Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical fields of quick-assembly mechanism assembly and gimbal, and particularly to quick-assembly mechanism and gimbal containing quick-assembly mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Existing quick-release mechanisms generally consist of a base, a movable block, a locking block, a quick-release seat, and a lever, and then use the lever for locking and unlocking. The entire locking and unlocking process requires a lot of manpower, and the lever is easily accidentally touched during operation, which can lead to accidental activation and affect the use of the mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-installation mechanism and a gimbal containing the quick-installation mechanism, which improves the user experience through triggering during quick-installation plate assembly.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.

[0005] On one hand, the quick-installation mechanism includes a clamping seat, the end of which is slidably provided with a locking tongue, and the locking tongue is linked to a trigger block;

[0006] It also includes a rotating component rotatably disposed with the clamping seat, and a locking mechanism is provided between the clamping seat and the rotating component;

[0007] It also includes a quick-release plate mounted on the clamping seat. After the quick-release plate is assembled, it presses against the trigger block to release the locking mechanism, causing the rotating part to rotate along the clamping seat and driving the locking tongue to translate axially during the rotation of the rotating part.

[0008] Furthermore, an assembly groove is formed in the middle of the locking tongue, and the trigger block is rotatably disposed in the assembly groove and reciprocates within a set range.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a pivot that passes through the trigger block, with both ends of the pivot extending into the latch, and the trigger block forming a lever structure with the pivot as the fulcrum.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating component extends inward to form an interference section, and the locking tongue extends downward to form a step. During the rotation of the rotating component, the interference section generates an interference force that pushes the step to move axially.

[0011] Furthermore, along the circumferential direction of the rotating component, from one end to the other, the interference force of the interference portion gradually increases or decreases.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a first compression spring that abuts against the clamping seat and the rotating member respectively, the first compression spring generating a driving force to drive the rotating member to rotate.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a second compression spring that abuts against the latch and the clamping seat respectively, the second compression spring generating the driving force when driving the latch to move axially outward.

[0014] Furthermore, of the triggering part and the rotating part, one is provided with a locking hook and the other is provided with a locking groove.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a latch cover plate fixed to the clamping seat, the latch cover plate having a sliding trajectory for axial sliding of the latch.

[0016] On the other hand, the gimbal includes the quick-release mechanism as described above, and also includes an assembly ring rotatably connected to the quick-release mechanism, the assembly ring being fixedly connected to the ball joint mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a pressure block that extends into the clamping seat, which, when rotated under force, tends to restrict the rotation of the quick-release mechanism.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a drive mechanism that passes through the clamping seat and is positioned toward the pressure block, the drive mechanism driving the pressure block to rotate and lock it with the quick-release mechanism during axial inward movement.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] In this invention, by setting a trigger block, the locking mechanism is unlocked directly during the assembly of the quick-release plate, causing the rotating part to rotate and then drive the locking tongue to move, so as to lock the entire quick-release plate on the clamping seat.

[0021] In this invention, the locking tongue is brought closer and locked by translation. In the prior art, most locking tongues are controlled by rotation and pressing. However, pressing and rotating are easily touched, causing accidental activation and affecting use. This invention improves the user experience.

[0022] The gimbal in this invention uses a pressure block to lock the quick-release mechanism onto the gimbal. When applied to a camera, the pressure block forms a panoramic pressure block, thereby locking the foreground and other usage states. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Equivalent transformations or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] See attached document Figure 1-11As shown, the quick-release mechanism 100 in this embodiment includes a clamping seat 120 for clamping the quick-release plate 110 in the subsequent assembly of the camera. A locking tongue 121 is slidably provided at the end of the clamping seat 120 to lock the quick-release plate 110. A trigger block 130 is linked to the locking tongue 121. This embodiment also includes a rotating member 140 that rotates along the clamping seat 120. A locking mechanism is provided between the clamping seat 120 and the rotating member 140 to control the locking or unlocking of the rotating member, so that it is locked on the clamping seat or can rotate along the clamping seat. In use, the quick-release plate 110 is assembled on the clamping seat 120. After the quick-release plate 110 is assembled on the clamping seat, it presses against the trigger block 130 to release the locking mechanism, causing the rotating member 140 to rotate along the clamping seat 120. During the rotation of the rotating member 140, the locking tongue 121 is driven to translate axially. In this embodiment, a guide slope is formed on the trigger block 130. The guide slope extends out of the upper or lower surface of the clamping seat. At this time, the trigger control is achieved by using the guide slope on the upper surface.

[0040] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0041] Compared to locking and unlocking control using wrenches, the quick-release plate 110 is pre-assembled with the rotating component locked to the clamping seat 120 by the locking mechanism, preventing rotation and thus the locking tongue from moving. After the quick-release plate is assembled, the trigger block 130 is activated, unlocking the locking mechanism. At this point, the rotating component 140 rotates, causing the locking tongue 121 to move horizontally to adjust the clamping space and lock the entire quick-release plate 110. This eliminates the need for excessive unlocking control using a wrench, reducing accidental activation. Furthermore, the locking tongue can only move after the quick-release plate is assembled, simplifying the entire control process.

[0042] Of course, the trigger block can be controlled in other ways even without the quick-release plate, but when used in a camera, the quick-release mechanism achieves the effect of quickly locking and fixing the camera.

[0043] In this embodiment, the assembly process of the trigger block and the locking tongue is as follows:

[0044] See attached document Figure 3 As shown in Figures 5-7, in this embodiment, the trigger block 130 rotates within a certain range in the latch 121. For example, an assembly groove can be formed in the middle of the latch 121, and the trigger block 130 is rotatably disposed within the assembly groove and reciprocates within a set range. At this time, a limit is formed above the latch 121, thereby restricting the rotation range of the trigger block. For example, it can rotate within a range of 60° upward and 60° downward about the horizontal plane of the latch 121. During this rotation, the trigger block 130 will lock onto the rotating part 140 at the bottom of the latch 121, preventing it from rotating and locking, for example, by presenting a hook configuration, which will be described in detail later.

[0045] To enable the rotation of the trigger block, a rotating shaft 131 is added. After the rotating shaft 131 passes through the hole at the trigger block 130, both ends of the rotating shaft 131 extend into the two sides of the latch 121 to complete the rotational assembly. At this time, the trigger block 130 forms a lever structure with the rotating shaft 131 as the fulcrum. Then, if an external force is applied to either side of the latch 121, causing that side to press down, the other side will be in a raised state.

[0046] The locking tongue in this embodiment is described as follows:

[0047] See attached document Figure 3 and 5 As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, the rotating member 140 is a rotating shell structure. The rotating member 140 extends inward to form an interference portion 141, and the locking tongue 121 extends downward to form a step 1211. During the rotation of the rotating member 140, the interference portion 141 generates an interference force that pushes the step 1211 to move axially. Specifically, the interference portion 141 forms an arc-shaped groove on the inner side of the rotating member 140. During the rotation of the rotating member, the interference portion slowly comes into contact with the step 1211. After contact, the rotation continues, and the interference effect is enhanced along the arc-shaped surface inside the interference portion. Consequently, the interference portion causes the step 1211 to move axially in the horizontal direction inward.

[0048] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the width of the arc-shaped interference portion 141 can gradually increase. Consequently, along the circumferential direction of the rotating member 140, from one end to the other, the interference force of the interference portion gradually increases or decreases due to the increase or decrease in the width of the interference portion 141. In this process, the force in the circumferential direction of rotation is converted into a force in the horizontal direction.

[0049] See attached document Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a first compression spring 142 that abuts against the clamping seat 120 and the rotating member 140 respectively. The first compression spring 142 generates a driving force to drive the rotating member 140 to rotate. That is, before unlocking, the first compression spring 142 is in a compressed state. After unlocking, the reset action of the first compression spring 142 causes the entire rotating member 140 to rotate, thus generating a driving force.

[0050] See attached document Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a second compression spring 143 that abuts against the latch 121 and the clamping seat 120 respectively. The second compression spring 143 generates the driving force for driving the latch 121 to move axially outward. That is, the second compression spring is set in the horizontal direction. When the latch locks the quick-release plate inward, the second compression spring is compressed. When the quick-release plate 110 is removed to unlock the trigger block 130, the reset of the second compression spring causes the latch to move outward.

[0051] See attached document Figure 8-11As shown, the entire motion process and principle in this embodiment are as follows:

[0052] See attached document Figure 8-9 As shown, before assembling the quick-release plate 110, the entire locking mechanism is in an unlocked state. Consequently, the first compression spring 142 is compressed between the interference part 141 and the limiting post in the clamping seat 120. The second compression spring 143 is not under force and has no effect. The locking tongue 121 is set outward away from the center of the clamping seat 120. The trigger block 130 is located on the outside of the clamping seat 120 and is pressed down to lock with the locking groove 144 in the rotating part 140. The rotating part cannot rotate.

[0053] See attached document Figure 10-11 As shown, after the quick-release plate 110 is assembled, it presses against the upper surface of the trigger block 130, causing the trigger block to be pressed down. During this process, the trigger block 130 is pressed down inside the clamping seat 120, while the outer side is raised, and it is in an unlocked state with the locking groove 144, causing the rotating part 140 to have a tendency to rotate. At this time, the first compression spring 142 is reset, and the rotating part 140 is rotated. The interference part 141 causes the locking tongue 121 to move horizontally to lock the quick-release plate 110. Then the second compression spring 143 is pressed. At this time, the force of the first compression spring 142 is greater than the sum of the forces of the two symmetrically arranged second compression springs 143, and thus its reset effect is greater, which can drive the rotation.

[0054] During the above-mentioned process, a locking groove 144 can also be provided at the tail end of the trigger block 130 to form a locking hook on the outside of the rotating part 140, thereby completing locking and unlocking.

[0055] To assist the horizontal sliding locking of the latch, a latch cover plate 122 is also included, which is fixed to the clamping seat 120. The latch cover plate 122 forms a sliding track for the axial sliding of the latch 121, thereby ensuring that the latch slides along the sliding track. It can also provide support and limit to ensure the accuracy of sliding.

[0056] See attached document Figure 12-13 As shown, this embodiment provides a gimbal, including the quick-release mechanism 100 as in the above embodiment, and also includes an assembly ring 200 rotatably connected to the quick-release mechanism 100, wherein the assembly ring 200 is fixedly connected to the ball head mechanism 300.

[0057] In this embodiment, a rotational connection is achieved by passing bolts through the quick-release plate and the entire quick-release mechanism, and then connecting them with the ball head mechanism via a threaded connection. Furthermore, between the ball head mechanism and the quick-release mechanism, a step is set inside the assembly ring 200 to achieve both fitting and rotation.

[0058] See attached document Figure 12-13As shown, it also includes a pressure block 210 extending into the clamping seat 120. When the pressure block 210 is subjected to force and rotates, it tends to restrict the rotation of the quick-release mechanism 100. At this time, the quick-release mechanism 100 as a whole cannot rotate along the ball joint mechanism 300, thus locking the camera located on the quick-release mechanism 100 and preventing it from rotating 360° in all directions. In this embodiment, the pressure block 210 has an L-shaped structure, and an assembly ring 200 is provided on the inner side of the pressure block. Both the inner and outer sides of the assembly ring 200 have stepped surfaces. The inner stepped surface supports the clamping seat 120, and the outer stepped surface abuts against the inner side of the lower cover plate 310 of the ball joint mechanism 300. The ball joint mechanism 300 is fixedly connected to the lower cover plate 310 by bolts. Both the ball joint mechanism 300 and the quick-release mechanism 100 can rotate along the assembly ring 200, but when the pressure block 210 is subjected to force and abuts against the outer side of the assembly ring, the pressure block 210 and the quick-release mechanism 100 are locked and cannot rotate.

[0059] Referring to the attached figures, in order to limit the rotational tendency of the quick-release mechanism 100 and complete the locking, a drive mechanism 320 is further included, which passes through the clamping seat 120 and faces the pressure block 210. The drive mechanism 320 drives the pressure block 210 to rotate and lock it with the quick-release mechanism 100 during its axial inward movement. Specifically, for example, a screw can be used as the drive mechanism. When the screw is tightened inward, the drive mechanism 320 directly presses against the pressure block 210. The inner side of the pressure block 210 is a slope. During its rotation, with the slope facing upward or downward, it abuts against the inner wall of the clamping seat 120, and its lower part abuts against the assembly ring 200, thus preventing it from rotating. The camera can only take pictures at a set position and cannot achieve 360° panoramic shooting.

[0060] The solution in this embodiment is applied to a camera, and the specific process is as follows:

[0061] The quick-release function is explained below:

[0062] 1: A locking tongue 121 is horizontally slidable in the axial direction of the fixed seat formed by the clamping seat 120. A trigger block 130 is rotatably arranged inside the locking tongue 121. A locking protrusion is then provided at the tail of the trigger block 130, which is subsequently locked and matched with the locking groove 144 on the rotating part 140.

[0063] 2: In order to facilitate the locking of the rotating component, a rotating component 140 is also rotatably provided inside the clamping seat 120. The rotating component 140 has a locking groove that cooperates with the locking protrusion at the tail of the trigger block 130 to control whether the rotating component 140 can rotate and lock.

[0064] 3: An arc-shaped protrusion is provided on the rotating part 140 to form an interference part 141, and a step 1211 that cooperates with the arc-shaped protrusion is provided at the lower part of the locking claw formed by the locking tongue 121, so as to facilitate the linkage between the subsequent rotational motion and the axial horizontal linear motion.

[0065] 4: In order to assist the rotation, a first compression spring composed of a driving compression spring is provided inside the clamping seat 120. One end of the driving compression spring abuts against the clamping seat 120, and the other end is in low contact with the rotating part 140, so that the rotating part 140 has a driving force for rotation.

[0066] 5: Press down the trigger block 130 to lock the protrusion out of the locking groove 144 of the rotating part. The rotating part 140 unlocks and, under the action of the drive spring, pushes the locking claw to move axially, that is, the locking tongue moves horizontally, thus achieving locking.

[0067] Secondly, the control process for the gimbal and the ball head mechanism to form a panoramic view is as follows:

[0068] In the prior art, a panoramic function is set for the camera: that is, the mounting ring 200 is rotated within the clamping seat 120 to perform a 360° panoramic rotation of the camera.

[0069] In order to stop the rotation at the set angle, a pressure block 210 is rotatably provided in the clamping seat 120. The pressure block has an L-shaped structure and its axis is perpendicular to the axis of the panoramic stage.

[0070] When locking is required, simply rotate the drive mechanism consisting of panoramic screws to make it abut against the pressure block 210, so that the pressure block 210 abuts against the assembly ring 200, thereby locking the foreground function.

[0071] To achieve proper engagement, the contact surface between the pressure block 210 and the assembly ring 200 is inclined to further increase the contact area and enhance the locking effect.

[0072] This invention can solve the problem of shaking after the camera quick-release mount is assembled with the camera, and at the same time prevents accidental activation. The quick-release plate is stably assembled, easy to operate, provides a good user experience, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0073] In this embodiment, a through groove is provided on the clamping seat 120, and then the rotating member 140 is disposed in the through groove. A hand-held part 145 is provided on the side of the rotating member 140. Then, after the trigger block 130 is triggered, the hand-held part 145 can be controlled to rotate along the quick-release plate 110 to complete the entire control.
