Abstract

The device has a carriage constituted of a flat element, a nut and a reduction system, where the carriage is moved on a monorail. A camera is placed on the flat element, and a motor is fixed on the monorail. A trapezoidal screw is fixed on the monorail, and is rotated by the motor to cause linear displacement of the carriage through the nut. A rack fixed on the monorail acts with a pinion of the reduction system of the carriage so as to exert an action on a gear reducer to rotate the camera.

Description

La présente invention consiste à remplacer le système de pilotage manuel d'une caméra en mouvement sur un traveling par un mécanisme automatique. Gestion de caméra dans les domaines des multimédias, de la vidéo, de l'audiovisuel et du cinéma. Sur un traveling traditionnel (caméra en mouvement sur un rail), la compensation et le cadrage d'un sujet se font manuellement. Actuellement, il est impossible de suivre ou de garder un sujet ou une scène centrée à l'image sans l'intervention d'un caméraman. Ce nouveau système permet de conserver un axe caméra permanent sur un sujet sans l'intervention de l'homme, il est ainsi automatisé. Le rail traveling est posé sur un monopode ce qui rend son encombrement et son poids minimes. Le rail peut être fixé verticalement, horizontalement ou en diagonale à l'aide d'une rotule multidirectionnelle. La caméra est entraînée sur le rail par un moteur programmé selon les besoins du tournage (vitesse et rotation variables). Un module spécifique (4) en mouvement sur le rail permet de garder à l'image un axe prédéfmi. Le module peut être réalisé de différentes façons : a) avec un réducteur mécanique entrainé par une vis trapézoïdale. b) avec un ou plusieurs moteurs synchronisés entre eux (l'un pour le déplacement latéral ou vertical et l'autre pour le rattrapage d'axe). Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente en coupe : la fixation moteur La figure 2 représente en coupe : la vue latérale du rail La figure 3 représente en coupe : le rail, vu du dessus La figure 4 représente en éclaté : le module chariot réducteur compensateur de panneau Le monorail traveling est constitué d'une barre dont la longueur est variable selon les besoins (1). Sur celle-ci est fixée une vis trapézoïdale qui repose sur un palier à chacune des extrémités. Une équerre vissée au bout de la barre sert de fixation moteur (1). Ce moteur est doté d'une carte électronique intégrée qui permet la programmation des mouvements et d'un codeur pour calculer le positionnement du module chariot réducteur (4). Ce module se déplace grâce à la rotation du moteur sur la vis trapézoïdale. Un écrou lié au module chariot permet le déplacement de celui-ci. La forme du chariot épouse les contours de la barre lui conférant ainsi une stabilité sur l'ensemble. Le module chariot (4) constitue la partie innovante du système. Une crémaillère fixée sur le monorail (1) agit sur le module grâce à un pignon intégré. Le pignon tourne sur la crémaillère. La rotation du pignon entraîne un réducteur fixé sur le module chariot (4) perpendiculairement au monorail. L'action exercée sur le réducteur permet de fixer une caméra et d'agir sur la rotation de celle-ci (panneau droite - gauche ou gauche - droite). Ce système permet de filmer un objet, une scène, une situation, en mouvement (traveling) tout en conservant un axe prédéfini, sans l'intervention d'un caméraman. Ce qui le caractérise est le fait qu'il comporte un module réducteur (3) compensateur de panneau (gauche - droite) articulé par une vis trapézoïdale (3) ou vis sans fm, et une crémaillère. L'utilisation d'un monopode réduit la surface d'encombrement au sol. Il permet de placer le traveling rapidement et en toute simplicité dans des lieux parfois très peu accessibles par d'autres traveling traditionnels. L'invention de ce monorail traveling suspendu verticalement, horizontalement ou en 5 diagonale réunit de nombreuses et nouvelles possibilités d'angles de prises de vues en mouvements automatisés. The present invention consists in replacing the manual control system of a moving camera on a traveling by an automatic mechanism. Camera management in the fields of multimedia, video, audiovisual and cinema. On a traditional traveling (camera moving on a rail), the compensation and the framing of a subject are done manually. Currently, it is impossible to follow or keep a subject or scene centered in the image without the intervention of a cameraman. This new system makes it possible to keep a permanent camera axis on a subject without the intervention of the human being, it is thus automated. The traveling rail is placed on a monopod which makes its size and weight minimal. The rail can be fixed vertically, horizontally or diagonally using a multidirectional ball joint. The camera is driven on the rail by a motor programmed according to the needs of the turning (variable speed and rotation). A specific module (4) moving on the rail makes it possible to keep a predefined axis in the image. The module can be made in different ways: a) with a mechanical gearbox driven by a trapezoidal screw. (b) with one or more motors synchronized with each other (one for lateral or vertical displacement and the other for retraction of the axis). The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents in section: the engine attachment FIG. 2 represents in section: the side view of the rail FIG. 3 shows in section: the rail, seen from above FIG. the panel compensating reducer module The monorail traveling consists of a bar whose length varies according to the needs (1). On it is fixed a trapezoidal screw which rests on a bearing at each end. A bracket screwed to the end of the bar serves as a motor attachment (1). This motor has a built-in electronic card that allows the programming of movements and an encoder to calculate the positioning of the gearbox module (4). This module moves thanks to the rotation of the motor on the trapezoidal screw. A nut connected to the trolley module allows the displacement thereof. The shape of the trolley matches the contours of the bar thus giving it a stability on the whole. The trolley module (4) is the innovative part of the system. A rack attached to the monorail (1) acts on the module thanks to an integrated gear. The pinion turns on the rack. The rotation of the pinion drives a reducer fixed on the carriage module (4) perpendicular to the monorail. The action exerted on the reducer makes it possible to fix a camera and to act on the rotation of this one (right panel - left or left - right). This system makes it possible to film an object, a scene, a situation, moving while retaining a predefined axis, without the intervention of a cameraman. What characterizes it is the fact that it comprises a module reducer (3) compensator panel (left - right) articulated by a trapezoidal screw (3) or screw without fm, and a rack. The use of a monopod reduces the footprint of the floor. It allows to place the traveling quickly and easily in places sometimes very inaccessible by other traditional traveling. The invention of this monorail traveling suspended vertically, horizontally or diagonally brings together many new possibilities of shooting angles in automated movements.
