Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gimbal camera charging equipment, and in particular to a charger for a gimbal camera. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of photography technology and the increasing demand for shooting stability, gimbal cameras have emerged.

[0003] However, the frequent use of gimbal cameras poses many challenges to their power supply system, namely the charger. In particular, early chargers were large, heavy, and inconvenient to carry, increasing the burden on users in outdoor shooting and mobile shooting scenarios, and hindering the use of gimbal cameras anytime and anywhere.

[0004] Therefore, handheld chargers have emerged. In existing handheld chargers, the charging interface for gimbal cameras is typically fixedly located in the charging compartment of the charger. The gimbal camera is then placed into the compartment so that its charging interface aligns with the interface, thus enabling charging. While this technology achieves portability for gimbal camera chargers, the initial stress required when placing the gimbal camera into the charger is relatively high, often breaking the charging interface and damaging the charger.

[0005] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model proposes a charger for a gimbal camera, which aims to solve the problem that when a gimbal camera is placed in the charger, the gimbal camera is prone to breaking the charging output component of the charger.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A charger for a gimbal camera includes: a body having an internal mounting cavity for mounting the gimbal camera.

[0009] A charging output component, used to connect to the charging port of a gimbal camera to enable charging;

[0010] A plug-in structure is movably disposed at the body. One end of the plug-in structure is connected to the charging output component, and the other end of the plug-in structure has a contact portion that is exposed on the surface of the body.

[0011] When the contact part is subjected to external force, it drives the plug-in structure to move, so that the charging output component is pushed into or away from the assembly cavity. When a gimbal camera is placed in the assembly cavity, the charging output component can be pushed into and plugged into the charging port of the gimbal camera.

[0012] Furthermore, the insertion / removal structure has a protective element positioned above the direction in which the gimbal camera is inserted into the assembly cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, when the protective component is exposed in the assembly cavity, it can shield at least a portion of the charging output component.

[0014] Furthermore, each side of the protective member has an extension end, and the end of each extension end is connected to the plug-in structure via a telescopic member.

[0015] When the protective component comes into contact with the gimbal camera, it is subjected to a force from the direction in which the gimbal camera is placed into the assembly cavity and then moves in the pull-out direction of the plug-in structure so as to expose the charging output component and plug it into the charging port of the gimbal camera.

[0016] Furthermore, the charging output component is assembled in the assembly slot located in the plug-in structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the insertion / removal structure has a limiting element;

[0018] When the plug-in structure is pulled outward by an external force, the limiting member can contact the inner wall of the body to limit further displacement of the plug-in structure and prevent the plug-in structure from completely dislodging from the body.

[0019] Furthermore, the surface of the contact portion has an anti-slip portion, which is used to prevent slippage when the user operates and moves the plug-in structure.

[0020] Furthermore, the body includes an assembly space, in which the plug-in structure and the electronic control components are assembled.

[0021] Furthermore, the interior of the body also has an assembly space;

[0022] The assembly space has an opening;

[0023] The contact portion of the plug-in structure is exposed from the opening.

[0024] Furthermore, the assembly space is also equipped with electronic control components; the electronic control components include circuit boards, push-button switches, charging input ports, charging output components, displays, and batteries.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] This utility model discloses a charger for a gimbal camera. By incorporating a plug-in structure on the charger body, connected to a charging output component, the user can adjust the distance between the charging output component and the gimbal camera's charging port by moving the plug-in structure. This addresses the problem of the charging output component easily breaking when the gimbal camera is placed in the charger. Specifically, it includes: a body with an internal assembly cavity for mounting the gimbal camera; a charging output component for connecting to the gimbal camera's charging port for charging; and a plug-in structure movably disposed on the body, one end of which connects to the charging output component, and the other end having a contact portion exposed on the surface of the body. When the contact portion is subjected to external force, it moves the plug-in structure, pushing the charging output component into or out of the assembly cavity. When a gimbal camera is placed in the assembly cavity, the charging output component can be pushed in to connect to the gimbal camera's charging port. When the gimbal camera is to be placed in the charger, the charging output device can be adjusted to be away from the gimbal camera. After the gimbal camera is placed in the charger, the charging output device is adjusted to be inserted into the charging port so that the charger can charge the gimbal camera.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 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.

[0036] In studio shooting scenarios such as commercial advertising, product photography, and portrait photography, gimbal cameras are used frequently. The charger can charge the camera battery in time during shooting breaks to ensure that the camera can work continuously and meet the needs of long-term, high-intensity shooting.

[0037] When charging a gimbal camera, it is typically placed directly into the charger, allowing the camera's charging port to align with the charger's output component. However, in existing gimbal camera chargers, the output component is fixed, and its extension direction is perpendicular to the direction the gimbal camera is inserted. Therefore, when the gimbal camera is placed into the charger, it can easily break the output component, rendering the charger unusable.

[0038] In response, the inventor provides a charger for a gimbal camera, which aims to solve the problem that the charging output component is easily broken when the gimbal camera is inserted.

[0039] Detailed, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the charger for a gimbal camera according to this technical solution has an overall rectangular parallelepiped structure, including a body 1. The body 1 has a first part 11 and a second part 12. The first part 11 has a mounting cavity 112 for mounting the gimbal camera. The mounting cavity 112 is located along the length of the body 1 and is recessed inward from the surface of the body 1 to form the mounting cavity 112. The mounting cavity 112 has an opening 1121 to facilitate the insertion of the gimbal camera into the mounting cavity 112 through the opening 1121.

[0040] Positioning members 114 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the main body 1. The positioning member 114 is a protrusion that protrudes from the upper and lower sides of the main body 1 into the assembly cavity 112. The positioning member 114 is used to position the gimbal camera when it is placed in the assembly cavity 112, so as to prevent the gimbal camera from moving when it is charging in the assembly cavity 112.

[0041] Furthermore, the upper and lower sides of the main body 1, at another location away from the positioning member 114, are respectively provided with card slots 113, which are used to place memory cards.

[0042] Each of the upper and lower sidewalls of the main body 1 has a notch. The notch on the upper sidewall is used to assemble the connecting component 4. One end of the connecting component 4 is connected to a cover 3, and the other end of the connecting component 4 is connected to the main body 1, so that the cover 3 can rotate relative to the main body 1.

[0043] In detail, the connecting assembly 4 includes a base 41, a torsion spring, a pin 43, and a connector 44. The outer contour of the base 41 is adapted to the outer contour of the notch, so that the base 41 is fitted into the notch. The pin 43 is mounted on both sides of the base 41, the torsion spring is sleeved in the pin 43, and the connector 44 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the torsion spring. The connector 44 has a U-shaped structure, its two ends are fixed to the pin 43, and its top is fixed to the cover 3.

[0044] In use, the cover 3, under the action of external force, compresses the connector 44, causing the connector 44 to compress the torsion spring and extend, thereby causing the cover 3 to rotate relative to the main body 1. It should be noted that the connecting component 4 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] In one embodiment, the cover 3 covers the opening 1121 of the assembly cavity 112 to allow the opening 1121 of the assembly cavity 112 to switch between open and closed states, so as to take out or put in the gimbal camera.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cover 3 has a plug-in end 32 extending towards the side wall of the main body 1 on the opposite side of the plug-in assembly 4. A snap-fit ​​groove 115 is provided on the side wall of the main body 1 that is adapted to the plug-in end 31, and the snap-fit ​​groove 115 is located in a notch in the lower side wall of the main body 1. When the cover 3 is closed over the assembly cavity 112 to seal the opening 1121, to prevent the cover 3 from protruding from the opening 1121 without external force, the plug-in end 32 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 115, thereby preventing the cover 3 from being firmly closed over the assembly cavity 112 to seal the opening 1121.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the cover 3 has a viewing window 31. When the gimbal camera is placed in the assembly cavity 112, the display area of ​​the gimbal camera is located directly below the viewing window 31, so that the user can observe the charging status of the gimbal camera.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the second part 12 has an assembly space 121, which is equipped with the plug-in structure 2 and the electronic control component 5.

[0049] The assembly space 121 is located behind the assembly cavity 112 and extends along both sides of the body 1 in the length direction. The electronic control component 5 is used to provide electrical performance to the charger. Specifically, the electronic control component 5 includes a charging output component 51, a charging input component 52, a circuit board 53, a display component 54, a push-button switch 55, and a battery 56.

[0050] It should be understood that the charging output device 51, charging input device 52, display device 54, push-button switch 55, and battery 56 are all electrically connected to and controlled by the circuit board 53 to charge the gimbal camera. The charging output device 51 is used to connect to the charging port of the gimbal camera to achieve charging.

[0051] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the insertion / removal structure 2 is movably disposed at the body 1. The insertion / removal structure 2 can move relative to the body 1 in a pushing or pulling direction under the action of an external force. It should be noted that the pushing direction is the direction in which the insertion / removal structure 2 moves closer to the assembly cavity 112, and the pulling direction is the direction in which the insertion / removal structure 2 moves away from the assembly cavity 112.

[0052] In detail, one end of the plug-in structure 2 is connected to the charging output component 51, and the other end of the plug-in structure 2 has a contact portion 22, which is exposed on the surface of the body 1. When the contact portion 22 is subjected to external force, it drives the plug-in structure 2 to move, so that the charging output component 51 is pushed into or away from the assembly cavity 112. When a gimbal camera is placed in the assembly cavity 112, the charging output component 51 can be pushed into and plugged into the charging port of the gimbal camera.

[0053] When in use, when the gimbal camera is inserted from the insertion direction (the insertion direction is...) Figure 3 Before the charging output component 51 enters the assembly cavity 112 (in the direction indicated by the arrow), the user moves the plug-in structure 2 through the contact part 22, causing the entire plug-in structure 2 to move in the pull-out direction, so that the charging output component 51 leaves the assembly cavity 112, thereby preventing the charging output component 51 from being broken when the gimbal camera is placed into the assembly cavity 112.

[0054] After the gimbal camera is placed into the assembly cavity 112, the user pushes the contact part 22 to move the plug-in structure 2 in the pushing direction, so that the charging output component 51 can be pushed into the assembly cavity 112 for plugging into the charging port of the gimbal camera for charging.

[0055] Therefore, by adopting this technical solution, the charging output component 51 is exposed in the assembly cavity 112 by moving the plug-in structure 2 with external force, thus avoiding the problem of the gimbal camera easily colliding with the charging output component 51 when it is placed in the assembly cavity 112.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the main body of the plug-in structure 2 is disposed in the assembly space 121, which has an opening 1211; the contact portion 22 of the plug-in structure 2 is exposed from the opening 1211.

[0057] It should be understood that, during use, the user can easily contact the contact portion 22 through the opening 1211, thereby enabling the user to operate the insertion / removal structure 2 by applying a force to the contact portion 22 in the direction of pulling out or pushing in.

[0058] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the plug-in structure 2 has a limiting member 23; when the plug-in structure 2 is pulled outward by an external force, the limiting member 23 can contact the inner wall 15 of the body 1 to limit the maximum pull-out displacement of the plug-in structure 2 and prevent the plug-in structure 2 from completely dislodging from the body 1.

[0059] It should be understood that the limiting member 23 has a movable distance between itself and the inner wall 15 surface of the main body 1, which is equal to the insertion portion of the charging output member 51 into the gimbal camera charging port. With this design, when the plug-in structure 2 is subjected to a pulling force, and the limiting member 23 moves to abut against the inner wall of the main body 1, the inner wall prevents the limiting member 23 from moving further in the pulling direction, thereby effectively preventing the plug-in structure 2 from detaching from the main body 1 due to excessive movement.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to prevent slippage when the user operates the contact part 22, the surface of the contact part 22 has an anti-slip part 221. The anti-slip part 221 consists of several protrusions that protrude outward from the surface of the contact part 22. These protrusions can increase the static friction between the user's skin and the contact part 22, thereby preventing slippage when the user operates and moves the plug-in structure 2.

[0061] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the plug-in structure 2 has a mounting slot 24, in which the charging output component 51 is mounted.

[0062] The charging output component 51 includes a circuit board 511. The shape of the mounting groove 24 is adapted to the shape of the circuit board 511. The circuit board 511 is inserted laterally into the mounting groove 24 to fix the charging output component 51 to the plug-in structure 2.

[0063] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the plug-in structure 2 has a protective member 21, which is positioned above the direction in which the gimbal camera is inserted into the assembly cavity 112. Each side of the protective member 21 has an extension end 211, and the end of each extension end 211 is connected to the plug-in structure 2 via a telescopic member 212. When the protective member 21 encounters the gimbal camera, it is subjected to a force from the direction in which the gimbal camera is inserted into the assembly cavity 112 and moves in the pull-out direction of the plug-in structure 2 to expose the charging output member 51 for insertion into the charging port of the gimbal camera.

[0064] In use, when the gimbal camera knocks over the protective plate 21, the protective plate 21 converts the force of the gimbal camera in the insertion direction into a squeezing force on the telescopic member 212. As the telescopic member 212 extends and retracts, it pulls the protective plate 21 away from the assembly cavity 112, thereby preventing the force of the gimbal camera in the insertion direction from acting entirely on the charging output member 51, thus preventing the gimbal camera from breaking the charging output member 51.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, when the protective member 21 is exposed in the assembly cavity 112, it can shield at least a portion of the charging output member 51.

[0066] It should be understood that this design ensures that the gimbal camera, regardless of the angle from which it is inserted into the assembly cavity 112 from the opening 1121, will first come into contact with the protective component 21, thus preventing the gimbal camera from directly touching the charging output component 51.

[0067] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the assembly space 121 and the assembly cavity 112 have a first through hole 13 and a second through hole 14. The first through hole 13 and the second through hole 14 are arranged vertically parallel to each other. The first through hole 13 is used for the protective component 21 to extend outward, and the second through hole 14 is used for the charging output component 51 to extend outward.

[0068] It should be understood that the first through hole 13 and the plug-in structure 2 form a moving path for the protective member 21 to move, so that when the protective member 21 is subjected to external force, it can move along the moving path, avoiding the protective member 21 from becoming skewed during the movement and failing to return correctly to the plug-in structure 2.

[0069] Similarly, a movable path is also formed between the second through hole 14 and the plug-in structure 2, allowing the charging output component 51 to move movably. This allows the charging output component 51 to move along the movable path when the plug-in structure 2 is moved by an external force, thus preventing the charging output component 51 from becoming skewed during movement.

[0070] In addition, in this embodiment, since the first through hole 13 and the second through hole 14 are arranged vertically parallel and aligned at both ends, the protective member 21 can completely cover the charging output member 51 in the insertion direction, so as to better prevent the gimbal camera from directly contacting the charging output member 51 when inserted, causing the charging output member 51 to break. Furthermore, the first through hole 13 and the second through hole 14 can also fix the protective member 21 and the base of the charging output member respectively, preventing the protective member 21 and the charging output member 51 from falling off the plug-in structure 2 due to the excessive arm distance.

[0071] In summary, the charger for a gimbal camera according to this technical solution, through the cooperation of the plug-in structure 2 with the main body 1, the plug-in structure 2 is movably disposed on the main body 1. The user can push or push the charging output component 51 on the plug-in structure 2 into or out of the assembly cavity 112 by pulling out or pushing in, so as to realize the charging of the gimbal camera when it is put in. Figure 6 As indicated by the arrow, the charging output component 51 is pushed out so that the gimbal camera can be placed into the assembly cavity 112, thereby solving the problem that the charging output component is easily broken when the gimbal camera is placed in the charger.

[0072] Furthermore, the retractable function of the protective component 21 is used to counteract the force exerted by the gimbal camera during insertion, thereby further protecting the charging output component 51.

[0073] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
