the effect of jointly absorbing excess kinetic energy, improving the overall shock resistance of the device, thereby ensuring the stability and clarity of the captured image.

[0034] It should be noted that the appropriate stiffness coefficient of the helical spring 302 is selected based on the actual load.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The track 2 contains a drive mechanism 4, and a camera mechanism 5 is located at the bottom of the drive mechanism 4. The camera mechanism 5 includes an electric push rod 501 mounted at the bottom of the drive mechanism 4. A stabilizer 502 is mounted on the output end of the electric push rod 501. A camera platform 503 is located below the drive mechanism 4. The stabilizer 502 is connected to the camera platform 503 via a flexible connecting rod. The stabilizer 502 is a three-axis gyroscope, which contains a motor and a reduction mechanism to drive the camera platform 503 to make fine adjustments according to angle changes in order to maintain the stability of the camera platform 503. The preferred three-axis gyroscope is the ADIS16448 model, which is easy to integrate into the control system. The height of the camera platform 503 can be adjusted by the electric push rod 501. This allows the camera platform 503 to perform shooting work in a suitable position. Through the cooperation of the stabilizer 502 and the shock absorption mechanism 3, it can better mitigate external impacts and effectively reduce the impact of vibration and shaking on the camera platform 503, thereby improving the shooting quality of the camera platform 503.

[0036] It should be noted that the three-axis gyroscope in the stabilizer 502 supports the option of using a higher-level sensor.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The drive mechanism 4 includes a connecting frame 401 and a drive rod 402 and a driven rod 407 rotatably sleeved at both ends of the connecting frame 401. Both ends of the drive rod 402 are fixedly connected to a drive wheel 403 and a first planar gear 404. When the first planar gear 404 rotates, it can drive the drive rod 402 to rotate. A dual-axis motor 405 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 401. Both output shafts of the dual-axis motor 405 are fixedly connected to a second planar gear 406. The second planar gear 406 meshes with the first planar gear 404. By setting the dual-axis motor 405, the second planar gear 406 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the second planar gear 406 can drive the first planar gear 404 to rotate. The face gear 404 rotates, thereby causing the drive wheel 403 to rotate. Both ends of the driven rod 407 are fixedly connected to driven wheels 408. Each drive wheel 403 and driven wheel 408 is adapted to the inner wall of the track 2. When the dual-axis motor 405 starts, the connecting frame 401 can be moved stably along the track 2 through the drive wheel 403 and driven wheel 408, so that images from different positions can be captured. Both ends of the inner wall of the track 2 are fixedly connected to buffer layers 8, which can prevent the drive mechanism 4 from directly hitting the baffles at both ends of the track 2 when the drive mechanism 4 moves to both ends of the track 2. Instead, the buffer layers 8 buffer the drive mechanism 4, reducing the probability of damage to the drive mechanism 4.

[0038] It should be noted that when the dual-axis motor 405 starts, it can make the two drive wheels 403 move simultaneously in the same direction. With the cooperation of the two driven wheels 408, the connecting frame 401 can move more stably on the track 2, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the camera platform 503 to facilitate shooting.

[0039] In this embodiment, a highly adaptable camera robot track, when subjected to external impact, can absorb excess kinetic energy through the compression of the helical spring 302 and the damping effect generated by the hydraulic oil flowing through the throttle orifice in the hydraulic cylinder 301, thereby keeping the camera platform 503 stable. Furthermore, the three-axis gyroscope within the stabilizer 502 senses changes in the angle of the camera platform 503, calculates the angle, and transmits power through a flexible linkage to adjust the camera platform 503 back to a horizontal state, ensuring clear and stable footage and reducing shaking of the camera platform 503 caused by the external environment. This ensures the stability and clarity of the captured footage. Simultaneously, the drive mechanism 4 allows the camera platform 503 to move stably in the horizontal direction, enabling the capture of images from different positions. Moreover, this device optimizes the overall architectural layout, ensuring coordinated operation between components and enhancing overall stability and reliability.

[0040] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: During use, the camera platform 503 can be moved along the track 2 by starting the dual-axis motor 405. When the dual-axis motor 405 starts, it can drive the second planar gears 406 at the two shaft ends to rotate. The rotation of the two second planar gears 406 can cause the two first planar gears 404 to rotate simultaneously in the same direction, thereby causing the two drive wheels 403 to rotate. With the cooperation of the two driven wheels 408, the connecting frame 401 can move in the inner wall of the track 2, thereby driving the camera platform 503 installed below the connecting frame 401 to move. During the movement... In the event of external interference, the shock absorption mechanism 3 absorbs vibration energy through the preload of the helical spring 302 and the damping effect of the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic cylinder 301, maintaining system stability. At the same time, the three-axis gyroscope in the stabilizer 502 senses the angle change of the camera platform 503, calculates it, and transmits power through the flexible linkage to drive the camera platform 503 back to a horizontal state, ensuring clear and stable shooting images. Finally, during use, the height of the camera platform 503 can be adjusted by activating the electric push rod 501, optimizing the overall structural layout, enabling coordinated operation between various components, and enhancing overall stability and reliability.
