Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic gimbal technology, specifically to an adjustable, integrated spherical gimbal for both photography and videography. Background Technology

[0002] Gimbals are the most commonly used equipment for cameras. Ball heads are mainly used for still photography, characterized by their compact size and flexible rotation. However, because ball heads can rotate in all directions, they are not suitable for video shooting. Video shooting mainly involves horizontal and vertical camera movements (two-dimensional rotation), so the two-dimensional structure of video heads is not well-suited for photography. Furthermore, video heads often use leveling functions, which ball heads lack due to their omnidirectional rotation. Therefore, there are significant differences in functionality between photographic and video gimbals. Current technology cannot perfectly integrate photographic and video gimbals. Some dual-purpose gimbals on the market always compromise on one aspect and cannot simultaneously meet all the functions required for photography and videography. The technology is still immature, so consumers can only purchase two gimbals to use interchangeably.

[0003] In conclusion, how to design a spherical gimbal that can be used for photography and videography while also having horizontal angle adjustment capabilities is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable, integrated spherical gimbal for both photography and videography. This spherical gimbal has the two-dimensional rotation feature of a video gimbal, and at the same time, the leveling function of the video gimbal is also concentrated at the bottom of the gimbal for control. This integrated design, which combines the sphere, gimbal base, and hemisphere into one unit, meets all the functional requirements of both photography (three-dimensional rotation) and videography (two-dimensional rotation + hemispherical leveling) gimbals, thereby solving the problem of the current immature dual-purpose gimbal technology mentioned in the background art, which is incomplete in addressing one aspect while neglecting another.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable, integrated ball head for both photography and videography includes a ball head base with open top and bottom ends. A ball sleeve is installed in the top opening of the ball head base, and a ball is rotatably installed in the ball sleeve. A clamp is installed on the ball, and a support is fixedly installed inside the ball head base. A hemispherical base for adjusting the horizontal angle of the ball head is connected below the support.

[0007] Between the sphere and the receiving seat, and between the hemispherical seat and the receiving seat, a sphere locking mechanism and a hemispherical locking mechanism are respectively provided for locking the sphere and the hemispherical seat. A switching mechanism for limiting the rotation direction of the sphere is connected to the sphere locking mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the hemispherical seat includes a bowl-shaped hemisphere, and a hemispherical gasket is coupled into the inner spherical surface of the hemisphere;

[0009] A connecting screw is installed in the hemispherical washer, and the threaded end of the connecting screw passes through the hemispherical washer, the hemisphere and the hemispherical locking mechanism in sequence and is threadedly connected to the receiving seat.

[0010] A base for connecting to a tripod is fixedly installed in the bottom opening of the hemisphere.

[0011] Furthermore, the ball locking mechanism includes a pusher A slidably mounted on the top of the receiving seat, a pusher B slidably connected to the inner wall of the gimbal seat mounted above the pusher A, the opposite surfaces of the two pushers are respectively provided with inclined surface structures with the same slope, and a drive assembly A is connected to the pusher A;

[0012] When the pusher A moves horizontally relative to the pusher B under the action of the drive assembly A, the pusher A can use the inclined structure to push the pusher B to move and lock the ball.

[0013] Furthermore, the pusher B protrudes to one side of the pusher A to form two spaced-apart protrusions, and the inclined structure is disposed on the protrusions;

[0014] The protrusion and the inclined structure of the pusher A are respectively provided with receiving holes, a sleeve is embedded in the receiving hole, a spring A is installed in the sleeve, and a ball is installed at the other end of the spring A.

[0015] Furthermore, the pusher A has a lead screw hole on its side, and the drive assembly A includes a lead screw threaded into the lead screw hole;

[0016] A fixed sleeve is threaded onto the gimbal base. The inner wall of the fixed sleeve is in smooth contact with the outer surface of the lead screw. The lead screw extends out of the gimbal base through the fixed sleeve. A knob A is fixedly connected to the extended end of the lead screw.

[0017] A retaining ring is fixedly installed on the lead screw, and the retaining ring is used to cooperate with the fixing sleeve to restrict the horizontal movement of the lead screw.

[0018] Furthermore, the pusher B has a horizontally extending inward mounting groove on its side, and the switching mechanism includes a toggle mechanism installed in the mounting groove;

[0019] The inner wall of the pusher B is also vertically provided with a sliding groove that communicates with the mounting groove. A ball limiting block is slidably assembled in the sliding groove. A strip-shaped opening is provided on the surface of the ball. When the ball limiting block is extended into the opening under the action of the actuating mechanism, the ball only pitches along the arc direction of the opening or rotates horizontally around the center line of the ball limiting block.

[0020] Furthermore, the spherical limiting block has a through groove on its side, and the actuating mechanism includes a switching rod that is slidably assembled in the mounting groove. A pin is fixedly connected to the switching rod and the pin is inserted into the groove.

[0021] A spring B is installed between the switching rod and the end wall of the mounting groove, and a drive assembly B for pushing the switching rod to slide along the mounting groove is installed on the gimbal base.

[0022] Furthermore, the drive assembly B includes an outer sleeve that is threadedly connected to the gimbal base, a screw is threadedly connected to the outer sleeve, and a knob B is fixedly connected to the outward end of the screw.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] 1. The spherical gimbal of this utility model is no different from an ordinary spherical gimbal when the switching mechanism is not inserted into the opening of the sphere. The sphere can rotate freely. The sphere can be unlocked or locked by the sphere locking mechanism to adjust or fix the shooting angle and meet the needs of image shooting.

[0025] 2. When the sphere is not locked and the switching mechanism is inserted into the opening of the sphere, the vertical rotation of the sphere is restricted, and the sphere will not sway left and right in the vertical direction. At this time, the sphere can not only pitch and rotate along the arc of the opening, but also rotate horizontally (two-dimensional movement), which can meet the needs of video shooting.

[0026] 3. When the hemispherical locking mechanism does not lock the hemispherical seat, the pan-tilt head can swing around the outer spherical surface of the hemispherical seat, thereby enabling the pan-tilt head to have a leveling function (to be leveled in conjunction with the level on the clamp), thus meeting the leveling requirements of the camera pan-tilt head.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of this utility model will be specifically described in the following description. It should be understood that this utility model can have various variations in different embodiments, all of which do not depart from the scope of this utility model, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit this utility model.

[0041] In the description of this application, the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the structure referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable integrated ball head for both photography and videography, including a ball head base 1 with open top and bottom ends, a ball sleeve 2 vertically inserted into the top opening of the ball head base 1, a ball 3 with a connecting column rotatably installed in the ball sleeve 2, the connecting column having a threaded interface, a clamp 4 installed on the connecting column by threads, the clamp 4 being used for camera mounting, a support seat 5 being fixedly installed inside the ball head base 1 by screws, and a hemispherical seat 6 for adjusting the horizontal angle of the ball head connected below the support seat 5;

[0043] Between the sphere 3 and the receiving seat 5, and between the hemispherical seat 6 and the receiving seat 5, a sphere locking mechanism 7 and a hemispherical locking mechanism 9 are respectively provided for locking the sphere 3 and the hemispherical seat 6. A switching mechanism 8 for limiting the rotation direction of the sphere 3 is connected to the sphere locking mechanism 7.

[0044] Regarding the ball locking mechanism 7:

[0045] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The ball locking mechanism 7 includes a pusher A71 slidably mounted on the top of the receiving seat 5. Above the pusher A71 is a pusher B72 slidably connected to the inner wall of the gimbal base 1. The pusher is preferably disc-shaped, but can also be rectangular or other shapes as needed. The inner wall of the gimbal base 1 has a guide groove (not shown). The outer circumferential surface of the pusher B72 is integrally formed with a guide block (not shown) that cooperates with the guide groove to restrict the circumferential rotation of the pusher B72, so that the pusher B72 only moves in the vertical direction.

[0046] Please see Figure 6The bottom of the pusher A71 is provided with a groove 10, and a needle roller 11 is installed in the groove 10. The shape of the needle roller 11 is preferably cylindrical, but it can also be spherical. The diameter of the needle roller 11 is greater than the depth of the groove 10. The needle roller 11 extends out of the groove 10. The needle roller 11 can change the sliding friction between the pusher A71 and the receiving seat 5 during the movement of the pusher A71 into rolling friction, and reduce the contact area between the pusher A71 and the receiving seat 5 during the movement of the pusher A71. This reduces the friction generated during the movement of the pusher A71, making the movement of the pusher A71 more light and smooth.

[0047] Please see Figure 5 The pusher B72 protrudes towards one side of the pusher A71 to form two spaced-apart protrusions 75. The opposing surfaces of the protrusions 75 and the pusher A71 are respectively provided with inclined surface structures 73 with the same slope. The inclined surfaces of the two inclined surface structures 73 fit together. The protrusions 75 can reduce the contact area between the pusher A71 and the pusher B72, thereby reducing the frictional force generated when the pusher A71 moves and pushes the pusher B72 through the inclined surface structures 73.

[0048] Please see Figure 5 The protrusion 75 and the inclined structure 73 of the pusher A71 are respectively provided with receiving holes 76. A sleeve 77 is embedded in the receiving hole 76, and a spring A78 is installed in the sleeve 77. A ball 79 is installed at the other end of the spring A78. In the natural state, the ball 79 abuts against the opening of the sleeve 77 under the action of the spring A78. The ball 79 is in a state of half protruding from the sleeve 77. When the ball 3 is unlocked, the spring A78 and the ball 79 push the pusher B72 to move and abut against the ball 3, so that the ball 3 and the pusher B72 maintain a certain damping force, so as to prevent the ball 3 from being too loose and wobbling when unlocking.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 The pusher A71 is connected to a drive assembly A. The pusher A71 has a lead screw hole 741 on its side. The drive assembly A includes a lead screw 742 threaded into the lead screw hole 741. By turning the knob A744, the lead screw 742 is driven to rotate, thereby precisely adjusting the moving distance of the pusher A71.

[0050] When the pusher A71 moves horizontally relative to the pusher B72 under the combined action of the knob A744 and the lead screw 742, the pusher A71 can push the pusher B72 to move by means of the inclined structure 73, thereby locking the ball 3; when the pusher A71 moves away from the inclined surface of the pusher B72 under the drive of the lead screw 742, the pusher B72 falls freely under the action of gravity, and the ball 3 will be unlocked.

[0051] By utilizing the precision adjustment feature of the lead screw 742, the rotation of the lead screw 742 controls the precise displacement of the pusher A71 in the axial direction of the lead screw 742, thereby achieving precise control over the clamping force and damping feel of the ball 3. At the same time, the lead screw 742 has a positioning function for the pusher A71, which also ensures that the damping force of the ball 3 remains constant when it rotates.

[0052] Secondly, by utilizing the principle of inclined planes, the lateral torque provided by the lead screw 742 is further amplified (the vertical torque is amplified), making it easier and more comfortable to operate the knob to lock the ball 3.

[0053] Please see Figure 4 The gimbal base 1 is threaded with a fixing sleeve 743. The inner wall of the fixing sleeve 743 is in smooth contact with the outer surface of the lead screw 742. The lead screw 742 passes through the fixing sleeve 743 and extends out of the gimbal base 1. The extended end of the lead screw 742 is fixedly connected with a knob A744.

[0054] A retaining ring 745 is fixedly installed on the lead screw 742. The retaining ring 745 is located in front of the fixing sleeve 743 and is used to cooperate with the fixing sleeve 743 to restrict the horizontal movement of the lead screw 742, prevent the lead screw 742 from moving outward when it is turned, and ensure that the lead screw 742 effectively drives the pusher A71 to move horizontally.

[0055] Regarding the switching mechanism 8:

[0056] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 7 The pusher B72 has a horizontally extending inward mounting groove 81 on its side, and the switching mechanism 8 includes a toggle mechanism 82 installed in the mounting groove 81.

[0057] The inner wall of the pusher B72 is also vertically provided with a sliding groove 83 that communicates with the mounting groove 81. A spherical limiting block 84 is slidably assembled in the sliding groove 83. A strip-shaped opening 85 is provided on the spherical surface of the sphere 3. The cross-section of the opening 85 is arc-shaped. The opening 85 is symmetrical about the central axis of the sphere 3 and the connecting column on the sphere 3. The midpoint of the opening 85, the center line of the connecting column, and the central axis of the sphere 3 coincide.

[0058] When the horizontal cross-section of the ball limiting block 84 is square, and the ball limiting block 84 extends into the opening 85 under the action of the actuation mechanism 82, the gimbal is in camera mode (the ball 3 is not locked by the ball locking mechanism 7). The ball 3 is restricted from horizontal rotation by the square ball limiting block 84. The ball 3 can only tilt and rotate (one-dimensional movement) along the arc of the opening 85. At the same time, the ball 3 will not sway left and right in the vertical direction, which meets the video shooting requirements (the purpose of restricting the horizontal rotation of the ball 3 is: the horizontal rotation is handled by the panoramic gimbal above the gimbal, and the damping feel of the panoramic gimbal when moving the camera is better than the damping feel of the ball 3 when rotating horizontally).

[0059] When the ball limiting block 84 moves downward and disengages from the opening 85, the ball 3 can rotate freely without restriction. This is the photography mode, and the camera (glob head ball) can be adjusted to any desired angle for shooting. The ball locking mechanism 7 can lock the ball 3 to fix the shooting angle.

[0060] When the horizontal cross-section of the sphere limiting block 84 is circular, and the sphere limiting block 84 extends into the opening 85 under the action of the actuating mechanism 82, the sphere 3 can not only pitch and rotate along the arc direction of the opening 85, but also rotate horizontally around the center line of the sphere limiting block 84 (two-dimensional movement). Thus, by driving the sphere limiting block 84 to extend into the opening 85, the freedom of the sphere 3 is restricted, and the sphere 3 will not sway left and right in the vertical direction to meet the needs of video shooting. This mode can meet the needs of outdoor ecological shooting (birding, animal running) or video shooting.

[0061] Please see Figure 7The spherical limiting block 84 has a through-hole groove 821 on its side. The actuating mechanism 82 includes a switching rod 822 slidably assembled in the mounting groove 81. A pin 824 is fixedly connected to the switching rod 822 and is inserted into the groove 821. When the switching rod 822 moves into the mounting groove 81, the pin 824 presses against the upward-sloping groove wall of the groove 821, thereby causing the spherical limiting block 84 to move downward and disengage from the opening 85. Conversely, when the switching rod 822 moves out of the mounting groove 81, the pin 824 presses against the downward-sloping groove wall of the groove 821, thereby causing the spherical limiting block 84 to move upward and extend into the opening 85, thus restricting the movement direction of the spherical 3.

[0062] Please see Figure 7 A spring B825 is installed between the switching rod 822 and the end wall of the mounting groove 81. When the outer end of the switching rod 822 is not under force, the switching rod 822 is automatically pushed outward under the force generated by the deformation of the spring B825, driving the ball limiting block 84 to extend into the opening 85.

[0063] The gimbal base 1 is equipped with a drive assembly B826 for pushing the switching rod 822 to slide along the mounting groove 81. The drive assembly B826 can manually push the switching rod 822 into the mounting groove 81, thereby causing the ball limiting block 84 to move downward and disengage from the opening 85, thus releasing the restriction on the movement direction of the ball 3.

[0064] Please see Figure 7 The drive assembly B826 includes an outer sleeve 8261 threadedly connected to the gimbal base 1. A screw 8262 is threadedly connected to the outer sleeve 8261. A knob B8263 is fixedly connected to the outward end of the screw 8262. By turning the knob B8263, the screw 8262 is rotated. The screw 8262 and the outer sleeve 8261 are threadedly engaged for transmission. This allows the screw 8262 to push the switching rod 822 into the mounting groove 81, causing the ball limiting block 84 to move downward and disengage from the opening 85. This switches the gimbal to photography mode (in this mode, the ball 3 can rotate freely without being restricted by the ball limiting block 84, allowing for arbitrary adjustment of the camera angle to meet any shooting angle requirements. After the angle adjustment is completed, the ball locking mechanism 7 locks the ball 3 for shooting).

[0065] When switching to camera mode, first release the locking mechanism 7 from the ball 3. Then, turn the knob B8263 to control the screw 8262 to move out of the mounting groove 81. The outward end of the switching rod 822 is not blocked by the screw 8262. The switching rod 822 is automatically pushed outward by the force generated by the deformation of the spring B825, which in turn moves the ball limiting block 84 into the opening 85, restricting the movement direction of the ball 3 and switching the gimbal to camera mode.

[0066] The switching mechanism 8 enables the gimbal to simultaneously meet the shooting needs of photography and videography, reducing the burden on photographers and allowing users to switch between the two modes as needed.

[0067] Regarding the hemispherical seat 6:

[0068] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The hemispherical base 6 includes a bowl-shaped hemisphere 61. A hemispherical gasket 62 is coupled in the inner spherical surface of the hemispherical base 61. A connecting screw 63 is installed in the hemispherical gasket 62. The threaded end of the connecting screw 63 passes through the hemispherical gasket 62, the hemispherical base 61 and the hemispherical locking mechanism 9 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the receiving seat 5 vertically as a whole. A base plate 64 for connecting with a tripod is fixedly installed in the bottom opening of the hemispherical base 61.

[0069] The hemisphere 61 and the hemisphere gasket 62 are movably restricted by the connecting screw 63 to the cylinder in the middle of the receiving seat 5. When the hemisphere 61 is not locked, the pan-tilt head can swing around the outer spherical surface of the hemisphere 61, thereby adjusting the pan-tilt head's levelness and enabling it to have a leveling function (leveling in conjunction with the level on the clamp 4). By operating the hemisphere locking mechanism 9, the distance between the hemisphere locking mechanism 9 and the hemisphere 61, and between the hemisphere... The hemisphere 61 moves and engages with the hemispherical pad 62 to lock in place. At this time, the hemisphere 61 cannot swing around the surface of the hemisphere 61. The locking structure used by the hemisphere locking mechanism 9 and the ball locking mechanism 7 is the same. The locking principle of the hemisphere locking mechanism 9 for the hemisphere 61 is the same as the locking principle of the ball locking mechanism 7 for the ball 3. Both adopt a knob-push type engagement locking. The specific locking structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0070] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
