Description

用于拍摄模块的调节稳定装置、拍摄装置和可移动平台 技术领域
本发明涉及可移动平台领域,特别涉及用于飞行器或潜水器FPV拍摄模块的调节稳定装置,以及FPV拍摄装置。
背景技术
目前,无人航行器(或者可移动平台)通常会搭载FPV拍摄模块(第一视角摄像头),该FPV拍摄模块用于实时拍摄画面。一般情况下,FPV拍摄模块被安装于机身前方且拍摄视野朝向无人航行器的航行方向,以使其能够观察前方环境(例如,观察无人航行器前方的障碍物或者拍摄风景)。
现有的无人航行器的FPV拍摄模块一般只能固定地朝向前方,当需要使其朝向其它方向时,通常需要将该FPV拍摄模块由无人航行器的机体上拆下,然后更换固定位置,以此来实现拍摄方向的改变。例如,将FPV拍摄模块更换固定至无人航行器底部,并使FPV拍摄模块视野朝下。这种拆装FPV拍摄模块的操作非常繁琐,不利于使用者在一些条件下(例如野外、水面)快速调整FPV拍摄模块的拍摄模块,并且有可能在拆装过程中造成零部件丢失。
然而,在一些特定使用情景下,需要时常更换FPV拍摄模块的拍摄方向,例如无人航行器(无人飞行器)被作为农用时,通常进行地形测绘、农田面积测绘或飞至预定位置打点,此时FPV拍摄无人航行器的视野需要朝下。
因此,提供一种可靠的角度调节稳定装置,使得FPV拍摄模块能够被便利地改变拍摄方向,以满足无人航行器对于不同应用情景的需求成为亟待解决的问题。

具体实施方式
为了使发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面结合附图和具体实施例对发明作进一步详细的说明。虽然附图中显示了本公开示例性实施例,然而应当理解,可以以各种形式实现本发明而不应被这里阐述的实施 例所限制。相反,提供这些实施例是为了能够更便于透彻的理解本发明,并且能够将本发明的构思完整的传达给本领域人员。
本发明一实施例提供了一种用于拍摄模块的调节稳定装置,所述拍摄模块为FPV拍摄模块,所述调节稳定装置包括角度调节单元。图1和图2示意性地显示了角度调节单元的结构。图3~5示意性地显示了角度调节单元和FPV拍摄模块的安装关系。
所述角度调节单元包括转轴1、支承座2以及弹性驱动元件3。具体地,支承座2用于和FPV拍摄模块6固定连接,且能够围绕转轴1转动。弹性驱动元件3套设在转轴1上,以用于促使支承座2转动。支承座2相对于转轴1具有至少两个角接合位置,当支承座2转动至非角接合位置时,弹性驱动元件3能够驱使支承座2向至少两个角接合位置之一转动。其中,角接合位置是指支承座2相对于转轴1转动至预定的角度,且能够在该预定的角度被保持住。
采用本实施例提供的调节稳定装置时,操作者不需要每次调整FPV拍摄模块的方向都进行一次拆卸(例如由朝前调整至朝下),而是直接转动支承座2(带动FPV拍摄模块转动),然后再利用弹性驱动元件3将支承座2保持在角接合位置(相对于转轴1的预定的角度)。因此,操作者能够在野外、水面便捷地对FPV拍摄模块的拍摄角度进行调整,且不必担心零部件的丢失,也无需借助拆卸工具。
进一步地,当支承座2转动至非角接合位置时,弹性驱动元件3能够驱使支承座2向角度差最小的其中一个角接合位置转动。
操作者对支承座2施加外力,以使其转动至非角接合位置时,弹性驱动元件3的张紧力不断增大,反馈给操作者阻塞的手感,即使操作者没有继续将支承座2转动至角接合位置,弹性驱动元件3也能够驱使支承座2向角度差最小的其中一个角接合位置转动,进而使支承座2达到角接合位置且被保持的状态,以避免由于旋转不到位而带来的潜在风险。
更进一步地,为了使得支承座2转动至角接合位置时能够被更好地被保持,随着支承座2自非角接合位置转动至任一角接合位置,弹性驱动元件3的张紧力减少。
本领域技术人员应当能够理解,支承座2在非角接合位置时弹性驱动元件3的张紧力大于支承座2在角接合位置时的张紧力,并且支承座2处于角接合位置时弹性驱动元件3的张紧力也并非完全消失,而是凭借残余 的张紧力将支承座2保持在角接合位置。由此,在不施加外力的情况下,支承座2不会意外地转动,从而确保FPV拍摄模块6稳定地朝向预定的方向。
参照图2所示,支承座2上设有供转轴1通过的轴孔21以及第一离合部22。弹性驱动元件3包括依次设置于转轴1上的第二离合部31和弹簧32。当支承座2相对于转轴1转动至非角接合位置时,第一离合部22和第二离合部31的轮廓互斥地轴向远离。当支承座2相对于转轴1转动至任一所述角接合位置时,在弹簧32的作用下,第一离合部22和第二离合部31的轮廓互补地轴向接合。
具体而言,第一离合部22和第二离合部31为相互匹配的凸轮结构。当第一离合部22随着支承座2转动至非角接合位置时,第二离合部31被向着如图2所示的左侧推动,弹簧32被压缩(张紧力增大)。当第一离合部22随着支承座2转动至角接合位置时,第二离合部31向着如图2所示的右侧移动,弹簧32被释放缩(张紧力减小)。
本领域技术人员应当能够理解,第一离合部22和第二离合部31可以不是典型的凸轮结构,例如可以将二者的结合面设计成形状互补的曲面,也能够实现上述技术效果。
进一步地,转轴1的一端设有轴套4,第二离合部31和弹簧32套设于转轴1上,且位于设轴套4内,第二离合部31能够在转轴1上可转动地轴向平移。轴套4为弹簧32的一端提供了抵触面,以使得第二离合部31在转轴1上可转动地轴向平移时,弹簧32可以被压缩或释放。举例而言,当支承座2相对于转轴1转动至非角接合位置时,第二离合部31沿着转轴1向图2中的左侧运动,弹簧32被压缩(张紧力增加)。当支承座2相对于转轴1转动至任一角接合位置时,第二离合部31沿着转轴1向图2中的右侧运动,弹簧32被释放(张紧力减小)。
其中,需要说明的是,轴套4并非必须,在具有适宜的安装位置的情况下,转轴1用于固定在轴套4中的一端可以直接和其它部件固定连接,这种情况将在下文予以详细介绍。
由此,在外力的干预下,第一离合部22和第二离合部31轮廓互斥地轴向远离,弹簧32的张紧力增加。当外力消失后,第二离合部31被弹簧32推向第一离合部22。并且凭借弹簧32残余的张紧力,第二离合部31与第一离合部22保持紧密地接合。
如图3~5所示,在本发明的另一实施例中,所述的调节稳定装置还包括角度稳定单元。该角度稳定单元包括用于与转轴1固定连接的基座5。基座5具有至少两个支撑面51,至少两个支撑面51的角度设置成:当弹性驱动元件3驱使支承座2绕转轴1向其中一个角接合位置转动时,其中一个支撑面51能够抵接支承座2待固定连接的FPV拍摄模块6并保有弹性驱动元件3的张紧力。
可移动平台(例如,无人飞行器,无人航行器等)在航行时会受到风力、水流的干扰而产生晃动,或者因航行器自身的动力模块工作而震颤。在这种情况下,为FPV拍摄模块6提供支撑能够使其持续地拍摄清晰、稳定的画面。
进一步地,至少两个支撑面51包括彼此呈角度设置的第一支撑面51a和第二支撑面51b,其中,第一支撑面51a朝向下方,第二支撑面51b朝向前方。第一支撑面51a和第二支撑面51b之间的夹角可以根据需要地被选择,例如为90~150度,优选地为120度。
为了便于理解,本实施例以两个支撑面为例进行说明。本领域技术人员应当能够理解,支承座2相对于转轴1可以有二个以上的角接合位置,支撑面51的数量可以与角接合位置的数量相应,由此满足支承座2旋转至任一个角接合位置时,都可以为FPV拍摄模块6提供一个支撑面51。
更进一步地,基座5上设置有用于收纳和安装转轴1和弹性驱动元件3的轴向安装孔52,轴向安装孔52至各个支撑面51的垂直距离相等(该距离基本相当于FPV拍摄模块6的旋转半径),以满足支承座2在转至任一角接合位置时,FPV拍摄模块6均可以与相应的支撑面51相抵接。
需要说明的是,在如图3~5所示的实施例中,安装孔52为通孔,转轴1、弹簧32以及第二离合部31凭借轴套4被固定在该安装孔52内(实际上轴套4相当于空心的销)。安装孔52还可以为非通孔(例如圆形的凹陷区域),此时转轴1用于固定连接轴套4的一端被直接固定在安装孔52内,第二离合部31和弹簧32也位于该凹陷的安装孔52中,即轴套4并非必须具有。
使用时,上述的调节稳定装置需要被搭载于可移动平台(例如,无人飞行器,无人航行器等)上,因此过大的重量必将导致可移动平台消耗更多的电力。为了进一步减轻重量,基座5的本体为具有多个空腔隔室53的框架结构。多个空腔隔室53可以规则或者不规则地排列,每一个空腔隔室 53可以是镂空或者凹陷。框架结构的基座5同时兼顾了结构强度和重量,能够满足航行的需要。为了方便将调节稳定装置与可移动平台固定连接,基座5包括用于与可移动平台固定的安装面54。
如图3~5所示,在本发明的一个实施例中提供了一种FPV拍摄装置,该FPV拍摄装置包括了拍摄模块6和上述的任意一种调节稳定装置。
在本发明的一个实施例中提供了一种可移动平台,所述可移动平台包括上述的FPV拍摄装置。所述可移动平台器可以是无人机、水下机器人、或者手持云台。
如图6所示,在本发明的一个实施例中提供了一种可移动平台(无人机),所述可移动平台包括主体7以及安装于主体7底部的上述的FPV拍摄装置。图6中显示的可移动平台具有六个旋翼71,且FPV拍摄模块6朝向前方。本领域技术人员应当能够理解,旋翼71的数量可以改变(例如四个旋翼或者两个旋翼),且可以旋转FPV拍摄模块6使其朝向其他方向(例如朝向下方)。所述可移动平台可以作为农用无人机。
除此之外,上述的调节稳定装置和FPV拍摄装置还可以被应用于水下机器人。
