The cleaning auxiliary component includes a substrate and a scraper disposed on the substrate. The cleaning component swings to cause the elastic water-absorbing component to pass through the scraper and abut against the scraper to squeeze out the water inside the elastic water-absorbing component.

[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning aid also includes a collection groove disposed on the substrate, the collection groove being located on the side of the scraper away from the panel, and a preset gap being between the collection groove and the elastic absorbent.

[0014] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the side of the squeegee facing the camera area, the rear end of the squeegee is connected to the substrate, the front end of the squeegee is provided with an arc-shaped transition convex surface, and an arc-shaped transition surface is provided at the connection between the arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped transition convex surface.

[0015] Furthermore, the cleaning component also includes a rebound member disposed on the swing arm. The rebound member includes a connecting rod movably disposed on the swing arm along the inward and outward directions of the camera device panel, a top block connected to the connecting rod, and an elastic member sleeved on the connecting rod. The top block is disposed inside the elastic absorbent component. The first end of the elastic member is connected to the swing arm, and the second end of the elastic member is connected to the top block. When the elastic absorbent component comes into contact with the scraper, the elastic member is compressed.

[0016] Furthermore, the inlet of the first flexible conduit is located on the bottom wall of the upper collection box and covered with a filter cover. The cleaning device also includes a drive shaft and an inlet cleaning component. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the bracket to drive the cleaning component to swing. The inlet cleaning component includes a support frame fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the upper collection box, a brush rotatably mounted on the support frame, and a transmission structure connecting the brush and the drive shaft. The brush contacts and engages with the filter cover, and the drive shaft rotates to drive the brush to rotate through the transmission structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the transmission structure includes a transmission rod, a connecting rope, a steering pulley, a torsion spring, and a mounting cover. The transmission rod is rotatably mounted on the support frame. The first end of the transmission rod is connected to the brush. The first end of the connecting rope is connected to the transmission rod. The mounting cover is fixed on the support frame and covers the outside of the second end of the transmission rod. The torsion spring is located inside the mounting cover. The first end of the torsion spring is connected to the inner wall of the mounting cover, and the second end of the torsion spring is connected to the second end of the transmission rod. The steering pulley is mounted on the support frame. The connecting rope slides with the steering pulley, and the second end of the connecting rope is wound around the drive shaft.

[0018] According to the technical solution of this invention, the camera device includes a camera and a cleaning device disposed on the camera and used to clean the panel of the camera. The cleaning device includes: a bracket, an upper collection box, a cleaning mechanism, a first flexible conduit, and a water-stop clamp. The bracket is used to connect to the camera. The upper collection box is disposed on the bracket and located above the camera. The cleaning mechanism includes a swing rod swayably disposed on the bracket and a cleaning component disposed between the swing rod and the panel. The swing rod swings to make the cleaning component contact and engage with the panel. The swing rod has a water-guiding cavity and a communication port connecting the water-guiding cavity and the cleaning component. The cleaning mechanism has an initial position that avoids the camera area of ​​the camera. The first flexible conduit connects the upper collection box and the water-guiding cavity. The water-stop clamp includes a first clamp body and a second clamp body. The first clamp body is fixedly disposed on the bracket, and the second clamp body is swayably disposed on the bracket. The first flexible conduit is disposed between the first and second clamp bodies, and the swing rod swings and engages with the second clamp body to drive the second clamp body to swing. The second clamp has a closed position close to the first clamp to squeeze the first flexible conduit to disconnect, and a clearance position away from the first clamp to allow the first flexible conduit to remain open. When the cleaning mechanism is in its initial position, the second clamp is in the closed position. This allows the upper collection box to collect and hold liquid, which is then transported through the first flexible conduit to the water guiding chamber. The liquid in the water guiding chamber is then supplied to the cleaning component through a connecting port, allowing the cleaning component to apply liquid to the panel and clean impurities when the swing rod moves it. Since there is mud adhering to the panel, using liquid improves cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the second clamp can switch between the closed and clearance positions as the swing rod moves, adjusting the liquid supply to the panel via a water-stop clamp. When the cleaning mechanism is in its initial position, the second clamp is in the closed position, disconnecting the first flexible conduit and stopping the liquid supply to the cleaning component. In this way, when the cleaning structure is in the initial position before the panel is cleaned, the first flexible conduit stops supplying liquid to the cleaning component, reducing the possibility of liquid flowing from the cleaning component onto the panel and further improving the shooting effect. Therefore, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem of difficult cleaning of impurities on the panel of the camera equipment in related technologies, which affects the shooting effect.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the camera device includes a camera 1 and a cleaning device mounted on the camera 1 to clean its panel 101. In this embodiment, the cleaning device includes a bracket 10, an upper collection box 31, a cleaning mechanism 20, a first flexible conduit 33, and a water-stop clamp 40. The bracket 10 is used to connect to the camera 1. The upper collection box 31 is mounted on the bracket 10 and located above the camera 1. The cleaning mechanism 20 includes a swing rod 21 swayably mounted on the bracket 10 and a cleaning component 22 disposed between the swing rod 21 and the panel 101. The swing rod 21 swings to make the cleaning component 22 contact and engage with the panel 101. The swing rod 21 has a water-guiding cavity 23 and a communication port 24 connecting the water-guiding cavity 23 and the cleaning component 22. The cleaning mechanism 20 has an initial position that avoids the camera area of ​​the camera 1. The first flexible conduit 33 connects the upper collection box 31 and the water-guiding cavity 23. The water-stopping clamp 40 includes a first clamp body 41 and a second clamp body 42. The first clamp body 41 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 10, and the second clamp body 42 is swayably mounted on the bracket 10. A first flexible conduit 33 is disposed between the first clamp body 41 and the second clamp body 42. A swing rod 21 swings and abuts against the second clamp body 42 to drive the second clamp body 42 to swing. The second clamp body 42 has a closed position where it is close to the first clamp body 41 to squeeze the first flexible conduit 33 to a disconnected position, and a clearance position where it is far from the first clamp body 41 to allow the first flexible conduit 33 to conduct. When the cleaning mechanism 20 is in its initial position, the second clamp body 42 is in the closed position.

[0043] In this way, the upper liquid collection box 31 can collect and hold liquid. The liquid in the upper liquid collection box 31 is transported to the water guiding cavity 23 through the first flexible conduit 33. The liquid in the water guiding cavity 23 is then transported to the cleaning component 22 through the connecting port 24. When the swing rod 21 drives the cleaning component 22 to swing, the cleaning component 22 can apply liquid to the panel 101 to clean impurities on the panel 101. Since there is mud attached to the panel 101, the use of liquid by the cleaning component 22 when cleaning the panel 101 can improve the cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the second clamp 42 can switch between a closed position and a clearance position as the swing rod 21 swings, so as to adjust the liquid supply state of the cleaning component 22 to the panel 101 through the water stop clamp 40. When the cleaning mechanism 20 is in the initial position, the second clamp 42 is in the closed position, so that the first flexible conduit 33 is disconnected and the liquid supply to the cleaning component 22 is stopped. In this way, when the cleaning structure is in the initial position before cleaning the panel 101, the first flexible conduit 33 stops supplying liquid to the cleaning component 22, reducing the problem of liquid flowing from the cleaning component 22 onto the panel 101, and further improving the shooting effect. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of difficult cleaning of impurities on the panel of the camera device in related technologies, which affects the shooting effect.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the cleaning device also includes a mounting shaft 43 mounted on the bracket 10. One end of the first clamp 41 is fixedly sleeved on the mounting shaft 43, and the first end of the second clamp 42 is rotatably sleeved on the mounting shaft 43. The mounting shaft 43 facilitates the installation of the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42. The first clamp 41 is fixed on the mounting shaft 43, which allows the second clamp 42 to move closer to the first clamp 41 when it swings, so that the first flexible conduit 33 can be squeezed to break by the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42. The cleaning mechanism 20 swings to the initial position so that the swing rod 21 abuts against the second end of the second clamp 42 and drives the second clamp 42 to switch from the avoidance position to the closed position. In this way, when the cleaning structure returns to the initial position, the second clamp 42 can be driven to swing by the swing rod 21 to squeeze the first flexible conduit 33 to break.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 20 returns to its initial position after each cleaning of the panel 101. That is, when the cleaning structure stops cleaning the panel 101, the cleaning structure is always in its initial position and the second clamp 42 is always in its closed position.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second end of the second clamp 42 has an abutment slope 421 that engages with the swing rod 21. When the cleaning mechanism 20 swings to the initial position, the abutment slope 421 increases the contact area between the swing rod 21 and the second end of the second clamp 42, allowing the swing rod 21 to drive the second clamp 42 to swing more stably. The water-stop clamp 40 also includes a first water-stop protrusion 411 on the first clamp 41 and a second water-stop protrusion 422 on the second clamp 42. When the second clamp 42 is in the closed position, the first water-stop protrusion 411 and the second water-stop protrusion 422 squeeze the first flexible conduit 33 until it breaks. When the second clamp 42 is in the closed position, the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 squeeze the first flexible conduit 33. The first water-stop protrusion 411 and the second water-stop protrusion 422 facilitate squeezing the first flexible conduit 33 until it breaks, thus blocking the flow of liquid within the first flexible conduit 33.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first water-stopping protrusion 411 has a first arc surface and a second arc surface. When the second clamp 42 swings to the closed position, the apex of the first arc surface approaches the apex of the second arc surface, and clamps the first flexible conduit 33 between the apex of the first arc surface and the apex of the second arc surface, further facilitating the blocking of the liquid transport in the first flexible conduit 33.

[0048] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the end face of the second end of the second clamp is provided with an abutting slope that abuts against the swing rod. Alternatively, the water-stop clamp also includes a first water-stop protrusion provided on the first clamp and a second water-stop protrusion provided on the second clamp. When the second clamp is in the closed position, the first water-stop protrusion and the second water-stop protrusion squeeze the first flexible conduit until it breaks.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the bracket 10 includes a sunshade panel disposed on the outside of the camera device 1. The sunshade panel includes a top sunshade panel 11 and side sunshade panels 12 connected to both sides of the top sunshade panel 11. This reduces the probability of sunlight hitting the panel 101, thereby improving the shooting effect. The cleaning device also includes: a lower liquid collection box 32, a second flexible conduit 34, a flexible absorbent, and a squeezing member 50. The lower liquid collection box 32 is disposed on the bracket 10 and located below the camera device 1. The second flexible conduit 34 is located on one side of the side sunshade panel 12. The inlet of the second flexible conduit 34 communicates with the lower liquid collection box 32, and the outlet of the second flexible conduit 34 is disposed on the side wall of the upper liquid collection box 31. The flexible absorbent is disposed inside the second flexible conduit 34 and protrudes from the outlet of the second flexible conduit 34. The flexible absorbent can absorb the liquid in the lower liquid collection box 32. The squeezing member 50 is pivotally mounted on the bracket 10 and located on the side of the flexible absorbent member opposite to the sunshade side panel 12. The squeezing member 50 pivots to make the second flexible conduit 34 abut against the inner wall of the sunshade side panel 12 and squeeze the flexible absorbent member. In this way, the flexible absorbent member can absorb the liquid in the lower collection box 32 into the second flexible conduit 34. The squeezing member 50 pivots and squeezes the second flexible conduit 34 to transport the liquid absorbed by the flexible absorbent member in the second flexible conduit 34 through the outlet of the second flexible conduit 34 into the upper collection box 31. The flexible absorbent member protrudes from the outlet of the second flexible conduit 34 so that the liquid in the flexible absorbent member can be transported into the upper collection box 31. In this way, the liquid in the lower collection box 32 can be transported into the upper collection box 31, reducing the possibility of dry friction between the cleaning member 22 and the panel 101 due to prolonged lack of rain or the operator forgetting to add liquid to the upper collection box 31, protecting the panel 101 and further improving the shooting effect.

[0050] In this embodiment, both the cleaning component 22 and the flexible absorbent component are preferably sponges. Placing the sponge inside the second flexible conduit 34 allows it to absorb and guide water. Furthermore, due to its porous structure, the sponge can filter the liquid in the lower collection box 32, reducing the possibility of impurities entering the upper collection box 31 through the second flexible conduit 34.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the cleaning device also includes a drive shaft 61 rotatably mounted on the bracket 10. The drive shaft 61 drives the cleaning component 22 and the squeezing component 50 to swing. Thus, when the cleaning component 22 swings, the drive shaft 61 can simultaneously drive the squeezing component 50 to swing, simplifying the structure of the camera device, reducing the drive source, and facilitating manufacturing. The squeezing component 50 includes a connecting sleeve 51 sleeved on the drive shaft 61, a squeezing rod 52 connected to the connecting sleeve 51, and a roller 53 disposed at one end of the squeezing rod 52. The squeezing rod 52 swings to cause the roller 53 to squeeze the second flexible conduit 34 from bottom to top. This makes the swinging of the squeezing rod 52 smoother when the roller 53 squeezes the second flexible conduit 34 from bottom to top, improving the squeezing effect on the second flexible conduit 34 and increasing the amount of liquid transported from the second flexible conduit 34 into the upper collection box 31. Squeezing the second flexible conduit 34 from bottom to top facilitates the transport of liquid within the second flexible conduit 34 from bottom to top, and transports it to the upper collection box 31 through the flexible absorbent component.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the squeezing rod 52 includes a sleeve 521 connected to the connecting sleeve 51, a telescopic rod 522 telescopically disposed within the sleeve 521, and a spring disposed within the sleeve 521. The spring applies a force toward the outside of the sleeve 521 to the telescopic rod 522, and a roller 53 is disposed at one end of the telescopic rod 522. This makes the length of the squeezing rod 52 adjustable, further increasing the stroke of the roller 53 when squeezing the second flexible conduit 34 from bottom to top, improving the squeezing effect on the second flexible conduit 34, and increasing the amount of liquid transported by the second flexible conduit 34 into the upward collection box 31. In this embodiment, when the squeezing rod 52 swings upward, the roller 53 abuts against the sunshade side plate 12 through the second flexible conduit 34 and overcomes the spring force, causing the telescopic rod 522 to retract into the sleeve 521.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cleaning device also includes a transmission magnetic block 62 disposed between the drive shaft 61 and the connecting sleeve 51. The drive shaft 61 can magnetically engage with the transmission magnetic block 62, and the connecting sleeve 51 can magnetically engage with the transmission magnetic block 62. The drive shaft 61 rotates to drive the connecting sleeve 51 to rotate via the transmission magnetic block 62. Thus, when the weather is cold and the liquid inside the second flexible conduit 34 freezes, the roller 53 comes into contact with the frozen liquid, causing the squeezing rod 52 to swing to its limit position. At this point, because the drive shaft 61 and the connecting sleeve 51 are driven together by the transmission magnetic block 62, the drive shaft 61 and the connecting sleeve 51 can rotate relative to each other, reducing the risk of the squeezing rod 52 breaking due to continued swinging. Therefore, the transmission magnetic block 62 reduces the risk of the squeezing rod 52 breaking due to contact with the frozen liquid during swinging.

[0054] In this embodiment, there are multiple transmission magnetic blocks 62, which are arranged circumferentially between the drive shaft 61 and the connecting sleeve 51. The magnetic attraction between the transmission magnetic blocks 62 and the drive shaft 61 and the connecting sleeve 51 is such that the pressing rod 52 will not break.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cleaning component 22 includes an elastic absorbent component. The cleaning device also includes a cleaning auxiliary component 70 disposed on the camera device 1 and located on one side of the panel 101 of the camera device 1. The cleaning auxiliary component 70 includes a substrate 71 and a scraper 72 disposed on the substrate 71. The cleaning component 22 swings to allow the elastic absorbent component to pass through and abut against the scraper 72 to squeeze out the water inside the elastic absorbent component. The scraper 72 is provided so that when the swinging rod 21 drives the elastic absorbent component to swing, it can squeeze out the water containing impurities inside the elastic absorbent component, thereby cleaning the elastic absorbent component. This can reduce the problem that when the cleaning structure swings back to the initial position, the elastic absorbent component will continue to apply liquid containing impurities to the surface of the panel 101, affecting the shooting effect. It can also reduce the friction of dust and impurities on the surface of the elastic absorbent component against the panel 101 when the elastic absorbent component swings on the surface of the panel 101, reducing scratches caused to the panel 101.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cleaning aid 70 also includes a collection groove 73 disposed on the substrate 71, located on the side of the scraper 72 away from the panel 101. A preset gap exists between the collection groove 73 and the elastic absorbent member. Thus, when the elastic absorbent member passes the scraper 72, it can unfold within the collection groove 73, and the preset gap between the unfolded elastic absorbent member and the collection groove 73 allows solid impurities on the elastic absorbent member to be shaken off within the collection groove 73. The collection groove 73 facilitates the collection of solid impurities, reducing the possibility of solid impurities being bounced onto the camera device 1 due to the elastic force of the elastic absorbent member during resetting.

[0057] like Figure 7As shown, the scraper 72 has an arc-shaped groove 721 on the side facing the camera area. The arc-shaped groove 721 allows the scraper 72 to clean the elastic absorbent more thoroughly when it passes over the elastic absorbent, enabling liquid containing impurities to flow out along the concave part of the arc-shaped groove 721. The arc-shaped groove 721 also collects impurities scraped off the elastic absorbent, reducing the possibility of bringing impurities back onto the panel 101 when the elastic absorbent swings back to its initial position. The rear end of the scraper 72 is connected to the substrate 71, and the front end of the scraper 72 has an arc-shaped transition convex surface 722. This allows the elastic absorbent to abut against the arc-shaped transition convex surface 722 when it passes over it, further squeezing out the water inside. An arc-shaped transition surface 723 is provided at the connection between the arc-shaped groove 721 and the arc-shaped transition convex surface 722. The arc-shaped transition surface 723 reduces damage to the elastic absorbent at the connection between the arc-shaped groove 721 and the arc-shaped transition convex surface 722, thereby improving the service life of the elastic absorbent.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning component 22 also includes a spring-loaded component 80 disposed on the swing arm 21. The spring-loaded component 80 includes a connecting rod 81 movably disposed on the swing arm 21 in the inward and outward directions of the panel 101 of the camera device 1, a top block 82 connected to the connecting rod 81, and an elastic component 83 sleeved on the connecting rod 81. The top block 82 is disposed inside the elastic absorbent component. The first end of the elastic component 83 is connected to the swing arm 21, and the second end of the elastic component 83 is connected to the top block 82. When the elastic absorbent component abuts against the scraper 72, the elastic component 83 is compressed. The arrangement of the elastic component 83 facilitates the application of a force toward the panel 101 to the top block 82, so that the elastic absorbent component disposed outside the top block 82 can maintain contact with the panel 101. The arrangement of the connecting rod 81 can guide the extension and contraction of the spring, so that the top block 82 can move in the inward and outward directions of the panel 101 of the camera device 1. In this way, after the elastic absorbent component passes through the scraper 72, under the action of the spring and the top block 82, the elastic absorbent component can improve its reset speed, reduce the time of reset gap between the elastic absorbent component and the panel 101, and improve the cleaning effect of the elastic absorbent component on the panel 101.

[0059] In this embodiment, a guide arc surface is provided at the edge of the top block 82. When the elastic absorbent passes the scraper 72, the elastic absorbent is compressed, and the guide arc surface of the top block 82 cooperates with the scraper 72 to guide it, so that the top block 82 can move more smoothly along the inward and outward directions of the panel 101.

[0060] In this embodiment, the elastic absorbent is preferably a sponge. After passing through the scraper 72, the elastic absorbent is quickly reset and shaken by the rebound member 80, so as to shake off the impurities on the surface of the elastic absorbent into the collection tank 73.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, the inlet of the first flexible conduit 33 is located on the bottom wall of the upper liquid collection box 31 and is covered by a filter cover 63. The cleaning device also includes a drive shaft 61 and an inlet cleaning component 90. The filter cover 63 filters the liquid in the upper liquid collection box 31, reducing the probability of foreign objects entering the first flexible conduit 33. The drive shaft 61 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 10 to drive the cleaning component 22 to swing. The inlet cleaning component 90 includes a support frame 91 fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the upper liquid collection box 31, a brush 92 rotatably mounted on the support frame 91, and a transmission structure 93 connecting the brush 92 and the drive shaft 61. The brush 92 contacts and engages with the filter cover 63, and the drive shaft 61 rotates to drive the brush 92 to rotate through the transmission structure 93. In this way, the drive shaft 61 drives the cleaning component 22 to swing, and the drive shaft 61 can drive the brush 92 to rotate through the transmission structure 93, making the structure of the camera device simpler, reducing the drive source, and facilitating manufacturing. The drive shaft 61 drives the brush 92 to rotate, so that the rotating brush 92 can clean the filter cover 63, remove foreign matter attached to the filter cover 63, and improve the filtration efficiency of the filter cover 63.

[0062] like Figure 8 As shown, the transmission structure 93 includes a transmission rod 931, a connecting rope 932, a steering pulley 933, a torsion spring, and a mounting cover 934. The transmission rod 931 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 91. The first end of the transmission rod 931 is connected to the brush 92, and the first end of the connecting rope 932 is connected to the transmission rod 931. The mounting cover 934 is fixed to the support frame 91 and covers the outside of the second end of the transmission rod 931. The torsion spring is located inside the mounting cover 934, with its first end connected to the inner wall of the mounting cover 934 and its second end connected to the second end of the transmission rod 931. The steering pulley 933 is mounted on the support frame 91, and the connecting rope 932 slides within the steering pulley 933. The second end of the connecting rope 932 is wound around the drive shaft 61. In this way, when the drive shaft 61 rotates, the length of the connecting rope 932 wound around the drive shaft 61 can be adjusted, so that the transmission rod 931 can be pulled to rotate via the connecting rope 932, and the rotation of the transmission rod 931 drives the brush 92 to rotate. The setting of the steering pulley 933 can convert the axial rotation of the drive shaft 61 into the linear movement of the connecting rope 932, which facilitates the drive shaft 61 to drive the transmission rod 931. The setting of the torsion spring allows the torsion spring to generate torque after the length of the connecting rope 932 wound around the transmission rod 931 changes, so that the transmission rod 931 can rotate in the opposite direction, which facilitates the reset of the transmission rod 931.

[0063] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the upper liquid collection box 31 is provided with a clearance hole for the connecting rope 932. A sealing element is provided in the clearance hole, and the connecting rope 932 passes through the sealing element in the clearance hole and is wound around the drive shaft 61.

[0064] In this embodiment, the camera device is preferably a factory area security video surveillance device. The cleaning device also includes a servo motor that drives the drive shaft 61 to rotate in both directions, and the drive shaft 61 is the output shaft of the servo motor.

[0065] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0066] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0067] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0068] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
