It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims.
[0033] According to a first aspect of this application, an adapter structure for a gimbal module is proposed. The adapter structure of the gimbal module according to an embodiment of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The gimbal module adapter structure 10 includes a gimbal module 11 and adapter components 12 rotatably connected to both sides of the gimbal module 11. The gimbal module 11 includes a front shell 111 and a rear shell 112, which are fitted together to form a cavity 113 for accommodating a lens assembly. The adapter component 12 includes an adapter housing 121 and a rotating shaft 122. The adapter housing 121 is fixedly connected to the boom 20, the first end of the rotating shaft 122 is fixedly connected to the adapter housing 121, and the second end of the rotating shaft 122 is rotatably connected to the gimbal module 11.
[0035] For details, please refer to Figure 6 The adapter housing 121 has an annular groove 1211, and the rotating shaft 122 is hollow. The first end of the rotating shaft 122 is inserted and fixed in the annular groove 1211, and a wire-passing hole 1221 is formed through the side wall of the rotating shaft 122 near the first end. The laid wire can extend into the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 122 through the wire-passing hole 1221, and finally extend into the cavity 113 of the gimbal module 11 to connect with the lens assembly and other components.
[0036] Furthermore, a waterproof sealing layer (not shown in the figure) is provided within the annular groove 1211. In this embodiment, the waterproof sealing layer is an adhesive layer.
[0037] By opening the annular embedding groove 1211 on the adapter shell 121, the rotating shaft 122 is embedded in the annular embedding groove 1211, and the waterproof sealing between the rotating shaft 122 and the adapter shell 121 is better, and further sealed by the waterproof sealing layer, which not only ensures the waterproof sealing of the connection between the rotating shaft 122 and the adapter shell 121, but also increases the connection firmness between the rotating shaft 122 and the adapter shell 121. At the same time, the adapter 12 adopts the split structure of the rotating shaft 122 and the adapter shell 121, so that the wire hole 1221 can be opened on the side wall of the rotating shaft 122 when it is formed, thereby solving the problems of wire routing and waterproofing of the adapter 12.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Further, the adapter 12 further comprises a fixing member 123, and the fixing member 123 comprises a connecting portion 1231 and a screw 1232.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting seat 1212 is circumferentially formed on the adapter shell 121.
[0040] Through the fixing effect of the fixing member 123, the connection between the rotating shaft 122 and the adapter shell 121 is more reliable, so as to ensure that the holder module 11 is more stable and reliable when rotating around the rotating shaft 122.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The adapter structure 10 of the holder module further comprises a rotating assembly 13, and the two sides of the front shell 111 and the rear shell 112 of the holder module 11 are respectively rotatably connected with the second end of the rotating shaft 122 through the rotating assembly 13.
[0042] Specifically, the rotating assembly 13 comprises a flange plate 131 and a bearing member 132. The bearing member 132 is sleeved on the second end of the rotating shaft 122, and the flange plate 131 is rotatably connected with the bearing member 132. One side of the front shell 111 and the rear shell 112 is fixed on the flange plate 131 by a lock screw. Thus, the entire holder module 11 can rotate around the rotating shaft 122 through the flange plate 131.
[0043] In summary, the switching structure 10 of the gimbal module proposed in the application achieves the following beneficial effects: first, the rotating shaft 122 is embedded in the annular groove 1211 and further sealed by the waterproof sealing layer, thereby ensuring the waterproof sealing of the connection between the rotating shaft 122 and the switching shell 121; second, the rotating shaft 122 is provided with a wire passing hole 1221, the wire enters the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 122 through the wire passing hole 1221, the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 122 can provide a wire routing space, and the wire can be easily combed; third, one end of the rotating shaft 122 is fixedly connected with the switching shell 121 through the waterproof sealing layer and the fixing member 123, and the other end of the rotating shaft 122 is rotatably connected with the gimbal module 11 through the rotating assembly 13, and the rotation of the entire gimbal module 11 is reliable and stable.

One end of the roll shaft 22 and the pitch shaft 23 is connected with the heading shaft 21 respectively, and the other end of the roll shaft 22 and the pitch shaft 23 is used for fixedly connecting with the switching shell 121.
[0045] In the embodiment, the roll shaft 22 and the pitch shaft 23 are fixedly connected with the switching shell 121 through locking screws.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The heading shaft 21, the roll shaft 22 and the pitch shaft 23 are all provided with wire routing grooves 211 inside, and the end of the switching shell 121 connected with the roll shaft 22 / pitch shaft 23 is provided with a wire passing groove 1213 for passing wires.
