Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In bright light conditions, such as outdoors on a sunny day, even with the gimbal camera set to its lowest shutter speed and ISO, overexposure may still occur. Using an ND (neutral density) filter in this situation reduces the amount of light entering the lens, allowing the camera to shoot with appropriate exposure parameters and preventing the image from being too bright and losing detail.

[0003] Using an ND filter to reduce shutter speed can be used to capture images with motion blur effects, such as making the water flow appear as a smooth mist when shooting flowing water, or making the car trails more continuous and clear when shooting car trails, making the image more artistic.

[0004] Therefore, various types of filters have become popular among gimbal camera users. Users typically use a separate small box to assemble various filters so that the gimbal camera can have suitable filters to choose from and use in different scenarios.

[0005] However, this method brings great inconvenience to users because they usually need to carry a box to assemble the filter lenses. When using a gimbal camera, users usually need to carry the gimbal camera, charger, and filter box. This means carrying too many things, which is inconvenient for users.

[0006] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a gimbal camera charger, which aims to solve the problem that users need to carry a filter box separately when using a gimbal camera to take better photos, which is inconvenient.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the groove is in close contact with the first magnetic sheet.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first magnetic sheet is not less than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom surface of the groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the first magnetic sheet is always located within the opening of the groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the first magnetic sheet is made of stainless steel.

[0014] Furthermore, the charger includes a face cover;

[0015] The cover is placed over the opening of the assembly cavity to allow the opening of the assembly cavity to switch between open and closed states.

[0016] Furthermore, the cover has a viewing window;

[0017] When the cover is closed on the body, the viewing window is positioned above the power display area of ​​the gimbal camera.

[0018] Furthermore, the charger includes a movable connector;

[0019] One end of the movable connector is connected to the face cover, and the other end of the movable connector is connected to the body. The movable connector allows the face cover to switch between an open state and a closed state relative to the body.

[0020] Furthermore, each of the inner sidewalls on both sides along the length of the body has at least one protrusion extending outward from the sidewall surface.

[0021] Furthermore, it includes the aforementioned gimbal camera charger and electronic control components;

[0022] The body contains an electronic control component.

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

Detailed Implementation

[0035] 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.

[0036] Gimbal cameras are typically equipped with advanced gimbal stabilization systems, such as three-axis mechanical stabilization gimbals. These systems use high-speed processors to precisely control the motors and accurately compensate for image shake based on the camera's posture. This effectively counteracts various types of shaking, allowing for smooth and stable footage even during activities such as walking, running, cycling, or in bumpy environments like vehicles or boats. As a result, these cameras are highly sought after by users.

[0037] To enable gimbal cameras to capture better photos, users typically carry filters to change them for different usage scenarios. However, users usually need to carry a case to hold various filter types, which is inconvenient.

[0038] Therefore, the inventors have provided a gimbal camera charger to solve the problem of inconvenience caused by users having to carry an extra filter box when using a gimbal camera outdoors.

[0039] Detailed, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As 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] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the assembly cavity 112 has at least one groove 116 recessed inward from its bottom surface; the bottom of the groove 116 has a first magnetic sheet 117.

[0041] It should be understood that filter lenses typically have magnetic strips. When the filter lens is placed in the groove 116, the first magnetic strip 117 attracts the magnetic strip on the filter lens, thus fixing the filter lens in the groove 116. This design makes full use of the space within the charger itself, avoiding the inconvenience of users having to carry a filter case when going out.

[0042] It should also be noted that the outer contour of the groove 116 is adapted to the outer contour of the filter lens, so that the inner wall of the groove 116 can restrain the filter lens placed in the groove 116, preventing the filter lens from falling out of the groove 116. In addition, to increase the assembly stability of the filter lens in the groove 116, the first magnetic piece 117 is also provided at the bottom of the groove 116 to further securely assemble the filter lens in the groove 116. The assembly stability of the filter lens and the charger is increased by fixing it with the groove 116 and the first magnetic piece 117.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface of the groove 116 is in close contact with the first magnetic sheet 117.

[0044] It should be understood that with this design, the first magnetic sheet 117 can be well fixed within the groove 116. The close fit makes the magnetic field distribution of the first magnetic sheet 117 more concentrated and effective, and the close fit provides physical protection for the first magnetic sheet 117. The close fit forms a relatively closed environment, extending the service life of the first magnetic sheet 117 and preventing external dust, moisture, or corrosive substances from contacting the first magnetic sheet 117.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional area S1 of the first magnetic sheet 117 is not less than the cross-sectional area S2 of the bottom surface of the groove 116.

[0046] It should be understood that with this design, when the cross-sectional area S1 of the first magnetic sheet 117 is not less than the cross-sectional area S2 of the groove 116, the first magnetic sheet 117 can completely fill the groove 116, so that the first magnetic sheet 117 will not have any space to wobble in the horizontal direction.

[0047] In addition, the larger cross-sectional area of ​​the first magnetic sheet 117 helps to transfer magnetic flux more effectively. This prevents the filter lens from easily falling out of the groove 116 due to insufficient magnetic flux and weak adhesion.

[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the first magnetic sheet 117 is always located within the opening of the groove 116.

[0049] It should be understood that with this design, when the filter lens is installed in the groove 116, the surface of the filter lens is not exposed outside the groove 116, thus avoiding the gimbal camera surface from contacting the filter lens when it is installed in the mounting cavity 112, which could easily scratch the lens surface.

[0050] In one embodiment of this invention, the first magnetic sheet 117 is made of stainless steel. The stainless steel material of the first magnetic sheet 117 increases its attractiveness to the magnetic sheet on the filter lens. However, it is not limited to stainless steel; other materials that can increase the attractiveness between the first magnetic sheet 117 and the filter lens can also be used.

[0051] In one embodiment of this utility model, it is also as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the groove 116 has multiple grooves to facilitate the assembly of a larger number of filter lenses.

[0052] In one embodiment of this utility model, in order to facilitate the removal of the filter lens placed in the groove 116, a through groove 118 extends from one side of each groove 116 in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. When a filter lens is placed in the groove 116, the user can remove the filter lens from the groove 116 through the through groove 118.

[0053] In a practical application scenario, the through slots 118 between two adjacent recesses 116 are interconnected. It should be understood that this design facilitates full utilization of the charger's space and allows the user to easily remove the filter lens from each of the recesses 116.

[0054] In summary, by providing the groove 116 at the bottom of the assembly cavity 112, and by providing the first magnetic sheet 117 in the groove 116 to attract the filter lens, the filter lens can be detachably fixed in the charger, making full use of the internal space of the charger and solving the problem of the inconvenience of having to carry a separate filter box in actual use.

[0055] To ensure the gimbal camera is more securely placed in the assembly cavity 112. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the inner sidewalls on both sides of the body 1 along its length have at least one protrusion extending outward from the sidewall surface. The protrusion is a positioning member 114. The positioning member 114 is used to position the gimbal camera when it is placed in the assembly cavity 112, preventing the gimbal camera from moving during charging in the assembly cavity 112.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the upper and lower sides of the main body 1 also have card slots 113 at other positions away from the positioning member 114, and the card slots 113 are used to place memory cards.

[0057] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the charger includes a face cover 3; the face cover 3 covers the opening 1121 of the assembly cavity 112 to enable 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.

[0058] In detail, 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 movable connector 4. One end of the movable connector 4 is connected to a cover 3, and the other end of the movable connector 4 is connected to the main body 1, so that the cover 3 can switch between an open state and a closed state relative to the main body 1.

[0059] In detail, the movable connector 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.

[0060] 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 body 1. This allows the cover 3 to close or open the opening 1121. It should be noted that the movable connector 4 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0061] Furthermore, the cover 3 has a plug-in end 32 extending towards the side wall of the 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 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 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 securely closed over the assembly cavity 112 to seal the opening 1121.

[0062] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the faceplate 3 has a viewing window 31; when the faceplate 3 is closed on the body 1, the viewing window 31 is positioned above the power display area of ​​the gimbal camera. It should be understood that this design facilitates the user's observation of the gimbal camera's charging status.

[0063] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 8 As shown, the main body 1 includes an electronic control component 5. Specifically, the second part 12 has an assembly space 121, which houses the electronic control component 5.

[0064] 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.

[0065] It should be understood that the charging output device 51, charging input device, 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.

[0066] In summary, the gimbal camera charger of this technical solution can not only charge the gimbal camera, but also carry filter lenses by making full use of the internal space of the charger. This allows the gimbal camera to replace the filter lenses in time when needed, thus solving the problem of inconvenience caused by users having to carry a separate box containing filter lenses when using the gimbal camera outdoors.

[0067] 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.
