Title: Handheld gimbal

Description:
RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is a continuation application of PCT application No. PCT/CN2018/106534, filed on Sep. 19, 2018, and the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
    
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of gimbal technologies, and in particular, to a handheld gimbal. 
     BACKGROUND 
     With increasingly higher requirements for video photographing, users have growing demands for gimbals. Handheld gimbals have become the products commonly used by many users. As carriers of electronic devices (such as mobile phones or cameras), the handheld gimbals can provide stable photographing conditions for the electronic devices. As gimbal technologies develop, the handheld gimbals have become smaller, so that users no longer need to carry bulky three-axis devices to achieve the effect of gimbal photographing. 
     However, small handheld gimbals usually aim at an integrated design and do not have a quick release function for gimbal cameras and handles. Thus, it is usually difficult to separate a gimbal camera from a photographing handle. As a result, small handheld gimbals are portable for users due to integrated designs, but cannot provide targeted protection and storage for the gimbals and handles, and the gimbal cameras cannot be separately upgraded in the future. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a portable handheld gimbal. 
     Specifically, the embodiments of the present disclosure are implemented by using the following technical solution: 
     A handheld gimbal, including: a handle including: a first electrical contact portion, and an adapter ring rotatably disposed on an end portion of the handle, the adapter ring including a first connecting member; and a photographing apparatus mounted on the handle and including: a second connecting member detachably connect to the first connecting member, and a second electrical contact portion electrically connect to the first electrical contact portion, wherein rotating the adapter ring in a first direction locks the first connecting member with the second connecting member, and rotating the adapter ring in a direction opposite to the first direction unlocks the first connecting member from the second connecting member, a mounting portion to engage with the adapter ring, and both the second connecting member and the second electrical contact portion being disposed on the mounting portion, and wherein one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member is a clamping slot, and the other one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member is a clamping jaw adapted to the clamping slot.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The following describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to accompanying drawings of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. 
     The following describes a handled gimbal according to the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. If there is no conflict, the following embodiments and features may be combined with each other. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 5 , some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a handheld gimbal  100 , including a handle  10  and a photographing apparatus  20  mounted on the handle  10 . A top surface of the handle  10  is provided with a first electrical contact portion  14 . A top portion of the handle  10  is rotatably provided with an adapter ring  15 . The adapter ring  15  is provided with a first connecting member  13 . The photographing apparatus  20  is provided with a second connecting member  21  engaged with the first connecting member  13  and a second electrical contact portion  26  electrically connected to the first electrical contact portion  14 . The electrical connection between the first electrical contact portion  14  of the handle  10  and the second electrical contact portion  26  of the photographing apparatus  20  enables the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  to be electrically connected to each other, implement signal and data transmission between the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20 , and enable a power supply of the handle  10  to supply power to the photographing apparatus  20 . In some exemplary embodiments, the photographing apparatus  20  may include a three-axis gimbal camera. 
     The adapter ring  15  may rotate in a first direction, so that the first connecting member  13  of the handle  10  and the second connecting member  21  of the photographing apparatus  20  are locked to each other, thereby fixing the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  to each other. The adapter ring  15  may also rotate in a direction opposite to the first direction, so that the first connecting member  13  of the handle  10  and the second connecting member  21  of the photographing apparatus  20  are unlocked from each other, thereby separating the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  from each other. 
     It can be learned from the foregoing technical solutions that, in the handheld gimbal  100  of some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the electrical connection between the first electrical contact portion  14  of the handle  10  and the second electrical contact portion  26  of the photographing apparatus  20  may implement signal and data transmission between the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20 , and enable a power supply of the handle  10  to supply power to the photographing apparatus  20 . The rotation of the adapter ring  15  may cause the first connecting member  13  of the handle  10  and the second connecting member  21  of the photographing apparatus  200  to be locked to or unlocked from each other, so that the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  may be fixed to or detached from each other, thereby ensuring a mechanical connection between the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20 , facilitating detachment, and making the handheld gimbal  100  easy to carry and store. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the first connecting member  13  is disposed on an inner wall of the adapter ring  15 , and the first electrical contact portion  14  is disposed on the top surface of the handle  10 . The photographing apparatus  20  is provided with a mounting portion  27  engaged with the adapter ring  15 , and both the second connecting member  21  and the second electrical contact portion  26  are disposed on the mounting portion  27 . The rotation of the adapter ring  15  may enable the first connecting member  13  of the handle  10  and the second connecting member  21  of the photographing apparatus  20  to be locked to or unlocked from each other, so that the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  can be fixed to or detached from each other. In some exemplary embodiments, the adapter ring  15  is disposed on the top portion of the handle  10 , and the mounting portion  27  is disposed on a bottom portion of the photographing apparatus  20 , so that the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  may be connected to each other. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, one of the first connecting member  13  and the second connecting member  21  is a clamping slot, and the other one of the first connecting member  13  and the second connecting member  21  is a clamping jaw adapted to (such as matching) the clamping slot. It may be understood that, a detachable connection may be achieved through engagement between the clamping jaw and the clamping slot. When the clamping jaw is clamped in the clamping slot, the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  are connected to each other. When the clamping jaw is taken out of the clamping slot, the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  are separate from each other. In some practical applications, after the mounting portion  27  of the photographing apparatus  20  is mounted to the handle  10 , rotation of the adapter ring  15  may lock the clamping slot and the clamping jaw to each other, and further fix the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  to each other. Rotation of the adapter ring  15  in an opposite direction may unlock the clamping slot and the clamping jaw from each other, thereby separating the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  from each other. Certainly, in other examples, the first connecting member  13  and the second connecting member  21  may alternatively be in other detachable structural forms, such as in magnetic attraction or threaded connection manner. This is not limited in the present disclosure. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the first connecting member  13  is a clamping slot, and the second connecting member  21  is a clamping jaw. That is, the first connecting member  13  disposed on the adapter ring  15  of the handle  10  is a clamping slot, and the mounting portion  27  of the photographing apparatus  20  is provided with a clamping jaw engaged with the clamping slot. There may be a plurality of clamping slots that are evenly distributed on a top surface of the adapter ring  15  peripherally. The quality of the clamping jaws corresponds to the quality of the clamping slots, and the clamping jaws are evenly distributed on a periphery of the bottom surface of the mounting portion  27 . In some exemplary embodiments, there are three clamping slots and three clamping jaws, and the clamping slots and the clamping jaws are evenly distributed peripherally. 
     In practical applications, a user may mount the mounting portion  27  of the photographing apparatus  20  to the adapter ring  15  of the handle  10 . Through clamping engagement between the clamping jaws and the clamping slots, the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  may be connected to each other. Taking the clamping jaws out of the clamping slots may separate the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  from each other, thereby making the handheld gimbal  100  easy to carry and store. 
     Referring to  FIG. 6  and  FIG. 7 , in some exemplary embodiments, the clamping jaw may include a body portion  211  and a hook portion  212  that protrudes outward from the body portion  211 . The clamping slot may include a first clamping segment  131  and a second clamping segment  132  communicating with the first clamping segment  131 . A radial length of the first clamping segment  131  matches a radial length of the body portion  211 , so that the body portion  211  of the clamping jaw may be clamped therein. A radial length of the second clamping segment  132  is not less than a sum of radial lengths of the body portion  211  and the hook portion  212 , so that both the body portion  211  and the hook portion  212  of the clamping jaw may be clamped therein. In some exemplary embodiments, the hook portion  212  of the clamping jaw protrudes radially outward from the body portion  211 , and correspondingly, the second clamping segment  132  of the clamping slot protrudes radially outward from the first clamping segment  131  to be engaged with the clamping jaw, so that the clamping jaw may be clamped therein. 
     In practical applications, when mounting the mounting portion  27  of the photographing apparatus  20  to the adapter ring  15  of the handle  10 , a user may first insert the clamping jaw into the second clamping segment  132  of the clamping slot, and then rotates the clamping jaw in a direction approaching the first clamping segment  131  of the clamping slot, so that the body portion  211  of the clamping jaw is clamped in the hook portion  212  of the clamping slot. In this case, the hook portion  212  of the clamping jaw is hooked on an inner wall of the first clamping segment  131  of the clamping slot for positioning, thereby preventing the clamping jaw from falling out of the clamping slot. The clamping jaw may be elastic, or a thickness of the body portion  211  of the clamping jaw may be slightly greater than a width of the first clamping segment  131  of the clamping slot, so that when the clamping jaw rotates to be engaged with the clamping slot, there is a compression effect between the clamping jaw and the clamping slot, thereby making the clamping jaw and the clamping slot not move peripherally. When the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  need to be detached from each other, only the body portion  211  of the clamping jaw needs to be rotated in a direction away from the first clamping segment  131  of the clamping slot until the body portion  211  of the clamping jaw is detached from the first clamping segment  131  of the clamping slot. In this case, both the body portion  211  and the hook portion  212  of the clamping jaw are located in the second clamping segment  132  of the clamping slot, and the hook portion  212  of the clamping jaw and the first clamping segment  131  of the clamping slot are separate from each other. In this way, the clamping jaw can be taken out of the clamping slot. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the first electrical contact portion  14  includes a plurality of first metal contacts  141 , and the second electrical contact portion  26  includes a plurality of second metal contacts  261  whose quantity corresponds to the quantity of the first metal contacts  141 . The first electrical contact portion  14  disposed on the adapter member  15  and the second electrical contact portion  26  disposed on the mounting portion  27  are engaged to achieve electrical connection between the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  via the contacts, and the process of implementing the electrical connection is simple and fast. It should be noted that, the quantity and distribution manner of the plurality of first metal contacts  141  of the first electrical contact portion  14  correspond to those of the plurality of second metal contacts  261  of the second electrical contact portion  26 , so that after the photographing apparatus  20  is mounted on the adapter member  15  of the handle  10  via the second connecting member  21 , the first electrical contact portion  14  and the second electrical contact portion  26  can be electrically connected to each other, thereby implementing the electrical connection between the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20 . Certainly, in other examples, the first electrical contact portion  14  and the second electrical contact portion  26  may alternatively be electrically connected in other manners. For example, methods of telescopic probes, electrical plug-in interfaces, or direct surface-to-surface contact may be used to achieve electrical connection. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the handle  10  is provided with a display screen  50  for displaying the content photographed by the photographing apparatus  20 . In some exemplary embodiments, the display screen  50  may be a touch liquid crystal display (LCD). Certainly, in other embodiments, other types of display screens may alternatively be used. 
     The display screen  50  is disposed on the handle  10  of the handheld gimbal  100 , and the display screen can display the content photographed by the photographing apparatus  20 , so that a user can quickly browse, through the display screen  50 , pictures or videos captured by the photographing apparatus  20 , thereby improving the experience and enjoyment of the user in interaction with the handheld gimbal  100 , and meeting various user requirements. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the handle  10  is further provided with a control part  60  for controlling the photographing apparatus  20 . The control part  60  may be used to control the operation of the photographing apparatus  20 , for example, control power on and power off of the photographing apparatus  20 , control photographing of the photographing apparatus  20 , and control the posture change of the gimbal of the photographing apparatus  20 , so that a user can perform a quick operation on the photographing apparatus  20 . The control part  60  may be in a form of a button (a virtual button or a physical button), a knob, or a joystick. In some exemplary embodiments, the control part  60  may include a shutter button  61  for controlling photographing of the photographing apparatus  20  and a power button  62  for controlling the power on and power off of the photographing apparatus  20 . Certainly, the control part  60  may further include another control button, such as an image storage button or an image playing control button. This may be set as needed. 
     Further, the control part  60  and the display screen  50  may be disposed on a same side surface of the handle  10 . The control part  60  and the display screen  50  shown in the figure are both disposed on a front surface of the handle  10 . This is more in line with the usage habit of users, and is easier to operate. This makes the appearance and layout of the entire handheld gimbal  100  more appropriate and aesthetic. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the handle  10  is further provided with a card slot  70  for inserting a storage device. In some exemplary embodiments, the card slot  70  is formed on a side surface of the handle  10  adjacent to the display screen  50 . An SD card may be inserted into the card slot  70 , so that an image captured by the photographing apparatus  20  may be stored in the SD card. In addition, disposing the card slot  70  on a side portion does not affect the use of other functions, thereby achieving better user experience. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, a battery for supplying power to the handle  10  and the photographing apparatus  20  may be provided inside the handle  10 . The battery may be a built-in lithium ion battery, to achieve a compact design of the handheld gimbal  100 . 
     Further, the handle  10  is further provided with a charging interface  71 . In some exemplary embodiments, the charging interface  71  is disposed on a bottom portion of the handle  10 , to be more easily connected to an external power supply, so as to charge the battery. In some other embodiments, the battery may alternatively be a removable and replaceable battery. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the handle  10  is further provided with a microphone  72  for receiving an audio signal and an indicator  73  for displaying a battery level. There may be one indicator  73 , or may be a plurality of indicators  73 . In some exemplary embodiments, there is one indicator  73 . A user may have audio interaction with the display screen  50  through the microphone  72 , thereby further improving the experience and enjoyment of the user in interaction with the handheld gimbal  100 , and meeting various user requirements. In addition, the indicator  73  may also serve as a reminder, so that the user may learn the battery level of the handheld gimbal  100  through the indicator  73  to charge the handheld gimbal  100  in time. In addition, the microphone  72  and the indicator  73  may also be both disposed on the front surface of the handle  10 . This is more in line with the usage habit of users, and is easier to operate. This makes the appearance and layout of the entire handheld gimbal  100  more appropriate and aesthetic. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the photographing apparatus  20  may include a gimbal support and a photographing element  22  mounted on the gimbal support. The photographing element  22  may be a camera, or may be a photographing element including a lens and an image sensor (such as a CMOS or a CCD). This can be specifically selected as needed. The photographing element  22  may be integrated to the gimbal support, and in such a case, the photographing apparatus  20  is a gimbal camera; or may be an external camera device, detachably connected to or clamped to be mounted on the gimbal support. When the photographing apparatus  20  includes the gimbal support, the control part  60  of the handle may further include a posture joystick, to control the posture of the photographing apparatus in at least one of a yaw direction, a roll direction, or a pitch direction. In some exemplary embodiments, the gimbal support is a three-axis gimbal support, and the photographing apparatus  20  is a three-axis gimbal camera. The three-axis gimbal support includes a yaw shaft assembly  23  connected to the mounting portion  27 , a roll shaft assembly  24  movably connected to the yaw shaft assembly  23 , and a pitch shaft assembly  25  movably connected to the roll shaft assembly  24 . The photographing element  22  is mounted on the pitch shaft assembly  25 . The yaw shaft assembly  23  drives the photographing apparatus  20  to rotate in the yaw direction. Certainly, in other examples, the gimbal support may alternatively be a two-axis gimbal, a four-axis gimbal, or the like. This may be specifically selected as needed. When the gimbal support is a two-axis gimbal, the gimbal support may include a roll shaft assembly and a pitch shaft assembly. The mounting portion  27  may be disposed on one end of a connecting arm connected to the roll shaft assembly. The yaw shaft assembly may be disposed in the handle. The yaw shaft assembly drives the adapter ring  15  and the photographing apparatus  20  to rotate together in the yaw direction. 
     Referring to  FIG. 8 , in some exemplary embodiments, the handle  10  may be provided with an adapter member  30  for coupling to a mobile device  90  (such as a mobile phone), and the adapter member  30  is detachably connected to the handle  10 . The adapter member  30  protrudes from a side portion of the handle to connect to the mobile device  90 . After the adapter member  30  is connected to the mobile device  90 , the handheld gimbal  100  is connected to the adapter member  30  to support at an end portion of the mobile device  90 . 
     The handle  10  is provided with the adapter member  30  for connecting to the mobile device  90 , then the handle  10  and the mobile device  90  are connected to each other, and the handle  10  may serve as a base of the mobile device  90 , so that a user can pick up the handheld gimbal  100  by holding the other end of the mobile device  90 . The connection is easy and convenient, and the product is aesthetic. In addition, after the handle  10  is coupled to the mobile device  90  through the adapter member  30 , communication between the handheld gimbal  100  and the mobile device  90  may be implemented, and the photographing apparatus  20  and the mobile device  90  may transmit data to each other, thereby achieving an appropriate layout and facilitating usage. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the length of the handle  10  may be shorter than the length and the width of the mobile device  90 , so as to achieve a compact size. In this way, after the handheld gimbal  100  is connected to the mobile device  90  via the adapter member  30 , the handle  10  may be used to support an end portion of the mobile device  90  to become a base of the mobile device  90 . A user may pick up the handheld gimbal  100  by holding the other end of the mobile device  90 . The connection is easy and convenient, and the product is aesthetic. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the adapter member  30  may be detachably connected to the handle  10 , that is, mechanical connection or detachment may be implemented between the adapter member  30  and the handle  10 . Further, referring to  FIG. 8 , the adapter member  30  may be provided with an electrical contact portion  31 , and the handle  10  is provided with an electrical contact engagement portion  12  engaged with the electrical contact portion  31 . 
     In this case, when the handheld gimbal  100  does not need to be connected to the mobile device  90 , the adapter member  30  may be detached from the handle  10 . When the handheld gimbal  100  needs to be connected to the mobile device  90 , the adapter member  30  is mounted on the handle  10 , to complete mechanical connection between the adapter member  30  and the handle  10 . In addition, the electrical connection between the adapter member  30  and the handle  10  is ensured through the connection between the electrical contact portion  31  and the electrical contact engagement portion  12 , so that the photographing apparatus  20  and the mobile device  90  can transmit data to each other through the adapter member  30 . 
     In some exemplary embodiments, a side portion of the handle  10  is provided with an accommodation slot  11 , and the adapter member  30  is slidably clamped in the accommodation slot  11 . After the adapter member  30  is mounted in the accommodation slot  11 , the adapter member  30  partially protrudes from the accommodation slot  11 , and a part of the adapter member  30  protruding from the accommodation slot  11  is used for connection to the mobile device  90 . 
     With reference to  FIG. 9  and  FIG. 10 , in some exemplary embodiments, the adapter member  30  includes an adapter portion  32  and an adapter head  33  disposed on the adapter portion  32 , and an end portion of the adapter head  33  is provided with an electrical connection portion  36  for electrically connecting to the mobile device  90 . When the adapter member  30  is inserted into the accommodation slot  11  from the adapter portion  32 , the adapter head  33  protrudes from the accommodation slot  11 , for connecting to the mobile device  90 . Referring to  FIG. 11 , after the mobile device  90  is connected to the adapter head  33  of the adapter member  30 , the adapter head  33  is inserted into the mobile device  90 , to implement a mechanical connection between the adapter member  30  and the mobile device  90 . The electrical connection between the adapter member  30  and the mobile device  90  is implemented through a connection of an internal electrical contact structure between the electrical connection portion  36  and the mobile device  90 . 
     Further, referring to  FIG. 12 , when the adapter member  30  is inserted into the accommodation slot  11  from the adapter head  33 , the adapter portion  32  is flush with the accommodation slot  11 , and then the adapter member  30  is accommodated in the accommodation slot  11  of the handle  10 . 
     Therefore, when the handheld gimbal  100  needs to be connected to the mobile device  90 , the adapter member  30  may be inserted into the accommodation slot  11  from the adapter portion  32 , so that the adapter head  33  protrudes from the accommodation slot  11 , and the mobile device  90  and the handle  10  are connected to each other, as shown in  FIG. 11 . After the mobile device  90  is used, or when the mobile device  90  needs to be unplugged, the adapter member  30  may be taken out of the accommodation slot  11  of the handle  10 , and then inserted into the accommodation slot  11  from the adapter head  33  in reverse, so that the adapter member  30  can be stored in the handle  10 . The adapter member  30  is flush with the accommodation slot  11  of the handle  10  without affecting an appearance structure of the handle  10 . In addition, storage of the adapter member  30  in the handle  10  further facilitates carrying. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the accommodation slot  11  includes a first accommodation portion  111  and a second accommodation portion  112 , the first accommodation portion  111  is located on an outer side of the second accommodation portion  112 , and the second accommodation portion  112  matches the adapter head  33  of the adapter member  30 . 
     When the adapter member  30  is inserted into the accommodation slot  11  from the adapter portion  32 , the adapter portion  32  is located inside the first accommodation portion  111  and abuts against a side wall of the second accommodation portion  112 . The adapter head  33  protrudes from the first accommodation portion  111 , to facilitate connection of the mobile device  90 . 
     When the adapter member  30  is inserted into the accommodation slot  11  from the adapter head  33 , the adapter portion  32  is located inside the first accommodation portion  111  and abuts against the side wall of the second accommodation portion  112 , and the adapter head  33  is located inside the second accommodation portion  112 , so that the adapter member  30  is stored in the accommodation slot  11  of the handle  10 . 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the depth of the first accommodation portion  111  matches the thickness of the adapter portion  32 , so as to ensure that a surface of the adapter member  30  is flush with a surface of the handle  10  after the adapter member  30  is clamped in the accommodation slot  11 . In this way, after the adapter member  30  is stored in the handle  10 , it is ensured that the surface of the handle  10  is flat. 
     In the examples shown in the figures, the accommodation slot  11  is formed semi-open on one side surface of the handle  10 , thereby making it easier for the adapter member  30  to be slidably clamped in the accommodation slot  11 . Certainly, in other examples, the adapter member  30  may alternatively be detachably connected to the accommodation slot  11  of the handle  10  through a snap connection, a plug-in connection, or in other manners. When the adapter member  30  is detachably connected to the accommodation slot  11  of the handle  10  through a snap connection, a plug-in connection, or in other manners, the accommodation slot  11  may alternatively be formed in the middle of the side surface of the handle  10 , so that an internal structure of the entire accommodation slot  11  can be hidden inside the handle  10 , thereby making the appearance of the handle  10  more desirable. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, a side wall of the first accommodation portion  111  is provided with a guide groove  16  formed inwardly recessed, and a side portion of the adapter portion  32  of the adapter member  30  is provided with a guide portion  34  engaged with the guide groove  16 . Through the engagement between the guide portion  34  and the guide groove  16 , the adapter member  30  may be guided to be slidably clamped in the accommodation slot  11 . In addition, the guide groove  16  is formed inwardly recessed from the side wall of the first accommodation portion  111 , so that after the adapter member  30  is clamped in the accommodation slot  11 , the guide groove  16  can further prevent the guide portion  34  from moving along a depth direction of the accommodation slot  11 , thereby limiting the adapter member  30 . 
     Further, with reference to  FIG. 1 ,  FIG. 2 , and  FIG. 8 , one of the accommodation slot  11  and the adapter member  30  is provided with a positioning pin  17 , and the other one of the accommodation slot  11  and the adapter member  30  is provided with a positioning slot  35  engaged with the positioning pin  17 . In some exemplary embodiments, a bottom portion of the adapter portion  32  of the adapter member  30  is provided with a positioning slot  35 . The positioning pin  17  may be an elastic member that can expand and contract along the depth direction of the accommodation slot  11 . A bottom portion of the first accommodation portion  111  of the accommodation slot  11  may be provided with an accommodation space. The positioning pin  17  is disposed in the accommodation space. An end portion of the positioning pin  17  is of a tapered structure or a spherical structure with a slope and protrudes from a surface of the bottom portion of the first accommodation portion  111 . 
     In this case, in a process in which the adapter member  30  is clamped in the accommodation slot  11 , when the adapter member  30  comes into contact with the positioning pin  17 , the part of the positioning pin  17  protruding from the surface of the bottom portion of the first accommodation portion  111  may be compressed to retract into the accommodation space. After the adapter member  30  moves in position, the position of the positioning slot  35  corresponds to that of the positioning pin  17 . In this case, the positioning pin  17  extends to protrude from the surface of the bottom portion of the first accommodation portion  111  again and is clamped in the positioning slot  35 , so that the adapter member  30  can be prevented from further moving along a length direction of the accommodation slot  11 , thereby further providing a limiting function for the adapter member  30 . 
     With reference to  FIG. 1 ,  FIG. 2 , and  FIG. 8 , in some exemplary embodiments, the bottom portion of the adapter portion  32  of the adapter member  30  is provided with an electrical contact portion  31 , and the bottom portion of the first accommodation portion  111  of the accommodation slot  11  is provided with an electrical contact engagement portion  12  to engage with the electrical contact portion  31 . 
     In some exemplary embodiments, the electrical contact portion  31  may be electrically connected to the electrical contact engagement portion  12  via the contacts. For example, the electrical contact portion  31  may be selectively a telescopic probe, an electrical plug-in interface, or an electrical contact. Certainly, in other examples, the electrical contact portion  31  may be electrically connected to the electrical contact engagement portion  12  through a direct surface-to-surface contact method.
