Among them, in this embodiment, the camera is aligned with the cleaning port 107b through the pan-tilt for cleaning operations. The air inhaled through the air inlet 107c is filtered by the filter 107f disposed between the housing 107a and the cleaning port 107b to prevent dust and oil from entering the cleaning system and ensure clean air flow.
[0047] Operation process: When the trolley reaches the commutation point along the predetermined path, the commutation device detects the arrival position of the trolley through the built-in sensor. After the commutation device confirms the arrival of the trolley, it guides the trolley to stop in the preset cleaning area. The driving pan-tilt of the trolley adjusts the camera to the alignment position with the cleaning member to ensure that the camera can fully enter the cleaning assembly. The cleaning member starts the water gun nozzle to spray an appropriate amount of high-pressure water flow to wash the surface of the camera lens, removing the attached dust, oil and other pollutants. After the water gun washing is completed, the cleaning member starts the high-pressure gas nozzle to quickly blow off the residual moisture on the lens surface with a strong air flow to ensure that the lens surface is clean and dry. After the cleaning operation is completed, the commutation device starts the guide rail or the electric mechanism to smoothly guide the trolley to the adjacent wall surface.
[0048] Beneficial effects: The cleaning device cleans the omnidirectional camera to ensure that the monitoring effect is not affected by dust and oil.
