如图4所示，在本发明的实施例中，负载200包括外壳220和设于所述 外壳220内的摄像头。其中，在本发明的一实施例中，摄像头可以进一步包括镜头座230和与所述镜头座230相连的镜头210。
在本实施例中，所述云台100为三轴云台，所述增稳组件10包括俯仰轴电机组件11、偏航轴电机组件12和横滚轴电机组件13。其中，俯仰轴电机组件11安装于无人机的机身，所述俯仰轴电机组件11与所述偏航轴电机组件12连接，所述横滚轴电机组件13与所述偏航轴电机组件12连接，并且所述横滚轴电机组件13设于所述负载200的外壳220内。选择将俯仰轴电机组件11与无人机的机身相连，将横滚轴电机组件13设于负载200的外壳220内，可以减小云台100的体积，使得云台100的结构更加紧凑。
俯仰轴电机组件11、偏航轴电机组件12、横滚轴电机组件13均包括驱动装置，每个驱动装置均包括固定部和转动部，并且所述转动部可相对于所述固定部转动。
在本发明实施例中，所述云台100的增稳组件10的各个驱动装置分别响应接收到的转动控制信号，并根据控制信号控制其转动部相对于其固定部顺时针或逆时针转动，以及调节该转动部的转速，从而实现相应方向的调整。进而实现所述负载200的方向、方位及稳定性的控制。通过以上方式，使得所述负载200能够获得相应视角的、稳定的视频和/或图片。可以理解的是，所述增稳组件10也可包括一个方向转动、两个方向转动或更多方向转动的转动件。
具体的，如图2所示，所述俯仰轴电机组件11包括第一驱动装置111和与无人机的机身相连的第一连接臂112。所述第一驱动装置111包括第一固定部1111、第一转动部1112和第一转轴(图未示)。所述第一连接臂112一端用于安装于无人机机身，另一端与所述第一固定部1111固定连接。其中，所述第一转轴与所述第一固定部1111活动连接，所述第一转轴与所述第一转动部1112固定连接，并且所述第一转动部1112可以绕第一转轴相对于所述第一固定部1111转动。
在本实施例中，所述偏航轴电机组件12包括第二驱动装置121和第二连接臂122。所述第二驱动装置121包括第二固定部1211、第二转动部1212和第二转轴(图未示)。其中，所述第二转轴与所述第二固定部1211活动连接，所述第二转轴与所述第二转动部1212固定连接，并且所述第二转动部1212 可以绕第二转轴相对于所述第二固定部1211转动。所述第二连接臂122的一端与所述第一转动部1112固定连接，另一端与所述第二固定部1211固定连接，从而使得在所述第一驱动装置111的第一转动部1112转动时，可带动所述偏航轴电机组件12相对于所述俯仰轴电机组件11中的第一固定部1111转动。
在本实施例中，所述横滚轴电机组件13包括第三驱动装置131，所述第三驱动装置131包括第三固定部1311、第三转动部1312和第三转轴(图未示)。其中，所述第三转轴与所述第三固定部1311活动连接，所述第三转轴与所述第三转动部1312固定连接，并且所述第三转动部1312可以绕第三转轴相对于所述第三固定部1311转动。所述第三固定部1311与外壳220固定连接，所述第三转动部1312与镜头座230相连，并且所述负载200的光轴与所述横滚轴(如图2所示的R轴方向)重合。当第三转动部1312相对于所述第三固定部1311转动时，带动镜头210绕其光轴转动，此时，外壳220不动。因此横滚轴电机组件13的第三驱动装置131的负载很小，第三驱动装置131也可以做的很小。
在本实施例中，所述俯仰轴电机组件11控制所述负载200绕俯仰轴(如图2所示的P轴方向)转动；所述偏航轴电机组件12控制所述负载200绕航向轴(如图2所示的Y轴方向)转动；所述横滚轴电机组件13控制所述负载200绕横滚轴(如图2所示的R轴方向)转动。
其中，所述第一驱动装置111、第二驱动装置121、第三驱动装置131可以分别为无刷电机、有刷电机或气动马达中的一种。
如图3所示，所述信号传输组件20包括信号线21和电路板22。其中，所述信号线21贯穿于所述增稳组件10内，所述电路板22设置于所述偏航轴电机组件12中的第二连接臂122内。
可以理解的是，在其它一些实施例中，所述电路板22可设置于所述俯仰轴电机组件11中的第二连接臂122内。在其他可能的实施例中，电路板22也可以设置在第一连接臂112内。
具体的，如图3所示，所述信号线21包括俯仰轴绕线部211、偏航轴绕线部212和横滚轴绕线部213。所述俯仰轴绕线部211设置于所述俯仰轴电机组件11中的第一连接臂112内，并绕设于所述第一驱动装置111中的第一转轴上。所述俯仰轴绕线部211的一端与电路板22电连接，另一端用于与无人 机内的控制模块电连接。所述俯仰轴绕线部211的绕设圈数与所述第一转动部1112相对于所述第一固定部1111的最大转动角度相对应，以使所述第一转动部1112相对于所述第一固定部1111由一初始状态沿第一方向转动至最大极限角度的过程中，或沿与第一方向相反的方向转动至最大极限角度的过程中，所述第一转动部1112转动的灵活性不会被所述俯仰轴绕线部211的长度限制；同时，所述信号线21不会由于所述第一转动部1112的转动而断裂，也不会在所述第一连接臂112内堆积成团或发生缠绕。
所述偏航轴绕线部212设置于所述偏航轴电机组件12中的第二连接臂122内，并绕设于所述第二驱动装置121中的第二转轴上。所述偏航轴绕线部212的一端与所述电路板22电连接。所述偏航轴绕线部212的绕设圈数与所述第二转动部1212相对于所述第二固定部1211的最大转动角度相对应，以使所述第二转动部1212相对于所述第二固定部1211由一初始状态沿第一方向转动至最大极限角度的过程中，或沿与第一方向相反的方向转动至最大极限角度的过程中，所述第二转动部1212转动的灵活性不会被所述偏航轴绕线部212的长度限制；同时，所述信号线21不会由于所述第二转动部1212的转动而断裂，也不会在所述第二连接臂122内堆积成团或发生缠绕。
所述横滚轴绕线部213用于绕设于所述负载200的转动轴上，并用于为所述负载200传输信号。具体的，如图4和5所示，所述横滚轴绕线部213绕设于所述镜头座230上，并且所述横滚轴绕线部213的一端与所述偏航轴绕线部212的另一端电连接，所述横滚轴绕线部213的另一端与所述摄像头210电连接。所述横滚轴绕线部213绕设于所述镜头座230上，可极大的减少所述横滚轴绕线部213在所述云台100和外壳220内占据的空间，从而使得所述负载200以及云台100的结构更加的紧凑。所述横滚轴电机组件13位于所述外壳内，所述第三转动部1312用于与所述摄像头210固定连接，并且所述摄像头210的光轴与所述横滚轴(如图2所示的R轴方向)重合。所述横滚轴电机组件13工作时，仅带动所述摄像头210转动，而所述外壳220不动。即，所述横滚轴电机组件13仅需带动所述摄像头210转动，所述横滚轴电机组件13的负载很小，可使得所述横滚轴电机组件13中的第三驱动装置131尺寸较小。
第一驱动装置111、第二驱动装置121和第三驱动装置131的控制单元集 成在一个电路板22上，所述电路板22上设置有多个连接器，所述电路板22通过多个连接器与所述第一驱动装置111、第二驱动装置121和第三驱动装置131连接。
可以理解的是，在其它一些实施例中，所述增稳组件10可以仅包括俯仰轴电机组件11和横滚轴电机组件13，其中俯仰轴电机组件11安装于无人机的机身，所述俯仰轴电机组件11与所述横滚轴电机组件13连接，并且所述横滚轴电机组件13安装于所述负载200内。所述俯仰轴电机组件11控制所述负载200绕俯仰轴转动；所述横滚转动件13控制所述负载200绕横滚轴转动。
在本实施例中，所述信号线21为柔性电路板(Flexible Printed Circuit Board，FPCB)排线。FPCB排线呈薄片状，具有适合弯折，成本低的特点。可以理解的是，在其它一些实施例中，所述信号线21也可以采用相同材质或不同材质的信号线，如采用单芯线，极细同轴线或者其它类型的信号线以及多种信号线的组合。
相较于现有技术，本发明实施例所述的云台100仅采用一条信号线21，从而使得容纳所述信号线21的结构可比现有的云台更小。同时，横滚轴电机组件13设置于所述负载200中的外壳220内，并且仅带动所述负载200中的摄像头转动，使得所述云台100的结构更紧凑，重量更轻。
如图6所示，本发明还提出了一种无人机30，该无人机30包括机身31、与所述机身31相连的机臂32、设于所述机臂32的动力装置33和上述所述的云台100。云台100通过连接装置34和减振元件35与机身31相连。
在本实施例中，机臂32的数量为4，即该飞行器为四旋翼飞行器，在其他可能的实施例中，机臂32的数量也可以为3、6、8、10等。
动力装置33包括设置在机臂32一端的电机332以及与电机332的转轴相连的螺旋桨331。电机332的转轴转动以带动螺旋桨331旋转从而给无人机30提供升力。
云台100用于减轻甚至消除动力装置33传递给摄像机的振动，以保证摄像机能够拍摄出稳定清晰的图像或视频。
摄像机可以是双目摄像头、单目摄像头、红外线影像设备、紫外线影像 设备、摄录机等类似的设备。摄像装置通过如本实施例所示的云台100搭载在无人机30上，云台100允许摄像机相对于无人机30绕俯仰轴、偏航轴和横滚轴转动。
最后应说明的是：以上实施例仅用以说明本发明的技术方案，而非对其限制；在本发明的思路下，以上实施例或者不同实施例中的技术特征之间也可以进行组合，步骤可以以任意顺序实现，并存在如上所述的本发明的不同方面的许多其它变化，为了简明，它们没有在细节中提供；尽管参照前述实施例对本发明进行了详细的说明，本领域的普通技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本发明各实施例技术方案的范围。
