[0003] Some handheld gimbals also have a charging function, allowing them to be electrically connected to the shooting device via a cable to charge it. However, these traditional handheld gimbals are inconvenient to connect to the shooting device and may also affect the movement of the gimbal, impacting the user experience.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, this application provides a handheld gimbal 10, which includes a clamping member 400 and an axis assembly 200. The clamping member 400 is used to clamp a shooting device 20; the axis assembly 200 includes a drive motor 300, which is connected to the clamping member 400. The drive motor 300 drives the clamping member 400 to rotate, thereby driving the shooting device 20 to rotate. The drive motor 300 is provided with a charging port, through which the gimbal can supply power to the shooting device 20. The shooting device 20 may include, but is not limited to, electronic devices with camera functions such as mobile phones, tablets, and cameras.
[0030] The aforementioned handheld gimbal 10 has at least the following beneficial effects: the drive motor 300 is connected to the clamping member 400. When the clamping member 400 clamps the shooting device 20, since the drive motor 300 is directly provided with a charging port, the gimbal can supply power to the shooting device 20 through the charging port. This not only facilitates user operation and connection, but also makes the charging port closer to the shooting device 20 on the clamping member 400, reducing the risk of cables getting tangled on the gimbal, and making the handheld gimbal 10 more aesthetically pleasing, greatly improving the user experience.
[0031] Specifically, in some embodiments, the drive motor 300 includes a rotor portion 310, and the charging port 311 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotor portion 310.
[0032] More specifically, in some embodiments, the drive motor 300 includes a stator 320 and a rotor 310 that rotate relative to each other. The rotor 310 is connected to the clamping member 400. When the drive motor 300 rotates to drive the shooting device 20 to rotate, the relative position of the charging port 311 and the shooting device 20 remains unchanged. The handheld gimbal 10 also includes a handle 100. One end of the shaft assembly 200 is connected to the handle 100, and the stator 320 is located at the other end of the shaft assembly 200. The rotor 310 is connected to the stator 320 and can rotate relative to the stator 320. The rotor 310 is used to support the clamping member 400 and drive the shooting device 20 clamped by the clamping member 400. Figure 3 As shown, the rotor 310 is provided with a charging port 311, which can be electrically connected to the interface 620 on the shooting device 20 via a cable. The rotor 310 of the drive motor 300 can rotate relative to the stator 320. Since the charging port 311 is directly provided on the rotor 310 of the drive motor 300, when the shooting device 20, which is fixed to the rotor 310, rotates with the rotor 310, the relative positions of the charging port 311 on the rotor 310 and the interface 620 on the shooting device 20 are relatively fixed. Therefore, the cable between the charging port 311 and the interface 620 can also rotate synchronously with the shooting device 20 and the rotor 310, thereby avoiding the cable from getting tangled on the stator 320, handle 100, or shaft assembly 200 of the drive motor 300, preventing the cable from affecting the movement of the gimbal, and making the handheld gimbal 10 more aesthetically pleasing, greatly improving the user experience.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the charging port 311 is located on the outer peripheral surface of the rotor portion 310. One end of the rotor portion 310 is connected to the stator portion 320, and the other end of the rotor portion 310 is usually blocked by the imaging device 20. Therefore, placing the charging port 311 on the outer peripheral surface of the rotor portion 310 makes it easier for the user to quickly observe the charging port 311 and the plug-in cable.
[0034] More specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the charging port 311 faces the same direction as the interface 620. When the shooting device 20 is mounted on the rotor 310 of the gimbal, if the charging port 311 of the rotor 310 and the interface 620 of the shooting device 20 face the same direction, the distance between the charging port 311 and the interface 620 is closer, and the requirement for cable length is lower. That is, a shorter cable can be used, reducing the manufacturing cost of the cable. In addition, the shorter cable length can also objectively reduce the risk of the cable getting tangled on the gimbal.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the shaft assembly 200 includes a first shaft assembly 210 and a second shaft assembly 220. The first shaft assembly 210 includes a first motor 211 and a first shaft arm 212, and the second shaft assembly 220 includes a second motor 221 and a second shaft arm 222. The first motor 211 is located at the top of the handle 100, connected to one end of the first shaft arm 212 and used to drive the first shaft arm 212. The second motor 221 is located at the other end of the first shaft arm 212, connected to one end of the second shaft arm 222 and used to drive the second shaft arm 222. A third motor is located at the other end of the second shaft arm 222. The drive motor 300 can be any one of the first motor, the second motor, and the third motor. Figure 1 For example, the third motor is drive motor 300, which can be a roll motor.
[0036] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first motor 211 can be a yaw motor, the second motor 221 can be a pitch motor, and the third motor can be a roll motor. This is a further explanation of the first motor 211, second motor 221, and third motor mentioned herein, intended to aid in understanding the working effect of the handheld gimbal 10 of this application, and not to indicate or imply that the first motor 211, second motor 221, and third motor can only be configured as described above. Therefore, the above can be interpreted more broadly as long as it satisfies the beneficial effects to be achieved by the handheld gimbal 10 of this application.
[0037] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the handheld gimbal 10 further includes an imaging mirror 500 disposed on the stator 320, the imaging mirror 500 having the same orientation as the camera 610 on the shooting device 20. For example, when a user takes a selfie using the rear camera 610 of the shooting device 20, the orientation of the rear camera 610 of the shooting device 20 can be the same as the orientation of the imaging mirror 500, both pointing towards the user. Although the user cannot directly see the screen of the shooting device 20, they can observe the approximate image captured by the rear camera 610 through the imaging mirror 500. Furthermore, since the imaging mirror 500 is fixed to the stator 320 of the drive motor 300, when the gimbal's axis assembly 200 changes posture, the orientation of the imaging mirror 500 and the orientation of the shooting device 20 remain consistent and unaffected. This does not affect the user's ability to predict the effect captured by the rear camera 610 of the shooting device 20 through the imaging mirror 500, facilitating user operation and improving the user's shooting results.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the imaging mirror 500 is a convex mirror. A convex mirror can provide a wider field of view, allowing the operator to observe the surrounding environment more clearly and anticipate the image. In other embodiments, the imaging mirror 500 can also be a plane mirror.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the imaging mirror 500 is located on the side of the stator portion 320 facing away from the rotor portion 310, and the shape of the imaging mirror 500 is adapted to the shape of the stator portion 320. The imaging mirror 500 can be designed to be approximately circular, adapting to the circular end face of the stator portion 320, ensuring that the imaging mirror 500 can completely cover the end face of the stator portion 320. The imaging mirror 500 can be fixed to the stator portion 320 by means of clips, double-sided adhesive, or magnetism. For example, a clip groove can be provided on the end face of the stator portion 320, and a corresponding clip structure can be provided on the edge of the imaging mirror 500 for fixing; alternatively, double-sided adhesive can be used to attach the imaging mirror 500 to the end face of the stator portion 320. It is understood that the shape of the imaging mirror 500 adapting to the shape of the stator portion 320 not only better fits the structure of the stator portion 320, improving image quality, but also makes the overall appearance of the gimbal more harmonious, enhancing the aesthetics of the product and the user experience.
[0040] The manufacturing method and structure of the imaging mirror 500 can also be varied.
[0041] For example, in some embodiments, the imaging mirror 500 is a metal imaging mirror 500 formed by stamping. It is understood that the metal imaging mirror 500 can be surface-treated to make its surface sufficiently smooth, thereby achieving a mirror-like effect.
[0042] For example, in other embodiments, the surface of the imaging mirror 500 is coated with a reflective layer of reflective material. A thin film with reflective properties, such as aluminum or silver, can be coated, deposited, or pasted onto the imaging mirror. The thin film has a high reflectivity, which causes light to be reflected on its surface, thereby achieving the reflective effect of the mirror.
[0043] The imaging mirror 500 includes a transparent lens and a reflective layer disposed on the stator portion 320. The reflective layer is located between the stator portion 320 and the transparent lens, and is capable of reflecting light. The transparent lens can be a glass lens, an acrylic transparent lens, etc. For example, a thin film with reflective properties, such as aluminum or silver, can be coated, deposited, or adhered onto the transparent lens. The thin film has high reflectivity, causing light to be reflected on its surface, thereby achieving a mirror-like reflective effect.
[0044] More specifically, in some embodiments, the imaging lens 500 can be detachably connected to the handheld gimbal 10 by at least one method, such as a snap-fit, double-sided adhesive, or magnetism. This arrangement means that the main structure of the gimbal and the imaging lens can be manufactured separately and then the imaging lens 500 can be installed onto the gimbal, simplifying the manufacturing process and making installation easier.
[0045] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0050] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
