Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 16/736,027, filed on Jan. 7, 2020, which is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2017/095217, filed on Jul. 31, 2017, the entire contents of both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to the technical field of gimbals and, more particular, to a gimbal photographing device.
- In conventional technologies, a gimbal photographing device or a handheld gimbal photographing device can photograph stable images in a moving state, therefore it has become a favorite of many users. The gimbal photographing device uses a gyroscope and a motor to stabilize the lens photographing device, such that the captured images are stable and shake-proof.
- The gimbal photographing device typically includes a machine body and a gimbal camera mounted on the machine body. When the gimbal photographing device operates, it may adjust the location of the gimbal camera based on the moving state of the user, such that the lens of the gimbal camera stays at a predetermined location to capture images, thereby capturing the images stably. However, when the gimbal photographing device is not in operation, the location of the gimbal camera may arbitrarily shake and the gimbal camera may occupy a relatively large space, causing instability in the structure of the gimbal photographing device, which is disadvantageous for carrying and storage.
- According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a gimbal photographing device. The gimbal photographing device includes a machine body and a foldable mechanism connected with the machine body. The gimbal photographing device also includes a gimbal camera connected with the foldable mechanism. The gimbal camera is configured to cling to the machine body through the foldable mechanism, and is configured to be positioned in an extended state or a folded state. The machine body includes a support wall configured to support the foldable mechanism and the gimbal camera. The foldable mechanism includes a base including a rotation member and a position limiting member connected with the rotation member. The position limiting member is connected with the gimbal camera. The position limiting member includes a first end and a second end that are opposingly disposed. The rotation member is rotatably connected with the support wall around a rotation axis direction to cause the gimbal camera to rotate relative to the machine body. The rotation axis direction is slantly disposed with respect to the support wall. The foldable mechanism includes a position limiting element connected with the support wall along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis direction. The rotation member is configured to cause the gimbal camera to rotate to the extended state. The first end of the position limiting member abuts against the position limiting element. The rotation member is also configured to cause the gimbal camera to rotate to the folded state. The second end of the position limiting member opposing the first end abuts against the position limiting element. The gimbal camera clings to the support wall.

- Referring to
FIG. 1 toFIG. 4 , embodiments of the present disclosure provide agimbal photographing device 100, which may include amachine body 10, afoldable mechanism 20 connected with themachine body 10, and agimbal camera 30 connected with thefoldable mechanism 20. Thegimbal camera 30 may cling to the machine body 10 (e.g., be disposed in close proximity to themachine body 10, and in contact or not in contact with the machine body 10) through thefoldable mechanism 20. Themachine body 10 may include asupport wall 101 configured to support thefoldable mechanism 20 and thegimbal camera 30. Thegimbal camera 30 may be in an extended state (the non-folded state as shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 ) and a folded state (as shown inFIG. 3 andFIG. 4 ). Thefoldable mechanism 20 can cause thegimbal camera 30 to switch between the two states of the extended state and the folded state. In a general situation, thegimbal camera 30 is in the folded state when not in operation. When in operation, thegimbal camera 30 can be in the extended state or in the folded state. In this embodiment, the mounting location of thefoldable mechanism 20 may be provided at a left edge of thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10, or at the right edge of thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10. In the example shown inFIG. 1 , the mounting location of thefoldable mechanism 20 may be provided at the left edge of thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10. Themachine body 10 may include a rectangular structure. Thesupport wall 101 may be located at a top surface of themachine body 10. - In the configuration, the
foldable mechanism 20 may include aposition limiting element 40 and abase 50. The base 50 may include arotatable member 503 and aposition limiting member 505 connected with therotatable member 503. Theposition limiting member 505 may be connected with thegimbal camera 30. Theposition limiting member 505 may include a first end 501 (as shown inFIG. 3 ) and a second end 506 (as shown inFIG. 1 ) that are opposingly disposed. Thefirst end 501 and thesecond end 506 may be understood as two side portions of theposition limiting member 505 symmetrically disposed relative to thegimbal camera 30. Therotatable member 503 may be rotatably connected with thesupport wall 101 around arotation axis direction 70, to cause thegimbal camera 30 to rotate relative to themachine body 10, thereby realizing switching between the two states, the extended state and the folded state, for thegimbal camera 30. Therotation axis direction 70 may be slantly or tiltingly disposed with respect to thesupport wall 101. The configuration direction of therotation axis direction 70 is shown as the X direction inFIG. 2 . Theposition limiting element 40 may be connected with thesupport wall 101 along a direction perpendicular to therotation axis direction 70, as shown inFIG. 1 as the Y direction. In some embodiments, the tilting angle between therotation axis direction 70 and thesupport wall 101 may be in a range of 40°-50°, preferably 45°. - The
rotation member 503 of the base 50 may cause thegimbal camera 30 to rotate to the extended state. Thefirst end 501 of theposition limiting member 505 may abut against theposition limiting element 40. The location of thegimbal camera 30 may be limited through the coupling between thefirst end 501 of theposition limiting member 505 and theposition limiting element 40, such that the location of thegimbal camera 30 is stably maintained in the extended state. Therotation member 503 of the base 50 may cause thegimbal camera 30 to rotate to the folded state. Thesecond end 506 of theposition limiting member 505 may abut against theposition limiting element 40. Thegimbal camera 30 may cling to thesupport wall 101. That is, thegimbal camera 30 may be received or positioned at the top surface of themachine body 10, which can reduce the volume of thegimbal photographing device 100 in order to solve the issue of space occupied by thegimbal camera 30 being relatively large when in the non-operating folded state, and can reduce or eliminate the shaking of thegimbal camera 30 in the non-operating folded state. As a result, the portability of thegimbal photographing device 100 for carrying and storage can be enhanced. - It can be known from the above embodiments, in the
gimbal photographing device 100 of the present disclosure, by using therotation member 503 of thebase 50 of thefoldable mechanism 20 to cause thegimbal camera 30 to switch between the extended state and the folded state, the folding of thegimbal camera 30 is realized. When thegimbal camera 30 extends to operate, the location of thegimbal camera 30 can be limited through the coupling between thefirst end 501 of theposition limiting member 505 and theposition limiting element 40, such that the location of thegimbal camera 30 in the extended state is stably maintained. When thegimbal camera 30 is not in operation, thegimbal camera 30 can be folded to cling to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10, and the location of thegimbal camera 30 can be limited through the coupling between thesecond end 506 of theposition limiting member 505 and theposition limiting element 40. That is, thegimbal camera 30 may be received or positioned at a side of themachine body 10, which can reduce the volume of thegimbal photographing device 100 in order to solve the issue of the space occupied by thegimbal camera 30 being relatively large when in the non-operating folded state. As a result, the portability of thegimbal photographing device 100 for carrying and storage can be further enhanced, and the overall compactness of the structural design can be improved. - In an embodiment, the
gimbal camera 30 may include a gimbal frame and animaging device 302 carried by the gimbal frame. In this configuration, the gimbal frame can be a single-axis, two-axis, or multi-axis gimbal frame. In the example shown in the figure, the gimbal frame is a three-axis gimbal frame. The three-axis gimbal frame includes ayaw axis assembly 303 movably connected with theposition limiting member 505 of thebase 50, aroll axis assembly 304 movably connected with theyaw axis assembly 303, and apitch axis assembly 305 movably connected with theroll axis assembly 304. Theimaging device 302 may be carried by thepitch axis assembly 305. Theyaw axis assembly 303 may be configured to control the yaw movement of thegimbal camera 30 through a yaw axis motor, theroll axis assembly 304 may be configured to control the roll movement of thegimbal camera 30 through a roll axis motor, and thepitch axis assembly 305 may be configured to control the pitch movement of thegimbal camera 30 through a pitch axis motor. Thus, theimaging device 302 may be controlled to capture images from different imaging angles, and the location of thegimbal camera 30 may be adjusted based on a desired imaging angle. When thegimbal camera 30 is in the folded state (as shown inFIG. 4 ), a rotation axis of theyaw axis assembly 303 is disposed perpendicular to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10, a rotation axis of theroll axis assembly 304 is disposed in parallel with thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10, and a rotation axis of thepitch assembly 305 is disposed perpendicular to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10. When thegimbal camera 30 is in the extended state (as shown inFIG. 1 ), the rotation axis of theyaw axis assembly 303 is disposed perpendicular to therotation axis direction 70, a location of the rotation axis of theroll axis assembly 304 relative to therotation axis direction 70 may change with the rotation of theyaw axis assembly 303, and a location of the rotation axis of thepitch axis assembly 305 relative to therotation axis direction 70 may change with the rotation of theroll axis assembly 304. - In an embodiment, the
first end 501 of theposition limiting member 505 may be provided with a first abutting surface, thesecond end 506 of theposition limiting member 505 may be provided with a second abutting surface, and an end of theimaging device 302 of thegimbal camera 30 facing against therotation axis direction 70 may be provided with a clinging surface 301 (as shown inFIG. 1 ). Therotation member 503 of the base 50 may cause thegimbal camera 30 to rotate to the extended state. The first abutting surface of theposition limiting member 505 may abut against theposition limiting element 40. The location of thegimbal camera 30 may be limited through the coupling between the first abutting surface of theposition limiting member 505 and theposition limiting element 40, such that the location of thegimbal camera 30 in the extended state can be stably maintained. When thegimbal camera 30 is not in operation, therotation member 503 of the base 50 may cause thegimbal camera 30 to rotate to the folded state. The second abutting surface of theposition limiting member 505 may abut against theposition limiting element 40. The clingingsurface 301 of thegimbal camera 30 may cling to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10. The location of thegimbal camera 30 may be limited through the coupling between second abutting surface of theposition limiting member 505 and theposition limiting element 40, which can reduce the volume of thegimbal photographing device 100, such that the location of thegimbal camera 30 in the non-operating folded state can be stably maintained, thereby avoiding shaking of thegimbal camera 30. - In some embodiments, to make the location of the
gimbal camera 30 in the folded state more stable, fastening structures configured to couple with one another can be provided at the clingingsurface 301 of thegimbal camera 30 and at a location of thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 corresponding to the clingingsurface 301 of thegimbal camera 30, such that when thegimbal camera 30 clings to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10, thegimbal camera 30 is even less prone to shake. For example, the fastening structures that are configured to couple with one another can be one of snap-fit structures, or magnetic attachment structures, or locking structures. - In an embodiment, the
gimbal photographing device 100 may also include a rotation axis assembly connected with thesupport wall 101. The rotation axis assembly may include arotation axis 201 disposed along therotation axis direction 70 and asupport member 205 connected with thesupport wall 101. Thesupport member 205 may include asupport surface 206. Thesupport surface 206 may be slantly or tiltingly disposed relative to thesupport wall 101 in a direction perpendicular to therotation axis direction 70. In some embodiments, the tilting angle between thesupport surface 206 of thesupport member 205 and thesupport wall 101 may be in a range of 40°-50°, for example, 45°. It should be noted that therotation axis 201 may adopt multiple different rotation configurations, such as a damping axis, a spring axis, etc. - In some embodiments, the
position limiting element 40 may be connected to a side portion of thesupport member 205. Theposition limiting element 40 may be disposed perpendicular to thesupport surface 206 of thesupport member 205. Both of the two ends of theposition limiting element 40 may include aposition limiting boss 401 protruding from theposition limiting member 505 of thebase 50 along a radial direction of therotation axis direction 70. Theposition limiting boss 401 may be configured to couple with the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface of theposition limiting member 505 of thebase 50. When thegimbal camera 30 rotates to the extended state, thegimbal camera 30 may be position-limited through the coupling between theposition limiting boss 401 located at a side of theposition limiting element 40 away from thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 and the first abutting surface of theposition limiting member 505. When thegimbal camera 30 rotates to the folded state, thegimbal camera 30 may be position-limited through the coupling between theposition limiting boss 401 located at a side of theposition limiting element 40 adjacent thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 and the second abutting surface of theposition limiting member 505. In some embodiments, theposition limiting element 40 and thesupport member 205 are integrally formed, and the connection portion between theposition limiting element 40 and thesupport member 205 is a smooth transition, which may enhance the structural strength of theposition limiting member 40. - In an embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 5 , therotation member 503 of the base 50 may be provided with a throughhole 502 extending in the direction of therotation axis direction 70. Therotation axis 201 is configured to penetrate or extend throughout the throughhole 502, such that therotation member 503 of thebase 50 is pivotably connected with therotation axis 201. A first end of therotation axis 201 may be provided with anaxis base 202. Thesupport member 205 may be provided with apositioning groove 207. Theaxis base 202 may be configured to snap-fit with thepositioning groove 207. Theaxis base 202 may be fixed to thesupport member 205 through afastening member 203, thereby fixing therotation axis 201 with thesupport member 205. In some embodiments, thefastening member 203 may be a screw, or may use fixed connection methods such as a pin, gluing, etc. The similar variations of the connection methods all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. The second end of therotation axis 201 may be provided with apositioning end 208. Thepositioning end 208 may be configured to protrude from therotation member 503 of thebase 50. Thepositioning end 208 may be detachably provided with apositioning member 209, thereby detachably connecting thebase 50 and therotation axis 201. When thepositioning member 209 is detached from thepositioning end 208 of therotation axis 201, therotation member 503 of the base 50 can be retrieved from therotation axis 201, thereby separating thegimbal camera 30 and themachine body 10, making it convenient for replacement, carrying, and storage. In some embodiments, thepositioning end 208 may be a threaded segment. The positioningmember 209 may be a threaded connection member matching with the threaded segment. Other detachable connection methods such as screws can also be used. Such similar variations of the connection methods all fall within the scope of the protection of the present disclosure. - In an embodiment, the positioning
member 505 of thebase 50 and therotation member 503 may be slantly or tiltingly disposed with respect to one another. Thegimbal camera 30 may be connected with the positioningmember 505 along a slant or tilting direction of thepositioning member 505 relative to therotation member 503. Thus, the rotation angle of thegimbal camera 30 may be limited. In some embodiments, the tilting angle between theposition limiting member 505 and therotation member 503 may be in a range of 40°-50°, for example, 45°. For example, thegimbal camera 30 may be controlled to rotate along a 45° direction with respect to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10, from the folded state (i.e., folded to cling to thesupport wall 101 of the machine body 10) to the extended state (i.e., vertically standing over the machine body 10), or from the extended state to the folded state. In some embodiments, theposition limiting member 505 of thebase 50 and therotation member 503 may be integrally formed. - In some embodiments, the length of the gimbal camera 30 (which can be understood as the length in the Z direction shown in
FIG. 1 ) may be smaller than the length of the machine body 10 (which can be similarly understood as the length in the Z direction shown inFIG. 1 ). This may ensure that when thegimbal camera 30 is in the folded state, thegimbal camera 30 is within the structural range of themachine body 10. The size of thegimbal camera 30 may match with the size of thepositioning member 505 of thebase 50, to avoid the issue relating to the size of thegimbal camera 30 being too large or too small such that it cannot cling to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 when thegimbal camera 30 is in the folded state. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the size of thegimbal camera 30 is the same as the size of thepositioning member 505 of thebase 50. - In an embodiment, the
machine body 10 may be provided with a button for controlling theimaging device 302 to perform photographing (which may be capturing photos or capturing videos). In some embodiments, thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 may be provided with afirst button 80 a (thefirst button 80 a shown in the figure is provided at the top surface of the machine body 10), such that the user can operate theimaging device 302 to perform photographing when thegimbal camera 30 is in the extended state. In some embodiments, a side wall of themachine body 10 that is adjacent thesupport wall 101 may be provided with asecond button 80 b (thesecond button 80 b shown in the figure is provided on a side surface of the machine body 10). For example, thesecond button 80 b may be provided at a side surface of themachine body 10 facing against the lens of theimaging device 302, such that the user can operate theimaging device 302 to perform photographing when thegimbal camera 30 is in the folded state, so thegimbal camera 30 can still be used for photographing when in the folded state. In addition, when thegimbal camera 30 is in the extended state, thesecond button 80 b may be operated to adjust the gimbal frame of thegimbal camera 30 to change the imaging angle of theimaging device 302, or to switch the imaging modes of theimaging device 302. For example, when thegimbal camera 30 is in the extended state, pressing thesecond button 80 b for one time may switch the imaging mode of theimaging device 302 between the photo mode and the video mode. Continuously pressing thesecond button 80 b for two times may adjust the gimbal frame to a back to normal state, thereby realizing the automatic back to normal function. Continuously pressing thesecond button 80 b for three times may control theyaw axis assembly 303 of the gimbal frame to rotate, such that theimaging device 302 rotates to face the user to realize the selfie function. It can be understood that the number of the times the button is continuously pressed, and the corresponding mode realized by thegimbal camera 30 can be configured based on needs, which is not limited by the present disclosure. - In some embodiments, the
machine body 10 may be provided with apower button 90 configured to turn on or off thegimbal photographing device 100. In some embodiments, thepower button 90 may be provide on a side wall of themachine body 10 adjacent thesupport wall 101. In the illustrated example, thepower button 90 may be provided on the same side surface of themachine body 10 as thesecond button 80 b, and may be located over thesecond button 80 b. - Referring to
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 3 , andFIG. 6 , when thegimbal camera 30 rotates from the extended state to the folded state, the changing process of the location of thegimbal camera 30 is rotating from the location where thegimbal camera 30 vertically stands at thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 as shown inFIG. 1 to the location where thegimbal camera 30 is tilted with respect to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 as shown inFIG. 6 , and then rotating from the location shown inFIG. 6 to the location where thegimbal camera 30 slings to supportwall 101 of themachine body 10 as shown inFIG. 3 . Correspondingly, the location change of thegimbal camera 30 from the extended state to the non-operating state is similar. When thegimbal camera 30 rotates from the folded state to the extended state, the location changing process of thegimbal camera 30 is rotating from the location where thegimbal camera 30 clings to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 as shown inFIG. 3 to the location where thegimbal camera 30 is tilted with respect to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 as shown inFIG. 6 , and then rotating from the location shown inFIG. 6 to the location where thegimbal camera 30 vertically stands at thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10 as shown inFIG. 1 . Correspondingly, the location change of thegimbal camera 30 when switching from the non-operating state to the extended state is similar. When thegimbal camera 30 operates in the extended state, theimaging device 302 may be operated to perform photographing through thefirst button 80 a. When thegimbal camera 30 is in the folded state and is to operate, theimaging device 302 may be operated to perform photographing through thesecond button 80 b. - In an embodiment, the
gimbal camera 30 may be manually rotated. Thegimbal photographing device 100 may include a locking structure configured to lock therotation member 503 of thebase 50. When therotation member 503 of the base 50 causes thegimbal camera 30 to rotate to the extended state, the location of therotation member 503 of the base 50 may be locked through the locking structure, such that the location of thegimbal camera 30 at the extended state is stably maintained. The detailed structure of the locking structure may be designed based on different needs. For example, the locking structure may be a snap-fit structure, a latch and lock mechanism, etc. In another embodiment, thegimbal camera 30 may be directly driven by a driving motor to rotate, and may not use the above described locking structure. Thegimbal photographing device 100 may also include a driving motor connected to therotation member 503 of thebase 50. The driving motor may drive therotation member 503 of the base 50 to rotate around therotation axis 201, to cause thegimbal camera 30 to rotate relative to themachine body 10. The rotation angle of thegimbal camera 30 may be configured by setting the operation time or speed of the driving motor. - In an embodiment, the
gimbal photographing device 100 may also include ascreen 60. Thescreen 60 may be disposed at a side surface of themachine body 10, for a user to observe during photographing. In the illustrated example, thescreen 60, thesecond button 80 b, and thepower button 90 are disposed at the same side surface of themachine body 10, i.e., the side surface of themachine body 10 facing against theimaging device 302. In another embodiment, thegimbal photographing device 100 may also include a mounting bracket for mounting an external display device. The mounting bracket may be mounted on themachine body 10. The external display device may be a device that can receive an image captured by theimaging device 302, such as a cell phone or a tablet, etc., which may also be used for observation by the user during photographing. - In summary, in the
gimbal photographing device 100 of the present disclosure, thegimbal camera 30 may be caused to rotate by therotation member 503 of thebase 50 of thefoldable mechanism 20 to switch between two states: the extended state and the folded state, thereby realizing the folding function for thegimbal camera 30. When thegimbal camera 30 is in the extended state, thegimbal camera 30 may extend to operate normally. The location of thegimbal camera 30 may be limited by the coupling between the first abutting surface of theposition limiting member 505 and theposition limiting element 40, such that the location of the gimbal camera in the extended state can be stably maintained. When thegimbal camera 30 is not operating, thegimbal camera 30 may be folded to cling to thesupport wall 101 of themachine body 10. The location of thegimbal camera 30 may be limited by the coupling between the second abutting surface of theposition limiting member 505 and theposition limiting element 40, thereby reducing the volume of thegimbal photographing device 100 and solving the issues of the space occupied by thegimbal camera 30 being relatively large when in the non-operating folded state. Shaking of thegimbal camera 30 in the non-operating folded state may also be avoided. As a result, the portability of thegimbal photographing device 100 for carrying and the storage can be enhanced. The overall compactness of the structural design can also be improved. - It should be noted that in this specification, the relational terms such as “first,” “second” etc., are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not require or imply that any such actual relationship or order exists between these entities or operations. The term “including,” “comprising” or any of their variations encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that the process, method, object or device that includes a series of elements not only include those elements, but also include other elements that have not been expressly listed, or also include inherent elements included in the process, method, object or device. When not limited further, an element modified by the phrase “including a . . . ” does not exclude that the process, method, object or device that includes the element also includes other same elements.
