Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone aerial photography technology, specifically a multi-angle camera fixing device for drones. Background Technology

[0002] With multi-dimensional angle adjustment and stable fixation as its core, this technology is applied to the field of drone aerial photography and solves the problems of limited angle adjustment range, unstable fixation, and easy image shaking of traditional camera fixing devices.

[0003] A search revealed existing technology (application number: CN210069399U), which describes "a camera fixing device for a drone". This utility model includes a fixed base, a bottom mounting plate, a fixing mechanism, and a camera mechanism. The bottom mounting plate is located below the fixed base, and its upper surface is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed base. The bottom mounting plate has a semi-U-shaped design, and its lower surface has two dovetail grooves. The fixing mechanism is fixedly installed at the lower end of the bottom mounting plate, and its lower end is located at the camera mechanism. The fixing mechanism includes two movable clamping frames with the same specifications and arranged opposite each other. The length of both movable clamping frames is the same as the width of the bottom mounting plate.

[0004] However, while the existing technology uses two retractable movable clamping frames to hold the upper positioning block of the camera securely and does not require the use of screwdrivers or other tools for installation, making it more convenient to operate, it still has some shortcomings: the angle adjustment of the camera installed in the existing technology is limited, while this device can adjust the angle of multiple cameras installed on the bottom of the drone at the same time.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-angle camera fixing device for a drone, comprising: a body 1; support legs 2 arranged around the bottom of the body 1; a support plate 3 welded to the support legs 2; a base 13 for supporting components; a locking component including a rotating shaft 4 rotatably connected to the support plate 3, and an incomplete gear 5 arranged on the rotating shaft 4; a rotating component including a turntable 9 arranged on the rotating shaft 4, and the turntable 9 having a sliding groove; a clamping component including a sliding column 10 slidably connected to the sliding groove on the turntable 9; an angle adjustment component including a rotating shaft 17 rotatably connected to the base 13, and a worm gear 16 arranged on the rotating shaft 17; and a shooting component including a support frame 18 arranged on the rotating shaft 17, and a camera 20 rotatably connected to the support frame 18.

[0031] In this embodiment, the locking component fixes the pivot at position 4, the rotating component drives the clamping component to clamp, the clamping component fixes the base 13, the angle adjustment component drives the shooting component to rotate, and the shooting component itself can rotate and adjust to achieve shooting from more than 20 angles.

[0032] Specifically, the locking assembly includes: a threaded rod 6, which is threadedly connected to the support plate 3; and a rack 7, which is slidably connected to the support plate 3, rotatably connected to the threaded rod 6, and meshes with the teeth on the incomplete gear 5.

[0033] Among them, rotating the threaded rod 6 drives the rack 7 to move, and the rack 7 meshes with the incomplete gear 5 to restrict the rotation of the rotating shaft 4, thereby locking or unlocking the rotating shaft 4.

[0034] Specifically, the rotating assembly includes a disc 8, which is disposed at the bottom of the support plate 3 and has a second groove on its surface, and is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 4.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, when the turntable 9 rotates, it drives the sliding column 10 to slide along the groove of the turntable 9, providing guidance for the sliding column 10.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Specifically, the clamping assembly includes: a connecting rod 11, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding column 10 and slidably connected to the second sliding groove on the disc 8; and a clamping block 12, which is disposed at one end of the connecting rod 11.

[0038] It should be noted that the sliding column 10 slides along the slide groove, causing the connecting rod 11 to move, so that the clamping block 12 moves closer to or further away from the base 13, clamping or releasing the base 13.

[0039] Specifically, the angle adjustment assembly includes: a drive motor 14, which is arranged on the base 13; and a worm gear 15, which is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 14 and meshes with the teeth of the worm wheel 16.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the drive motor 14 drives the worm gear 15 to rotate, and the worm gear 15 drives the worm wheel 16 to rotate the rotating shaft 17, thereby adjusting the horizontal rotation angle of the shooting component.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] Specifically, the shooting component includes a drive motor 19, which is arranged on the support frame 18 and is used to rotate the camera 20.

[0043] It should be noted that the drive motor 219 drives the camera 20 to rotate around the support frame 18, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the camera 20.

[0044] Specifically, the support plate 3 is made of aluminum alloy, which is easy to drill.

[0045] In use, the user rotates the threaded rod 6 to disengage the rack 7 from the incomplete gear 5. At this time, the user places the base 13 on the disc 8 and rotates the first rotating shaft 4 to rotate the turntable 9. The turntable 9 has three sets of arc-shaped sliding grooves, which drive the sliding column 10 to slide on the first sliding groove and drive the clamping block 12 to slide inward to clamp the base 13. At this time, the user rotates the threaded rod 6 to engage the rack 7 with the incomplete gear 5, which restricts the rotation of the first rotating shaft 4. Four sets of clamping components are set at the bottom of the body 1, which the user can install as needed. After clamping, the user starts the body 1. When the user needs to observe different angles, the user starts the first drive motor 14 to drive the worm gear 15, which drives the worm wheel 16 and the second rotating shaft 17 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the camera 20. At the same time, the user can start the second drive motor 19 to adjust the tilt angle of the camera 20.

[0046] It should be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device that can be controlled by a computer or other means. The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
