Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, in an embodiment of the present invention, a pan/tilt head 1000 is provided, which includes a supporting mechanism 80 and one or more rotating shaft mechanisms 100, wherein the supporting mechanism 80 is used for supporting the rotating shaft mechanisms 100. The rotating shaft mechanism 100 is used for adjusting the posture of the carrier 800 carried by the pan/tilt head 1000, and the rotating shaft mechanism 100 includes a turntable 20, a rotating arm 10, a motor 30 and a locking system 40.

The pan/tilt head 1000 can mount the load 800, and can stabilize the load 800. The load 800 may be a mobile phone, a camera, a video camera, a tablet computer, or other imaging devices, and the cradle head 1000 may stabilize the carried imaging devices during shooting, reduce jitter and vibration, and improve imaging quality.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the cradle head 1000 further includes a carrier 700 for carrying the carrier 800.

In some embodiments, the number of spindle mechanisms 100 is plural. For example, the number of the spindle mechanisms 100 may also be two, three, four, five or more, thereby forming a single-axis pan-tilt, a two-axis pan-tilt, or a three-axis pan-tilt, etc.

The turntable 20 and the rotating arm 10 are respectively connected to a stator 31 or a rotor 32 of the motor 30, and specifically, the two cases include that the turntable 20 is connected to the stator 31 and the rotating arm 10 is connected to the rotor 32, the turntable 20 is connected to the rotor 32 and the rotating arm 10 is connected to the stator 31, which is not limited herein. A locking system 40 is provided to the dial 20 or the swivel arm 10 for limiting relative rotation between the dial 20 and the swivel arm 10. For example, in the schematic configuration of fig. 3, the turntable 20 is connected to the rotor 32, the rotary arm 10 is connected to the stator 31, and the locking system 40 is disposed on the rotary arm 10.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the locking system 40 includes an operating member 41, a key cylinder 42 and an automatic locking structure 43, where the operating member 41 and the automatic locking structure 43 can respectively drive the key cylinder 42 to move so that the key cylinder 42 can be located at an unlocking position and a locking position, and when the operating member 41 drives the key cylinder 42 to move, the movement of the key cylinder 42 is not interfered by the automatic locking structure 43; when the automatic locking structure 43 moves the key cylinder 42, the key cylinder 42 can move the operating member 41.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the pan 20 and the rotating arm 10 rotate relatively to each other, so that the pan/tilt head 1000 can change different postures. The motor 30 is used for driving the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10 to realize the relative rotation between the turntable 20 and the rotating arm 10. For example, the turntable 20 is connected to the rotor 32 of the motor 30, the rotary arm 10 is connected to the stator 31 of the motor 30, and the rotor 32 of the motor 30 can drive the rotary arm 10 to rotate relative to the turntable 20. In another embodiment, the turntable 20 is connected to a stator 31 of the motor 30, the rotary arm 10 is connected to a rotor 32 of the motor 30, and the rotor 32 of the motor 30 can rotate the turntable 20 relative to the rotary arm 10.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, the locking system 40 is used to limit the relative rotation between the turntable 20 and the rotating arm 10 so as to maintain the turntable 20 and the rotating arm 10 in a specific posture. The locking system 40 may be disposed on the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10 according to the structure of the pan/tilt head 1000, for example, if the rotating arm 10 has a larger accommodating space relative to the turntable 20, the locking system 40 may be disposed in the accommodating space of the rotating arm 10.

Taking the example of the locking system 40 being disposed on the swivel arm 10, in some embodiments, the key cylinder 42 of the locking system 40 cooperates with the dial 20 in the locked position to limit relative rotation between the dial 20 and the swivel arm 10. With lock cylinder 42 in the unlocked position, lock cylinder 42 is disengaged from dial 20 and relative rotation between dial 20 and rotating arm 10 is no longer restricted. For example, referring to fig. 3, lock cylinder 42 is movable in a third direction X1, and after lock cylinder 42 is partially extended into turntable 20, lock cylinder 42 reaches a locked position, and the portion of lock cylinder 42 extended into turntable 20 cooperates with turntable 200 to limit relative rotation between turntable 20 and swivel arm 10. Lock cylinder 42 is movable in fourth direction X2, and after the portion of lock cylinder 42 extending into turntable 20 is completely withdrawn from turntable 20, lock cylinder 42 reaches the unlock position to release the restriction of lock cylinder 42 on the relative rotation between turntable 20 and rotor arm 10.

Similarly, in the case where locking system 40 is provided to dial 20, lock cylinder 42 cooperates with swivel arm 10 in the locked position to limit relative rotation between dial 20 and swivel arm 10; and disengaged from the swivel arm 10 in the unlocked position, no longer restricting relative rotation between the dial 20 and the swivel arm 10.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, movement of lock cylinder 42 is restricted such that lock cylinder 42 remains in either the locked position or the unlocked position, preventing lock cylinder 42 from moving between the locked position and the unlocked position without restriction. In one embodiment, operating member 41 is capable of limiting the movement of key-cylinder 42 and is capable of moving key-cylinder 42. In yet another embodiment, automatic locking structure 43 is capable of restricting movement of lock cylinder 42 and is capable of moving lock cylinder 42. In yet another embodiment, other mechanisms of locking system 40 can limit the movement of lock cylinder 42, and operating member 41 and automatic locking mechanism 43 can move lock cylinder 42, respectively. For example, referring to fig. 3, the locking structure further includes a positioning mechanism 44 for limiting the movement of the key cylinder 42, and the operating member 41 and the automatic locking structure 43 can respectively release the movement limitation of the key cylinder 42 by the positioning mechanism 44 and drive the key cylinder 42 to move.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the operating member 41 and the automatic locking structure 43 are capable of moving and driving the key cylinder 42 to move, respectively, and when the locking or unlocking operation is not performed, the movement of the operating member 41 and the automatic locking structure 43 is limited, so as to prevent the operating member 41 and the automatic locking structure 43 from driving the key cylinder 42 to move at will. Wherein the movement restriction of the operating member 41 is released by manually operating the operating member 41 to perform locking or unlocking. For the automatic locking structure 43, the movement restriction of the automatic locking structure 43 can be released according to the corresponding control signal, so that the automatic locking structure 43 can drive the lock cylinder 42 to move for locking or unlocking. In some embodiments, the operating member 41 or the automatic locking structure 43 can also move the key cylinder 42 by rotating, but not limited thereto.

When the operating member 41 moves the key cylinder 42, the key cylinder 42 is not restricted by the automatic locking structure 43. In one embodiment, when the operating member 41 moves and drives the key cylinder 42 to move, the automatic locking structure 43 is in a predetermined position without causing the automatic locking structure 43 to be linked, and the automatic locking structure 43 in the predetermined position does not limit the movement of the key cylinder 42. Thus, the automatic locking structure 43 does not affect the locking mode by manual operation, and when the operating element 41 is manually operated, the automatic locking structure 43 does not need to be additionally operated, so that the manual operation is simple and quick. In addition, because the automatic locking structure 43 does not affect the locking mode of manual operation, in this way, under the condition that the pan-tilt is powered off, the operation piece 41 can be manually operated to lock or unlock the lock cylinder.

When the automatic locking structure 43 moves the key cylinder 42, the key cylinder 42 is restricted by the operating member 41. In one embodiment, movement of the operating member 41 is restricted, and the operating member 41 is interlocked with the key cylinder 42. When the automatic locking structure 43 moves and drives the lock cylinder 42 to move, the operating element 41 linked with the lock cylinder 42 is also driven to move. Since the movement of the operating member 41 is restricted, the interlocking of the operating member 41 is restricted, resulting in the movement of the key cylinder 42 being restricted by the operating member 41. For example, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the locking system 40 further includes a positioning mechanism 44, and the movement of the operating member 41 is limited by the resistance of the positioning mechanism 44. When the automatic locking structure 43 moves and moves the key cylinder 42, the key cylinder 42 and the operating member 41 linked with the key cylinder 42 need to be moved against the resistance of the positioning mechanism 44 to the operating member 41. In this way, even in the event that the automatic locking structure 43 is not operated or the automatic locking structure 43 fails, the operating member 41 can restrict the movement of the key cylinder 42 to ensure that the key cylinder 42 can be held in the locked position or the unlocked position.

In summary, the cradle head 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention can move the key cylinder 42 through the operating element 41 or the automatic locking structure 43 to make the key cylinder 42 in the unlocking and locking position, so as to selectively limit the relative rotation between the turntable 20 and the rotating arm 10, or to release the limitation on the relative rotation between the turntable 20 and the rotating arm 10. The lock cylinder 42 can be located at the locking position by manually operating the operating element 41, and the automatic locking structure 43 can also automatically drive the lock cylinder 42 to move to the locking position, that is, a manual locking and automatic locking mode for relative rotation between the turntable 20 and the rotating arm 10 of the pan-tilt 1000 is provided, so that a user can select the automatic locking mode to avoid complicated locking operation, and can select manual locking in some application scenes, for example, manual locking is performed in the case that the pan-tilt 1000 is not powered on, thereby realizing locking in various application scenes.

The following is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, automatic locking mechanism 43 includes a drive mechanism 431, and drive mechanism 431 is capable of driving lock cylinder 42 between the unlocked position and the locked position. That is, drive mechanism 431 can provide the power for movement of lock cylinder 42. In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 431 includes at least one of an electric driving mechanism, a pressure driving mechanism, and a shape memory mechanism, without limitation.

In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 431 includes at least one of a driving motor, a magnetic driving mechanism, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, and a memory alloy, without limitation.

In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 431 is a driving motor, and the lock cylinder is fixedly connected to a driving shaft of the motor, and the driving shaft of the motor drives the lock cylinder to reciprocate so as to move between the unlocking position and the locking position.

In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 431 is a magnetic driving mechanism, and includes an electromagnet and an adsorbing member adsorbed to the electromagnet, where the adsorbing member is fixedly connected to the lock cylinder, and the electromagnet attracts the adsorbing member to drive the lock cylinder to move.

In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 431 is a memory alloy, and includes a memory alloy wire, one end of the memory alloy wire is fixedly connected to the lock cylinder, and when the memory alloy wire is powered on, the length of the memory alloy wire is shortened to drive the lock cylinder to move.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 431 includes a driving member 4311 and a transmission member 4312, the driving member 4311 drives the transmission member 4312 to move, and the transmission member 4312 drives the lock cylinder 42 to move. That is, drive 4311 provides the power to move drive 4312, and drive 4312 outputs the power to lock cylinder 42, enabling lock cylinder 42 to move.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the driving mechanism 431 further includes a lead screw 4313. The lead screw 4313 connects the driving member 4311 and the transmission member 4312, and the driving member 4311 drives the lead screw 4313 to move to drive the transmission member 4312 to move, thereby forming a stable transmission mode.

In certain embodiments, the drive 4311 comprises a stepper motor. The stepping motor can accurately drive the transmission member 4312 to move relative to the driving member 4311 by a certain distance, so that the transmission member 4312 drives the lock cylinder 42 to accurately move to the locking position or the unlocking position, thereby improving the control accuracy.

In some embodiments, the operating member 41 extends beyond the dial 20 or the rotatable arm 10. Referring to fig. 3, the locking system 40 is disposed on the rotating arm 10, and the operating member 41 extends out of the rotating arm 10. In the case that the external force drives the operating member 41 to move, the operating member 41 can drive the key cylinder 42 to move so that the key cylinder 42 can be located at the unlocking position and the locking position. In one embodiment, the external force may be a manual force, so that the operating member 41 is moved by manual operation of the portion of the operating member 41 extending out of the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10. In yet another embodiment, the external force may be provided by an automatic locking structure 43. For example, in the automatic locking structure 43, the driving member 4311 of the driving mechanism 431 is connected to the operating member 41 located in the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10, and the driving member 4311 can move to drive the operating member 41 to move, so as to indirectly drive the lock cylinder 42 to move.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, lock cylinder 42 includes a lock head 421. Referring to fig. 3, the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10 is provided with a locking notch 21, for example, in the embodiment of fig. 3, the lock cylinder 42 is provided on the rotating arm 10, and the turntable 20 is provided with the locking notch 21. When the key cylinder 42 is moved to the locking position, the locking head 421 is coupled to the locking notch 21 so that the relative rotation between the dial 20 and the rotary arm 10 is restricted.

In the case where the locking system 40 is provided to the turntable 20, the locking notch 21 is provided to the swivel arm 10; in the case where the locking system 40 is provided to the swivel arm 10, the locking notch 21 is provided to the swivel plate 20. That is, the lock head 421 and the lock notch 21 are respectively located on the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10. In this way, when the lock head 421 is coupled to the lock notch 21, the relative rotation between the dial 20 and the rotary arm 10 can be restricted.

In some embodiments, at least one of the locking head 421 and the locking notch 21 is a magnetic member, and the locking head 421 and the locking notch 21 are coupled by the magnetic member. The magnetic coupling can ensure that the position of the coupling is accurate, the lock head 421 can be coupled with the lock opening 21 under the action of the magnetic coupling only by moving to a certain range close to the lock opening 21, the relative position of the lock head 421 and the lock opening 21 does not need to be accurately controlled, and the coupling can be rapidly completed. With the magnetically coupled lock head 421 and the lock opening 21, the magnetic attraction force can keep the lock cylinder 42 at the locking position, and prevent the lock cylinder 42 from moving away from the locking position at will.

In some embodiments, the locking head 421 and the locking notch 21 are coupled by a snap fit. In one embodiment, the tapered end 421 has a square cone shape, the locking notch 21 is a concave locking notch 21, and the diameter of the locking notch 21 is gradually reduced from outside to inside. Thus, as the lock head 421 extends into the lock opening 21, the fit clearance between the lock head 421 and the lock opening 21 is gradually reduced, so that the lock head 421 and the lock opening 21 are more and more tightly engaged, and when the lock cylinder 42 moves to the locking position, the tight engagement between the lock head 421 and the lock opening 21 can ensure that the lock cylinder 42 is kept at the locking position.

Referring to fig. 5 and 7, in some embodiments, there are a plurality of locking notches 21, and the locking notches 21 are spaced apart from the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10, so that the relative rotation between the turntable 20 and the rotating arm 10 can be limited at a plurality of positions. The different position locking notches 21 are used to maintain the turntable 20 and the rotating arm 10 at different relative angles when coupled with the locking head 421, so that the pan/tilt head 1000 can be maintained at different locking postures.

When there are a plurality of locking notches 21, the number of the locking notches 21 may be 2, 3, 4, 5 or more, which is not listed here. In one embodiment, the locking notches 21 may be evenly spaced and distributed at equal intervals, so that the relative angle between the turntable 20 and the rotary arm 10 can be changed in fixed steps. For example, in the embodiment of fig. 5, the locking notches 21 include a first locking notch 211, a second locking notch 212, a third locking notch 213 and a fourth locking notch 214,4, which are uniformly disposed on the turntable 20. Under the condition that the lock head 421 is opposite to one lock opening 21, the motor 30 can drive the rotating arm 10 to rotate 90 degrees relative to the rotating disc 20, so that the lock head 421 is opposite to the adjacent other lock opening 21. For example, when the lock head 421 faces the first lock opening 211, the motor 30 can drive the rotating arm 10 to rotate clockwise by 90 ° relative to the rotating disc 20, so that the lock head 421 faces the second lock opening 212.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the key cylinder 42 further includes a key cylinder body 422, and the lock head 421 is disposed on the key cylinder body 422, and in the process of moving the key cylinder 42, the key cylinder body 422 can drive the lock head 421 to move so as to couple with or separate from the key slot 21.

In one embodiment, the operating member 41 is connected to the key cylinder body 422, and the operating member 41 can be operated by applying an external force manually to move the key cylinder body 422.

In one embodiment, lock head 421 extends from lock cylinder body 422. In yet another embodiment, the lock head 421 is fixedly mounted to the plug body 422. And are not intended to be limiting herein.

In some embodiments, the lock cylinder further comprises a guide along which the lock cylinder body is movable. In some embodiments, the guides include grooves, rails, guides, and not limited thereto, along which the plug body 422 moves. In this way, the moving direction of the plug body 422 can be guided to ensure that the lock head 421 can accurately reach the position coupled with the locking notch 21. For example, in the embodiment illustrated in fig. 4, the key cylinder body 422 is sleeved on the guide rod and can move along the guide rod to drive the lock head 421 to move, so that the lock head 421 can accurately extend into the lock opening 21.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the key cylinder 42 further includes a matching portion 423, the matching portion 423 is disposed on the key cylinder body 422, the automatic locking structure 43 can drive the matching portion 423 to move, and the matching portion 423 drives the key cylinder body 422 to move, so that the key cylinder body 422 can drive the lock head 421 to move to couple or separate with the key slot 21.

In one embodiment, the driving member 4311 of the automatic locking structure 43 drives the transmission member 4312 to move, and the transmission member 4312 can move to drive the engaging portion 423 to move, so that the engaging portion 423 drives the lock cylinder body 422 to move, and further the lock head 421 is driven to move by the lock cylinder body 422 to move, so as to couple or separate the lock head 421 and the lock opening 21.

Referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, plug 42 further includes a plug guide 424, plug guide 424 being movably coupled to plug body 422. In the case where the automatic locking structure 43 moves the engaging portion 423 with the movement, or in the case where the operating member 41 moves the cylinder body 422 with the movement, the cylinder body 422 moves along the cylinder guide 424. For example, in the embodiment of fig. 4, the lock cylinder body 422 is sleeved on the guide rod, and the engaging portion 423 can drive the lock cylinder 42 to move along the guide rod, so that the moving position of the lock cylinder body 422 is not shifted, and the lock head 421 can accurately extend into the lock opening 21.

Referring to fig. 3, 4 and 5, in some embodiments, locking system 40 further includes a positioning mechanism 44, positioning mechanism 44 being configured to hold lock cylinder 42 in a fixed position. In one embodiment, the fixed position comprises a locked position and/or an unlocked position. For example, detent mechanism 44 is capable of holding lock cylinder 42 in the unlocked position; or detent mechanism 44 can hold lock cylinder 42 in the locked position; or when lock core 42 is in the unlocked position, positioning mechanism 44 holds lock core 42 in the unlocked position, and when lock core 42 is in the locked position, positioning mechanism 44 holds lock core 42 in the locked position. In this way, it is possible to prevent the key cylinder 42 from moving by itself without being controlled by the operation member 41 or the automatic locking structure 43, thereby preventing erroneous locking or erroneous unlocking.

In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism includes a magnetic attraction structure, a mechanical detent structure, an elastic reset structure, and the like, which are not limited herein. In some embodiments, positioning mechanism 44 includes one of an electromagnetic clutch, a floating positioning block 44, and a spring positioning ball to provide a force that limits movement of lock cylinder 42, without limitation.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 44 is a floating positioning block, and the floating positioning block 44 includes a moving block 441. In one embodiment, traveling block 441 is coupled to lock cylinder 42. Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in another embodiment, the cradle head 1000 includes a lock cylinder bracket 50, and a moving block 441 is accommodated in the lock cylinder bracket 50.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the operating member 41 includes a shift lever, a pressing lever, a telescopic rod, a knob, and the like, which are not limited herein. The user can operate the operating member 41 by a control method such as dialing, pressing, rotating, etc.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the operating element 41 includes a lever. Referring to fig. 8, when the key cylinder 42 is located at the unlocking position, the shifter lever 41 (i.e., the operating member 41, the same applies hereinafter) is located at the first side 4411 of the moving block 441, and when the key cylinder 42 is located at the locking position, the shifter lever 41 is located at the second side 4412 of the moving block 441, and the moving block 441 is used to block the movement of the shifter lever 41 between the first side 4411 and the second side 4412, so that the key cylinder 42 is maintained at the locking position or the unlocking position.

Referring to fig. 8, in one embodiment, the moving block 441 blocks a moving path of the stick 41 between the first side 4411 and the second side 4412. To prevent the movement of shift lever 41 from first side 4411 to second side 4412 by itself causing lock cylinder 42 to be carried by shift lever 41 from the unlocked position to the locked position, resulting in mis-locking; and preventing movement of shifter 41 from second side 4412 to first side 4411 by itself causing lock cylinder 42 to be carried by shifter 41 from the locked position to the unlocked position, resulting in a false unlock.

Referring to fig. 8, the moving block 441 can move along the first direction Y1 or the second direction Y2 to selectively move to a position capable of blocking the movement of the shift lever 41, and limit the movement of the shift lever 41 between the first side 4411 and the second side 4412; or out of a position capable of blocking the movement of the shift lever 41 to release the restriction of the movement of the shift lever 41 between the first side 4411 and the second side 4412. Wherein the first direction Y1 is opposite to the second direction Y2. In one embodiment, a direction (the third direction X1 and the fourth direction X2) in which the shifter lever 41 moves between the first side 4411 and the second side 4412 is orthogonal to the first direction Y1. For example, the direction in which the shift lever 41 moves between the first side 4411 and the second side 4412 is a horizontal direction, and the first direction Y1 and the second direction Y2 are vertical directions.

In another embodiment, the moving block 441 can be rotationally moved to a position capable of blocking the movement of the shift lever 41; or out of a position capable of blocking the movement of the shift lever 41, without limitation.

In some embodiments, moving mass 441 is movable by moving lever 41 against a resistance of moving mass 441 such that moving mass 441 is out of a position that blocks movement of moving lever 41, thereby enabling movement of lever 41 between first side 4411 and second side 4412.

In one embodiment, an external force is directly applied to the shift lever 41, for example, by manually shifting the shift lever 41 to move the shift lever 41 and the moving block 441. In yet another embodiment, an external force is provided by automatic locking mechanism 43, and when external force is applied to lock cylinder 42, lock cylinder 42 moves shift rod 41 and causes shift rod 41 to move moving block 441, that is, when automatic locking mechanism 43 moves lock cylinder 42, lock cylinder 42 is restricted by shift rod 41. In this manner, movement of the automatic locking mechanism 43 moves the dial 41, and the dial 41 protrudes from the dial 20 or the rotary arm 10, enabling a user to determine whether the lock cylinder 42 is in the locked position or the unlocked position by observing the position of the dial 41.

Furthermore, when the automatic locking structure 43 drives the lock cylinder 42 to move to the locking position, the shift lever 41 is also driven to move to the locking position of the shift lever 41 (the position where the shift lever 41 stays when the lock cylinder 42 is locked), so that when unlocking is performed, the automatic locking structure 43 can drive the lock cylinder 42 to move to the unlocking position, or the user directly operates the shift lever 41 to move the lock cylinder 42 to the unlocking position, thereby realizing automatic or manual unlocking.

Similarly, when the automatic locking structure 43 drives the lock cylinder 42 to move to the unlocking position, the shift lever 41 is also driven to move to the unlocking position of the shift lever 41 (the position where the shift lever 41 stays when the lock cylinder 42 is unlocked), so that when the lock cylinder is locked, the automatic locking structure 43 can drive the lock cylinder 42 to move to the locking position, or the shift lever 41 is directly operated to move the lock cylinder 42 to the locking position, thereby realizing automatic or manual locking.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the floating positioning block 44 (i.e., the positioning mechanism 44, the same below) further includes an elastic member 442, and the elastic member 442 provides a pressure to the moving block 441 along the first direction Y1 to block the movement of the shift lever 41 between the first side 4411 of the moving block 441 and the second side 4412 of the moving block 441. For example, the elastic member 442 is a spring, and the spring is in a contracted state to generate an elastic force to provide a pressing force in the first direction Y1 to the moving block 441.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, floating positioning block 44 further includes a platen 443. The pressing plate 443 is disposed on the rotating disc 20 or the rotating arm 10, and the pressing plate 443 and the elastic member 442 are respectively connected to the pressing plate 443 and the moving block 441. The pressing plate 443 applies pressure in the first direction Y1 to the moving block 441 through the elastic member 442.

For example, in the embodiment of fig. 3, the platen 443 is fixedly disposed on the rotating arm 10, the pan/tilt head 1000 includes the key cylinder holder 50, the moving block 441 is housed in the key cylinder holder 50, one end of the elastic piece 442 is connected to the platen 443, and the other end is connected to the moving block 441, and the moving block 441 is movable in the first direction Y1 or the second direction Y2 with respect to the key cylinder holder 50. In the view shown in fig. 3, the pressing plate 443 is located above the moving block 441, and the pressure provided by the elastic member 442 moves and holds the moving block 441 lowermost in the key cylinder holder 50.

Referring to fig. 8, in the case where the operating member 41 moves between the first side 4411 and the second side 4412 of the moving block 441, the operating member 41 pushes the moving block 441 upward in the second direction Y2 against the pressing force of the elastic member 442 until the gap opened between the moving block 441 and the key cylinder holder 50 allows the operating member 41 to pass through to the first side 4411 or the second side 4412. After the operating member 41 reaches the first side 4411 or the second side 4412 through the gap, the external force is removed, and the moving block 441 is pressed down in the first direction Y1 by the pressure provided by the elastic member 442 to close the gap between the moving block 441 and the key cylinder holder 50, so that the operating member 41 cannot move freely between the first side 4411 and the second side 4412.

Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, moving block 441 includes a protruding portion 4413, protruding portion 4413 includes a vertex 4414 located between a first side 4411 and a second side 4412, and automatic locking mechanism 43 can move lock cylinder 42, so that lock cylinder 42 drives shift rod 41 to push moving block 441 to move along second direction Y2, so that shift rod 41 moves to first side 4411 or second side 4412 beyond vertex 4414. Similarly, the user can toggle the dial 41, causing the dial 41 to push the moving block 441 to move in the second direction Y2, so that the dial 41 moves to the first side 4411 or the second side 4412 beyond the vertex 4414.

Referring to fig. 8, the vertical downward direction is defined as a first direction Y1, the vertical upward direction is defined as a second direction Y2, the horizontal leftward direction is defined as a third direction X1, and the horizontal rightward direction is defined as a fourth direction X2. Taking the example of the lock cylinder 42 moving from the unlock position to the lock position, the shift lever 41 moves from the first side 4411 to the second side 4412 by an external force. Before the shift lever 41 goes beyond the vertex 4414, the external force drives the shift lever 41 to move along the third direction X1, and the moving block 441 blocks the shift lever 41 from moving along the third direction X1 under the pressure provided by the elastic element 442. In the process that the shift lever 41 reaches the position of the vertex 4414 from the first side 4411, the shift lever 41 pushes the moving block 441 to move in the second direction Y2 to open the gap between the moving block 441 and the key cylinder bracket 50 so that the shift lever 41 can pass through. After the shift lever 41 goes over the vertex 4414, the moving block 441 pushes down to push the shift lever 41 to move continuously along the third direction X1 under the pressure provided by the elastic member 442, so that the shift lever 41 reaches the second side 4412. Thus, after the lever 41 passes over the vertex 4414, the lever 41 can be pushed to the second side 4412 by the moving block 441 even if no external force acts on the lever 41. When the shift lever 41 is located on the second side 4412, if no external force acts on the shift lever 41, the shift lever 41 is always held on the second side 4412 by the pressure of the moving block 441, so that the key cylinder 42 is held in the lock position. The movement of lock cylinder 42 from the locked position to the unlocked position is similar to the process described above and will not be described in detail herein.

Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, the moving block 441 further includes a first inclined surface 4415 at the first side 4411 and a second inclined surface 4416 at the second side 4412, and a protrusion 4413 connecting the first inclined surface 4415 and the second inclined surface 4416. After the shift lever 41 passes the vertex 4414 from the first side 4411, when the moving block 441 is pressed down in the first direction Y1, the second inclined surface 4416 provides a component force to the shift lever 41 in the third direction X1, and pushes the shift lever 41 to move in the third direction X1. After the shift lever 41 passes the vertex 4414 from the second side 4412, when the moving block 441 is pressed down in the first direction Y1, the first inclined surface 4415 provides a component force to the shift lever 41 in the fourth direction X2, and pushes the shift lever 41 to move in the fourth direction X2.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the rotating arm 10 is provided with a long hole 22, such as a kidney-shaped hole, and the rod 41 extends from the long hole 22. In one embodiment, a user may determine the locked state of lock cylinder 42 by observing the position of dial 41 relative to elongated aperture 22. For example, in the embodiment of fig. 3, when toggle 41 is located at the leftmost side of elongated aperture 22, lock cylinder 42 is in the locked position; when toggle 41 is positioned at the rightmost side of elongated aperture 22, lock cylinder 42 is in the unlocked position. In one embodiment, when the toggle 41 is positioned at the leftmost or rightmost side of the bar 22, the toggle 41 is precisely engaged with the bar hole 22 to limit the rotational freedom of the toggle 41, so that the toggle 41 can be stably held at the leftmost or rightmost side.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the cradle head 1000 further includes an operating switch 60. An operation switch 60 is connected to the key cylinder 42. The operating switch 60 is partially exposed out of the rotary plate 20 or the rotary arm 10, and under the condition that an external force acts on the operating switch 60, the operating switch 60 can drive the lock cylinder 42 to move, and the lock cylinder 42 and the rotating shaft mechanism drive the shift lever 41 to move between the first side 4411 and the second side 4412.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the operating switch 60 includes a connecting shaft 61 and a toggle member 62. The connecting shaft 61 is provided to the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10. The toggle member 62 is rotatably provided to the connecting shaft 61 and connected to the key cylinder 42. Wherein the toggle piece 62 extends out of the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10. Referring to fig. 8, when the dial 62 is driven by external force to rotate, the dial 62 can drive the key cylinder 42 to move, and the key cylinder 42 drives the dial 41 to move to the first side 4411 or the second side 4412.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the shifting member 62 has a shaft hole 63, and the shaft hole 63 is disposed on the connecting shaft 61, so that the shifting member 62 is rotatably disposed on the connecting shaft 61. Under the action of external force, the toggle piece 62 can rotate around the connecting shaft 61 to drive the lock cylinder 42 to move.

Referring to fig. 7, in one embodiment, plug 42 includes a coupling portion 425, coupling portion 425 coupling lock head 421 and plug body 422. The first end 621 of the toggle member 62 includes a fitting groove 64, and the connecting portion 425 is fitted and connected to the fitting groove 64. In another embodiment, the first end of the toggle member 62 and the connecting portion 425 can be connected by a snap-fit, a mortise, a screw, etc., without limitation.

Referring to fig. 7, in an embodiment, a second end 622 of the toggle member 62 opposite to the first end 621 includes a toggle portion 623, and the toggle portion 623 extends out of the turntable 20 or the rotating arm 10, so that a user can apply an external force to the toggle portion 623 to drive the toggle member 62 to rotate. The surface of the dial portion 623 is provided with an anti-slip texture, for example, an anti-slip texture composed of a plurality of raised lines spaced apart from each other, to prevent a user from slipping when applying an external force to the dial portion 623.

Referring to fig. 9, in some embodiments, lock cylinder 42 includes first and second spaced-apart engagement portions 4231 and 4232, and transmission member 4312 includes transmission sub-portion 43123, which is located in the space between first and second engagement portions 4231 and 4232. When the transmission member 4312 moves along the third direction X1, the transmission sub-portion can drive the first matching portion 423 to move along the third direction X1, so as to drive the lock head 421 to move to the locking position. When the transmission member 4312 moves along the fourth direction X2, the transmission sub-portion can drive the second matching portion 423 to move along the fourth direction X2, so as to drive the lock head 421 to move to the unlocking position.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, lock cylinder 42 includes a matching portion 423, transmission member 4312 includes a first sub-portion 43121 and a second sub-portion 43122 spaced apart from each other, when transmission member 4312 moves, first sub-portion 43121 is configured to drive matching portion 423 to move, so that lock cylinder 42 moves to a locking position, and second sub-portion 43122 is configured to drive matching portion 423 to move, so that lock cylinder 42 moves to an unlocking position.

Referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, the engaging portion 423 extends from the lock core body 422 and is located in a space between the first sub-portion 43121 and the second sub-portion 43122. When the transmission member 4312 moves along the third direction X1, the first sub-portion 43121 can drive the engaging portion 423 to move along the third direction X1, so as to drive the lock head 421 to move to the locking position. When the transmission member 4312 moves along the fourth direction X2, the second sub-portion 43122 can drive the engaging portion 423 to move along the fourth direction X2, so as to drive the lock head 421 to move to the unlocking position.

Referring to fig. 10, in some embodiments, when the engaging portion 423 is located at the first position D1, the key cylinder 42 is in the locked state, the relative rotation between the rotary plate 20 and the rotary arm 10 is limited, and the transmission member 4312 is located at the preset position. When the engagement portion 423 is located at the second position D2, the key cylinder 42 is in the unlocked state, the restriction of the relative rotation between the dial 20 and the rotary arm 10 is released, and the transmission member 4312 is located at the predetermined position. The preset position is a position where the automatic locking structure 43 does not affect the movement of the operation member 41 with the key cylinder 42. In the embodiment of fig. 10, the transmission members 4312 of both the left and right figures are in preset positions. When the transmission member 4312 is located at the preset position, the first position D1 and the second position D2 are both located between the first sub-portion 43121 and the second sub-portion 43122, so that no matter the lock cylinder 42 is moved by the operating member 41 for locking or unlocking, the first sub-portion 43121 and the second sub-portion 43122 do not block the engaging portion 423 from moving to the first position D1 or the second position D2, that is, the transmission member 4312 does not block the lock cylinder 42 from moving during locking or unlocking.

Referring to fig. 8, in an embodiment, taking an example that the automatic locking structure 43 drives the key cylinder 42 to lock, a process of the automatic locking structure 43 driving the key cylinder 42 to unlock is similar to a locking process, and only a moving direction of the transmission member 4312, the key cylinder 42, and the shift lever 41 in the unlocking process is opposite to the locking process, which is not described in detail below. After the shift lever 41 moves from the first side 4411 of the moving block 441 to cross the vertex 4414 along the third direction X1, the shift lever 41 reaches the second side 4412, the moving block 441 moves along the first direction Y1 under the pressure provided by the elastic element 442, and pushes the shift lever 41 to move continuously along the third direction X1, so that the shift lever 41 drives the lock cylinder 42 to move continuously along the third direction X1, and when the matching portion 423 moves to the first position D1, the lock cylinder 42 is located at the locking position and is in the locking state. Therefore, the first sub-portion 43121 only needs to drive the engaging portion 423 to move along the third direction X1, so that the key cylinder 42 drives the shift lever 41 to move along the third direction X1 and cross the vertex 4414, and the shift lever 41 is pushed by the moving block 441 to continue to move along the third direction X1 to drive the key cylinder 42 to move to the locking position, without the need that the first sub-portion 43121 continuously drives the engaging portion 423 to move along the third direction X1 until the key cylinder 42 moves to the locking position.

In order to avoid that the matching portion 423 is blocked by the first sub-portion 43121 and cannot move to the second position D2 to unlock the lock cylinder 42 when the shift lever 41 is driven by an external force to move along the fourth direction X2, when the matching portion 423 is located at the first position D1, the transmission member 4312 needs to be located at the predetermined position, and since the second position D2 is located between the first sub-portion 43121 and the second sub-portion 43122, the first sub-portion 43121 does not block the matching portion 423 from moving in the process of moving the matching portion 423 to the second position D2.

Referring to fig. 8, in one embodiment, the transmission member 4312 returns to the predetermined position after the lever 41 passes over the vertex 4414 from the first side 4411 of the moving block 441. Since the first position D1 is located between the first sub-portion 43121 and the second sub-portion 43122 when the transmission member 4312 is located at the predetermined position, the second sub-portion 43122 does not block the movement of the engaging portion 423 along the third direction X1 during the process of returning the transmission member 4312 to the predetermined position, so that the processes of the lever 41 being pushed by the moving block 441 to move along the third direction X1 and the transmission member 4312 moving back to the predetermined position along the fourth direction X2 can be performed simultaneously, thereby improving the locking efficiency.

Referring to fig. 8 and 10, according to the above embodiment, the process of locking the lock cylinder 42 by the automatic locking structure 43 is as follows: the transmission member 4312 moves from the preset position along the third direction X1, so that the first sub-portion 43121 drives the engaging portion 423 to move along the third direction X1; after the shift lever 41 passes over the vertex 4414, the transmission member 4312 moves in the fourth direction X2 to return to the preset position while the shift lever 41 continues to move in the third direction X1 pushed by the moving block 441; and when the key cylinder 42 moves to the locking position, and the key cylinder 42 is located at the locking position and is in the locking state, the engaging portion 423 is located at the first position D1, and the transmission member 4312 is located at the predetermined position. Similarly, the process of automatic locking mechanism 43 unlocking lock cylinder 42 is as follows: the transmission member 4312 moves from the preset position along the fourth direction X2, so that the second sub-portion 43122 drives the engaging portion 423 to move along the fourth direction X2; after the shift lever 41 passes over the vertex 4414, the transmission member 4312 moves in the third direction X1 to return to the preset position while the shift lever 41 continues to move in the fourth direction X2 pushed by the moving block 441; and when the lock cylinder 42 is moved to the unlocking position and the lock cylinder 42 is located at the unlocking position and is in the unlocking state, the matching part 423 is located at the second position D2, and the transmission member 4312 is located at the preset position.

Referring to fig. 11, in some embodiments, the locking system 40 includes a position detecting mechanism 47 for detecting whether the transmission member 4312 of the automatic locking mechanism 43 is located at a predetermined position, and when the transmission member 4312 is located at the predetermined position, the driving member 4311 of the automatic locking mechanism 43 stops driving the transmission member 4312. In this way, it can be ensured that the transmission member 4312 can accurately stay at the preset position to prevent the transmission member 4312 from blocking the movement of the lock cylinder 42 during manual locking.

In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 47 includes a sensor 471, and the transmission member 4312 further includes a positioning portion 4314, wherein the sensor detects the positioning portion 4314 to determine whether the transmission member 4312 is located at the preset position. In one embodiment, the sensor includes a photoelectric sensor, a magnetic sensor, and the like, without limitation. Positioning portion 4314 moves together with transmission member 4312, and when the sensor can detect positioning portion 4314, transmission member 4312 is determined to be located at the preset position, and when the sensor cannot detect positioning portion 4314, transmission member 4312 is determined to be away from the preset position. In a further embodiment, the sensor is a signal receiver, and the positioning portion 4314 is provided with a signal emitter capable of receiving a signal emitted by the signal emitter to determine the position of the transmission member 4312, for example calculating the distance between the emitter and the receiver according to the time of flight of the signal to determine the position of the transmission member according to the distance.

Referring to fig. 7 and 11, in some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 47 includes a circuit board, and the sensor 471 is electrically connected to the circuit board 472. In one embodiment, circuit board 472 is provided with a processor (not shown) for determining the position of drive member 4312 based on data obtained by sensor 471. For example, the sensor 471 includes a photoelectric sensor, when the transmission member 4312 is at a preset position, the level of the photoelectric sensor 471 (i.e., the sensor 471, the same applies below) changes, and the processor determines the position of the transmission member 4312 according to the level change of the photoelectric sensor 471.

Referring to fig. 11, in an embodiment, the sensor 471 includes a photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric sensor 471 (i.e., the sensor 471, the same applies hereinafter) includes a light emitting member 4711 and a light receiving member 4712, and the position detecting mechanism 47 determines that the transmission member 4312 is located at the predetermined position when the positioning portion 4314 blocks the light emitting member 4711 so that the light receiving member 4712 cannot receive the light projected by the light emitting member 4711. For example, the light-emitting member 4711 continuously projects light toward the light-receiving member 4712, when the transmission member 4312 leaves the preset position, the positioning portion 4314 does not shield the light-receiving member 4712, the light-receiving member 4712 can receive the light projected by the light-emitting member 4711, and thus the position detection mechanism 47 determines that the transmission member 4312 leaves the preset position when the light-receiving member 4712 can receive the light projected by the light-emitting member 4711. Under the condition that the transmission member 4312 is located at the preset position, the positioning portion 4314 may shield the light-emitting member 4711, so that the light-receiving member 4712 cannot receive the light projected by the light-emitting member 4711, and thus under the condition that the positioning portion 4314 shields the light-emitting member 4711, so that the light-receiving member 4712 cannot receive the light projected by the light-emitting member 4711, the position detection mechanism 47 determines that the transmission member 4312 is located at the preset position.

Referring to fig. 8 and 10, in some embodiments, the driving member 4311 comprises a stepping motor, and the driving mechanism 431 can determine the position of the transmission member 4312 according to the step length of the movement of the stepping motor 4311 (i.e., the driving member 4311, the same applies below) and the position of the lock cylinder 42 according to the position of the transmission member 4312. In one embodiment, the position of the stepping motor 4311 is set to an initial position, i.e., a position of step size "0", in a case where the transmission member 4312 is located at a preset position. When the step of the stepping motor 4311 is increased, the transmission member 4312 moves in the third direction X1, and when the step of the stepping motor 4311 is decreased, the transmission member 4312 moves in the fourth direction X2. When the step motor 4311 changes the step length of one unit, the transmission member 4312 moves by a corresponding distance, and the positive and negative of the step length of the step motor 4311 indicate the position of the transmission member 4312 relative to the preset position. For example, each step of the stepping motor 4311 corresponds to 0.001mm of movement of the transmission member 4312, and if the step of the stepping motor 4311 is "+400", it can be determined that the transmission member 4312 moves 0.4mm in the third direction X1 relative to the preset position; if the step size of the stepping motor 4311 is "-200", it can be determined that the transmission member 4312 moves 0.2mm in the fourth direction X2 with respect to the preset position.

In some embodiments, the stepper motor 4311 comprises a stepper motor stator (not shown) and a stepper motor rotor (not shown), wherein the stepper motor rotor rotates one revolution relative to the stepper motor stator to change the stepper motor 4311 by 8 unit steps, i.e., each step of the stepper motor 4311 corresponds to a 45 ° rotation of the stepper motor rotor relative to the stepper motor stator. In one embodiment, the electrical period of each rotation of the stepping motor 4311 is a determined value, and the stepping motor 4311 can be driven to rotate by a predetermined angle with a predetermined electrical period to drive the transmission member 4312 to move by a predetermined distance, so as to precisely control the moving distance of the transmission member 4312. In yet another embodiment, the rotation rate of the step motor 4311 is a predetermined value, and the step motor 4311 can be precisely driven to rotate by a predetermined angle by controlling the step motor 4311 to rotate at the predetermined rotation rate for a predetermined time, so as to drive the transmission member 4312 to move by a predetermined distance, thereby precisely controlling the movement distance of the transmission member 4312.

Referring to fig. 8 and 10, in some embodiments, the step motor 4311 drives the transmission member 4312 to move along the third direction X1, and when the step motor 4311 increases by a first predetermined step length from the initial position, the center of the shift lever 41 is aligned with the center of the protrusion 4413, and the shift lever 41 tends to move along the third direction X1. In this case, even if the stepping motor 4311 stops outputting, the shift lever 41 passes over the boss 4413 to the second side 4412 by the pressure of the moving block 441.

In one embodiment, when the transmission member 4312 moves in the third direction X1 and the step length of the stepping motor 4311 reaches the first preset step length, the stepping motor 4311 starts to decrease the step length to drive the transmission member 4312 to move back to the preset position in the fourth direction X2, during which the transmission member 4312 moves in the third direction X1 at a speed lower than the speed at which the transmission member 4312 moves in the fourth direction X2. That is, when the step length of the stepping motor 4311 reaches the first preset step length, the lock cylinder 42 is driven to move to the locking position through the shift lever 41 by the pressure of the moving block 441 on the shift lever 41 without continuously driving the lock cylinder 42 through the transmission member 4312. Therefore, when the step length of the step motor 4311 reaches the first predetermined step length, the step motor 4311 is controlled to decrease the step length to drive the transmission member 4312 to move back to the predetermined position along the fourth direction X2. When the transmission member 4312 drives the lock cylinder 42 to move along the third direction X1, the resistance of the moving block 441 needs to be overcome, and when the transmission member 4312 moves along the fourth direction X2 to return to the preset position, the resistance of the moving block 441 does not affect the movement of the transmission member 4312, so that the movement speed can be increased, for example, the rotation speed of the stepping motor 4311 is increased to increase the movement speed, so as to shorten the movement time and reduce noise and jitter.

Similarly, when the transmission member 4312 moves in the fourth direction X2 and the step length of the stepping motor 4311 reaches the second preset step length, the stepping motor 4311 starts to increase the step length to drive the transmission member 4312 to move back to the preset position in the third direction X1, and during this process, the speed of the transmission member 4312 moving in the fourth direction X2 is less than the speed of the transmission member 4312 moving in the third direction X1, so as to shorten the moving time and reduce noise and jitter. The first preset step length and the second preset step length are respectively a positive value and a negative value. In one embodiment, the first sub-portion 43121 and the second sub-portion 43122 are symmetrically disposed with respect to the center of the transmission member 4312, and the second predetermined step length is opposite to the first predetermined step length. For example, the first preset step size is "+1000" steps, the second preset step size is "-1000" steps, the step size starts to decrease when the step size of the stepping motor 4311 reaches "+1000" steps, the step size starts to increase when the step size of the stepping motor 4311 reaches "-1000" steps, and the transmission member 4312 is at the preset position when the step size of the stepping motor 4311 reaches "0" steps.

Referring to fig. 10 and 11, in some embodiments, the width of the positioning portion 4314 is a determined value, and when the edge of the positioning portion 4314 blocks the light-emitting member 4711, the stepping motor 4311 drives the transmission member 4312 to move the width of the positioning portion 4314 by a half of the current moving direction, so that the center of the width of the positioning portion 4314 is aligned with the center of the light-emitting member 4711, in which case, the transmission member 4312 is determined to reach the preset position, so as to accurately determine that the transmission member 4312 reaches the preset position.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the cradle head 1000 further includes a lock cylinder bracket 50, and the locking system 40 is mounted on the lock cylinder bracket 50. In one embodiment, the lock cylinder holder 50 is a unitary structure with the dial 20 or the swivel arm 10. In yet another embodiment, the lock cylinder bracket 50 is fixedly mounted to the turntable 20 or the swivel arm 10 to achieve modularity in the assembly of the locking system 40, enabling the locking system 40 to be mounted to different models of turntables 20 or swivel arms 10 via the lock cylinder bracket 50. In yet another embodiment, the cylinder holder 50 is rotatably mounted to the dial 20 or the swivel arm 10. For example, the dial 20 is coupled to the stator 31 of the motor 30, the rotary arm 10 is coupled to the rotor 32 of the motor 30, and the lock cylinder bracket 50 is rotatably mounted to the dial 20, or fixedly mounted to the rotary arm 10, to enable the locking system 40 to rotate relative to the motor 30.

Referring to fig. 1, in an embodiment, the swing arm 10 includes a first swing arm 91 connected to the turntable 20 and a second swing arm 92, the first swing arm 91 is connected to the stator 31 of the motor 30, the turntable 20 is connected to the rotor 32 of the motor 30, and the rotor 32 of the motor 30 rotates to rotate the first swing arm 91 relative to the turntable 20, so that the first swing arm 91 rotates relative to the second swing arm 92. The locking system 40 is provided on the first rotating arm 91 to restrict relative rotation between the first rotating arm 91 and the turntable 20, thereby restricting rotation between the first rotating arm 91 and the second rotating arm 92.

Referring to fig. 2 and 12, in some embodiments, the number of the rotating shaft mechanisms 100 is three, which are respectively the first rotating shaft mechanism 101, the second rotating shaft mechanism 102 and the third rotating shaft mechanism 103, the first rotating shaft mechanism 101 includes a first motor 301 for driving the first rotating arm 91 to rotate, the second rotating shaft mechanism 102 includes a second motor 302 for driving the second rotating arm 92 to rotate, and the third rotating shaft mechanism 103 includes a third motor 303 for driving the third rotating arm 93 to rotate. Each spindle mechanism 100 (first spindle mechanism 101, second spindle mechanism 102, third spindle mechanism 103) includes a corresponding locking system 40.

In one embodiment, the first rotating arm 91, the second rotating arm 92, and the third rotating arm 93 are capable of rotating around a roll axis, a yaw axis, and a pitch axis, respectively, and a load is carried on the third rotating arm 93, thereby having a high degree of freedom.

In one embodiment, the head 1000 includes a folded position and an unfolded position. In the folded position, the first pivoting arm 91 at least partially overlaps the second pivoting arm 92, and the second pivoting arm 92 at least partially overlaps the third pivoting arm 93. In the deployed posture, the first pivot arm 91 and the second pivot arm 92 do not overlap, and the second pivot arm 92 and the third pivot arm 93 do not overlap.

In one embodiment, the head 1000 comprises a partially folded position in which the first rotary arm 91 at least partially coincides with the second rotary arm 92, or the second rotary arm 92 at least partially coincides with the third rotary arm 93.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 12, in an embodiment, when the pan/tilt head 1000 is in a shutdown state, the lock cylinder 42 of the first rotating shaft mechanism 101, the lock cylinder 42 of the second rotating shaft mechanism 102 and the lock cylinder 42 of the third rotating shaft mechanism 103 are located at the locking positions, and the transmission member 4312 of the first rotating shaft mechanism 101, the transmission member 4312 of the second rotating shaft mechanism 102 and the transmission member 4312 of the third rotating shaft mechanism 103 are located at the preset positions. The toggle member 62 or the operation member 41 in the locking system 40 of any one of the hinge mechanisms 100 can be manually toggled to unlock or lock the corresponding rotating arm (the first rotating arm 91, the second rotating arm 92 and/or the third rotating arm 93).

In one embodiment, when the cradle head 1000 is powered on, at least one of the locking systems 40 of the first rotating shaft mechanism 101, the second rotating shaft mechanism 102 and the third rotating shaft mechanism 103 may be automatically unlocked, so that the corresponding motor may drive the lock cylinder of the corresponding rotating shaft mechanism to move to the unlocking position, thereby implementing automatic unlocking by flexibly controlling different rotating shaft mechanisms, and flexibly controlling the unfolding posture of the cradle head. In one embodiment, when the cradle head 1000 is powered on, when the lock cylinder 42 of the first rotating shaft mechanism 101 and the lock cylinder 42 of the second rotating shaft mechanism 102 both reach the unlocking position and the lock cylinder 42 of the third rotating shaft mechanism 103 is still at the locking position, the first motor 301 and the second motor 302 can respectively drive and drive the first rotating arm 91 and the second rotating arm 92 to rotate, while the third rotating arm 93 is kept still, so that the cradle head 1000 is switched from the folding posture to the specific unfolding posture.

In one embodiment, when the pan/tilt head 1000 is powered on, the locking systems 40 of the first rotating shaft mechanism 101, the second rotating shaft mechanism 102 and the third rotating shaft mechanism 103 are automatically unlocked, and the lock cylinder 42 of the first rotating shaft mechanism 101, the lock cylinder 42 of the second rotating shaft mechanism 102 and the lock cylinder 42 of the third rotating shaft mechanism 103 are driven to move to the unlocking position. In one embodiment, when lock cylinder 42 of first rotating shaft mechanism 101, lock cylinder 42 of second rotating shaft mechanism 102 and lock cylinder 42 of third rotating shaft mechanism 103 reach the unlocking position, first motor 301, second motor 302 and third motor 303 respectively drive first rotating arm 91, second rotating arm 92 and third rotating arm 93 to rotate, so that pan/tilt head 1000 is switched from the folding posture to the unfolding posture. In one embodiment, the time from the locked state to the unlocked state of lock cylinder 42 of first pivot mechanism 101, lock cylinder 42 of second pivot mechanism 102, and lock cylinder 42 of third pivot mechanism 103 is a determined value, and after the cradle head 1000 is powered on, the three motors 30 are rotated to change the attitude of the cradle head 1000 after waiting for the longest unlocking time among the unlocking times of lock cylinder 42 of first pivot mechanism 101, lock cylinder 42 of second pivot mechanism 102, and lock cylinder 42 of third pivot mechanism 103. For example, the unlocking time of the key cylinder 42 of the first rotating shaft mechanism is the longest, and is set as the first time, after the cradle head 1000 is turned on and waits for the first time, the first motor 301, the second motor 302, and the third motor 303 all start to rotate, so that the cradle head 1000 is switched from the folding posture to the unfolding posture. In one embodiment, when the cradle head 1000 is switched from the folded posture to the unfolded posture, the first motor 301, the second motor 302 and the third motor 303 sequentially go through an acceleration rotation stage, a constant speed rotation stage and a deceleration rotation stage from rest, and finally decelerate to rest. In another embodiment, any one of the motors 30 of the first motor 301, the second motor 302 and the third motor 303 may not undergo the constant speed rotation phase, and is not limited herein.

In one embodiment, when the pan/tilt head 1000 is turned on and in normal use, the first motor 301, the second motor 302 and the third motor 303 can rotate freely, so as to drive the first rotating arm 91, the second rotating arm 92 and the third rotating arm 93 to rotate freely. In this state, the key cylinder 42 of the first rotating shaft mechanism 101, the key cylinder 42 of the second rotating shaft mechanism 102, and the key cylinder 42 of the third rotating shaft mechanism 103 are located at the unlocking positions, and the transmission 4312 of the first rotating shaft mechanism 101, the transmission 4312 of the second rotating shaft mechanism 102, and the transmission 4312 of the third rotating shaft mechanism 103 are located at the predetermined positions. The toggle piece 62 in the locking system 40 of any rotating shaft mechanism 100 can be manually toggled to lock the corresponding rotating arm (the first rotating arm 91, the second rotating arm 92 and/or the third rotating arm 93); the driving member 4311 of any locking system 40 can also be controlled to drive the transmission member 4312 to move, so as to drive the corresponding lock cylinder 42 to move to the locking position, so that the corresponding rotating arm (the first rotating arm 91, the second rotating arm 92 and/or the third rotating arm 93) is locked. The unfolding posture of the holder can be flexibly controlled by controlling each lock cylinder to the locking position.

In one embodiment, when the head 1000 is powered off, the first motor 301, the second motor 302, and the third motor 303 respectively drive the first rotating arm 91, the second rotating arm 92, and the third rotating arm 93 to rotate, so that the head 1000 is switched from the unfolding posture to the folding posture. When the pan/tilt head 1000 is in the folded posture, the driving element 4311 of the first pivot mechanism 101, the driving element 4311 of the second pivot mechanism 102 and the driving element 4311 of the third pivot mechanism 103 respectively drive the transmission element 4312 of the first pivot mechanism 101, the transmission element 4312 of the second pivot mechanism 102 and the transmission element 4312 of the third pivot mechanism 103 to move, so that the lock cylinder 42 of the first pivot mechanism 101, the lock cylinder 42 of the second pivot mechanism 102 and the lock cylinder 42 of the third pivot mechanism 103 all move to the locked positions, and the first pivot arm 91, the second pivot arm 92 and the third pivot arm 93 are locked. The power of the motor 30 is turned off after the locking is completed.

In one embodiment, when the pan/tilt head 1000 is powered off, at least one of the locking systems 40 of the first, second and third pivot mechanisms 101, 102 and 103 may be automatically locked, so that the corresponding pivot arm not in the locked position is in the locked position, thereby flexibly controlling the powered-off position of the pan/tilt head. In one embodiment, when the head 1000 is shut down, the driving member 4311 of the first pivot mechanism 101 drives the transmission member 4312 of the first pivot mechanism 101 to move, so that the key cylinder 42 of the first pivot mechanism 101 is moved to the locking position, and the first rotation arm 91 which is not in the locking posture is in the locking posture. The second hinge mechanism 102 is not automatically locked, the second rotating arm 92 can still rotate to a specific posture, and then the user can lock the second rotating arm 92 by manually dialing the dialing member 62 in the locking system 40 of the second hinge mechanism 102.

In one embodiment, when the motor 30 detects a locked-rotor condition, the corresponding rotating arm of the motor 30 is deemed to be locked. For example, by detecting the torque or the rotation speed of the first motor 301, it is determined that the first motor 301 is locked, and it is determined that the first rotating arm 91 completes the locking.

In one embodiment, the user may select the pose he or she is holding when the head 1000 is powered off. For example, if the user selects to maintain the deployed attitude when the cradle head 1000 is powered off, the motor 30 rotates to adjust the attitude of the cradle head 1000 to the deployed attitude when the cradle head 1000 is powered off, and the driving member 4311 locks the rotating arm when the cradle head 1000 is in the deployed attitude.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, lock cylinders 42 include lock heads 421, each lock cylinder 42 corresponding to a plurality of lock openings 21, and lock cylinders 42 reach a locked position when lock heads 421 are fully inserted into lock openings 21. The key cylinder 42 extends into different locking openings 21 to enable the corresponding swivel arms to be held in different positions. The rotary table 20 or the rotary arm 10 where the lock cylinder 42 is located is arranged on the rotary arm, and when the motor 30 corresponding to the rotary arm drives the rotary arm to move, the lock cylinder 42 sequentially passes through each corresponding lock notch 21.

In one embodiment, the relative position of the lock head 421 and the lock notch 21 when the motor 30 is at a certain angle can be determined according to the relationship between the positions of the plurality of lock notches 21 and the angle of change of the motor 30 relative to the starting position. For example, the locking notch 21 includes a first locking notch 211, a second locking notch 212, a third locking notch 213, and a fourth locking notch 214 aperture. When the relative initial position of the motor 30 changes by 0 degree, the lock head 421 faces the first lock opening 211, when the relative initial position of the motor 30 changes by 90 degrees, the lock head 421 faces the second lock opening 212, when the relative initial position of the motor 30 changes by 180 degrees, the lock head 421 faces the third lock opening 213, and when the relative initial position of the motor 30 changes by 270 degrees, the lock head 421 faces the fourth lock opening 211. In one embodiment, the rotation angle of the motor 30 may be determined according to the rotation speed and the rotation time of the motor 30. In yet another embodiment, the head 1000 further comprises an angle sensor for acquiring the rotation angle of the motor 30.

In one embodiment, the cradle head 1000 determines the target attitude and the target locking notch 21 corresponding to the target attitude according to the input of the user. The target posture is a posture held by the rotating arm, and the target lock notch 21 is a lock notch 21 into which the lock head 421 is inserted when the rotating arm is held in the target posture. In one embodiment, when the motor 30 rotates until the lock head 421 is close to the target lock opening 21, the motor 30 starts to rotate at a reduced speed, and when the motor 30 rotates until the lock head 421 is opposite to the target lock opening 21, the motor 30 stops rotating, and the driving member 4311 drives the transmission member 4312 to move the lock cylinder 42, so that the lock head 421 completely extends into the target lock opening 21.

Referring to fig. 3, in another embodiment, the locking system 40 includes a floating positioning block 44, and the floating positioning block 44 includes a resilient member 442 and a moving block 441. Referring to fig. 8 and 10, after the lock 421 leaves the previous lock slot 21 of the target lock slot 21, the driving member 4311 drives the transmission member 4312 to move the lock cylinder 42; before the lock head 421 is opposite to the target lock opening 21, the shift lever 41 passes over the protruding portion 4413 of the moving block 441, the elastic force of the elastic element 442 enables the moving block 441 to push the shift lever 41 to drive the lock cylinder 42 to continue to move towards the locking position, however, because the lock head 421 is not opposite to the lock opening 21 yet, the lock head 421 cannot completely extend into the lock opening 21, the lock cylinder 42 cannot reach the locking position yet, and at this time, the lock head 421 has a movement tendency towards the direction of extending into the lock opening 21; at the moment when the motor 30 continues to rotate until the lock head 421 is opposite to the target lock opening 21, under the elastic force of the elastic element 442, the moving block 441 pushes the shift lever 41 to drive the lock cylinder 42 to move to the locking position, and the lock head 421 completely extends into the lock opening 21 and blocks the motor 30, so that the motor 30 is instantly decelerated to stop rotating.

With reference to fig. 8, 10, and 13, for example, after the target posture is determined, a target motion track of the motor 30 corresponding to the target posture is obtained, where the target motion track is a relation between a path of the motor 30 moving from a static state to a state in which the motor 30 decelerates to stop rotating in a process in which the motor 30 drives the rotating arm to move to the target posture and time, and for example, according to the target motion track, a first time T1 corresponding to a last locking notch 21 at which the locking head 421 leaves the target locking notch 21 and a second time T2 corresponding to a time at which the motor 30 stops rotating can be determined. The second time T2 is also the time when the lock 421 is opposite to the target lock 21. The driving member 4311 is activated at a first time T1, and the driving transmission member 4312 drives the lock cylinder 42 to move, so that the lock cylinder 42 drives the shift rod 41 to cross the protruding portion 4413 of the moving block 441 before a second time T2, thereby ensuring that the moving block 441 can push the shift rod 41 to drive the lock cylinder 42 to move to the locking position at the second time T2. In one embodiment, the driving member 4311 is a step motor, the distance that the transmission member 4312 moves from the predetermined position to the position where the driving lever 41 moves over the protrusion 4413 is determined, and the number of steps that the step motor changes is determined, so that the rotation speed and the step changing frequency of the step motor can be determined, the step motor is changed by the predetermined number of steps before the second time T2, the driving lever 41 moves over the protrusion 4413, and the driving lever 41 is in the state where the floating positioning block 44 drives the lock cylinder 42 to move towards the locking position before the second time T2, so as to ensure that the lock cylinder 421 can be "popped" into the lock opening 21 at the moment when the lock cylinder is facing the lock opening 21.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the cradle head 1000 further includes a supporting mechanism 80, and the supporting mechanism 80 is used for supporting the rotating shaft mechanism 100. In one embodiment, the head 1000 includes a plurality of motors 30, and the support mechanism 80 is coupled to the stator 31 of one of the motors 30. In yet another embodiment, the turntable 20 is coupled to the stator 31 of the motor 30 and the support mechanism 80 is coupled to the turntable 20. In yet another embodiment, the motor 1000 includes a rotating arm 90, the turntable 20 is connected to the stator 31 of the motor 30, the rotating arm 90 is connected to the turntable 20, and the support mechanism 80 is connected to the rotating arm 90. And are not intended to be limiting herein.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the supporting mechanism 80 includes a first button 81 and a display 82. The first key 81 can be kept pressed to keep the head 1000 in the first operating mode. While the first key 81 is kept pressed, the display screen 82 can display a first prompt message including prompting the user to select the hold mode, and after the user selects the hold mode, the pan/tilt head 1000 can maintain the first operating mode even if the first key 81 is released.

For example, the first operating mode is a motion mode, and after the cradle head 1000 enters the first operating mode, the cradle head 1000 can automatically control the rotating shaft mechanism 100 to move or rotate in a state that the user holds the cradle head 1000 for motion, so that the equipment carried by the cradle head 1000 is kept stable. Generally, the pan/tilt head 1000 is mostly used for shooting in a fixed position mounted device, and has few scenes applied to a motion state, and does not need to continuously enter a motion mode, so that the pan/tilt head 1000 is kept in the motion mode when the first key 81 is kept pressed, and the motion mode can be timely exited when the first key 81 is released, so as to save power consumption. Similarly, the first operating mode may also be an operating mode corresponding to other application scenarios, for example, the first operating mode is a locking mode, the rotating shaft mechanism 100 maintains a fixed posture when the pan/tilt head 1000 is in the locking mode, and the like, which are not limited herein.

In some application scenarios, the cradle head 1000 is required to be continuously in the first working mode, if the user keeps pressing the first button 81 all the time, fatigue of the user may be increased, and the user must keep pressing the first button 81 and cannot free up hands to perform other works. After the user selects the holding mode, even if the first key 81 is released, the cradle head 1000 can hold the first working mode, so that the cradle head 1000 can keep the first working mode without continuously pressing the first key 81, and convenience is improved.

In some embodiments, the display 82 can also display a second prompt when the platform 1000 is in the first operating mode, the second prompt including prompting the user to select the exit mode, and the platform 1000 can exit the first operating mode after the user selects the exit mode. After the cradle head 1000 exits the first operating mode, the cradle head 1000 can enter the first operating mode by pressing the first key 81 again.

In one embodiment, the display screen 82 includes a touch screen on which a user can select a hold mode or an exit mode, enabling the user to conveniently and intuitively view and select the operational mode.

In yet another embodiment, the first key 81 can be operated to enable the head 1000 to exit the hold mode or the first operating mode. In one embodiment, the cradle head 1000 is caused to exit the first mode of operation in the event that the pressed first key 81 is released. In a further embodiment, in the case where the head 1000 is in the hold mode, the head 1000 is caused to exit the hold mode or the first operating mode by double-clicking the first button 81 with a quick click.

In some embodiments, the display 82 is located on the front side of the support mechanism 80 and the first button 81 is located on the back side of the support mechanism 80. When the user holds the support mechanism 80, the holding posture is usually such that the thumb is located on the front side of the support mechanism 80 and the other four fingers are located on the rear side of the support mechanism 80. In the case that the display 82 is located on the front side of the support mechanism 80, and the first button 81 is located on the back side of the support mechanism 80, it is possible to facilitate the user to operate the display 82 by the thumb, and to operate the first button 81 by another four fingers, for example, by the index finger, thereby enabling the user to control the display 82 and the first button 81 with one hand.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the support mechanism 80 further includes a second button 83, and the user can operate the second button 83 to select the hold mode after the first prompt is displayed on the display 82, or the user can operate the second button 83 to select the exit mode after the second prompt is displayed on the display 82. The second button 83 may be located on the back or front of the support mechanism 80.

In one embodiment, the second key 83 is located on the front side of the support mechanism 80. In the application scenario of the one-handed control, after the display screen 82 displays the first prompt message, the user can operate the second key 83 with the thumb to select the hold mode. After the second prompt message is displayed on the display 82, the user can operate the second button 83 with the thumb to exit the hold mode.

In yet another embodiment, the second key 83 is located on the back of the support mechanism 80. In the application scenario of the one-handed control, after the display screen 82 displays the first prompt information, the user can operate the display screen 82 with the thumb to select the hold mode. After the second prompt message is displayed on the display 82, the user can operate the second button 83 with the other four fingers to exit the hold mode. If the second key 83 is operated to exit the hold mode and the first key 81 is in a pressed state, the cradle head 1000 is still in the first operating mode after exiting the hold mode until the first key 81 is released. If the first key 81 has been released when the second key 83 is operated to exit the hold mode, the first operating mode is also exited while the head 1000 exits the hold mode.

Referring to fig. 14, the present application further provides a movable platform 2000, which includes a movable platform body 2100 and the cradle head 1000 of any of the above embodiments. The movable platform 2000 includes an unmanned aerial vehicle, an unmanned ship, an automobile, a new energy vehicle, and the like, which are not limited herein. In one embodiment, the cradle head 1000 is detachably mounted to the movable platform body 2100, and a user can unload the cradle head 1000 from the movable platform body 2100 for handheld use and can load the cradle head 1000 onto the movable platform body 2100 for use.
