Detailed Implementation
[0044] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0045] Gimbal cameras contain sophisticated mechanical structures and electronic components. The mechanical structures, such as the gimbal's motor and hinges, ensure the camera's stability and flexible rotation. The electronic components, including the image sensor and processor, are crucial for the camera's imaging and functionality. Impacts can cause mechanical parts to misalign, affecting the gimbal's stability, while water, dust, and other contaminants entering the camera can damage the electronic components, leading to camera malfunction. Therefore, when the gimbal camera is not in use, it is essential to equip it with a protective case to protect it from scratches and abrasions.
[0046] However, in order to make the gimbal camera easy to take out and put in, the existing gimbal camera protective shell has an opening, and when the gimbal camera is assembled in the protective shell, part of the gimbal camera is exposed in the opening area. Therefore, the exposed part of the gimbal camera is still prone to scratches.
[0047] To this end, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the technical scheme provides a protective cover, which comprises a protective cover body 1, the protective cover body 1 is used for covering the gimbal camera protective shell 3, and the shape of the protective cover body 1 is matched with the shape of the gimbal camera protective shell. Generally, the gimbal camera protective shell 3 is a long strip-shaped cuboid, has an inner cavity 31, the inner cavity 31 is provided with a gimbal camera, and an opening 32 to the outside is formed on the outer side of the inner cavity 31. After the protective cover body 1 is covered on the gimbal camera protective shell 3, the opening 32 is closed, thereby avoiding the area of the gimbal camera exposed in the opening 32 from being scratched.
[0048] One end of the protective cover body 1 is pivotally connected with an assembly part 2; the other end of the assembly part 2 away from the pivot is detachably connected with the gimbal camera protective shell 3; and the protective cover body 1 is pivotally connected with the assembly part 2, so that the protective cover body 1 covers the inner cavity 31 of the gimbal camera protective shell 3 when covering and exposes the inner cavity 31 of the gimbal camera protective shell 3 when opening.
[0049] It should be understood that when the gimbal camera needs to be placed in a backpack, the gimbal camera needs to be first placed in the inner cavity 31, and then the protective cover body 1 is covered on the gimbal camera protective shell 3 to close the opening 32, so that the entire gimbal camera is placed inside the gimbal camera protective shell 3.
[0050] When the gimbal camera needs to be used, the protective cover body 1 is only needed to be opened from the side of the gimbal camera protective shell 3 to expose the gimbal camera, so that the gimbal camera can be taken out from the inner cavity 31.
[0051] As shown in Figure 3 , one end of the pivot connection between the protective cover body 1 and the assembly part 2 is a fixed end 12. The fixed end 12 is defined as follows: the up-down direction of the paper is the Y axis, the left direction perpendicular to the Y axis is the X axis, and the direction perpendicular to the paper is the Z axis.
[0052] The protective cover body 1 has a movable end 13 at the other end of the X axis direction and away from the fixed end 12, and the assembly part 2 enables the movable end 13 of the protective cover body 1 to move up and down relative to the fixed end 12 in the XY plane under the action of an external force.
[0053] In detail, the assembling part 2 has a clamping groove 21 on the side facing the protective cover body 1; the outer side of the clamping groove 21 extends outwardly with a pivot piece 23, the pivot piece 23 is axially arranged with a through hole 233, the through hole 233 is used for connecting a hanging rope.
[0054] The pivot piece 23 also has a through hole 231 on the Z axis, the through hole 231 penetrates from one side of the pivot piece 23 to the other side; the through hole 231 is inserted with a pin shaft 232, both ends of the pin shaft 232 are exposed from both sides of the through hole 231 and are respectively inserted with the protective cover body 1. It should be understood that the pin shaft 232 is a cylindrical part, and the through hole 231 is a circular hole. In use, when the movable end 13 of the protective cover body 1 is subjected to an external force, the protective cover body 1 drives the pin shaft 232 to rotate in the through hole 231, so that the movable end 13 of the protective cover body 1 can rotate around the fixed end 12, thereby realizing that the protective cover body 1 can cover or open the gimbal camera protective shell 3.
[0055] In an embodiment of the utility model, as shown in Figure 4 The clamping groove 21 extends inwardly with a protruding block 22 on both sides; the protective cover body 1 has a clamping hook part 11 at the position corresponding to the clamping groove 21; when the protective cover body 1 is covered on the gimbal camera protective shell 3, the clamping hook part 11 just falls into the clamping groove 21.
[0056] It should be understood that in this way, when the protective cover body 1 is not subjected to an external force, the clamping groove 21 and the clamping hook part 11 are tightly matched to realize that the protective cover body 1 is locked and covered on the gimbal camera protective shell 3, avoiding that the protective cover body 1 cannot close the opening 32 and exposing the gimbal camera.
[0057] In detail, as shown in Figure 5 The protruding block 22 has a first guide surface 221 on the upward-facing side, and a first stop surface 222 on the side opposite to the first guide surface 221; the clamping hook part 11 has an entering end 111 on the downward-facing side, the entering end 111 extends upwardly on one side to form a second guide surface 112, and a second stop surface 113 on the side opposite to the second guide surface 112; when the protective cover body 1 is covered on the gimbal camera protective shell 3, the second guide surface 112 moves along the first guide surface 221 until the entering end 111 enters the bottom 211 of the clamping groove 21, and the first stop surface 222 and the second stop surface 113 are in abutting contact.
[0058] It should be understood that the friction between the abutment contact between the first stop surface 222 and the second stop surface 113 causes the protective cover body 1 to not expose the opening 32 when no external force is applied.
[0059] Conversely, when the protective cover body 1 is subjected to an upward force greater than the friction between the abutment contact between the first stop surface 222 and the second stop surface 113, at this time, the second stop surface 113 moves upward along the slope direction of the first stop surface 222 under the action of the external force, so that the hook portion 11 is separated from the clamping groove 21, and further the protective cover body 1 is lifted from the gimbal camera protection 3 to expose the inner cavity 31 to take out the gimbal camera.
[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 The assembly portion 2 includes a limiting hole 24, which is located below the clamping groove 21; the inner side end of the limiting hole 24 has an extension piece 25, which has a fixed end 252 and a free end 251; the fixed end 252 is integrally connected with the inner side end of the limiting hole 24; when the extension piece 25 is not subjected to external force, the free end 252 is at an initial position A outside the limiting hole 24; when the extension piece 25 is subjected to external force, the free end 252 moves toward the limiting hole 24 to move from the initial position A to a second position B. That is, the free end 252 can move relative to the fixed end 252 under the action of external force.
[0061] It should be further explained that in the present embodiment, the gimbal camera protection shell 3 has a groove 33 and a hole position 34 that communicates the groove 33 with the outside, and the hole position 34 is located on one side of the groove 33.
[0062] In use, when the portion of the assembly portion 2 with the limiting hole 24 is inserted into the groove 33, due to the elastic property of the extension piece 25, in the process of the extension piece 25 entering the groove 33, the extension piece 25 first moves from the initial position A after encountering the inner wall of the groove 33, is constrained by the inner wall of the groove 33 to move in the direction of the limiting hole 24, and when the portion of the assembly portion 2 with the limiting hole 24 enters the bottom of the groove 33, the free end 251 of the extension piece 25 is just at the position of the hole position 34 and the extension piece 25 is just exposed from the hole position 34 and returns to the initial position A due to the absence of the constraint of the inner wall of the groove 33.
[0063] In another use scenario, the user can press the free end 251 of the extension piece 25 to move it from the initial position A to the second position B in the direction of the limiting hole 24, and then pull the part of the assembly part 2 with the limiting hole 24 out of the groove 33 from the direction perpendicular to the gimbal camera protective shell, so as to separate the protective cover body 1 from the gimbal camera protective shell 3.
[0064] In an embodiment of the utility model, as shown in the figure, Figure 6 The free end 251 extends outward to form a protruding part 2511, which is used for connecting with the gimbal camera protective shell 3.
[0065] It should be noted that the shape of the protruding part 2511 is matched with the shape of the hole position 34, when the extension piece 25 is in the hole position 34, the protruding part 2511 just fills the hole position 34, and the protruding part 2511 is exposed in the hole position 34, so as to facilitate the user to press it.
[0066] In an embodiment of the utility model, as shown in the figure, Figure 7 The inner top surface of the protective cover body 1 has an assembly groove 14, which is used for installing a protective pad. The protective pad is preferably made of sponge, PP cotton or other materials with buffering performance.
[0067] It should be understood that when the protective cover body 1 is covered on the opening 32 of the gimbal camera protective shell, the protective pad can buffer the impact force of the collision when the protective cover body 1 is subjected to external force collision, so as to avoid the inner top surface of the protective cover body 1 scratching the gimbal camera.
[0068] In an embodiment of the utility model, the inner top surface of the protective cover body 1 also has at least one installation groove 15, which is used for installing a filter lens. It should be understood that such design can make full use of space to store the filter lens. Of course, the installation groove 15 has multiple to place more filter lenses.
[0069] In another embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 8 A gimbal camera protection device, comprising the above-mentioned protective cover 10 and protective bottom shell 20; the protective cover body 10 can be opened and closed on the protective bottom shell 20 through the assembly part 30. So that the user takes out or puts in the gimbal camera from the protective bottom shell 20.
[0070] In summary, the technical scheme of the protective cover comprises a protective cover body 1, which is realized by an assembly part 2 to cover the inner cavity 31 of the gimbal camera protective shell 3 when closed and to open the inner cavity 31 of the gimbal camera protective shell 3 when opened, thereby avoiding the problem that the part of the gimbal camera located in the opening 32 area is easily scratched and facilitating the taking and placing of the gimbal camera.
