A sliding groove is formed on the side of the fixed plate closest to the graphic acquisition device, and a sliding plate is installed within the groove. The sliding plate is fixedly connected to the graphic acquisition device. A fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate furthest from the graphic acquisition device. This intelligent traffic condition information collection device, belonging to the field of road traffic technology, facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the graphic acquisition device and allows for adjustment of the monitoring direction according to actual needs, further enhancing its practicality and convenience.

[0004] The aforementioned patent belongs to the field of road traffic technology. It facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the image acquisition device and allows for adjustment of the monitoring direction of the image acquisition device according to actual needs, further facilitating practical use and improving convenience. However, when the camera device rotates to capture images of the road, the front and rear sides of the camera device may collide with large foreign objects, affecting the rotation of the camera device. If the rotation speed is too fast, the camera device may violently collide with foreign objects, causing damage to the camera device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an intelligent traffic condition information collection device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: an intelligent traffic condition information collection device, including a support frame, a fixed plate fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, a rotating shaft rotatably installed on the top of the fixed plate, a camera device fixedly installed on the top of the rotating shaft, and a protective device also provided on the top of the fixed plate;

[0007] The protective device includes a sliding plate, a protective plate, a telescopic rod, a rotating plate, a short rod, a Z-shaped rod, a ring, a sliding rod, a buckle, and a limiting block. The sliding plate is slidably installed on the left side of the camera device, and the protective plate is fixedly installed on the right side of the sliding plate. The telescopic rod is hinged to the top of the fixed plate, and the rotating plate is rotatably installed on the top of the telescopic rod. One end of the short rod is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating plate, and the other end is fixedly installed on the bottom of the sliding plate. The Z-shaped rod is slidably installed on the circumference of the rotating shaft, and the ring is slidably installed on the circumference of the rotating shaft. The sliding rod is slidably installed on the top of the fixed plate, the buckle is rotatably installed on the top of the fixed plate, and the limiting block is slidably installed on the top of the fixed plate. When the protective plate is subjected to an impact force and moves towards the camera device, the movement of the protective plate will squeeze the Z-shaped rod downwards, thus releasing the limiting effect on the buckle. This allows the buckle to rotate and limit the rotation of the rotating shaft, preventing the rotating shaft from driving the camera device to continue rotating and causing the camera device to be squeezed and deformed. Deformation of the camera device's outer shell may affect the normal operation of the camera device and impact normal road condition data collection.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, a first spring is provided between the sliding plate and the protective plate. The first spring is provided to absorb the impact force on the protective plate to avoid affecting the camera device. A first torsion spring is provided between the buckle and the fixing plate. The first torsion spring is provided to push the buckle to rotate and limit the rotation shaft. A circular hole is opened on the circumferential surface of the rotation shaft. The shape of the circular hole matches the buckle.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the Z-shaped rod has an inclined surface on the side near the sliding plate and the side near the protective plate. The inclined surface of the Z-shaped rod is to facilitate the downward sliding of the Z-shaped rod when the protective plate and the sliding plate are close to each other. The inclined surface of the sliding rod on the side near the ring is to facilitate the movement of the sliding rod when the ring slides downward. The buckle has a square groove on the side near the limiting block, and the limiting block contacts the inner wall of the square groove. The inclined surface of the sliding rod on the side near the limiting block is to facilitate the movement of the limiting block.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the top of the fixed plate is also equipped with a cleaning device and a waterproofing device. The cleaning device includes a sliding block, a rotating rod, a sliding scraper, a sliding rack, a small gear, a large gear, and two rotating scrapers. The sliding scraper is slidably installed on the front side of the camera device. One end of the rotating rod is rotatably installed on the front side of the sliding scraper. The sliding block is rotatably installed on the other end of the rotating rod. The sliding rack is slidably installed on the side of the camera device away from the sliding scraper. The small gear is rotatably installed on the side of the camera device away from the sliding scraper. The large gear is rotatably installed on the side of the camera device away from the sliding scraper. Both rotating scrapers are fixedly installed on the side of the large gear and small gear away from the camera device. The sliding rack drives the large gear to rotate, the large gear to rotate, and the rotation of the small gear and large gear drives the rotating scrapers to rotate. This cleans the heat dissipation vents of the camera device to prevent external impurities from adhering to the vents and causing blockages, which would prevent the camera device from dissipating heat properly. Inability to dissipate heat properly may cause the internal temperature of the camera device to become too high, affecting the normal operation of the camera device.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, the large gear and the small gear mesh with each other, the sliding rack meshes with the large gear, the sliding block contacts the sliding plate, and the side of the sliding rack near the sliding plate is set as an inclined surface. The inclined surface of the sliding rack is provided to facilitate the sliding plate to push the sliding rack to slide when it slides.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the waterproof device includes a triangular plate, a filter plate, a water storage tank, a water baffle, a water storage container, a connecting rod, and a sliding plate. The triangular plate is fixedly installed on the top of the camera device, the water storage tank is fixedly installed on the top of the camera device, the filter plate is fixedly installed on the top of the water storage tank, the water storage container is fixedly installed on the side of the camera device near the sliding scraper, the sliding plate is slidably installed at the bottom of the water storage container, one end of the connecting rod is rotatably installed at the bottom of the sliding plate, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably installed at the top of the sliding scraper. Rainwater will slowly flow out from inside the water storage container to rinse the lens of the camera device, preventing impurities from adhering too tightly to the lens of the camera device, which would prevent the sliding scraper from scraping them off properly and affecting the normal information acquisition of the camera device.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, the waterproof device further includes a water baffle, a long rod, and a water blocking plate. The water baffle is rotatably installed on the side of the camera device away from the water storage tank. The long rod is slidably installed on the inner wall of the water baffle. The water blocking plate is slidably installed on the inner wall of the water baffle. The water baffle will rotate due to the weight of the rainwater. The rotation of the water baffle will seal the heat dissipation vent of the camera device, preventing rainwater from entering the camera device through the heat dissipation vent, causing a short circuit in the internal circuit of the camera device, affecting the normal operation of the camera device, and preventing the camera device from collecting information normally.

[0014] According to the above technical solution, the bottom of the baffle plate is provided with a water outlet, and the inner wall of the baffle plate is provided with a drain outlet on the side near the long rod. A second torsion spring is provided between the baffle plate and the camera device to drive the baffle plate back to its original position. A square groove is provided on the top of the water storage tank, and the square groove extends through the bottom of the water storage tank. A second spring is provided between the long rod and the inner wall of the baffle plate to drive the long rod back to its original position. A water leakage groove is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank, and a flow control valve is provided at the top of the water leakage groove to control the flow rate of water discharge and prevent rainwater from leaking out all at once.

[0015] This invention provides an intelligent traffic condition information collection device. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) In this invention, when the moving plate moves, it will drive the short rod to move. The movement of the short rod will drive the rotating plate to rotate. Since the center of rotation of the rotating plate is different from the center of rotation of the camera device, the short rod will push the right sliding plate to slide towards the front of the camera device and the left sliding plate to slide towards the rear. The sliding of the sliding plate during rotation can protect the front and rear sides of the camera device, preventing the camera device from hitting heavy objects during rotation and causing damage to the camera device, thus preventing the camera device from operating normally. When the protective plate is subjected to impact force and moves towards the camera device, the movement of the protective plate will squeeze the Z-shaped rod to slide downward, thus canceling the limit of the buckle and causing the buckle to rotate to limit the rotating shaft, preventing the rotating shaft from driving the camera device to continue to rotate and causing the camera device to be squeezed and deformed. The deformation of the camera device shell may affect the normal operation of the camera device and affect the normal road condition collection.

[0017] (2) In this invention, when the right sliding plate slides towards the front of the camera device, it will contact the sliding block. The sliding block will be pushed by the sliding plate to move away from the camera device. The movement of the sliding block will pull the rotating rod to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod will pull the sliding scraper to clean the lens of the camera device, so as to prevent external impurities from adhering to the lens of the camera device and causing obstruction of the camera device, so that the camera device cannot collect road conditions normally. The sliding rack will drive the large gear to rotate, the large gear will drive the small gear to rotate, and the rotation of the small gear and the large gear will drive the rotating scraper to rotate, cleaning the heat dissipation port of the camera device, preventing external impurities from adhering to the heat dissipation port and causing blockage of the heat dissipation port, so that the camera device cannot dissipate heat normally. The inability of the camera device to dissipate heat normally may cause the internal temperature of the camera device to be too high, which will affect the normal operation of the camera device.

[0018] (3) In this invention, when the sliding scraper slides, it will pull the connecting rod to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod will pull the sliding plate to slide. The sliding plate will release the limit on the water leakage channel. Then the rainwater will slowly flow out from the inside of the water storage tank to wash the lens of the camera device. This will prevent the lens of the camera device from being too tightly attached to the impurities, which would prevent the sliding scraper from scraping them off properly and affecting the normal information collection of the camera device. When the external rainwater is too heavy, the flow rate of the rainwater entering the baffle will exceed the flow rate of the rainwater discharge. Then the rainwater inside the baffle will be full. The baffle will be pressed by the weight of the rainwater and rotate. The rotation of the baffle will seal the heat dissipation port of the camera device, preventing rainwater from entering the camera device through the heat dissipation port and causing a short circuit in the internal circuit of the camera device, affecting the normal operation of the camera device and preventing the camera device from collecting information normally.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-7 One embodiment of the present invention is: an intelligent traffic condition information collection device, including a support frame 1, a fixed plate 2 fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 1, a rotating shaft 3 rotatably installed on the top of the fixed plate 2, a camera device 4 fixedly installed on the top of the rotating shaft 3, and a protective device on the top of the fixed plate 2.

[0029] The protective device includes a sliding plate 401, a protective plate 402, a telescopic rod 403, a rotating plate 404, a short rod 405, a Z-shaped rod 406, a ring 407, a sliding rod 408, a buckle 409, and a limiting block 410. The sliding plate 401 is slidably mounted on the left side of the camera device 4, the protective plate 402 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the sliding plate 401, the telescopic rod 403 is hinged to the top of the fixed plate 2, the rotating plate 404 is rotatably mounted on the top of the telescopic rod 403, one end of the short rod 405 is fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating plate 404, and the other end of the short rod 405 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the sliding plate 401. The Z-shaped rod 406 is slidably mounted on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 3, and the ring 407 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the rotating plate 401. Mounted on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 3, the sliding rod 408 is slidably mounted on the top of the fixed plate 2, the buckle 409 is rotatably mounted on the top of the fixed plate 2, and the limiting block 410 is slidably mounted on the top of the fixed plate 2. When the protective plate 402 is subjected to an impact force and moves towards the camera device 4, the movement of the protective plate 402 will squeeze the Z-shaped rod 406 to slide downward, thus canceling the limiting of the buckle 409. This allows the buckle 409 to rotate and limit the rotating shaft 3, preventing the rotating shaft 3 from driving the camera device 4 to continue rotating and causing the camera device 4 to be squeezed and deformed. Deformation of the camera device 4's outer shell may affect the normal operation of the camera device 4 and affect normal road condition collection.

[0030] A spring is provided between the sliding plate 401 and the protective plate 402. The spring is provided to absorb the impact force on the protective plate 402 to avoid affecting the camera device 4. A torsion spring is provided between the buckle 409 and the fixing plate 2. The torsion spring is provided to push the buckle 409 to rotate and limit the rotation shaft 3. A circular hole is provided on the circumferential surface of the rotation shaft 3, and the shape of the circular hole matches the buckle 409.

[0031] The Z-shaped rod 406 has an inclined surface on the side near the sliding plate 401 and the side near the protective plate 402. The inclined surface of the Z-shaped rod 406 is designed to facilitate the downward sliding of the Z-shaped rod 406 when the protective plate 402 and the sliding plate 401 are close to each other. The sliding rod 408 has an inclined surface on the side near the ring 407. The inclined surface of the sliding rod 408 on the side near the ring 407 is designed to facilitate the downward sliding of the ring 407 and the movement of the sliding rod 408. The buckle 409 has a square groove on the side near the limiting block 410. The limiting block 410 contacts the inner wall of the square groove. The inclined surface of the sliding rod 408 on the side near the limiting block 410 is designed to facilitate the movement of the limiting block 410.

[0032] In this embodiment, during operation, the camera device 4 can rotate left and right via the rotating shaft 3 to collect information about the captured road conditions. When the camera device 4 rotates to the right, it causes the sliding plate 401 to rotate to the right. The movement of the sliding plate 401 causes the short rod 405 to move, which in turn causes the rotating plate 404 to rotate. Since the center of rotation of the rotating plate 404 is different from the center of rotation of the camera device 4, the short rod 405 pushes the right sliding plate 401 to slide towards the front of the camera device 4. The sliding of the right sliding plate 401 causes the protective plate 402 to move, protecting the right front side of the protective plate 402. Meanwhile, the left sliding plate 401 is pushed by the short rod 405 to slide towards the rear of the camera device 4, protecting the left rear side of the camera device 4. For protection, when the camera device 4 collides with a large object during rotation, the protective plate 402 will be moved towards the camera device 4 by the impact force. The movement of the protective plate 402 will squeeze the Z-shaped rod 406 to slide downward. The downward sliding of the Z-shaped rod 406 will push the ring 407 to slide downward. The sliding of the ring 407 will push the sliding rod 408 to slide towards the buckle 409. Then the sliding rod 408 will contact the inclined surface of the limiting block 410. The sliding rod 408 will push the limiting block 410 to move away from the buckle 409. Then the limiting block 410 will release the limiting of the buckle 409. When the limiting of the buckle 409 is released, the buckle 409 will be driven by the first torsion spring to rotate towards the rotating shaft 3, preventing the camera device 4 from continuing to rotate and avoiding damage to the camera device 4.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-7Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, the top of the fixed plate 2 is further provided with a cleaning device and a waterproofing device. The cleaning device includes a sliding block 501, a rotating rod 502, a sliding scraper 503, a sliding rack 504, a small gear 505, a large gear 506, and two rotating scrapers 507. The sliding scraper 503 is slidably mounted on the front side of the camera device 4. One end of the rotating rod 502 is rotatably mounted on the front side of the sliding scraper 503. The sliding block 501 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the rotating rod 502. The sliding rack 504 is slidably mounted on the side of the camera device 4 away from the sliding scraper 503. The small gear 505 is rotatably mounted on the side of the camera device 4 away from the sliding scraper 503. Gear 506 is rotatably mounted on the side of camera device 4 away from sliding scraper 503. Two rotating scrapers 507 are fixedly mounted on the side of large gear 506 and small gear 505 away from camera device 4. The sliding rack 504 drives large gear 506 to rotate, which in turn drives small gear 505 to rotate. The rotation of small gear 505 and large gear 506 drives rotating scraper 507 to rotate, cleaning the heat dissipation vents of camera device 4 to prevent external impurities from adhering to the vents and causing blockage, which would prevent camera device 4 from dissipating heat properly. If camera device 4 cannot dissipate heat properly, the internal temperature of camera device 4 may become too high, affecting the normal operation of camera device 4.

[0034] The large gear 506 meshes with the small gear 505, the sliding rack 504 meshes with the large gear 506, the sliding block 501 contacts the sliding plate 401, and the side of the sliding rack 504 near the sliding plate 401 is set as an inclined surface. The inclined surface of the sliding rack 504 is provided to facilitate the sliding plate 401 to push the sliding rack 504 to slide when it slides.

[0035] The waterproof device includes a triangular plate 601, a filter plate 602, a water storage tank 603, a water baffle 604, a water storage container 605, a connecting rod 606, and a sliding plate 607. The triangular plate 601 is fixedly installed on the top of the camera device 4, the water storage tank 603 is fixedly installed on the top of the camera device 4, the filter plate 602 is fixedly installed on the top of the water storage tank 603, the water storage container 605 is fixedly installed on the side of the camera device 4 near the sliding scraper 503, the sliding plate 607 is slidably installed on the bottom of the water storage container 605, one end of the connecting rod 606 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the sliding plate 607, and the other end of the connecting rod 606 is rotatably installed on the top of the sliding scraper 503. Rainwater will slowly flow out from inside the water storage container 605 to rinse the mirror surface of the camera device 4, preventing impurities from adhering too tightly to the lens of the camera device 4, which would prevent the sliding scraper 503 from scraping them off properly and affecting the normal information acquisition of the camera device 4.

[0036] The waterproof device also includes a water baffle 604, a long rod 608, and a water blocking plate 609. The water baffle 604 is rotatably installed on the side of the camera device 4 away from the water storage tank 605. The long rod 608 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the water baffle 604, and the water blocking plate 609 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the water baffle 604. The water baffle 604 will rotate due to the weight of the rainwater. The rotation of the water baffle 604 will seal the heat dissipation port of the camera device 4, preventing rainwater from entering the camera device 4 through the heat dissipation port, causing a short circuit in the internal circuit of the camera device 4, affecting the normal operation of the camera device 4, and preventing the camera device 4 from collecting information normally.

[0037] A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the baffle plate 604, and a drain outlet is provided on the inner wall of the baffle plate 604 near the long rod 608. A second torsion spring is provided between the baffle plate 604 and the camera device 4 to drive the baffle plate 604 back to its original position. A square groove is provided at the top of the water storage tank 605, and the square groove passes through the bottom of the water storage tank 603. A second spring is provided between the long rod 608 and the inner wall of the baffle plate 604 to drive the long rod 608 back to its original position. A water leakage groove is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 605, and a flow control valve is provided at the top of the water leakage groove to control the flow rate of water discharge and prevent rainwater from leaking out all at once.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the camera device 4 rotates, it causes the sliding plate 401 to slide. When the right sliding plate 401 slides towards the front of the camera device 4, the left sliding plate 401 slides towards the rear of the camera device 4. When the right sliding plate 401 slides towards the front of the camera device 4, it will contact the sliding block 501. The sliding block 501 will then be pushed by the sliding plate 401 to move away from the camera device 4. The movement of the sliding block 501 will pull the rotating rod 502 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 502 will pull the sliding scraper 5. 03. The sliding plate 401 on the left moves toward the rear of the camera device 4 and contacts the inclined surface of the sliding rack 504. The sliding rack 504 is then pushed by the sliding plate 401 on the left to slide toward the right side of the camera device 4. The sliding rack 504 will drive the large gear 506 to rotate. The rotation of the large gear 506 will drive the small gear 505 to rotate. The rotation of the small gear 505 and the large gear 506 will drive the rotating scraper 507 to rotate, thus cleaning the heat dissipation vents of the camera device 4.

[0039] When it rains outside the camera device 4, rainwater falls onto the surface of the triangular plate 601. The rainwater slides across the surface of the triangular plate 601 to the surface of the filter plate 602 for filtration. Finally, the filtered rainwater enters the water storage tank 603. After entering the water storage tank 603, the rainwater flows through a square channel into the water storage tank 605 for collection. When the sliding scraper 503 slides, it pulls the connecting rod 606 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod 606 pulls the sliding plate 607 to slide. The sliding plate 607 releases the limit on the drainage channel, and the rainwater slowly flows out from the water storage tank 605 to wash the mirror surface of the camera device 4. When it rains outside the camera device 4, some rainwater also flows through the water storage tank 603 into the water baffle 604. Rainwater from plate 604 will be discharged through the drain and outlet. When the external rainwater is too heavy, the flow rate of rainwater entering the baffle plate 604 will exceed the flow rate of rainwater discharge. Then, the baffle plate 604 will be filled with rainwater, and the weight of the rainwater will cause the baffle plate 604 to rotate. The rotation of the baffle plate 604 will drive the long rod 608 to rotate. The inclined surface of the long rod 608 will contact the water storage tank 603 and push the long rod 608 to slide towards the drain. The sliding of the long rod 608 will push the water blocking plate 609 to slide. The sliding of the water blocking plate 609 will seal the drain and reduce the speed of rainwater discharge. The rotation of the baffle plate 604 will seal the heat dissipation port of the camera device 4 to prevent rainwater from entering the camera device 4 through the heat dissipation port.

[0040] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
