Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of municipal road equipment technology, and in particular to a municipal road monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] To strengthen road safety management, existing municipal roads are equipped with surveillance equipment. However, the lack of cleaning and maintenance facilities for these devices leads to dust, dirt, and contaminants accumulating on their surfaces, affecting the clarity of the lenses and the monitoring effect. Especially during the construction of municipal equipment, the presence of nearby construction sites and vehicles significantly increases the likelihood of contamination. Over time, the accumulation of dirt can obstruct the field of view or reduce image quality, thereby affecting the normal operation of the surveillance equipment, reducing the ability to respond promptly to traffic conditions, emergencies, and illegal activities, and even potentially causing the loss of crucial surveillance footage, posing a threat to urban management and safety. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the technical problem of the lack of maintenance organizations for existing municipal road monitoring equipment, this invention proposes a municipal road monitoring device.
[0004] This invention proposes a municipal road monitoring device, comprising a monitoring column, a camera mounted on the upper end of the monitoring column, a maintenance mechanism including a nozzle mounted on the surface of the monitoring column, a power column fixedly connected to the upper surface of the monitoring column, a hinge seat fixedly connected to the outer surface of the power column, and the surface of the hinge seat being fixedly connected to the surface of the nozzle by bolts; a drive mechanism including a drive motor is installed inside the power column, and the outer surface of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power column.
[0005] Preferably, the lower end of the power column is rotatably connected to a lead screw via a bearing, the lower end of the lead screw is located inside the monitoring column, and a water storage bladder is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the monitoring column. The water storage bladder is made of polyurethane and is a hollow cylinder. The lower end of the lead screw is located inside the water storage bladder.
[0006] The above technical solution utilizes a water storage bladder to store rainwater, which facilitates subsequent rinsing of the camera for use.
[0007] Preferably, the lead screw is threaded with a compression ring, the outer side wall of the compression ring is provided with a limit groove, and the inner wall of the monitoring column is fixedly connected with a limit strip.
[0008] The above technical solution uses a limiting strip to impede the rotation of the extrusion ring, thereby facilitating the lifting and lowering of the extrusion ring under the action of the lead screw.
[0009] Preferably, the compression ring slides on the surface of the limiting strip via the limiting groove, and the compression ring is located above the water storage bladder.
[0010] The above technical solution utilizes a compression ring that moves up and down above the water storage bladder, thereby facilitating the compression of the water storage bladder by the falling compression ring.
[0011] Preferably, a water inlet pipe is slidably inserted into the surface of the extrusion ring, and a sleeve is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water inlet pipe. The lower end of the sleeve is fixedly connected to and communicates with the upper end of the water storage bladder, and an inner tube is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the sleeve.
[0012] The above technical solution utilizes the fact that the diameters of the inner tube and the plugging ball are both larger than the opening on the surface of the extrusion ring, thereby facilitating the extrusion ring to extrude the plugging ball and the inner tube when it falls.
[0013] Preferably, a thrust spring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inner tube, and a blocking ball is fixedly connected to the upper end of the thrust spring.
[0014] The above technical solution utilizes a thrust spring to push the blocking ball away from the opening surface of the inner tube, thereby facilitating the maintenance of unobstructed flow on the inner tube surface.
[0015] Preferably, a collection bucket is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the power column, the lower end of the collection bucket is fixedly connected to and communicates with the upper end of the water inlet pipe, a water delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water storage bladder, and the water inlet end of the nozzle at the end of the water delivery pipe is fixedly connected to and communicates with the nozzle.
[0016] The above technical solution uses a collection bucket to collect rainwater, which facilitates storage in a water storage bladder. A screen can also be installed on the upper surface of the collection bucket to prevent impurities from clogging the inlet pipe.
[0017] Preferably, a transmission mechanism is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power column, and the upper end of the lead screw is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor through the transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism is located below the drive motor. A reduction gearbox is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power column, and the input end of the reduction gearbox is connected to the output end of the transmission mechanism.
[0018] The above technical solution utilizes the power of the drive motor to transmit to the reduction gearbox and lead screw through the transmission mechanism, thereby facilitating the driving of the lead screw and rotating shaft. The transmission mechanism is a common combination of transmission belt and pulley, with an external housing added.
[0019] Preferably, the output end surface of the reduction gearbox is connected to a rotating shaft, the upper end of the rotating shaft is located above the power column, the upper end surface of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a collecting disk, the collecting disk is inclined, and the inner bottom wall of the collecting disk is fixedly connected to a solar panel.
[0020] The above technical solution utilizes solar panels to assist in rainwater absorption, thereby increasing rainwater collection efficiency. To prevent damage to the solar panel wiring, the controller is programmed to control the drive motor, ensuring that the motor can only drive the rotating shaft to rotate 180 degrees in both directions. The daily rotation of the drive motor is controlled according to the actual installation orientation, thus ensuring that the solar panel faces the sun and increasing its working efficiency.
[0021] Preferably, a guide tube is fixedly inserted into the lower surface of the collecting tray, and the lower end of the guide tube is located above the collecting hopper.
[0022] The above technical solution utilizes a rigid guide tube, while the other inlet pipe, water delivery pipe, sleeve, and inner pipe are made of soft rubber material, which facilitates the stretching of other pipes, and the lower end of the guide tube can be aligned with the top of the collection hopper.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. By installing a maintenance mechanism inside the monitoring pole, the nozzles in the maintenance mechanism are aimed at the surface of the camera's shooting end. Rainwater is collected through structures such as solar panels, and the collected rainwater is sprayed onto the camera surface through the nozzles to clean and maintain the camera surface. This makes the municipal road monitoring equipment easy to use for a long time.
[0024] 2. By setting a drive mechanism to drive the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the extrusion ring to extrude the surface of the water storage tank, the drive motor is used to decelerate the rotating shaft, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to rotate the solar panel, so that the solar panel can always be placed facing the sun, increasing the working efficiency of the solar panel, thus giving the drive mechanism multiple driving effects.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-7 A municipal road monitoring device includes a monitoring post 1, a camera 2 installed on the upper end of the monitoring post 1, a maintenance mechanism including a nozzle 3 installed on the surface of the monitoring post 1, a power post 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the monitoring post 1, a hinge seat 31 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the power post 4, and the surface of the hinge seat 31 fixedly connected to the surface of the nozzle 3 by bolts; a drive mechanism including a drive motor 5 is installed inside the power post 4, and the outer surface of the drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power post 4.
[0029] To compress the water storage bladder 33, a lead screw 32 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the power column 4 via a bearing. The lower end of the lead screw 32 is located inside the monitoring column 1. The water storage bladder 33 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the monitoring column 1. The water storage bladder 33 is made of polyurethane and is a hollow cylinder. The lower end of the lead screw 32 is located inside the water storage bladder 33. The water storage bladder 33 stores rainwater, facilitating subsequent rinsing of the camera 2. A compression ring 3 is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw 32. 4. A limiting groove is provided on the outer wall surface of the compression ring 34, and a limiting strip 35 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the monitoring column 1. The limiting strip 35 is used to hinder the rotation of the compression ring 34, so that the compression ring 34 can be raised and lowered under the action of the screw 32. The compression ring 34 slides on the surface of the limiting strip 35 through the limiting groove. The compression ring 34 is located above the water storage bladder 33. The compression ring 34 is raised and lowered above the water storage bladder 33, so that the water storage bladder 33 can be squeezed by the falling of the compression ring 34.
[0030] To control the spraying of the water reservoir 33, a water inlet pipe 36 is slidably inserted into the surface of the compression ring 34. A sleeve 37 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water inlet pipe 36. The lower end of the sleeve 37 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the upper end of the water reservoir 33. An inner tube 38 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the sleeve 37. The diameters of the inner tube 38 and the blocking ball 310 are both larger than the opening on the surface of the compression ring 34, thus facilitating the compression of the blocking ball 310 and the inner tube 38 when the compression ring 34 falls. A thrust spring 39 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inner tube 38, and the blocking ball 310 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the thrust spring 39. The spring utilizes the thrust... The force spring 39 pushes the blocking ball 310 away from the opening surface of the inner tube 38, thereby facilitating the keeping of the inner tube 38 surface unobstructed. The upper surface of the power column 4 is fixedly connected to the collection hopper 311, and the lower end of the collection hopper 311 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the upper end of the water inlet pipe 36. The upper surface of the water storage bladder 33 is fixedly connected to the water delivery pipe 312, and the water inlet end of the nozzle 3 at the end of the water delivery pipe 312 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the water inlet. The collection hopper 311 is used to collect rainwater, thereby facilitating its storage in the water storage bladder 33. A screen can also be installed on the upper surface of the collection hopper 311 to prevent impurities from clogging the water inlet pipe 36.
[0031] By installing a maintenance mechanism inside the monitoring column 1, the nozzle 3 in the maintenance mechanism is aimed at the shooting end surface of the camera 2, and rainwater is collected through structures such as solar panels 55. The collected rainwater is then sprayed onto the surface of the camera 2 through the nozzle 3 to clean and maintain the surface of the camera 2, thus making the municipal road monitoring equipment easy to use for a long time.
[0032] To drive the lead screw 32, a transmission mechanism 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power column 4. The upper end of the lead screw 32 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 5 via the transmission mechanism 51. The transmission mechanism 51 is located below the drive motor 5. A reduction gearbox 52 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power column 4. The input end of the reduction gearbox 52 is connected to the output end of the transmission mechanism 51. The power of the drive motor 5 is transmitted to the reduction gearbox 52 and the lead screw 32 through the transmission mechanism 51, thereby facilitating the driving of the lead screw 32 and the rotating shaft 53. The transmission mechanism 51 is a common combination of a transmission belt and pulley, with an external housing. The output end surface of the reduction gearbox 52 is connected to the rotating shaft 53. The upper end of the rotating shaft 53 is located above the power column 4. A collection tray 54 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the rotating shaft 53. The collection tray 54 is inclined. A solar panel 55 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the collection tray 4. The solar panel helps to absorb rainwater, thereby increasing the rainwater collection efficiency. In order to avoid damage to the wiring of the solar panel 55, the drive motor 5 is programmed by the controller so that the control motor can only drive the rotating shaft 53 to rotate 180 degrees in both directions. The rotation of the drive motor 5 is controlled according to the actual installation position, so that the solar panel 55 faces the sun and increases the working efficiency of the solar panel 55. A guide tube 56 is fixedly inserted into the lower surface of the collection tray 54. The lower end of the guide tube 56 is located above the collection hopper 311. Except for the guide tube 56, which is a rigid pipe, the other water inlet pipe 36, water delivery pipe 312, sleeve 37 and inner tube 38 are all made of soft rubber material, which makes it easy to stretch the other pipes. The lower end of the guide tube 56 can be aligned with the upper part of the collection hopper 311.
[0033] By setting a drive mechanism to drive the lead screw 32 to rotate, and then drive the extrusion ring 34 to extrude the surface of the water storage bladder 33, the drive motor 5 is used to decelerate the rotating shaft 53, and then drive the rotating shaft 53 to rotate the solar panel 55, so that the solar panel 55 can always be placed facing the sun, increasing the working efficiency of the solar panel 55, thus giving the drive mechanism multiple driving effects.
[0034] Working principle: After installation, rainwater and dew accumulate on the surface of the solar panel 55 and slide off, and are collected by the collection tray 54. They flow into the collection hopper 311 through the guide pipe 56, and then enter the water storage bladder 33 through the water inlet pipe 36 and the inner pipe 38 in sequence.
[0035] In use, the solar panel 55 rotates intermittently with the sun's shift. The drive motor 5 drives the rotating shaft 53 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 51 and the reduction gearbox 52. The rotating shaft 53 drives the solar panel 55 to rotate. At the same time, the transmission mechanism 51 drives the lead screw 32 to rotate. The compression ring 34 descends under the action of the lead screw 32 and the limiting strip 35. After the compression ring 34 descends, it squeezes the sleeve 37 and the blocking ball 310 downwards. The sleeve 37 deforms, and the blocking ball 310 squeezes the thrust spring 39 to deform and block the surface of the inner tube 38. As the compression ring 34 descends, both the inner tube 38 and the sleeve 37 are compressed and deformed. The inner tube 38 is completely blocked. The water storage bladder 33 is squeezed by the compression ring 34. The water in the water storage bladder 33 is sprayed out from the nozzle 3 through the water supply pipe 312 and washes the surface of the camera 2.
[0036] At the end of the day, the drive motor 5 reverses its direction, the rotating shaft 53 drives the solar panel 55 to rotate and reset, the compression ring 34 rises and resets under the action of the lead screw 32, the water storage bladder 33, the sleeve 37 and the inner tube 38 extend and reset, and the thrust spring 39 pushes the blocking ball 310 away from the inner tube 38.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
