Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shooting gimbal technology, and in particular to a bipedal shooting stabilization gimbal. Background Technology

[0002] Current pan-tilt head (PTZ) devices are generally handheld or fixed. During shooting, the camera is fixed to the PTG head, and the operator holds the PTG head, or the PTG head is fixed to a robotic arm. The camera is moved by the operator's movement or the movement of the robotic arm. However, when shooting in complex terrain, operator movement alone is insufficient, and robotic arms typically require rails and related drive mechanisms, making them less suitable for complex environments. Therefore, we propose a bipedal shooting stabilization PTG to address the problems of the existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a bipedal shooting stabilization gimbal, including a bipedal robot 1 and a shooting gimbal 2;

[0031] The bipedal robot 1 includes a torso 3 and legs 4 located on both sides of the bottom of the torso 3. The legs 4 include thighs 5 and lower legs 6, which are hinged together.

The output shaft of the second leg motor 8 is connected to the thigh 5. A third leg motor 9 is fixed on the thigh 5. The output shaft of the third leg motor 9 is connected to the lower leg 6 through a connecting rod, which is used to drive the lower leg 6 to move relative to the thigh 5.

[0032] A gimbal mount 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the torso 3, and the shooting gimbal 2 is fixedly installed on the gimbal mount 10.

[0033] The shooting gimbal 2 includes a fixed base 11, a translation axis motor 12, an L-shaped bracket 13, a U-shaped bracket 14, and a pitch axis motor 15. The fixed base 11 is fixedly installed on the gimbal mounting base 10. The translation axis motor 12 is fixed on the fixed base 11. One end of the L-shaped bracket 13 is fixed to the output shaft of the translation axis motor 12, and the other end of the L-shaped bracket 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the U-shaped bracket 14. A pitch axis motor 15 is fixed to each of the two free ends of the U-shaped bracket 14. The two pitch axis motors 15 are arranged opposite to each other, and a shooting mounting bracket 16 is fixed to the output shaft of the two pitch axis motors 15.

[0034] In use, the shooting device 29 (such as a camera) is fixedly mounted on the shooting mounting bracket 16. Figure 7 As shown, through the coordinated control of the first leg motor 7, the second leg motor 8, and the third leg motor 9 of the bipedal robot 1, the bipedal robot 1 can move on complex terrain. While the bipedal robot 1 moves, the translation axis motor 12 and the pitch axis motor 15 of the shooting gimbal 2 compensate for the changes in posture during the movement, thereby ensuring the stability of the shooting device 29 on the shooting mounting frame 16 and achieving stable shooting on complex terrain. By integrating the shooting gimbal 2 onto the bipedal robot 1 and utilizing the multi-scene adaptability of the bipedal robot 1, the shooting application scenarios become more comprehensive and diverse.

[0035] The gimbal mounting base 10 has a mounting hole 24 in the middle and an annular groove 25 on its upper surface. The lower surface of the fixed base 11 has a protruding ring 26 that is embedded in the annular groove 25. A fixed shaft 27 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the lower surface of the fixed base 11. The fixed shaft 27 passes through the mounting hole 24 and is threadedly connected to the locking nut 28. In use, the fixed base 11 can be rotated to adjust its position. After adjustment, the locking nut 28 is tightened to fix the fixed base 11 to the gimbal mounting base 10, which facilitates the installation and angle adjustment of the gimbal 2.

Each gyroscope, translation axis motor 12, and pitch axis motor 15 are electrically connected to the controller. Each gyroscope is responsible for monitoring the rotation angle and speed changes of the corresponding motor axis. When the bipedal robot 1 moves the camera gimbal 2, different gyroscopes quickly capture the motion information of their respective axes and then transmit the data to the controller. After analysis and calculation, the controller sends commands to the corresponding motors to drive them to perform reverse compensation rotation, thereby maintaining the stability of the camera device 29.

[0039] In this embodiment, a foot assembly 19 is detachably connected to the bottom of the lower leg 6. The foot assembly 19 includes a connecting rod 20 and a foot connected to the connecting rod 20. The connecting rod 20 is fixedly connected to the lower leg 6 by bolts.
