Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment installation technology, and in particular to a gimbal. Background Technology

[0002] A pan-tilt head is a platform used to fix and stabilize photographic equipment, measuring instruments, and other similar devices. Common pan-tilt heads allow for angle adjustment. They are typically used with a support bracket to hold the pan-tilt head and the equipment in place. Angle adjustment may be needed before or after equipment installation, but some pan-tilt heads only allow angle adjustment after equipment installation, and this adjustment can be difficult and cumbersome. Other pan-tilt heads lack reliable angle locking after equipment installation. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the main objective of this utility model is to provide a gimbal that allows for angle adjustment both before and after the installation of the equipment, and that the angle adjustment is convenient and reliable.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a gimbal, comprising: A gimbal mount is used to connect devices; A hinge pivot is disposed within the gimbal base. The hinge pivot includes a double-ended bolt, a first nut, a torque adjustment structure, a fixed connector, and a rotating connector. The first nut is threadedly connected to one end of the double-ended bolt. One end of the rotating connector is rotatably sleeved in the middle of the double-ended bolt, and the other end of the rotating connector is fixedly connected to the gimbal base. The torque adjustment structure and the fixed connector are both sleeved in the middle of the double-ended bolt. The torque adjustment structure is used to apply a preset pressure to the rotating connector to lock the angle of the rotating connector relative to the double-ended bolt. The rotating connector can overcome the pressure applied by the torque adjustment structure and rotate relative to the double-ended bolt under the action of external force. The tension knob is threaded to the end of the double-ended bolt away from the first nut. The tension knob is partially exposed on the gimbal base. Rotating the tension knob causes the double-ended bolt and the first nut to move along the axial direction of the double-ended bolt, so that the first nut approaches and presses against the torque adjustment structure and the rotating connector, thereby locking the rotating connector relative to the double-ended bolt.

[0005] Optionally, the hinge shaft further includes a sleeve and a second nut. The sleeve is movably fitted onto the middle of the double-ended bolt. The angle of the sleeve relative to the double-ended bolt is locked. One end of the sleeve abuts against the first nut, and the other end of the sleeve is threadedly connected to the second nut. The rotating connector is rotatably fitted onto the sleeve. The torque adjustment structure and the fixed connector are both fitted onto the sleeve. The torque adjustment structure, the fixed connector, and the rotating connector are located between the first nut and the second nut. Rotating the tightening knob causes the double-ended bolt and the first nut to move along the axial direction of the double-ended bolt, so that the first nut moves closer to the second nut. This causes the first nut and the second nut to press against the torque adjustment structure and the rotating connector, thereby locking the rotating connector relative to the double-ended bolt.

[0006] Optionally, the tightening knob includes a knob head and a rotating post that are fixedly connected. One end of the rotating post abuts against the second nut, and the other end of the rotating post is threadedly connected to the end of the double-ended bolt away from the first nut.

[0007] Optionally, the hinge shaft further includes a stop sleeve fitted over the double-ended bolt, one end of which abuts against the first nut and is threadedly connected to the double-ended bolt, and the other end of which abuts against the rotating connector.

[0008] Optionally, there are two rotating connectors, located on both sides of the fixed connector. The number of torque adjustment structures is the same as the number of rotating connectors, and they correspond one-to-one.

[0009] Optionally, the gimbal base includes a base body, a clamping assembly, and a quick-release female base. The base body has a receiving groove, the clamping assembly is disposed in the receiving groove, and the clamping assembly is used to clamp the quick-release female base or the device. The quick-release female base has mounting screws, and the mounting screws are used to connect the device.

[0010] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a first clamping member, a second clamping member, and a control structure. The control structure is used to drive the first clamping member and the second clamping member to move away from each other in order to clamp the quick-release socket or device.

[0011] Optionally, the control structure includes a supporting block, a control member, a first elastic member, a pushing member, and a second elastic member. The supporting block is located between the first holding member and the second holding member. The two sides of the supporting block abut against the first holding member and the second holding member, respectively. The control member has a locking protrusion. The supporting block has a locking hole adapted to the locking protrusion. One end of the first elastic member abuts against or connects to the bottom of the control member. The other end of the first elastic member abuts against or connects to the bottom wall of the receiving groove. One end of the second elastic member abuts against or connects to the supporting block. The other end of the second elastic member abuts against or connects to the side wall of the receiving groove. Pressing the control member causes the locking protrusion of the control member to disengage from the locking hole. The second elastic member is used to elastically extend when the locking protrusion disengages from the locking hole, thereby moving the abutment block. This causes the areas on both sides of the abutment block that abut against the first and second retaining members to change, thereby causing the first and second retaining members to move away from each other and thus locking the quick-release female or device. The first elastic member is used to move the abutment block toward the locking hole when the pusher pushes the abutment block so that the locking protrusion is aligned with the locking hole, so that the locking protrusion extends into the locking hole.

[0012] Optionally, the holding assembly further includes a third elastic member and a fourth elastic member disposed opposite to each other. One end of the third elastic member abuts against or connects to the side of the first holding member away from the second holding member, and the other end of the third elastic member abuts against or connects to the side wall of the receiving groove. One end of the fourth elastic member abuts against or connects to the side of the second holding member away from the first holding member, and the other end of the fourth elastic member abuts against or connects to the side wall of the receiving groove.

[0013] Optionally, the first retaining member has a first retaining portion, the second retaining member has a second retaining portion, the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion are disposed opposite to each other, the quick-release female seat has a first retaining hole and a second retaining hole, and the control structure is used to drive the first retaining member and the second retaining member to move away from each other, so as to retain the first retaining hole and the second retaining hole of the quick-release female seat.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages: When using the gimbal of this application, if the angle needs to be adjusted, the device or gimbal base can be directly turned, thereby causing the gimbal base and rotating connector to overcome the frictional pressure of the torque adjustment structure and rotate relative to the double-ended bolt. When the device is not installed, the torque adjustment structure positions the gimbal base and rotating connector at the required angle. When the device is installed, if the device is too heavy, the force applied by the torque adjustment structure may not be sufficient. Therefore, by rotating the tension knob, the double-ended bolt and the first nut are moved along the axial direction of the double-ended bolt, so that the first nut approaches and presses the rotating connector, thereby locking the rotating connector relative to the double-ended bolt. That is, the device, gimbal base and rotating connector are positioned at the required angle through the double locking of the hinge shaft and the tension knob. When the angle needs to be adjusted again, the tension knob can be loosened. In summary, when the equipment is not installed, the angle can be adjusted by directly rotating the gimbal base. After the angle is adjusted, it will automatically position itself, making the operation very convenient. After the equipment is installed, the angle can be adjusted by rotating the equipment or the gimbal base, and then the tension knob can be rotated to achieve double locking of the rotating connecting parts and the equipment, thereby locking the equipment and improving the reliability of the angle locking.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0021] The following will mainly describe the specific structure of the gimbal.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a gimbal includes a gimbal base 100, a hinge shaft 200, and a tension knob 300. The gimbal base 100 is used to connect equipment. The hinge shaft 200 is disposed within the gimbal base 100 and includes a double-ended bolt 210, a first nut 220, a torque adjustment structure 230, a fixed connector 240, and a rotating connector 250. The first nut 220 is threadedly connected to one end of the double-ended bolt 210. One end of the rotating connector 250 is rotatably sleeved on the middle of the double-ended bolt 210, and the other end of the rotating connector 250 is fixedly connected to the gimbal base 100. The torque adjustment structure 230 and the fixed connector 240 are both sleeved on the middle of the double-ended bolt 210. The torque adjustment structure 230 is used to adjust the torque of the gimbal. A preset pressure is applied to the rotating connector 250 to lock the angle of the rotating connector 250 relative to the double-ended bolt 210. The rotating connector 250 can rotate relative to the double-ended bolt 210 under the action of external force, overcoming the pressure applied by the torque adjustment structure 230. The tightening knob 300 is threadedly connected to the end of the double-ended bolt 210 away from the first nut 220. Part of the tightening knob 300 is exposed outside the gimbal base 100. Rotating the tightening knob 300 causes the double-ended bolt 210 and the first nut 220 to move axially along the double-ended bolt 210, so that the first nut 220 approaches and presses against the torque adjustment structure 230 and the rotating connector 250, thereby locking the rotating connector 250 relative to the double-ended bolt 210. In this embodiment, the device connected and installed on the gimbal base 100 is a photographic device. It is understood that in other embodiments, it can also be other devices such as measuring instruments. The middle part of the double-ended bolt 210 does not include the threads at both ends of the double-ended bolt 210.

[0023] When using the gimbal of this application and needing to adjust the angle, the device or gimbal base 100 can be directly turned, thereby causing the gimbal base 100 and the rotating connecting member 250 to rotate relative to the double-ended bolt 210 against the frictional pressure of the torque adjustment structure 230. When the device is not installed, the torque adjustment structure 230 positions the gimbal base 100 and the rotating connecting member 250 at the required angle. When the device is installed, if the device is too heavy, the force applied by the torque adjustment structure 230 may not be sufficient. Therefore, by rotating the tension adjustment knob... Button 300 drives the double-ended bolt 210 and the first nut 220 to move axially along the double-ended bolt 210, so that the first nut 220 approaches and presses against the rotating connector 250, thereby locking the rotating connector 250 relative to the double-ended bolt 210. That is, the equipment, gimbal base 100, and rotating connector 250 are positioned at the desired angle through the double locking of the hinge shaft 200 and the tension knob 300. When the angle needs to be adjusted again, simply loosen the tension knob 300. Before adjusting the gimbal angle, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, before adjusting the angle of the gimbal... Figure 3As shown. In summary, when the equipment is not installed, the angle can be adjusted by directly rotating the gimbal base 100. After the angle is adjusted, it will automatically position itself, making the operation very convenient. After the equipment is installed, the angle can be adjusted by rotating the equipment or the gimbal base 100, and then the tension knob 300 can be rotated to achieve double locking of the rotating connector 250 and the equipment, thereby locking the equipment and improving the reliability of the angle locking.

[0024] The hinge pivot 200 in this application uses the same principle as the hinge pivot 200 on the market. The hinge pivot 200 is a connecting component that allows rotational movement between two objects. When the angle is adjusted by rotation, the torque generated by the internal spring or friction plate is balanced with gravity / external force, forming a static resistance torque that makes the component hover stably.

[0025] Specifically, the gimbal can be used with support structures such as struts and brackets. For example, the gimbal can be connected to the triangular support double-headed bolt 210 frame via a fixed connector 240.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The hinge shaft 200 also includes a sleeve 260 and a second nut 270. The sleeve 260 is movably fitted onto the middle of the double-ended bolt 210, and the angle of the sleeve 260 relative to the double-ended bolt 210 is locked. One end of the sleeve 260 abuts against the first nut 220, and the other end of the sleeve 260 is threadedly connected to the second nut 270. The rotating connector 250 is rotatably fitted onto the sleeve 260. The torque adjustment structure 230 and the fixed connector 240 are both fitted onto the sleeve 260. 30. The fixed connector 240 and the rotating connector 250 are located between the first nut 220 and the second nut 270. Rotating the tension knob 300 causes the double-ended bolt 210 and the first nut 220 to move along the axial direction of the double-ended bolt 210, so that the first nut 220 moves closer to the second nut 270. Thus, the first nut 220 and the second nut 270 press the torque adjustment structure 230 and the rotating connector 250, thereby locking the rotating connector 250 relative to the double-ended bolt 210.

[0027] The rotating connector 250, torque adjusting structure 230, and fixed connector 240 are all fitted onto the stud bolt 210 via a sleeve 260. The stud bolt 210 has a circular cross-section with a portion cut off. The sleeve has a hole that matches the cross-sectional shape of the stud bolt 210, thus preventing the sleeve from rotating relative to the stud bolt 210. The rotating connector 250 has a circular hole that fits onto the sleeve, allowing it to rotate around the stud bolt 210. Similarly, the torque adjusting structure 230 and fixed connector 240 both have holes that match the cross-sectional shape of the sleeve, preventing them from rotating relative to the sleeve. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the middle part of the double-ended bolt 210 is circular, and then the upper and lower parts are cut off by two parallel lines. That is, the cross-section of the middle part of the double-ended bolt 210 is a curved shape formed by two parallel chords and corresponding arcs. The inner hole shape of the sleeve 260 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the middle part of the double-ended bolt 210. The outer contour shape of the cross-section of the sleeve 260 is similar to the cross-sectional shape of the middle part of the double-ended bolt 210, but larger in size. That is, the outer contour of the cross-section of the sleeve 260 is a curved shape formed by two parallel chords and corresponding arcs.

[0028] Specifically, when the angle needs to be adjusted, the device or gimbal base 100 is turned, causing the rotating connector 250 to rotate relative to the sleeve 260 against the frictional pressure of the torque adjustment structure 230 until the desired angle is reached. Then, the tension knob 300 is rotated. Since the double-ended bolt 210 cannot rotate relative to the sleeve 260 and other structures, the double-ended bolt 210 causes the first nut 220 to move closer to the tension knob 300. This reduces the distance between the first nut 220 and the second nut 270, increasing the torque of the torque adjustment structure 230 and increasing the squeezing pressure on the rotating connector 250, thereby locking the rotating connector 250. In other words, the torque adjustment structure 230 and the tension knob 300 achieve a double lock on the rotating connector 250, locking the rotating connector 250 and the device, thereby improving the reliability of the angle locking.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 The tension knob 300 includes a knob head 310 and a rotating post 320 that are fixedly connected. One end of the rotating post 320 abuts against the second nut 270, and the other end of the rotating post 320 is threadedly connected to the end of the double-ended bolt 210 away from the first nut 220. Specifically, the knob head 310 is exposed outside the gimbal base 100 for easy operation by the user.

[0030] Furthermore, a limiting screw 211 is connected to the end face of the double-ended bolt 210 near the knob head 310. The screw head of the limiting screw 211 is larger than the size of the rotating post 320, thereby preventing the rotating post 320 from exiting the double-ended bolt 210.

[0031] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The hinge pivot 200 also includes a stop sleeve 280 sleeved around the double-ended bolt 210. One end of the stop sleeve 280 abuts against the first nut 220 and is threadedly connected to the double-ended bolt 210, while the other end of the stop sleeve 280 abuts against the rotating connector 250. Specifically, the stop sleeve 280 is provided so that when the tension knob 300 is rotated to lock the rotating connector 250, the stop sleeve 280 also abuts against the side wall of the rotating connector 250, thereby further improving the reliability of the angle locking.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 There are two rotating connectors 250, located on either side of the fixed connector 240. Specifically, the arrangement of the two rotating connectors 250 makes the rotation of the equipment and the gimbal base 100 more stable and reliable. The number of torque adjustment structures 230 is the same as the number of rotating connectors 250, and they correspond one-to-one. Therefore, when there is no load or a small load, both rotating connectors 250 can achieve angle adjustment and fixation under the action of their respective torque adjustment structures 230.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The gimbal mount 100 includes a base body 110, a clamping assembly 120, and a quick-release female mount 130. The base body 110 has a receiving groove 111, and the clamping assembly 120 is disposed in the receiving groove 111. The clamping assembly 120 is used to clamp the quick-release female mount 130 or a device. The quick-release female mount 130 has a mounting screw 131 for connecting the device. Specifically, a camera or other photographic equipment can be directly mounted using the mounting screw 131. The clamping assembly 120 and the quick-release female mount 130 allow the quick-release female mount 130 to be removed relative to the clamping assembly 120, and then the clamping assembly 120 can be used to clamp and connect a camera or other photographic equipment, or to clamp and connect other devices that can be clamped, thus improving the applicability of the gimbal of this invention.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The holding assembly 120 includes a first holding member 121, a second holding member 122, and a control structure 123. The control structure 123 is used to drive the first holding member 121 and the second holding member 122 to move away from each other so as to hold the quick-release female seat 130 or the device.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The holding assembly 120 also includes a holding seat 124, which is disposed in the receiving groove 111. The first holding member 121, the second holding member 122 and the control structure 123 are all disposed in the receiving groove 111.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The control structure 123 includes a holding block 1231, a control member 1232, a first elastic member 1233, a pushing member 1234, and a second elastic member 1235. The holding block 1231 is located between the first holding member 121 and the second holding member 122, and its two sides abut against the first holding member 121 and the second holding member 122, respectively. The control member 1232 has a locking protrusion 1232A, and the holding block 1231 has a locking hole 1231A that matches the locking protrusion 1232A. One end of the first elastic member 1233 abuts against or connects to the bottom of the control member 1232, and the other end of the first elastic member 1233 abuts against or connects to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 111. One end of the second elastic member 1235 abuts against or connects to the holding block 1231, and the other end of the second elastic member 1235 abuts against... Alternatively, connect to the side wall of the receiving groove 111; press the control member 1232 so that the locking protrusion 1232A of the control member 1232 exits the locking hole 1231A, the second elastic member 1235 is used to elastically extend when the locking protrusion 1232A exits the locking hole 1231A, so as to drive the abutment block 1231 to move, so that the areas on both sides of the abutment block 1231 abutting the first retaining member 121 and the second retaining member 122 change, thereby driving the first retaining member 121 and the second retaining member 122 to move away from each other, the first elastic member 1233 is used to drive the abutment block 1231 to move toward the locking hole when the pusher 1234 pushes the abutment block 1231 so that the locking protrusion 1232A is aligned with the locking hole 1231A, so that the locking protrusion 1232A extends into the locking hole 1231A. In this embodiment, both the first elastic element 1233 and the second elastic element 1235 are springs. It is understood that the first elastic element 1233 and the second elastic element 1235 can also be other elastic structures that can realize the solution of this application.

[0037] Specifically, the control element 1232 is located in the middle area of ​​the top of the control structure 123. When the quick-release female seat 130 needs to be installed, the quick-release female seat 130 is placed on the holding assembly 120. The bottom of the quick-release female seat 130 presses against the top of the control element 1232, causing the control element 1232 to move downward until the locking protrusion 1232A of the control element 1232 exits the locking hole 1231A of the abutment block 1231. Then, the abutment block 1231, which is no longer restricted, moves under the elastic action of the two elastic elements, causing the areas on both sides of the abutment block 1231 that abut against the first holding member 121 and the second holding member 122 to change, thereby causing the first holding member 121 and the second holding member 122 to move away from each other, and thus the first holding member 121 and the second holding member 122 achieve the holding and positioning of the quick-release female seat 130. When it is necessary to remove the quick-release female seat 130, push the pusher 1234 so that the abutment block 1231 overcomes the elastic force of the two elastic members and moves in the opposite direction until the locking protrusion 1232A of the abutment block 1231 is aligned with the locking hole 1231A. At this time, the abutment block 1231 releases its abutment against the first retaining member 121 and the second retaining member 122, and the quick-release female seat 130 can be removed. At the same time, the first elastic member 1233 drives the abutment block 1231 to move toward the locking hole so that the locking protrusion 1232A extends into the locking hole 1231A, thereby locking the abutment block 1231 in the current position.

[0038] Furthermore, the abutment block 1231 has a through-hole 1231B in the middle, and the control member 1232 is located at the through-hole 1231B. Thus, the first elastic member 1233 drives the abutment block 1231 to move toward the locking hole, so that when the locking protrusion 1232A extends into the locking hole 1231A, the control member 1232 will not be obstructed or interfered with, but can move up and down at the through-hole 1231B.

[0039] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The holding assembly 120 also includes a third elastic member 125 and a fourth elastic member 126 disposed opposite to each other. One end of the third elastic member 125 abuts against or connects to the side of the first holding member 121 away from the second holding member 122, and the other end of the third elastic member 125 abuts against or connects to the side wall of the receiving groove 111. One end of the fourth elastic member 126 abuts against or connects to the side of the second holding member 122 away from the first holding member 121, and the other end of the fourth elastic member 126 abuts against or connects to the side wall of the receiving groove 111. Specifically, the third elastic element 125 and the fourth elastic element 126 are configured to reset the first retaining element 121 away from the second retaining element 122, thereby releasing the fastening female seat 130. Specifically, when the pushing element 1234 drives the abutment block 1231 to move in the opposite direction to the previous direction against the elastic force of the two elastic elements, until the locking protrusion 1232A of the abutment block 1231 is aligned with the locking hole 1231A, the abutment block 1231 releases its abutment against the first retaining element 121 and the second retaining element 122. The elastic reset of the third elastic element 125 and the fourth elastic element 126 drives the first retaining element 121 and the second retaining element 122 to reset, so that the first retaining element 121 and the second retaining element 122 abut against both sides of the abutment block 1231. At this time, the first retaining element 121 and the second retaining element 122 release their abutment against the fastening female seat 130, and the fastening female seat 130 can be removed.

[0040] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first retaining member 121 has a first retaining portion 1211, and the second retaining member 122 has a second retaining portion 1221. The first retaining portion 1211 and the second retaining portion 1221 are arranged opposite to each other. The quick-release female seat 130 has a first retaining hole 132 and a second retaining hole 133. The control structure 123 is used to drive the retaining member 121 and the second retaining member 122 to move away from each other, so as to retain the first retaining hole 132 and the second retaining hole 133 of the quick-release female seat 130. Specifically, the arrangement of the first retaining portion 1211, the second retaining portion 1221, and the first retaining hole 132 and the second retaining hole 133 makes the retaining of the quick-release female seat 130 by the first retaining member 121 and the second retaining member 122 more reliable and stable.

[0041] The quick-release female connector 130 also has an anti-slip pad 134, which is fitted over the mounting screw 131. When the photographic equipment is threaded onto the mounting screw 131, the anti-slip pad 134 plays a role in preventing slipping and scratching, making the installation of the photographic equipment more stable and reliable.

[0042] The gimbal also includes a mounting connector 400, which is used to mount and fix the end of the connector 240 away from the double-headed bolt. The mounting connector 400 is used to connect to the support structure, the support structure rod or bracket.

Any equivalent device transformations made based on the contents of this utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.

Claims

1. A gimbal, characterized in that, include: A gimbal mount is used to connect devices; A hinge pivot is disposed within the gimbal base. The hinge pivot includes a double-ended bolt, a first nut, a torque adjustment structure, a fixed connector, and a rotating connector. The first nut is threadedly connected to one end of the double-ended bolt. One end of the rotating connector is rotatably sleeved in the middle of the double-ended bolt, and the other end of the rotating connector is fixedly connected to the gimbal base. The torque adjustment structure and the fixed connector are both sleeved in the middle of the double-ended bolt. The torque adjustment structure is used to apply a preset pressure to the rotating connector to lock the angle of the rotating connector relative to the double-ended bolt. The rotating connector can overcome the pressure applied by the torque adjustment structure and rotate relative to the double-ended bolt under the action of external force. The tension knob is threaded to the end of the double-ended bolt away from the first nut. The tension knob is partially exposed on the gimbal base. Rotating the tension knob causes the double-ended bolt and the first nut to move along the axial direction of the double-ended bolt, so that the first nut approaches and presses against the torque adjustment structure and the rotating connector, thereby locking the rotating connector relative to the double-ended bolt.

2. The gimbal as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The hinge shaft also includes a sleeve and a second nut. The sleeve is movably fitted onto the middle of the double-ended bolt. The angle of the sleeve relative to the double-ended bolt is locked. One end of the sleeve abuts against the first nut, and the other end of the sleeve is threadedly connected to the second nut. The rotating connector is rotatably fitted onto the sleeve. The torque adjustment structure and the fixed connector are both fitted onto the sleeve. The torque adjustment structure, the fixed connector, and the rotating connector are located between the first nut and the second nut. Rotating the tightening knob causes the double-ended bolt and the first nut to move along the axial direction of the double-ended bolt, so that the first nut moves closer to the second nut. This causes the first nut and the second nut to press against the torque adjustment structure and the rotating connector, thereby locking the rotating connector relative to the double-ended bolt.

3. The gimbal as described in claim 2, characterized in that, The tightening knob includes a knob head and a rotating post that are fixedly connected. One end of the rotating post abuts against the second nut, and the other end of the rotating post is threadedly connected to the end of the double-ended bolt away from the first nut.

4. The gimbal as described in claim 2, characterized in that, The hinge shaft also includes a stop sleeve fitted over the double-ended bolt. One end of the stop sleeve abuts against the first nut and is threadedly connected to the double-ended bolt, while the other end of the stop sleeve abuts against the rotating connector.

5. The gimbal as described in claim 4, characterized in that, The number of rotating connectors is two, and the two rotating connectors are located on both sides of the fixed connector. The number of torque adjustment structures is the same as the number of rotating connectors, and they correspond one-to-one.

6. The gimbal as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The gimbal base includes a base body, a clamping assembly, and a quick-release female base. The base body has a receiving groove, and the clamping assembly is disposed in the receiving groove. The clamping assembly is used to clamp the quick-release female base or the device. The quick-release female base has mounting screws, and the mounting screws are used to connect the device.

7. The gimbal as described in claim 6, characterized in that, The clamping assembly includes a first clamping member, a second clamping member, and a control structure. The control structure is used to drive the first clamping member and the second clamping member to move away from each other in order to clamp the quick-release female connector or device.

8. The gimbal as described in claim 7, characterized in that, The control structure includes a supporting block, a control member, a first elastic member, a pushing member, and a second elastic member. The supporting block is located between the first and second holding members, and its two sides abut against the first and second holding members respectively. The control member has a locking protrusion, and the supporting block has a locking hole adapted to the locking protrusion. One end of the first elastic member abuts against or connects to the bottom of the control member, and the other end of the first elastic member abuts against or connects to the bottom wall of the receiving groove. One end of the second elastic member abuts against or connects to the supporting block, and the other end of the second elastic member abuts against or connects to the side wall of the receiving groove. Pressing the control member causes the locking protrusion of the control member to disengage from the locking hole. The second elastic member is used to elastically extend when the locking protrusion disengages from the locking hole, thereby moving the abutment block. This causes the areas on both sides of the abutment block that abut against the first and second latching members to change, thereby causing the first and second latching members to move away from each other, and thus locking and positioning the quick-release female seat or device. The first elastic member is used to move the abutment block toward the locking hole when the pusher pushes the abutment block so that the locking protrusion is aligned with the locking hole, so that the locking protrusion extends into the locking hole.
