  • the existing auxiliary stabilizers are generally used in very professional fields, and involve some problems, such as extremely inconvenient methods for adjusting center of gravity before shooting and extremely high professional requirements on operators. Although some auxiliary stabilizer can barely operate without center-of-gravity adjustment, they have such disadvantages of great increase of system power consumption, obvious heat emission in the use of the products and short effective use time of power supply batteries after one-time charge.
  • the existing auxiliary stabilizers are huge in size and not compact enough in structure, and thus are not convenient to carry, and these defects limit the convenience of use of the products.

  • the roll mechanical arm when the roll mechanical arm is pulled to rotate around the center line ⁇ of rotation, the roll mechanical arm can be kept at any pulled position to change the included angle between the roll mechanical arm and the center line ⁇ of rotation; the roll mechanical arm mounting seat and the roll mechanical arm are capable of rotating around the center line ⁇ of rotation as a whole;
  • a fixing seat with a center line ⁇ of rotation is rotatably mounted beside a side surface of the other end of the roll mechanical arm; a roll corrected motor is disposed on a rotating shaft of the fixing seat; the fixing seat is capable of rotating around the center line ⁇ of rotation;
  • the center line ⁇ of rotation intersects with the center line ⁇ of rotation, and the center line ⁇ of rotation is perpendicular to a plane in which the center line ⁇ of rotation intersects with the center line ⁇ of rotation;
  • an accelerometer and a gyroscope are disposed on the fixing seat and connected to the pitch corrected motor and the roll corrected motor by means of control units;
  • the auxiliary stabilizer is further provided with a pitch angle regulating switch which is connected to the pitch corrected motor by means of a control unit;
  • the auxiliary stabilizer has two position states:
  • the roll mechanical arm when being folded for carrying, the roll mechanical arm is pulled to rotate around the center line ⁇ of rotation, and the roll mechanical arm mounting seat and the roll mechanical arm are pulled to rotate around the center line ⁇ of rotation as a whole until the roll mechanical arm is overlapped on the pitch mechanical arm;
  • the roll mechanical arm when being unfolded for operating, the roll mechanical arm is pulled to rotate around the center line ⁇ of rotation, and the roll mechanical arm mounting seat and the roll mechanical arm are pulled to rotate around the center line ⁇ of rotation as a whole until an inverted L-shaped intersection angle is formed between the roll mechanical arm and the pitch mechanical arm.
  • an adjustment method for the stabilizer comprises the following steps:
  • the stabilizer is pulled to be in an unfolded operating state in whole; the pitch mechanical arm is vertically held by a user, while the roll mechanical arm is kept to laterally extend from one side of the pitch mechanical arm and the fixing seat is kept to face the user; the mobile phone is clamped on the fixing seat first.
  • the roll mechanical arm is then pulled to rotate around the center line ⁇ of rotation to make the common center of gravity of the roll mechanical arm, the fixing seat and the mobile phone be just located in or near the center line ⁇ of rotation.
  • a method for determining whether the center of gravity is in place is as follows: after the mobile phone is clamped, the roll mechanical arm is rotated manually to keep the screen of the mobile phone in a vertical state, and after the roll mechanical arm is released, the mobile phone is capable of staying in the vertical state and the roll mechanical arm does not turn over.
  • the clamped position of the mobile phone on the fixing seat is then adjusted to make the common center of gravity of the mobile phone and the fixing seat be just located in or near the center line ⁇ of rotation, which can be determined by the following method: after the clamped position of the mobile phone on the fixing seat is adjusted manually, the mobile phone kept in the vertical state as described above is kept equivalent in height on the left and right or tilted slightly, and after the fixing seat is released, the mobile phone is capable of staying in the state of being vertical and equivalent in height on the left and right or tilted slightly without turning over. Then, the mobile phone is in the balanced center position of gravity, and the adjustment is finished.
  • the mobile phone moves along with the movement of the arm or the body of a user.
  • the stabilizer controls the balance of the mobile phone by means of two corrected motors as described below.
  • the user opens a power supply switch to enable a battery to supply power to the auxiliary stabilizer.
  • the user holds the pitch mechanical arm, observes a subject of shooting (selfie or photographing other person) via the screen of the mobile phone and rotates the pitch mechanical arm to select an appropriate shooting angle.
  • the gyroscope is used to measure a direction and an angular velocity
  • the accelerometer is used to measure an angle and an accelerated speed.

  • the pitch corrected motor is started to generate a reverse torque equivalent in magnitude to keep the original angles of the mobile phone, the fixing seat and the roll mechanical arm. If simultaneous angular velocities and/or angles of the mobile phone around the center line ⁇ of rotation and the center line ⁇ of rotation are monitored by the accelerometer and the gyroscope, the pitch corrected motor and the roll corrected motor are started separately to generate a reverse torque resultant equivalent in magnitude to keep the original angle of the mobile phone.
  • the purpose of always keeping the desired angle for the user can be achieved with only a small torque provided by the corrected motors during shooting; in addition, the system power consumption is low, leading to obvious prolonging of the service time of the battery after one-time charge and low heat emitted by the stabilizer.
  • the center line ⁇ of rotation and the center line ⁇ of rotation are intended for guaranteeing that the preset angle of the mobile phone can be stilled kept in the process of multidirectional three-dimensional rotation
  • the center line ⁇ of rotation has two purposes: one purpose is to facilitate folded carrying of the stabilizer, and the other purpose is that in consideration of certain differences in the center position of gravity, weight and size among mobile phones, pads and the like of different models, the included angle between the roll mechanical arm and the center line ⁇ of rotation is adjusted to adjust the common center of gravity of the roll mechanical arm, the fixing seat and any different shooting device to be just in or near the center line ⁇ of rotation with the same stabilizer.
  • the heavier a shooting device is, the further the roll mechanical arm is pulled away from the center line ⁇ of rotation; the lighter the mobile phone is, the closer the roll mechanical arm is pulled to the center line ⁇ of rotation.
  • a spacing projection an adjustable protruded height is provided on the roll mechanical arm at the same side as the fixing seat and in the proximity of the roll mechanical arm mounting seat, and is capable of coming into contact with/being separated from the roll mechanical arm mounting seat during rotation of the roll mechanical arm around the roll mechanical arm mounting seat.
  • the protruded height of the spacing projection may be adjusted in advance by a user such that the roll mechanical arm reaches the balanced center position of gravity exactly when the spacing projection is in contact with the roll mechanical arm mounting seat; that is, the center of gravity of an integrated unit formed by the roll mechanical arm mounting seat, the roll mechanical arm, the fixing seat and a mobile phone is just located in or near the center line ⁇ of rotation.
  • the protruded height of the spacing projection may be adjusted before use for the first time without repeated adjustment in later use each time; before shooting, the roll mechanical arm is just directly pulled in place (i.e., pulled until the spacing projection contacts with the roll mechanical arm mounting seat) , and then the center-of-gravity adjustment for the center line ⁇ of rotation can be achieved.
  • the protruded height of the spacing projection needs to be readjusted to be adapted to different center positions of gravity of different shooting devices.
  • the spacing projection is a limiting screw which is screwed into a threaded hole correspondingly formed in the roll mechanical arm.
  • the height of the exposed section of the limiting screw may be adjusted by rotating the limiting screw, and the structure is simple, and is convenient in adjustment.

  • center line ⁇ of rotation is perpendicular to the length direction of the pitch mechanical arm, while the center line ⁇ of rotation is perpendicular to the length direction of the roll mechanical arm, thereby better facilitating mounting and arrangement.
  • the fixing seat and the roll mechanical arm are not parallel with an angle of inclination therebetween and with the distance between the side, close to the pitch mechanical arm, of the fixing seat and the roll mechanical arm being greater than the distance between the other side of the fixing seat and the roll mechanical arm.

  • the rotating shaft of the roll mechanical arm mounting seat and the rotating shaft of the fixing seat are both hollow shafts with a control circuit and/or a power circuit passing through the hollow inner cavities thereof.
  • a brushless motor Due to extremely high transmission accuracy requirement on power output of the portable auxiliary stabilizer for image pickup and video shooting to avoid a transmission error from causing repeated rotation of a mobile phone to affect the shooting effect, brushless motors are usually used in the industry, and the power output of each motor is of a direct output pattern.
  • a brushless motor is relatively expensive, leading to a high cost of the product; moreover, in order to meet a certain output torque requirement, a motor may have a relatively large size, and consequently, the contour structure of the whole stabilizer is affected and the auxiliary stabilizer for image pickup and video shooting is inconvenient to carry.
  • the brush motors are used in cooperation with the transmission gear assemblies without backlash, thereby allowing for flexible magnification of the output torque multiple while guaranteeing high accuracy of transmission; therefore, a motor which is smaller in size, lower in output and cheater may be used to achieve the same output effect, thus leading to further reduction of the system power consumption and the production cost.
  • each transmission gear assembly without backlash comprises a first gear fixed to the output shaft of each brush motor, and a second gear and a third gear which are coaxially fixed onto the rotating shaft of the roll mechanical arm mounting seat or the rotating shaft of the fixing seat at an interval;

Regardless of forward or reverse rotation, the tooth clearance is always zero, thus guaranteeing high accuracy of transmission.
  • the transmission ratio of the gears may be varied flexibly by adjusting the gear ratio of the first gear to two gears, i.e., the second gear and the third gear.
  • each transmission gear assembly without backlash comprises an elastic gear fixed to the output shaft of each brush motor, and a rigid gear fixed to the rotating shaft of the roll mechanical arm mounting seat or the rotating shaft of the fixing seat; tooth profiles of the elastic gear are elastically deformable under the action of an external force, and tooth spaces of the rigid gear are hard and rigid tooth spaces with an outer edge size of each tooth profile of the elastic gear being greater than or equal to an inner edge size of each tooth space of the rigid gear; at an engaged position of the two gears, the tooth profile of the same gear tooth of the elastic gear is elastically deformable as pressed by the walls of a corresponding tooth space of the rigid gear and tightly leans against two side walls of the same tooth space of the rigid gear, resulting in zero backlash between each tooth profile of the elastic gear and each tooth space of the rigid gear; the tooth profiles of the elastic gear resile after the elastic gear leaves the engaged position.

Regardless of forward or reverse rotation, the tooth clearance is always zero, thus guaranteeing high accuracy of transmission.
  • the tooth spaces of the rigid gear stop pressing the tooth profiles of the elastic gear to allow the elastic gear to resile; therefore, the gears will not be locked even no lubrication is applied between the gears.
  • such a structure has only a low requirement on the machining accuracy of the elastic gear, and only requires that the outer edge size of each tooth profile of the elastic gear is equal to or slightly larger than the inner edge size of each tooth space of the rigid gear; therefore, the production cost is relatively low.
  • the elastic gear is integrally formed from other similar materials having certain rigidity and certain elasticity, such as an elastic rubber gear, an elastic foam gear, an elastic silicone gear, an elastic resin gear or the like.

  • the angles of rotation of the roll mechanical arm mounting seat and the fixing seat may be limited by the limiting blocks and the limiting stop pieces. Moreover, since the roll mechanical arm mounting seat and the fixing seat can only rotate within a limited angle, wire cables in the shaft cavities of their hollow rotating shafts may also be prevented from being twisted or broken after multiple turns of rotation.
  • the roll mechanical arm and the pitch mechanical arm are both straight arms; a hollow lug boss protrudes from a side, back to the fixing seat, of the roll mechanical arm, and the roll corrected motor is located in the hollow lug boss; a positioning recess is formed in the pitch mechanical arm at a corresponding position, and when being folded for carrying, the lug boss can be elastically pressed into the positioning recess.

  • the brush motor is used instead of the relatively expensive brushless motor, leading to reduction in product cost; the transmission gear assembly without backlash is used to magnify power output, thereby avoiding idle running caused by the backlashes between the gears in either forward or reverse rotation and guaranteeing a highly accurate transmission ratio; besides, the output torque can be increased manyfold, thereby allowing improvement of the load capability of the whole power system.
  • a motor smaller in size and lower in output may be used to achieve the same output effect, leading to the reduction of the size of the product, more compact structure and convenient carrying of the product, as well as reduction of the system power consumption and prolonging of the service life of the power supply battery; the wiring way of passing wires through the hollow shafts is adopted without additional use of special wire passing pipelines, allowing for more compact structure of the whole stabilizer and convenient wiring.

Abstract

L'invention a trait à un stabilisateur auxiliaire portatif pour la capture d'image et la prise de vidéo. Une extrémité d'un bras mécanique de roulis (2) est reliée rotative à un siège de montage de bras mécanique de roulis (6) ayant une ligne centrale γ de rotation. Le siège de montage de bras mécanique de roulis est relié rotatif à un bras mécanique de tangage (1) ayant une ligne centrale α de rotation. Un moteur à correction de tangage (4) est disposé sur un arbre tournant du siège de montage de bras mécanique de roulis. Un siège de fixation (3) ayant une ligne centrale β de rotation est monté rotatif par rapport à une surface latérale de l'autre extrémité du bras mécanique de roulis, et un moteur à correction de roulis (5) est placé sur un arbre tournant du siège de fixation. La ligne centrale γ de rotation est perpendiculaire à un plan dans lequel la ligne centrale α de rotation croise la ligne centrale β de rotation. Un accéléromètre et un gyroscope sont disposés sur le siège de fixation et reliés au moteur à correction de tangage et au moteur à correction de roulis au moyen d'unités de commande. Le stabilisateur est en outre pourvu d'un commutateur de régulation d'angle de tangage du moteur à correction de tangage, qui est relié au moteur à correction de tangage au moyen d'une unité de commande. Ce stabilisateur permet à un utilisateur de trouver la position du centre de gravité équilibrée d'un téléphone mobile (9) de manière rapide et pratique sans aucune compétence professionnelle. Ledit stabilisateur présente une faible consommation d'énergie de système et une moindre émission de chaleur. De plus, une lentille d'un dispositif de prise de vidéo est toujours maintenue de manière à faire face de façon stable à un sujet de prise de vidéo avec une qualité d'image élevée.
