[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A smart device equipped with a variable-focus lighting unit includes a mounting frame 10, a first motorized gimbal 20, a second motorized gimbal 30, a gimbal camera 40, and a lighting component 50. Both the first motorized gimbal 20 and the second motorized gimbal 30 are mounted below the mounting frame 10. The gimbal camera 40 is mounted on the first motorized gimbal 20, and the lighting component 50 is mounted on the second motorized gimbal 30. The first and second motorized gimbals 20 and 30 are controlled by a control system to synchronously adjust their positions, allowing them to change orientation synchronously when adjusting the positions of the gimbal camera 40 and the lighting component 50, respectively. The motorized gimbals can utilize existing gimbal structures, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0023] See Figure 3 The lighting assembly 50 includes a base 51, an illumination lamp 52, and a mechanical zoom module. The top of the base 51 is connected to the second motorized gimbal 30. The mechanical zoom module is mounted on the front side of the base 51 and connected to the illumination lamp 52. The mechanical zoom module is used to adjust the position of the illumination lamp 52 along the length of the base 51, thereby allowing the illumination lamp 52 to be adjusted to near or far distance, and to achieve mechanical zoom of the illumination lamp 52. The zoom adjustment of the illumination lamp 52 can be coordinated with the zoom of the gimbal camera 40 under the control of the control system.

[0024] In this embodiment, the mechanical zoom module may include a rack 53, a gear 54, and a motor 55. The motor 55 is mounted and fixed on the top of the base 51, and its output end is connected to the gear 54, allowing the gear 54 to be driven to rotate. The gear 54 meshes with the rack 53, and the rack 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom and top of the lighting lamp 52, allowing the rack 53 to drive the lighting lamp 52 to move horizontally. A guide groove 511 is formed on the base 51, and the rack 53 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 511. The width of the guide groove 511 is adapted to the width of the rack 53, and the guide groove 511 guides the movement of the rack 53 and the lighting lamp 52. It is understood that, in addition to the above structure, the mechanical zoom module may also be driven by existing ball screw structures or electric push rod structures. For example, when using a ball screw structure, the motor drives the screw to rotate, and the screw seat set on the screw can move horizontally. After the screw seat is installed with the lighting lamp, it can drive the lighting lamp to move horizontally. When using an electric actuator structure, the output end of the electric actuator can be directly connected to the lighting lamp, so that it can push the lighting lamp to move horizontally.

[0025] In this embodiment, a charging interface area 512 is provided on the side of the base 51. The charging interface area 512 can be provided with common charging interfaces such as USB-A and Type-C, allowing users to charge the battery installed in the base 51 through the charging interface area 512. The battery installed in the base 51 is used to power the lighting lamp 52.

[0026] In this embodiment, the light source in the lighting lamp 52 can be an LEP (Light Emitting Plasma) light source. The principle of an LEP light source is based on electromagnetic waves exciting plasma to generate continuous visible light. Its core process is as follows: The LEP concentrates a solid-state radio frequency (RF) signal into the quartz glass light emitter through a resonator. The resonator can focus electromagnetic wave energy to form a high-intensity electric field. The focused electromagnetic wave energy ionizes the gas inside the quartz glass, while halides (such as sodium, potassium, etc.) evaporate to form a plasma state. In a closed environment without electrodes and filaments, the highly concentrated electric field maintains the stable existence of the plasma. Free electrons in the plasma interact with atomic nuclei, releasing a continuous visible spectrum. By controlling the RF signal and the resonant cavity design, the brightness, color, and direction of the light beam can be adjusted.

[0027] The system of the present invention may further include a control system for controlling the operation of the aforementioned electric gimbal and mechanical zoom module, so as to perform automatic operation of the gimbal camera and lighting device orientation synchronization adjustment and the mechanical zoom of the lighting lamp. It should be understood that the control system is not particularly limited and can be implemented using existing control technologies, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0028] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
