Referring to fig. 1 to 6 together, a handheld camera 1000 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an imaging device 200 and a handheld pan/tilt head 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The handheld tripod head 100 is used for stabilizing the imaging apparatus 200 or controlling the posture of the imaging apparatus 200.

The handheld tripod head 100 of the present embodiment includes a handheld portion 20 and the tripod head 10 of the present embodiment, and the tripod head 10 is mounted on the handheld portion 20.

The cloud platform 10 of this application embodiment includes first axle subassembly 11, second axle subassembly 12 and connecting rod 13, and connecting rod 13 rotates and connects first axle subassembly 11 and rotate and connect second axle subassembly 12, and first axle subassembly 11 is used for connecting load 40 (like image device 200) and drives load 40 and rotate around first axle X, and second axle subassembly 12 is used for driving connecting rod 13 motion and drives first axle subassembly 11 and rotate around second axle Y, and second axle Y is different from the drive shaft Q that second axle subassembly 12 driven link 13 motion.

In the cloud platform 10, handheld cloud platform 100 and handheld shooting device 1000 of this application embodiment, connecting rod 13 rotates and connects second axle subassembly 12 and rotates and connect first axle subassembly 11, and first axle subassembly 11 connects load 40, so, the connection between first axle subassembly 11 and the second axle subassembly 12 can be designed compacter for cloud platform 10 is small, and convenience of customers carries, is favorable to improving user experience.

Preferably, the second axis Y is parallel to the drive axis Q of the second shaft assembly 12 for driving the movement of the connecting rod 13. This simplifies the design of the head 10 and reduces costs. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the second axis Y may not be parallel to the drive axis Q of the second shaft assembly 12 for driving the movement of the link 13.

In the different embodiments of the present application, the second axis Y of the pan/tilt head 10 may refer to different rotation axes. For example, in some embodiments, pan/tilt head 10 includes an axle arm 14, and axle arm 14 is pivotally coupled to first axle assembly 11. A second axis Y is formed at the rotational connection B of the shaft arm 14 and the first shaft assembly 11 (see fig. 3 and 5).

In some embodiments, head 10 may omit shaft arm 14, or even if head 10 includes shaft arm 14, shaft arm 14 and first shaft assembly 11 are not rotationally coupled. At this time, the rotational connection a of the link 13 and the first shaft assembly 11 forms a second shaft Y, as shown in fig. 6. In such an embodiment, as the link 13 rotates, the link 13 moves the load 40 up and down via the first shaft assembly 11.

Specifically, the first shaft assembly 11 includes a housing 112 and a first motor 114, the first motor 114 is at least partially housed within the housing 112, the linkage 13 is rotatably coupled to the housing 112, and the first motor 114 is configured to drive the load 40 about a first axis X.

Thus, the housing 112 can protect the first motor 114 from being interfered by external environment, so as to ensure the reliability of the first motor 114, and increase the reliability of the first shaft assembly 11 and the pan/tilt head 10. It is understood that the first motor 114 may be a brushless motor in one example.

In certain embodiments, the first shaft assembly 11 further includes a load connection 116, the load connection 116 for connecting the first motor 114 and the load 40.

In this manner, the load connection 116 provides for the connection of the load 40 to the first shaft assembly 11. The load 40 can be detachably mounted on the load connecting piece 116, the mounting and dismounting modes of the load 40 are simple, the use by a user can be facilitated, and the user experience is improved.

It is understood that the load coupling 116 may also be part of the first electric machine 114, such as the protective housing for the rotor 1142 of the first electric machine 114. The use of load coupling 116 reduces the design of the arm of first axis X in first axis assembly 11, thereby further reducing the volume of head 10 and making the structure relatively more compact.

Referring to fig. 4 and 7, in the illustrated embodiment, the rotor 1142 of the first motor 114 is fixedly coupled to the load connection member 116.

In this manner, the load 40 can rotate synchronously with the rotor 1142 of the first motor 114, and when the load 40 is mounted on the load connector 116, the first motor 114 can drive the load 40 to rotate around the first axis X. Specifically, the first axis X is a rotation axis of the first motor 114.

In certain embodiments, load coupling 116 may include, but is not limited to, a clamp coupling or a magnetic coupling.

It will be appreciated that when the holder 10 is a clamping connection, the clamping connection can clamp the load 40 and fix the load on the first shaft assembly 11, such that the first shaft assembly 11 provides stability augmentation for the load 40 on the first axis X. When the cradle head 10 employs a magnetic connector, the magnetic connector may be provided with a magnet, and a ferromagnetic material is disposed on the load 40 or the load 40 itself has a ferromagnetic material, so that the load 40 is magnetically attracted to the magnetic connector. Thus, the load 40 is easy to mount and dismount, and can be conveniently used by a user. In the illustrated embodiment, load coupling 116 is a magnetic coupling.

In some embodiments, the load 40 may be one of a sensor, an imaging device, and a mobile terminal.

It can be understood that when the sensors, the imaging device, the mobile terminal and the like collect the environmental information, a certain posture is usually required to be maintained to acquire more accurate information. Thus, the cradle head 10 can provide stability augmentation for sensors, imaging devices, mobile terminals, and the like, so that the cradle head can work in a better posture, and more accurate information can be acquired.

The sensors may be attitude sensors (e.g., acceleration sensors, angle sensors, inertial measurement units, etc., the imaging devices may be cameras, video cameras, etc., and the mobile terminals may be mobile phones, tablet computers, smart wearable devices, etc., it is understood that the imaging devices may also be some mobile terminals, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, smart wearable devices, etc., having photographing and video recording functions, or some imaging devices, in the cradle head 10 of the present embodiment, the load 40 is exemplified as the imaging device 200.

Specifically, in the handheld shooting device 1000, the load 40 of the handheld cradle head 100 is the imaging device 200, and the handheld cradle head 100 is the imaging device 200 and is stabilized in the corresponding direction, so that the imaging device 200 is kept in a better working posture, a better shooting effect is achieved, and the quality of the image collected by the imaging device 200 is improved.

In some embodiments, head 10 is a two-axis head 10. The first shaft assembly 11 and the second shaft assembly 12 are connected through the connecting rod 13, so that the first shaft assembly 11 and the second shaft assembly 12 are separately arranged, and meanwhile, the small size can be kept, and the carrying by a user is facilitated.

The axle arm 14 provides support for the first axle assembly 11, and the first axle assembly 11 is rotatable relative to the axle arm 14 to rotate about a second axis Y. Specifically, the shaft arm 14 is rotatably connected to the housing 112. It is understood that if in other embodiments the housing 112 is omitted from the first shaft assembly 11, the shaft arm may be rotatably connected to the stator of the first motor 114.

Wherein the first shaft assembly 12 rotates about the second shaft Y, whereby the first shaft X will undergo a change in position about the second shaft Y during rotation of the first shaft assembly about the second shaft Y.

In some embodiments, the second shaft assembly 12 may include a shaft arm 14, and the second shaft assembly 12, the connecting rod 13, and the first shaft assembly 11 may constitute a four-bar linkage.

In this way, the second shaft assembly 12 can drive the connecting rod 13 to move in the plane of the four-bar linkage, so that the connecting rod 13 drives the first shaft assembly 11 to rotate around the second shaft Y.

In some embodiments, the shaft arm 14 is fixedly connected to the second shaft assembly 12, the second shaft assembly 12 is disposed on the shaft arm 14 or partially accommodated in the shaft arm 14, and the first shaft assembly 11, the connecting rod 13, the second shaft assembly 12, and the shaft arm 14 are sequentially and movably connected to form a four-bar linkage.

In this way, the second shaft assembly 12 can also drive the connecting rod 13 to move in the plane where the four-bar linkage is located, so that the connecting rod 13 drives the first shaft assembly 11 to rotate around the second shaft Y.

Specifically, the first shaft assembly 11 is rotatably connected to the link 13 and forms a first connection point a of the four-link member, and the shaft arm 14 is rotatably connected to the first shaft assembly 11 and forms a second connection point B of the four-link member, the second connection point B being formed with a second shaft Y.

It will be appreciated that the position of the first connection point a is kept constant relative to the first shaft assembly 11, the position of the second connection point B is kept constant relative to the shaft arm 14, and the position of the shaft arm 14 is relatively stable, so that when the connecting rod 13 rotates, the first shaft assembly 11 is driven to rotate around the second connection point B via the first connection point a, so that the first shaft assembly 11 rotates around the second shaft Y. In the illustrated embodiment, the housing 112 of the first shaft assembly 11 rotatably connects the links 13 to form a first connection point a.

In some embodiments, the axle arm 14 includes a mounting shell 142 and a mounting arm 144, the mounting arm 144 is disposed on the mounting shell 142, the second axle assembly 12 is at least partially received within the mounting shell 142, the mounting arm 144 is rotatably coupled to the first axle assembly 11, and a second axle Y is formed at the junction of the mounting arm 144 and the first axle assembly 11.

In this manner, the mounting shell 142 may be a portion of the shaft arm 14, and the second shaft assembly 12 is at least partially accommodated in the mounting shell 142, so as to fully utilize the internal space of the tripod head 10, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the tripod head 10. In addition, the mounting shell 142 may protect the second shaft assembly 12 from damage. In the present embodiment, the joint between the mounting arm 144 and the first shaft assembly 11 forms the second joint B of the four-bar linkage.

In the illustrated embodiment, the number of mounting arms 144 is two, two mounting arms 144 are spaced apart on the mounting housing 142, and the first axle assembly 11 is positioned between the two mounting arms 144.

In this manner, the two mounting arms 144 facilitate maintaining a balanced center of gravity of the head 10 while reducing the load on a single mounting arm 144, and the mounting arms 144 may be made smaller, thereby reducing the volume of the head 10.

Specifically, the link 13 is located inside one of the two mounting arms 144. In this way, the link 13 is less likely to be disturbed by the environment outside the shaft arm 14, so that the reliability of the link 13 can be ensured.

In some embodiments, the other of the two mounting arms 144 is embossed with a trace 1442. In this way, the pan/tilt head 10 can set a line through the routing portion 1442 to realize control and power supply to the first shaft assembly 11, and then can control the posture of the load 40.

In addition, the mounting shell 142 further includes an end cap 1422, the mounting shell 142 is provided with an accommodating space 1424, the second shaft assembly 12 is located in the accommodating space 1424, and the end cap 1422 is installed at an end of the mounting shell 142 and covers an opening of the accommodating space 1424.

In this manner, the end cap 1422 may seal the mounting case 142, so that the second shaft assembly 12 in the accommodating space 1424 is not easily interfered by external environments, such as moisture and dust, and thus reliability of the second shaft assembly 12 may be ensured.

In some embodiments, the end of the connecting rod 13 inserted into the mounting housing 142 is rotatably connected to the second shaft assembly 12, and the end of the connecting rod 13 inserted into the mounting housing 142 is rotatably connected to the first shaft assembly 11.

Thus, the two ends of the connecting rod 13 are respectively arranged in the mounting shell 142 and outside the mounting shell 142 to respectively rotatably connect the second shaft assembly 12 and the first shaft assembly 11, so that the second shaft assembly 12 arranged at an interval with the first shaft assembly 11 can drive the first shaft assembly 11 to rotate around the second shaft Y by driving the connecting rod 13.

So, the armshaft 14 is fixed knot structure, need not make the armshaft 14 rotate around drive shaft Q in order to realize the rotation of first axle subassembly 11 around drive shaft Q, thereby need not consider the armshaft 14 and rotate required rotation space, and can play corresponding supporting role, and through the design of connecting rod 13, can satisfy connecting rod 13 drive first axle subassembly 11 around the rotation space of second axle Y can, and make the size of armshaft 14 reduce as far as possible, then more be favorable to the volume miniaturization of cloud platform 10.

Specifically, the second shaft assembly 12 includes a second motor 122, and the second motor 122 is configured to drive the connecting rod 13 to move and drive the first shaft assembly 11 to rotate around the second shaft Y.

In this manner, the link 13 converts the rotation of the second motor 122 into the rotation of the first shaft assembly 11 about the second axis Y. In the illustrated embodiment, the second motor 122 is received in the receiving space 1424. The link 13 is rotatably connected to the rotor 1222 of the second motor 122. Thus, when the rotor 1222 of the second motor 122 rotates, the connecting rod 13 can be driven to move.

More specifically, the rotor 1222 of the second motor 122 is provided with a connecting shaft 1224, the connecting shaft 1224 is eccentrically arranged with the motor shaft of the second motor 122, and the connecting shaft 1224 rotatably connects the connecting rod 13.

It will be appreciated that the connecting shaft 1224 is eccentrically disposed from the motor shaft of the second motor 122, i.e., the connecting shaft 1224 is different from the drive shaft Q of the second motor 122. As such, the link 13 is connected to the connecting shaft 1224 to form a third connecting point C of the four-link 13 member, and a fourth connecting point D of the four-link member is formed at the driving shaft Q of the second motor 122. The position of the fourth connection point D is relatively unchanged from the position of the second connection point B, the position of the connection shaft 1224 changes when the rotor 1222 of the second motor 122 rotates, the end of the connecting rod 13 connected to the rotor 1222 of the second motor 122 rotates relative to the connection shaft 1224, and simultaneously, the connecting rod 13 moves in a plane perpendicular to the driving shaft Q, thereby driving the first shaft assembly 11 to rotate around the second shaft Y.

Wherein the rotor 1222 of the second motor 122 can be rotatably connected to the end cap 1422 at a fourth connection point D, such that A, B, C, D are sequentially connected end to form a closed-loop four-bar linkage, or the fourth connection point D does not form a rotary connection of the rotor 1222 of the second motor 122 to the end cap 1422, such that the stator of the second motor 122 can be fixed to the shaft arm 14 or fixed in the mounting case 142 of the shaft arm 14, such that D, C, A, B is sequentially connected to form an open four-bar linkage.

In some embodiments, holder 10 further includes a third shaft assembly 15, third shaft assembly 15 being configured to support first shaft assembly 11 and second shaft assembly 12 and to permit rotation of load 40 about third axis Z.

It will be appreciated that in such an embodiment, the head 10 is a three-axis head, and the load 40 is rotatable about the first, second and third axes X, Y, Z, such that the head 10 can stabilize the load 40 in three different axes, so that the load 40 can be maintained in a preferred operating condition.

In some embodiments, when the third shaft assembly includes the shaft arm 14, the third shaft assembly 15 may further include the shaft arm 14 and a third motor 152, and the third motor 152 is configured to drive the shaft arm 14 to rotate so as to drive the first shaft assembly 11 and the second shaft assembly 12 to rotate about the third axis Z.

As such, the third shaft assembly 15 may support the first shaft assembly 11, the second shaft assembly 12, and the load 40 via the shaft arm 14.

In some embodiments, the shaft arm 14 includes a connecting arm 146, and the second shaft assembly 12 and the third motor 152 are disposed at two ends of the connecting arm 146, respectively.

In this way, the connecting arm 146 connects the second shaft assembly 12 to the third motor 152, and the third motor 152 drives the second shaft assembly 12, the first shaft assembly 11 and the load 40 to rotate around the third axis Z by driving the connecting arm 146.

Referring to fig. 4 and 7, the shaft arm 14 is fixedly connected to the rotor 1522 of the third motor 152.

In this way, the shaft arm 14 rotates with the rotor 1522 of the third motor 152, and drives the first shaft assembly 11, the second shaft assembly 12 and the load 40 to rotate around the third axis Z. Specifically, the third axis Z is a rotation axis of the third motor 152.

In some embodiments, the first shaft assembly 11 is a roll shaft assembly, the second shaft assembly 12 is a pitch shaft assembly, the third shaft assembly 15 is a yaw shaft assembly, and the motor of the roll shaft assembly (i.e., the first motor 114), the motor of the pitch shaft assembly (i.e., the second motor 122), and the motor of the yaw shaft assembly (i.e., the third motor 152) are arranged in sequence from top to bottom.

In this way, the first shaft assembly 11 can control the attitude of the load 40 in the roll direction, the second shaft assembly 12 can control the attitude of the load 40 in the pitch direction, the third shaft assembly 15 can control the attitude of the load 40 in the yaw direction, the pan-tilt 10 can achieve three-axis stability augmentation for the load 40, and the load 40 can be kept in a preferred attitude. Fig. 1 and 2 show the attitude of the imaging apparatus 200 (load 40) in different pitch directions, respectively. Therefore, the three-axis tripod head only has one shaft arm 14, so that the space increased by using not less than one shaft arm is reduced, the motors of the rotating shafts are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, so that the horizontal size of the tripod head 10 is further reduced, and the vertical size of the shaft arm 14 can be reduced as much as possible, so that the tripod head 10 has smaller size and is convenient for a user to carry.

It is understood that, in addition to the first motor 114 of the first shaft assembly 11, the second motor 122 of the second shaft assembly 12, and the third motor 152 of the third shaft assembly 15 arranged in the above sequence from top to bottom, other arrangement sequences may be adopted, such as from outside to inside when disposed laterally, and at this time, the relationship between the first shaft assembly 11, the second shaft assembly 12, and the third shaft assembly 15 and the roll shaft assembly, the pitch shaft assembly, and the yaw shaft assembly will change accordingly, that is, the first shaft assembly 11 is not limited to the roll shaft assembly, the second shaft assembly 12 is not limited to the pitch shaft assembly, and the third shaft assembly 15 is not limited to the yaw shaft assembly.

In some embodiments, the center of gravity of the load 40 lies on a first axis X, the center of gravity of the load 40 and the roll axis assembly lies on a second axis Y, and the center of gravity of the load 40, the roll axis assembly, the pitch axis assembly, and the yaw axis assembly lies on a third axis Z.

So, cloud platform 10 can keep the focus balanced, and each axle can increase cloud platform 10 structural stability when rotating, alleviates the load of each structure in cloud platform 10, and cloud platform 10 reliability is better, and can reduce the moment of torsion output of corresponding motor. It will be appreciated that the structural design of head 10 may be adjusted to achieve the structural stability of head 10 described above.

In some embodiments, the second axis Y is orthogonal to the first axis X, and the second axis Y is orthogonal to the third axis Z.

Thus, the tripod head 10 is an orthogonal tripod head, and can provide stability augmentation for the load 40 in three mutually perpendicular directions, thereby improving the flexibility of the tripod head 10.

In some embodiments, the angle formed between the third axis Z and the second axis Y may be non-orthogonal.

Thus, the head 10 is a non-orthogonal head, which facilitates adjustment of the rotation angle of the first shaft assembly 11 about the second axis Y.

In this embodiment, the handheld tripod head 100 may be a two-axis handheld tripod head, that is, the handheld tripod head 100 includes two shaft assemblies, namely, a first shaft assembly 11 and a second shaft assembly 12. At this point, the second shaft assembly 12 may be mounted on the hand-held portion 20 and the head 10 may provide stability to the load 40 in two different directions.
