Gimbal and locking structure
First Claim
1. A gimbal comprising:
- a yaw-axis structure including;
a rotating member; and
a bearing member rotatably connected to the rotating member; and
a locking structure coupled to the rotating member, the locking structure includes;
a cover fixed on the rotating member, a receiving slot being formed between the cover and the rotating member;
a locking switch received in the receiving slot and being slidable along the receiving slot; and
a positioning snap member, one end of the positioning snap member being connected to the locking switch via an elastic member, and another end of the positioning snap member including a snap-fit portion,wherein the snap-fit portion is configured to be snapped to the bearing member to effect a yaw-axis locking of the gimbal when the locking switch is pushed downwards to exert a pressure on the positioning snap member via the elastic member and the snap-fit portion is aligned with a preset position of the bearing member.

Abstract
A gimbal includes a yaw-axis structure and a locking structure. The yaw-axis structure includes a rotating member and a bearing member connected to the rotating member. The locking structure is coupled to the rotating member and includes a cover fixed on the rotating member with a receiving slot formed between the cover and the rotating member, a locking switch received in the receiving slot and slidable along the receiving slot, and a positioning snap member. One end of the positioning snap member is connected to the locking switch via an elastic member. Another end of the positioning snap member includes a snap-fit portion configured to be snapped to the bearing member to effect a yaw-axis locking of the gimbal when the locking switch is pushed downwards to exert a pressure on the positioning snap member and the snap-fit portion is aligned with a preset position of the bearing member.

13. A handle gimbal comprising:
-
a handle including a battery compartment; and a gimbal coupled to the handle, the gimbal including; a yaw-axis structure connected to the handle and including a locking structure; a roll-axis structure connected to the yaw-axis structure and configured to be rotated by the yaw-axis structure; and a pitch-axis structure connected to the roll-axis structure and configured to be rotated by the roll-axis structure, the pitch-axis structure being configured to support a load and drive the load to rotate, wherein the yaw-axis structure is configured to be locked by the locking structure when the yaw-axis structure rotates to a preset position in a non-operational state of the gimbal. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
