UAV Gimbal Shock-Absorbing Mount With Hollow Elastic Buffering

The patent applies beforehand cushioning by introducing elastic members (such as rubber rings or spring structures) between the mount and the gimbal body. These elastic components are pre-installed to cushion and absorb vibrations and shocks generated during gimbal operation, particularly when heavy mounts are used. The elastic members deform under vibration forces, converting mechanical vibration energy into elastic deformation energy, thereby reducing the transmission of vibrations to the gimbal body and improving overall stability.

The patent employs composite materials by combining rigid structural components with elastic damping materials. The gimbal structure uses high-strength, low-density materials (such as aluminum alloys or carbon fiber composites) for the main body to maintain strength while reducing weight. Additionally, elastic members made of rubber or polymer materials are integrated into the structure to provide vibration absorption. This composite approach allows the gimbal to be lightweight yet resistant to vibrations, resolving the contradiction between weight reduction and vibration resistance.

The patent introduces elastic members as intermediary elements between the heavy mount and the gimbal body. These intermediaries act as vibration isolators, decoupling the vibration source (heavy mount) from the sensitive structure (gimbal body). The elastic members absorb and dampen vibration forces generated by heavy mounts during operation, preventing these harmful vibrations from being transmitted to the gimbal's rotating components and imaging sensors, thereby maintaining image quality and operational safety.
