Abstract

A shock-absorption head includes a connector, a moving component, a supporting component, and a shock-absorption structure. The shock-absorption head can induce a swaying motion in the supporting component, counteracting any tendency of a camera to swing. This motion, facilitated by the shock-absorption structure's telescopic movement, effectively mitigates the centrifugal force resulting from the camera's oscillation. The shock-absorption head can minimize the risk of detachment between the camera and the shock-absorption arm, thereby preventing camera instability and ensuring the steadiness of the captured image.

Claims (53)

1 . A shock-absorption head, comprising:

a connector;

a moving member;

a supporting member;

a shock-absorption structure movably connected to the connector and the moving member, wherein the shock-absorption structure comprises two shock-absorption structures respectively configured on opposite sides of the connector, and the two shock-absorption structures are configured to buffer left-right movement and fore-and-aft movement of the supporting member;

a first end of the moving member being movably connected to the connector, while a second end being movably connected to the supporting member; and

an end of the shock-absorption structure away from the connector being movably connected to the supporting member.

2 . The shock-absorption head according to claim 1 , wherein the shock-absorption structure comprises a shock-absorption component and a transmission component;

the shock-absorption component comprises a first end affixed to the connector, and a second end movably linked to the transmission component;

an end of the transmission component, away from the shock-absorption component, establishes a movable connection with the supporting member; and

an end of the moving member, away from the supporting member, establishes a movable connection with the transmission component.

3 . The shock-absorption head according to claim 2 , wherein the shock-absorption component comprises a shock-absorption body and a telescopic part;

the shock-absorption body is securely fixed on a side wall of the connector; and

the telescopic part comprises a first end establishing a movable connection to the transmission component, and a second end being movably arranged within the shock-absorption body.

4 . The shock-absorption head according to claim 3 , wherein the transmission component comprises a first transmission member and a second transmission member;

a first end of the first transmission member being connected to a first end of the telescopic part, while a second end of the first transmission member being movably connected to a first end of the second transmission member;

a second end of the second transmission member being movably linked to the supporting member; and

a midpoint of the first transmission member establishes a rotatable connection with both the moving member and the connector.

5 . The shock-absorption head according to claim 1 , further comprising a moving shaft, the moving shaft featuring a first shaft part and a second shaft part;

wherein the moving member is equipped with a first rotating shaft seat, and the supporting member comprises a second rotating shaft seat; and

wherein the first shaft part is movably connected to the first rotating shaft seat, and the second shaft part is movably connected to the second rotating shaft seat.

6 . The shock-absorption head according to claim 5 , wherein the moving member and the moving shaft are located between the two shock-absorption structures.

7 . The shock-absorption head according to claim 6 , further comprising:

two mounting bases respectively arranged on a different side of the supporting member; and

a plurality of pivot shafts being configured on the mounting bases, each of the plurality of pivot shafts being movably connected to a corresponding one of the two shock-absorption structures, with the second rotating shaft seat aligning along an axis between the two mounting bases.

8 . The shock-absorption head according to claim 1 ,

wherein the two shock-absorption structures are configured to extend or retract simultaneously to buffer the fore-and-aft movement of the supporting member, and

wherein a first one of the two shock-absorption structures is configured to extend and a second one of the two shock-absorption structures is configured to retract, to buffer the left-right movement of the supporting member.

9 . A shock-absorption mechanism, comprising:

a base, a cushioning component, a damping component, and the shock-absorption head according to claim 1 ;

the connector comprising a shock-absorption arm that is movably connected to the base;

the damping component, located on the shock-absorption arm, and the damping component being movably connected to the cushioning component; and

an end of the cushioning component, away from the damping component, establishes a rotatable connection with the base.

10 . The shock-absorption mechanism according to claim 9 , wherein the cushioning component comprises a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod;

the damping component comprises a damping telescopic shaft and a damping guide sleeve;

the first connecting rod comprises a first end movably connected to the base, and a second end movably connected to a first end of the second connecting rod;

a second end of the second connecting rod establishes a movable connection with an output end of the damping telescopic shaft;

an end of the damping telescopic shaft away from the second connecting rod being configured within the damping guide sleeve; and

an end of the damping guide sleeve away from the second connecting rod being connected to a bottom of an end of the shock-absorption arm.

11 . A shock-absorption head, comprising:

a connector;

a moving member;

a supporting member;

a shock-absorption structure movably connected to the connector and the moving member;

a first end of the moving member being movably connected to the connector, while a second end being movably connected to the supporting member; and
