[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that the relative position terms used in the following description, such as "front", "back", "left", "right", "up", and "down", are based on the orientation shown in each figure and the normal use orientation.

[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present invention provides an embodiment of an embedded electronic device that can eliminate obstructions, suitable for embedding in the ground next to roadside parking spaces, for photographing car license plates and cooperating with a control system (not shown) for time-based charging.

[0021] The embedded electronic device capable of removing obstructions includes a housing unit 1, a top cover 2, a camera unit 4, a flow guiding unit 5, and a gas supply unit 6.

[0022] The housing unit 1 includes a housing base 11, a surrounding wall 12, a bottom wall 13, and a pipe fitting 14.

[0023] See Figures 2 to 4 The housing 11 has a base wall 111, a peripheral wall 112 that is C-shaped and connected to the upper side of the base wall 111 and has two facing ends 113, two fan walls 114 that extend radially from the ends 113 toward the center of the base wall 111, a housing cover 115 that is connected to the upper side of the base wall 111 and has a transparent window 116, and an annular seat 117 that is fitted around the outer periphery of the peripheral wall 112.

[0024] The base wall 111 is connected to the top side of the surrounding wall 12, which extends downward from the base wall 111 of the housing 11 and surrounds a first axis L1.

[0025] See Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The bottom wall 13 connects to the bottom side of the surrounding wall 12 and defines an accommodating space 15 with the base wall 111 of the housing 11 and the surrounding wall 12.

[0026] The tube 14 is connected between the housing 11 and the bottom wall 13 and is located in the accommodating space 15, and the tube 14 defines a channel 141 around the first axis L1.

[0027] The surrounding wall 12 is detachably mounted on the base wall 111, and the pipe 14 is connected between the base wall 111 and the bottom wall 13 and integrally extends downward from the base wall 111 and partially penetrates through the bottom wall 13.

[0028] The upper cover 2 covers the shell seat 11 and cooperates with the shell seat 11 to define a shooting space 3 which communicates with the passage 141 and is partially exposed on the ground. In the embodiment, the upper cover 2 is detachably mounted on the ring seat 117 and cooperates with the base wall 111 and the fan wall 114 to define the shooting space 3. The shooting space 3 includes an opening 31 which is formed in the upper cover 2 and is fan-shaped and exposed on the ground.

[0029] In other variations of the embodiment, the shell seat 11, the pipe 14, the surrounding wall 12 and the bottom wall 13 can also be combined in other connection manners to define the accommodating space 15 and the shooting space 3, and the scope of the application should not be limited by the structure of the embodiment.

[0030] The camera unit 4 is arranged in the accommodating space 15 and includes a lens 41 which faces the shooting space 3 for shooting through the window 116 and is covered by the shell cover 115. Two opposite sides of the window 116 respectively face the lens 41 and the shooting space 3.

[0031] The flow guide unit 5 is arranged below the pipe 14 and includes a connecting pipe 51 which is connected to and sleeved on the lower side of the pipe 14 and surrounds the first axis L1, and a side pipe 52 which is connected to the connecting pipe 51 and surrounds a second axis L2 which is oblique to the first axis L1. The connecting pipe 51 and the side pipe 52 jointly define a guide channel 53. The guide channel 53 includes a flow guide channel 531 which is defined by the connecting pipe 51 and communicates with the passage 141, and an air channel 532 which is defined by the side pipe 52 and communicates with the flow guide channel 531.

[0032] The flow guide channel 531 can be arranged to communicate with a drainage system (not shown) so that rainwater or road sewage flowing into the shooting space 3 can flow to the drainage system through the passage 141 and the flow guide channel 531.

[0033] The air supply unit 6 is disposed on the guide unit 5. The air supply unit 6 is disposed on the side pipe 52 opposite to the connecting pipe 51, and the air duct 532 extends from the air supply unit 6 to the guide channel 531 along the second axis L2, so that the air supply unit 6 can output air to the shooting space 3 through the air duct 532, the guide channel 531 and the passage 141. Since the side pipe 52 is obliquely intersected with the connecting pipe 51, when rainwater or sewage passes through the guide channel 531, it will not flow to the air duct 532, and dirt such as sewage and dust will not directly flush the air supply unit 6 or accumulate in the air duct 532, so as to avoid the problems of malfunction of the air supply unit 6 or obstruction of air supply airflow. In the embodiment, the air supply unit 6 is a fan, which is set to output air at a fixed time, or is set to output air when the camera unit 4 detects an obstruction, but can also be set to different air supply modes according to requirements, and is not limited thereto.

[0034] In summary, the buried electronic device of the application can output air to the shooting space 3 through the air duct 532, the guide channel 531 and the passage 141 by the air supply unit 6, so as to blow the fallen leaves or other obstructions falling into the shooting space 3 away from the shooting space 3, so that the camera unit 4 can always shoot the shooting space 3 clearly to identify the car license plate, so as to achieve the purpose of the application.

[0035] The above is only an embodiment of the application, and cannot limit the scope of the application. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and description of the application are still within the scope of the application.
