[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the folding mechanism 300 can be a hinge-type folding mechanism, a hinge-type folding mechanism, a sliding rail-type folding mechanism, a telescopic folding mechanism, etc. The folded state of the photographing system refers to the state that the photographing assembly 200 and the support assembly 100 are relatively close, i.e., the second end portion 120 of the support assembly 100 and the fourth end portion 220 of the photographing assembly 200 are relatively close; the unfolded state of the photographing system refers to the state that the photographing assembly 200 and the support assembly 100 are relatively dispersed, i.e., the second end portion 120 of the support assembly 100 and the fourth end portion 220 of the photographing assembly 200 are relatively far away.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the length direction refers to the direction of a component (such as the folding assembly 320, the support assembly 100, the folding mechanism 300, etc.) with a larger size, for example, in the case of a long rod structure, the length direction is the central axis direction; in the case of a cuboid structure, the length direction is the extension direction of the long side.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the photographing assembly 200 and the support assembly 100 satisfy the parallel condition along the length direction, specifically, the central axis of the photographing assembly 200 along the length direction and the central axis of the support assembly 100 along the length direction satisfy the parallel condition, which means that the two central axes are parallel or approximately parallel, approximately parallel means that within the allowable range of process error, there is a small included angle between the two central axes, for example, the included angle is within 3 degrees.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the second end portion 120 and the fourth end portion 220 satisfy the flush condition, specifically, the second end portion 120 includes an end face away from the first end portion 110, the fourth end portion 220 includes an end face away from the third end portion 210, in the folded state, the end face of the second end portion 120 is parallel or approximately parallel to the end face of the fourth end portion 220, and the two end faces overlap or approximately overlap, approximately overlap means that within the process error allowable range, the two end faces have a small spacing, for example, the spacing is within 3 millimeters.

[0058] The technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application, the shooting assembly 200 includes a support assembly 100 and a shooting assembly 200, the shooting assembly 200 is configured to shoot images or videos, the support assembly 100 provides support for the shooting assembly 200 to facilitate shooting. Among them, the support assembly 100 has a first end portion 110 and a second end portion 120 which are away from each other along the length direction, the shooting assembly 200 has a third end portion 210 and a fourth end portion 220 which are away from each other along the length direction, the third end portion 210 is connected to the first end portion 110 through the folding mechanism 300, so that the shooting system has a folded state and an unfolded state, the folded state is that the second end portion 120 of the support assembly 100 and the fourth end portion 220 of the shooting assembly 200 are relatively close, the unfolded state is that the second end portion 120 of the support assembly 100 and the fourth end portion 220 of the shooting assembly 200 are relatively far away.

[0059] On this basis, in the folded state, the shooting assembly 200 and the support assembly 100 satisfy the parallel condition along the length direction, that is, the center axis of the shooting assembly 200 and the center axis of the support assembly 100 are parallel or approximately parallel, and the second end portion 120 of the support assembly 100 and the fourth end portion 220 of the shooting assembly 200 satisfy the flush condition, that is, the end face of the second end portion 120 and the end face of the second end portion 120 are in or approximately in the same plane. By such arrangement, the shooting system in the folded state has a more regular structure, a more flat external contour, and presents an approximately square contour, which is convenient for storage and can reduce the additional space occupied by the shooting system when it is stored.

[0060] Compared with the scheme in the related art that the shooting system occupies more space when it is stored, the shooting system of the embodiments of the present application, because in the folded state, the shooting assembly 200 and the support assembly 100 satisfy the parallel condition along the length direction, and the second end portion 120 of the support assembly 100 and the fourth end portion 220 of the shooting assembly 200 satisfy the flush condition, the structure of the shooting system in the folded state is more regular, which is convenient for storage.

[0061] With reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in some possible embodiments of the present application, the support assembly 100 is telescopic, and in the contracted state of the support assembly 100 (the support assembly 100 in the extended state is shown by the dashed line in FIG. 3), the length L1 of the support assembly 100 is equal to the length L2 of the photographing assembly 200, or the sum of the length of the photographing assembly 200 and the length of the folding mechanism 300 is equal to the length L1 of the support assembly 100, or the sum of the length of the support assembly 100 and the length of the folding mechanism 300 is equal to the length L2 of the photographing assembly 200.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the support assembly 100 is telescopic, specifically, the length of the support assembly 100 can be adjusted, and the length of the support assembly 100 in the contracted state is smaller than the length of the support assembly 100 in the extended state. The support assembly 100 can include a screw type telescopic structure, a nested telescopic structure, a folding telescopic structure, a gas pressure / hydraulic telescopic structure, a magnetostrictive structure, etc., to realize the telescopic function.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, the length L1 of the support assembly 100 is the length of the support assembly 100 along the length direction; correspondingly, the length L2 of the photographing assembly 200 is the length of the photographing assembly 200 along the length direction; the sum of the length of the photographing assembly 200 and the length of the folding mechanism 300 is the sum of the length L2 of the photographing assembly 200 along the length direction and the length L3 of the folding mechanism 300 along the length direction of the photographing assembly 200; the sum of the length of the support assembly 100 and the length of the folding mechanism 300 is the sum of the length L1 of the support assembly 100 along the length direction and the length L3 of the folding mechanism 300 along the length direction of the support assembly 100.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, the equal condition is that the sizes of two components (such as the folding assembly 320, the support assembly 100, the folding mechanism 300, etc.) are equal or approximately equal. Approximately equal means that within the allowable range of process error, the two sizes have a small difference, for example, the difference is within 3 mm.

[0065] It should be noted that, in the case that the support assembly 100 is not telescopic, the length L1 of the support assembly 100 is the length along the length direction, and in the case that the support assembly 100 is telescopic, the length L1 of the support assembly 100 is the length along the length direction in the contracted state.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 3, in an example, the length L1 of the support assembly 100 and the length L2 of the shooting assembly 200 satisfy the equal condition; referring to FIG. 4, in another example, the sum (L2+L3) of the lengths of the shooting assembly 200 and the folding mechanism 300 and the length L1 of the support assembly 100 satisfy the equal condition; referring to FIG. 5, in yet another example, the sum (L1+L3) of the lengths of the support assembly 100 and the folding mechanism 300 and the length L2 of the shooting assembly 200 satisfy the equal condition.

[0067] The technical scheme provided in the embodiments of the present application can provide more diversified support when the shooting system is used, can be retracted to reduce the space occupation when the shooting device is stored, and the folding mechanism 300 can cooperate with the shooting assembly 200 or the support assembly 100 to make the second end portion 120 and the fourth end portion 220 satisfy the flush adjustment, and the structure is more compact.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 15, in some possible embodiments of the present application, the lens 230 of the shooting assembly 200 is located at the circumferential side thereof, and in the folded state, the lens 230 faces the support assembly 100.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present application, the shooting assembly 200 can include a shell, a lens 230, an image sensor, etc., the lens 230 is connected to the shell, the shell can be a columnar structure, for example, a cylinder, a square column, a triangular prism, etc., and the lens 230 is arranged at the circumferential side of the shell, that is, the side of the shell parallel to the length direction thereof is provided with the lens 230.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present application, in the folded state, the lens 230 faces the support assembly 100, specifically, in the case that the shooting system is in the folded state, the shooting assembly 200 and the support assembly 100 have a side close to each other, and the lens 230 is located at the side of the shooting assembly 200 close to the support assembly 100, that is, the lens 230 is located between the shell of the shooting assembly 200 and the support assembly 100.

[0071] The technical scheme provided in the embodiments of the present application is that, in the case that the shooting system is in the folded state, the lens 230 located at the circumferential side of the shooting assembly 200 faces the support assembly 100, and the support assembly 100 provides protection for the lens 230, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the lens 230 caused by knocking, etc.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 14, FIG. 18 and FIG. 24, in some possible embodiments of the present application, in the unfolded state, the shooting assembly 200 and the support assembly 100 are coaxially arranged along the length direction.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present application, the coaxial arrangement specifically refers to the overlapping of the extension lines of the two axes, and the photographing assembly 200 and the supporting assembly 100 are coaxially arranged along the length direction, that is, the extension line of the central axis M4 of the photographing assembly 200 along the length direction overlaps the extension line of the central axis M5 of the supporting assembly 100 along the length direction.

[0074] It can be understood that, in the case that the lens 230 is arranged on the side of the photographing assembly 200, since the photographing assembly 200 and the supporting assembly 100 are coaxially arranged along the length direction, the supporting assembly 100 is closer to the central axis M5 of the photographing assembly 200 along the length direction, thereby reducing the visual angle obstruction of the supporting assembly 100 to the lens 230.

[0075] In some possible embodiments of the present application, the photographing assembly 200 is a panoramic camera, and the panoramic camera includes two fisheye lenses arranged opposite to each other, and the field of view (FOV) of the two fisheye lenses cooperates to realize the photographing of the surrounding spherical field of view. It can be understood that, in the case that the photographing assembly 200 and the supporting assembly 100 are coaxially arranged along the length direction, only a small part of the supporting assembly 100 is located in the blind area of the FOV of the two fisheye lenses, and the remaining large part of the supporting assembly 100 is located in the overlapping field of view of the FOV of the two fisheye lenses, and through the post-processing of the photographed image or video, the supporting assembly 100 can be hidden in the image or video, so as to improve the photographing effect.

[0169] In the embodiments of the present application, in the unfolded state, the angle between the rotating axis of the rotating piece and the preset axis X can be an acute angle, an obtuse angle, or a right angle. Referring to FIG. 24, in one possible embodiment of the present application, the rotating piece can be a third rotating part 323, and the rotating axis of the third rotating part 323 and the preset axis X are at a right angle or an approximately right angle.

[0170] The technical scheme provided in the embodiments of the present application folds the shooting assembly 200 and the support assembly 100 along the preset axis X to switch between the folded state and the unfolded state, and on this basis, the rotating piece is arranged, and the rotating axis of the rotating piece is arranged at an angle with the preset axis X, so that the shooting assembly 200 can rotate relative to the support assembly 100 around the rotating axis of the rotating piece, so that the shooting assembly 200 has more postures relative to the support assembly 100 to meet different shooting needs.

[0171] Referring to FIG. 19, FIG. 21 and FIG. 22, in some possible embodiments of the present application, the folding mechanism 300 further comprises a limiting structure provided with an abutting surface 700 configured to limit the stroke of the shooting assembly 200 and / or the support assembly 100 relative to the base 310.

It can be understood that the abutting surface 700 is arranged at an angle with the moving direction of the moving parts, for example, an acute angle, an obtuse angle or a right angle.

[0173] In an example, the abutting surface 700 is arranged corresponding to the rotating member, for example, the abutting surface 700 is arranged corresponding to the first rotating part 321, and the abutting surface 700 can be arranged along the radial direction of the first rotating part 321, for example, the inner wall of the sliding groove 314 forms the abutting surface 700, thereby abutting the first rotating part 321 from the circumferential direction to limit the rotating angle of the first rotating part 321.

[0174] In another example, the abutting surface 700 is arranged corresponding to the linear moving member, for example, the abutting surface 700 is arranged corresponding to the auxiliary gear 630, and the abutting surface 700 is arranged on the end surface of the auxiliary gear 630, that is, the abutting surface 700 is perpendicular to the central axis of the auxiliary gear 630, thereby limiting the movement of the auxiliary gear 630 along the central axis relative to the base 310.

[0175] The technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application sets the limiting structure, and the abutting surface 700 of the limiting structure can abut the shooting assembly 200 and / or the support assembly 100, thereby limiting the stroke of the shooting assembly 200 and / or the support assembly 100 relative to the base 310, so as to position the shooting assembly 200 and the support assembly 100 relative to each other.

[0176] Referring to FIG. 18 and FIG. 20, in some possible embodiments of the present application, the folding mechanism 300 further comprises a flexible member 800 connected to one of the shooting assembly 200 and the support assembly 100, and the base 310 is connected to the other one of the shooting assembly 200 and the support assembly 100; the flexible member 800 is sleeved with the base 310, and the flexible member 800 and the base 310 are slidable along the length direction, and the rigidity of the base 310 is greater than the rigidity of the flexible member 800.

[0177] In the embodiments of the present application, the flexible member 800 refers to a component with good deformation capability, which can be freely bent under external force. The flexible member 800 can be made of metal, rubber, fiber material, etc. It can be understood that, since the shooting assembly 200 and the supporting assembly 100 need to be relatively fixed when in use, the flexible member 800 should have good flexibility, i.e., after the external force is removed, the flexible member 800 can maintain the posture under the external force without elastic recovery, and the support force provided by the flexibility is greater than the force applied to the flexible member by the shooting assembly 200 or the supporting assembly 100 under the action of gravity, so that the flexible member 800 can maintain the relative positioning of the shooting assembly 200 and the supporting assembly 100 when the operator bends the flexible member 800 to an appropriate posture.

[0178] In the embodiments of the present application, the flexible member 800 is sleeved with the base body 310. The flexible member 800 can be sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the base body 310, or the base body 310 can be sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the flexible member 800. For example, the base body 310 has a tubular structure, the radial dimension of the flexible member 800 is smaller than the radial dimension of the base body 310, and the flexible member 800 is inserted into the base body 310 to realize the sleeving of the two.

[0179] In the embodiments of the present application, the rigidity of the base body 310 is greater than the rigidity of the flexible member 800, i.e., the base body 310 is not easy to be bent relative to the flexible member 800, and the flexible member 800 is more likely to deform relative to the base body 310. For example, the base body 310 is made of steel, plastic or other materials, and the flexible member 800 is made of rubber, flexible metal or other materials.

In the case where both the radial cross section of the flexible member 800 and the radial cross section of the base body 310 are circular, a limiting protrusion 312 and a limiting groove 810 can be arranged between the base body 310 and the flexible member 800 to limit the relative rotation of the two.

[0181] The technical scheme provided in the embodiments of the present application sets the flexible member 800, the flexible member 800 is sleeved with the base body 310, and the two can slide along the length direction. The part of the flexible member 800 inserted into the base body 310 is supported by the base body 310, and the part of the flexible member 800 sliding out of the base body 310 can be freely deformed to change the relative posture of the shooting assembly 200 and the supporting assembly 100.

[0183] In the embodiments of the present application, the first magnetic member 910 and the second magnetic member 920 can be permanent magnets or electromagnets. It can be understood that, when the first magnetic member 910 and the second magnetic member 920 are opposite to each other in polarity on one side, they attract each other, so as to relatively lock the movement of the shooting assembly 200 and the supporting assembly 100; when the first magnetic member 910 and the second magnetic member 920 are opposite to each other in polarity on one side, they repel each other, so as to drive the relative movement of the shooting assembly 200 and the supporting assembly 100.

[0184] In the embodiments of the present application, the first magnetic member 910 and the second magnetic member 920 have a plurality of possible installation positions, such as being connected to the shooting assembly 200, the supporting assembly 100, the base 310, the first rotating member, the second rotating member, the third rotating member, the operating member 331, the locking member 333, the flexible member 800, etc. It can be understood that the first magnetic member 910 and the second magnetic member 920 are connected to two members that can move relative to each other respectively. For example, the first magnetic member 910 is connected to the shooting assembly 200, and the second magnetic member 920 is connected to the supporting assembly 100.

[0185] The technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application is provided with the auxiliary assembly 900, the auxiliary assembly 900 comprising the first magnetic member 910 and the second magnetic member 920, the first magnetic member 910 and the second magnetic member 920 attracting and repelling each other, so as to relatively lock or move the shooting assembly 200 and the supporting assembly 100, thereby improving the convenience of operation and facilitating use.

[0186] It should be noted that the movement member can also be the flexible member 800, the first magnetic member 910 or the second magnetic member 920, etc., and the limiting structure can also be provided corresponding to the flexible member 800, the first magnetic member 910, the second magnetic member 920, etc. For example, the limiting surface is provided on the inner wall of the base 310, and the limiting surface is configured to abut against the flexible member 800, so as to limit the movement stroke of the flexible member 800 and reduce the possibility of the flexible member 800 sliding out of the base 310.

[0187] On this basis, the embodiment of the application further provides a control method of a shooting system, which is suitable for the shooting system, the shooting system comprising a shooting assembly and a detection assembly, the shooting system being capable of switching between a folded state and an unfolded state, and the detection assembly being capable of detecting the state of the shooting system. The execution subject of the method can be a controller in the shooting system, such as a central processing unit of the shooting assembly, and the control method comprises the following steps with reference to FIG. 27:

[0188] S100: generating a first signal in response to a case where the detection assembly detects that the shooting system switches to the folded state, or generating a second signal in response to a case where the detection assembly detects that the shooting system switches to the unfolded state;

[0189] S200: controlling the shooting assembly to enter a first working mode based on the first signal, or entering a second working mode based on the second signal.

[0191] In the embodiment of the application, the energy consumption of the shooting assembly in the first working mode is less than the energy consumption of the shooting assembly in the second working mode. Specifically, in the case where the shooting system switches to the unfolded state, the shooting assembly enters the second working mode based on the second signal, and the energy consumption of the second working mode can support various functional requirements of the shooting assembly, so as to facilitate the user to shoot; in the case where the shooting system is in the folded state, the shooting assembly enters the first working mode based on the first signal, that is, the shooting system works in the low-energy-consumption mode in the scene of temporary non-use or storage, so as to save energy and be more energy-saving.

[0192] In the embodiment of the application, the first working mode is a shutdown mode or a standby mode, and the second working mode is a startup mode or a video recording mode or a photographing mode. Here, the shutdown mode means that the power supply of the shooting assembly is turned off, and the shooting assembly is in a state of no energy consumption, which is suitable for the scene of long-time non-use of the shooting system; the standby mode means that the shooting assembly is in a low-energy-consumption mode, only maintains part of the basic functions, and can be quickly woken up to enter the state of the second working mode, which is suitable for the scene of temporary non-use of the shooting system.

[0193] The boot mode is a state in which all functions of the photographing assembly are ready for operation by the user and are quickly switched to the video recording mode or the photographing mode; the video recording mode refers to a mode in which the camera continuously works to record and output dynamic video; and the photographing mode refers to a mode in which the camera intermittently works to capture and output static images.
