[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0037] In order to simplify the drawings, only the parts related to the invention are schematically shown in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. In addition, in order to simplify the drawings and facilitate understanding, in some figures, only one of the parts with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one of them is marked. In this article, "one" not only means "only one", but also means "more than one", and "several" includes "two" and "more than two".
[0038] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0039] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0040] like Figure 1-9 As shown, an Internet of Things monitoring device includes: a video monitoring module 2, and also includes: a mounting base 1; a protective spherical shell 3, one side of which has a connecting shaft 301, the connecting shaft 301 is arranged on the mounting base 1, the protective spherical shell 3 has a transparent area, the video monitoring module 2 is arranged in the protective spherical shell 3, and monitors the outside from the transparent area; a cleaning brush 4, having an arc-shaped shaping strip 401 and a brush 402 distributed along the shaping strip 401, the cleaning brush 4 is rotatably arranged on the protective spherical shell 3, the brush 402 abuts against the outer surface of the protective spherical shell 3, and after the cleaning brush 4 rotates, the rotating area of the brush 402 at least covers the transparent area; a driving unit 5, which is arranged on the mounting base 1 and is used to drive the cleaning brush 4 to rotate.
[0041] When in use, the mounting base 1 can be fixedly installed on a pipe rack or a wall, and the camera of the video monitoring module 2 is facing upward or tilted upward to monitor the outer space of the high-rise building above. The protective spherical shell 3 is a spherical shell structure, which can be partially transparent or completely transparent. The camera monitors through the transparent area of the protective spherical shell 3. The camera can be fixed or rotatable and adjustable, and the transparent area at least ensures that the monitoring angle is sufficient.
[0042] The driving unit 5 can drive the cleaning brush 4 to rotate and clean the surface of the protective spherical shell 3. Under high-speed rotation, the shaping strip 401 can partially intercept the debris that hits the protective spherical shell 3, reduce the impact damage of the debris on the protective spherical shell 3, and also reduce the rain and snow falling on the protective spherical shell 3. The brush 402 can clean the surface of the protective spherical shell 3. The cleaning brush 4 is an arc-shaped structure, close to the surface of the protective spherical shell 3, and the brush 402 can be made of a material with poor water absorption, which can well discharge rainwater when rotating and has good self-cleaning properties.
[0043] Furthermore, there are a plurality of cleaning brushes 4, which are distributed at intervals along a circular direction outside the protective spherical shell 3; it also includes: a connecting tube 403, which has two, the two connecting tubes 403 are coaxially arranged and rotatably arranged on both sides of the protective spherical shell 3, one of the connecting tubes 403 is rotatably sleeved on the connecting shaft 301, and the two ends of the cleaning brush 4 are respectively arranged on the two connecting tubes 403; a transmission gear 404, a transmission gear 404 is sleeved on the connecting tube 403 rotatably sleeved on the connecting shaft 301, and the power output end of the drive unit 5 is meshed with the transmission gear 404 for transmission.
[0044] When in use, when several cleaning brushes 4 rotate, the cleaning efficiency can be improved to avoid the damage of a single cleaning brush 4 affecting the cleaning use. At the same time, the rotation coverage of the protective spherical shell 3 is higher, which can effectively intercept some debris (including bird excrement, rain, snow, leaves, etc.) from approaching the protective spherical shell 3. The spacing between two adjacent cleaning brushes 4 should meet the requirement of not less than the camera monitoring angle area to avoid affecting the monitoring area when the cleaning brush 4 is in a stationary state.
[0045] The driving unit 5 can be a servo motor or the like, which is mounted on the mounting base 1 and transmits power to the transmission gear 404 through gear transmission to drive the cleaning brush 4 to rotate.
[0046] Furthermore, at least one scraping strip 302 is provided on the outer side of the protective ball shell 3. After the cleaning brush 4 rotates, the brush 402 at least partially abuts against the scraping strip 302, and the scraping strip 302 is used to clean the brush 402. The scraping strip 302 is a sawtooth structure.
[0047] When in use, the scraper strip 302 on the outside of the protective spherical shell 3 is located between the shaping strip 401 and the outer surface of the protective spherical shell 3. When the cleaning brush 4 rotates, the end of the brush 402 hits the scraper strip 302. When passing through the scraper strip 302, the debris on the brush 402 is scraped off, and the debris is ejected after the brush 402 passes over the scraper strip 302, thereby strengthening the cleaning of the brush 402 and maintaining the cleaning effect of the brush 402 on the protective spherical shell 3. The scraper strip 302 can be set to cover the entire outer surface of the protective spherical shell 3, or it can be opposite to the transparent area to clean the brush 402 passing through the transparent area.
[0048] When the cleaning brush 4 passes through the scraper strip 302, the plane where the scraper strip 302 is located may be parallel to the plane where the brush 402 is located, or there may be an angle between the plane where the scraper strip 302 is located and the plane where the brush 402 is located, such as Figure 8 As shown, when the brush 402 is in contact with the scraper bar 302, it is a partial contact, which can reduce the noise of the brush 402 hitting the scraper bar 302 and reduce the vibration.
[0049] The scraper strip 302 adopts a sawtooth structure, which can improve the cleaning ability of the debris wrapped around the brush 402, improve the cleaning ability of the debris mixed inside the brush 402, and improve the self-cleaning effect of the brush 402. For the sake of simplicity, the brush 402 shown in the figure represents the actual density, number of rows, etc.
[0050] Furthermore, the protective spherical shell 3 includes a first shell 303 and a second shell 304, the first shell 303 and the second shell 304 form a sphere, the second shell 304 has a transparent area, the first shell 303 has a mounting frame 3031, the camera monitoring module 2 is set on the mounting frame 3031, and the camera monitoring module 2 is located in the second shell 304.
[0051] When in use, the first shell 303 and the second shell 304 can be assembled to form a spherical protective ball shell 3, which is more convenient to produce and install. The first shell 303 can be an opaque component, and the second shell 304 can be a transparent component, that is, the entire second shell 304 is a transparent area. The second shell 304 has a larger internal space than the first shell 303, which is convenient for installing the camera monitoring module 2, etc. The scraper 302 can exist on the outside of the second shell 304.
[0052] Furthermore, it also includes: a lighting module 6, which is arranged on the mounting frame 3031 and is located in the second shell 304. The lighting module 6 is located beside the camera monitoring module 2, and the lighting module 6 is used for lighting downward.
[0053] When in use, the lighting module 6 can illuminate the lower part, and when installed in a space such as a residential area or a factory building, it has both lighting and monitoring functions. The camera monitoring module 2 is at the upper part, and the lighting module 6 is at the lower part, and the transparent area is used to illuminate the lower part at the same time.
[0054] Further, the mounting base 1 includes a base 101, a rotating base 102 and a bracket 103. The rotating base 102 is rotatably arranged on the base 101 in a first plane, and the bracket 103 is rotatably arranged on the rotating base 102 in a second plane. The first plane is perpendicular to the second plane. The connecting shaft 301 is arranged on the bracket 103, and the driving unit 5 is arranged on the bracket 103. The bracket 103 has a through hole 1033, and the end of the connecting shaft 301 has a threaded portion 3011. After the threaded portion 3011 passes through the through hole 1033, the locking nut 7 is threadedly connected with the threaded portion 3011 to fix the protective ball shell 3. The bracket 103 is in a "7" shape, and the lower part of the bracket 103 is rotatably arranged on the rotating base 102, and the through hole 1033 is located at the upper part of the bracket 103.
[0055] When in use, the mounting base 1 is convenient for fixed installation with the protective ball shell 3, and the mounting base 1 itself can be adjusted in angle, which is convenient for adjusting the monitoring angle of the video monitoring module 2 and improving applicability. Taking the mounting base 1 fixed on the upper end of the vertical pipe rack as an example, the base 101 is horizontally fixed on the top of the pipe rack, and the rotating base 102 is horizontally rotatably sleeved on the base 101, which can be locked and positioned by bolts. The rotating base 102 can be a "U"-shaped structure, and the lower part of the bracket 103 is rotatably set on the active seat, which can be rotated and adjusted in the vertical plane. The rotation connection between the bracket 103 and the rotating base 102 can be used as a rotating axis by bolts, and nuts are used for locking and positioning, or the rotation of the bracket 103 and the rotating base 102 can be driven by a motor, which is convenient for realizing network control. The specific structure of the mounting base 1 or the connection between the mounting base 1 and the mounting position can select an existing installation structure according to the actual installation environment, and can be realized by those skilled in the art, such as welding, plug connection, bolt connection, clamp connection, etc.
[0056] The bracket 103 can be detachably and adjustably fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 301 through the locking nut 7. The through hole 1033 can be a countersunk hole structure. The countersunk hole includes a diameter hole and a small diameter hole. The locking nut 7 is located in the large diameter hole. The threaded portion 3011 passes through the small diameter hole and enters the large diameter hole and is fixedly connected to the locking nut 7. The connecting shaft 301 abuts against the outside of the bracket 103. After adjusting the angle, it can be locked by the locking nut 7, and fixing and adjustment are relatively convenient.
[0057] like Figure 4As shown, the bracket 103 is close to a "7" shape, including an upper horizontal frame 1031 and a vertical vertical frame 1032. The horizontal frame 1031 is generally located above the vertical frame 1032, so that the center of gravity is biased to the middle. The through hole 1033 is set on the horizontal frame 1031. After the protective ball shell 3 is installed on the bracket 103, through angle adjustment, the camera monitoring module 2 can be tilted upward to monitor the upper part, and the lighting module 6 can be tilted downward to illuminate the lower part, and the overall center of gravity is biased to the middle. The stability of the mounting base 1 to fix the protective ball shell 3 can be improved, the service life is longer, and the overall appearance is more beautiful, which is suitable for installation and use in scenes such as cities and residential areas.
[0058] The monitoring device can realize data transmission and control through networking technology, which is an existing technology.
