Detachable Handle Battery Mounting Groove for Gimbal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing handheld gimbals face inconvenience due to battery power depletion, requiring either charging or frequent battery replacement, which disrupts continuous photography and poses environmental pollution risks.
Innovation Solution
A handle battery system with a detachable mounting groove for easy gimbal installation, allowing for quick battery replacement and charging, enabling continuous photography by swapping between main and spare batteries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the handheld gimbal uses a rechargeable battery, then the device can be reused, but the shooting job must be stopped for charging which reduces productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The battery system is segmented into a removable battery pack that can be separated from the gimbal body. This allows the battery to be independently replaced without affecting the gimbal structure, enabling quick battery swaps during shooting operations to maintain productivity while preserving battery reusability.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery connection interface is designed to be dynamically changeable between connected and disconnected states. The quick-release mechanism allows the battery to be rapidly attached or detached, transforming the static battery installation into a dynamic, flexible configuration that supports continuous operation through quick battery replacement.
2Ease of operation
If the handheld gimbal uses a battery-powered system, then the device can operate wirelessly, but frequent battery replacement increases cost and causes pollution
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is designed for easy removal and recovery. Used batteries can be collected, recharged, and reused multiple times, reducing the need for disposable batteries. The standardized interface facilitates systematic battery management and recovery programs, minimizing environmental pollution from battery waste.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the battery is fixed in the gimbal, then the connection is stable, but the battery cannot be easily replaced or charged separately
Solution Approach 1:
The battery is extracted from the fixed internal structure and placed in a removable pack configuration. This extraction allows the battery to be taken out for separate charging or replacement while maintaining a stable connection interface that ensures reliable electrical contact when installed, balancing connection stability with replacement convenience.
4Use of energy by moving object
If the gimbal is charged as a whole, then the battery is recharged, but the entire device becomes heavier and more cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The charging function is segmented from the main gimbal body and concentrated in the removable battery pack. Only the lightweight battery pack needs to be handled for charging operations, not the entire gimbal assembly. This segmentation reduces the effective weight that users must manage during battery maintenance while preserving full recharging capability.

AI summary
A handle battery includes a casing, an upper cover, and a lower cover. The casing includes an upper-end opening, a lower-end opening, and a receiving cavity between the upper-end opening and the lower-end opening. The receiving cavity houses a battery cell that is configured to supply power for a gimbal. The upper cover covers the upper-end opening. A mounting groove is formed on the upper cover for detachable connection with the gimbal. The mounting groove includes an entrance for the gimbal to enter the mounting groove, a first surface opposite to the entrance, a first guide groove and a second guide groove that are opposite to each other and located between the entrance and the first surface, and a bottom surface below the entrance, the first surface, the first guide groove, and the second guide groove. A power supply interface is disposed in the mounting groove for supplying power to the gimbal. The lower cover covers the lower-end opening. The handle battery is detachably connected with the gimbal. The handle battery is detached, sent for charging, and replaced by a spare handle battery to continue shooting, when the power of the handle battery is used up. The present invention also provides a handle battery set and a handheld gimbal.
