Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suspension device technology, specifically to a camera suspension device for drone aerial photography. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, its application areas are constantly expanding, especially in scenarios requiring high-quality image acquisition such as film and television shooting, surveying, and inspection, where drone cameras play a crucial role. However, existing drone camera mounting devices have significant limitations.

[0003] Ordinary suspension systems struggle to handle the complex movements of drones during flight. When a drone wobbles left or right or back and forth, the camera easily shakes, resulting in severe tilting and shaky footage that significantly impacts image and video quality. In film and television production, unstable footage degrades visual effects and fails to meet professional shooting requirements; in surveying, tilted images can lead to deviations in measurement data, affecting surveying accuracy; and during inspections, blurry, shaky footage hinders accurate identification of target objects.

[0004] With the market demanding increasing stability and accuracy of drone footage, it is urgent to develop a suspension device that can ensure the camera remains horizontally stable even when the drone is rotating or swaying. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a camera suspension device for drone aerial photography in order to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A camera suspension device for drone aerial photography includes a connecting base that is threadedly connected to the drone body. A connecting post is threadedly connected to the connecting base, and a suspension device is disposed below the connecting post. The suspension device includes a left-right rotating frame and a right-up rotating frame. A gyroscope mechanism and two counterweights are disposed on the right-side of the gyroscope mechanism. A camera is disposed on the gyroscope mechanism, which includes a rotating disk, a locking disk, and a motor.

[0008] Furthermore, the left and right rotating frame includes a connecting horizontal tube, a first steering tube, two rotating mechanisms, and two first connecting pipe fittings. The connecting horizontal tube includes a tee pipe, two second steering tubes, and two second connecting pipe fittings. The first steering tube is fixedly installed together with the bottom of the connecting column. Each rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft and two bearings. The two bearings on the rotating mechanism are respectively fixedly snapped into the inside of the two first connecting pipe fittings. The other ends of the two first connecting pipe fittings are respectively fixedly snapped into the first steering tube and the tee pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper and lower rotating frame includes an installation tube, two third steering tubes, two third connecting pipes, and two rotating mechanisms. The third steering tubes are fixedly connected to the third connecting pipes, and each of the rotating mechanisms is disposed between the third connecting pipe and the installation tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting tube has a snap-fit ​​groove, and the snap-fit ​​disc snaps into the mounting tube at the position of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is provided on the mounting tube, and the mounting bracket and the snap-fit ​​plate are fixedly mounted on the mounting tube together by the first bolt, and the camera is snapped onto the mounting bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, a second bolt is provided on the mounting tube, and the counterweight is fixedly mounted on the mounting tube by the second bolt.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention establishes a stable and reliable connection structure between the suspension device and the UAV body through a threaded connection between the connecting seat and the connecting column, ensuring that the entire device will not easily loosen during flight and laying a solid foundation for stable camera operation. Simultaneously, the gyro mechanism and counterweight on the upper and lower rotating frames work together, utilizing the gyro effect and the weight balance of the counterweight to effectively resist various attitude changes during UAV flight, greatly enhancing camera stability. Even when the UAV performs large movements such as rolling or tilting, the camera can remain relatively stable, effectively suppressing shaking.

[0015] This invention, through the design of its suspension device, enables it to adapt to various complex flight environments and mission requirements. Whether in strong winds or when rapid turns or sudden stops are required, it ensures stable camera operation, meets the diverse needs of different industries for drone aerial photography, and promotes the in-depth application of drones in more fields.

[0016] In summary, the suspension system design effectively resists changes in the drone's attitude, suppresses camera shake, and can adapt to complex flight environments and missions such as strong winds and rapid turns. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] A preferred embodiment of the present invention, a camera suspension device for drone aerial photography, will be described in detail below.

[0027] Example 1, as Figures 1-7As shown, a camera suspension device 3 for drone aerial photography includes a connecting seat 1, which is threadedly connected to the drone body. A connecting post 2 is threadedly connected to the connecting seat 1. A suspension device 3 is arranged below the connecting post 2. The suspension device 3 includes a left-right rotating frame 4 and an up-down rotating frame 5. A gyroscope mechanism 6 and two counterweights 7 are arranged on the up-down rotating frame 5. The two counterweights 7 are arranged on both sides of the gyroscope mechanism 6. A camera is arranged on the gyroscope mechanism 6. The gyroscope mechanism 6 includes a rotating disk 61, a locking disk 62, and a motor 63.

[0028] During operation, the connecting seat 1 is tightly connected to the drone body via threads, providing a stable mounting base for the entire suspension system. The connecting column 2 is also threaded onto the connecting seat 1, playing a crucial role in connecting the connecting seat and the suspension system 3, ensuring a secure connection between the suspension system and the drone. To prevent camera shake due to turning, the gyro mechanism 6 and two counterweights 7 on the upper and lower rotating frame 5 are core components ensuring camera stability. The rotating disk 61 and the locking plate 62 in the gyro mechanism 6 work together, with the motor 63 providing power to the rotating disk 61, causing it to rotate at high speed. Based on the gyro effect, regardless of how the drone flies or changes its attitude, the rotating disk 61 maintains its stable direction, thereby driving the connected camera to maintain a stable shooting angle. The two counterweights 7 are distributed on both sides of the gyro mechanism 6. During drone flight, the weight of the counterweights 7 keeps the camera horizontal, reducing shaking and maintaining a relatively stable position. Even during large movements such as rolling and tilting of the drone, the counterweights effectively suppress camera shake, ensuring the stability and clarity of the captured footage, meeting the requirements of high-quality aerial photography.

[0029] It is worth noting that the left-right rotating frame 4 and the up-down rotating frame 5 provide a basis for the camera to maintain balance through the gyroscope mechanism 6 and the counterweight 7.

The two bearings 441 on the rotating mechanism 44 are respectively fixedly snapped into the inside of the two first connecting pipe fittings 43. The other ends of the two first connecting pipe fittings 43 are respectively fixedly snapped into the first steering tube 42 and the tee pipe 413.

[0031] Example 2, as Figures 3-7As shown, the upper and lower rotating frame 5 includes a mounting pipe 53, two third steering pipes 51, two third connecting pipes 52 and two rotating mechanisms 44.
