Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a field of shooting support device, and to a clamping mechanism and a handheld gimbal. The clamping mechanism includes an upper clamping portion, a lower clamping portion opposite to the upper clamping portion, a clamping arm connected to the upper clamping portion and the lower clamping portion, a connecting aim rotably connected with the clamping arm, and a locking component. The locking component limits relative rotation of the clamping arm and the connecting arm. The locking component is disposed on a rotational connection position of the clamping armor and the connecting arm.

Claims (16)

1. A clamping mechanism, comprising:

an upper clamping portion, a lower clamping portion opposite to the upper clamping portion, a clamping arm connected to the upper clamping portion and the lower clamping portion, a connecting arm rotatably connected with the clamping arm, and a locking component; the locking component limits relative rotation of the clamping arm and the connecting arm; the locking component is disposed on a rotational connection position of the clamping arm and the connecting arm;

wherein the clamping mechanism further comprises a permanent magnet pole, a winding coil and a rotating shaft; a first end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with the connecting arm; the permanent magnet pole is fixedly disposed on the connecting arm and is coaxial with the rotating shaft a sleeve is disposed on the clamping arm; the clamping arm protrudes toward the connecting arm; and a second end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the sleeve and the second end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the sleeve; the winding coil is disposed on the sleeve and is located inside the permanent magnet pole.

2. The clamping mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a knurl is disposed on a periphery surface of the locking ring to increase friction.

3. The clamping mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein reinforcing ribs are disposed on the clamping arm; a first end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the ring seat; and a second end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the sleeve.

4. The clamping mechanism according to claim 1 , further comprising a charging interface, a battery, and a printed circuit board (PCB); the PCB is disposed on an interior of the clamping arm; a first end of the charging interface is electrically connected to the PCB; a second end of the charging interface is exposed on the clamping arm; the battery is electrically connected to the PCB and disposed on the interior of the clamping arm; and the winding coil is electrically connected to the PCB.

5. The clamping mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the locking component comprises a locking ring and a ring seat; the ring seat is disposed on the connecting arm and protrudes toward the clamping arm; an external thread is disposed on the ring seat; an internal thread is disposed on the locking ring and matches with the external thread; the locking ring is moved toward the clamping arm by matching of the internal thread and the external thread when the locking ring rotating; and the locking ring is pressed against the clamping arm to lock the clamping arm and the connecting arm.

6. A handheld gimbal, comprising:
