[0002] In the application of electronic imaging equipment for power inspection, the design of waterproof and ventilated structures is crucial. With the continuous development of technology, electronic imaging equipment such as cameras and monitoring equipment are widely used in various environments. However, the existing waterproof and ventilated structures of these equipment have many problems.
[0003] Currently, electronic imaging equipment often faces the risk of water entering the device during inspections. For example, in outdoor environments, equipment may be subject to erosion by rain, fog, and other factors. Even indoors, water stains from cleaning the device casing can enter through gaps in the casing. Once water enters the device, it can easily cause equipment failure, impacting normal operation, shortening its lifespan, increasing repair costs, and even potentially causing irreparable damage, resulting in financial losses for users.
[0004] At the same time, existing technologies often lack adequate protection for gaps in device casings. While some devices incorporate ventilation structures, they lack adequate waterproofing, lacking effective structures to prevent water from entering through gaps. Furthermore, even small amounts of water that enter gaps or protective structures lack adequate cleaning mechanisms, and prolonged accumulation of water can negatively impact internal components, such as corroding circuits and damaging electronic components.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present application, and the structural, method or functional changes made by those of ordinary skill in the art based on these embodiments are included in the protection scope of the present application.
[0028] As shown in Figures 1-5 , a waterproof and ventilated structure of an electronic image device for power inspection includes,
[0029] a shell 1, the shell 1 is arranged as a whole in a circular ring, the inner wall of the shell 1 is provided with a gap 2, the part of the gap 2 located in the shell 1 is bent inward, and the shell 1 is provided with an air inlet fan 3 and an air outlet fan 4.
[0030] The air inlet fan 3 is provided with a filter screen 17, which can effectively block dust, impurities and the like from entering the device, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the air entering the inside of the device. The air inlet fan 3 and the air outlet fan 4 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the lower side of the shell 1, which is helpful to form good air convection.
[0031] The air entering the inside of the device is discharged by the air inlet fan 3 after passing through the heat dissipation channel and other areas in the inside of the device. The air outlet fan 4 is also provided with a filter screen 17 to prevent dust and other impurities possibly generated in the inside of the device from being discharged to the outside environment along with the air, thereby avoiding pollution to the surrounding environment. Through the cooperative work of the air inlet fan 3 and the air outlet fan 4, on the one hand, the heat dissipation function of the device is realized, so as to ensure that the heat generated during the operation of the device can be dissipated in time, thereby avoiding the influence on the performance of the device and even the damage to the device due to overheating; on the other hand, the flow of air can blow out the water vapor and the like floating in the inside of the device, thereby cleaning the air in the inside of the device and keeping the inside environment of the device relatively clean, which is conducive to the normal work of the electronic components in the inside of the device.
[0032] In order to avoid water from entering the inside of the device, a protection mechanism 5 is provided for protecting the gap 2. The protection mechanism 5 includes a protection ring 6 arranged in the shell 1. It should be noted that the protection ring 6 is made of transparent acrylic plate material. The transparent acrylic plate has many excellent properties. First, it has high transparency and does not affect the light propagation inside the device, so it does not interfere with the imaging and optical detection functions of the device. Second, the acrylic plate has good weather resistance and can maintain stable performance under different temperature and humidity conditions, and is not prone to deformation, aging or cracking, thereby effectively playing a protective role for a long time. The protection ring 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1 by two fixed rods 7. The fixed rod 7 can provide stable support to ensure that the position of the protection ring 6 in the shell 1 is fixed. Even if the device is subjected to a certain degree of vibration or external force impact, the protection ring 6 will not easily shift or loosen, thereby always maintaining effective protection of the gap 2.
[0033] The cross section of the protection ring 6 is arranged in a U-shaped structure, which provides an effective barrier for water. When water enters the inside of the shell 1 through the gap 2, the U-shaped protection ring 6 will prevent the water from further penetrating inward. Due to its U-shaped shape, the water will accumulate at the bottom of the protection ring 6 and will not easily pass over the protection ring 6 to enter the deeper area inside the device. The design of the U-shaped protection ring 6 makes full use of the principles of gravity and surface tension of the liquid, so that the water is trapped at the protection ring 6, thereby avoiding the water from entering the inside of the device to cause device failure, such as short circuit, corrosion of electronic components, etc. The protection effect of the device is remarkable.
[0034] In order to avoid water from adhering to the inside of the protection ring 6, a cleaning mechanism 8 is provided for cleaning the inside of the protection ring 6 and the gap 2. The cleaning mechanism 8 includes two drive rings 9 between which two cleaning plates 10 are arranged. It should be noted that the cleaning plates 10 are arranged in an arc shape, which is adapted to the circular shape of the shell 1, so as to better fit the inner wall of the shell 1 and the surface of the protection ring 6, thereby improving the cleaning effect. At the same time, the two cleaning plates 10 are symmetrically arranged about a vertical plane, so that during the cleaning process, the gap 2 and the inside of the protection ring 6 can be cleaned from two opposite directions, ensuring the comprehensiveness and uniformity of the cleaning.
[0035] The cleaning plates 10 are coated with cleaning cloth, which has good water absorption and cleaning ability. The two cleaning plates 10 are fixedly connected to the two drive rings 9. When the cleaning plates 10 move under the drive of the drive rings 9, the cleaning cloth can directly contact the water in the gap 2 and the protection ring 6, and adsorb the water on the cleaning cloth, thereby achieving cleaning of the water. At the same time, the cleaning cloth can also wipe off the dust and other impurities that may be attached to the surface of the protection ring 6, keeping the protection ring 6 clean and further improving its protection performance.
[0036] The two rotating shafts 11 are drivingly connected through a transmission mechanism 12, which includes two pulleys 16 drivingly connected through a synchronous belt, and the two pulleys 16 are coaxially fixedly connected with the two rotating shafts 11 respectively. This transmission mode of pulley and synchronous belt has the advantages of stable transmission, low noise, high transmission efficiency, etc. When the motor 13 is started, the driving shaft of the motor 13 drives one of the rotating shafts 11 to rotate, and the pulley 16 on the rotating shaft 11 drives the other pulley 16 to rotate through the synchronous belt, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the two rotating shafts 11.
[0037] The upper ends of the two rotating shafts 11 are coaxially fixedly connected with driving gears 14, the two driving rings 9 are provided with annular tooth grooves matched with the two driving gears 14, and the protective ring 6 is provided with perforations 15 matched with the driving gears 14. When the rotating shaft 11 rotates, the driving gear 14 rotates with it, and the driving gear 14 meshes with the annular tooth groove on the driving ring 9, thereby driving the driving ring 9 to rotate. Since the two cleaning plates 10 are fixedly connected with the two driving rings 9 respectively, the rotation of the driving ring 9 will drive the cleaning plate 10 to move relatively. Through the forward and reverse rotation control of the motor 13, the reciprocating movement of the cleaning plate 10 inside the protective ring 6 and at the gap 2 can be realized, and the water stains and impurities are cleaned continuously, so that the waterproof performance of the equipment and the cleanliness of the protective ring 6 are always in good condition.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] 1) Water stain protection process
[0040] In the normal use process, when the equipment shell 1 contacts water stains, for example, in the power inspection, rain weather or water stains are left on the surface of the equipment by artificial wiping, the water stains will flow along the surface of the shell 1. When the water stains flow to the gap 2, due to the inward bending structure of the gap 2, part of the water stains will be blocked outside. For the small amount of water stains that can enter the gap 2, the protective ring 6 will play its protective role. After the water stains enter the inside of the shell 1 for a certain distance, they will be intercepted by the U-shaped protective ring 6 and accumulated at the bottom of the protective ring 6, and cannot continue to penetrate into the deep part of the equipment interior, thereby effectively avoiding the direct contact of the water stains with the electronic components, circuits and other internal parts of the equipment, preventing the short circuit, corrosion and other equipment failures caused by water stains.
[0041] 3) Water stain absorption process
[0042] When it is necessary to clean the water stains accumulated in the protection ring 6 and the gap 2, the motor 13 is started. The motor 13 drives the rotation of the shaft 11 fixedly connected coaxially with the motor 13, and through the transmission of the transmission mechanism 12 (the belt wheel 16 and the synchronous belt), the two shafts 11 rotate synchronously. The driving gear 14 on the shaft 11 rotates, and the driving gear 14 meshes with the annular tooth groove on the driving ring 9, thereby driving the rotation of the two driving rings 9. The two driving rings 9 rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the relative movement of the two cleaning plates 10. In the movement process, the cleaning cloth wrapped outside the cleaning plate 10 is in full contact with the gap 2 and the inner surface of the protection ring 6, and the water stains are absorbed in the cleaning cloth by using the water absorption property of the cleaning cloth, and the dust and other impurities that may exist are also cleaned. The motor 13 can be controlled in forward and reverse rotation according to actual needs, so that the cleaning plate 10 reciprocates in the protection ring 6 and the gap 2, ensuring the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning work, and ensuring the waterproof performance and normal operation of the equipment.
