Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model particularly relates to a panoramic gimbal with a rotation locking function. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of panoramic shooting equipment, the gimbal is a key component for supporting and fixing the shooting equipment, and its stability and reliability are crucial. Existing panoramic gimbals with anti-detachment structures on the market have a movable slot containing a locking block. As the screw is screwed into the gimbal, its front end pushes the locking block, causing it to abut against the gimbal connector, thus fixing the connector to the gimbal body. However, this traditional structure has many problems, limiting its performance and user experience in practical applications.
[0003] First, a large slot is needed to accommodate both the screw tip and the locking block, which not only increases the product's size and weight but also significantly limits the overall design of the gimbal. In the modern shooting equipment market, which prioritizes miniaturization, portability, and aesthetics, this structure clearly fails to meet user needs.
[0004] Secondly, traditional anti-detachment structures have obvious defects during use. When the screw is rotated, the locking block that mates with the front end of the screw is prone to loosening or even lifting up. This causes the locking block to wear on the movable groove, and the gimbal connector is also prone to loosening with the gimbal body. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a panoramic gimbal with a rotation locking function.
[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A panoramic gimbal with a rotation locking function includes a gimbal body, a gimbal connector, an anti-detachment screw, and an anti-detachment block. The gimbal body has an installation channel, and the gimbal connector is connected to the gimbal body. The anti-detachment block is located within the installation channel and has an internal thread. The anti-detachment screw includes a threaded section and an anti-detachment step; the threaded section is threadedly engaged with the anti-detachment block, and the radial dimension of the anti-detachment step is larger than the internal thread diameter of the anti-detachment block. When the anti-detachment screw is screwed in, its end abuts against the gimbal connector to lock it in place. When the anti-detachment screw is screwed out, the anti-detachment step and the anti-detachment block engage to limit the screw's movement away from the installation channel.
[0008] Preferably, the end of the anti-detachment screw away from the gimbal connector has a knob.
[0009] Preferably, the gimbal body includes a rotating gimbal and a gimbal base, and the rotating gimbal and the gimbal base are detachably connected by a first fastener.
[0010] Preferably, the anti-detachment block and the gimbal base can be connected by a second fastener.
[0011] Preferably, the rotating gimbal has an inwardly recessed mounting groove, the bottom of the mounting groove has a connecting post, the gimbal connector is threadedly connected to the connecting post, and the gimbal connector is built into the mounting groove.
[0012] Preferably, both the first fastener and the second fastener are screws.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention utilizes the cooperation of anti-loosening screws and anti-loosening blocks, with the radial dimension of the anti-loosening step being larger than the internal thread hole diameter, effectively preventing the anti-loosening screws from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force during use. This design ensures that the connection between the gimbal connector and the gimbal body remains stable under any circumstances. The anti-loosening screw directly contacts the gimbal connector, requiring minimal space, simplifying assembly, and providing a better feel during use. Attached Figure Description

[0027] A panoramic gimbal with a rotation locking function includes a gimbal body 1, a gimbal connector 2, an anti-detachment screw 3, and an anti-detachment block 4. The gimbal body 1 has an installation channel 11, and the gimbal connector 2 is connected to the gimbal body 1. The anti-detachment block 4 is disposed in the installation channel 11 and has an internal thread. The anti-detachment screw 3 includes a threaded section 31 and an anti-detachment step 32. The threaded section 31 is threadedly engaged with the anti-detachment block 4, and the radial dimension of the anti-detachment step 32 is larger than the internal thread diameter of the anti-detachment block 4. When the anti-detachment screw 3 is screwed in, its end abuts against the gimbal connector 2 to lock it in place. When the anti-detachment screw 3 is screwed out, the anti-detachment step 32 and the anti-detachment block 4 engage in a limiting fit to prevent the anti-detachment screw 3 from disengaging from the installation channel 11.
[0028] Furthermore, a knob 33 is provided at the end of the anti-detachment screw 3 away from the gimbal connector 2.
[0029] Furthermore, the gimbal body 1 includes a rotating gimbal 12 and a gimbal base 13, and the rotating gimbal 12 and the gimbal base 13 are detachably connected by a first fastener.
[0030] Furthermore, the anti-detachment block 4 and the gimbal base 13 can be connected by the second fastener 40.
[0031] Furthermore, the rotating gimbal 12 is recessed inward and has a mounting groove 14. The bottom of the mounting groove 14 is provided with a connecting post 15. The gimbal connector 2 is threadedly connected to the connecting post 15, and the gimbal connector 2 is built into the mounting groove 14.
[0032] Furthermore, both the first fastener and the second fastener 40 are screws.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] The panoramic gimbal of this utility model includes a gimbal body 1, a gimbal connector 2, anti-detachment screws 3, and anti-detachment blocks 4. The gimbal body 1 is composed of a rotating gimbal 12 and a gimbal base 13, which are detachably connected by a first fastener, which can be a screw. This design allows users to easily disassemble and install the various components of the gimbal body as needed.
[0035] The gimbal body 1 has an installation channel 11 for installing the anti-loosening screw 3 and the anti-loosening block 4. The anti-loosening block 4 is set in the installation channel 11 and has internal threads. The thread is designed to effectively cooperate with the threaded section 31 of the anti-loosening screw 3.
[0036] The anti-loosening screw 3 is one of the core components of this utility model, including a threaded section 31 and an anti-loosening step 32. The threaded section 31 is used to mate with the internal thread of the anti-loosening block 4 to achieve the functions of fixing and connecting. The radial dimension of the anti-loosening step 32 is designed to be larger than the internal thread diameter of the anti-loosening block 4. This unique structural design is the key to preventing the anti-loosening screw 3 from coming off the installation channel 11 during use.
[0037] When it is necessary to lock the gimbal connector 2, the user rotates the knob 33. As the anti-loosening screw 3 is screwed in, its end gradually abuts against the gimbal connector 2, thereby firmly fixing the gimbal connector 2 onto the rotating gimbal 12. The design of the knob 33 makes it easier for the user to rotate, improving ease of use.
[0038] When it is necessary to disassemble or adjust the gimbal connector 2, the user can unscrew the anti-loosening screw 3 using the knob 33. Due to the presence of the anti-loosening step 32, and the fact that the radial dimension of the anti-loosening step 32 is designed to be larger than the internal thread diameter of the anti-loosening block 4, the anti-loosening screw 3 cannot be further unscrewed when it abuts against the internal thread of the anti-loosening block 4. Therefore, the anti-loosening screw 3 will not fall out of the mounting channel 11. This limiting fit design effectively avoids the possibility of the anti-loosening screw 3 being lost, ensuring the normal use and safety of the gimbal.
[0039] During the installation of the gimbal connector 2, the rotating gimbal 12 has an inwardly recessed mounting groove 14, and a connecting post 15 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 14. The gimbal connector 2 is connected to the connecting post 15 by threads, and the gimbal connector 2 is built into the mounting groove 14. This design not only ensures a stable connection between the gimbal connector 2 and the rotating gimbal 12, but also makes the overall structure more compact and aesthetically pleasing.
[0040] During assembly, such as Figure 2 As shown, first assemble the anti-detachment block 4, knob 33, and anti-detachment screw 3 together; as shown Figure 3 As shown, it is then installed in the mounting channel 11. Finally, the anti-detachment block 4 and the gimbal base 13 are connected with the second fastener 40. The gimbal 12 and the gimbal base 13 are rotated and then locked with the first fastener to complete the entire assembly process. The first and second fasteners 40 mentioned above can both be implemented using screws.
[0041] This invention, through the cooperation of the anti-loosening screw 3 and the anti-loosening block 4, and with the radial dimension of the anti-loosening step 32 being larger than the internal thread hole diameter, effectively prevents the anti-loosening screw from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force during use. This design ensures that the connection between the gimbal connector 2 and the gimbal body 1 remains stable under any circumstances. The anti-loosening screw directly contacts the gimbal connector, requiring little space, simplifying assembly, and providing a better feel during use.
[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
