Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic gimbal technology, specifically providing a photographic gimbal control handle and a photographic gimbal. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main function of camera gimbal control handles is to improve operability and stability, including the following two points:

[0003] 1. Precise Adjustment: Provides additional grip points, allowing users to control the gimbal's pitch, pan, or rotation more flexibly, especially suitable for dynamic shooting (such as video tracking and motion shots).

[0004] 2. Stable Handheld Shooting: When you need to temporarily detach from the tripod for low-angle or handheld shooting (such as when using a monopod), the handle can enhance the stability of the grip and reduce shaking.

[0005] However, current camera gimbal control handles cannot be adapted to camera gimbals with a self-locking function. That is, the self-locking camera gimbal has a self-locking button that needs to be pressed to unlock. Therefore, when the control handle is installed on the gimbal, it needs to be unlocked immediately so that the tilt angle can be adjusted at any time. However, the existing control handles do not have this function, so there is an urgent need to design a camera gimbal control handle with an unlocking function. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides a camera gimbal control handle and a camera gimbal, which solves the problem in the prior art that after the camera gimbal control handle and camera gimbal are installed, the buttons on the camera gimbal cannot be pressed by the control handle, thus making it impossible to unlock the camera gimbal.

[0007] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a camera gimbal control handle, comprising:

[0008] The rod body includes a first sub-rod and a second sub-rod, both of which are hollow structures. The first sub-rod and the second sub-rod are interconnected and have an included angle. The ends of the first sub-rod and the second sub-rod have openings.

[0009] A rotating sleeve is fitted onto the open end of the first sub-rod and is rotatably connected to the first sub-rod;

[0010] A rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the inner cavity of the first sub-rod along the axial direction of the first sub-rod, and one end of the rotating shaft is coaxially fixed to the rotating sleeve;

[0011] The push rod is slidably installed in the inner cavity of the second sub-rod;

[0012] The cam is coaxially connected to the other end of the rotating shaft and cooperates with the push rod.

[0013] A limiting mechanism is provided between the push rod and the second sub-rod to limit the maximum sliding stroke of the push rod;

[0014] The first assembly mechanism is located at the open end of the second sub-rod and is used for movable connection with the camera gimbal.

[0015] According to the camera gimbal control handle provided by this utility model, the limiting mechanism includes:

[0016] The stroke cavity is formed along the axial direction of the push rod on the outer wall of the push rod;

[0017] A stop pin is inserted through the outer wall of the second sub-rod and extends into the stroke cavity.

[0018] The camera gimbal control handle provided by this utility model also includes:

[0019] An elastic telescopic component is disposed within the stroke cavity to provide the push rod with a sliding force that always points in the cam direction.

[0020] According to the camera gimbal control handle provided by this utility model, the elastic telescopic component is a compression spring, one end of which abuts against the stop pin, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the stroke cavity near the cam direction.

[0021] According to the camera gimbal control handle provided by this utility model, the first assembly mechanism includes:

[0022] The male head assembly is used for movable connection with the female head assembly of the camera head.

[0023] According to the camera gimbal control handle provided by this utility model, the male fitting is a nut sleeve, which is coaxially and rotatably installed on the open end of the second sub-rod, and a plurality of screws are arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the nut sleeve, which are used to cooperate with the threaded grooves on the camera gimbal screw.

[0024] Secondly, this utility model also provides a camera gimbal, including the camera gimbal control handle provided in the first aspect, and further including:

[0025] The main body of the photography gimbal;

[0026] The second assembly mechanism is installed on the main body of the camera gimbal and cooperates with the first assembly mechanism to achieve a movable connection.

[0027] This utility model provides a camera gimbal control handle. By incorporating a returnable push rod mechanism between the traditional first and second sub-stalks, it effectively solves the problem in existing technologies where the camera gimbal control handle cannot press the gimbal button. Furthermore, it effectively eliminates the need to disassemble the camera gimbal control handle and reassemble it after forgetting to activate the corresponding gimbal function following the assembly of the camera gimbal control handle. Specifically:

[0028] By using a rotating sleeve, an axial rotational torque can be provided to the rotating shaft, allowing the shaft to rotate simultaneously with the rotating sleeve. A cam coaxially located at the end of the rotating shaft and a push rod adjacent to the cam allow the push rod to move towards the first assembly mechanism, thus pressing the gimbal button. Simultaneously, a limiting mechanism is provided so that when the rotating shaft returns to its initial position, a thrust is applied to the push rod to move towards the cam, allowing the push rod to reset and release the button from pressure.

[0029] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0046] The following is combined Figures 1 to 8 The embodiments shown illustrate the technical solution of this utility model:

[0047] This utility model embodiment provides a camera gimbal control handle, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes: rod body 1, rotating sleeve 2, rotating shaft 3, push rod 4, cam 5, limiting mechanism 6 and first assembly mechanism 7;

[0048] The rod body 1 includes a first sub-rod 101 and a second sub-rod 102, both of which are hollow structures. The first sub-rod 101 and the second sub-rod 102 are interconnected at an included angle, and both the first sub-rod 101 and the second sub-rod 102 have openings at their ends. A rotating sleeve 2 is fitted onto the open end of the first sub-rod 101 and is rotatably connected to the first sub-rod 101. A rotating shaft 3 is rotatably disposed within the inner cavity of the first sub-rod 101 along the axial direction of the first sub-rod 101, and one side of the rotating shaft 3 is coaxially fixed to the rotating sleeve 2. A push rod 4 is slidably installed in the inner cavity of the second sub-rod 102. A cam 5 is coaxially connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 3 and cooperates with the push rod 4. A limiting mechanism 6 is disposed between the push rod 4 and the second sub-rod 102 to limit the maximum sliding stroke of the push rod 4. A first assembly mechanism 7 is disposed at the open end of the second sub-rod 102 and is used to movably connect with the main body of the camera gimbal.

[0049] It is understandable that the limiting mechanism 6 can be the cooperation between the stop pin and the stroke cavity, or it can be other mechanisms that can enable the push rod 4 to slide axially in the second sub-rod 102, while ensuring that the push rod 4 does not exceed the stroke limit of the second sub-rod 102 under the action of the cam 5.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the rotating sleeve 2 is rotatably sleeved on the open end of the first sub-rod 101, and one end of the rotating shaft 3 is coaxially fixed to the rotating sleeve 2, so that rotating the rotating sleeve 2 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the cam 5 set at the end of the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, thereby pushing the push rod 4 to move, so as to achieve the effect of the push rod 4 touching the gimbal button; the limiting mechanism 6 includes a stop pin stroke cavity to constrain the sliding distance of the push rod 4 when it slides on the second sub-rod 102; the open end of the second sub-rod 102 is provided with a first assembly mechanism 7. The first assembly mechanism 7 can be a male toothed ring or male head, etc., and the corresponding second assembly mechanism installed on the main body of the camera gimbal is a female toothed ring or female head, etc., so that the two can be assembled together to realize the control of the camera gimbal by the camera gimbal control handle.

[0051] This utility model provides a camera gimbal control handle. By incorporating a returnable push rod mechanism between the traditional first sub-stick 101 and second sub-stick 102, it effectively solves the problem in the prior art where the camera gimbal control handle cannot press the gimbal button. Furthermore, it effectively solves the problem of having to disassemble the camera gimbal control handle and restart the camera gimbal if the corresponding gimbal function is forgotten after assembling the camera gimbal control handle. Specifically:

[0052] By setting the rotating sleeve 2, an axial rotational torque can be provided to the rotating shaft 3, so that the rotating shaft 3 can rotate simultaneously with the rotating sleeve 2; by the cam 5 coaxially set at the end of the rotating shaft 3 and the push rod 4 set adjacent to the cam 5, the push rod 4 can move towards the first assembly mechanism 7 to press the gimbal button; at the same time, a limiting mechanism 6 is set so that when the rotating shaft 3 returns to the initial position, a pushing force is applied to the push rod 4 to move towards the cam 5, so that the push rod 4 can be reset and the button can be released.

[0053] According to the embodiments of this utility model, the camera gimbal control handle, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting mechanism 6 includes a stroke cavity 602 arranged axially along the outer wall of the push rod 4, and a stop pin 601 that passes through the outer wall of the second sub-rod 102 and extends into the stroke cavity 602.

[0054] In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism is preferably a combination of a stroke cavity 602 disposed within the second sub-rod 102 and axially disposed on the outer wall of the push rod 4, and a stop pin 601 that penetrates the second sub-rod 102 and extends into the stroke cavity 602. Therefore, the side of the push rod 4 that fits against the stop pin 601 should be hollowed out. The stop pin 601 passes through the outer wall of the second sub-rod 102 and extends into the stroke cavity 602, while being located inside the push rod 4. The arrangement of the stroke cavity 602 and the stop pin 601 ensures that when the push rod 4 moves toward the first assembly mechanism 7 under the combined action of the cam 5 disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 3, it will not extend too far, thereby reducing damage to the camera gimbal button.

[0055] According to the embodiments of this utility model, the camera gimbal control handle, such as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic telescopic member 10 is disposed in the stroke cavity 602 and is used to provide the push rod 4 with a sliding force that always moves in the direction of the cam 5.

[0056] In this embodiment, the elastic telescopic member 10 is disposed in the stroke cavity 602 and is located in the area where the push rod 4 is hollowed out. One end is in contact with the push rod 4 and the other end is in contact with the stop pin 601. The pressure exerted on the elastic telescopic member 10 by the push rod 4 causes the elastic telescopic member 10 to push the push rod 4 to slide towards the cam 5, ensuring that the push rod 4 can return to its original position after the torque acting on the rotating shaft 3 disappears.

[0057] It is understandable that the elastic telescopic component 10 can be a compression spring, elastic rubber, or elastic telescopic rod, as long as it can provide axial elastic force.

[0058] According to the embodiments of this utility model, the camera gimbal control handle, such as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic telescopic member 10 is a compression spring 1001. One end of the compression spring 1001 contacts the stop pin 601, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the stroke cavity 602 in the direction close to the cam 5.

[0059] In this embodiment, the elastic telescopic member 10 is preferably a compression spring 1001. The fixed end of the compression spring 1001 is welded to the stop pin 601, and the free end abuts against the inner wall of the hollow section of the push rod 4 in the stroke cavity 602. The free end of the compression spring 1001 can react the thrust provided by the cam 5 to the push rod 4, so that the push rod 4 obtains a sliding force that always moves in the direction of the cam 5. When the rotating sleeve 2 drives the rotating shaft 3 to return to the initial state, the elastic force on the compression spring 1001 causes the push rod 4 to return to its original position, achieving the effect of automatic retraction and reset.

[0060] According to the embodiments of this utility model, the camera gimbal control handle, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first assembly mechanism 7 includes a male head assembly 11 for movably connecting with the female head assembly 12 of the main body of the camera gimbal.

[0061] In this embodiment, the male head assembly 11 can be configured with a recessed bolt hole, and the female head assembly 12 can be a protruding bolt or a male and female toothed ring with the same number of teeth, so that the camera gimbal control handle can be connected to the camera gimbal body, and the camera gimbal control handle can press the button on the camera gimbal body through the push rod 4, thereby remotely activating the function on the camera gimbal body.

[0062] According to the embodiments of this utility model, the camera gimbal control handle, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the male fitting 11 is a nut sleeve 1101, which is coaxially and rotatably mounted on the open end of the second sub-rod 102. Multiple screws 1102 are arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the nut sleeve 1101, and the screws 1102 cooperate with the threaded grooves on the screw 801 on the camera head body 8.

[0063] In this embodiment, the male fitting 11 is preferably a nut sleeve 1101, and the female fitting 12 is a matching screw. After the male fitting 11 is screwed to the second assembly mechanism 9 on the camera gimbal body 8, the push rod 4 can move towards the open end of the second rod 102 by the thrust provided by the cam 5, thereby touching and pressing the button in the screw 801 on the camera gimbal body 8, realizing remote control of the camera gimbal body 8; at the same time, the inner wall of the nut sleeve 1101, which is the male fitting 11, is provided with multiple screws 1102, which cooperate with the threaded groove on the female fitting 12 to lock, ensuring that the camera gimbal control handle will not fall off during the movement.

[0064] This utility model embodiment also provides a photographic gimbal, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it includes the control handle as described above, as well as the camera gimbal body 8 and the second assembly mechanism 9. The second assembly mechanism 9 is installed on the camera gimbal body 8 and cooperates with the first assembly mechanism 7 to achieve a movable connection.

[0065] In this embodiment, the main body 8 of the camera gimbal includes a second assembly mechanism 9. Preferably, a screw 801 is provided on the second assembly mechanism 9, and the screw 801 is a hollow structure. The button of the main body 8 of the camera gimbal is provided inside the screw 801. A locking seat 802 is provided close to the second assembly mechanism 9. A moving seat 803 is coaxially provided on the locking seat 802, and a base 804 is provided at the bottom of the locking seat 802.

[0066] Therefore, after the screw 801 is screwed into the nut sleeve 1101 at the open end of the second sub-rod 102, the button on the main body 8 of the camera gimbal can be pressed through the camera gimbal control handle to realize the function of remotely unlocking the camera gimbal. The self-locking structure set between the locking seat 802, the moving seat 803 and the base 804 of the camera gimbal effectively prevents the camera equipment from falling off.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
