Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a gimbal-mounted racing drone. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, racing drones, as a unique type of drone, play an important role in areas such as competition, entertainment, and filming in specific scenarios. However, existing racing drones have certain limitations in terms of filming capabilities.

[0003] Traditional racing drones typically come equipped with integrated lenses. While these lenses can meet basic shooting needs, their performance falls short in several aspects. Firstly, the image quality and resolution of traditional racing drone lenses are limited, making it difficult to capture high-definition, high-quality images and videos. In applications requiring high image quality, such as professional aerial photography and film and television footage acquisition, they fail to provide satisfactory shooting results. Secondly, their shooting angles are relatively fixed, lacking flexibility and failing to meet users' needs for diverse shooting perspectives. Furthermore, the image stabilization performance of traditional racing drone lenses needs improvement. When the drone is flying at high speeds or encountering turbulence, the captured footage is prone to blurring and shaking, affecting the stability and quality of the footage.

[0004] Action cameras, such as GoPro, offer numerous advantages and are ideally suited for use with racing drones. GoPro action cameras are compact and lightweight, making them easy to mount on racing drones without adding excessive burden to their operation. They boast excellent image stabilization, ensuring stable and smooth footage even during intense motion. GoPro also features a high-resolution image sensor and high-quality lenses, capable of capturing high-definition, detailed images with excellent color reproduction, delivering outstanding image quality for both still photos and videos. Furthermore, GoPro action cameras offer a variety of shooting modes, such as time-lapse and slow-motion, providing users with more creative options and shooting enjoyment.

[0005] Currently, most racing drones on the market are not integrated with action cameras, failing to fully leverage the advantages of action cameras to meet users' demands for high-quality, diverse shooting. Therefore, integrating action cameras (like GoPro) into racing drones has become an important direction for technological development, with broad application prospects and market potential. This integration not only enhances the shooting capabilities of racing drones, providing users with a better shooting experience, but also expands their application areas, allowing them to be used in more scenarios.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1-6 The gimbal racing drone with a motion camera shown includes a cabin 100, four arms 200 mounted on both sides of the cabin 100, a drive assembly 300 mounted at the end of the arms 200, a motion camera assembly 400 mounted at the front of the cabin 100, an antenna assembly 500 mounted at the rear of the cabin 100, and a battery assembly 600 mounted on the cabin 100.

[0024] Specifically, the control components of the drone are located inside the cabin 100, the arm 200 is an approximately Z-shaped tubular structure with square block structures at both ends, and the end where the drive component 300 is installed is higher than the other end.

[0025] Furthermore, the action camera assembly 400 includes an action camera 401 and a drone lens 404. The action camera 401 is mounted inside a camera frame 402. The camera frame 402 is mounted on a gimbal mount 403 via servos 405 on both sides. The gimbal mount 403 is mounted on a front fork mount 406. The front fork mount 406 is mounted on a cabin 100 and extends forward from the cabin 100. A lens bracket 407 is also provided on the top of the cabin 100, and the drone lens 404 is located on the top of the lens bracket 407.

[0026] Specifically, the action camera 401 can be purchased directly, such as GoPro, DJI, SJCam, etc. The lens bracket 407 is fixed to the top of the cabin 100 with bolts, and the drone lens 404 is fixed to the top of the lens bracket 407 with bolts.

[0027] It should be noted that since the action camera 401 is installed at the front of the cabin 100, there is no place to install the drone lens 404. However, the drone lens 404 cannot be obstructed and affect flight, so a lens bracket 407 is designed for installation. In addition, to further ensure the stability of the action camera 401, a servo motor 405 is used in conjunction with a gimbal mount 403 for installation, which can realize dual control, that is, one person controls the drone and one person controls the action camera 401. At the same time, the servo motor can control the maximum pitch angle range of the action camera from -90° to 90°, which can be achieved by rotating the servo motor.

[0028] Furthermore, the gimbal mount 403 includes multiple shock-absorbing balls 403c connecting the upper gimbal plate 403a and the lower gimbal plate 403b, and the drone lens 404 is installed between the upper gimbal plate 403a and the lower gimbal plate 403b; the front fork mount 406 includes a pair of upper front fork plates 406a and a pair of lower front fork plates 406b, which together with the cabin 100 form a Y-shaped structure.

[0029] Specifically, the shock-absorbing ball 403c is set on the edge of the upper gimbal plate 403a and the lower gimbal plate 403b. The top and bottom of the shock-absorbing ball 403c are equipped with a snap-fit ​​structure. The upper gimbal plate 403a and the lower gimbal plate 403b have corresponding slots that cooperate with the snap-fit ​​structure. The shock-absorbing ball 403c is snapped onto the edge of the upper gimbal plate 403a and the lower gimbal plate 403b.

[0030] It should be noted that the gimbal mount 403, designed in this way, can further enhance shock absorption performance.

[0031] Furthermore, the cabin 100 includes a top plate 102 and a bottom plate 103 connected by side plates 101, which are spliced ​​together to form a square box structure, and four arms 200 are installed at the four corners of the cabin 100.

[0032] Specifically, the side plate 101, top plate 102, and bottom plate 103 adopt a hollow structure and are made of aluminum.

[0033] It should be noted that this structural design, combined with the materials used, further reduces the weight of the cabin 100.

[0034] Furthermore, the antenna assembly 500 includes an antenna mount 501 and a GPS bracket 502 mounted at the rear of the base. An antenna 503 is inserted into the antenna mount 501, and a GPS 504 is provided in the GPS bracket 502.

[0035] Specifically, the antenna mount 501 is located between the top plate 102 and the rear of the bottom plate 103, and can also serve as a connector between the top plate 102 and the bottom plate 103, thereby ensuring the overall performance of the cabin 100 and avoiding independent installation.

[0036] It should be noted that antenna 503 and GPS 504 are installed using independent antenna mount 501 and GPS bracket 502 to avoid the influence of electronic equipment inside the drone, such as affecting the structure of the antenna 503 signal or the quality of GPS 504 satellite acquisition.

[0037] Furthermore, the bottom of the cabin 100 is equipped with foot pads 700.

[0038] Specifically, the foot pads 700 can be made of rubber and are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the cabin 100.

[0039] It should be noted that this design makes it more stable during landing.

[0040] Furthermore, the drive assembly 300 includes a drive motor 301 mounted on the arm 200, and a drive blade 302 is connected to the drive motor 301.

[0041] In the above embodiments, "installation" and "equipped" are all achieved by fasteners (bolts or other conventional fasteners or other conventional fixing methods) to achieve fixed assembly. For example, one end of the arm 200 is a square quick-release structure fixed to the nacelle 100 by bolts, and other "installations" are similar; the servo motor 405 is fixed to the gimbal mount 403 by bolts, and the camera frame 402 is fixed to the rotating end of the servo motor 405 by bolts; the antenna 503 is assembled with the antenna mount 501 by inserting the cylindrical structure at the base of the antenna 503 into the corresponding cylindrical socket on the antenna mount 501.

[0042] The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
