At this time, when the moving block moves close to the inclined toggle rod, it contacts the arc edge of one end of the toggle rod through the rotating block, thereby pushing the toggle rod to rotate. When the toggle rod rotates, it can pull the tension spring a on one side to extend it. At the same time, the toggle rod will toggle the top of the cleaning brush to rotate the cleaning brush. When the cleaning brush rotates, it can drive the fixed plate b on the outside of the connecting rod to rotate, and the fixed plate b will pull the tension spring b to extend it. When the cleaning brush rotates, one side of the cleaning brush will contact the lens, thereby cleaning the lens. In this way, through the above operation, the lens can be cleaned synchronously when the surveillance camera drives away birds. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a surveillance camera with a safety protection structure, comprising a bracket a1 and a driving mechanism 11, one end of the bracket a1 is movably connected to a bracket b2 via a rotating shaft, the top of the bracket b2 is movably connected to a body 3 via a rotating shaft, and a lens 4 is installed on one side of the body 3.

[0031] A fixing plate a5 is fixed to one end of the bracket a1 away from the lens 4, two groups of electric push rods a6 are fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate a5, a rack rod a7 is fixed to the bottom of the electric push rod a6, one side of the rack rod a7 is meshedly connected with a gear a8, one side of the gear a8 is fixedly connected with a protective cover 9, a transparent plastic plate is fixed to the side of the protective cover 9 close to the lens 4, a rotating seat 10 is movably connected to the bottom of the protective cover 9 through a rotating shaft, one end of the rotating seat 10 is fixedly connected to the body 3, a sliding rod 12 is fixed to the top of the bracket a1, a moving block 13 is slidably connected to the outer side of the sliding rod 12, a driving mechanism 11 for driving the moving block 13 to reciprocate is provided on the top of the fixing plate a5, a laser bird-repelling light 17 is provided on the top of the driving mechanism 11, a through hole matching the sliding rod 12 is opened inside the moving block 13, the sliding rod 12 and the moving block 13 constitute a sliding structure, the protective cover 9 constitutes a rotating structure with the rotating seat 10 through the rotating shaft, and the rack rod a7 and the gear a8 constitute an engaging transmission structure;

[0032] The driving mechanism 11 includes a motor 111 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate a5, the output end of the motor 111 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod a112, one end of the connecting rod a112 is movably connected to a connecting rod b113 through a rotating shaft; one end of the connecting rod b113 is movably connected to a moving block 13 through a rotating shaft, the top of the moving block 13 is movably connected to a gear b14 through a rotating shaft, and the outer side of the gear b14 is meshingly connected to a rack plate 15; the bottom of the rack plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bracket a1, the top of the gear b14 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to a connecting disk 16, and the top of the connecting disk 16 is fixedly connected to a laser bird-repelling light 17; a radar monitor 18 is installed on the top of the fixed plate a5, the output end of the radar monitor 18 is wirelessly connected to a controller 19, the top of the controller 19 is fixedly connected to the body 3, the connecting rod a112 and the connecting rod b113 form a rotating structure through a rotating shaft, and the gear b14 and the rack plate 15 form a meshing transmission structure.

[0033] In specific implementation, the surveillance camera with a safety protection structure monitors the surrounding birds through the radar monitor 18 on the top. When a bird is detected, a signal is sent to the controller 19. After receiving the signal, the controller 19 controls the motor 111 and the electric push rod a6 to start. When the electric push rod a6 starts, it can push the rack rod a7 at the bottom to move downward and mesh with one side of the gear a8 to rotate the gear a8. When the gear a8 rotates, it can drive the protective cover 9 on one side to rotate and close. Since the electric push rod a6 and the protective cover 9 are relatively arranged in two groups, the two groups of protective covers 9 can rotate in opposite directions at the same time. When the two groups of protective covers 9 are combined, the upper part and the lens 4 of the surveillance camera can be protected. At the same time, the end of the protective cover 9 close to the lens 4 is a transparent plastic plate, which can enable the lens 4 to normally collect external images.

[0034] When the motor 111 is started, it will drive the connecting rod a112 to rotate, and the connecting rod a112 will drive the connecting rod b113 to rotate, thereby pulling the moving block 13 to slide on the outside of the sliding rod 12. The continuous rotation of the connecting rod a112 can drive the moving block 13 to move back and forth. The gear b14 on the top of the moving block 13 will mesh with the rack plate 15 during the reciprocating movement, thereby reciprocating. The connecting disk 16 on the top of the gear b14 and the laser bird-repelling light 17 will also reciprocate at the same time. The laser bird-repelling light 17 will emit lasers into the sky. These pulsed lasers Bright and visible light spots or dynamic line patterns are formed in the air, which can illuminate birds at a long distance, making them feel uncomfortable and thus leave the vicinity of the camera. Since the laser bird-repelling light 17 can reciprocate while moving back and forth, the range of laser irradiation can be increased, and birds within the range can be driven away to prevent them from landing on the camera and causing damage to the camera. In this way, the camera can be protected by the above operation to prevent external objects from directly contacting the body 3, and the surrounding birds can be expelled by the laser bird-repelling light 17, thereby improving the protection effect.

[0035] See also Figure 3-Figure 8 , a switching mechanism 20 is arranged inside the moving block 13, and the switching mechanism 20 includes an electric push rod b201 fixedly connected to the inside of the moving block 13, one end of the electric push rod b201 is fixedly connected to a push block 202, and one side of the top of the push block 202 is an arc surface, and a scraper 27 is fixedly connected to the end of the bracket a1 close to the lens 4; one side of the moving block 13 is movably connected to a rotating block 203 through a rotating shaft, and a toggle rod 21 is movably connected to the side of the top of the body 3 close to the moving block 13 through a rotating shaft, and one side of the toggle rod 21 is fixedly connected to a tension spring a22; one end of the tension spring a22 is connected to the body 3, one end of the toggle rod 21 is provided with a cleaning brush 23, and one side of the cleaning brush 23 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 24; one end of the connecting rod 24 is movably connected to the body 3 through a bearing, and the outer side of the connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate b25; one side of the fixing plate b25 is fixedly connected to a tension spring b26, and one end of the tension spring b26 is fixedly connected to the body 3, the toggle rod 21 forms a rotating structure with the body 3 through a rotating shaft, and the body 3, the toggle rod 21 and the tension spring a22 form an elastic telescopic structure, and a receiving groove is opened inside the moving block 13, and the receiving groove is slidably connected to the push block 202.

[0036] In specific implementation, when the driving mechanism 11 of the surveillance camera with a safety protection structure drives the moving block 13 to move, the moving block 13 will not only drive the laser bird-repelling light 17 to move, but also move closer to or farther away from the toggle rod 21. At this time, if you want to clean the lens 4, you can start the electric push rod b201 inside the moving block 13, and the electric push rod b201 will push the push block 202 at one end to move, and one side of the push block 202 will contact the rotating block 203, and the push block 202 can push the rotating block 203 to rotate and unfold through the arc surface on one side;

[0037] At this time, when the moving block 13 moves close to the inclined toggle rod 21, it will contact the arc edge of one end of the toggle rod 21 through the rotating block 203, thereby pushing the toggle rod 21 to rotate. When the toggle rod 21 rotates, it can pull the tension spring a22 on one side to stretch it. At the same time, the toggle rod 21 will toggle the top of the cleaning brush 23 to make the cleaning brush 23 rotate. When the cleaning brush 23 rotates, it can drive the fixed plate b25 outside the connecting rod 24 to rotate as well. The fixed plate b25 will pull the tension spring b26 to stretch it, and the cleaning brush 23 can rotate. When the cleaning brush 23 rotates, one side will contact the lens 4, thereby cleaning the lens 4. When the cleaning brush 23 contacts the scrapers 27 on both sides of the lens 4, the scrapers 27 will scrape off the debris adhering to the cleaning brush 23. When the moving block 13 is released from squeezing the toggle rod 21, the tension spring a22 will pull the toggle rod 21 to reset, and the tension spring b26 will also pull the cleaning brush 23 to reset. In this way, when the rotating block 203 rotates and unfolds, it can intermittently contact the toggle rod 21, thereby driving the cleaning brush 23 to clean the lens 4 of the camera.

[0038] When the camera needs to continue shooting pictures, the cleaning brush 23 needs to remain stationary. At this time, the electric push rod b201 can be started to drive the push block 202 to retract into the moving block 13. At this time, the rotating block 203 will rotate and reset, and the toggle rod 21 will not be toggled. The cleaning brush 23 will also be in a stationary state. In this way, through the above operation, the lens 4 can be cleaned synchronously when the surveillance camera is driving away birds.

[0039] To sum up, the camera will collect external images through the lens 4, and the collected images will be converted through the image sensor in the body 3, converting the optical signal into an electrical signal, and then into a digital image signal. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the existing technology known to professional and technical personnel in this field.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
