Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic equipment, and in particular to a dual-adjustment switching structure and a gimbal. Background Technology
[0002] A gimbal is a tool used in photography to connect shooting equipment and a tripod, and it also allows for adjustment of the shooting angle. To meet the needs of angle adjustment efficiency, gimbals are equipped with coarse and fine adjustment mechanisms. However, in existing gimbals, both the coarse and fine adjustment mechanisms are driven by gears, and an adjustment handle is used to link with either the coarse or fine adjustment mechanism. The adjustment process is as follows: first, the adjustment handle is moved to engage with the coarse adjustment mechanism; after coarse adjustment, the adjustment handle is moved again to disengage from the coarse adjustment mechanism and engage with the fine adjustment mechanism, at which point fine adjustment can be performed. However, with this type of gimbal, the adjustment handle may "skip gears" due to the gear meshing when switching between coarse and fine adjustment, affecting the user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual-adjustment switching mechanism and gimbal to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a dual-adjustment switching structure, including a base 10, a first rotating seat 20, a second rotating seat 30, a fine-tuning component 40, and a locking component 50;
[0032] The first rotating seat 20 is rotatably mounted on the base 10;
[0033] The second rotating seat 30 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating seat 20 for connecting photographic equipment;
[0034] The fine-tuning component 40 is connected between the second rotating seat 30 and the first rotating seat 20;
[0035] The locking component 50 is connected between the first rotating seat 20 and the base 10 and has a locking position and an unlocking position, used to restrict the rotation between the first rotating seat 20 and the base 10, or to release the restriction on the rotation between the first rotating seat 20 and the base 10.
[0036] The fine-tuning component 40 can adjust the relative position between the second rotating seat 30 and the base 10 when the locking component 50 is in the locked position, or the second rotating seat 30 and the first rotating seat 20 can rotate relative to the base 10 when the locking component 50 is in the unlocked position.
[0037] In this invention, when in use, the locking component 50 is first moved to the unlocked position. At this time, the first rotating seat 20 and the second rotating seat 30 can rotate relative to the base 10, which means that the angle of the photographic equipment can be coarsely adjusted until it is rotated to the approximate position of the required angle. Then, the locking component 50 is moved to the locked position. At this time, the first rotating seat 20 cannot rotate relative to the base 10. The relative position between the second rotating seat 30 and the base 10 can be adjusted by the fine-tuning component 40, which means that the angle of the photographic equipment can be finely adjusted so that the photographic equipment is precisely aligned with the required angle.
[0038] Reference Figures 1-3 In a preferred embodiment of the fine-tuning component 40, the fine-tuning component 40 includes a worm gear 41, a worm 42, and a first operating member 43. The worm gear 41 is disposed on the first rotating seat 20, the worm 42 meshes with the worm gear 41 and one end extends outside the second rotating seat 30, and the first operating member 43 is disposed on one end of the worm 42; the first operating member 43 is preferably configured as a knob. In a preferred embodiment of the locking component 50, the locking component 50 is mounted on the base 10, and the locking component 50 includes a first clamping member 51, a second clamping member 52, a pull rod 53, and a second operating member 54. The first clamping member 51 and the second clamping member 52... 52 are arranged on both sides of the first rotating seat 20. One end of the pull rod 53 is connected to the first clamp 51 or the second clamp 52, and the other end of the pull rod 53 extends to the outside of the base 10. The second operating member 54 is connected to the other end of the pull rod 53. The second operating member 54 can drive the first clamp 51 and the second clamp 52 to move closer to each other and clamp the first rotating seat 20 through the pull rod 53 to enter the locked position, or the second operating member 54 can drive the first clamp 51 and the second clamp 52 to move away from each other and separate from the first rotating seat 20 through the pull rod 53 to enter the unlocked position. The second operating member 54 is preferably set as a lever.
[0039] Specifically, in use, the second operating member 54 first drives the first clamping member 51 and the second clamping member 52 to move away from each other until the first clamping member 51 and the second clamping member 52 are separated from the first rotating seat 20. At this time, the locking component 50 enters the locked position, allowing the first rotating seat 20 and the second rotating seat 30 to rotate relative to the base 10, which enables coarse adjustment of the angle of the photographic equipment until it is rotated to the approximate position of the required angle. Then, the second operating member 54 drives the first clamping member 51 and the second clamping member 52 to move closer to each other and clamp the first rotating seat 20 to enter the locked position. At this time, the first rotating seat 20 cannot rotate relative to the base 10. Then, the first operating member 43 drives the worm gear 42 to rotate. Since the worm wheel 41 is connected to the first rotating seat 20, the worm wheel 41 cannot rotate either. This results in the rotation of the first operating member 43, the worm gear 42, and the second rotating seat 30. The cooperation between the worm gear 42 and the worm wheel 41 enables fine adjustment of the angle of the photographic equipment, allowing the photographic equipment to be precisely aligned with the required angle.
[0040] Reference Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the worm gear 41 is integrally formed with the first rotating seat 20, which not only simplifies the structure but also reduces production costs.
[0041] Reference Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, one end of the first clamp 51 and one end of the second clamp 52 are connected to the base 10 via a first bolt connection structure 61. There is a gap between the other ends of the first clamp 51 and the second clamp 52. The pull rod 53 is connected to the other end of the first clamp 51 and passes through the other end of the second clamp 52. During assembly, the first clamp 51 and the second clamp 52 are first placed in the corresponding slots on the base 10, and then the first clamp 51 and the second clamp 52 are locked together with the base 10 via the first bolt connection structure 61. The pull rod 53 is preferably connected to the other end of the first clamp 51 via a threaded connection structure, and the second operating member 54 is connected to the other end of the pull rod 53.
[0042] Reference Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, a dual-adjustment switching structure further includes a mounting base 70, a connecting ring 80, and a limiting seat 90; the outer wall of the mounting base 70 is provided with a limiting ring 71 to separate a first rotating groove 72 located at the upper end and a second rotating groove 73 located at the lower end; the connecting ring 80 is located in the first rotating groove 72 and connected to the second rotating seat 20, which is located in the second rotating groove 73; the limiting seat 90 is connected to the mounting base 70 and abuts against the upper end surface of the second rotating seat 30, so that the second rotating seat 30 is limited to rotating within the first rotating groove 72.
[0043] Specifically, during assembly, after the locking component 50 is installed on the base 10, the first rotating seat 20 is fitted onto the connecting post of the base 10. Then, the mounting seat 70 is connected to the first rotating seat 20 through the second bolt connection structure 62, so that the limiting ring 71 on the mounting seat 70 abuts against the upper end face of the first rotating seat 20. Next, the connecting ring 80 is placed on the upper end face of the limiting ring 71, and the second rotating seat 30 is placed on the upper end face of the connecting ring 80. The second rotating seat 30 is connected to the connecting ring 80 through the third bolt connection structure 63. Finally, the limiting seat 90 is connected to the mounting seat 70 through the threaded connection structure 64 and abuts against the upper end face of the second rotating seat 30. It should be noted that the second rotating seat 30 and the connecting ring 80 can rotate within the first rotating groove 72 to adjust the angle of the photographic equipment.
[0044] This utility model also provides a gimbal, including the aforementioned dual-adjustment switching structure.
[0045] The advantages of this utility model are: the above structure enables rapid coarse and fine adjustments to the shooting equipment without skipping or jerking, and it also has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation, meeting the needs of use.
[0046] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments.

All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
