[0017] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached figures Detailed Implementation
[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0019] The gimbal and camera device according to the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a gimbal includes a gimbal body 1, a damping assembly, a first cantilever 3, and a second cantilever 4. The damping assembly includes a first damping element 21 and a second damping element 22. The first end of the first cantilever 3 is used to mount a camera. The second cantilever 4 is rotatably mounted on the gimbal body 1 and forms a mounting groove with a single-sided opening. The second damping element 22 and the first damping element 21 are respectively provided on the opposite walls of the first cantilever 3 and the mounting groove. The second end of the first cantilever 3 can be inserted into the mounting groove and slides and rubs against the first damping element 21. The second damping element 22 slides and rubs against the inner wall of the mounting groove.
[0021] In this embodiment, the gimbal is equipped with a telescopically sliding first cantilever 3 and a second cantilever 4. By manually extending the first cantilever 3, the telescopic adjustment between the first cantilever 3 and the second cantilever 4 can be achieved, solving the technical problem of poor gimbal adjustment flexibility in existing technologies. Furthermore, a first damping element 21 is provided in sliding friction engagement with the first cantilever 3, and a second damping element 22 is provided in sliding friction engagement with the inner wall of the mounting groove. This ensures that once the relative sliding adjustment between the first cantilever 3 and the second cantilever 4 is completed to a specific position, it is not prone to uncontrolled movement, ensuring stable shooting. The recording device can be a mobile phone, camcorder, or other device used for shooting.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting groove 31 extending along the length of the first cantilever 3 is provided on the side near the second end of the first cantilever 3. A limiting protrusion 41 is formed on the inner wall of the mounting groove, which slides into the limiting groove 31. When the first cantilever 3 moves along the mounting groove, the limiting protrusion 41 moves relative to the limiting groove 31. The limiting protrusion 41 is limited by the limiting groove 31 at both ends along the length of the limiting groove 31 and cannot move further. This application effectively restricts the relative movement between the first cantilever 3 and the second cantilever 4 by limiting the protrusion 41 by inserting it into the limiting groove 31, thus preventing the first cantilever 3 from slipping out of the mounting groove.
[0023] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a damping groove 5 is also provided on the groove wall of the mounting groove. The damping groove 5 is provided near the open end of the mounting groove and extends circumferentially along the inner wall surface of the second cantilever 4. The first damping member 21 is adapted to and limited by the damping groove 5. By providing a damping groove 5 for locking the first damping member 21, it is ensured that when the first cantilever 3 and the first damping member 21 are adjusted to slide relative to each other, it is not easy for the first damping member 21 to fall off from the mounting groove.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting rib 6 is also provided on the bottom of the mounting groove. The limiting rib 6 encloses and forms a receiving space for accommodating the first cantilever 3. The second damping member 22 can abut against the limiting rib 6 to reduce the impact caused by the direct contact between the first cantilever 3 and the limiting rib 6. The shape of the receiving space is adapted to the second damping member 22, and the limiting rib 6 is used to restrict the movement of the second damping member 22. In addition, both the first damping member 21 and the second damping member 22 can be made of materials such as POM (Polyformaldehyde) resin, which has good lubrication and wear resistance. Other materials can also be used, and adjustments can be made according to actual needs.
[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the second cantilever 4 includes two oppositely arranged mounting portions 42, which enclose each other to form a mounting groove. Each mounting portion 42 has oppositely arranged damping grooves 5. Two first damping elements 21 are arranged corresponding to the damping grooves 5, allowing for easy disassembly and replacement of the first damping elements 21. Furthermore, the open end face of the second cantilever 4 is inclined, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing structure and exposing more surface area on the first cantilever 3. This allows for marking on the first cantilever 3, facilitating user observation of the sliding adjustment distance of the first cantilever 3 relative to the second cantilever 4.
[0026] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, one mounting part 42 is provided with a limiting rib 6, and the other mounting part 42 is provided with a relief groove 7 corresponding to the limiting rib 6. The limiting rib 6 is limited and engaged in the relief groove 7, which plays an auxiliary role in installation and positioning, and facilitates quick assembly and disassembly between the two mounting parts 42.
[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the gimbal also includes a locking fastener 11. Multiple mounting holes 8 are provided on both mounting portions 42, and the mounting holes 8 on the two mounting portions 42 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The locking fastener 11 passes through the mounting holes 8 to detachably connect the two mounting portions 42. In this application, each mounting portion 42 is provided with two mounting holes 8, and similarly, two locking fasteners 11 are provided to sequentially pass through the mounting holes 8 on the two mounting portions 42 to lock the two mounting portions 42. One of the mounting holes 8 on the mounting portion 42 is located on the limiting protrusion 41 and extends along the length direction of the limiting protrusion 41. The mounting portion 42 is also provided with an auxiliary positioning protrusion 10, which also has mounting holes 8 extending along the length direction of the auxiliary positioning protrusion, to ensure stable installation between the two mounting portions 42. It should be noted that the number of mounting holes 8 can be set according to actual needs, and the locking fastener 11 can be a screw from the prior art, and fastened with a nut.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first end of the first cantilever 3 is provided with a clamping member 9 capable of clamping a camera. The clamping member 9 includes two clamping parts, and the distance between the two clamping parts is adjustable to accommodate camera parts of different sizes, thus having good versatility.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, both the first cantilever 3 and the second cantilever 4 are L-shaped structural components. The ends of the first cantilever 3 and the second cantilever 4 that are opposite to each other extend in the same direction, resulting in good support stability.
[0030] In this embodiment, a recording device is also proposed, including a gimbal as described above. Since the recording device adopts all embodiments of the gimbal in this application, it also has all the beneficial effects of the gimbal, which will not be described in detail here.
