For the sake of brevity of the disclosure, the components and installations of specific examples have been described above. Needless to say, these are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit this application. Furthermore, for the purposes of simplification and clarity, this application may repeat reference figures and / or reference letters in different examples, and this in itself does not indicate relationships between the various embodiments and / or installations discussed. Also, this application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, however, those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0017] In related technologies, handheld pan / tilt head devices include a display unit fixed to the handle, and the dimensions of the display unit are limited by the lateral dimensional limits of the handle, making it usually impossible to increase its size, which detracts from the user experience.
[0018] Therefore, the handheld tripod head device 100 according to the embodiment of this application includes a handle 11, a display unit 12, and a tripod head 13. The handle 11 is provided with a mounting surface 14, the display unit 12 is mounted on the handle 11, and the display unit 12 has a first state and a second state. The display unit 12 is configured to move so as to be reversibly switched between the first state and the second state. In the first state, the dimension of the display unit 12 along the lateral direction of the handle 11 is smaller than the lateral dimension of the handle 11 in the second state. In both the first and second states, the display surface 15 of the display unit 12 is spaced apart from the mounting surface 14. The tripod head 13 is mounted on the handle 11.
[0019] The lateral direction of the handle 11 refers to the left-right direction when the user grips the handle 11. In Figures 1 and 2, the longitudinal direction of the handle 11 is the D1 direction, and the short direction is the D2 direction. The D2 direction may be the lateral direction of the handle 11, and the D1 direction may be the vertical direction of the handle. The longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is the C1 direction, and the short direction is the C2 direction.
[0020] In this application, "movement" may mean that the entire display unit 12 moves relative to the handle 11, or that a part of the display unit 12 moves relative to the handle 11 and the other part is fixed relative to the handle 11. In the first and second states, the fact that the display surface 15 of the display unit 12 is separated from the mounting surface 14 means that the display surface 15 and the mounting surface 14 are located on opposite sides of the display unit 12 body. In this application, "display surface" means the operating surface of the display unit 12 from which the display screen can be viewed in its operating state.
[0021] In the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 described above, by making the display unit 12 movable, the dimensions of the display unit 12 in the lateral direction of the handle 11 can be changed. This reduces the influence of the handle 11's dimensions on the display unit 12's dimensions, thereby making the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 more compact. Furthermore, it is possible to switch to a larger lateral dimension of the handle 11 as needed, so that more content can be displayed horizontally, or the original small screen width can be expanded to a larger overall display screen width. For example, in the prior art, in order to display more content, the screen is limited by the dimensional limits of the handle and display unit, resulting in a smaller screen size, which makes it difficult for the user to see details. However, in the embodiment of this application, when the display unit 12 is switched to the second state, it can be automatically expanded to the second state that fills the display unit with the screen width. This can be understood as switching from a small horizontal screen to a large horizontal screen, thereby increasing the screen size and allowing the user to see better. Furthermore, in conventional technology, for example, the image range is narrowed and the display content is limited by constraints on the dimensions of the handle and display unit in order to maximize the field of view. In the embodiment of this application, by switching the display unit 12 to a second state, a wider display range in the horizontal direction can be achieved, and more image content in the horizontal direction can be presented, which is advantageous for realizing functions such as horizontal tracking of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100. In addition, because the display unit 12 is movable, the influence of the dimensions of the handle 11 on the dimensions of the display unit 12 can be reduced, thereby allowing the display unit 12 to be made larger, improving the shortcomings of conventional display units, which are small and have weak interactive functions, and improving the user experience. Therefore, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 described above is more flexible and easier to use, allows the user to view more comfortably, and is advantageous for improving the user experience.
[0022] Specifically, the handle 11 may be columnar, and in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the handle 11 is rectangular prism-shaped. In other embodiments, the handle 11 is not limited to a columnar shape and may have other shapes. In one embodiment, the mounting surface 14 may be the side of the handle 11 facing the user.
[0023] The display unit 12 may include, but is not limited to, an OLED display unit, an LCD display unit, and an LED display unit. The display unit 12 may be a touch-enabled or non-touch-enabled display unit 12. The movement method of the display unit 12 may include, but is not limited to, rotation, folding, telescopic shifting, and combinations of the movements described above.
[0024] When the display unit 12 is lit, the display surface 15 of the display unit 12 can display content including, but is not limited to, parameters of the handheld tripod head device 100, images captured by the imaging module 16 on the tripod head 13, virtual buttons, imaging modes, etc. The display unit 12 has a first state and a second state, and the display unit 12 is configured to move so as to switch between the first state and the second state, and the display surface 15 of the display unit 12 is spaced away from the mounting surface 14 in both the first state and the second state. In one embodiment, in both the first state and the second state, the display surface 15 of the display unit 12 faces the user, so that the user can receive the content displayed on the display surface 15 in a timely manner.
[0025] Because the display unit 12 is movable, the influence of the handle 11's dimensions on the display unit 12's dimensions can be reduced. Specifically, in Figure 1, the handle 11 is prismatic, and the display unit 12 is rectangular and can be longer. In the first state, the display unit 12 can be in a vertical screen orientation, with the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 aligned with the longitudinal direction of the handle 11. In this case, the display unit 12 may completely overlap the handle 11, reducing the space occupied by the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, as shown in Figure 1. In the second state, the display unit 12 can be in a horizontal screen orientation, with the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle 11. That is, as shown in Figure 2, the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the lateral direction of the handle 12. As can be seen from this comparison, when switching between the first and second states, the lateral dimensions of the display unit 12 relative to the handle 11 change.
[0026] The tripod head 13 may be mounted on the top of the handle 11. The tripod head 13 includes, but is not limited to, a single-axis tripod head, a double-axis tripod head, or a triple-axis tripod head. An imaging module 16 can be attached to the tripod head 13. The imaging module 16 is electrically coupled to the display unit 12, and the method of electrical coupling may be direct coupling or indirect coupling. Images captured by the imaging module 16 can be displayed on the display unit 12.
[0027] In some embodiments, the pan / tilt head 13 is electrically coupled to the display unit 12, which may be either direct or indirect coupling, thereby allowing the display unit 12 to display parameters of the pan / tilt head 13 or to control the pan / tilt head 13.
[0028] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 has a longitudinal dimension and a shorter longitudinal dimension, and in the first state, the shorter direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the lateral direction of the handle 11, and in the second state, the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the lateral direction of the handle 11. In this way, by providing the display unit 12 to have different longitudinal and longitudinal dimensions, the longitudinal dimension can be designed to be larger, and in the second state, the display unit 12 can display more content or present a larger screen width.
[0029] Specifically, in one embodiment, the display unit 12 is rectangular, and in Figures 1 and 2, the longitudinal dimension of the display unit 12 is along the longitudinal direction C1, and the short dimension is along the short direction C2. In the second state, the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the lateral direction of the handle 11, and the display unit 12 displays more content in the lateral direction of the handle 11. The display unit 12 can be rectangular, elliptical, or any other regular or irregular shape, and is not limited thereto in this application.
[0030] In some embodiments, in the first state, the outer circumference of the display unit 12 is aligned with the outer circumference of the mounting surface 14, or the display unit 12 is located within the mounting surface 14. In the second state, the display unit 12 extends from the mounting surface 14 along both lateral ends of the handle 11. Thus, in the first state, the structure of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 is more compact, and in the second state, the display unit 12 can be expanded to display more content or to exhibit a larger field of view.
[0031] Specifically, in Figure 1, in the first state, the outer circumference of the display unit 12 and the outer circumference of the mounting surface 14 are aligned. In other embodiments, the display unit 12 is located within the mounting surface 14. That is, in the first state, there is no part of the display unit 12 that protrudes from the mounting surface 14, and in the first state, the space occupied by the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 can be reduced.
[0032] In the second state, the display unit 12 extends from the mounting surface 14 along both lateral ends of the handle 11, so that in the second state, the dimension of the display unit 12 along the lateral direction of the handle 11 is larger, and more content can be displayed.
[0033] In some embodiments, in the first state, the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, and in the second state, the angle between the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 and the longitudinal direction of the handle 11 is greater than zero.
[0034] Thus, in the first state, the structure of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 becomes more compact, and in the second state, the display unit 12 can be expanded to display more content or to present a larger field of view.
[0035] Specifically, referring to Figure 1, in the first state, the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, the width of the display unit 12 is approximately the same as the width of the handle 11, the display unit 12 can completely overlap the handle 11, and the display unit 12 is mounted vertically. In other embodiments, the first state is a state in which the display unit 12 has a vertically elongated screen, making the structure of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 more compact and reducing the space occupied by the handheld pan / tilt head device 100. In other embodiments, in the first state, the width of the display unit 12 may be greater than or less than the width of the handle 11.
[0036] Referring to Figure 2, in the second state, the angle between the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 and the longitudinal direction of the handle 11 is 90 degrees. In other words, the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, and the display unit 12 is installed horizontally. That is, the second state is a state in which the display unit 12 has a landscape screen. Compared to a display unit 12 installed vertically, a horizontally installed display unit 12 can widen the viewing angle range, display more content, and enlarge the width of the original vertical screen to fill the converted landscape screen. As a result, users can view the content more clearly and comfortably, which better suits the user's habits of viewing the content displayed on the display unit 12 and improves the user experience.
[0037] In other embodiments, in the second state, the angle between the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 and the longitudinal direction of the handle 11 is not limited to 90 degrees, but may be other sizes such as 30 degrees, 45 degrees, or 60 degrees, and is not particularly limited thereto.
[0038] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 may be rotatably mounted on the mounting surface 14 of the handle 11, folded and mounted on the mounting surface 14 of the handle 11, or retractably mounted on the mounting surface 14 of the handle 11. This allows for flexible movement of the display unit 12.
[0039] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a handle 11, a display unit 12, and a pan / tilt head 13. The handle 11 is provided with a mounting surface 14. The display unit 12 is rotatably mounted on the mounting surface 14 so as to be reversibly switched between a first state and a second state, and the display unit 12 is provided with a display surface 15, the axis of rotation of the display unit 12 is perpendicular to the display surface 15, and in both the first and second states the display surface 15 is spaced apart from the mounting surface 14, and the dimension of the display unit 12 along the lateral direction of the handle 11 in the first state is smaller than the dimension of the display unit 12 along the lateral direction of the handle 11 in the second state. The pan / tilt head 13 is provided on the handle 11.
[0040] In the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 described above, the display unit 12 is rotatably mounted on the mounting surface 14, which reduces the influence of the handle 11's dimensions on the display unit 12's dimensions. This allows for a larger screen width for the display unit 12, more content to be displayed, and an improved user experience.
[0041] Specifically, because the display unit 12 is rotatable, the dimensions of the display unit 12 in the lateral direction of the handle 11 can be changed, thereby reducing the influence of the handle 11's dimensions on the display unit 12's dimensions. This allows the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to be made smaller, and, as needed, can be switched to a larger lateral dimension of the handle 11. Thus, more content can be displayed horizontally, or the original small screen width can be expanded to a larger overall display screen width. For example, in the prior art, displaying more content is limited by the dimensions of the handle and display unit, resulting in a smaller screen size, making it difficult for the user to see details. However, in the embodiment of this application, when the display unit 12 is switched to a second state, the screen size can be automatically expanded to the second state, which makes the display unit full. This can be understood as switching from a small screen width to a large screen width, thereby increasing the screen width and allowing the user to see better. Furthermore, in conventional technology, for example, the imaging range is narrowed and the display content is limited by the dimensional limits of the handle and display unit in order to expand the field of view as much as possible. In the embodiment of this application, by switching the display unit 12 to a second state, a wider display range can be achieved in the horizontal direction, and more imaging content can be presented in the horizontal direction, which is advantageous for realizing functions such as horizontal tracking of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100. In addition, because the display unit 12 is movable, the influence of the dimensions of the handle 11 on the dimensions of the display unit 12 can be reduced, allowing the display unit 12 to be made larger, improving the shortcomings of conventional display units, which are small and have weak interactive functions, and improving the user experience.Therefore, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 described above is more flexible and easier to use, allows the user to view more comfortably, and is advantageous for improving the user experience.
[0042] In Figures 1 and 2, the display unit 12 is a rectangular display unit. In other embodiments, the shape of the display unit 12 is not limited to a rectangle, and may be any other shape, as long as the dimension of the display unit 12 along the lateral direction of the handle 11 in the first state is smaller than the dimension along the lateral direction of the handle 11 in the second state.
[0043] Because the display unit 12 is rotatable, the influence of the dimensions of the handle 11 on the dimensions of the display unit 12 can be reduced. Specifically, in Figure 1, the handle 11 is prismatic, and the display unit 12 is rectangular and can be made longer. In the first state, the width of the display unit 12 is the dimension along the lateral direction of the handle 11. The display unit 12 can be configured to have a vertical screen where the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the handle 11. In this case, as shown in Figure 1, the display unit 12 may completely overlap the handle 11, reducing the space occupied by the handheld pan / tilt head device 100. In the second state, the length of the display unit 12 is the dimension along the lateral direction of the handle 11 in the second state, and the display unit 12 can be configured to have a horizontal screen where the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle 11. That is, as shown in Figure 2, the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the lateral direction of the handle 12. As can be seen from this comparison, when the display unit 12 switches between the first state and the second state, the dimensions of the handle 11 in the lateral direction change.
[0044] Specifically, when the display unit 12 is rotatably mounted on the handle 11, the display unit 12 can swing around one end of the display unit 12, rotate around an intermediate position of the display unit 12, or rotate around components outside the display unit 12, and is not particularly limited thereto. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the rotation of the display unit 12 around an intermediate position of the display unit 12 may be from a first state to a second state, or from a second state to a first state.
[0045] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7, the display unit 12 is rotatably mounted on the handle 11, and the axis of rotation L of the display unit 12 is perpendicular to the display surface 15.
[0046] This makes the movement of the display unit 12 simple.
[0047] Specifically, the rotation axis of the display unit 12 is perpendicular to the display surface 15, and when switching between the first and second states, the display unit 12 only needs to be driven (manually or electrically) to rotate around its rotation axis; no other operations such as reversal are required. The method of moving the display unit 12 is simple, making it very easy for the user to adjust the state of the display unit 12. In both the first and second states, the display surface 15 is separated from the mounting surface 14, and when the power is on, the user can always see the content displayed on the display surface 15, improving the user experience.
[0048] In some embodiments, the movement path of the display unit 12 (if the display unit 12 is rotatably mounted on the mounting surface 14, the movement path is a rotation path) includes a first movement step from a first state to a critical position, and a second movement step from the critical position to a second state. In response to the display unit 12 switching from the first state to the second state, the display unit 12 can automatically reach the second state after passing the critical position, and in response to the display unit 12 switching from the second state to the first state, the display unit 12 can automatically reach the first state after passing the critical position.
[0049] Thus, the movement process of the display unit 12 can be divided into two movement stages.
[0050] Specifically, in one embodiment, during the manual operation to switch the display unit 12 from a first state to a second state, the user switches the display unit 12 from the first state to a critical position, and after the display unit 12 has gone through a first movement stage and reached the critical position, the user can release the display unit 12, and the display unit 12 automatically moves from the critical position to the second state. During the manual operation to switch the display unit 12 from the second state to the first state, the user switches the display unit 12 from the second state to a critical position, and after the display unit 12 has gone through a second movement stage and reached the critical position, the user can release the display unit 12, and the display unit 12 automatically moves from the critical position to the first state. This enables semi-automatic operation of the display unit 12, resulting in reduced manpower, easier operation, and an improved user experience. In the process of an electric operation to switch the display unit 12 from a first state to a second state, the drive device (not shown) can drive the display unit 12 to switch from the first state to a critical position, and after the display unit 12 has gone through a first movement stage and reached the critical position, the drive device can stop driving the display unit 12, and the display unit 12 can automatically move from the critical position to the second state. In the process of an electric operation to switch the display unit 12 from the second state to the first state, the drive device can drive the display unit 12 to switch from the second state to a critical position, and after the display unit 12 has gone through a second movement stage and reached the critical position, the drive device can stop driving the display unit 12, and the display unit 12 can automatically move from the critical position to the first state, saving power and improving the continuous operation capability of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0051] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 is connected to the handle 11 via an adapter structure 18, which allows the display unit 12 to automatically and reversibly reach a first or second state.
[0052] This makes it easier to switch the state of the display unit 12.
[0053] Specifically, the adapter structure 18 can connect the display unit 12 and the handle 11. The adapter structure 18 allows the display unit 12 to automatically and reversibly reach a first or second state; that is, the adapter structure 18 can automatically move the display unit 12 from the second state to the first state, or from the first state to the second state. The switching of the state of the display unit 12 by the adapter structure 18 can be triggered by the user or by the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, and is not specifically limited thereto.
[0054] Referring to Figures 30 and 60, the adapter structure 18 includes a base 19 and a retaining cover 20, the retaining cover 20 includes a fixing plate 21 and a first shaft 22, the first shaft 22 is connected to the fixing plate 21, the fixing plate 21 is fixed within the display unit frame 17, and the first shaft 22 penetrates the display unit frame 17. The base 19 includes a base 23 and a second shaft 24, the base 23 is fixable to the handle 11, the second shaft 24 is connected to the base 23, the second shaft 24 is fitted to the outside of the first shaft 22, and the first shaft 22 and the second shaft 24 are rotatably connected.
[0055] In some embodiments, the adapter structure 18 includes a first member 25 and a second member 26 that engage with each other, the first member 25 being connected to the handle 11 and the second member 26 being connected to the display unit 12, and the direction of the force acting between the first member 25 and the second member 26 is configured to change during the movement process of the display unit 12 such that when the display unit 12 is switched from a first state to a second state, the first member 25 provides motion resistance to the second member 26 in the first movement phase and provides driving force to the second member 26 in the second movement phase, and when the display unit 12 is switched from a second state to a first state, the first member 25 provides motion resistance to the second member 26 in the second movement phase and provides driving force to the first member 26 in the first movement phase.
[0056] In this way, the first member 25 and the second member 26 can control the state switching of the display unit 12.
[0057] Specifically, when the display unit 12 switches from a first state to a second state due to a change in the direction of the force acting between the first member 25 and the second member 26 during the movement process, in the second movement phase, the first member 25 applies a driving force to the second member 26 so that the display unit 12 can automatically reach the second state after passing the critical position. When the display unit 12 switches from the second state to the first state, in the first movement phase, the first member 25 applies a driving force to the second member 26 so that the display unit 12 can automatically reach the first state after passing the critical position.
[0058] In Figures 30 and 60, the first member 25 further includes a base 19, and the second member 26 further includes a retaining cover 20.
[0059] In some embodiments, the force acting between the first member 25 and the second member 26 is a magnetic force.
[0060] This reduces the cost and structural complexity of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0061] Specifically, by utilizing magnetic force as the driving force and motion resistance, and constructing the first member 25 and the second member 26 on the principle that they repel each other with the same magnetic poles and attract each other with opposite magnetic poles, it is possible to switch the force acting between the first member 25 and the second member 26 between driving force and motion resistance without designing a complex structure, and the cost of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 can also be reduced.
[0062] In some embodiments, the first member 25 and the second member 26 are rotatable relative to each other, the first member 25 includes a first magnet 27, and the second member 26 includes a second magnet 28, the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 are positioned opposite each other, a repulsive force is generated between the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28, and the critical position is the angle when the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are aligned in the same straight line.
[0063] In this way, the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 allow the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state or the first state after passing the critical position.
[0064] Specifically, referring to Figures 28 to 29, the critical position is the angle when the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are aligned in the same straight line. At the critical position, the force acting between the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 is radial only. Initially, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are misaligned, and the angle of misalignment is largest. A magnetic field is applied to the magnets along the magnetic field orientation direction, causing the magnets to reach a technical saturation state. This process is called magnetization, and the magnetization direction is the orientation direction described above.
[0065] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 28 to 29, in the first movement stage, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are misaligned, and the first magnet 27 imparts motion resistance or driving force to the second magnet 28. In the second movement stage, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are misaligned, and the first magnet 27 imparts driving force or motion resistance to the second magnet 28.
[0066] In this way, the interaction between the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 can be used to generate a driving force or motion resistance.
[0067] When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, in the first movement phase, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are misaligned, and the repulsive force of the first magnet 27 against the second magnet 28 causes the first magnet 27 to impart motion resistance to the second magnet 28. When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, in the first movement phase, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 is misaligned with the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28, and the repulsive force of the first magnet 27 against the second magnet 28 causes the first magnet 27 to impart driving force to the second magnet 28.
[0068] When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, in the second movement phase, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are misaligned, and the repulsive force of the first magnet 27 against the second magnet 28 causes the first magnet 27 to impart motion resistance to the second magnet 28. When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, in the second movement phase, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are misaligned, and the repulsive force of the first magnet 27 against the second magnet 28 causes the first magnet 27 to impart driving force to the second magnet 28.
[0069] In the first state, as shown in Figure 28, the second magnet 28 is subjected to a repulsive force F from the first magnet 27, and the repulsive force F has repulsive component forces F2 and F1 in the radial and tangential directions of the second magnet 28, respectively, with the tangential component force F1 mainly affecting the rotation of the second magnet 28. When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, that is, when the second magnet 28 rotates from the position corresponding to the first state shown in Figure 28 to the position corresponding to the second state, in the first movement stage, the repulsive component force F1 of the first magnet 27 against the second magnet 28 forms a motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the force acting between the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 is radial. In the second movement phase, after the display unit 12 passes the critical position, as shown in Figure 29, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are again misaligned, and the direction of the repulsive component F1 in the tangential direction changes compared to that in the first movement phase. That is, the direction of the interaction torque between the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 changes, and the repulsive component F1 of the first magnet 27 with respect to the second magnet 28 forms a driving force, thereby allowing the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state.
[0070] In the second state, as shown in Figure 29, the second magnet 28 is subjected to a repulsive force F from the first magnet 27. The repulsive force F has repulsive component forces F2 and F1 in the radial and tangential directions of the second magnet 28, respectively. The repulsive component force F1 in the tangential direction mainly affects the rotation of the second magnet 28, and the repulsive component force F1 in the second state is in the opposite direction to the repulsive component force F1 in the first state, although their magnitudes may be the same. When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, in the second movement stage, the repulsive component force F1 of the first magnet 27 against the second magnet 28 forms motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are aligned in the same straight line, and the force acting between the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 is radial. In the first movement phase, after the display unit 12 passes the critical position, referring to Figure 28, in this case the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are again misaligned, and the direction of the tangential repulsive component force F1 changes compared to that in the second movement phase. That is, the direction of the interaction torque between the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 changes, and the repulsive component force F1 of the first magnet 27 against the second magnet 28 forms a driving force, thereby allowing the display unit 12 to automatically reach the first state. Note that the force bearing analysis shown in Figures 28 and 29 only shows the force bearing situation on one side of the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28, and the other side is also subjected to a similar mutual repulsive torque effect. Note that the direction of force F shown in Figures 28 and 29 only roughly indicates the force bearing angle at this point and is for the purpose of explaining this embodiment, and does not accurately represent the actual force bearing angle at this location.
[0071] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 28 to 29, the first magnet 27 is annular, the second magnet 28 is annular, and either the first magnet 27 is fitted to the outside of the second magnet 28, or the second magnet 28 is fitted to the outside of the first magnet 27.
[0072] In this way, the space utilization rate of the handheld tripod head device 100 can be improved.
[0073] In other embodiments, the connection between the first member 25 and the second member 26 does not necessarily have to be a rotational connection; they can be connected by sliding or other means.
[0074] Specifically, the second magnet 28 is fixed to the display unit 12, the first magnet 27 is fixed to the handle 11, and the display unit 12 can be rotatably connected to the handle 11. In Figure 28, the first magnet 27 is fitted to the outside of the second magnet 28. In other embodiments, the second magnet 28 can be fitted to the outside of the first magnet 27. The mutual fitting of the annular magnets makes full use of the internal space of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, improving space utilization efficiency.
[0075] In Figure 30, the first magnet 27 is provided within the base 23, and the second magnet 28 is provided on the outer circumference of the shaft portion 29 of the display unit frame 17. The shaft portion 29 can be fitted to the outside of the second shaft 24.
[0076] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 30, the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 are positioned at least partially offset in the axial direction of the adapter structure 18.
[0077] In this way, it is ensured that the display unit 12 does not shift in the axial direction during rotation.
[0078] Specifically, the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 are positioned at least partially offset in the axial direction of the adapter structure 18 such that there is a height difference H between the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 in the axial direction of the adapter structure 18, thereby ensuring the generation of an axial repulsive force between the first magnet 27 and the first magnet 27, and guaranteeing that the display unit 12 does not shift in the axial direction during rotation. The specific magnitude of the height difference H can be determined according to actual requirements and is not particularly limited here.
[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 31 to 32, the first member 25 and the second member 26 are rotatable relative to each other, the first member 25 includes a third magnet 30, and the second member 26 includes a fourth magnet 31 positioned opposite the third magnet 30, the critical position being the angle when the magnetization direction of the third magnet 30 and the magnetization direction of the fourth magnet 31 are aligned on the same straight line, the third magnet 30 includes a plurality of third auxiliary magnets 32 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and the fourth magnet 31 includes a plurality of fourth auxiliary magnets 33, the plurality of fourth auxiliary magnets 33 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction.
[0080] In this way, the multiple third auxiliary magnets 32 and the multiple fourth auxiliary magnets 33 allow the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state or the first state after passing the critical position.
[0081] Specifically, the critical position is the angle when the magnetization direction of the third magnet 30 and the magnetization direction of the fourth magnet 31 are on the same straight line. Initially, the magnetization direction of the third magnet 30 and the magnetization direction of the fourth magnet 31 are misaligned; specifically, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 is misaligned with the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33.
[0082] When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, in the first movement stage, the angle between the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 gradually decreases, and the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 forms motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 is aligned in the same line as the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33. In the second movement stage, after the display unit 12 has passed the critical position, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 shift again, and the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 forms a driving force, thereby allowing the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state.
[0083] When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, in the second movement stage, the angle between the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 gradually decreases, and the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 forms motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 is aligned in the same line as the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33. In the first movement stage, after the display unit 12 has passed the critical position, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 become misaligned again, and the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 forms a driving force, thereby allowing the display unit 12 to automatically reach the first state.
[0084] The arrangement of multiple third auxiliary magnets 32 and multiple fourth auxiliary magnets 33 at intervals in the circumferential direction allows for the distribution of the force acting between the third magnet 30 and the fourth magnet 31, resulting in smoother rotation of the display unit 12.
[0085] The magnetization method for the magnets may be multiple single-sided monopole magnets, or two integrated magnetic rings, and the magnetization method is four stages on one side. The magnetic pole angles do not have to be equal, or two on one side. n (n≧2) poles are also acceptable.
[0086] In some embodiments, during the first movement phase, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 is offset from the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33, and the third auxiliary magnet 32 imparts motion resistance or driving force to the fourth auxiliary magnet 33. During the second movement phase, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 are offset, and the third auxiliary magnet 32 imparts driving force or motion resistance to the fourth auxiliary magnet 33.
[0087] In this way, the interaction between the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 can be used to create a driving force or motion resistance.
[0088] When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, in the first movement stage, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 are misaligned, and the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 causes the third auxiliary magnet 32 to impart motion resistance to the fourth auxiliary magnet 33. When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, in the first movement stage, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 are misaligned, and the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 causes the third auxiliary magnet 32 to impart driving force to the fourth auxiliary magnet 33.
[0089] When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, in the second movement phase, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 are misaligned, and the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 causes the third auxiliary magnet 32 to impart motion resistance to the fourth auxiliary magnet 33. When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, in the second movement phase, the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 are misaligned, and the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 causes the third auxiliary magnet 32 to impart driving force to the fourth auxiliary magnet 33.
[0090] In some embodiments, the magnetic pole directions of two adjacent third auxiliary magnets 32 are opposite, and the magnetic pole directions of two adjacent fourth auxiliary magnets 33 are opposite.
[0091] In this way, the first member 25 achieves to impart motion resistance or driving force to the second member 26.
[0092] Specifically, referring to Figures 31 to 32, the multiple fourth auxiliary magnets 33 are located within the space formed by the multiple third auxiliary magnets 32, and each fourth auxiliary magnet 33 includes two magnetic poles, a fourth inner magnetic pole 34 and a fourth outer magnetic pole 35, which are spaced apart in the radial direction of the adapter structure 18. Of the two fourth auxiliary magnets 33 adjacent in the circumferential direction of the adapter structure 18, the fourth inner magnetic pole 34 of one fourth auxiliary magnet 33 is in the opposite direction to the fourth inner magnetic pole 34 of the other fourth auxiliary magnet 33, and the fourth outer magnetic pole 35 of one fourth auxiliary magnet 33 is in the opposite direction to the fourth outer magnetic pole 35 of the other fourth auxiliary magnet 33.
[0093] The third auxiliary magnet 32 includes two magnetic poles, a third inner magnetic pole 36 and a third outer magnetic pole 37, which are spaced apart in the radial direction of the adapter structure 18. Of the two third auxiliary magnets 32 adjacent in the circumferential direction of the adapter structure 18, the third inner magnetic pole 36 of one third auxiliary magnet 32 is in the opposite direction to the third inner magnetic pole 36 of the other third auxiliary magnet 32, and the third outer magnetic pole 37 of one third auxiliary magnet 32 is in the opposite direction to the third outer magnetic pole 37 of the other third auxiliary magnet 32.
[0094] In the process in which the display unit 12 rotates 90 degrees clockwise from the position shown in Figure 31 (e.g., the first state) to the position shown in Figure 32 (e.g., the second state) (the fourth magnet 31 also rotates 90 degrees clockwise), in the first movement stage, the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 forms motion resistance. When the magnetization direction of the third auxiliary magnet 32 and the magnetization direction of the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 are on the same straight line, the display unit 12 reaches a critical position. After passing the critical position, in the second movement stage, the repulsive force of the third auxiliary magnet 32 against the fourth auxiliary magnet 33 forms a driving force, and the display unit 12 can automatically reach the second state. As an example, Figures 31 and 32 show the magnetic pole directions of the fourth inner magnetic pole 34, the fourth outer magnetic pole 35, the third inner magnetic pole 36, and the third outer magnetic pole 37.
[0095] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 33 to 34, the first member 25 and the second member 26 are rotatable relative to each other, with an annular magnet 38 provided on one of the first member 25 and the second member 26, and a yoke pair 39 provided on the other, the yoke pair 39 being located outside the magnet along the circumferential direction of the adapter structure 18.
[0096] In this way, the interaction between the annular magnet 38 and the yoke 40 allows the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second or first state after passing the critical position.
[0097] Specifically, in the embodiment shown in Figure 33, a yoke pair 39 is provided on the first member 25, and an annular magnet 38 is provided on the second member 26. In other embodiments, the yoke pair 39 is provided on the second member 26, and the annular magnet 38 is provided on the first member 25.
[0098] In some embodiments, the yoke pair 39 includes two yokes 40, each yoke 40 having one pole piece 41 at each end, where the two pole pieces 41 in one yoke 40 correspond to a first state and a second state, respectively, and the critical position is an intermediate angle between the first state and the second state.
[0099] Referring to Figure 33, the two pole pieces 41 are located at the circumferential ends of the adapter structure 18 of the yoke 40, the two yokes 40 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the adapter structure 18, and the annular magnet 38 is located in the space enclosed by the two yokes 40.
[0100] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 33 to 34, the yoke 40 has pole pieces 41A and 41B. Initially, the display unit 12 is in a first state, and the magnetization direction of the annular magnet 38 is aligned with the pole piece 41A of one of the yokes 40. When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state (clockwise direction in Figure 31) to the second state, in the first movement stage, the attractive force of pole piece 41A of the yoke 40 on the annular magnet 38 becomes the motion resistance, and the attractive force of pole piece 41B of the yoke 40 on the annular magnet 38 becomes the driving force. However, because pole piece 41A is closer to the magnetization direction of the annular magnet 38, the attractive force of pole piece 41A on the annular magnet 38 is greater than the attractive force of pole piece 41B on the annular magnet 38, and the force acting on the annular magnet 38 by the yoke pair 39 is motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the magnetization direction of the annular magnet 38 is an intermediate angle between the first and second states. In the second movement phase, after the display unit 12 has passed the critical position, the magnetization direction of the annular magnet 38 is closer to pole piece 41B than to pole piece 41A, and the force acting on the annular magnet 38 by the yoke pair 39 becomes the driving force, allowing the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state, as shown in Figure 34.
[0101] When the display unit 12 switches from the second state (counterclockwise direction in Figure 34) to the first state, in the second movement stage, the attractive force of the pole piece 41B of the yoke 40 on the annular magnet 38 becomes the motion resistance, and the attractive force of the pole piece 41A of the yoke 40 on the annular magnet 38 becomes the driving force. However, because the pole piece 41B is closer to the magnetization direction of the annular magnet 38, the attractive force of the pole piece 41B on the annular magnet 38 is greater than the attractive force of the pole piece 41A on the annular magnet 38, and the force acting of the yoke pair 39 on the annular magnet 38 is motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the magnetization direction of the annular magnet 38 is an intermediate angle between the first state and the second state. In the first movement phase, after the display unit 12 passes the critical position, the magnetization direction of the annular magnet 38 is closer to pole piece 41A than to pole piece 41B, and the force acting on the annular magnet 38 by the yoke pair 39 becomes the driving force, allowing the display unit 12 to automatically reach the first state, as shown in Figure 33.
[0102] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 35 to 36, the first member 25 and the second member 26 are rotatable relative to each other, with a fifth magnet 42 provided on one of the first member 25 or the second member 26, and a sixth magnet 43 located at both ends of the movement path on the other, so that an attractive force is generated between the fifth magnet 42 and the sixth magnet 43.
[0103] In this way, the interaction between the fifth magnet 42 and the sixth magnet 43 allows the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second or first state after passing the critical position.
[0104] Specifically, in the embodiment shown in Figure 35, the second member 26 is provided with a fifth magnet 42, and the first member 25 is provided with two sixth magnets 43. In other embodiments, the first member 25 is provided with a fifth magnet 42, and the second member 26 is provided with two sixth magnets 43.
[0105] The two sixth magnets 43 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the adapter structure 18, and the two sixth magnets 43 correspond to the first state and the second state, respectively, with the critical position being an intermediate angle between the first state and the second state.
[0106] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 35 and 36, initially the display unit 12 is in the first state, the fifth magnet 42 is aligned with the sixth magnet 43C, and the fifth magnet 42 and the sixth magnet 43D are attracted to each other. When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state (clockwise direction in Figure 35) to the second state, in the first movement stage, the attractive force of the sixth magnet 43C on the fifth magnet 43 becomes the motion resistance, and the attractive force of the sixth magnet 43D on the fifth magnet 42 becomes the driving force. However, since the sixth magnet 43C is closer to the fifth magnet 42, the attractive force of the sixth magnet 43C on the fifth magnet 42 is greater than the attractive force of the sixth magnet 43D on the fifth magnet 42, and the force acting of the first member 25 on the second member 26 is motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the magnetization direction of the fifth magnet 42 is an intermediate angle between the first state and the second state. In the second movement phase, after the display unit 12 passes the critical position, the fifth magnet 42 is closer to the sixth magnet 43D than the sixth magnet 43C, and the force acting on the second member 26 by the first member 25 is the driving force, allowing the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state, as shown in Figure 36.
[0107] When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state (counterclockwise direction in Figure 36) to the first state, in the second movement stage, the attractive force of the sixth magnet 43D on the fifth magnet 42 becomes the motion resistance, and the attractive force of the sixth magnet 43C on the fifth magnet 42 becomes the driving force. However, since the sixth magnet 43D is closer to the fifth magnet 42, the attractive force of the sixth magnet 43D on the fifth magnet 42 is greater than the attractive force of the sixth magnet 43C on the fifth magnet 42, and the force acting of the first member 25 on the second member 26 is motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the magnetization direction of the fifth magnet 42 is an intermediate angle between the first state and the second state. In the first movement phase, after the display unit 12 passes the critical position, the fifth magnet 42 is closer to the sixth magnet 43C than the sixth magnet 43D, and the force acting on the second member 26 by the first member 25 is the driving force, allowing the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state, as shown in Figure 35.
[0108] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 37 to 38, the first member 25 and the second member 26 are rotatable relative to each other, and a seventh magnet 44 is provided on one of the first member 25 or the second member 26, while the other is provided with yokes 40 located at both ends of the movement path, and the seventh magnet 44 generates an attractive force on the yokes 40.
[0109] In this way, the interaction between the seventh magnet 44 and the yoke 40 allows the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second or first state after passing the critical position.
[0110] Specifically, in the embodiment shown in Figure 37, two yokes 40 are provided on the first member 25, and a seventh magnet 44 is provided on the second member 26. In other embodiments, two yokes 40 are provided on the second member 26, and a seventh magnet 44 is provided on the first member 25. The seventh magnet 44 is located within the space enclosed by the two yokes 40.
[0111] The two yokes 40 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the adapter structure 18, and the two yokes 40 correspond to the first state and the second state, respectively, with the critical position being an intermediate angle between the first state and the second state.
[0112] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 37 and 38, initially the display unit 12 is in the first state, the seventh magnet 44 is aligned with the yoke 40E, and the seventh magnet 44 and the yoke 40E are attracted to each other. When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state (clockwise direction in Figure 37) to the second state, in the first movement stage, the attractive force on the seventh magnet 44 by the yoke 40E becomes the motion resistance, and the attractive force on the seventh magnet 44 by the yoke 40F becomes the driving force. However, because the yoke 40E is closer to the seventh magnet 44, the attractive force on the seventh magnet 44 by the yoke 40E is greater than the attractive force on the seventh magnet 44 by the yoke 40F, and the force acting of the first member 25 on the second member 26 is motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the magnetization direction of the seventh magnet 44 is an intermediate angle between the first state and the second state. In the second movement phase, after the display unit 12 passes the critical position, the seventh magnet 44 is closer to the yoke 40F than the yoke 40E, and the force acting on the second member 26 by the first member 25 is the driving force, which allows the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state, as shown in Figure 38.
[0113] When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state (counterclockwise direction in Figure 38) to the first state, in the second movement stage, the attractive force on the seventh magnet 44 by the yoke 40F becomes the motion resistance, and the attractive force on the seventh magnet 44 by the yoke 40E becomes the driving force. However, since the yoke 40F is closer to the seventh magnet 44, the attractive force on the seventh magnet 44 by the yoke 40F is greater than the attractive force on the seventh magnet 44 by the yoke 40E, and the force acting of the first member 25 on the second member 26 is motion resistance. When the display unit 12 is in the critical position, the magnetization direction of the seventh magnet 44 is an intermediate angle between the first and second states. In the first movement stage, after the display unit 12 has passed the critical position, the seventh magnet 44 is closer to the yoke 40E than to the yoke 40F, and the force acting of the first member 25 on the second member 26 is the driving force, allowing the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state, as shown in Figure 37.
[0114] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 39 and 58, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 is provided with limiting structures 45 located at both ends of the movement stroke (if the display unit 12 is rotatably mounted on the handle 11, the movement stroke is i.e., the rotation stroke).
[0115] In this way, the movement path of the display unit 12 can be restricted.
[0116] Specifically, when the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, the display unit 12 moves from one end of the movement path to the other end of the movement path, and is restricted by the limiting structure 45 at the other end. This ensures that the display unit 12 is positioned and held in place once it has moved to a predetermined position, thus avoiding offset.
[0117] When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, the display unit 12 moves from the other end of the movement path to one end of the movement path, and is restricted by the limiting structure 45 at this one end, thereby achieving positioning and holding when the display unit 12 moves to a predetermined position and avoiding offset.
[0118] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 39 and 58, a first guide portion 46 is provided on the handle 11 or the first member 25, and a second guide portion 47 is provided on the display unit 12 or the second member 26, and the first guide portion 46 and the second guide portion 47 are guide-engaged, and the limiting structure 45 includes limiting portions located at both ends of the first guide portion 46 or the second guide portion 47.
[0119] In this way, the limiting sections in the first guide section 46 and the second guide section 47 can restrict the display unit 12.
[0120] Specifically, in one embodiment, a first guide portion 46 is provided on the handle 11, and a second guide portion 47 is provided on the display unit 12. The first guide portion 46 includes a stroke guide groove 48 provided on the mounting surface 14, and the second guide portion 47 is a bump provided on the fixing plate. The second guide portion 47 penetrates the display unit frame 17 and is placed in the stroke guide groove 48 which extends circumferentially in the adapter structure. The stroke guide groove 48 limits the movement stroke of the display unit, and limiting portions are formed at both ends of the stroke guide groove 48.
[0121] Unlike many of the embodiments of magnetic interaction described above, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 40, the first member 25 includes an expandable member 50, and is configured to compress the expandable member 50 when the second member 26 is driven by an external force during the movement of the display unit 12, and after passing a critical position, when the external force disappears, the expandable member 50 is configured to automatically spring back and extend, thereby driving the second member 26.
[0122] In this way, the state of the display unit 12 can be switched by changing the direction of the force applied by the expandable member 50 to the second member 26.
[0123] The direction of the force applied by the expandable member 50 to the second member 26 changes during the movement process of the display unit 12, such that when the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, the expandable member 50 applies motion resistance to the second member 26 in the first movement stage and applies a driving force to the second member 26 in the second movement stage, and when the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, the expandable member 50 applies motion resistance to the second member 26 in the second movement stage and applies a driving force to the second member 26 in the first movement stage.
[0124] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 40 to 42, the first member 25 and the second member 26 are rotatable relative to each other, and the second member 26 is provided with a projection 51 having a first side 52 and a second side 53 located on both sides of its apex, and the telescopic member 50 is provided with a telescopic portion 54, and in the first movement stage, the first side 52 contacts the telescopic portion 54, and the second member 26 compresses the telescopic portion 54 during the rotation process, and in the second movement stage, the second side 53 contacts the telescopic portion 54, and the telescopic portion 54 rotates the second member 26 due to the action of a repulsive force.
[0125] In this way, the interaction between the extendable portion 54 and the projection 51 allows the state of the display unit 12 to be switched.
[0126] Specifically, the projection 51 may be an arc-shaped projection or a conical projection, and the projection 51 is provided with a first side 52 and a second side 53 on both sides of the apex of the projection 51. The critical position may be the position where the expandable portion 54 reaches the apex of the projection 51.
[0127] In the first movement phase, the first side 52 contacts the telescopic portion 54, and in the first movement phase in which the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, the projection 51 gradually compresses the telescopic portion 54, causing the telescopic portion 54 to gradually contract into the telescopic member 50, the pressure (acting force) that the telescopic portion 54 applies to the projection 51 gradually increases, and the first member 25 applies motion resistance to the second member 26. After the display unit 12 passes the critical position, in the second movement phase, the second side 53 contacts the telescopic portion 54, and the telescopic portion 54 protrudes out of the telescopic member 50 due to the action of the repulsive force, rotating the second member 26, and as a result, the display unit 12 automatically reaches the second state.
[0128] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 40 to 42, the direction of expansion and contraction of the expandable portion 54 is the radial direction A1 of the adapter structure 18.
[0129] In this way, the state of the display unit 12 can be switched by the force applied by the adapter means 18 in the radial direction A1.
[0130] Specifically, the extension and retraction direction of the extendable portion 54 is the radial direction A1 of the adapter structure 18, the rotation axis of the display unit 12 is along the axial direction A1 of the adapter structure 18, the direction of the force applied by the extendable portion 54 to the projection 51 is always directed in the direction of the rotation axis of the display unit 12, and the state of the display unit 12 can be switched by the force applied by the extendable portion 54 to the projection 51 in the radial direction A1 of the adapter structure 18.
[0131] In some embodiments, the expandable member 50 includes an expandable portion 54 and an elastic member (not shown), the expandable portion 54 being connected to the elastic member, and the elastic member being used to provide a repulsive force to the expandable portion 54 in the radial direction of the adapter structure 18.
[0132] In this way, an elastic member can be used to provide the expandable portion 54 with a radial repulsive force from the adapter structure 18.
[0133] Specifically, the expandable member 50 further includes a sleeve 55 having one end open and the other end closed, with one end of the expandable portion 54 and the elastic member housed within the sleeve 55, one end of the elastic member abutting against the inner wall of the closed end of the sleeve 55, the expandable portion 54 piercing the open end of the sleeve 55, and the other end of the expandable portion 54 being able to contact the projection 51. The longitudinal direction of the elastic member is aligned with the radial direction of the adapter structure 18, thereby allowing the elastic member to provide a repulsive force to the expandable portion 54 in the radial direction of the adapter structure 18. In one embodiment, the elastic member may include a spring.
[0134] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 40 to 42, the second member 26 includes a cam 56, which includes a mounting portion 57, a projection 51 provided on the mounting portion 57, and two limiting portions 58, the mounting portion 57 being rotatably connected to the first member 25, the first member 25 being provided with a limiting member 59 located between the two limiting portions 58 to limit the rotational stroke of the second member 26.
[0135] In this way, the cam 56 and the limiting member 59 enable the limitation of the movement path of the display unit 12 and the switching of the state of the display unit 12.
[0136] Specifically, as shown in Figure 40, the projection 51 and the two limiting portions 58 are provided on the side wall of the mounting portion 57 along the circumferential direction of the mounting portion 57, the adapter structure 18 includes an annular base 23, and the limiting member 59 is provided on the inner wall of the base 23. The limiting member 59 and the projection 51 are located on opposite sides of the line connecting the two limiting portions 58, respectively.
[0137] In the first state, one of the restricting parts 58 and the restricting member 59 engage to limit the display unit 12 to one end of its movement path, and the telescopic part 54 contacts the first side 52, as shown in Figure 40. When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, the cam 56 rotates clockwise, and in the first movement stage, the position of the telescopic part 54 that contacts the first side surface 52 approaches the apex of the projection 51. When the telescopic part 54 reaches the apex of the projection 51, the display unit 12 is in a critical position, as shown in Figure 41. After the display unit 12 has passed the critical position, in the second movement stage, as shown in Figure 42, the telescopic part 54 contacts the second side 53, and the telescopic part 54 drives the cam 56 to continue rotating clockwise due to the action of a repulsive force. When the other restricting part 58 engages with the restricting member 59, the display unit 12 reaches the other end of its movement path, that is, the display unit 12 is switched to the second state.
[0138] In some embodiments, the extension and retraction direction of the extendable portion 54 is the axial direction A2 of the adapter structure 18.
[0139] This allows the state of the display unit 12 to be switched by the force acting on the adapter structure 18 in the axial direction A2.
[0140] Specifically, the extension and retraction direction of the extendable portion 54 is the axial direction A2 of the adapter structure 18, and the direction of the force applied by the extendable portion 54 to the projection 51 is always along the rotation axis T of the display unit 12. The state of the display unit 12 can be switched by the force applied by the extendable portion 54 to the projection 51 in the axial direction A2 of the adapter structure 18.
[0141] In some embodiments, the second member 26 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 51, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the second member 26, and the expandable member 50 is provided with a plurality of expandable portions 54, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the expandable member 50, and the expandable portions 54 engage with the protrusions 51 on a one-to-one basis.
[0142] In this way, the engagement of multiple telescopic sections 54 and multiple protrusions 51 on a one-to-one basis enables the switching of the state of the display unit 12 along the axial direction of the adapter structure 18.
[0143] Specifically, the telescopic portion 54 may be located below or above the projection 51 along the axial direction of the adapter structure 18, but is not particularly limited thereto.
[0144] In some embodiments, the first member 25 includes a first uneven structure 60 and an elastic member 61, the second member 26 includes a second uneven structure 62, the first uneven structure 60 and the second uneven structure 62 are installed opposite each other along the axial direction of the adapter structure 18, the elastic member 61 is used to provide a repulsive force to the first uneven structure 60 in the axial direction of the adapter structure 18, the first uneven structure 60 is an expandable member 50, the protrusions of the first uneven structure 60 are expandable portions 54, and the second uneven structure 62 is provided with projections 51.
[0145] In this way, the state of the display unit 12 can be switched using the first uneven structure 60 and the second uneven structure 62.
[0146] Specifically, referring to Figure 43, the adapter structure 18 includes a base 23 having a second shaft 22 in the middle. The second convex-concave structure 62 is connected to the shaft portion 29. The second convex-concave structure 62 and the first convex-concave structure 60 can be fitted onto the second shaft 24. Along the axial direction A2 of the adapter structure 18, the second convex-concave structure 62 is located above the first convex-concave structure 60, and the elastic member 61 is located below the first convex-concave structure 60. The elastic member 61 abuts the first convex-concave structure 60 in an upward direction, thereby causing the projection 51 (extendable portion 54) of the first convex-concave structure 60 to apply a uniform force to the projection 51 of the second convex-concave structure 62. In one embodiment, the elastic member 61 is a corrugated spring, the second convex-concave structure 62 includes a cam rotor, and the first convex-concave structure 60 includes a cam stator.
[0147] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 18 to 19, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes an operating module 63 movably mounted on the handle 11, the operating module 63 being configured to drive the movement of the display unit 12 to switch between a first state and a second state during movement.
[0148] In this way, the state of the display unit 12 can be switched by moving the operation module 63.
[0149] Specifically, the operation module 63 may include, but is not limited to, operating components 78 such as keys, knobs, and touchscreens. The user can send commands to the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 via the operation module 63. When the operation module 63 is moved, the display unit 12 can be moved to switch states, and the relative position between the operation module 63 and the display unit 12 can be adjusted to match the state of the display unit 12.
[0150] The movement method of the operation module 63 may be rotation, shifting, or a combination of rotation and shifting, and may differ from the movement method of the display unit 12; it is not particularly limited here.
[0151] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 to 51, the display unit 12 is configured to rotate relative to the handle 11, and the display unit 12 and the operating module 63 are connected via linkage means 64.
[0152] In this way, the linkage means 64 allows the display unit 12 to move when the operation module 63 is moved.
[0153] Specifically, the linkage means 64 includes a connecting plate 65 and a trajectory plate 66. The display unit 12 is connected to the connecting plate 65, a first guide post 67 is provided on the connecting plate 65, and a limiting guide groove 68 is provided on the trajectory plate 66. The first guide post 67 is at least partially located within the limiting guide groove 68, and as the operating module 63 moves along the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, the movement of the first guide post 67 within the limiting guide groove 68 causes the connecting plate 65 to rotate relative to the trajectory plate 66. The limiting guide groove 68 guides the movement of the first guide post 67 and can limit the trajectory of the first guide post 67, making the movement of the operating module 63 and the display unit 12 more stable. The trajectory plate 66 may be provided on the handle 11. The trajectory plate 66 may be fixed within the handle 11. The connecting plate 65 can be fixedly connected to the display unit frame 17.
[0154] Furthermore, the linkage means 64 further includes a crank 69 and a transmission structure 70, the crank 69 being rotatably connected to a connecting plate 65 and connected to an operating module 63 by the transmission structure 70, and when the operating module 63 moves along the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, the transmission structure 70 drives the crank 69 and the connecting plate 65 to rotate relative to the trajectory plate 66. This allows the display unit 12 to move and switch states when the operating module 63 moves. Specifically, one end of the crank 69 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 65, and the other end is fixedly connected to the transmission structure 70.
[0155] Preferably, the trajectory plate 66 is further provided with a trajectory groove 71, and the connecting plate 65 is also provided with a second guide post 72 that penetrates the trajectory groove 71 and is rotatably connected to the crank 69. This further improves the motion stability of the operation module 63 and the display unit 12.
[0156] In Figures 49 to 50, the limiting guide groove 68 is located above the trajectory groove 71. Referring to Figures 18 and 49, as the operating module 63 moves upward along the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, the second guide post 72 moves counterclockwise within the trajectory groove 71. The movement of the second guide post 72 drives the connecting plate 65 and the display unit 12 to rotate around the end connected to the transmission structure of the crank 69. Simultaneously, the connection point between the second guide post 72 and the crank 69 moves upward, driving the connecting plate 65 to move the first guide post 67 upward within the limiting guide groove 68. The display unit 12 also moves upward according to the connecting plate 65, thereby enabling the display unit 12 to move upward while rotating.
[0157] In some embodiments, the transmission structure 70 includes a gear 73 and a rack 74, the rack 74 connecting the operating module 63 to the gear 73, and the gear 73 being connected to a crank 69. Thus, the transmission structure 70 is simple and the transmission is stable.
[0158] Specifically, the longitudinal direction of the rack 74 can be aligned with the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, and the rack 74 meshes with the gear 73. The gear 73 is fixedly connected to one end of the crank 69, and the other end of the crank 69 can be rotatably connected to the second guide post 72. Referring to Figures 18 and 49, initially the display unit 12 is in the first state, the operating module 63 is located below the display unit 12, and the second guide post 72 is located at the right end of the track groove 71. When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, the operating module 63 moves upward along the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, the operating module 63 moves the rack 74 upward, the rack 74 rotates the gear 73 counterclockwise, the crank 69 rotates counterclockwise, the second guide post 72 rotates counterclockwise within the track groove 71, and rotates and moves the display unit 12 upward until the second guide post 72 moves to the left end of the track groove 71, at which point the display unit 12 reaches the second state, as shown in Figures 19 and 50.
[0159] When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, the operating module 63 moves downward along the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, the operating module 63 moves the rack 74 downward, the rack 74 rotates the gear 73 clockwise, and further rotates the crank 69 clockwise, driving the second guide post 72 to rotate clockwise within the track groove 71, rotating and moving the display unit 12 downward until the second guide post 72 reaches the right end of the track groove 71, and the display unit 12 reaches the first state.
[0160] In some embodiments, the operating module 63 is configured to be connected to the link means 64 via the transmission structure 70, thereby preventing physical interference between the display unit 12 and the operating module 63 during the interlocking process. Specifically, the rotation of the display unit 12 is not interfered with during the movement of the operating module 63, thus ensuring that the movements of the display unit 12 and the operating module 63 do not interfere with each other during the interlocking process.
[0161] Specifically, by setting parameters for components such as the arc length and arc angle of the trajectory groove 71, the arc length and arc angle of the limiting guide groove, the length of the gear 73 and rack 74, and the length of the crank 69, it is possible to prevent physical interference from occurring during the process in which the display unit 12 and the operation module 63 work together.
[0162] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a holder 76 rotatably mounted on a handle 11, a display unit 12 mounted on the outer wall of the holder 76, the holder 76 being configured to rotate the display unit 12 between a first state and a second state, the holder 76 being provided with a housing groove 77, the handle 11 being located inside the housing groove 77 in the first state and outside the housing groove 77 in the second state.
[0163] In this way, the holder 76 allows the state switching of the display unit 12 to be synchronized.
[0164] In particular, one end of the holder 76 can be rotatably connected to the handle 11. In the first state, the handle 11 is located in the housing groove 77, and the handle 11 is neat as a whole, with the longitudinal direction of the handle 11 aligned with the longitudinal direction of the holder 76, as shown in Figure 20. In the second state, the longitudinal direction of the handle 11 and the longitudinal direction of the holder 76 form a non-zero angle, and as shown in Figure 21, the angle between the longitudinal direction of the handle 11 and the longitudinal direction of the holder 76 is 90 degrees. The display unit 12 is provided on the outer wall of the holder 76, and the state of the display unit 12 can be switched by rotating the holder 76. The longitudinal direction of the handle 11 can form an angle of 180 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction of the holder 76, as shown in Figure 22. The tripod head 13 can be housed in the housing groove 77 to protect the tripod head 13. At this time, the position of the tripod head 13 can be the position of the tripod head 13 in the stored state.
[0165] When the angle between the longitudinal direction of the handle 11 and the longitudinal direction of the holder 76 is 180 degrees, the tripod head 13 can be housed in the housing groove 77, and the holder 76 can protect the tripod head 13.
[0166] Preferably, the receiving groove 77 is substantially U-shaped.
[0167] In some embodiments, the holder 76 is also provided with an operating member 78, which is located on the same outer wall as the display unit 12 and the holder 76. This allows the user to easily operate the operating member 78.
[0168] Specifically, the operating member 78 is located on the same outer wall as the display unit 12 and the holder 76, and the relative position between the operating member 78 and the display unit 12 does not change. Therefore, whether the display unit 12 is in the first state or the second state, or when switching between the first and second states, the relative position between the operating member 78 and the display unit 12 does not change, allowing the user to easily operate the operating member 78.
[0169] In some embodiments, the pan / tilt head 13 includes a first axis assembly 79, a second axis assembly 80, and a third axis assembly 81 connected in sequence, the first axis assembly 79 being connected to the load and the third axis assembly 81 being connected to the handle 11. The first axis assembly 79, the second axis assembly 80, and the third axis assembly 81 adjust the angle of the imaging module 16. Referring to Figures 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, the first axis assembly 79 is the roll axis assembly, the second axis assembly 80 is the pitch axis assembly, and the third axis assembly 81 is the yaw axis assembly. Alternatively, referring to Figures 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, the first axis assembly 79 is the roll axis assembly, the second axis assembly 80 is the yaw axis assembly, and the third axis assembly 81 is the pitch axis assembly. Or, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the first axis assembly 79 is the pitch axis assembly, the second axis assembly 80 is the roll axis assembly, and the third axis assembly 81 is the yaw axis assembly. In this way, the three-axis pan / tilt head 13 can be realized.
[0170] Specifically, in one embodiment, the load may be the imaging module 16.
[0171] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the pan / tilt head 13 includes, in order from the load toward the handle 11, a pitch axis assembly, a roll axis assembly, and a yaw axis assembly, and the pan / tilt head 13 is connected to the handle 11 via the yaw axis assembly.

Here, the pan / tilt heads in Figures 12 to 15 are offset pan / tilt heads. The pan / tilt heads in Figures 16 to 17 are folding pan / tilt heads.
[0174] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 has at least one of the following functions: control of the imaging mode of the handheld tripod head device 100; control of the operating parameters of the handheld tripod head device 100 (including, in the description, the operating parameters of the tripod head 13, the operating parameters of the handle 11, and parameters of other external devices); display of the operating parameters of the handheld tripod head device 100 (including, in the description, the operating parameters of the tripod head 13, the operating parameters of the handle 11, and parameters of other external devices); and display of the imaging screen of the tripod head 13.
[0175] In this way, the state switching of the display unit 12 can trigger at least one of the above-mentioned functions to improve the user experience.
[0176] Specifically, the state switching of the display unit 12 may be linked to at least one of the functions described above. The handheld tripod head device 100 may include a controller, and by providing corresponding trigger members at positions corresponding to the first and second states of the display unit 12, when the display unit 12 is in the first state, the display unit 12 triggers one trigger member to generate a first electrical signal, and the controller controls the handheld tripod head device 100 to realize at least one of the functions described above by the first electrical signal. When the display unit 12 is in the second state, the display unit 12 triggers another trigger member to generate a second electrical signal, and the controller controls the handheld tripod head device 100 to realize at least one of the functions described above by the second electrical signal. The controller may be provided on the handle 11 or the tripod head 13. Alternatively, the controller may include a plurality of control members, one or more of which are located on the handle 11 and one or more of which are located on the tripod head 13.
[0177] In one embodiment, the operating parameters of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 include, but are not limited to, the operating parameters of the pan / tilt head 13, the operating parameters of the handle 11, or parameters of other external devices. During the process in which the display unit 12 switches between a first state and a second state, the controller can acquire the movement position (e.g., rotation angle) of the display unit 12 in real time using a sensor, and control the adjustment of parameters according to the rotation angle. For example, during the process in which the display unit 12 switches from a first state to a second state, it is possible to make the numerical value of the parameter increase as the rotation angle of the display unit 12 increases. Also, for example, when the display unit 12 switches from a first state to a second state, it is possible to select one of two parameters.
[0178] In one embodiment, the operating parameters of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 include, but are not limited to, the operating parameters of the pan / tilt head 13, the operating parameters of the handle 11, and the parameters of other external devices. The display unit 12 can display the operating parameters of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, thereby allowing the user to grasp the operating status of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 in a timely manner.
[0179] In one embodiment, the display unit 12 can display the image capture screen of the tripod head 13, thereby making it easier for the user to view the image capture screen of the tripod head 13, allowing them to adjust the posture of the tripod head 13 in a timely manner and improving the user experience.
[0180] In one embodiment, the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 can include a first imaging mode, which may be a vertical shooting mode, and a second imaging mode, which may be a horizontal shooting mode. In vertical shooting mode, the imaging screen displayed on the display unit 12 is a vertically oriented screen. In horizontal shooting mode, the imaging screen displayed on the display unit 12 is a horizontally oriented screen. The first imaging mode and the second imaging mode can be linked to a first state and a second state.
[0181] In some embodiments, the handle 11 is provided with a joystick, which is configured to accept commands to perform at least one of the following functions: rotation control of the pan / tilt head 13, switching between different photographs on the display unit 12, and switching the imaging mode of the pan / tilt head 13.
[0182] In this way, the joystick allows the user to easily operate the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0183] Specifically, in one embodiment, the operating member 78 may include a joystick. The joystick can perform functions such as up, down, left, right, up-left, up-right, down-left, down-right, and downward pressing. When the user operates the system, they can operate the joystick with their thumb, for example, by controlling the direction of the joystick to control the rotation of the pan / tilt head 13, by controlling the direction of the joystick to control the switching of different photos on the display unit 12, or by controlling the direction of the joystick to control the switching of the imaging mode of the pan / tilt head 13. The imaging modes of the pan / tilt head 13 include a horizontal shooting mode and a vertical shooting mode.
[0184] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 44, 52 to 55, the display unit 12 is connected to the handle 11 by an adapter structure 18, the adapter structure 18 includes a rotating shaft 82, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 includes a flexible cable 83, a circuit board 84 is provided inside the handle 11, the flexible cable 83 passes through the rotating shaft 82 and is connected to the display unit 12 and the circuit board 84, the flexible cable 83 includes a first end member 85, a connecting member 86 and a second end member 87, the connecting member 86 connects the first end member 85 and the second end member 87, and the connecting member 86 is formed by folding at least two layers of cable 88 in half.
[0185] This improves the reliability of the electrical connection between the display unit 12 and the circuit board 84.
[0186] Specifically, the first end member 85 is electrically connected to the circuit board 84, and the second end member 87 is electrically connected to the display unit 12. When the display unit 12 moves (e.g., rotates), the flexible cable 83 moves along with it, and the connecting member 86 is made by folding at least two layers of cable 88 in half, thereby making the stack of connecting member 86 compact, reducing its volume, ensuring the reliability of the connecting member 86, meeting durability requirements (e.g., a requirement of 50,000 cycles or more), satisfying the bending resistance requirements of the flexible cable 83, and the flexible cable 83 has a rotating shaft 82 drilled through it, making full use of the internal space of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0187] The flexible cable 83 also has the advantage of lower manufacturing costs compared to coaxial cables. In Figure 44, the rotating shaft 82 may include at least one of the first shaft 22, the second shaft 24, and the shaft portion 29.
[0188] In some embodiments, the connecting member 86 is bent into a first segment 89, a connecting segment 90 that connects the first segment 89 and the second segment 91, the first segment 89 is connected to a first end member 85, the second segment 91 is connected to a second end member 87, and the connecting segment 90 is located within the rotation axis 82.
[0189] This ensures the reliability of the connection between the display unit 12 and the circuit board 84 by the connecting member 86.
[0190] Specifically, the first segment 89, the connecting segment 90, and the second segment 91 are all made by folding a cable 88 with at least two layers in half, ensuring the bending resistance of the first segment 89, the connecting segment 90, and the second segment 91 during the movement of the display unit 12, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the display unit 12 and the circuit board 84 by the connecting member 86.
[0191] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 52 to 55, Figure 52 shows the structure of the flexible cable 83 before it is folded in half, Figure 53 shows the structure of the flexible cable 83 after it has been folded in half, the connecting member 86 is made by folding a three-layer cable 88 in half, and Figure 54 shows the structure of the connecting member 86 after it has been folded into a first segment 89, a connecting segment 90 and a second segment 91. Figure 55 shows the structure of the first segment 89, the connecting segment 90 and the second segment 91 covered with a protective layer 92.
[0192] In some embodiments, at least one of the first segment 89, the connecting segment 90, and the second segment 91 is covered with a protective layer 92. This protects the connecting member 86 and extends its service life.
[0193] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first segment 89, the connecting segment 90, and the second segment 91 are all covered with a protective layer 92. The protective layer 92 may be an insulating protective layer 92. In one example, the protective layer 92 is acetate cloth, and the first segment 89, the connecting segment 90, and the second segment 91 are covered with acetate cloth.
[0194] In other embodiments, it should be understood that one or two of the first segment 89, connecting segment 90, and second segment 91 are covered with a protective layer 92.
[0195] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 56, 57, 58, and 59, the handle 11 further includes a top cover 93, a bottom cover 94, a heat-generating element 96, and a first heat-dissipating element 97. A housing space 95 is provided within the handle 11. The heat-generating element 96 is located within the housing space 95. The first heat-dissipating element 97 is thermally conductively connected to the heat-generating element 96 and also thermally conductively connected to at least one of the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94, and the first heat-dissipating element 97 is configured to conduct heat emitted from the heat-generating element 96 to at least one of the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94.
[0196] This allows the heat from the heating element 96 inside the handle 11 to be transferred to at least one of the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94, lowering the temperature of the middle part of the handle 11, improving the user experience by reducing the feeling of burns on the hands and addressing the need for long-term recording.
[0197] Specifically, the handle 11 has a gripping portion 98 that connects the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94, and a storage space 95 is provided within the gripping portion 98. In one embodiment, the first heat dissipation member 97 is thermally conductively connected to the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94, and the first heat dissipation member 97 is configured to conduct heat emitted from the heat generating member 96 to the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94. In this way, the first heat dissipation member 97, the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94 are connected together to form a single "I" shaped heat dissipation architecture, enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the heat generating member 96. In one embodiment, the first heat dissipation member 97 is thermally conductively connected to the top cover 93 or the bottom cover 94, and the first heat dissipation member 97 is configured to conduct heat emitted from the heat generating member 96 to the top cover 93 or the bottom cover 94. The first heat dissipation member 97 is thermally conductively connected to the top cover 93, and the first heat dissipation member 97 is integrally connected to the top cover 93 to form a "T" shaped heat dissipation architecture. The first heat dissipation member 97 is thermally conductively connected to the bottom cover 94, and the first heat dissipation member 97 is integrally connected to the bottom cover 94 to form a "T" shaped heat dissipation architecture.
[0198] In one embodiment, the top cover 93 may be made of metal, and the bottom cover 94 and gripping part 98 may both be made of plastic. The metal top cover 93 is gripped well and not touched, allowing for better heat conduction, while the plastic bottom cover 94 and plastic gripping part 98 reduce the weight of the handheld tripod head device 100, making the handheld tripod head device 100 lighter. In another embodiment, the top cover 93, bottom cover 94 and gripping part 98 may all be made of metal. The metal top cover 93, metal bottom cover 94 and metal gripping part 98 are strong and durable, and can effectively avoid rupture and deformation due to impact. In yet another embodiment, the top cover 93, bottom cover 94 and gripping part 98 are not limited to the materials described above and may be made of other materials, and are not particularly limited here.
[0199] The gripping portion 98 includes an upper end and a lower end, with the upper end of the gripping portion 98 connected to the top cover 93 and the lower end of the gripping portion 98 connected to the bottom cover 94. The gripping portion 98 can be detachably connected to the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94 by screwing, engaging, latching, etc. The gripping portion 98 can also be connected to the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94 by fixed connections such as adhesive or welding, and is not specifically limited here. The gripping portion 98 is detachably connected to the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94, facilitating maintenance of the handheld tripod head device 100 and replacement of components in the storage space 95.
[0200] A housing space 95 is provided within the gripping portion 98, and the heating element 96 is located within the housing space 95. In one embodiment, the heating element 96 includes a processing chip that can be the main chip of the handheld tripod head device 100, and the main chip can be mounted on a circuit board 84 (shown in Figure 59). When the main chip is operating, it generates heat that creates localized hot spots in the handheld tripod head device 100. The first heat dissipation member 97 is thermally conductively connected to the heat generating member 96, that is, the first heat dissipation member 97 is thermally conductively connected to the main chip, and at the same time, the first heat dissipation member 97 is thermally conductively connected to at least one of the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94. In this way, the first heat dissipation member 97 is thermally conductively connected to the heat generating member 96 (main chip), the top cover 93 and / or the bottom cover 94, achieving thermal conductive contact. The first heat dissipation member 97 can conduct the heat emitted from the heat generating member 96 to at least one of the top cover 93 and the bottom cover 94, avoiding the generation of localized hot spots in the gripping portion 98 near the heat generating member 96. Furthermore, the heat is mainly directed to the top cover 93 and / or the bottom cover 94, lowering the temperature of the gripping portion 98. If this does not affect portability, it is advantageous in improving the overall gripping experience of the handheld tripod head device 100 and enhancing the user's usability.
[0201] In particular, the processing chip may include a central processing chip, a graphics processing chip, and the like. In other embodiments, the heat generating element 96 is not limited to a processing chip and may be of other types, and it should be understood that it is not specifically limited herein.
[0202] In some embodiments, the top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97 are connected via a first heat conduction member, and / or the bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97 are connected via a second heat conduction member.
[0203] This can improve heat conduction efficiency.
[0204] Specifically, in one embodiment, the top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97 are connected via a first heat conductive member, and the bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97 are connected via a second heat conductive member.
[0205] The top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97 can be connected via a first heat conduction member, which has a better heat conduction function. In this way, the heat emitted from the heat generating member 96 is guided to the first heat dissipation member 97, and then the heat is guided by the first heat dissipation member 97 to the first heat conduction member. The first heat conduction member conducts heat to the top cover 93, lowering the hot spot temperature of the gripping portion 98 and improving the feeling of burning on the gripping portion 98. The first heat conduction member achieves heat conduction contact between the top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97.
[0206] The bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97 can be connected via a second heat conduction member, which has a better heat conduction function. In this way, the heat emitted from the heat generating member 96 is guided to the first heat dissipation member 97, and then the first heat dissipation member 97 guides the heat to the second heat conduction member. The second heat conduction member conducts the heat to the bottom cover 94, lowering the hot spot temperature of the gripping portion 98 and improving the feeling of burning on the gripping portion 98. The second heat conduction member achieves heat conduction contact between the bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97.
[0207] In one embodiment, the top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97 are connected via a first heat conductive member, or the bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97 are connected via a second heat conductive member.
[0208] In some embodiments, the first heat conduction member includes a heat conductive gel, a heat conductive pad, or a graphite sheet, and the second heat conduction member includes a heat conductive gel, a heat conductive pad, or a graphite sheet. This provides flexibility in the selection of the first and second heat conduction members and reduces costs.
[0209] Specifically, both thermal conductive gels and thermal conductive pads are capable of conducting heat. When the first thermal conductive member is a thermal conductive gel, the thermal conductive gel strengthens the stability of the connection between the top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97, increases the thermal conduction area between the top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97, and improves thermal conduction efficiency. When the first thermal conductive member is a thermal conductive pad, by providing the thermal conductive pad between the top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97, direct friction between the top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97 can be avoided, thus avoiding collision between the top cover 93 and the first heat dissipation member 97. The thermal conductive pad has not only a thermal conduction effect but also a buffering effect.
[0210] When the first heat conduction member is a graphite sheet, the graphite sheet has the characteristic of high thermal conductivity, which enables uniform heating in the planar direction. The first heat dissipation member 97 can increase its thermal conductivity by achieving thermal conduction contact with the top cover 93 via the graphite sheet, which can quickly lower the temperature of the gripping portion 98, improving the feeling of burning on the gripping portion 98 and enhancing the user's experience.
[0211] If the second heat conduction member is a heat-conducting gel, the heat-conducting gel can enhance the stability of the connection between the bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97, increase the heat conduction area between the bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97, and improve heat conduction efficiency. If the second heat conduction member is a heat-conducting pad, by providing the heat-conducting pad between the bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97, direct friction between the bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97 can be avoided, collision between the bottom cover 94 and the first heat dissipation member 97 can be avoided, and the heat-conducting pad has not only a heat conduction effect but also a buffering effect.
[0212] When the second heat conduction member is a graphite sheet, the graphite sheet has high thermal conductivity and can achieve uniform heating in the planar direction. The first heat dissipation member 97 can increase its thermal conductivity by making thermal conduction contact with the bottom cover 94 via the graphite sheet, which can quickly lower the temperature of the gripping portion 98, improving the feeling of burning on the gripping portion 98 and enhancing the user experience.
[0213] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation member 97 includes a heat equalization plate or a heat pipe. This can improve heat conduction efficiency.
[0214] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first heat dissipation member 97 may include a heat equalization plate that can uniformly dissipate the heat from the heat generating member 96 to each part of the heat equalization plate, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area. Furthermore, the connection area between the heat equalization plate and the top cover 93 and bottom cover 94 is large, allowing heat to be quickly conducted to the top cover 93 and / or bottom cover 94, thereby improving heat conduction efficiency.
[0215] In one embodiment, the first heat dissipation member 97 includes a heat pipe (Vapor Chambers, VC), which can be a planar heat pipe. Planar heat pipes have advantages such as high thermal conductivity, low impedance, and flexible product dimensional design, and can quickly conduct heat from the heat generating member 96 to the top cover 93 and / or bottom cover 94, thereby improving thermal conductivity.
[0216] In some embodiments, a housing space 95 is provided within the handle 11, a heat-generating element 96 is housed within the housing space 95, the display unit 12 is connected to the handle 11 by an adapter structure 18, a second heat-dissipating element 99 is provided on the display unit 12, and the heat-generating element 96 is thermally conductively connected to the second heat-dissipating element 99 via the adapter structure 18.
[0217] In this way, the second heat dissipation member 99 can dissipate heat from the heat-generating member 96, improving the feeling of burning when gripping the handle 11 and enhancing the user experience.
[0218] Specifically, the heat-generating element 96 may include a circuit board 84 and a processing chip provided on the circuit board 84, and the processing chip is provided with a shield cover 101. The shield cover 101 is attached to the circuit board 84. When the heat-generating element 96 is operating, the heat is conducted by the circuit board 84 to the shield cover 101 via a thermally conductive gel, the shield cover 101 conducts the heat to the adapter structure 18, the adapter structure 18 conducts the heat to the second heat dissipation element 99, and the second heat dissipation element 99 dissipates the heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the handle 11, improving the feeling of burning when gripping the handle 11, and enhancing the user experience.
[0219] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 58, a plurality of second heat dissipation members 99 are provided inside the display unit 12 along the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12.
[0220] This further improves heat dissipation efficiency.
[0221] Specifically, the second heat dissipation member 99 can extend in the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12, and multiple second heat dissipation members 99 are provided in parallel inside the display unit 12. The adapter structure 18 guides the heat emitted from the heat generating member 96 to the multiple second heat dissipation members 99, allowing the heat to be dissipated by the multiple second heat dissipation members 99, further increasing the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0222] In some embodiments, a back housing 102 is connected to the display unit 12, and the second heat dissipation member 99 is in close contact with the back housing 102.
[0223] This further improves heat dissipation efficiency.
[0224] Specifically, the back housing 102 of the display unit 12 can be a housing that faces away from the user, and the back housing 102 of the display unit 12 has a large surface area, allowing for a large heat dissipation area. It is preferable to use a metal material for the back housing 102 of the display unit 12. By bringing the second heat dissipation member 99 and the back housing 102 into close contact, the heat conduction area between the two can be increased, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The display unit frame 17 includes the back housing 102.
[0225] In some embodiments, the second heat dissipation member 99 includes a stacked metal plate 103 and a graphite sheet 104. In this way, the heat dissipation effect of the second heat dissipation member 99 is high.
[0226] Specifically, the graphite sheet 104 can be positioned between the metal plate 103 and the back housing 102 of the display unit 12. The metal plate 103 is thermally conductively connected to the adapter structure 18. The metal plate 103 conducts heat to the graphite sheet 104, which conducts heat to the back housing 102. The back housing 102 then releases heat to the external environment of the display unit 12. By thermally conductively connecting the graphite sheet 104 to the metal plate 103 and the back housing 102 of the display unit 12, the heat conduction area between the metal plate 103 and the back housing 102 of the display unit 12 can be increased. The second heat dissipation member 99 has a high heat dissipation effect.
[0227] For example, the thickness of the graphite sheet 104 can be 0.2 mm.
[0228] In some embodiments, the adapter structure 18 includes a first member 25 and a second member 26 that rotate and engage with each other, with one of the first member 25 and the second member 26 fixed to the handle 11 and the other fixed to the display unit 12, and the gap between the first member 25 and the second member 26 is filled with thermally conductive grease.
[0229] This can improve heat conduction efficiency.
[0230] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first member 25 is fixed to the handle 11, and the second member 26 is fixed to the display unit 12. The first member 25 may include a base 19, which may be a bearing stator, and the second member 26 may include a shaft 29, which may be a bearing rotor. The gap between the bearing stator and the bearing is filled with thermal conductive grease, and the bearing rotor is thermally conductively connected to a second heat dissipation member 99 (e.g., a metal plate 103). The heat from the heat generating member 96 is conducted to the bearing stator via the shield cover 101, then to the bearing rotor via the thermal conductive grease, then to the second heat dissipation member 99, and finally to the external environment of the display unit 12 by the back housing 102 of the display unit 12.
[0231] In one example, both the bearing stator and bearing rotor are made of Al6061 aluminum alloy.
[0232] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 25, 26, and 27, the display unit 12 is foldably mounted on the handle 11. Specifically, the display unit 12 is connected to the handle 11 via a folding structure 105, thereby allowing the display unit 12 to move so as to switch between a first state and a second state.
[0233] This enables switching the state of the display unit 12.
[0234] Specifically, the folding structure 105 can move the display unit 12 during movement to enable switching of the display unit 12's state. The folding structure 105 may include structural elements such as a rotation axis and hinges.
[0235] In some embodiments, referring to the drawings, the display unit 12 is configured to have a first state, a folded state, and a second state, an unfolded state. The display unit 12 includes a fixed screen 108 fixed to the side wall of the handle 11 and a rotating screen 109, the rotating screen 109 being rotatably connected to one side of the fixed screen 108 via a folding structure 105. When the display unit 12 is in the folded state, the rotating screen 109 is superimposed on the fixed screen 108, with the side 107 away from the fixed screen 108 being the display surface. When the display unit 12 is in the unfolded state, the rotating screen 109 is provided alongside the fixed screen 108, and the rotating screen 109 and the side 106 away from the mounting surface 14 of the fixed screen 108 are combined as a display surface.
[0236] Therefore, the display unit 12 has different lateral dimensions in different states. Specifically, the display unit 12 has a smaller lateral dimension in the folded state and a larger lateral dimension in the unfolded state.
[0237] In some embodiments, within the range of open angles, the rotating screen 109 can be fixed in a hovering position at different open angles relative to the fixed screen 108.
[0238] This satisfies the user's requirements regarding the viewing angle of the display unit 12.
[0239] Specifically, in one embodiment, the opening angle range can be from 0 to 180 degrees. The user can rotate the rotating screen 109 to the appropriate angle manually or electrically using the operating member 78 of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, according to their needs. After adjustment is complete, the rotating screen 109 can hover at the adjusted angle.
[0240] In one embodiment, the folding structure 105 may include a hinge and a damping member, the hinge may connect the damping member and the rotating screen 109, and the rotating screen 109 may hover at any angle within the open angle range.
[0241] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 is retractably connected to the handle 11, thereby allowing the display unit 12 to move so as to switch between a first state and a second state.
[0242] This enables switching the state of the display unit 12.
[0243] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 is configured to have a first state, a retracted state, and a second state, an unfolded state, and the display unit 12 has at least two subscreens, the at least two subscreens being slidable relative to each other, and when the at least two subscreens are slid into the unfolded state, the display surfaces 15 of the at least two subscreens are aligned, and when the at least two subscreens are slid into the retracted state, the at least two subscreens are overlapping.
[0244] Thus, in different states, the display unit 12 has different lateral dimensions.
[0245] Specifically, in the stored state, at least two subscreens can be stacked and installed, with the uppermost subscreen serving as the display screen, and the display surface 15 of a single subscreen is small in size. The handheld pan / tilt head device 100 can utilize the uppermost subscreen to implement functions such as parameter and status display, image screen display, and command input (if the external screen 107 is a touchscreen).
[0246] In the unfolded state, the display surfaces 15 of at least two sub-screens are aligned, forming a relatively large display surface 15 as a whole. The handheld pan-tilt device 100 utilizes the display surface 15 to realize functions such as parameter display, status display, imaging screen display, and command input (when the external screen 107 is a touch screen).
[0247] The display unit 12 can be connected to the handle 11 via a telescopic structure. The telescopic structure can be provided on the handle 11. In one embodiment, the telescopic structure can include at least two telescopic arms. Each telescopic arm can be connected to one sub-screen. The telescopic arm has two telescopic directions, one is the horizontal telescopic direction, and the other is the vertical telescopic direction. Initially, the display unit 12 is in the storage state, and the sub-screens are provided in an overlapping manner. When switching from the storage state to the unfolded state, the telescopic arm can extend in the horizontal telescopic direction and drive the overlapping sub-screens to shift. When the sub-screens are completely shifted, the telescopic arm connected to the sub-screen with a higher height can retract in the vertical telescopic direction, and the telescopic arm connected to the sub-screen with a lower height can extend in the vertical telescopic direction, thereby aligning the display surfaces 15 of at least two sub-screens. The horizontal telescopic direction may be parallel to the side wall of the handle 11, and the vertical telescopic direction may be perpendicular to the side wall of the handle 11.
[0248] In some embodiments, the handheld pan-tilt device 100 further includes a controller. In response to the display unit 12 being switched between the first state and the second state, the controller controls the change in the operating state of the handheld pan-tilt device 100.
[0249] Thereby, the interlocking between the operating state of the handheld pan-tilt device 100 and the state of the display unit 12 becomes possible.
[0250] Specifically, one operating state of the handheld tripod head device 100 can be pre-configured to correspond to a first state of the display unit 12, and other operating states of the handheld tripod head device 100 can be pre-configured to correspond to a second state of the display unit 12. By switching the display unit 12 between the first and second states, the controller controls the change in the operating state of the handheld tripod head device 100.
[0251] In some embodiments, in response to the display unit 12 switching from a first state to a second state, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered off or in sleep mode, to power it on, and / or, in response to the display unit 12 switching from the second state to the first state, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered on, to keep it powered on, power it off, or put it into sleep mode.
[0252] In this way, the power on, power off, and sleep mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 can be controlled by switching the state of the display unit 12.
[0253] Specifically, the handheld tripod head unit 100 can be pre-configured so that the power-off or sleep state corresponds to the first state of the display unit 12, and the power-on state of the handheld tripod head unit 100 corresponds to the second state of the display unit 12. Initially, the display unit 12 is in the first state, and the handheld tripod head unit 100 is power-off or in sleep mode. When the display unit 12 is switched from the first state to the second state, the controller controls the power-on of the handheld tripod head unit 100, which is power-off or in sleep mode, in accordance with the above operation. When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, the controller controls the handheld tripod head unit 100, which is power-on, to maintain the power-on state, power on, or put into sleep mode, in accordance with the above operation.
[0254] Furthermore, in response to the display unit 12 switching from the first state to the second state, the controller can enable high-speed imaging and high-speed recording functions by controlling the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered off or in sleep mode, to power on and activate the imaging or recording function.
[0255] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 includes a first interactive module, and after the first interactive module is triggered, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to remain powered on as the display unit 12 switches from a second state to a first state.
[0256] Specifically, when the handheld tripod head unit 100 is powered on and the display unit 12 switches from the second state to the first state, the user or the handheld tripod head 13 system can trigger the first interactive module to select it in order to prevent the handheld tripod head unit 100 from being powered off or put into sleep mode. When the display unit 12 switches from the second state to the first state, the controller controls the handheld tripod head unit 100 to remain powered on in response to the above operation, so that the user can continue taking images using the handheld tripod head unit 100. If the first interactive module is not triggered, when the display unit 12 switches from the second state to the first state, the controller controls the handheld tripod head unit 100, which is powered on, to turn off or put into sleep mode.
[0257] In some embodiments, presentation information is provided in the graphical user interface of the display unit 12, and in response to the display unit 12 switching from a second state to a first state, the presentation information is used to present to the user whether to turn off the power or put the device into sleep mode.
[0258] In this way, when the state of the display unit 12 is switched, the user can be presented with the option to either power off or put the device into sleep mode, thereby improving the user experience.
[0259] Specifically, the information to be presented can be presented in the form of a pop-up window. When the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state, the controller may control the graphical user interface of the display unit 12 to display the information to be presented in accordance with the above operation. The information to be presented may include selection buttons. The user can choose whether or not to turn off the power using the selection button trigger or a physical button. The controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to either turn off the power or keep the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 powered on, in accordance with the user's command.
[0260] Specifically, as shown in Figure 66, when the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is powered off (Figure 66, Diagram A), the display unit 12 can be rotated to switch to a landscape screen (Figure 66, Diagram B). At this time, the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is powered on (Figure 66, Diagram C), and the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 can be set to activate the imaging and recording functions, thereby enabling high-speed imaging and high-speed recording functions. Then, when the display unit 12 is rotated back to a vertical screen configuration (Figure 66, Diagram D), the graphical user interface of the display unit 12 displays information to prompt the user whether to power off or put the device into sleep mode. The handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 then enters a power-off or sleep count (Figure 66, Diagram E). Alternatively, by directly operating the first interactive module, for example, by operating buttons such as "Continue imaging" or "Do not power off," the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is controlled to remain powered on, allowing the user to continue imaging using the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100.
[0261] In some embodiments, when the handheld tripod head device 100 is powered on, the controller controls the position of the tripod head 13 to the extended position, and / or when the handheld tripod head device 100 is powered off or put to sleep, the controller controls the position of the tripod head 13 to the retracted position.
[0262] In this way, the posture of the tripod head 13 and the power on / off state of the handheld tripod head device 100 are linked, making it user-friendly.
[0263] Specifically, in one embodiment, the controller controls the position of the tripod head 13 to the extended position in response to the power being turned on of the handheld tripod head device 100, and controls the position of the tripod head 13 to the retracted position in response to the power being turned off of the handheld tripod head device 100.
[0264] The stored position of the tripod head 13 may be such that the motor angles of each axis assembly of the tripod head 13 are the stored angles, for example, as shown in Figure 1, the stored angle may be defined as 0 degrees. The deployed position of the tripod head 13 may be such that the motor angles of each axis assembly of the tripod head 13 are the deployed angles, for example, as shown in Figure 2, the deployed angle may be defined as 90 degrees.
[0265] And / or, when the handheld tripod head unit 100 is powered off or in sleep mode, the tripod head 13 is in the retracted position. In response to the display unit 12 switching from the first state to the second state, the controller can control the power-on of the handheld tripod head unit 100, and further, in response to the power-on of the handheld tripod head unit 100, the controller controls the position of the tripod head 13 to switch from the retracted position to the deployed position, so that when the handheld tripod head unit 100 is powered on, the position of the tripod head 13 is in the deployed position. In response to the display unit 12 switching from the second state to the first state, the controller can control the power-off or sleep mode of the handheld tripod head unit 100, and further, in response to the power-off or sleep mode of the handheld tripod head unit 100, the controller controls the position of the tripod head 13 to switch from the deployed position to the retracted position.
[0266] In some embodiments, the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 includes at least a first imaging mode and a second imaging mode, and the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to set to the second imaging mode in response to the display unit 12 switching from a first state to a second state, and the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to set to the first imaging mode in response to the display unit 12 switching from the second state to a first state.
[0267] In this way, the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 and the status of the display unit 12 are linked, making it user-friendly.
[0268] Specifically, the first state of the display unit 12 corresponds to the first imaging mode of the handheld tripod head device 100, and the second state of the display unit 12 corresponds to the second imaging mode of the handheld tripod head device 100. By switching between the first and second states of the display unit 12, the user can easily switch the imaging mode of the handheld tripod head device 100 between the first imaging mode and the second imaging mode.
[0269] In one embodiment, the first imaging mode is a vertical shooting mode, and the second imaging mode is a horizontal shooting mode. Vertical shooting mode means that the captured image width is in the vertical direction and the height of the image width is greater than the width, as shown in Figures 61A and C. Horizontal shooting mode means that the captured image width is in the horizontal direction and the height of the image width is less than the width, as shown in Figure 61B. In Figure 61, switching from vertical shooting mode to horizontal shooting mode, or from horizontal shooting mode to vertical shooting mode, can be achieved by rotating the display unit 12.
[0270] In some embodiments, the controller controls the change of the posture of the pan-tilt head 13, so that the handheld pan-tilt device can be switched between the first imaging mode and the second imaging mode. Thus, by changing the posture of the pan-tilt head 13, the switching between the first imaging mode and the second imaging mode of the handheld pan-tilt device 100 can be realized. Specifically, the imaging module 16 is mounted on the first-axis assembly 79 of the pan-tilt head 13 as a load, and the controller can control at least one of the first-axis assembly 79, the second-axis assembly 80, and the third-axis assembly 81 of the three-axis pan-tilt head 13 to rotate, so that the imaging module 16 can be used for vertical shooting or horizontal shooting.
[0271] In some embodiments, when the posture of the pan-tilt head 13 does not change, the controller controls the rotation of the image sensor of the imaging module 16, so that the handheld pan-tilt device 100 can be switched between the first imaging mode and the second imaging mode.
[0272] Thus, by rotating the image sensor, the switching between the first imaging mode and the second imaging mode of the handheld pan-tilt device 100 can be realized.
[0273] Specifically, the imaging module 16 is mounted on the first-axis assembly 79 of the pan-tilt head 13 as a load, and an image sensor is provided inside the imaging module 16. The imaging module 16 has a built-in rotating means, and the controller can control the rotating means to drive the image sensor to rotate. When the longitudinal direction of the image sensor is along the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, the imaging mode of the handheld pan-tilt device 100 is the first imaging mode or the second imaging mode. When the longitudinal direction of the image sensor is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, the imaging mode of the handheld pan-tilt device 100 is the second imaging mode or the first imaging mode.
[0274] In some embodiments, the controller controls the change in display width so that the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 adapts to the first and second imaging modes when switching between them. For example, the width can be cropped to adapt to a landscape or portrait screen, filling the display interface with the width and eliminating black borders.
[0275] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first state of the display unit 12 is a vertical screen state, and the second state is a horizontal screen state. In the vertical screen state, for example, the ratio of the width to height of the image may be 9:16, and the image displayed on the display unit 12 can almost completely fill the entire display surface 15. In the horizontal screen state, for example, the ratio of the width to height of the image may be 16:9, and the image displayed on the display unit 12 can almost completely fill the entire display surface 15. As a result, the display of the image makes full use of the area of the display surface 15, and there is no black border when displaying the image.
[0276] In some embodiments, when the handheld tripod head unit 100 is powered off or in sleep mode, the controller controls the handheld tripod head unit 100 to power on and set to the second imaging mode in response to the display unit 12 switching from the first state to the second state. When the display unit 12 switches from the second state to the first state and the handheld tripod head unit 100 remains powered on, the controller controls the handheld tripod head unit 100 to switch from the second imaging mode to the first imaging mode when it receives a command from the user not to power off or not to sleep.
[0277] In this way, the status of the display unit 12 can be linked to the power on / off, sleep state, and imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, making it user-friendly.
[0278] Specifically, when the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is powered off, the display unit 12 can be set to a first state, the display unit 12 can switch from the first state to a second state, and the controller can control the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 to power on and enter the second imaging mode in response to the above operation.
[0279] When the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is powered on, the display unit 12 can be switched to a second state, and the display unit 12 switches from the second state to the first state. The controller controls the graphical user interface of the display unit 12 in response to the above operation to display information, and the information is used to inform the user whether to power off or put the device into sleep mode. When the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is kept powered on, and the controller receives information from the user that it will not power off or put the device into sleep mode, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 to switch from the second imaging mode to the first imaging mode.
[0280] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a second interactive module, and after the second interactive module is triggered, the controller controls the display unit 12 to switch between a first state and a second state, thereby preventing a change in the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100. This allows the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to be locked.
[0281] Specifically, the user or the system of the handheld tripod head unit 100 can trigger the second interactive module to be selected. After the second interactive module is triggered, the imaging mode of the handheld tripod head unit 100 can be locked, and the imaging mode of the handheld tripod head unit 100 will not change according to the state switching of the display unit 12, thereby realizing an imaging mode lock function.
[0282] For example, if the second interactive module is a vertical shooting locking control, triggering this control indicates that when the display unit 12 switches between a first state (e.g., a portrait screen state) and a second state (a landscape screen state), the image width on the display unit 12 is always a vertical image width. If the second interactive module is a horizontal shooting locking control, triggering this control indicates that when the display unit 12 switches between a first state (e.g., a portrait screen state) and a second state (a landscape screen state), the image width on the display unit 12 is always a horizontal image width. If the second interactive module is not triggered, or if the third interactive module can be triggered and the third interactive module is, for example, an adaptive horizontal / vertical shooting control, it indicates that the imaging mode changes according to the display unit 12, that is, a portrait screen corresponds to a vertical shooting mode and a landscape screen corresponds to a horizontal shooting mode. The vertical shooting locking control, horizontal shooting locking control, and adaptive horizontal / vertical shooting control may be three different controls, or they may be functions on a single control at different times. For example, they can be set to a specific icon, with the first trigger being the vertical shooting locking function, the second trigger being the horizontal shooting locking function, and the third trigger being the adaptive horizontal / vertical shooting function. Specifically, these can be set as needed. In Figure 62, as an example, the adaptive horizontal / vertical shooting control can be displayed on the graphical user interface of the display unit 12. The vertical shooting locking control and horizontal shooting locking control can be physical keys or touch keys located below the display unit.
[0283] In some embodiments, depending on whether the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 is in recording mode, the controller controls the display unit 12 to switch between a first state and a second state, so as not to change the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100. This makes it possible to lock the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 when it is in recording mode.
[0284] For example, referring to Figures 63 and 64, if the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 is in recording mode and is in horizontal shooting mode (Figure 63B and Figure 64B), the display unit 12 is rotated to switch to a vertical screen state. However, if it is set to remain in horizontal shooting mode (Figure 63C and Figure 64C) and then automatically switch to vertical shooting mode (Figure 63D) after recording is finished, the next recording will be in vertical shooting mode (Figure 63E), or if it is left in horizontal shooting mode (Figure 64D), the next recording will be in horizontal shooting mode (Figure 64E).
[0285] When the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is recording and is in vertical shooting mode (Figure 65A), the display unit 12 is rotated to switch to a horizontal screen. However, it is possible to set it to remain in vertical shooting mode (Figure 65B) and automatically switch to horizontal shooting mode (Figure 65C) after recording is finished. When the display unit 12 is rotated back to a vertical screen, the graphical user interface of the display unit 12 displays information to prompt the user whether to power off or put the device to sleep, and the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 enters the power off or sleep count (Figure 65E).
[0286] In some embodiments, the controller controls the pan / tilt head 13 to switch between a front shot and a selfie depending on the number of times the display unit 12 is switched between a first state and a second state.
[0287] This allows the number of times the display unit 12 switches between the forward shots and selfies taken by the tripod head 13 to be synchronized, making it user-friendly.
[0288] Specifically, the display unit 12 can pre-set and store the correspondence between the number of times it switches between the first state and the second state and the forward shooting and self-shooting modes of the tripod head 13. For example, one switch controls the forward shooting mode of the tripod head 13, and two back-and-forth switches control the self-shooting mode of the tripod head 13. Also, if the number of switches is odd, the tripod head 13 will perform a forward shooting mode, and if the number of switches is even, the tripod head 13 will perform a self-shooting mode. Furthermore, for example, if the number of switches reaches a certain value or multiple values, the tripod head 13 will perform a forward shooting mode, and if the number of switches reaches another value or multiple values, the tripod head 13 will perform a self-shooting mode.
[0289] "Forward shooting" of the tripod head 13 means that, due to the rotation of the tripod head 13, the lens of the imaging module 16 on the tripod head 13 faces forward towards the user. "Selfie shooting" of the tripod head 13 means that, due to the rotation of the tripod head 13, the lens of the imaging module 16 on the tripod head 13 faces towards the user.
[0290] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 is rotatable relative to the handle 11, and the controller drives the pan / tilt head 13 to rotate to a corresponding angle according to the rotation angle of the display unit 12.
[0291] In this way, the rotation of the display unit 12 and the rotation of the pan / tilt head 13 are synchronized, making it user-friendly.
[0292] Specifically, the controller acquires the rotation angle of the display unit 12 and adaptively controls the trajectory of the pan / tilt head 13 according to the rotation angle of the display unit 12, thereby realizing coordination between the display unit 12 and the pan / tilt head 13.
[0293] The rotation of the pan / tilt head 13 may be synchronized with or asynchronous to the rotation of the display unit 12, and is not particularly limited thereto.
[0294] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 60, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a position sensor 110, which is used to detect the position of the display unit 12, and the controller controls the operating state of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 based on the position information of the display unit 12.
[0295] In this way, the position of the display unit 12 can be obtained from the position sensor 110. The position of the display unit 12 may include position information such as the rotation angle and shift distance of the display unit 12.
[0296] The position sensor 110 includes a trigger switch, which is at least one of a switch that rests in a predetermined position, a Hall sensor, or a photoelectric sensor. When the display unit 12 is switched from a first state to a second state, the trigger switch is triggered, and the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered off or in sleep mode, to power on based on the trigger signal of the trigger switch. The position sensor 110 can be mounted on the handle 11, and a trigger member corresponding to the display unit 12 is provided, and the trigger member is appropriately used with the trigger switch during the movement process of the display unit 12.
[0297] For example, referring to Figure 60, the trigger switch of the position sensor 110 is a switch that rests in a predetermined position, and the adapter structure 18 includes a base 19 and a retaining cover 20, the retaining cover 20 includes a fixing plate 21 and a first shaft 22, the first shaft 22 is connected to the fixing plate 21, the fixing plate 21 is fixed inside the display unit frame 17 and the first shaft 22 penetrates the display unit frame 17. The base 19 includes a base 23 and a second shaft 24, the base 23 is fixable to the handle 11 and the switch that rests in a predetermined position is mounted inside the base 23, the second shaft 24 is connected to the base 23 and the second shaft 24 is fitted to the outside of the first shaft 22 and the first shaft 22 and the second shaft 24 are rotatably connected. The surface of the display unit frame 17 facing the handle 11 has a trigger portion, and the trigger portion can be partially inserted inside the base 23. When the display unit 12 reaches the first or second state, the trigger unit can trigger the inset switch, and the controller can obtain the current position of the display unit 12. In the figure, both the first axis 22 and the second axis 24 are hollow shafts that facilitate the passage of the flexible cable 83.
[0298] In other embodiments, the position sensor 100 may also include an angle detection sensor for recognizing the rotation angle of the display unit 12, thereby controlling the operating state of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 according to the rotation angle, for example, by rotating the pan / tilt head 13 by the corresponding angle. The angle detection sensor is at least one of the following: a Hall sensor, a photoelectric sensor, etc. The position sensor 100 may be provided separately as a trigger switch, or separately as an angle detection sensor, or it may be provided as both a trigger switch and an angle detection sensor, or the position sensor may be provided as an integrated member of the trigger switch and the angle detection sensor.
[0299] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a controller that controls the pan / tilt head 13 to take images in multiple orientations centered on the current orientation and to combine them into a panoramic image, depending on when the pan / tilt head 13 reaches any desired orientation.
[0300] Specifically, multiple orientations include, but are not limited to, multiple directions and / or multiple angles, and multiple directions include, but are not limited to, up, down, left, and right. Multiple angles include, but are not limited to, one or more angles upward in one direction, for example, imaging at one or more angles upward or imaging at one or more angles to the left. Directions and angles can refer to the orientation and angle determined from the ground coordinates of the lens of the imaging module 16 on the tripod head 13.
[0301] The graphical user interface of the display unit 12 is provided with a fourth interactive module, and after the fourth interactive module is triggered, the controller can activate the panoramic image stitching function. When the pan / tilt head 13 reaches an arbitrary position, the controller can control the imaging module 16 on the pan / tilt head 13 to capture images in multiple directions, acquire one or more images for each direction, and stitch together a panoramic image using the images corresponding to the multiple directions. The first, second, third, and fourth interactive modules may be physical key buttons on the handle 11, icons on the display unit 12, or they may be provided in the graphical user interface of the display unit in the form of a pump window, a pull-down menu, or by clicking and then selecting.
[0302] On the other hand, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 according to the embodiment of this application includes a handle 11, a display unit 12, a pan / tilt head 13, and a controller, the handle 11 being provided with a mounting surface 14. The display unit 12 is provided on the mounting surface 14 and has a first state and a second state, and is configured to move so as to switch reversibly between the first state and the second state, the dimension of the display unit 12 along the lateral direction of the handle 11 in the first state is smaller than the dimension of the handle 11 along the lateral direction of the handle 11 in the second state. The pan / tilt head 13 is provided on the handle 11. In response to the display unit 12 switching between the first state and the second state, the controller controls the change in the operating state of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0303] In the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 described above, since the display unit 12 is movable, the influence of the handle 11 on the dimensions of the display unit 12 can be reduced, allowing for a larger display width and more content to be displayed, thereby improving the user experience. Furthermore, because the display unit 12 is movable, the influence of the handle 11 on the dimensions of the display unit 12 can be reduced, allowing for a larger display unit 12, improving the shortcomings of conventional display units, which are small and have weak interaction functions, and thus improving the user experience. In addition, it is possible to synchronize the operating state of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 with the state of the display unit 12.
[0304] Furthermore, the interpretation and explanation of the above-described embodiment of the handheld tripod head device 100 and its beneficial effects also apply to the handheld tripod head device 100 according to this embodiment, and in order to avoid redundancy, a detailed explanation will not be provided here.
[0305] In some embodiments, in response to the display unit 12 switching from a first state to a second state, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered off or in sleep mode, to power it on, and / or, in response to the display unit 12 switching from the second state to the first state, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered on, to keep it powered on, power it off, or put it into sleep mode.
[0306] In this way, the power on / off and sleep mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 can be controlled by switching the state of the display unit 12.
[0307] In some embodiments, when the display unit 12 is switched from a first state to a second state, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered off or in sleep mode, to power on and activate the imaging or recording function.
[0308] This enables high-speed imaging and high-speed recording functions.
[0309] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 includes a first interactive module, and after the first interactive module is triggered, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to remain powered on as the display unit 12 switches from a second state to a first state.
[0310] This prevents the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 from being powered off or put into sleep mode when the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state.
[0311] In some embodiments, presentation information is provided in the graphical user interface of the display unit 12, and in response to the display unit 12 switching from a second state to a first state, the presentation information is used to present to the user whether to turn off the power or put the device into sleep mode.
[0312] In this way, when the state of the display unit 12 is switched, the user can be presented with the option to either power off or put it into sleep mode, thereby improving the user experience.
[0313] In some embodiments, the controller controls the orientation of the pan / tilt head 13 to the deployed position in response to the activation of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, and / or controls the orientation of the pan / tilt head 13 to the retracted position in response to the power off or sleep of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0314] In this way, the posture of the tripod head 13 and the power on / off state of the handheld tripod head device 100 are linked, making it user-friendly.
[0315] In some embodiments, the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 includes at least a first imaging mode and a second imaging mode, and the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to set to the second imaging mode in response to the display unit 12 switching from a first state to a second state, and the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to set to the first imaging mode in response to the display unit 12 switching from the second state to a first state.
[0316] In this way, the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 and the status of the display unit 12 are linked, making it user-friendly.
[0317] In some embodiments, the first imaging mode is a vertical shooting mode, and the second imaging mode is a horizontal shooting mode.
[0318] In this way, the state of the display unit 12 can be switched according to the need for either vertical or horizontal shooting mode.
[0319] In some embodiments, the controller is used to control changes in the attitude of the pan / tilt head 13 so that the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 can switch between a first imaging mode and a second imaging mode.
[0320] In this way, the handheld tripod head 100 can be switched between the first and second imaging modes by changing the orientation of the tripod head 13. In some embodiments, if the orientation of the tripod head 13 does not change, the controller controls the rotation of the image sensor of the imaging module 16, thereby switching the handheld tripod head 100 between the first and second imaging modes. Thus, the handheld tripod head 100 can be switched between the first and second imaging modes by rotating the image sensor.
[0321] In some embodiments, the controller controls the change in the display width to suit the first imaging mode and the second imaging mode.
[0322] In this way, by cropping the image width, it is possible to adapt it to a landscape or portrait screen, filling the display interface with the image width and eliminating black borders.
[0323] In some embodiments, when the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is powered off or in sleep mode, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 to power on and enter second imaging mode in response to the display unit 12 rotating from first to second state. When the display unit 12 rotates from second to first state and the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 remains powered on, and the controller receives a command from the user not to power off or not to enter sleep mode, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 to switch from second imaging mode to first imaging mode.
[0324] In this way, the status of the display unit 12 can be linked to the power on / off, sleep state, and imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, making it user-friendly.
[0325] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a second interactive module, and after the second interactive module is triggered, the controller controls the display unit 12 to switch between a first state and a second state, so as not to change the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0326] This allows the imaging mode of the handheld tripod head device 100 to be locked.
[0327] In some embodiments, depending on whether the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 is in recording mode, the controller controls the display unit 12 so as it switches between a first state and a second state, it does not change the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0328] This allows the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 to be locked when the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is in recording mode.
[0329] In some embodiments, the controller controls the pan / tilt head 13 to switch between a front shot and a selfie depending on the number of times the display unit 12 is switched between a first state and a second state.
[0330] This allows the number of times the display unit 12 switches between the forward shots and selfies taken by the tripod head 13 to be synchronized, making it user-friendly.
[0331] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 is rotatable relative to the handle 11, and the controller is used to rotate the pan / tilt head 13 to a corresponding angle according to the rotation angle of the display unit 12.
[0332] In this way, the rotation of the display unit 12 and the rotation of the pan / tilt head 13 are synchronized, making it user-friendly.
[0333] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a position sensor 110, which is used to detect the position of the display unit 12, and a controller is used to control the operating state of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 based on the position information of the display unit 12.
[0334] In this way, the position of the display unit 12 can be obtained from the position sensor 110110.
[0335] In some embodiments, the position sensor 110 includes a trigger switch, which is triggered when the display unit 12 switches from a first state to a second state, and the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered off or in sleep mode, to power on based on the trigger signal of the trigger switch.
[0336] In this way, the trigger switch is used to control the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is either powered off or in sleep mode, to be powered on.
[0337] In some embodiments, when the pan / tilt head 13 reaches a desired posture, the controller controls the pan / tilt head 13 to take images in multiple directions centered on the current posture and to combine them into a panoramic image.
[0338] In related technologies, handheld pan / tilt head devices include an interactive device mounted on the handle, but the dimensional limitations of the handle restrict the operable space of the interactive device, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0339] Therefore, in another aspect, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the handheld gimbal device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes a handle 11, a display unit 12, and a gimbal 13. An attachment surface 14 and a first interactive device 111 for receiving user commands are provided on the handle 11. The display unit 12 is rotatably provided on the attachment surface 14 so that the display unit 12 can be reversibly switched between a first state and a second state. A display surface 15 is provided on the display unit 12, and the rotation axis of the display unit 12 is perpendicular to the display surface 15. In both the first state and the second state, the display surface 15 is separated from the attachment surface 14, and the distance between the lower edge of the display unit 12 in the first state and the first interactive device 111 is smaller than the distance between the lower edge of the display unit 12 in the second state and the first interactive device 111. The gimbal 13 is provided on the handle 11.
[0340] In the above-described handheld gimbal device 100, the distance between the lower edge of the display unit 12 in the second state and the first interactive device 111 is large. When the display unit 12 is in the second state, more operation space for the first interactive device 111 can be provided, improving the convenience when the user operates the first interactive device 111.
[0341] Specifically, the first interactive device 111 can include an operation member 78 that can include, but is not limited to, keys, knobs, touchscreens, etc.
[0342] Referring to FIG. 1, the distance between the lower edge of the display unit 12 in the first state and the first interactive device 111 is d1. Referring to FIG. 2, the distance between the lower edge of the display unit 12 in the second state and the first interactive device 111 is d2, and d1 < d2. Thereby, in the second state, the distance between the display unit 12 and the first interactive device 111 is larger, more operation space for the first interactive device 111 can be provided, and the user experience is improved.
[0343] In some embodiments, the handle 11 is further provided with a second interactive device 112 for receiving user commands, wherein in a first state, the second interactive device 112 is located on the back of the display unit 12, and in a second state, the second interactive device 112 is located on the underside of the display unit 12 so that the second interactive device 112 is exposed.
[0344] This allows us to offer users a wider range of operations.
[0345] Specifically, in the first state, the second interactive device 112 is located on the back of the display unit 12, and the display unit 12 shields the second interactive device 112. The user can interact with the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 by operating the first interactive device 111.
[0346] In the second state, the second interactive device 112 is provided below the display unit 12, thereby exposing the second interactive device 112, and the second interactive device 112 may further include an operating member. The user can further operate the exposed second interactive device 112, and the functions of the operating members of the first interactive device 111 and the second interactive device 112 may be the same, different, some functions identical and some different, and are not particularly limited here.
[0347] If the operating members of the first interactive device 111 and the second interactive device 112 have the same function, the user can operate either the first interactive device 111 or the second interactive device 112 in the second state according to their needs.
[0348] If the functions of the operating members of the first interactive device 111 and the second interactive device 112 are different, the user can operate either the first interactive device 111 or the second interactive device 112 in the second state according to the control needs of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0349] If some functions of the operating members of the first interactive device 111 and the second interactive device 112 are different, and some functions are the same, the user can, in the second state, operate the operating members located in different interactive devices that have the same function, according to their needs, and can also, in the second state, operate the operating members of the first interactive device 111 or the second interactive device 112 according to the need to control the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0350] The above-described embodiment of the handheld tripod head device 100 and its beneficial effects also apply to the handheld tripod head device 100 according to this embodiment, and to avoid redundancy, a detailed explanation will not be provided here.
[0351] In some embodiments, in the first state, the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the handle 11, and in the second state, the angle between the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 and the longitudinal direction of the handle 11 is greater than zero.
[0352] Thus, in the first state, the structure of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 becomes more compact, and in the second state, the display unit 12 may be expanded to display more content or to exhibit a larger field of view.
[0353] In some embodiments, the first state is a state in which the display unit 12 is a vertically oriented screen, and the second state is a state in which the display unit 12 is a horizontally oriented screen.
[0354] Thus, having the display unit 12 in a vertical screen configuration makes the structure of the handheld tripod head device 100 more compact and reduces the space occupied by the handheld tripod head device 100. Having the display unit 12 in a horizontal screen configuration allows for a wider field of view, the display of more content, and the expansion of the small horizontal screen on the original vertical screen to fill the horizontal screen after conversion. This allows users to view the content displayed on the display unit 12 more clearly and comfortably, better suits the user's viewing habits, and improves the user experience.
[0355] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 has a longitudinal dimension and a shorter longitudinal dimension, and in the first state, the shorter direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the lateral direction of the handle 11, and in the second state, the longitudinal direction of the display unit 12 is aligned with the lateral direction of the handle 11.
[0356] In this way, in the second state, the display unit 12 can display more content horizontally relative to the handle 11.
[0357] In some embodiments, in the first state, the outer circumference of the display unit 12 is aligned with the outer circumference of the mounting surface 14, or the display unit 12 is located within the mounting surface 14. In the second state, the display unit 12 extends from the mounting surface 14 along both lateral ends of the handle 11.
[0358] This allows the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to occupy less space in the first state, and in the second state, the display unit 12 can display more content along the lateral direction of the handle 11.
[0359] In some embodiments, the rotational stroke of the display unit 12 includes a first movement step from a first state to a critical position, and a second movement step from the critical position to a second state, wherein, in response to the display unit 12 switching from the first state to the second state, the display unit 12 can automatically reach the second state after passing the critical position, and in response to the display unit 12 switching from the second state to the first state, the display unit 12 can automatically reach the first state after passing the critical position.
[0360] Therefore, the rotational movement of the display unit 12 can be divided into two movement stages.
[0361] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 is connected to the handle 11 via an adapter structure 18, which allows the display unit 12 to automatically and reversibly reach a first or second state.
[0362] This makes it easier to switch the state of the display unit 12.
[0363] In some embodiments, the adapter structure 18 includes a first member 25 and a second member 26 that rotate-engage with each other, the first member 25 being connected to the handle 11 and the second member 26 being connected to the display unit 12, and the direction of the force acting between the first member 25 and the second member 26 is configured to change during the movement process of the display unit 12 such that when the display unit 12 is switched from a first state to a second state, the first member 25 provides motion resistance to the second member 26 in the first movement phase and provides a driving force to the second member 26 in the second movement phase, and when the display unit 12 is switched from a second state to a first state, the first member 25 provides motion resistance to the second member 26 in the second movement phase and provides a driving force to the first member 26 in the first movement phase.
[0364] In this way, the first member 25 and the second member 26 can control the state switching of the display unit 12.
[0365] In some embodiments, the force acting between the first member 25 and the second member 26 is a magnetic force.
[0366] This reduces the cost and structural complexity of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0367] In some embodiments, the first member 25 includes a first magnet 27, and the second member 26 includes a second magnet 28, with the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 being positioned opposite each other, generating a repulsive force between them, and the critical position being the angle at which the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are aligned in a straight line.
[0368] In this way, the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 allow the display unit 12 to automatically reach the second state or the first state after passing the critical position.
[0369] In some embodiments, during the first movement phase, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are misaligned, and the first magnet 27 imparts motion resistance or driving force to the second magnet 28. During the second movement phase, the magnetization direction of the first magnet 27 and the magnetization direction of the second magnet 28 are misaligned, and the first magnet 27 imparts driving force or motion resistance to the second magnet 28.
[0370] In this way, the interaction between the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 can be used to generate a driving force or motion resistance.
[0371] In some embodiments, the first magnet 27 is annular, the second magnet 28 is annular, and either the first magnet 27 is fitted to the outside of the second magnet 28, or the second magnet 28 is fitted to the outside of the first magnet 27.
[0372] This improves the space utilization rate of the handheld tripod head device 100.
[0373] In some embodiments, the first magnet 27 and the second magnet 28 are positioned at least partially offset in the axial direction of the adapter structure 18.
[0374] In this way, it is ensured that the display unit 12 does not shift in the axial direction during rotation.
[0375] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 is provided with limiting structures 45 located at both ends of the rotational stroke.
[0376] In this way, the rotational movement of the display unit 12 can be limited.
[0377] In some embodiments, a first guide portion 46 is provided on the handle 11 or the first member 25, and a second guide portion 47 is provided on the display unit 12 or the second member 26, and the first guide portion 46 and the second guide portion 47 are guide-engaged, and the limiting structure 45 includes limiting portions located at both ends of the first guide portion 46 or the second guide portion 47.
[0378] In this way, the limiting sections in the first guide section 46 and the second guide section 47 can restrict the display unit 12.
[0379] In some embodiments, the display unit 12 has at least one of the following functions: controlling the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, controlling the operating parameters of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, displaying the operating parameters of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, and displaying the image capture screen of the pan / tilt head 13.
[0380] In this way, the state switching of the display unit 12 can trigger at least one of the above-mentioned functions to improve the user experience.
[0381] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a controller that controls changes in the operating state of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 in response to the display unit 12 being switched between a first state and a second state.
[0382] This makes it possible to link the operating status of the handheld tripod head device 100 with the status of the display unit 12.
[0383] In some embodiments, in response to the display unit 12 switching from a first state to a second state, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered off or in sleep mode, to power it on, and / or, in response to the display unit 12 switching from the second state to the first state, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered on, to keep it powered on, power it off, or put it into sleep mode.
[0384] In this way, the power on / off and sleep mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 can be controlled by switching the state of the display unit 12.
[0385] In some embodiments, when the display unit 12 is switched from a first state to a second state, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered off or in sleep mode, to power on and activate the imaging or recording function.
[0386] This enables high-speed imaging and high-speed recording functions.
[0387] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a first interactive module, and after the first interactive module is triggered, the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to remain powered on in response to the display unit 12 switching from a second state to a first state.
[0388] This prevents the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 from being powered off or put into sleep mode when the display unit 12 is switched from the second state to the first state.
[0389] In some embodiments, presentation information is provided in the graphical user interface of the display unit 12, and in response to the display unit 12 switching from a second state to a first state, the presentation information is used to present to the user whether to turn off the power or put the device into sleep mode.
[0390] In this way, when the state of the display unit 12 is switched, the user can be presented with the option to either power off or put it into sleep mode, thereby improving the user experience.
[0391] In some embodiments, the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 includes at least a first imaging mode and a second imaging mode, and the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to set to the second imaging mode in response to the display unit 12 switching from a first state to a second state, and the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 to set to the first imaging mode in response to the display unit 12 switching from the second state to a first state.
[0392] In this way, the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 and the status of the display unit 12 are linked, making it user-friendly.
[0393] In some embodiments, the first imaging mode is a vertical shooting mode, and the second imaging mode is a horizontal shooting mode.
[0394] This allows you to switch between vertical and horizontal shooting modes.
[0395] In some embodiments, the controller controls the change in the attitude of the pan / tilt head 13 so that the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 can switch between a first imaging mode and a second imaging mode.
[0396] In this way, the handheld tripod head 100 can be switched between the first and second imaging modes by changing the orientation of the tripod head 13. In some embodiments, if the orientation of the tripod head 13 does not change, the controller controls the rotation of the image sensor of the imaging module 16, thereby switching the handheld tripod head 100 between the first and second imaging modes. Thus, the handheld tripod head 100 can be switched between the first and second imaging modes by rotating the image sensor.
[0397] In some embodiments, the controller controls the change in the display width to suit the first imaging mode and the second imaging mode.
[0398] In this way, by cropping the image width, it is possible to adapt it to a landscape or portrait screen, filling the display interface with the image width and eliminating black borders.
[0399] In some embodiments, when the handheld tripod head unit 100 is powered off or in sleep mode, the controller controls the handheld tripod head unit 100 to power on and enter second imaging mode in response to the display unit 12 switching from first state to second state. When the display unit 12 switches from second state to first state and the handheld tripod head unit 100 remains powered on, and the controller receives a command from the user not to power off or not to enter sleep mode, the controller controls the handheld tripod head unit 100 to switch from second imaging mode to first imaging mode.
[0400] In this way, the status of the display unit 12 can be linked to the power on / off, sleep state, and imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, making it user-friendly.
[0401] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a second interactive module, and after the second interactive module is triggered, the controller controls the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 so as the display unit 12 switches between a first state and a second state.
[0402] This allows the imaging mode of the handheld tripod head device 100 to be locked.
[0403] In some embodiments, depending on whether the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 is in recording mode, the controller controls the display unit 12 so as it switches between a first state and a second state, it does not change the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100.
[0404] This allows the imaging mode of the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 to be locked when the handheld pan / tilt head unit 100 is in recording mode.
[0405] In some embodiments, the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 further includes a position sensor 110, which is used to detect the position of the display unit 12, and the controller controls the operating state of the handheld pan / tilt head device 100 based on the position information of the display unit 12.
[0406] In this way, the position of the display unit 12 can be obtained from the position sensor 110110.
[0407] In some embodiments, the position sensor 110 includes a trigger switch, which is triggered when the display unit 12 switches from a first state to a second state, and the controller controls the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is powered off or in sleep mode, to power on based on the trigger signal of the trigger switch.
[0408] In this way, the trigger switch is used to control the handheld pan / tilt head device 100, which is either powered off or in sleep mode, to be powered on.
[0409] The imaging assembly 200 according to the embodiment of this application includes a handheld pan / tilt head device 100 according to any one of the embodiments described above, and an imaging module 16 provided on the pan / tilt head 13.
[0410] In the imaging assembly 200 described above, the display unit 12 is movable, which reduces the influence of the handle 11's dimensions on the display unit 12's dimensions. This allows for a larger screen width for the display unit 12, more content to be displayed, and an improved user experience.
