Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera bracket technology, and in particular to a multi-angle camera bracket for drones. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of continuous technological innovation and steady economic growth, drones are gradually moving from professional fields into everyday life, increasingly entering ordinary households. Today, using drones for aerial photography has become a popular and sought-after method for many photography enthusiasts. And for drones to carry cameras for shooting, camera tripods have become an indispensable accessory.

[0003] For example, a multi-angle aerial survey camera bracket for UAVs, with publication number CN220181113U, includes a fixed connecting plate installed on the bottom of the UAV. Two connecting rods are located at the bottom of the fixed connecting plate, and a connecting housing is rotatably connected to the inner side of each connecting rod. An aerial survey camera for aerial surveying is rotatably connected inside the connecting housing. The aerial survey camera has a shooting lens and is circular. The connecting housing is sized to match the aerial survey camera. By rotating the connecting housing, the shooting angle of the aerial survey camera can be adjusted, and the camera can be protected during shooting. By rotating the shooting lens into the connecting housing, the connecting housing can protect the shooting lens, preventing damage from collisions when not in use, which could affect subsequent shooting. This also facilitates storage and retrieval.

[0004] In summary, the existing technology has the following technical problems: While it can rotate the camera lens to the connecting housing for protection, other parts of the camera that should be protected by the housing are exposed. During improper operation or when the camera is not in use, these exposed parts are highly susceptible to damage from impacts, affecting the camera's subsequent normal use and causing unnecessary losses. Therefore, we propose a multi-angle camera bracket for UAVs. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Example

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4A multi-angle camera bracket for drones includes a first motor 1 fixed to the drone landing gear 2. The output end of the first motor 1 is fixed with a mounting plate 3. The bottom of the mounting plate 3 is fixed with a fixing cavity shell 4. A panoramic camera 5 is mounted on the bottom of the fixing cavity shell 4. A protective mechanism is mounted on the inner side and bottom of the fixing cavity shell 4 to protect the panoramic camera 5. By starting the first motor 1, the output end of the first motor 1 can drive the mounting plate 3 to rotate, thereby realizing multi-angle shooting by the panoramic camera 5.

[0025] The protective mechanism includes a drive assembly and a mating assembly. The drive assembly is mounted inside the fixed cavity shell 4, and the mating assembly is mounted inside the drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a second motor 6, a worm gear 7, a worm wheel ring 8, and a rotating wide ring 9. The second motor 6 is fixed to one side of the fixed cavity shell 4. The output end of the second motor 6 passes through the inside of the fixed cavity shell 4 and is fixed to the worm gear 7. The worm wheel ring 8 is meshed with the outer side of the worm gear 7. The rotating wide ring 9 is fixed to the bottom of the worm wheel ring 8 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed cavity shell 4. A hollow cylinder is provided at the center of the inside of the fixed cavity shell 4. The hollow cylinder is fixed to the inside of the fixed cavity shell 4 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the worm wheel ring 8.

[0026] Multiple straight grooves 10 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the rotating wide ring 9. A slider 11 is slidably connected to the inner side of each straight groove 10. The straight grooves 10 facilitate the displacement of the slider 11 when the rotating wide ring 9 rotates.

[0027] The components include anti-detachment parallel grooves 12, moving strips 13, and protective housings 14. Multiple anti-detachment parallel grooves 12 corresponding to the positions of sliders 11 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the fixed cavity housing 4. The top of the anti-detachment parallel grooves 12 is connected to the bottom of the straight grooves 10. Moving strips 13 are slidably connected to the inner side of each anti-detachment parallel groove 12. The top of the moving strips 13 is rotatably connected to the sliders 11 by pins. The bottom of each moving strip 13 is detachably connected to the protective housing 14. The moving strips 13 are detachably connected to the protective housing 14 by screws or buckles, which is convenient to replace the protective housing 14 with different specifications according to the size of the panoramic camera 5 if the protective housing 14 is damaged. Example

[0028] Further optimizations to Example 1, specifically, such as... Figure 3-4As shown, an adjustment mechanism is assembled between the panoramic camera 5 and the worm gear ring 8. The adjustment mechanism includes vertical teeth 15, a gear 16, a threaded rod 17, a mounting plate 18, and a threaded hole 19. Multiple vertical teeth 15 are evenly distributed and fixed on the inner side of the worm gear ring 8. A gear 16 meshes with each of the multiple vertical teeth 15. A threaded hole 19 corresponding to the position of the gear 16 is opened at the bottom of the fixed cavity shell 4. A threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded hole 19. The top of the threaded rod 17 is fixed to the gear 16. A mounting plate 18 is fixed at the bottom and is fixed to the panoramic camera 5. When the worm gear ring 8 rotates, the worm gear ring 8 can drive the vertical teeth 15 to mesh with the gear 16 to rotate, so that the gear 16 moves up or down along the outside of the vertical teeth 15, so that the threaded rod 17 rotates up or down along the inside of the threaded hole 19, thereby causing the mounting plate 18 to drive the panoramic camera 5 to rise or fall, so as to facilitate the protection of the panoramic camera 5 or to prevent the lens of the panoramic camera 5 from being blocked by the protective shell 14 when shooting.

[0029] In summary:

[0030] This utility model addresses the technical problem of existing technologies that, while allowing the camera lens to be rotated into the connecting housing for protection, other parts of the camera that should be protected by the housing are exposed. During flight operations, improper handling or when the camera is not in use, these exposed parts are highly susceptible to damage from impacts, affecting subsequent normal use and causing unnecessary losses. The present invention addresses this problem by employing the technical solutions described in the above embodiments. Furthermore, the implementation process of the above technical solutions is as follows:

[0031] When protection of the mounting plate 3 is required, the second motor 6 is started. The output end of the second motor 6 drives the worm gear 7 to mesh with the worm wheel ring 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wide ring 9 to rotate. Because the straight groove 10 is slidably connected to the slider 11, the slider 11 is rotatably connected to the moving strip 13, and the moving strip 13 is slidably connected to the anti-detachment parallel groove 12 and connected to the protective shell 14, multiple moving strips 13 can drive the protective shell 14 to move towards the panoramic camera 5. At the same time, the worm wheel ring 8 drives the vertical teeth 15 to mesh with the gear 16 to rotate, which causes the gear 16 to move upward along the outside of the vertical teeth 15, causing the threaded rod 17 to rotate and rise along the inside of the threaded hole 19, which in turn causes the mounting plate 18 to drive the panoramic camera 5 to rise until multiple protective shells 14 surround and protect the panoramic camera 5.

[0032] With the above-mentioned settings, this application will certainly solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and at the same time achieve the following technical effects:

[0033] This invention, through the structural design of the protective and adjustment mechanisms, allows the device to easily form a sealed space using multiple protective shells 14 to provide comprehensive protection for the lens and body of the panoramic camera 5. When the panoramic camera 5 needs to be used, the multiple protective shells 14 can be unfolded, and the panoramic camera 5 can be extended, allowing the lens of the panoramic camera 5 to be fully exposed for multi-angle shooting, thus improving the safety and convenience of use.
