Abstract
A camera includes a sensor assembly and a lock mechanism. The sensor assembly includes a movable member and an image sensor coupled to the movable member and configured to move together with the movable member. The lock mechanism is configured to lock the movable member to limit movement of the movable member. The lock mechanism includes a coil assembly and a magnetic attraction assembly. The coil assembly or the magnetic attraction assembly is configured to move closer to or away from the movable member under an action of a magnetic field force in response to the coil assembly being energized, to lock or unlock the movable member.
Claims20
A camera comprising:
- a sensor assembly including a movable member and an image sensor coupled to the movable member and configured to move together with the movable member;
- a lock mechanism configured to lock the movable member to limit movement of the movable member, the lock mechanism including a coil assembly and a magnetic attraction assembly, and the coil assembly or the magnetic attraction assembly being configured to move closer to or away from the movable member under an action of a magnetic field force in response to the coil assembly being energized, to lock or unlock the movable member.
A gimbal comprising:
- a rotatable joint including:
- a motor;
- a shaft arm installed at the motor and configured to be driven by the motor to rotate;
- and
- a lock mechanism provided at the motor or the shaft arm and configured to lock the motor and the shaft arm to limit movement of the shaft arm, the lock mechanism including a coil assembly and a magnetic attraction assembly, and the coil assembly or the magnetic attraction assembly being configured to move closer to or away from the shaft arm under an action of a magnetic field force in response to the coil assembly being energized, to lock or unlock the shaft arm and the motor.
