Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of detector protection, and specifically discloses a protection device for an outdoor detector. Background Art

[0002] During the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials, they will be invaded by pests and diseases or affected by adverse environmental conditions, resulting in pest and disease hazards. Taking the subtropical humid climate zone as an example, this climate type has a large annual precipitation and a humid climate, and local Chinese medicinal materials are vulnerable to pest and disease attacks, such as black spot disease, rust disease, etc. Such pest and disease problems will directly affect the yield of local Chinese medicinal materials, leading to a reduction in the supply of medicinal materials, and further affecting the market supply and price fluctuations of Chinese medicinal materials; moreover, the content of active ingredients in Chinese medicinal materials damaged by pests and diseases may also be affected, thereby reducing the quality and efficacy of drugs and affecting human health and safety.

[0003] Currently, the detection of Chinese medicinal material diseases mainly relies on collecting the physical images of Chinese medicinal materials themselves and the surrounding environmental information in the target planting area through a detector, and judging whether there are disease problems in Chinese medicinal materials according to the preset state corresponding to the current growth cycle of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0004] And the detector used to detect Chinese medicinal material diseases is usually located outdoors and will inevitably be washed by rain. At the same time, the detector is equipped with a camera unit, a signal processing unit, a power supply unit, etc. During the detection process, the inside of the detector is prone to heat due to the action of various electronic components. Therefore, for an outdoor detector, it is necessary to consider the problems of waterproof and heat dissipation performance at the same time. However, generally speaking, the higher the waterproof performance of the protection device, due to the sealing performance of the housing, its heat dissipation performance will be correspondingly reduced, and vice versa. How to balance the waterproof performance and heat dissipation performance of the detector protection device to meet the protection requirements of outdoor detectors and thus extend the service life of the detector is an urgent problem to be solved at present. Therefore, in view of this, the present invention provides a protection device for an outdoor detector to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a protection device for an outdoor detector that can balance waterproof performance and heat dissipation performance to meet the protection requirements of outdoor detectors and thus extend the service life of the detector.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the basic solution of the present invention provides a protection device for an outdoor detector, including:

[0011] The camera component of the detector is provided at the detection window, and the electronic components of the detector are in two groups and are respectively provided in the installation cavity and the secondary protection box.

[0012] The principle and effect of this basic solution are as follows:

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention enables the second connection port or the third connection port to be connected to the first connection port by providing a switching component and a connection component. Furthermore, when the external environment has a low humidity and dry air, the electronic components located in the installation cavity are used to connect with the camera component of the detector. In this state, the overall heat dissipation performance requirement of the detector is high, and the waterproof performance requirement is low; when the external environment has a high humidity and low air temperature, the electronic components located inside the secondary protection box are used to connect with the camera component of the detector. In this state, the overall heat dissipation performance requirement of the detector is low, and the waterproof performance requirement is high. This protection method improves the protection effect on the detector, thus meeting the protection requirements of outdoor detectors and extending the service life of the detector.

[0014] Furthermore, it further includes:

[0018] Furthermore, when the electronic components located in the installation cavity are connected to the camera component, the ventilation slots are in a communicating state;

[0019] When the electronic components located inside the secondary protection box are connected to the camera component, the ventilation slots are blocked by the sealing frame.

[0020] When the electronic components located in the installation cavity are connected to the camera component of the detector, the heat dissipation effect is enhanced to adapt to the application environment where the overall heat dissipation performance requirement of the detector is high and the waterproof performance requirement is low; similarly, when the electronic components located inside the secondary protection box are connected to the camera component of the detector, the waterproof effect is enhanced to adapt to the application environment where the overall heat dissipation performance requirement of the detector is low and the waterproof performance requirement is high.

[0029] A magnet disposed on the sliding plate and magnetically adsorbed to the electromagnet when the electromagnet is powered on;

[0030] A first spring disposed between the fixed plate and the sliding plate.

[0031] Furthermore, when the electronic components located in the installation cavity are connected to the camera assembly of the detector, the electromagnet is powered, so as to adsorb with the magnet to drive the sliding plate to move; and when the electronic components located in the installation cavity are disconnected from the camera assembly of the detector, the electromagnet is powered off, and the first spring drives the sliding plate to reset.

[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of guide rods are further disposed on the fixed plate. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the guide rods, and the first spring is a plurality of springs and is respectively sleeved on each guide rod, so as to play a role in limiting and guiding the movement of the sliding plate.

[0033] Furthermore, the plugging mechanism includes:

[0034] A connection interface connected to the fixed plate;

[0035] A connection pin connected to the sliding plate;

[0036] Conductive rings respectively disposed on the inner wall of the connection interface and the outer wall of the connection pin.

[0037] In this setting method, when the distance between the fixed plate and the sliding plate is at the maximum or minimum value, the two plugging mechanisms are electrically connected respectively.

[0046] To play a role in limiting, guiding and assisting in resetting the movement of the sealing frame.

[0053] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific embodiments, structures, features and their effects of the present invention as follows.

[0054] Reference numerals in the accompanying drawings of the specification include: mounting plate 1, box body 2, detection window 3, bottom plate 4, sealing strip 5, temperature and humidity probe 6, connecting plate 7, guide sleeve 8, guide post 9, second spring 10, adjusting plate 11, fixing plate 12, sliding plate 13, guide rod 14, first spring 15, first connection port 16, second connection port 17, plug-in mechanism 18, limit retaining ring 19, electromagnet 20, wedge block 21, wedge plate 22, connection interface 23, connection pin 24, first conductive ring 25, second conductive ring 26.

[0055] A protection device for an outdoor detector, as shown in the embodiment Figure 1 is as follows: It includes a protection box, a connection component and a switching component provided in the protection box. Specifically as follows:

[0056] Protection box: The protection box includes a box body 2, a mounting plate 1 provided on the top of the box body 2, and a bottom plate 4 provided on the bottom of the box body 2. A detection window 3 is provided on the side wall of the box body 2. An installation cavity is provided inside the protection box. A plurality of temperature and humidity probes 6 are provided on the outer wall surface of the protection box. A plurality of ventilation slots are provided on the bottom plate 4. A sealing frame that can block the ventilation slots is slidably connected inside the protection box.

[0057] The connection component includes a first connection port 16 provided inside the protection box, a second connection port 17 and a third connection port that can be respectively connected to the first connection port 16. Among them, the first connection port 16 is connected to the camera unit (lens) of the detector, while the second connection port 17 and the third connection port are connected to various electronic components (PCB board, microprocessor, image sensor, power supply, video encoder, memory, network server, etc.) of the detector. And, there are at least two groups of various electronic components and are respectively connected to the second connection port 17 and the third connection port. Correspondingly, a secondary protection box is also provided inside the protection box. The two groups of various electronic components are respectively installed in the installation cavity and the secondary protection box. Relatively speaking, the various electronic components located in the installation cavity have high heat dissipation performance and poor waterproof performance; while the various electronic components located in the secondary protection box have high waterproof performance and poor heat dissipation performance.

[0058] The switching component includes a fixed plate 12 arranged inside the protection box, a sliding plate 13 slidably connected inside the protection box, a plugging mechanism 18 arranged between the fixed plate 12 and the sliding plate 13, and a driving mechanism for driving the sliding plate 13 to move. Among them, the first connection port 16 is arranged on the fixed plate 12, and the second connection port 17 and the third connection port are respectively arranged on the sliding plate 13.

[0059] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the plugging mechanism 18 includes an interface end and a socket end slidably connected to the interface end. Among them, a plurality of connection interfaces 23 are arranged inside the interface end, and a plurality of connection pins 24 corresponding to the connection interfaces 23 are arranged inside the socket end. A first conductive ring 25 is arranged on the outer wall of the connection pin 24, and a second conductive ring 26 is arranged inside the connection interface 23. In the plugging mechanism 18 connected to the second connection port 17, the second conductive ring 26 inside the connection interface 23 is located on the side close to the fixed plate 12; while in the plugging mechanism 18 connected to the third connection port, the second conductive ring 26 inside the connection interface 23 is located on the side close to the sliding plate 13; the connection pins 24 of the two plugging mechanisms 18 are electrically connected to each other and communicate with the first connection port 16.

[0060] Under this structure, when the sliding plate 13 is located on the side close to the fixed plate 12, the second connection port 17 is connected to the first connection port 16, and when the sliding plate 13 is located on the side far from the fixed plate 12, the third connection port is connected to the first connection port 16.

[0061] The driving mechanism includes an electromagnet 20 arranged on the fixed plate 12, a magnet arranged on the sliding plate 13, and a first spring 15 arranged between the fixed plate 12 and the sliding plate 13. Among them, the electromagnet 20 is powered by electronic components located in the installation cavity; the magnet is magnetically adsorbed to the electromagnet 20 when the electromagnet 20 is energized; a plurality of guide rods 14 are also arranged on the fixed plate 12, the sliding plate 13 is slidably connected to the guide rods 14, the first spring 15 is a plurality of and are respectively sleeved on each guide rod 14, and a limit retaining ring 19 is arranged on the guide rod 14 passing through the sliding plate 13.

[0062] Furthermore, when the electronic components located in the installation cavity are connected to the camera component of the detector and the electromagnet 20 is powered at the same time, they are magnetically adsorbed to the magnet to drive the sliding plate 13 to move; and when the electronic components located in the installation cavity are disconnected from the camera component of the detector, the electromagnet 20 is powered off, and the first spring 15 drives the sliding plate 13 to reset.

[0063] The sealing frame includes a plurality of sealing strips 5 and a connecting plate 7 that connects the sealing strips 5 to each other. A guiding component is provided between the connecting plate 7 and the inner top of the protective box. The guiding component includes a guide post 9 connected to the inner top of the protective box, a guiding sleeve 8 provided on the connecting plate 7 and slidably connected to the guide post 9, and a second spring 10 provided between the guiding sleeve 8 and the guide post 9. An adjusting plate 11 is provided between the two guide posts 9. As Figure 3 shown, a wedge-shaped block 21 is provided at the bottom of the adjusting plate 11, and a wedge-shaped plate 22 adapted to the wedge-shaped block 21 is provided at the bottom of the sliding plate 13.

[0064] While switching the connection between the second connection port 17 or the third connection port and the first connection port 16, the switching component also switches the state of the ventilation slot between connection and sealing to adapt to different usage scenarios. In this embodiment, when the electronic component located in the installation cavity is connected to the camera component, the ventilation slot is in a connected state, and the second spring 10 is in a compressed state; when the electronic component located in the secondary protection box is connected to the camera component, the ventilation slot is blocked by the sealing frame.

[0065] In the temperature and humidity probe 6 located on the outer wall of the protective box, part is connected to the electronic component located in the installation cavity, and part is connected to the electronic component located in the secondary protection box. The temperature and humidity probe 6 is used to detect the external environment, so as to judge whether it is rainy outside. Relatively speaking, in rainy days, the overall heat dissipation performance requirement of the detector is low, and the waterproof performance requirement is high; while in sunny days, the overall heat dissipation performance requirement of the detector is high, and the waterproof performance requirement is low.

[0066] When the temperature and humidity probe 6 detects that it is rainy outside, the microprocessor of the detector controls the electromagnet 20 to be powered off, so that the first spring 15 drives the sliding plate 13 to reset, and the third connection port is connected to the first connection port 16, so as to achieve the purpose of connecting the electronic component located inside the secondary protection box to the camera component of the detector. At the same time, during the reset process of the sliding plate 13, the wedge-shaped plate 22 releases the restriction on the wedge-shaped block 21, so that the second spring 10 pushes the sealing frame to move and block the ventilation slot.

[0067] By setting the switching component and the connecting component, the second connection port 17 or the third connection port is connected to the first connection port 16. Furthermore, when the external environment humidity is low and the air is relatively dry, the electronic component located in the installation cavity is used to connect to the camera component of the detector. In this state, the overall heat dissipation performance requirement of the detector is high, and the waterproof performance requirement is low; when the external environment humidity is high and the air temperature is low, the electronic component located inside the secondary protection box is used to connect to the camera component of the detector. In this state, the overall heat dissipation performance requirement of the detector is low, and the waterproof performance requirement is high. This protection method improves the protection effect on the detector, meets the protection requirements of outdoor detectors, and prolongs the service life of the detector.

[0068] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present invention, any indirect modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
