Further, it is understood that any features described herein as being located on the first portion 402 may also be located on the second portion 404 in alternative embodiments, and vice versa.
Wherein the first portion 402 may include a first cylindrical body 410 having a plurality of inner protrusions 412. The inner protrusion 412 may extend inwardly along the perimeter of the bottom surface of the body 410 (the surface closest to the second portion 404) forming a plurality of intervening gaps 414. Accordingly, the second portion 406 may include a second cylindrical body 416 having a plurality of external lugs 418. The outer bulge 418 may extend outwardly along the perimeter of the upper surface of the body 416 (the surface closest to the first portion 402) forming a plurality of intervening gaps 420. Although the first body 410 and the second body 416 are depicted as each having three projections 412, 418 and gaps 414, 420, the number of projections and gaps can be any suitable number (e.g., one, two, three, four, five, or more).
In some embodiments, first portion 402 and second portion 404 may include mating features for locking first portion 402 and second portion 404 together to prevent inadvertent disengagement of the two. For example, the first body 410 may include one or more posts 422 shaped to fit within one or more complementary apertures 424 of the second body 416. When the first and second portions 402, 404 are coupled in the manner described above, the post 422 is positioned such that it is received within the aperture 424, thereby limiting rotational movement of the first and second portions 402, 404 relative to each other. Further, the bore 424 may include features for securing the post 422 within the bore 424, such as a first spring element 426. As another example, the second body 416 may include one or more second spring elements 428 for engaging the first body 410 to prevent its disengagement. For example, the second spring element 428 may be located at the periphery of the second body 416 and below the outer protrusion 418, such that when the first and second portions 402, 404 are coupled, the second spring element 428 presses the inner and outer protrusions 412, 418 against each other.
In some embodiments, the first body 410 may include a plurality of pins 432 for engaging with corresponding contacts 434 on the second body 416 when the first portion 402 and the second portion 404 are coupled. The pins 432 and contacts 434 may be used to electrically couple the first portion 402 and second portion 404, and thereby electrically couple the imaging device 100 and imaging device carrier. The electrical coupling may be used to transfer power and/or data (e.g., load data, control signals, etc.) between the imaging device 100 and the imaging device carrier.
Referring to fig. 9, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a method of switchably mounting an imaging device to an imaging device carrier, the method including the steps of:
step S01: an imaging device is provided that is coupled to the first imaging device carrier.
Step S02: detaching the imaging device from the first imaging device carrier.
Step S03: coupling the imaging device to a second imaging device carrier different from the first imaging device carrier.
It should be noted that the coupling manner between the imaging device and the imaging device carrier in the above examples and embodiments is also applicable to the method of switchably mounting the imaging device to the imaging device carrier of the present invention.
As can be seen from the above technical solutions, in the method for switchably mounting an imaging device to an imaging device carrier according to the present invention, the imaging device is coupled to a first imaging device carrier, then the imaging device is detached from the first imaging device carrier, and then the imaging device is coupled to a second imaging device carrier different from the first imaging device carrier, so that the purpose of switchably matching the imaging device with different imaging device carriers is achieved. By taking the first imaging device carrier as the cradle head and the second imaging device carrier as the camera body, the requirement on the volume of the cradle head can be reduced when the imaging device is matched with the cradle head, the cradle head can be made smaller, and the space occupied by the cradle head is saved. When imaging device and camera body cooperation use, can follow the cloud bench with imaging device and dismantle, cooperation camera body can regard as the camera to use alone to realize imaging device's multipurpose and use, convenient small and exquisite can adapt to different carriers and use.
The camera body and the pan-tilt provided by the embodiment of the invention are described in detail, and the principle and the implementation mode of the invention are explained by applying specific examples, and the description of the embodiment is only used for helping to understand the method and the core idea of the invention; meanwhile, for a person skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there may be variations in the specific embodiments and the application scope, and in summary, the content of the present specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
