[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] See also Figure 1-4As shown, a solar monitoring device with a protective structure includes a bottom plate 11, a camera body 12, a protective shell 13, a moving block 16 and a driving assembly; the camera body 12 is fixedly connected to the top side of the bottom plate 11; a pair of slide grooves are symmetrically provided on both sides of the bottom plate 11; the bottom of the protective shell 13 is arranged in the slide groove; a connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the protective shell 13; a rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 14; a groove is provided on the top of the moving block 16; the rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected in the groove; the driving assembly is arranged at the bottom of the bottom plate 11; the driving assembly includes a fixed shell 21 and a wire Rod 23; a fixed shell 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the bottom plate 11; a motor 22 is fixedly connected inside the fixed shell 21; a pair of screw rods 23 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed shell 21; the screw rod 23 passes through the wall of the fixed shell 21 and is connected to it in a rotation manner; a first gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 22; a second gear is fixedly connected to the end of the screw rod 23; the first gear and the second gear are meshed with each other; the screw rod 23 passes through the moving block 16 and is connected to it through a screw thread pair; a pair of guide rods 24 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed shell 21; the guide rods 24 pass through the moving block 16 and are slidably connected to it.

[0026] When in use, the motor 22 drives the first gear and the second gear to rotate, thereby driving the two screw rods 23 to rotate. When the screw rods 23 rotate, they will drive the two moving blocks 16 to move. By controlling the rotation direction of the motor 22, the two moving blocks 16 are moved closer to or away from each other, thereby driving the two fixed shells 21 to close or open, and the bottom of the protective shell 13 moves in the groove. When encountering heavy rain and bad weather, the motor 22 is controlled to drive the two protective shells 13 to close, so as to cover the camera body 12 inside for protection, thereby reducing the damage of the camera body 12 in bad weather. By setting the guide rod 24, the moving block 16 can be supported, thereby supporting the protective shell 13 and sharing the pressure on the screw rod 23.

[0027] The end of the rotating shaft 15 passes through the side wall of the groove, and the end of the rotating shaft 15 located outside the groove is fixedly connected to the first transmission gear; the connecting rod 14 is rotatably connected to a fixed shaft 32; the fixed shaft 32 is fixedly connected to a second transmission gear 33; the bottom side of the base plate 11 is fixedly connected to a rack 31; the second transmission gear 33 is respectively meshed with the rack 31 and the first transmission gear; a fixing unit is arranged in the moving block 16.

[0028] During use, when the moving block 16 is separated, after the moving block 16 moves a certain distance, the second transmission gear 33 and the rack 31 engage, and then the rack 31 causes the first transmission gear to rotate, and then the second transmission gear 33 drives the first transmission gear and the rotating shaft 15 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the protective shell 13 is placed flat, thereby reducing the shielding of sunlight by the protective shell 13 and increasing the area of ​​the camera body exposed to sunlight, so that the camera body 12 can be dried more fully and reduce damage caused by moisture. When the protective shell 13 is closed, the rotating shaft 15 will be driven by the rack 31 to rotate and reset, so that the protective shell 13 is in a vertical state.

[0029] The fixing unit includes a snap rod 41; a pair of sliding holes are opened in the wall of the moving block 16; the snap rod 41 is slidably connected in the sliding hole; a group of slots 42 are opened on the rotating shaft 15; the top end of the snap rod 41 is inserted into the slot 42; a first spring is fixedly connected between the snap rod 41 and the side wall of the sliding hole.

[0030] During use, when the rotating shaft 15 rotates, it squeezes the snap rod 41, causing the top end of the snap rod 41 to slide out of the slot 42. Then the rotating shaft 15 continues to rotate, and the top end of the snap rod 41 is inserted into another slot 42, thereby fixing the rotating shaft 15 and making it difficult for the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, thereby reducing the rotation of the protective shell 13 after the first transmission gear and the rack 31 are separated.

[0031] A glass plate 51 is fixedly connected to the side of the protective shell 13 ; a fixing rod 52 is provided on the inner side wall of the protective shell 13 close to the glass plate 51 ; a cleaning cloth 53 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing rod 52 close to the camera body 12 .

[0032] When in use, the glass plate 51 corresponds to the lens position of the camera body 12, and then the glass plate 51 is used to reduce the impact on the shooting of the camera body 12. When the protective shells 13 are close to each other, the cleaning cloth 53 on the inner wall of the protective shell 13 fits with the lens of the camera body 12, and the lens can be cleaned by the cleaning cloth 53, thereby reducing the dust and stains adhered to its surface, and reducing the impact of dust and stains on the monitoring screen.

[0033] A sliding rod 62 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed rod 52 close to the inner wall of the protective shell 13; a sliding groove is opened at a position corresponding to the inner wall of the protective shell 13 and the sliding rod 62; the sliding rod 62 is inserted into the sliding groove and is slidably connected thereto; a pair of second springs are fixedly connected between the sliding rod 62 and the side wall of the sliding groove; a rubber wheel 61 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the protective shell 13; the rubber wheel 61 is arranged to be inclined.

[0034] During use, the protective shell 13 is closed, and then the rubber wheel 61 will contact the side wall of the camera body 12. Then when the protective shell 13 moves, the rubber wheel 61 will rotate. During the rotation, since the rubber wheel 61 is tilted, the position of the lowest point and the highest point will be constantly switched during rotation, thereby pushing the fixing rod 52 and the cleaning cloth 53 to move up and down, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning cloth 53.

[0035] A water guide rod 71 is fixedly connected to the top side of the protective shell 13; the cross section of the water guide rod 71 is triangular; a pair of rubber rings 72 are fixedly connected to the sides of the protective shells 13 that are close to each other; the rubber rings 72 are designed in a U-shaped structure.

[0036] After the protective shell 13 is closed, the rubber ring 72 will fit together to seal the connection of the protective shell 13, thereby reducing the infiltration of rainwater from the connection of the protective shell 13 and improving the overall waterproof effect of the device. By providing a water guide rod 71, water can be blocked and water accumulation at the connection of the protective shell 13 can be reduced.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] See also Figure 5 As shown, compared with Example 1, as another embodiment of the present invention, the protective shell 13 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 81 on the rear side; the connecting block 81 is fixedly connected to a piston cylinder 82 on the side; a piston rod 83 is slidably connected in the piston cylinder 82; the piston cylinder 82 is inclined; the bottom end of the piston rod 83 is fixedly connected to a support block; an air bag 84 is fixedly connected between the moving block 16 and the fixed shell 21; the air bag 84 and the rodless cavity of the piston cylinder 82 are connected to each other through a hose.

[0039] During use, the two protective shells 13 are closed. During the closing process, the airbag 84 will be squeezed, and then the gas in the airbag 84 enters the piston cylinder 82 through the hose, so that the piston rod 83 is extended, and then the support block at the bottom contacts the top side of the bottom plate 11, thereby supporting and fixing the protective shell 13. In severe weather such as heavy rain, it is generally accompanied by strong winds, so the protective shell 13 can be reinforced to reduce the rotation of the protective shell 13, thereby improving the sealing of the connection of the protective shell 13.

[0040] Working principle: when in use, the motor 22 drives the first gear and the second gear to rotate, thereby driving the two screw rods 23 to rotate. When the screw rods 23 rotate, they will drive the two moving blocks 16 to move. By controlling the rotation direction of the motor 22, the two moving blocks 16 are moved closer to or away from each other, thereby driving the two fixed shells 21 to close or open, and the bottom of the protective shell 13 moves in the groove. When encountering heavy rain and bad weather, the motor 22 is controlled to drive the two protective shells 13 to close, so as to cover the camera body 12 inside for protection, thereby reducing the damage of the camera body 12 in bad weather. By setting the guide rod 24, the moving block 16 can be supported, thereby supporting the protective shell 13 and sharing the bearing of the screw rod 23. When the moving block 16 is separated, after the moving block 16 moves a certain distance, the second transmission gear 33 and the rack 31 are meshed, and then the rack 31 rotates the first transmission gear, and then the second transmission gear 33 drives the first transmission gear and the rotating shaft 15 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the protective shell 13 is placed flat, thereby reducing the shielding of sunlight by the protective shell 13, increasing the area of ​​the camera body exposed to sunlight, so that the camera body 12 can be dried more fully and reduce damage caused by moisture. When the protective shell 13 is closed, the rotating shaft 15 is driven by the rack 31 to rotate and reset, so that the protective shell 13 is in a vertical state. When the rotating shaft 15 rotates, it squeezes the buckle rod 41, so that the top of the buckle rod 41 slides out of the slot 42. After that, the shaft 15 continues to rotate, and the top end of the buckle rod 41 is inserted into another slot 42 to fix the shaft 15, so that the shaft 15 is not easy to rotate, thereby reducing the first transmission gear and the rack 31. After the separation, the protective shell 13 rotates. When in use, the glass plate 51 corresponds to the lens position of the camera body 12, and then the glass plate 51 is used to reduce the impact on the shooting of the camera body 12. When the protective shells 13 are close to each other, the cleaning cloth 53 on the inner wall of the protective shell 13 fits with the lens of the camera body 12, and the lens can be cleaned by the cleaning cloth 53, thereby reducing the dust and stains adhering to its surface, and reducing the impact of dust and stains on the monitoring picture. The protective shell 13 is closed, and then the rubber wheel 61 will be with the camera body When the protective shell 13 moves, the rubber wheel 61 will rotate with the rubber. During the rotation, since the rubber wheel 61 is tilted, the lowest and highest positions of the rubber wheel 61 will be constantly exchanged during the rotation, thereby pushing the fixing rod 52 and the cleaning cloth 53 to move up and down, so as to improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning cloth 53. After the protective shell 13 is closed, the rubber ring 72 will fit together to seal the connection of the protective shell 13, thereby reducing the infiltration of rainwater from the connection of the protective shell 13 and improving the overall waterproof effect of the device. By setting the water guide rod 71, water can be blocked to reduce the accumulation of water at the connection of the protective shell 13. The two protective shells 13 are closed, and during the closing process, the airbag 84 will be squeezed.Then the gas in the airbag 84 enters the piston cylinder 82 through the hose, so that the piston rod 83 extends, and then the support block at the bottom contacts the top side of the bottom plate 11, thereby supporting and fixing the protective shell 13. In severe weather such as heavy rain, which is generally accompanied by strong winds, the protective shell 13 can be reinforced to reduce the rotation of the protective shell 13, thereby improving the sealing of the connection of the protective shell 13.
