Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surveillance camera technology, and more specifically to a self-cleaning device and camera equipment for outdoor construction. Background Technology

[0002] During construction, cameras are used to check the construction effect. However, when it rains, the rainwater on the camera housing affects the clarity of the monitoring, especially at construction sites. Rainwater and dust remain on the camera housing, affecting the monitoring field of view and clarity.

[0003] Patent CN105578000B discloses a wind-powered self-cleaning outdoor camera. Through its arc-shaped fan blades, wind from any direction can drive the outer ring of the bearing to rotate, thereby causing the wiper blades to scrape water droplets off the protective cover. However, in the aforementioned wind-powered self-cleaning outdoor camera, even in dry weather, the wiper blades continue to rotate against the camera's protective cover under wind force, causing continuous obstruction of the camera's field of view and significant wear on the protective cover, thus affecting image clarity. This invention proposes a new solution to these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome at least one of the aforementioned drawbacks, this invention provides a self-cleaning device and a camera for outdoor construction. The objective of this invention can be achieved by employing the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a self-cleaning device for outdoor construction, applied to a camera device, the camera device including a camera, a base, and a protective cover, the camera being mounted on the base, and the protective cover being fitted over the camera, the self-cleaning device for outdoor construction comprising:

[0006] A wind-driven mechanism is connected to the base, and the wind-driven mechanism is driven by wind to rotate around the base as an axis.

[0007] A water collection mechanism, including a water collection bag for collecting rainwater;

[0008] A wiper blade, the inner wall of which is shaped to fit the outer wall of the protective cover, and the wiper blade is located on the outside of the protective cover;

[0009] A connecting component, wherein a first end of the connecting component is connected to the water collection mechanism, and a second end of the connecting component is connected to the wiper blade;

[0010] The wiper blade includes a first position and a second position. When the wiper blade is in the first position, it is separated from the protective cover, and the wind-driven mechanism is separated from the wiper blade. When the wiper blade is in the second position, it is in contact with the protective cover. The wind-driven mechanism is connected to the wiper blade through the connecting assembly to drive the wiper blade to rotate against the outer wall of the protective cover to remove rainwater from the outer wall of the protective cover.

[0011] In one possible implementation, when the weight of the water collection mechanism increases, a portion of the connecting component moves closer to the wind-driven mechanism, the wiper blade moves from the first position to the second position, and when the wiper blade reaches the second position, the connecting component connects to the wind-driven mechanism, and the wind-driven mechanism drives the wiper blade to rotate through the connecting component.

[0012] When the weight of the water collection mechanism decreases, a portion of the connecting component moves away from the wind-driven mechanism, the wiper blade moves from the second position to the first position, and when the wiper blade reaches the first position, the connecting component separates from the wind-driven mechanism, and the wind-driven mechanism separates from the wiper blade.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the wind-driven mechanism includes:

[0014] The ring-shaped component is rotatably connected to the base.

[0015] The blades, which have a certain curvature, are driven by wind to move and are used to drive the annular component to rotate around the axis of the protective cover.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the wind-driven mechanism further includes:

[0017] An extension portion is connected to the annular member and extends in a direction away from the annular member; the blade is connected to the extension portion.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the connection component includes:

[0019] A lever mechanism is provided, wherein the water collection bag is connected to the lever mechanism, and the wiper blade is connected to the lever mechanism;

[0020] The lever mechanism is rotatably connected to the support member;

[0021] The camera device is equipped with a slide rail for the support member to rotate along the protective cover.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the connection component further includes:

[0023] A connecting rod is connected to the lever mechanism and located outside the camera device. The first end of the connecting rod is connected to the water collection bag, which is placed outside the monitoring field of the camera device. The second end of the connecting rod is connected to the wiper blade.

[0024] In one possible implementation, when the wiper blade is in the second position, the wind-driven mechanism is engaged with the connecting assembly.

[0025] The connecting component includes a locking block, which is disposed on the lever mechanism. The wind-driven mechanism includes an annular component with a slot corresponding to the locking block. When the wiper blade is in the second position, the locking block is inserted into the slot.

[0026] In one possible implementation, a plurality of the card slots are placed on the end face of the annular member facing the card block and arranged in a ring, the distance between the openings of two adjacent card slots is less than 1 cm, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the opening end of the card slot is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom end of the card slot.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the lever mechanism is provided with a counterweight, which is positioned at the end of the lever mechanism away from the water collection bag, so that when the wiper blade is in the first position, the wind-driven mechanism is disengaged from the connecting assembly; and / or,

[0028] The lever mechanism and / or the camera device are provided with magnetic attachments so that when the wiper blade is in the first position, the wind-driven mechanism is separated from the connecting assembly.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the self-cleaning device for outdoor construction further includes a dust removal mechanism, the dust removal mechanism comprising:

[0030] An air pump is mounted on the connecting assembly;

[0031] The air jet is located on the wiper blade and faces the protective cover;

[0032] The air pump delivers gas and sprays it out of the nozzle toward the protective cover.

[0033] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a camera device including the self-cleaning device for outdoor construction as described in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the camera device includes a camera, a base, and a protective cover.

[0034] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows: According to this disclosure, the self-cleaning device for outdoor construction uses a split-type wiper blade that is movably connected to a wind-driven mechanism. In rainy weather, the wiper blade automatically adheres to the outer wall of the camera protective cover and rotates under wind power to remove rainwater from the outer wall of the protective cover, reducing the impact of rainwater on the camera equipment and improving image clarity. In dry weather, the wiper blade is separated from the camera protective cover and the wind-driven mechanism. At this time, the wiper blade does not rotate with the wind-driven mechanism, preventing wear on the protective cover in dry weather, reducing wear and tear on the protective cover, thereby increasing the service life of the protective cover and improving image clarity.

[0050] In the following detailed disclosure, these embodiments are fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to enable those skilled in the art to understand and clarify the technical solution of the present invention more clearly, the embodiments described below are not limited thereto. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0052] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or unit referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0053] The first aspect of the invention, as Figures 1-5As shown, an outdoor construction self-cleaning device is provided, applied to a camera device 100. The camera device 100 includes a camera, a base 110, and a protective cover 120. The camera is mounted on the base 110, and the protective cover 120 is fitted over the camera. The outdoor construction self-cleaning device includes a wind-driven mechanism 1, a water-collecting mechanism 2, a wiper blade 3, and a connecting assembly 4. The wind-driven mechanism 1 is connected to the base 110 and rotates around the base 110 as an axis driven by wind. The water-collecting mechanism 2 includes a water-collecting bag 22 for collecting rainwater. The inner wall shape of the wiper blade 3 conforms to the protective cover 120. The outer wall of the protective cover 120 has a wiper blade 3 located outside the protective cover 120; the first end of the connecting component 4 is connected to the water collection mechanism 2, and the second end of the connecting component 4 is connected to the wiper blade 3; the wiper blade 3 has a first position and a second position. When the wiper blade 3 is in the first position, the wiper blade 3 is separated from the protective cover 120, and the wind-driven mechanism 1 is separated from the wiper blade 3. When the wiper blade 3 is in the second position, the wiper blade 3 abuts against the protective cover 120, and the wind-driven mechanism 1 is connected to the wiper blade 3 through the connecting component 4 to drive the wiper blade 3 to rotate against the outer wall of the protective cover 120 to remove rainwater from the outer wall of the protective cover 120.

[0054] The self-cleaning device for outdoor construction includes a wind-driven mechanism 1, a water-collecting mechanism 2, a wiper blade 3, and a connecting component 4. The water-collecting mechanism 2 collects rainwater, which drives the wiper blade 3 to move and adjust the contact between the wiper blade 3 and the camera protective cover 120, as well as the connection between the wiper blade 3 and the wind-driven mechanism 4. The separate wiper blade 3, which is movably connected to the wind-driven mechanism 1, can automatically adhere to the outer wall of the camera protective cover 120 in rainy weather and rotate under the drive of the wind to wipe away rainwater on the outer wall of the protective cover 120, reducing the impact of rainwater on the camera equipment 100 and improving the clarity of the image. In rainless weather, the wiper blade is separated from the camera protective cover 120 and the wiper blade 3 is separated from the wind-driven mechanism 1. At this time, the wiper blade 3 does not rotate with the wind-driven mechanism to avoid wear on the protective cover 120 in rainless weather, thereby reducing wear on the protective cover 120 and improving the service life of the protective cover 120 and the clarity of the image.

[0055] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, when the weight of the water collection mechanism 2 increases, a portion of the connecting component 4 moves closer to the wind-driven mechanism 1, and the wiper blade 3 moves from the first position to the second position. When the wiper blade 3 reaches the second position, the connecting component 4 connects to the wind-driven mechanism 1, and the wind-driven mechanism 1 drives the wiper blade 3 to rotate through the connecting component 4. When the weight of the water collection mechanism 2 decreases, a portion of the connecting component 4 moves away from the wind-driven mechanism 1, and the wiper blade 3 moves from the second position to the first position. When the wiper blade 3 reaches the first position, the connecting component 4 separates from the wind-driven mechanism 1, and the wind-driven mechanism 1 separates from the wiper blade 3.

[0056] During rainy weather, rainwater falls into the water collection bag 22, causing the weight of the water collection bag 22 to increase. When the weight of the water collection bag 22 exceeds the preset weight, the connecting component 4 tilts until it connects with the wind-driven mechanism 1. At this time, the wiper blade 3 is in the second position and abuts against the protective cover 120. The wind-driven mechanism 1 rotates under the drive of the wind, which in turn drives the connecting component 4 and the wiper blade 3 to rotate, wiping away the rainwater on the outer surface of the protective cover 120.

[0057] In rainless weather, when there is no water collected in the water collection bag 22, or when the rainwater in the water collection bag 22 evaporates to below the preset weight, the connecting component 4 gradually returns to its original position until it is separated from the wind-driven mechanism 1. At this time, the wiper blade 3 is in the first position and separated from the protective cover 120. The wind-driven mechanism 1 rotates under the drive of the wind, so it cannot drive the connecting component 4 and the wiper blade 3 to rotate, thus avoiding useless wear of the wiper blade 3 on the protective cover 120.

[0058] In one possible implementation, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the wind-driven mechanism 1 includes an annular component 13 and a blade 12. The annular component 13 is rotatably connected to the base 110. The blade 12 has a certain curvature and is driven to move by wind, which is used to drive the annular component 13 to rotate around the axis of the protective cover 120.

[0059] The height of the wind-driven mechanism 1 and the base 110 is relatively fixed. The blade 12 is driven by the wind and can drive the ring 13 to rotate along the base 110. The axis of rotation of the ring 13 coincides with the axis of the protective cover 120, so that the wiper blade 3 can rotate against the surface of the protective cover 120 to wipe water.

[0060] In a specific implementation, the annular component 13 and the base 110 can be connected by a bearing, or the annular component 13 can also be a bearing.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the camera device 100 can be powered by wind through the wind-driven mechanism 1. The camera device 100 includes a wind turbine and a battery. The wind-driven mechanism 1 can provide wind power while also cooperating with the water collection mechanism 2, the connecting component 4 and the wiper blade 3 to remove rainwater from the protective cover 120.

[0062] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the wind-driven mechanism 1 also includes an extension 11, which is connected to the annular member 13. The extension 11 extends away from the annular member 13, and the blade 12 is connected to the extension 11.

[0063] In specific implementation, the extension 11 is located on the outer periphery of the annular part 13, and the blade 12 is disposed on the extension 11 to increase the distance between two adjacent blades 12, improve the conversion rate of the blade 12 to wind power, receive a larger range of wind power to drive the blade 12 to rotate, and still achieve continuous rotation of the wind-driven mechanism 1 when the wind speed is low.

[0064] In specific implementation, the blade 12 can be a rigid blade with a certain curvature, and can be made of materials such as metal, alloy and plastic; the blade 12 can also be a flexible film with a certain depression, and can be made of materials such as plastic and rubber.

[0065] It is understandable that when the blade 12 is a flexible film with a certain indentation, it can drive the annular part 13 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0066] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting component 4 includes a lever mechanism 41 and a support member 42. The water collection bag 22 is connected to the lever mechanism 41, the wiper blade 3 is connected to the lever mechanism 41, and the lever mechanism 41 is rotatably connected to the support member 42. The camera device 100 is provided with a slide rail 5 for the support member 42 to rotate along the protective cover 120.

[0067] It is understood that the support member 42 is rotatably connected to the lever mechanism 41, and the lever mechanism 41 can rotate about the connection point between the support member 42 and the lever mechanism 41. The camera device 100 is provided with a slide rail 5 for the support member 42 to rotate along the protective cover 120. The support member 42 is movably connected to the camera device 100, that is, the support member 42 can move along the slide rail 5 of the base 110. The base 110 is used to connect the camera. When the wind-driven mechanism 1 and the connecting component 4 are connected, the support member 42 moves along the slide rail 5.

[0068] In practice, the slide rail 5 can be a structure such as a bearing or a groove, as long as it can satisfy the movement of the support member 42 along the slide rail 5.

[0069] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3As shown, the connecting component 4 also includes a connecting rod 43, which is connected to the lever mechanism 41 and located outside the camera device 100. The first end of the connecting rod 43 is connected to the water collection bag 22, which is placed outside the monitoring field of the camera device 100. The second end of the connecting rod 43 is connected to the wiper blade 3.

[0070] In specific implementation, by placing the water collection bag 22 outside the monitoring field of view of the camera device 100, this embodiment takes the example of placing the water collection bag 22 above the monitoring field of view of the camera device 100, thereby reducing the impact of the water collection bag 22 on the monitoring field of view of the camera device 100.

[0071] Understandably, the water collection bag 22 can be a light-transmitting structure to reduce the impact of the water collection bag 22 on the monitoring field of view, while allowing more light to be received, improving the efficiency of water evaporation after the rain stops, and reducing the wear of the wiper blade 3 on the protective cover 120 due to the residual water in the water collection bag 22 after the rain stops.

[0072] Understandably, the water collection bag 22 can have a certain degree of elasticity. As the water collection bag 22 rotates with the wind-driven mechanism 1, it deforms, reducing obstruction of the monitoring field of view. At the same time, it can reduce the amount of rainwater overflowing due to the rotation of the water collection bag 22, so as to prevent the water collection bag 22 from being thrown out and causing the wiper blade 3 and the protective cover 120 to separate. During the rotation of the water collection bag 22, it still maintains its own weight above the preset weight, so that the wiper blade 3 remains in contact with the protective cover 120.

[0073] It is understood that the water collection mechanism 2 may also include a bag body fixing member 21, which is connected to the connecting component 2, that is, connected to the lever mechanism 41 or the connecting rod 43. The bag body fixing member 21 is used to fix the water collection bag 22. When the water collection bag 22 is heavily polluted or damaged, it is convenient to replace the water collection bag 22. The bag body fixing member 21 includes an opening through which rainwater is collected in the water collection bag 22.

[0074] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when the wiper blade 3 is in the second position, the wind-driven mechanism 1 and the connecting component 4 are engaged and connected; the connecting component 4 includes a locking block 45, which is disposed on the lever mechanism 41; the wind-driven mechanism 1 includes an annular part 13, which has a slot 131 corresponding to the locking block 45; when the wiper blade 3 is in the second position, the locking block 45 is inserted into the slot 131.

[0075] Understandably, when the water collection bag 22 collects more rainwater than the preset weight, the lever 41 tilts, and the locking block 45 moves upward until it is inserted into the locking slot 131, thus realizing the connection between the connecting component 4 and the wind-driven mechanism 1.

[0076] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, multiple slots 131 are positioned on the end face of the annular component 13 facing the locking block 45 and arranged in a ring. The distance between the openings of two adjacent slots 131 is less than 1 cm. The cross-sectional area of ​​the opening end of the slot 131 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom end of the slot 131.

[0077] It is understandable that, since the wind-driven mechanism 1 is continuously rotated by wind, the multiple slots 131 are arranged in a ring, and the distance between the openings of two adjacent slots 131 is less than 1 cm, so that the card block 45 can be quickly inserted into the slot 131 when it moves upward, thereby improving the engagement efficiency and engagement rate between the connecting component 4 and the wind-driven mechanism 1, and shortening the time spent on engagement between the connecting component 4 and the wind-driven mechanism 1.

[0078] Understandably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the slot opening of the slot 131 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the block 45. Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the slot opening of the slot 131 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom end of the slot 131, increasing the success rate of the block 45 entering the slot 131. The cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom end of the slot 131 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the block 45, limiting the block 45 when it enters the slot 131, preventing the block 45 from disengaging from the slot 131 during rotation.

[0079] In one possible implementation, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the lever mechanism 41 is provided with a counterweight 44, which is placed at the end of the lever mechanism 41 away from the water collection bag 22, so that when the wiper blade 3 is in the first position, the wind-driven mechanism 1 and the connecting assembly 4 are separated.

[0080] In practical implementation, counterweight can be achieved through the structure of the connecting component 4 itself, namely the length and weight of the lever mechanism 41 and the connecting rod 43, as well as the connection position of the support 42 and the lever mechanism 41.

[0081] In practical implementation, counterweight can also be achieved by setting a counterweight block 44. The counterweight block 44 and the locking block 45 are located on the same side of the lever mechanism 41 to meet the function of adjusting the preset weight of rainwater collected by the water collection bag 22.

[0082] In specific implementation, magnetic components can also be provided on the lever mechanism 41 and / or the camera device 100 so that when the wiper blade 3 is in the first position, the wind-driven mechanism 1 and the connecting component 4 are separated.

[0083] It is understood that the magnetic attractor can be set on the lever mechanism 41 or the camera device 100 alone to attract the lever mechanism 41 or the camera device 100, or it can be set on both the lever mechanism 41 and the camera device 100 at the same time. Based on the principle of like poles attracting and unlike poles repelling, it can be set on either side of the support member 42. The magnetic attractor set on the camera device 100 is preferably ring-shaped.

[0084] Understandably, the wiper blade 3 is preferably made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as rubber, silicone, or a brush, to reduce wear on the protective cover 120. At the same time, the wiper blade 3 can be made of a light-transmitting material to minimize its impact on the camera's field of vision.

[0085] Understandably, the shape of the wiper blade 3 fits the design of the camera cover 120, and the inner wall of the wiper blade 3 can be straight, curved, or a combination of both.

[0086] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the self-cleaning device for outdoor construction also includes a dust removal mechanism, which includes an air pump and a jet nozzle. The air pump is mounted on the connecting assembly 4, and the jet nozzle is located on the wiper blade 3 and faces the protective cover 120. The air pump delivers gas through the jet nozzle and sprays airflow toward the protective cover 120 to blow off dirt adhering to the surface of the protective cover 120.

[0087] In practice, an air supply pipe connected to the air pump can be installed. The opening of the air supply pipe is the air jet nozzle. The air pump sprays airflow from the air jet nozzle to the protective cover 120 through the air supply pipe, blowing off dirt on the surface of the protective cover 120. The dirt includes dust, feathers, mud, fallen leaves, rainwater and other debris that affect the clarity of the camera.

[0088] In specific implementation, the wiper blade 3 can also be made into a hollow structure with an air jet opening. The air jet opening can be opened on the end face of the wiper blade 3 facing the protective cover 120, or it can be opened on the side of the wiper blade 3 facing the protective cover 120.

[0089] Understandably, by spraying airflow onto the protective cover 120, dirt adhering to the surface of the protective cover 120 is blown off, and rainwater can be slid off the protective cover 120 more quickly.

[0090] The number of air jets is an integer, and multiple air jets are arranged along the length of the wiper blade 3. They can be set on one or both sides of the wiper blade 3 to increase the coverage area of ​​the airflow and improve the efficiency of removing dirt.

[0091] The second aspect of the invention, as follows Figures 1-7 As shown, a camera device is provided, including any of the above-mentioned self-cleaning devices for outdoor construction. The camera device 100 includes a camera, a base 110, and a protective cover 120.

[0092] The camera device 100 includes a camera, a base 110, and a protective cover 120. The camera is mounted on the base 110, and the protective cover 120 is made of transparent material and is fitted over the camera.

[0093] The camera device 100 may also include a mounting assembly 200 for fixing the camera to the carrier. The mounting assembly 200 includes a mounting bracket 210, a mounting plate 220 and a connector 230. The mounting bracket 210 is connected to the base 100, the mounting plate 200 is connected to the mounting bracket 210, and the connector 230 is disposed on the mounting plate 200 for connecting the carrier on which the camera device 100 is mounted.
