Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current consumer UAVs lack a replaceable gimbal camera, necessitating the purchase of different UAVs for various aerial photography scenarios, which is costly and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A replaceable gimbal camera system for UAVs, featuring an image capture module, static storage module, and image processing module, allowing parameter data storage and quick configuration for different gimbal cameras, enabling adaptation to various shooting needs with a single aircraft.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different types of UAVs are purchased to meet different aerial photography scenarios, then the shooting needs of different scenarios are met, but the cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The UAV is designed with a universal gimbal mounting interface that can accommodate multiple types of gimbals (single-light, dual-light, different resolutions). The control system universally supports parameter configuration for different gimbal types through standardized communication protocols, allowing one UAV to perform multiple photography functions without requiring multiple specialized aircraft
Solution Approach 2:
The photography system is segmented into independent modular components: the UAV platform, the gimbal module, and the control system. The gimbal can be detached and replaced independently from the UAV body, allowing users to swap between different gimbal types (8K, dual-light, etc.) based on shooting requirements without replacing the entire aircraft
2Productivity
If parameter data is not stored in the gimbal camera, then the system is simpler, but the configuration process after gimbal replacement becomes time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
Parameter data for each gimbal type is pre-configured and stored in the control system during system setup or factory calibration. When a gimbal is replaced, the control system automatically retrieves the corresponding pre-stored parameters based on gimbal identification, eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration and enabling immediate operation after replacement

AI summary
The embodiments are a replaceable gimbal camera, an aircraft, an aircraft system, and a gimbal replacement method for an aircraft. The replaceable gimbal camera is applied to the aircraft. The aircraft is provided with a fuselage and a gimbal. The replaceable gimbal camera includes an image capture module, a static storage module, and an image processing module. The static storage module is configured to store parameter data. The image processing module is configured to read the parameter data stored in the static storage module, where after the gimbal is replaced, the image processing module is configured to read parameter data of a gimbal after replacement and configure corresponding parameter data for an image capture module of the gimbal after replacement.
