DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions and technical features encompassed in the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described exemplary embodiments are part of embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments and examples disclosed in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without inventive efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the disclosure as detailed in the appended claims. Further, the chart(s) and diagram(s) shown in the drawings are only examples, and does not necessarily include all components, elements, contents and/or operations/steps, nor does it have to be arranged in the described or specific order. For example, certain steps of the method may be performed in other orders or at the same time; some components/elements can also be disassembled, combined, or partially combined; therefore, the actual arrangement may be changed or modified according to actual conditions. In the case of no conflict, the components, elements, operations/steps, and other features disclosed in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

At present, with the spread and development of short videos and video blogs (e.g., Vlog), people have higher requirements for the quality and creativity of video shooting. They not only hope to shoot videos with stable, clear, and smooth quality, but also hope that a follow focus may be used to shoot a video with follow focus technology, so that the captured video will give people a refreshing sensory experience.

When the follow focus technology is used, it is necessary to adjust the follow focus so that the follow focus may provide a user with corresponding operation sensation feedback, such as damping operation sensation feedback, etc. However, the existing operation sensation feedback is realized through physical components. For example, the damping operation sensation is achieved by using damping grease, and the rebound operation sensation is realized through an elastic part (such as a spring). This kind of operation sensation feedback realized by physical components can be easily affected by the environment. For example, the fluidity of the damping grease may increase at high temperature, resulting in that the damping operation sensation feedback will be relatively reduced or even has no damping effect. But at low temperature, the fluidity of the damping grease will reduce, which increases the damping operation sensation feedback, or even causing a failure of rotation. Therefore, it is unable to provide accurate operation sensation feedback, reducing the user experience.

In addition, during the normal use of the follow focus, different users may have different operation sensations required. For example, when different users adjust the follow focus, due to different adjustment methods and strengths, there may be differences in the damping operation sensations required, But the use of damping grease may not provide different damping operation sensations for different users, such as damping operation sensations with different damping magnitudes.

Therefore, the present disclosure provides a control method of a follow focus wheel, a follow focus wheel, and a computer-readable storage medium, which may simulate an operation sensation of the follow focus wheel through a motor, thereby addressing the above problems and improving the user experience.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of a follow focus wheel according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of a circuit structure of a follow focus wheel according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, a follow focus wheel 100 may include an operating member or operator 10, a motor 11, a driving circuit 12, and a main control circuit 13, and the motor 11 may include a rotor and a coil.

In one embodiment, the operating member 10 is used for a user to operate and input a follow focus control signal. The operating member 10 may mechanically coupled with the rotor of the motor 11 and may drive the rotor of the motor 11 to rotate together; meanwhile the rotor of the motor 11 may also drive the operating member 10 to move during rotation. In this way, a corresponding operation sensation may be then simulated and fed back to the operating member 10.

The operation sensation may include a damping operation sensation, a wave-wheel operation sensation, or a rebound operation sensation and certainly may further include other types of operation sensations, which are not limited herein.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the operating member 10 may include, for example, a rubber ring 101, which is mechanically coupled with the rotor of the motor 11, such as through a shaft connection or through a gear connection, etc. When the user rotates the rubber ring 101, the rubber ring 101 may drive the rotor of the motor 11 to rotate together, and at the same time, the rotor of the motor 11 may also drive the rubber ring 101 to move during rotation, thereby simulating a damping operation sensation and feeding it back to the rubber ring 101.

In some embodiments, the operating member 10 may also include other types of members, such as a knob member or a rebound member. The knob member may feedback the wave-wheel operation sensation, and the rebound member may feedback the rebound operation sensation.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a follow focus wheel 100 may include a circuit board 14, and the circuit board 14 may be provided with a driving circuit 12 and/or a main control circuit 13. Optionally, the driving circuit 12 may be provided on the circuit board 14, and the circuit board 14 may also be provided with a position sensor, such as a Hall sensor 150, which may cooperate with a magnetic ring 15 provided on a motor 11 to detect angular position information of a rotor of the motor 11.

The motor 11 may include a permanent magnet synchronous motor or a DC motor. Of course, it may also be other types of motors, which is not limited herein. As shown in FIG. 4, the motor 11 may include a rotor 111 and a coil 112.

The driving circuit 12 may be connected to the motor 11 and is configured to drive the rotor 111 of the motor 11 to rotate. In one embodiment, the driving circuit 12 may adopt a three-phase bridge inverter circuit to drive the rotor 111 of the motor 11 to rotate in commutation through a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal.

The main control circuit 13 may be connected to the drive circuit 12 and is configured to complete the output torque control and the target closed-loop control of the motor 11 based upon the angular position information of the rotor 111 of the motor 11 and electrical parameters of the coil 112 of the motor 11. The main control circuit 13 may include a processor and a memory.

The target closed-loop may include at least one of a position closed-loop or a velocity closed-loop. Different target closed-loops are used to simulate different types of operation sensations. Different types of operation sensations correspond to different motor control strategies. The electrical parameters of the coil of the motor 11 may include current and/or voltage.

Exemplarily, as shown in Table 1, different types of operation sensations may include a damping operation sensation, a wave-wheel operation sensation or a rebound operation sensation; the velocity closed-loop is used to simulate the damping operation sensation, and the position closed-loop is used to simulate the wave-wheel operation sensation and rebound operation sensation.

In Table 1, the damping operation sensation runs on the velocity closed-loop, that is, the velocity closed-loop is used to realize the damping operation sensation feedback. The simulated wave-wheel operation sensation and rebound operation sensation run on the position closed-loop, that is, the position closed-loop is used to simulate the wave-wheel operation sensation and rebound operation sensation. Although the simulated wave-wheel operation sensation and rebound operation sensation both operate on the position closed-loop, the corresponding motor control strategies may be different.

In certain embodiments, Table 1 may be stored in the memory of the follow focus wheel, so that after determining the operation sensation that needs to be simulated, the table may be queried to determine the motor control strategy corresponding to the operation sensation that needs to be simulated.

After the output torque control of the motor 11 is completed, the main control circuit 13 may be further configured to: determine an operation sensation to be simulated and control an operation of the motor 11 based upon the motor control strategy corresponding to the operation sensation to be simulated, so as to provide corresponding operation sensation feedback.

For example, in one embodiments, it is determined that the operation sensation that needs to be simulated is a damping operation sensation, the motor 11 is controlled to run according to the motor control strategy I corresponding to the damping operation sensation, and the corresponding damping operation sensation feedback is provided; for example, in another embodiment, the operation sensation that needs to be simulated is determined to be a rebound operation sensation; then, the motor 11 is controlled to run according to the motor control strategy III corresponding to the rebound operation sensation, thereby providing corresponding rebound operation sensation feedback.

When the motor 11 is controlled to run according to the motor control strategy corresponding to the operation sensation that needs to be simulated, the motor 11 may be controlled to operate in a target closed-loop corresponding to the operation sensation that needs to be simulated, and a target parameter is determined and input into the target closed-loop for a closed-loop adjustment to provide corresponding operation sensation feedback.

FIG. 5 illustrates a schematic diagram of the principle of closed-loop control of a motor according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, when it is determined that the operation sensation to be simulated is a damping operation sensation, the motor may be controlled to run on the velocity closed-loop, and a target velocity may be determined and the determined target velocity is input into the velocity closed-loop for a closed-loop adjustment, thereby providing damping operation sensation feedback; for another example, when it is determined that the operation sensation that needs to be simulated is a rebound operation sensation, the motor may be controlled to run on the position closed-loop, and a target position may be determined and the determined target position is input into the position closed-loop for a closed-loop adjustment, thereby providing rebound operation sensation feedback.

In some embodiments, when the main control circuit 13 completes the output torque control of the motor 11, it may be specifically configured to: realize a current closed-loop control of the motor 11 based upon the angular position information of the rotor 111 and the current of the coil 112, and then complete the output torque control of the motor 11. The current of the coil 112 of the motor 11 has a linear relationship with the output torque, that is, the greater the current of the motor is, the greater the output torque is, so that the strength of the same type of operation sensation may be easily adjusted to meet the needs of different users, thereby satisfying the differential needs of different users, which improves the user experience.

Determining the operation sensation that needs to be simulated may include determining the operation sensation that needs to be simulated based upon the detected operating member that is operated upon. For example, when it is detected that the user operates the rubber ring 101, it may be determined that the operation sensation that needs to be simulated is the damping operation sensation; For another example, when it is detected that the user operates the rebound member, it may be determined that the operation sensation that needs to be simulated is the rebound operation sensation. Of course, the operation sensation that needs to be simulated may also be determined according to the type of operation sensation selected by the user.

Therefore, the control method of the follow focus wheel provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure may simulate operation sensations by controlling the motor to operate on different target closed-loops based upon corresponding motor control strategies, and then provide different operation sensation feedbacks, such as providing damping operation sensation, wave-wheel operation sensation, or rebound operation sensation, etc. As such, different operation sensations are simulated by the motor, which is not affected by environmental factors, thereby improving the user experience.

The following will introduce the specific control strategies of the three operation sensations according to some embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, that is, the motor control strategy corresponding to the damping operation sensation, the motor control strategy corresponding to the wave-wheel operation sensation, and the motor control strategy corresponding to the rebound operation sensation. It should be noted that the following description is merely for illustration of the present disclosure, not limitation of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, when the operation sensation that needs to be simulated is a damping operation sensation, the corresponding motor control strategy I may include: controlling the motor 11 to run in the velocity closed-loop, setting a target velocity to zero and inputting the target velocity to the velocity closed-loop, so that the motor 11 may perform a velocity closed-loop adjustment based upon the target velocity to provide damping operation sensation feedback.

In certain embodiments, when the operation sensation to be simulated is a damping operation sensation, the operating member may be a rotating member. The rotating member may be mechanically coupled and connected to the rotor of the motor 11. When a user operates the rotating member, the main control circuit 13 controls the motor to run the motor control strategy I to simulate the damping operation sensation and feedback the damping operation sensation to the rotating member, so that the user may feel the damping sensation.

In one embodiment, the rotating member is a rubber ring 101, the rubber ring 101 is used to adjust the focal length of a lens. The rubber ring 101 and the rotor 111 of the motor 11 may drive the rotor 111 of the motor 11 to rotate together through gearing or the like. Of course, the rotating member may also be other members that realize the adjustment of the rotating function, which is not limited herein.

FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic diagram of the principle of simulating a damping operation sensation according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the damping operation sensation will be described by taking the rubber ring 101 as an example. When a user twists the rubber ring 101, for example, the user twists in the counterclockwise direction, since the rubber ring 101 is mechanically coupled with the rotor 111 of the motor 11, the rubber ring 101 will drive the rotor 111 of the motor 11 to rotate, for example, it also rotates counterclockwise. Meanwhile, the motor 11 is controlled to run in the velocity closed-loop, the target velocity is set to zero and input to the velocity closed-loop, and the motor 11 performs a velocity closed-loop adjustment according to the target velocity. Since the target velocity is zero, the rubber ring 101 rotates counterclockwise (forward rotation), the velocity closed-loop error is negative, and the motor will output a reverse torque based upon the forward rotation velocity, that is, the rotor 111 of the motor 11 will rotate in the opposite direction (i.e., clockwise direction) to prevent the user from twisting the rubber ring 101, thereby providing damping operation sensation feedback to the rubber ring 101. Similarly, when the rubber ring 101 rotates clockwise (reverse rotation), the velocity closed-loop error is positive, and the motor will output a forward torque based upon the reverse rotation velocity, that is, the rotor 111 of the motor 11 will rotate in the reverse direction (counterclockwise direction), which will prevent the user from twisting the rubber ring 101, so that the user may feel the damping sensation. Since the damping operation sensation is simulated by the motor, it will not be affected by environmental factors such as temperature, thereby improving the user's experience.

In some embodiments, in order to make the simulated damping operation sensation more realistic, so as to improve the user's experience, when the damping operation sensation feedback is provided, the rotation velocity of the motor has a positive correlation with the output torque of the motor, and the output torque is not greater than a preset threshold.

In one embodiment, the faster the twisting velocity of the user is, the faster the rotation velocity of the motor is. Since the rotation velocity of the motor is positively correlated with the output torque of the motor, the faster the rotation velocity of the motor is, the greater the output torque of the motor will be. As a result, the greater the corresponding resistance will become, the stronger the damping operation sensation will be felt, so the more realistic damping operation sensation will be. However, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the damping sensation cannot be increased all the time during twisting, so the output torque is limited to not greater than the preset threshold A₀, that is, when the motor velocity reaches a certain value V₀, the output torque will no longer increase with the increase of motor velocity.

In some embodiments, when the operation sensation that needs to be simulated is a wave-wheel operation sensation, the corresponding motor control strategy II may include: controlling the motor 11 to operate in a position closed-loop; acquiring the current position of the rotor 111 of the motor 11; determining a target gear position based upon the current position; and inputting the determined target gear position as a target position to the position closed-loop, so that the motor 11 may perform a position closed-loop adjustment based upon the target position, thereby providing wave-wheel operation sensation feedback.

FIG. 8a and FIG. 8b illustrate schematic diagram of the principle of simulating a wave-wheel operation sensation according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, as shown in FIG. 8a, when the simulated operation sensation is a wave-wheel operation sensation, the operation member may be a knob member, and the knob member may be connected to the rotor 111 of the motor 11, for example, through a shaft, so as to drive the rotor 111 of the motor 11 to rotate together when the knob member rotates. When a user operates the knob member, the main control circuit 13 controls the motor 11 to simulate the wave-wheel operation sensation and feeds back the wave-wheel operation sensation to the knob member.

In certain embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8a, the knob member is a knob 102, and the knob 102 corresponds to different gear functions, for example six gear functions, namely, gear I, gear II, gear III, gear IV, gear V and gear VI. Different gears have different functions, so that the user may select the corresponding gear function by rotating the knob 102. When the user rotates the knob 102, it is necessary to simulate the wave-wheel operation sensation and feedback the simulated wave-wheel operation sensation to the user, so that the user may feel the rotation to a specific gear.

Because the target gear position, such as a selected gear position, as the target position is input into the position closed-loop, the motor 11 may perform a position closed-loop adjustment based upon the target position, so that the user may have a hand sensation of a cogging torque in the process of rotating the knob 102, i.e., the wave-wheel operation sensation.

The acquiring the current position of the rotor 111 of the motor 11 may include acquiring a current angular position of the rotor 111 of the motor 11 and determining the target gear position based upon the current angular position. The target gear position may be a gear position determined from a plurality of gear positions. As shown in FIG. 8a and FIG. 8b, the gear position corresponding to gear I is 30 degrees, the gear position corresponding to gear II is 90 degrees, the gear position corresponding to gear III is 150 degrees, the gear position corresponding to gear IV is 210 degrees, the gear position corresponding to gear V is 270 degrees, and the gear position corresponding to gear VI is 330 degrees.

In some embodiments, the determining the target gear position based upon the current position may include, from the plurality of gear positions, determining the gear position closest to the current position as the target gear position, where different gear positions correspond to different gears.

For example, the current position is 25 degrees, the gear position closest to the current position is gear I, and the gear position corresponding to gear I is 30 degrees, so it may be determined that the gear position of gear I is the target gear position.

In some embodiments, the determining the target gear position based upon the current position may include determining a preset position range to which the current position belongs and determining the gear position corresponding to the determined preset position range as the target gear position. Different preset position ranges correspond to different gear positions, as shown in Table 2 and FIG. 8b.

TABLE 2
Different preset position ranges correspond to different gear positions
Preset position	[0, 60)	[60, 120)	[120, 180)	[180, 240)	[240, 300)	[300, 360)
range (°)
Gear position (°)	30	90	150	210	270	330

In Table 2, the corresponding gear position of the preset position range [0, 60) is 30 degrees, the corresponding gear position of the preset position range [60, 120) is 90 degrees, the corresponding gear position of the preset position range [120, 180) is 150 degrees, the corresponding gear position of the preset position range [180, 240) is 210 degrees, the corresponding gear position of the preset position range [240, 300) is 270 degrees, and the corresponding gear position of the preset position range [300, 360) is 330 degrees.

Thus, the current position of the motor may be acquired, and the preset position range in which the current position is located may be queried to determine the corresponding gear position as the target gear position.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8b, when it is determined that the current position of the motor is within the preset position range [60, 120), it may be determined that the gear position 90 degrees is the target gear position.

It should be noted that in some practical applications, the wave-wheel operation sensation may be applied to, for example, select different menu options through the knob member, and different menu options correspond to different functions, such as selecting different shooting modes, or selecting different photo brightness levels.

In some embodiments, when the operation sensation that needs to be simulated is a rebound operation sensation, the corresponding motor control strategy III may include: controlling the motor 11 to run in the position closed-loop; and inputting a zero position as a target position into the position closed-loop, so that the motor 11 performs a position closed-loop adjustment based upon the target position, thereby providing the rebound operation sensation feedback. The zero position may be the middle position of a parameter adjustment range.

For the rebound operation sensation, the operation member may include a rebound member, which may be connected to the rotor 111 of the motor 11 through a mechanical coupling. The mechanical coupling connection may be a connection structure for realizing swing, such as a crank connecting rod structure. When the rebound member is operated, the main control circuit may control the motor to run to simulate a rebound operation sensation and feed back to the rebound member.

FIG. 9a and FIG. 9b illustrate schematic diagram of the principle of simulating a rebound operation sensation according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 9a, the rebound member may be a joystick 103. The rebound operation sensation of the existing joystick is mostly realized by a spring. As the service time increases, the elastic force of the spring will gradually weaken, which in turn affects the rebound operation sensation.

The parameter adjustment range may be the range that the joystick may reach in a certain direction, such as positions that the joystick 103 may reach left and right in the horizontal direction, and a range that the joystick 103 may reach up and down in the vertical direction.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 9b, when it is determined that the operation sensation to be simulated is a rebound operation sensation, for example, when a user swings the joystick 103 from position 1 to position 2, the motor 11 is controlled to run in the position closed-loop, and the zero position (i.e., the middle position of the joystick 103) is input to the position closed-loop as the target position, so that the motor 11 may perform a position closed loop adjustment based upon the target position, that is, the joystick 103 is swung from position 1 to position 2 according to the swing direction of the user, and when the motor 11 performs the closed-loop adjustment based upon the target position, a torque in the opposite direction (i.e., the motor adjustment direction shown in FIG. 9b) will be output to drive the joystick 103 to return to position 1, thereby realizing the rebound operation sensation feedback.

In some embodiments, in order to make the simulated rebound operation sensation more realistic and improve the user experience, when providing the rebound operation sensation feedback, it is defined that the angular position information is positively correlated with the output torque of the motor, and the output torque is not greater than a preset threshold. That is, the greater the deviation of the angular position information from the middle position is, the greater the corresponding output torque of the motor is, and the stronger the corresponding rebound operation sensation is; as a result, a more realistic rebound operation sensation is simulated. However, the rebound operation sensation cannot always be enhanced with the increase of the angular position information (i.e., the deviation from the middle position increases), so the output torque may be limited to not be greater than the preset threshold. That is, when the angular position information of the rotor of the motor reaches the angle S₀, the output torque is A₀, and the output torque is not increasing.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the angular position information of the rotor 111 of the motor 11 may be obtained by utilizing a position sensor or by software calculation without using a position sensor.

For example, in certain embodiments, the follow focus wheel 100 may further include a position sensor 16, and the position sensor 16 is used to detect the angular position information of the rotor of the motor 11 and send the angular position information to the main control circuit 13. The position sensor 16 may include at least one of a magnetic ring Hall sensor, a photoelectric encoder, or a magnetic encoder.

In some embodiments, a magnetic ring position Hall sensor may be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a magnetic ring 15 is installed on the motor 11, and a Hall sensor 150 is installed on the circuit board 14. The angular position information of the rotor of the motor 11 may be detected through the Hall sensor 150 and the magnetic ring 15. The Hall sensor may be a single-axis Hall sensor or a three-axis Hall sensor, and the number of Hall sensors is not limited and may be one or more.

In some embodiments, for example, the angular position information may be obtained by software calculation. The main control circuit may specifically acquire the current and voltage of the motor during operation and calculate the angular position information of the rotor of the motor based upon the current and voltage.

As shown in FIG. 15, the control method of a follow focus wheel may include steps S201 to S203.

The determining the target gear position based upon the current position may include: determining a preset position range to which the current position belongs and utilizing a gear position corresponding to the determined preset position range as the target gear position, where different preset position ranges correspond to different gear positions; or determining the gear position closest to the current position as the target gear position from a plurality of gear positions, where different gear positions correspond to different gears.

In some embodiments, the motor control strategy III may include: controlling the motor to run in a position closed-loop; inputting a zero position as a target position to the position closed-loop, so that the motor performs a position closed-loop adjustment based upon the target position, thereby providing rebound operation sensation feedback, where the zero position is the middle position of a parameter adjustment range.

When the motor is controlled to run the motor control strategy III and provide rebound operation sensation feedback, it may be defined that the angular position information has a positive correlation with the output torque of the motor, and the output torque is not greater than a preset threshold, so as to produce a more realistic operation sensation.

In some embodiments, the parameter set by the user may further include a resistance level, which is used to adjust the strength of an operation sensation, where the resistance level may be linearly related to the current of the coil of the motor, the larger the resistance is set, the larger the current is, and the stronger the corresponding operation sensation is. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the adjustment of the strength of the same type of operation sensation, thereby meeting the needs of different users and improving the user experience.
