First Preferred Embodiment

Referring to FIG. 1-FIG. 6, according to a first preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a three-axis gimbal, comprising a carrier 3, a first fixing frame 21, a second fixing frame 22, a third fixing frame 23, a first motor 11, a second motor 12 and a third motor 13.


As shown in FIG. 1, the first motor 11 is connected respectively with the first fixing frame 21 and the second fixing frame 22, and is configured to drive the second fixing frame 22 to rotate relative to the first fixing frame 21; the second motor 12 is connected respectively with the second fixing frame 22 and the third fixing frame 23, and is configured to drive the third fixing frame 23 to rotate relative to the second fixing frame 22; and, the third motor 13 is connected respectively with the third fixing frame 23 and the carrier 3, and is configured to drive the carrier 3 to rotate relative to the third fixing frame 23.


As shown in FIG. 3, through the first motor 11, a rotation around an axis “X” of the first motor 11 is realized; through the second motor 12, a rotation around an axis “Y” of the second motor 12 is realized; and, through the third motor 13, a rotation around an axis “Z” of the third motor 13 is realized.


As shown in FIG. 3, the axis “X” of the first motor 11, the axis “Y” of the second motor 12 and the third axis “Z” of the third motor 13 are perpendicular to each other. The axis “Y” of the second motor 12 is parallel to an axis of the carrier 3, and the axis “Z” of the third motor 13 is perpendicular to the first fixing frame 21. Preferably, the axis “Y” of the second motor 12 and the axis of the carrier 3 are coaxial. Through the above arrangement of the first motor 11, the second motor 12 and the third motor 13, a stability of the carrier 3 is improved. When the carrier 3 is a camera unit, a shooting stability is greatly increased.


As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional motor comprises a stator and a rotor. According to the first preferred embodiment, a stator 111 of the first motor 11 is connected with the first fixing frame 21, and a rotor 112 of the first motor 11 is connected with the second fixing frame 22. A relative rotation generates between the stator 111 and the rotor 112, so as to drive the second fixing frame to rotate.


A stator 121 of the second motor 12 is connected with the second fixing frame 22, and a rotor 122 of the second motor 12 is connected with the third fixing frame 23. A relative rotation generates between the stator 121 and the rotor 122, so as to drive the third fixing frame to rotate.


A stator 131 of the third motor 13 is connected with the third fixing frame 23, and a rotor 132 of the third motor 13 is connected with the carrier 3. A relative rotation generates between the stator 131 and the rotor 132, so as to drive the carrier 3 to rotate.

Through arranging the first motor 11, the second motor 12 and the third motor 13 in the same plane, stacking of the first motor 11, the second motor 12 and the third motor 13 in the vertical direction is avoided, which effectively reduces a thickness of the three-axis gimbal in the vertical direction. Therefore, a volume and a weight of the gimbal are decreased, which is beneficial to a control of the three-axis gimbal.


As shown in FIG. 3, according to the first preferred embodiment, the axis “X” of the first motor 11 is perpendicular to the axis “Y” of the second motor 12, and the two axes are located in the same plane “P”, so as to realize the rational arrangement of the axis “X” of the first motor 11 and the axis “Y” of the second motor 12, eliminate a distance deviation of the planes where the two axes are located and reduce a control difficulty of the motors. The axis “Z” of the third motor 13 is perpendicular to the plane “P”.


Preferably, the axis “X” of the first motor 11 is located in a horizontal plane. Under an initial state, the plane “P” is namely the horizontal plane. The axis “X” of the first motor 11 is arranged to be located in the horizontal plane, that is to say both of the axis “X” and the axis “Y” are initially arranged horizontally, which simplifies a coordinate system and reduces the control difficulty of the motors.


As shown in FIG. 1, the first fixing frame 21 comprises a base 211 and an extension arm 212 perpendicular to the base 211, wherein the first motor 11 is connected with the extension arm 212.

Through the above arrangement, most or even all of the first motor 11, the second motor 12 and the third motor 13 are under a projection of the base 211, which effectively reduces a size of the three-axis gimbal in a horizontal direction and is beneficial to miniaturization.


As shown in FIG. 5, the second motor 12, the third motor 13 and the carrier 3 are successively arranged along the same plane. Through the position arrangement of the carrier 3, the structure is further compressed.

Preferably, the axis “Y” of the second motor 12 and the axis of the carrier 3 are coaxial. Through the above arrangement of the first motor 11, the second motor 12 and the third motor 13, a stability of the carrier 3 is increased. When the carrier 3 is a camera unit, a shooting stability is greatly increased.


As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, according to the second preferred embodiment, the axis “Z” of the first motor 11 is perpendicular to the axis “Y” of the second motor 12, and the two axes are located in the same plane “M”, so as to realize the rational arrangement of the axis “Z” of the first motor 11 and the axis “Y” of the second motor 12, eliminate a distance deviation of the planes where the two axes are located and reduce a control difficulty of the motors. The axis “X” of the third motor 13 and the axis of the second motor 12 are located in the plane “P”, and the axis “X” of the third motor 13 is perpendicular to the plane “M”.


Preferably, the axis “Z” of the first motor 11 is arranged to be in a vertical state. Under an initial state, the plane “M” serves as a vertical plane and the plane “P” serves as a horizontal plane. The axis “Z” of the first motor 11 is arranged to be located in the vertical plane, that is to say both of the axis “X” and the axis “Y” are initially arranged horizontally, which simplifies a coordinate system and reduces the control difficulty of the motors.


Implementation principles of other parts of the second preferred embodiment are same as that of the first preferred embodiment, and thus not described in detail.

Through arranging the first motor 11 and the second motor 12 in the same plane, stacking of the first motor 11 and the second motor 12 in the vertical direction is avoided, which effectively decreases a thickness of the two-axis gimbal in the vertical direction. Therefore, a volume and a weight of the gimbal are decreased, which is beneficial to a control of the two-axis gimbal.


As shown in FIG. 12, according to the third preferred embodiment, the axis “X” of the first motor 11 is perpendicular to the axis “Y” of the second motor 12, and the two axes are located in the same plane “P”, so as to realize the rational arrangement of the axis “X” of the first motor 11 and the axis “Y” of the second motor 12, eliminate a distance deviation of the planes where the two axes are located and reduce a control difficulty of the motors.
