Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gimbals face challenges in achieving effective target tracking, as they require specific apps on mobile phones, leading to increased computing load and heat, and are limited to single-purpose tracking with mobile phones, unable to accommodate other photographing devices.
Innovation Solution
A gimbal system comprising a handle assembly, motor assemblies for multi-axis rotation, a clamping assembly for securing photographing devices, and a target tracking assembly with a vision module and wireless positioning module, allowing for real-time tracking and adjustment of the photographing device to maintain focus on the target.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If specific apps on mobile phones are used for target tracking, then target tracking function is achieved, but computing load and heat of mobile phone increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the target tracking function from the mobile phone application and relocates it to a dedicated tracking assembly on the gimbal. The tracking assembly includes independent tracking components that can identify and track targets without requiring mobile phone apps, thereby reducing the computing load and heat generation on the mobile phone while maintaining reliable target tracking functionality.
2Reliability
If mobile phone is used for target tracking, then target tracking is achieved, but the system is limited to single-purpose and cannot accommodate other photographing devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the tracking assembly as an independent, universal system that can track targets regardless of what photographing device is mounted on the gimbal. The tracking assembly includes independent sensors and processing units that can identify targets and generate tracking signals without requiring a mobile phone. This allows the system to work with various photographing devices such as cameras, action cameras, and other imaging equipment, significantly improving device compatibility and versatility.
3Measurement precision
If target tracking requires specific apps and processing, then tracking accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the target tracking system into independent functional modules: target detection modules (such as visual sensors or wireless positioning modules), signal processing modules, and motor control modules. Each module performs a specific function, and they work together through standardized interfaces. This modular segmentation maintains high tracking accuracy through dedicated processing while reducing overall system complexity by allowing independent optimization and maintenance of each module.

AI summary
The present application relates to the field of photographing auxiliary apparatus, more particularly, to a gimbal. The gimbal comprising a handle assembly, a first motor assembly, a second motor assembly, a third motor assembly, a clamping assembly, a control assembly and a target tracking assembly. The target tracking assembly is mounted on the third motor assembly and connected with the control assembly. The control assembly may be used to control the first motor assembly, the second motor assembly and the third motor assembly to rotate based on the tracking information obtained by the target tracking assembly, so that the photographing device clamped by the clamping assembly can keep tracking the target object to perform photographing.
