Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] Referring to Figure 1, this application embodiment provides a handheld shooting device 100, which includes a handheld mechanism 10, a gimbal mechanism 20, and a load. The handheld mechanism 10 is for the user to hold and is generally handle-shaped. The handheld shooting device 100 also includes a power supply and control module (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to each other. The power supply and control module are integrated inside the handheld mechanism 10. The load, gimbal mechanism 20, and other components are communicatively connected to the control module to operate under its commands. The gimbal mechanism 20 is connected to the handheld mechanism 10, and the load is mounted on the gimbal mechanism 20. In this embodiment, the load includes a lens 30 for acquiring images of a target, such as a person, object, or landscape. The handheld shooting device 100 also includes an image processing module (not shown in the figure), integrated inside the handheld mechanism 10. The lens 30 is communicatively connected to the image processing module and can transmit the acquired images to the image processing module. In other embodiments, the load may include a radar, sensor, or other detection device. In practical applications, the user moves the gimbal mechanism 20 and the lens unit 30 using the handheld mechanism 10. The gimbal mechanism 20 drives the load to move relative to the handheld mechanism 10, thereby adjusting the posture of the lens unit 30 for shooting.

[0029] Referring to Figure 2, in this embodiment, the gimbal mechanism 20 includes a first shaft arm 21 and a first drive mechanism 23. The first shaft arm 21 is connected to the handheld mechanism 10, and the first drive mechanism 23 is mounted on the first shaft arm 21. The lens section 30 is driveably connected to the first drive mechanism 23, which can drive the lens section 30 to rotate around the first axis A. In this embodiment, there are two lens sections 30, which are arranged along the direction defined by the first axis A. The first drive mechanism 23 is disposed between the two lens sections 30 and is driveably connected to each of the two lens sections 30. Each lens section 30 can rotate around the first axis A under the drive of the first drive mechanism 23. In this embodiment, each lens section 30 includes a lens 34, and each lens 34 has an optical axis D. The angle between the optical axis D and the first axis A is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°, such as 90°, 60°, 45°, 30°, 15°, etc. In practical applications, a target is selected and placed within the overlapping field of view of the two lenses 34. Each lens 30 can capture different details and perspectives of the target, thus ensuring that the image data provided by the two lenses can be seamlessly stitched together during image processing module stitching and synthesis to generate high-resolution and detail-rich images, meeting the requirements of high-precision imaging and detail capture.

[0030] In this embodiment, the two lenses 34 of the two lens units 30 can be a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens, respectively. The wide-angle lens can capture images of the target and its surrounding environment over a large area, while the telephoto lens can capture close-up shots of distant targets, providing high-detail, high-resolution imaging effects. Each lens unit 30 transmits its captured images to the image processing module. The image processing module uses techniques such as geometric correction, feature matching, and multi-scale fusion to stitch and synthesize the wide-angle and telephoto images. The resulting image not only covers a large shooting scene but also ensures that the target is in a high-resolution, clear state within the final image. Therefore, in scenarios such as shooting landscape photos and group photos, this embodiment can provide a wider field of view and richer detail information, exhibiting significant technical advantages. It should be noted that: a wide-angle lens refers to a lens with a large angle of view, including standard wide-angle lenses and ultra-wide-angle lenses; a telephoto lens refers to a lens capable of capturing detailed images of distant objects, including medium telephoto lenses and super telephoto lenses. In summary, this embodiment provides a handheld shooting device 100, which includes a handheld mechanism 10, a gimbal mechanism 20, and two lens units 30. The gimbal mechanism 20 is mounted on the handheld mechanism 10. Specifically, the gimbal mechanism 20 includes a first drive mechanism 23 and a first shaft arm 21. The first shaft arm 21 is connected to the handheld mechanism 10, and the first drive mechanism 23 is mounted on the first shaft arm 21. The first drive mechanism 23 can drive the load to rotate around a first axis A. The two lens units 30 are arranged sequentially along the direction defined by the first axis A. The first drive mechanism 23 is located between the two lens units 30 and is transmittedly connected to each of the two lens units 30. Each lens unit 30 can rotate around the first axis A under the drive of the first drive mechanism 23. In this embodiment, each lens unit 30 includes a lens 34, and the angle between the optical axis D of the lens 34 and the first axis A is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°.

[0031] In this embodiment, the handheld shooting device 100 includes two lens units 30, which can independently capture images of the target. This embodiment has the following technical advantages: (1) It provides richer and more accurate depth information, providing basic data support for 3D imaging and augmented reality (AR) applications; (2) It achieves wider field of view coverage, reduces the frequency of device adjustments, and thus improves the continuity and integrity of shooting in large scenes; (3) The two lens units can handle different exposures and focal lengths respectively, optimize the image processing effect in high dynamic range (HDR) scenes, and improve the overall image quality and detail performance; (4) It supports multi-functional intelligent shooting such as stereoscopic photography, real-time background blurring, and depth measurement, enhancing the professionalism and playability of the device. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the two lens units 30 are respectively positioned on both sides of the first drive mechanism 23. First, the load of the two lens units 30 is evenly distributed to the first drive mechanism 23, avoiding eccentric wear or excessive energy consumption caused by excessive load on one side, thus helping to extend the motor's lifespan. Second, placing the first drive mechanism 23 between the two lens units 30 optimizes the overall balance of the gimbal, reducing tilting and vibration problems caused by uneven weight distribution, and improving the operational and imaging stability of the device. Third, this design maximizes the use of limited space, making the entire gimbal mechanism 20 more compact. The first drive mechanism 23 being located in the middle helps reduce the overall system size, enhances the portability of the handheld device, and increases the user's shooting flexibility in complex or mobile scenarios. Fourth, the first drive mechanism 23 enables the two lens units 30 to work together more efficiently, broadening the application scenarios for multi-functional shooting.

[0032] During use, the user holds the handheld mechanism 10, which extends approximately vertically. This embodiment will describe the posture of the handheld shooting device 100 in different modes based on the vertical extension of the handheld mechanism 10. Specifically, the handheld shooting device 100 has multiple modes, including at least a power-off mode and a power-on mode. The power-off mode means that both lens units 30, the gimbal mechanism 20, and the control module are all powered off. The power-on mode means that both lens units 30, the gimbal mechanism 20, and the control module are all powered on. In the power-on mode, the gimbal mechanism 20 is activated after power-on, and the lens units 30 capture images in real time, but the handheld shooting device 100 does not initiate any shooting commands at this time.

[0033] Referring to Figure 3, in this embodiment, when the handheld shooting device 100 is in the off mode, the direction of the first axis A is approximately consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10, that is, the direction of the first axis A is approximately consistent with the vertical direction. The two lens portions 30 are arranged vertically to reduce the size of the handheld shooting device 100 in the horizontal direction, so as to facilitate the storage of the handheld shooting device 100. For example, when the handheld shooting device 100 is in the off state and stored in the storage bag, setting the direction of the first axis A to be approximately consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10 can reduce the degree of protrusion of the handheld shooting device 100 in directions other than the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 100, avoid unevenness on the outer surface of the storage bag, and improve the aesthetics of the handheld shooting device 100 when stored.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1, when the handheld mechanism 10 is in the power-on mode, the direction of the first axis A is approximately perpendicular to the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10, that is, the direction of the first axis A is approximately horizontal. The two lens sections 30 are arranged horizontally so that the heights of the two lens sections 30 and the two lenses 34 are consistent. In this embodiment, the handheld shooting device 100 can enter the corresponding working mode by receiving different shooting commands from the control module in the power-on mode. When the handheld shooting device 100 is in the working mode, the direction of the first axis A can be approximately consistent with the horizontal direction, or approximately consistent with the vertical direction. Alternatively, depending on the actual shooting requirements, the direction of the first axis A can be between the horizontal and vertical directions. That is, the first axis A and the straight line in the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10 can form a perpendicular relationship, a parallel relationship, or an angle between the two between 0° and 90°.

[0035] Referring to Figure 3, the handheld shooting device 100 in this embodiment may also include a standby mode. Standby mode refers to a state where at least the control module is powered on, while other power-consuming components such as the lens 30 and gimbal mechanism 20 are powered off. In actual application scenarios, the power-consuming components powered on in standby mode can be specifically set according to actual needs. The standby mode of the handheld shooting device 100 can refer to a state where the user is not using components such as the lens 30 and gimbal mechanism 20 for shooting. Under this setting, the handheld shooting device 100 is in standby mode, which can turn off power-consuming components such as the lens 30 and gimbal mechanism 20, reducing power consumption and extending the usage time of the handheld shooting device 100. In this embodiment, the handheld shooting device 100 has a standby mode. When the gimbal is not used for a long time, putting it into standby mode can avoid overheating or other potential problems caused by continuous motor operation. It can also turn off unnecessary sensors and motors, reducing power consumption and thus extending the device's usage time. Furthermore, the recovery from standby mode to power-on mode is usually quick, allowing immediate resumption of shooting and avoiding prolonged restarts, thus improving the user experience. In this embodiment, the handheld mechanism 10 further includes an operation unit 11, which is electrically connected to the two lens units 30. The operation unit 11 can be a button, touch screen, or other structure. The operation unit 11 can be directly electrically connected to the lens units 30, or it can be electrically connected to the two lens units 30 through a control module. In this embodiment, the operation unit 11 is electrically connected to the control module. The operation unit 11 can switch the mode of the handheld shooting device 100 through the control module, and can also control the gimbal mechanism 20 to adjust the posture of the two lens units 30 through the control module. It can also adjust the focal length, optical / digital scaling parameters, shutter speed, aperture parameters, ISO, and other parameters of the handheld shooting device 100 through the control module.

[0036] When the handheld shooting device 100 is in standby mode, the direction of the first axis A is approximately consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10, that is, the direction of the first axis A is approximately consistent with the vertical direction. Under normal circumstances, the handheld shooting device 100 is still held by the user in standby mode. Setting the direction of the first axis A to be approximately consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10 can reduce the horizontal size of the handheld shooting device 100, reduce the probability of the lens part 30 colliding with external structures (such as pedestrians, buildings, plants, etc.), and thus protect the lens part 30.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, and 4. In this embodiment, the gimbal mechanism 20 further includes a second axis arm 22 and a second drive mechanism (not shown in the figures). The second axis arm 22 is connected to the handheld mechanism 10. The first axis arm 21 is rotatably mounted on the second axis arm 22 via the second drive mechanism. The second drive mechanism is used to drive the first axis arm 21 and the two lens units 30 to move, so that the two lens units 30 can switch between modes such as power-off mode, power-on mode, standby mode, and working mode. Specifically, the second drive mechanism can drive the first axis arm 21 to rotate around the second axis B. In the application environment defined above, the direction of the second axis B in this embodiment is approximately perpendicular to the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second axis B is perpendicular to the first axis A. In actual application environments, the initial mode of the handheld shooting device 100 is set to the off mode. When the user switches the handheld shooting device 100 from the off mode to the on mode, the second drive mechanism is configured to drive the first shaft arm 21 to rotate around the second axis B. During the switching process, the first shaft arm 21 and the two lens parts 30 rotate around the second axis B under the drive of the second drive mechanism until the direction of the first axis A is perpendicular to the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10, and the two lens parts 30 are arranged horizontally. When the user switches the handheld shooting device 100 from the on mode (or working mode) to the off mode, the second drive mechanism is configured to drive the first shaft arm 21 to rotate around the second axis B. During the switching process, the first shaft arm 21 and the two lens parts 30 rotate around the second axis B under the drive of the second drive mechanism until the direction of the first axis A is consistent with the extension direction (vertical direction) of the handheld mechanism 10, and the two lens parts 30 are arranged along the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. When the user switches the handheld shooting device 100 from the power-on mode (or working mode) to the standby mode, the second drive mechanism is configured to drive the first shaft arm 21 to rotate around the second axis B. During the switching process, the first shaft arm 21 and the two lens parts 30 rotate around the second axis B under the drive of the second drive mechanism until the direction of the first axis A is consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10, and the two lens parts 30 are arranged along the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10.

[0039] It should be noted that when the handheld shooting device 100 is in working mode and capturing images of the target, it typically transitions directly from working mode to power-off or standby mode. The first axis arm 21 can be driven to rotate around the second axis B based on the relationship between the direction of the first axis A and the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10, thereby switching the handheld shooting device 100 from working mode to power-off or standby mode. There are also scenarios where the user is debugging or demonstrating the handheld shooting device 100. In these scenarios, the user can switch the handheld shooting device 100's mode in the order of "power-off mode, power-on mode, power-off mode (or standby mode)".

[0040] In this embodiment, the first shaft arm 21 is located between the two lens sections 30. The first shaft arm 21 and the handheld mechanism 10 are arranged at intervals approximately along the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. The first shaft arm 21 is connected to the handheld mechanism 10 via the second shaft arm 22. There is a space between the first shaft arm 21 and the handheld mechanism 10 to accommodate the lens sections 30. Specifically, when the handheld shooting device 100 switches from the power-on mode (or working mode) to the power-off mode, the second drive mechanism is configured to drive the first shaft arm 21 to rotate, so that the first shaft arm 21 and the two lens sections 30 rotate around the second axis B until the direction of the first axis A is consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. At this time, the two lens sections 30 are arranged along the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. In this state, either of the two lens sections 30 is located in the space between the first shaft arm 21 and the handheld mechanism 10. When the handheld shooting device 100 switches from the power-on mode (or working mode) to the standby mode, the second drive mechanism is configured to drive the first shaft arm 21 to rotate, so that the first shaft arm 21 and the two lens parts 30 rotate around the second axis B, until the direction of the first axis A is consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. At this time, the two lens parts 30 are arranged along the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. In this state, either of the two lens parts 30 is located in the space between the first shaft arm 21 and the handheld mechanism 10.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the handheld shooting device 100 is in power-off or standby mode, one of the two lens units 30 is located in the space between the first axis arm 21 and the handheld mechanism 10. This improves the space utilization of the handheld shooting device 100 in power-off or standby mode, resulting in a miniaturized appearance. Furthermore, the lens unit 30 located between the first axis arm 21 and the handheld mechanism 10 can withstand some external impact forces through the first axis arm 21, the second axis arm 22, and the handheld mechanism 10, thus protecting the structure of the lens unit 30.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first arm 21 is a straight structure, and the second arm 22 is a curved structure. The extension direction of the first arm 21 relative to the second arm 22 is approximately the same as or coincides with the direction of the second axis B. One end of the second arm 22 is connected to the handheld mechanism 10, and the other end extends in a direction away from the handheld mechanism 10 and radially along the handheld mechanism 10. The radial direction of the handheld mechanism 10 refers to the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. In this embodiment, the structure formed by the first arm 21 and the second arm 22 is approximately "C" shaped. When the handheld shooting device 100 is in power-off mode or standby mode, the lens 30 is located within the space defined by the first arm 21 and the second arm 22.

[0043] In this embodiment, the two lenses 34 are located on the same side of the handheld shooting device 100. When the handheld shooting device 100 is powered on, the two lens sections 30 are arranged horizontally. The optical axes D of the two lenses 34 may not be parallel, and the included angle between the two optical axes D can be greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 90°. The optical axes D of the two lenses 34 may also be parallel, that is, the two lenses 34 face the same direction. In this embodiment, the two lenses 34 are set to face the same direction. When the handheld shooting device 100 switches from the powered-on mode (or working mode) to the powered-off mode (or standby mode), the direction of the first axis A is consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. The two lens sections 30 are arranged approximately along the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. Either of the two lens sections 30 is located within the space defined by the first axis arm 21 and the second axis arm 22. In this embodiment, the two lens sections 30 can be driven to rotate around the first axis A by the first driving mechanism 23 so that the lens 34 faces the second axis arm 22.

[0044] In this embodiment, the image processing module can generate a stereoscopic image using images captured by two lenses 34. In this embodiment, the optical axis D of the lenses 34 is set to be perpendicular to the first axis A, the optical axes of the two lenses 34 are parallel to each other, and the focal lengths of the two lenses 34 are set to the same focal length. With this configuration, the two lenses 34 are oriented in the same direction to ensure that the captured images, while slightly different in perspective, are essentially the same, effectively simulating the parallax of the human eye and thus creating a stereoscopic effect. The identical focal lengths of the two lenses 34 help to create a consistent perspective and depth of field in the final stereoscopic image. In the process of realizing a stereoscopic image, other factors can also be considered, such as ensuring that the apertures of the two lenses are as consistent as possible to obtain similar exposure and depth of field, which helps the two images from the two lenses 34 to have similar brightness and depth of field effects; another example is the baseline distance between the optical centers of the two lenses 34, which is called the baseline length and plays a crucial role in stereoscopic photography. Specifically, a larger baseline length can enhance the sense of depth and space in the stereoscopic image because the increased parallax makes the differences between the left and right images more obvious, thereby enhancing the three-dimensional visual effect. However, an excessively long baseline distance may result in an unnatural stereoscopic effect or cause visual fatigue. Therefore, the choice of baseline length needs to be adjusted appropriately according to application requirements and scene characteristics in order to achieve a natural and realistic stereoscopic image of the target.

[0045] In this embodiment, the gimbal mechanism 20 further includes a third drive mechanism (not shown in the figure). The second arm 22 is connected to the handheld mechanism 10 via the third drive mechanism. The third drive mechanism can drive the second arm 22 and other components connected to the second arm 22 (first arm 21, lens 30, etc.) to rotate around the third axis C. In this embodiment, the two lens 30 can be adjusted to various postures through the first drive mechanism 23, the second drive mechanism, and the third drive mechanism to meet shooting requirements. When the two lens 30 are required to maintain a certain posture, the gimbal mechanism 20 can stabilize the lens 30 in three directions to ensure shooting effect. In the application environment defined above, the direction of the third axis C in this embodiment is consistent with the vertical direction, that is, the direction of the third axis C in this embodiment is approximately consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. As can be seen from the above, the direction of the second axis B in this embodiment is perpendicular to the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10, and the second axis B is perpendicular to the first axis A. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second axis B is perpendicular to both the first axis A and the third axis C.

[0046] In this embodiment, the third axis C and the first axis A have two critical relationships.

[0047] The first critical relationship occurs when the handheld shooting device 100 is powered on. The direction of the first axis A is perpendicular to the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. Therefore, the first axis A is perpendicular to the third axis C. It should be noted that whether the first axis A and the third axis C are coplanar is related to the configuration of the gimbal mechanism 20, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations here. As for the relationship between the first axis A and the third axis C in the working mode, as can be seen from the preceding text, the included angle between the first axis A and the third axis C is greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 90°.

[0048] The second critical relationship occurs when the handheld shooting device 100 is in a powered-off state (or standby state), and the direction of the first axis A is consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10. Therefore, the first axis A is parallel to or coincides with the third axis C. It should be noted that whether the first axis A and the third axis C coincide is related to the configuration of the gimbal mechanism 20, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0049] Therefore, in this embodiment, when the handheld shooting device 100 switches from the power-on mode (or working mode) to the power-off mode (or standby mode), the second drive mechanism is configured to drive the first shaft arm 21 to rotate until the first axis A is parallel to or coincides with the third axis C; when the handheld shooting device 100 switches from the power-off mode (or standby mode) to the power-on mode, the second drive mechanism is configured to drive the first shaft arm 21 to rotate until the first axis A is perpendicular to the third axis C.

[0050] In summary, the relationships between the various directions derived from the handheld shooting device 100 are summarized above. Specifically, the third axis C is perpendicular to the second axis B, the second axis B is perpendicular to the first axis A, and the relationship between the first axis A and the third axis C is related to the mode of the handheld shooting device 100, as detailed above. In this embodiment, the direction of the third axis C is approximately consistent with the extension direction of the handheld mechanism 10, and the extension direction of the first axis arm 21 is approximately consistent with the direction of the second axis B. In other embodiments, these two directional relationships are not limited, and the handheld mechanism 10 and the first axis arm 21 can have other forms. In order to facilitate the description of each direction, an application environment was established and horizontal and vertical directions were introduced above. If the application environment is ignored, the horizontal direction should be understood as the direction perpendicular to the direction of the third axis C, and the vertical direction should be understood as the direction consistent with the direction of the third axis C. In other embodiments, the relationship between the first axis A, the second axis B, and the third axis C is not limited. The configuration of components such as the first axis arm 21 and the second axis arm 22 can be set to achieve that the two lens parts 30 are arranged in the horizontal direction in the power-on mode, and that the two lens parts 30 are arranged in the vertical direction in the power-off mode or standby mode.

[0051] The specific structures of the two lens sections 30 will be introduced next, along with the cooperation relationship between the lens section 30, the first drive mechanism 23, and the first shaft arm 21.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 5. In this embodiment, the lens unit 30 includes the lens 34 mentioned above, and also includes a housing 33. In this embodiment, the housing 33 can be a plastic structure or a metal structure. The housing 33 has an outer peripheral side 331, which is arranged around the first axis A. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral side 331 of the housing 33 is partially hollowed out, and the lens 34 is exposed through the hollowed-out portion on the housing 33. The lens 34 can be located inside the housing 33 and exposed through the hollowed-out portion, or it can be inserted through the hollowed-out portion to partially extend outside the housing 33, so as to reduce the influence of the housing 33 on the field of view of the lens 34, so that the lens 34 has a larger field of view. This embodiment does not limit the shape of the housing 33. For example, in this embodiment, the housing 33 is roughly in the shape of a prism, that is, the outer peripheral side 331 of the housing 33 is parallel to the axis of the prism, and the axis of the prism is parallel to or coincides with the first axis A, so that the outer peripheral side 331 of the housing 33 is parallel to the first axis A. In this embodiment, the housing 33 further has two end faces 332, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the outer peripheral side surface 331 on the first axis A. The two end faces 332 and the outer peripheral side surface 331 generally form a sealed environment for accommodating the lens 34. In this embodiment, each end face 332 can be a plane or a curved surface. In other embodiments, the outer peripheral side surface 331 is generally part of a spherical surface, and the two end faces 332 are smoothly connected to the outer peripheral side surface 331, making the housing 33 spherical. In still some embodiments, the housing 33 can also be configured to have other shapes, and correspondingly, the end faces 332 and the outer peripheral side surface 331 are adjusted to correspond to the shape of the housing 33. In this embodiment, the lens 34 is disposed inside the housing 33 so that it can be protected by the housing 33 to avoid direct collision with external structures. The housing 33 can withstand some of the external impacts on the lens 34, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the lens 34.

[0053] In this embodiment, the optical axes D of the two lenses 34 are in various relationships. As one example, the optical axes D of the two lenses 34 are parallel. In this example, the angle between the optical axis D of the lens 34 and the first axis A can be greater than 0° and less than 90°; it can also be 90°. For example, in this embodiment, the optical axis D of the lens 34 is perpendicular to the first axis A. As another example, the optical axes D of the two lenses 34 are not parallel.

[0054] In this embodiment, there is only one first drive mechanism 23. The two lens sections 30 face the same direction and are connected to the same first drive mechanism 23. Therefore, in practical applications, the first drive mechanism 23 can drive the two lens sections 30 to rotate synchronously, achieving synchronous pitch control and facilitating the attitude control of the two lens sections 30. In this embodiment, the two lenses 34 face the same direction and rotate synchronously. This helps ensure consistency of the captured content across different lenses, avoiding image misalignment or shakiness. Only one first drive mechanism 23 is used to synchronously control the pitch movement of the two lens sections 30, eliminating the need for separate control of each lens 34 and simplifying the product structure.

[0055] Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, the two lenses 34 face opposite directions and are collectively referred to as the "front and rear lenses." The front and rear lenses rotate synchronously under the drive of the first drive mechanism 23. Assuming the direction of the first axis A is aligned with the horizontal direction in the application environment, the two lens units 30 perform pitch motion around the first axis A under the drive of the first drive mechanism 23. Each lens unit 30 can achieve a complete vertical plane scan, thereby providing a panoramic image in the pitch direction. This is particularly advantageous for achieving 360° panoramic shooting; by combining panoramic images in both the horizontal and vertical directions, a spatial panoramic image can be realized. Furthermore, since the front and rear lenses are controlled by the same first drive mechanism 23, the synchronous movement of the two lenses 34 is ensured. This simplifies operation and control logic, reduces design complexity and cost, and also guarantees synchronization during shooting in the front-back, up-down, and left-right directions. In handheld shooting mechanisms used for motion analysis or sports video recording, the front and rear lenses can capture the omnidirectional movement of the target object, simultaneously capturing the details of the athlete's movements from two directions, enabling comprehensive analysis and playback of the movement trajectory.

[0056] Referring to Figure 7, in this embodiment, the two lenses 34 are defined as the first lens 341 and the second lens 342, respectively. The field of view of the first lens 341 is greater than 180°, and the field of view of the second lens 342 is greater than 180°. When the two lenses 34 are set to face opposite directions, their field of view ranges are located on opposite sides of the handheld shooting device 100 and overlap, enabling the handheld shooting device 100 to acquire a panoramic image. In this embodiment, the distance between the two lenses 34 in the direction of the first axis A is fixed, that is, the distance between the optical centers of the two lenses 34 is fixed, so that the control module can fuse the images captured by the two lenses 34, reducing the computational difficulty. In this embodiment, the distance between the two lenses can be specifically set by considering the size of the housing 33, the configuration and size of the gimbal mechanism 20, the size of the handle mechanism 10, and the preset shooting effect.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first lens 341 has a first field of view Q1, and the second lens 342 has a second field of view Q2. The first field of view Q1 and the second field of view Q2 intersect to form a blind spot Q3. When the handheld shooting device 100 is in standby mode, power-on mode, or working mode, the housings 33 of both lens units 30 are located within the blind spot Q3 to prevent other structures of the lens units 30 (such as the housings 33) from obstructing the field of view of the two lenses 34 and affecting the panoramic shooting effect. In practical application scenarios, the posture of the two lens units 30 can be set so that the gimbal mechanism 20 and the handheld mechanism 10 are also located within the blind spot Q3, thus preventing the gimbal mechanism 20 and the handheld mechanism 10 from affecting the panoramic shooting effect of the two lenses 34. In some embodiments, the lens 34 is located at the end of the housing 33 away from the first drive mechanism 23 to reduce the interference of the housing 33 on the shooting effect of the lens 34.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two lenses 34 may include fisheye lenses, which are ultra-wide-angle lenses with a large field of view. Each lens 34 protrudes relative to the corresponding housing 33, and the optical axis of the lens 34 and the straight line in the protrusion direction are approximately coincident. The optical axis D of the lens 34 is approximately perpendicular to the first axis A, so that the housing 33 falls within the blind zone, avoiding the housing 33 from entering the field of view of the lens 34 and affecting the imaging effect. In some embodiments, the lens 34 can be movably mounted on the housing, and the lens 34 can move relative to the housing 33 along the extension direction, so that the lens 34 can switch between a state protruding from the housing 34 and a state retracted into the housing 33. For example, the lens 34 is in a protruding state in the working mode or power-on mode, and in a retracted state in the standby mode or power-off mode, so as to reduce the size of the handheld shooting device 100 and facilitate storage. In practical applications, the lens 34 can be driven by electronic components such as linear motors and linkage structures, which improves the intelligence of the handheld shooting device 100. The lens 34 can also be manually operated to change its posture, thereby reducing components, simplifying the structure, and lowering production costs.

[0059] In some embodiments with "front and rear lenses", the optical axis D of lens 34 may not be perpendicular to the first axis A, and the angle between the optical axis D of lens 34 and the first axis A is greater than 0° and less than 90°. The first lens 341 deflects in a direction away from the first driving mechanism 23, and the second lens 342 deflects in a direction away from the first driving mechanism 23, so that the two housings 33, as well as the gimbal mechanism 20 and the handheld mechanism 10, can avoid the first field of view Q1 and the second field of view Q2 and be located within the blind zone Q3.

[0060] In this embodiment, the shape of the housing 33 can be adjusted according to the field of view and field area of ​​the lens 34. For example, the housing 33 can be set as a conical structure or a frustum-shaped structure. The size of the end of the housing 33 away from the first driving mechanism 23 is smaller than the size of the end of the housing 33 close to the first driving mechanism 23, so that the shape of the housing 33 adapts to the field of view of the lens 34 and is located outside the field of view.

[0061] In this embodiment, the two lenses 34 include fisheye lenses, which have a large field of view. This embodiment does not limit the specific angles of the field of view (FOV1) of the first lens 341 and the field of view (FOV2) of the second lens 342. For example, the angle of the field of view (FOV1) of the first lens 341 can fall within any of the following angle ranges: (180°, 190°), [190°, 200°], [200°, 220°], [220°, 240°]. For example, the angle of the field of view (FOV1) of the first lens 341 can be 185°, 190°, 195°, 200°, 210°, 215°, 220°, 230°, 240°, etc. The angle of the field of view (FOV2) of the second lens 342 can fall within any of the following angle ranges: (180°, 190°), [190°, 200°], […]. [200°, 220°], [220°, 240°]. The field of view (FOV2) of the second lens 342 can be 185°, 190°, 195°, 200°, 210°, 215°, 220°, 230°, 240°, etc. The field of view (FOV2) of the second lens 342 can be the same as or different from the field of view (FOV1) of the first lens 341. For example, when the field of view (FOV1) of the first lens 341 is 190°, the field of view (FOV2) of the second lens 342 can be 200°, 210°, 215°, etc. In embodiments where the lens 34 includes a fisheye lens, the two lenses 34 do not need to be in opposite positions. Two fisheye lenses with suitable field of view can be selected so that even when the orientations of the two fisheye lenses are not opposite, the two field of view areas can overlap to achieve 360° panoramic shooting.

[0062] The first field of view Q1 and the second field of view Q2 intersect to form an overlapping area Q4. The angle of the overlapping area Q4 can fall within any of the following angle ranges: (0°, 5°), [5°, 10°], [10°, 20°], [20°, 40°], [40°, 60°]. For example, the angle of the overlapping area Q4 can be 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, etc.

[0063] In this embodiment, the transmission connection between the two lens sections 30 and the same first drive mechanism 23 can take various forms, as detailed below.

[0064] Referring to Figure 8, as an example, the first drive mechanism 23 includes a stator 232 and a mover 231 that are rotatably coupled. The mover 231 has two output ends 2311, and two lens parts 30 are respectively connected to the two output ends 2311. The mover 231 can rotate relative to the stator 232 about a first axis A, so as to drive the two lens parts 30 to rotate about the first axis A respectively. In this embodiment, the structures of the mover 231 and the stator 232 of different types of first drive mechanisms 23 are different. For example, if the first drive mechanism 23 is an internal rotor double-outlet motor, then the mover 231 is the rotating shaft of the internal rotor double-outlet motor, and both ends of the rotating shaft extend outside the internal rotor double-outlet motor. The two lens parts 30 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft. In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 23 is an external rotor motor. The stator 232 is the stator shaft of the internal rotor motor, and the mover 231 is the external rotor yoke of the external rotor motor. The two ends of the external rotor yoke in the first direction are two output terminals 2311, and the two lens sections 30 are respectively connected to the two ends of the external rotor yoke. This embodiment uses an external rotor motor, which has a compact structure, occupies little space, and achieves the miniaturization of the handheld shooting device 100. The external rotor motor has high torque, easily driving the lens section 30 to rotate, and operates with low noise, avoiding noise recording during shooting. The types of the second and third drive mechanisms mentioned above can be selected according to actual needs; for example, they can be pulse motors, stepper motors, etc.

[0065] In this embodiment, one of the two lens sections 30 is connected to the first drive mechanism 23. Specifically, referring to Figure 9, in this embodiment, the two lens sections 30 are defined as the first lens section 31 and the second lens section 32, respectively. The first lens 341 is mounted on the first lens section 31, and the second lens 342 is mounted on the second lens section 32. The first lens section 31 is connected to the first drive mechanism 23, and the second lens section 32 is anti-rotationally connected to the first lens section 31, so as to be connected to the first drive mechanism 23 through the first lens section 31. The anti-rotation connection means that the second lens section 32 is relatively fixed to the first lens section 31, and the second lens section 32 rotates as the first lens section 31 rotates. With the configuration of this embodiment, the step of assembling the first drive mechanism 23 and the second lens section 32 can be eliminated, which can reduce the design cost, reduce the structural complexity of the second lens section 32, and facilitate production. The two lens sections 30 are connected and respectively set on both sides of the first drive mechanism 23, making their movement more stable and improving the overall stability of the handheld shooting device 100. The first drive mechanism 23 can be either an external rotor motor or an internal rotor single-head motor. The internal rotor single-head motor is cheaper and can reduce product costs.

[0066] Referring to Figure 10, in this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 23 can drive the load to rotate around the first axis A, and the two lens parts 30 are respectively located on both sides of the first drive mechanism 23 along the first axis. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first lens part 31 includes a first mating part 333, and the second lens part 32 includes a second mating part 334. The first mating part 333 and the second mating part 334 are connected to each other so that the two lens parts 30 are connected at the interval of the first drive mechanism 23 to prevent rotation. In this embodiment, the first mating part 333 may be a part of the housing 33 of the first lens part 31, or it may be an independent structure connected to the housing 33 of the first lens part 31; the second mating part 334 may be a part of the housing 33 of the second lens part 32, or it may be an independent structure connected to the housing 33 of the second lens part 32.

[0067] In this embodiment, the connection method between the first mating part 333 and the second mating part 334 is related to their structure. As an example, the first mating part 333 is a protruding structure extending toward the second lens part 32, and the second mating part 334 is a protruding structure extending toward the first lens part 31. The first mating part 333 and the second mating part 334 can shorten the distance between the first lens part 31 and the second lens part 32, and the first mating part 333 and the second mating part 334 can be connected by bonding, welding, or hot melting.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first mating part 333 is a groove structure provided on the housing 33 of the first lens part 31, and the second mating part 334 is a part of the housing 33 of the second lens part 32 and has a protrusion-shaped structure. The second mating part 334 extends toward the first lens part 31, and the first mating part 333 and the second mating part 334 engage to achieve an anti-rotation connection between the first lens part 31 and the second lens part 32. With this configuration, the anti-rotation connection between the first lens part 31 and the second lens part 32 can be achieved relatively easily, and assembly and disassembly are both easy. In some embodiments, the first mating part 333 can be a protrusion-shaped structure, and the second mating part 334 can be a groove structure. In still other embodiments, the first mating part 333 includes both a groove structure and a protrusion-shaped structure, and the second mating part 334 includes both a groove structure and a protrusion-shaped structure. The first mating part 333 and the second mating part 334 interlock to achieve an anti-rotation connection between the first lens part 31 and the second lens part 32, making the anti-rotation connection relationship more stable.

[0069] Referring to Figure 11, in this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 23 is mounted on the first shaft arm 21, and the first lens portion 31 is mounted on the first shaft arm 21 via the first drive mechanism 23. The gimbal mechanism 20 in this embodiment also includes a rotating member 40, which is rotatably mounted on the first shaft arm 21. The rotating member 40 is located on the side of the first shaft arm 21 facing the second lens portion 32. The second lens portion 32 is connected to the rotating member 40 to establish a connection with the first shaft arm 21. Both the second lens portion 32 and the rotating member 40 can rotate relative to the first shaft arm 21 around the first axis A. In practical applications, the first shaft arm 21 can support the second lens portion 32 via the rotating member, preventing the first drive mechanism 23 from becoming structurally unstable due to the load of two lens portions 30, thus enabling both lens portions 30 to rotate stably around the first axis A. In this embodiment, the rotating component 40 can be a bearing. A groove is provided on the side of the first shaft arm 21 facing the second lens portion 32, and the bearing is installed in the groove. At least a part of the bearing structure can rotate around the first axis A. The second lens portion 32 is connected to this rotatable part of the structure so that a portion of the weight of the second lens portion 32 can be transferred to the relatively stable first shaft arm 21. In this embodiment, the first shaft arm 21 and the second shaft arm 22 are made of high-strength materials, such as aluminum alloy or hard plastic. In other embodiments, the rotating component 40 can be a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the first shaft arm 22, and the axis of the rotating shaft coincides with the first axis A. The other end of the rotating shaft is rotatably embedded in the second lens portion 32. In other embodiments, the rotating component 40 can also be provided between the first lens portion 31 and the first shaft arm 21 to reduce the load on the first drive mechanism 23 and save energy.

[0070] In other embodiments, there are two first drive mechanisms 23 (not shown in the figure). The two first drive mechanisms 23 are disposed on the first shaft arm 21, and the two lens parts 30 are respectively connected to the two first drive mechanisms 23. Each first drive mechanism 23 can drive the corresponding lens part 30 to rotate, so as to realize the asynchronous movement of the two lens parts 30. Under the configuration of this embodiment, the two lens parts 30 can face different directions and can be controlled independently, which provides users with multi-angle and multi-directional shooting possibilities. For example, the orientation of the lens 34 of the two lens parts 30 can be front and back, front and up, back and down, front and left, right and down, etc. This embodiment is suitable for scenarios that require panoramic, 3D modeling, multi-view shooting, etc., and can meet more complex shooting needs, making the handheld shooting device 100 have a wider range of applications.

[0071] Referring to Figure 12, in this embodiment, the handheld shooting device 100 further includes a first wire 50 and a second wire 60. This embodiment does not limit the number of the first wire 50 and the second wire 60; the number can be set according to actual wiring requirements. For example, at least one first wire 50 can be provided for electrical connection between the first lens section 31 and the control module within the handheld mechanism 10, or at least one first wire 50 can be provided for electrical connection between the first lens section 31 and the power supply; at least one second wire 60 can be provided for electrical connection between the second lens section 32 and the control module, or at least one second wire 60 can be provided for electrical connection between the second lens section 32 and the power supply. In this embodiment, the second shaft arm 22 has a hollow structure, and the first shaft arm 21 is provided with a wire channel 211. One end of the first wire 50 is connected to the control module and / or the power supply, and the other end passes through the handheld mechanism 10 and sequentially passes through the second shaft arm 22 and the wire channel 211, connecting to the first lens section 31. One end of the second wire 60 is connected to the control module and / or power supply, and the other end passes through the handheld mechanism 10 and sequentially passes through the second shaft arm 22 and the wire channel 211 and is connected to the second lens part 32.

[0072] In this embodiment, there are at least three implementations of the wiring methods for the first conductor 50 and the second conductor 60.

[0073] Referring to Figure 12, in the first wiring embodiment, the first conductor 50 extends out of the conductor channel 211, first extending into the interior of the second lens section 32, then passing through the first drive mechanism 23 and extending into the interior of the first lens section 31 to electrically connect with the first lens section 31. The second conductor 60 extends out of the conductor channel 211, first extending into the interior of the first lens section 31, then passing through the first drive mechanism 23 and extending into the interior of the second lens section 32. In this embodiment and the other two embodiments, the first drive mechanism 23 is the external rotor motor shown in Figure 8. The first drive mechanism 23 includes a shaft, which is a part of the stator shaft (designated by reference numeral 232 in Figure 8). The shaft is provided with a through hole 2331, which passes through the first drive mechanism 23 in the direction defined by the first axis A. The through hole 2331 is used for the first conductor 50 and / or the second conductor 60 to pass through. Therefore, the first conductor 50 and the second conductor 60 pass through the through hole 2331 to achieve penetration of the first drive structure. Depending on the type of the first drive mechanism 23, the shaft can be a rotating shaft or a stator shaft. The through-hole 2331 is used for the first wire 50 and / or the second wire 60 to pass through. The axis of the through-hole 2331 approximately coincides with the first axis A, which can reduce the pulling force on the first wire 50 during rotation of the first lens section 31 and the second wire 60 during rotation of the second lens section 32, thus making the electrical connection between the first lens section 31, the second lens section 32, and the control module more stable. In the first wiring embodiment, the first wire 50 and the second wire 60 are arranged crosswise to avoid entanglement.

[0074] Please refer to Figures 13 and 14. In the second wiring embodiment, the handheld shooting device 100 further includes a slider 70, which is movably mounted on the first shaft arm 21. A first wire 50 extends out of the wire channel 211, passes through the slider 70, and extends into the interior of the first lens section 31. A second wire 60 extends out of the wire channel 211, passes through the slider 70, and sequentially passes through the interior of the first lens section 31 and the wire through-hole 2331 to extend into the interior of the second lens section 32. In this embodiment, the first wire 50 and the second wire 60 are positioned at different locations on the slider 70, allowing the slider 70 to function as a guide for the first wire 50 and the second wire 60. In the second wiring embodiment, the two lens sections 30 rotate and pull on the first wire 50 and the second wire 60 respectively, causing them to swing. This, in turn, causes the slider 70 to swing relative to the first shaft arm 21. The slider 70 has a guiding effect on the wires, preventing the first wire 50 and the second wire 60 from becoming tangled.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first shaft arm 21 has a sliding groove communicating with the through hole 2331. The sliding member 70 is a block structure with a through hole. The sliding member 70 is movably disposed in the sliding groove and can slide along the extension direction of the sliding groove. The extension direction of the sliding groove is approximately arc-shaped to accommodate the swing trajectory of the first conductor 50 and the second conductor 60. In other embodiments, the sliding member 70 can be configured according to the specific mechanism of the gimbal mechanism 20, which will not be listed in this embodiment.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 14, a third wiring embodiment. In this embodiment, a mounting space 212 is provided on the first shaft arm 21, extending through both sides of the first shaft arm 21 in the direction of the first axis A. The mounting space 212 is used to mount a first drive mechanism 23, at least a portion of the structure of the first drive mechanism 23 is embedded in the mounting space 212, and the first drive mechanism 23 is generally located on the side of the mounting space 212 near the first lens portion 31, so as to facilitate the connection between the first drive mechanism 23 and the first lens portion 31. The side of the mounting space 212 near the second lens portion 32 is in an unoccupied state and communicates with the wire channel 211, so that the mounting space 212 is connected to the wire channel 211. In some embodiments, a bearing may be provided on the side of the mounting space 212 near the second lens portion 32, and the bearing is connected to the housing 33 of the second lens portion 32 to support the second lens portion 32. In this embodiment, the mounting space 212 is located at the end of the first shaft arm 21 away from the second shaft arm 22. The mounting space 212 is generally a through hole structure opened on the first shaft arm 21. The mounting space 212 is defined by the structure surrounding the first shaft arm 21. In other embodiments, the mounting space 212 is a groove-shaped space located at the end of the first shaft arm 21 away from the second shaft arm 22. The mounting space 212 penetrates the opposite sides of the first shaft arm 21 in the direction of the first axis A, and also penetrates the end of the first shaft arm 21 in the extension direction. That is, the structure of the first shaft arm 21 partially surrounds the circumference of the mounting space 212.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first conductor 50 extends out of the conductor channel 211 and into the mounting space 212, then extends towards the first lens section 31. The first conductor 50 passes through the wire through hole 2331 and extends into the interior of the first lens section 31.
