Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone accessories technology, and more specifically, it relates to a mounting device for a drone camera. Background Technology

[0002] Drones are lightweight flying vehicles that are often equipped with cameras for aerial photography. However, many common drones do not come with dedicated cameras; instead, they are mounted and secured using additional structures.

[0003] Most common camera mounting devices for drones are connection devices. The upper part connects to the drone via bolts, and the camera is then installed on the lower part of the device, allowing the drone to carry the camera. However, in reality, drones on the market are not standardized, and the mounting hole structures for the connection devices are not uniform. Depending on the model and type, the mounting hole structures will be located in different positions. Common camera mounting devices also tend to have fixed structures. When using them with drones, a compatible mounting device is required; incompatible devices and drones cannot be used, resulting in low adaptability. Furthermore, the fixed structure of common mounting devices means that once the camera is installed, it is completely fixed and cannot be adjusted. During use, the camera's shooting direction is fixed, requiring continuous drone flight to capture images from different angles, leading to poor performance. In addition to the varying structures of drones due to different models, the market also offers a wide variety of cameras with different sizes and structures. Fixed mounting devices can only secure specific types of cameras, resulting in low adaptability and limited effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a mounting device for a drone camera, which has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The mounting bracket provides a connection and connection structure. The position of the fixed plate can be adjusted by the cooperation of the sliding frame, adjusting screw, moving slider and fixed plate. The strip mounting hole cooperates with the fixed plate to provide a bolt mounting structure, so the working position of the strip mounting hole can be adjusted. The strip mounting hole itself can also be adapted to the position adjustment of the bolt in the same direction. Through the cooperation of the two, it can adapt to the position of the bottom connection and mounting structure of different drones, improve the applicability and facilitate use.

[0019] 2. The first adjusting motor works in conjunction with the rotating disk and the support frame to provide power for angle adjustment. The second adjusting motor works in conjunction with the support frame and the fixed frame to provide power for adjusting the angle of the fixed frame. The combined power of the first and second adjusting motors allows the fixed frame to rotate with the camera in different directions, thereby enabling omnidirectional angle adjustment, controlling the camera's shooting direction, and facilitating the use of the equipment.

[0020] 3. By using a fixed frame, adjusting bolts, and pressure plate, the pressure plate can be controlled to move within the fixed frame. The pressure plate applies pressure to the camera, and in conjunction with the fixed frame, clamps and fixes the camera. The position of the pressure plate can be adjusted to accommodate cameras of different sizes, improving the applicability of the equipment and making it convenient to use.

[0032] In this embodiment, a connecting structure is provided by the mounting bracket 1, and a fixing structure is provided by the fixing plate 5. The fixing plate 5 is adjusted according to the mounting hole structure of the corresponding UAV. By controlling the rotation of the adjusting screw 3, the adjusting screw 3 cooperates with the movable sliders 4 at both ends to provide power, so that the movable sliders 4 move inward along the sliding frame 2 and drive the fixing plate 5 to move. The fixing plate 5 is moved to a suitable position and aligned with the mounting hole structure of the UAV. The strip structure adapts to the position in another direction and aligns with the mounting hole structure of the UAV through the strip mounting hole 6, so that the equipment can be installed.

[0033] More specifically, when using the equipment, the camera is installed in the fixed frame 10, and by controlling the first adjustment motor 7, the first adjustment motor 7 drives the rotating disk 8 to move. The rotating disk 8 rotates together with the support frame 9, which can adjust the orientation of the fixed frame 10 in the horizontal direction, thereby changing the shooting direction of the camera.

[0048] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment:

[0049] When adapting to the equipment, the mounting bracket 1 provides a connection structure, and the fixing plate 5 provides a fixing structure. According to the mounting hole structure of the corresponding UAV, the fixing plate 5 is adjusted. The control handle 21 controls the rotation of the adjusting screw 3, causing the adjusting screw 3 to engage with the sliding sliders 4 at both ends, providing power to move the sliding sliders 4 inward along the sliding frame 2, thus moving the fixing plate 5 to a suitable position, aligning it with the UAV's mounting hole structure. The strip structure adapts to the position in another direction, aligning it with the UAV's mounting hole structure through the strip mounting hole 6. Then, the mounting bolt 17 provides the mounting parts. Before using the mounting bolt 17, the anti-slip pad 18 is first placed on the mounting bolt 17, and then the mounting bolt... 17 is inserted into the mounting hole structure of the drone through the strip mounting hole 6, and the anti-slip pad 18 provides an anti-slip effect, making the fixation more stable. In addition, the movement of the fixing plate 5 is restricted and supported by the cooperation of the support slide frame 19 and the support slider 20. After the mounting bracket 1 is fixed on the drone, the camera equipment is installed. By controlling the rotation of the adjusting bolt 12, the adjusting bolt 12 cooperates with the fixing frame 10 through the connecting pipe 16 and moves along the fixing frame 10. The adjusting bolt 12 moves the pressure plate 13, so that the pressure plate 13 cooperates with the inner side of the other end of the fixing frame 10 to clamp and fix the camera. It can adapt to cameras of different sizes. Both the pressure plate 13 and the fixing frame 10 are in contact with the camera through the fixing pad 14, which improves the fixation effect.

[0050] When using the device, the first adjusting motor 7 is controlled to drive the rotating disk 8 to move. The rotating disk 8 rotates together with the support frame 9, which adjusts the orientation of the fixed frame 10 in the horizontal direction, thereby changing the shooting direction of the camera. The second adjusting motor 11 is controlled to drive the fixed frame 10 to rotate through the connecting column 15, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the camera in the vertical direction. Through the cooperation of the first adjusting motor 7 and the second adjusting motor 11, the shooting direction of the camera can be adjusted in three dimensions, which facilitates the shooting work. In addition, the power box 22 is equipped with a mobile power supply 23 to provide additional power and reduce the power pressure on the device.
