[0002] With the development of technologies such as in-vehicle driver assistance systems, drones, security surveillance, and intelligent robots, the requirements for lens cleanliness and image quality in various outdoor imaging devices are constantly increasing. In actual use, camera lenses often become blurred due to attachments such as rain, dust, and oil, leading to recognition failures, affecting system stability and even posing safety risks.

[0003] Existing lens cleaning methods mainly include: 1. Manual cleaning: such as wiping, blowing, and spraying, which rely on human operation, have low efficiency and limited frequency; 2.

[0026] Example 2 Reference Figure 4-Figure 8 A self-cleaning method for a spin-cleaning lens structure based on a micro electromagnetic turbine comprises the following steps: Step 1: Build a magnetic induction rotation system; The magnetic induction rotation system in step 1 includes: first, setting up at least three sets of electromagnetic coils 6, distributed in a ring around the interior of the lens housing, to form a variable circumferential magnetic field; then, embedding magnetic material in the magnetic drive ring 1 to form a rotating assembly that can be affected by magnetic force; finally, controlling the electromagnetic coils 6 to be excited in a set sequence by a microcontroller, forming a continuously rotating magnetic field, driving the lens rotating base 3 to rotate about its axis; The rotating mirror magnetic induction system is based on three sets of electromagnetic coils and six arrays, and also includes: a1. Scenario Setting and Parameter Assumptions: Simplified system model: Three sets of electromagnetic coils 6 are installed on the inner wall of the lens housing, arranged at equal intervals of 120° along the circumference; a NdFeB permanent magnet is installed in the magnetic drive ring 1; the permanent magnet is magnetized in the radial direction; the total mass of the T-shaped glass 4 is m = 8.5g, and the radius r = 20mm; the drive frequency is set to 60Hz; The microcontroller MCU controls the coil to energize in the order of A→B→C→A, and each time lasts , forming a "clockwise" torque pulse, each set of electromagnetic coils 6 rated current , number of turns , core radius 5mm; a2. Step calculation and estimation: The magnetic field generated by electromagnetic induction is calculated as follows: ,in is the vacuum permeability constant, which is , that is, when the electromagnetic coil 6 is excited, a magnetic induction intensity of about 12.1mT can be formed on the axis of the magnetic core; The driving torque of the permanent magnet is estimated by the following formula: ,in, ; , ; ; Estimation of angular acceleration of rotating lens: moment of inertia: Angular acceleration: ; Speed ​​estimation: .

[0027] In practice, due to friction, air resistance and hysteresis loss, the steady-state speed will be in the range of 3000-5000rpm, but the system has the ability to spin quickly; by alternately energizing and driving three sets of coils, combined with an embedded permanent magnet ring, the lens assembly can reach a rotation speed of 3000+rpm within 0.1 seconds, achieving efficient cleaning under strong centrifugal force.

[0028] Step 2: Trigger cleaning mode; Triggering the cleaning mode in step 2 includes: through external sensors or timing logic, the external sensor uses image blur detection and raindrop sensors to determine whether there are water droplets, dust or oil on the lens surface; if it is determined that the cleaning conditions are met, the control module starts the cleaning process and provides a pulse excitation signal to the electromagnetic coil 6; the lens assembly generates a rotational torque under the action of the magnetic field and enters the cleaning state.

[0029] Specific examples of triggered cleaning mode: Spin lens cleaning process triggered by image blur detection; Scenario setup; Assume the following target system parameters: Lens model: a 720p automotive wide-angle camera; Image sensor: supports 30 frames per second; Control system image acquisition frequency: 1 frame / 0.1 second; Image blur detection algorithm: uses Laplace variance Var as the clarity indicator; Clarity threshold setting: Var < 120 is considered blurry; Environmental simulation: Raindrops remain on the mirror surface, causing partial blur in the image, and Var drops to 65; Controller chip: STM32, ARM, or Huawei HiSilicon microcontroller; Electromagnetic turbine response delay: 5ms; Cleaning mode operation time: 150ms. Specific steps and operation process; b1. Image blur detection triggers cleaning judgment; Current image Var = 65 < threshold 120 → Trigger cleaning condition; the control module continuously detects 3 frames for 0.3 seconds and confirms that the blur is continuous pollution rather than occasional jitter; the cleaning logic determines "perform one cleaning action"; b2. Start the electromagnetic turbine cleaning process; The control module sends continuous pulse drive signals to the three groups of coil arrays; each group of coils works for t = 5.5ms; the excitation is rotated: A → B → C → A; the total cleaning cycle is set to 3 complete cycles ≈ 3 × 3 × 5.5ms = 49.5ms; b3. Rotate the lens to achieve effective cleaning state; The lens speed can reach >3000rpm within 100ms; after maintaining high-speed rotation for 100ms, the soft stop mechanism is executed and the coil is no longer excited; the total time for cleaning the window is approximately: detection 0.3s + drive control 0.05s + stable cleaning 0.1s = a complete cleaning within 0.45 seconds; the performance results of the image cleaning system are analyzed as follows Figure 4 shown.

[0030] Step 3: Centrifugal cleaning is performed; The centrifugal rotation cleaning in step three includes: the lens assembly is driven to rotate to a set speed range of 1000-4000rpm, forming a strong centrifugal field; liquid, dust particles, etc. on the mirror surface are thrown off the lens surface under the action of centrifugal force; a hydrophobic or oleophobic coating is provided on the lens surface, which significantly reduces liquid adhesion and further improves cleaning efficiency.

[0031] Estimation of the cleaning power of a rotating lens against water droplets and dust particles at 4000 rpm; like Figure 5 Scenario settings and key parameter assumptions shown; c1. Calculation of centrifugal acceleration; The formula for centrifugal force is: ;in is the lens rotation radius, set to 0.02m; is the lens rotation speed, set to 4000 rpm (rotations per minute), converted to 418.88 rad / s (radians per second); is the droplet mass, set to 0.5 mg ( ); c2. Compare adhesion and centrifugal force; the formula for droplet adhesion is: ; The formula for centrifugal force is: ; It turns out that: ; c3. Quantification of the improvement of the hydrophobic coating effect; After the hydrophobic coating, the contact angle increases → the adhesion decreases → the actual critical centrifugal acceleration decreases; ; This formula is a calculation process of surface energy ratio and adhesion estimation, where is the surface energy of the uncoated (bare) surface, is the surface energy of the coated surface, is the adhesion of the coating surface; Compare again: ; After using the hydrophobic coating, droplets are easier to throw out, and the cleaning efficiency is increased by more than 4 times; Cleaning efficiency conclusion: Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning efficiency conclusion is compared between uncoated and hydrophobic coating; Dust particle expansion analysis; dust mass estimation: ; Particle adsorption force (electrostatic + microstructure): ; Centrifugal force: ; Structure: Centrifugal force is still far greater than adhesive force, so dust particles can also be removed. At a speed of 3000-4000rpm, the rotating lens can effectively remove droplets and dust through centrifugal force. The hydrophobic / oleophobic coating will further significantly improve cleaning efficiency. In actual operation, a cleaning cycle takes only 50-150ms, which can quickly restore lens clarity and is suitable for continuous high-frequency operation scenarios. Step 4: Terminate and reset; The termination and reset in step 4 include: stopping electromagnetic excitation after reaching the set cleaning time or detecting the cleaning completion mark; the lens assembly gradually stops rotating under the action of inertia and enters a static state; setting a magnetic limit or flexible damping device so that the lens can automatically return to its original position and maintain the original optical alignment.

[0032] The natural stop and magnetic limit return after the spin lens cleaning task is completed, such as the automatic return mechanism: magnetic limit slot adsorption correction estimation; The system is equipped with permanent magnetic adsorption positioning sites such as weak NdFeB alignment magnets; after the lens assembly stops, the angular velocity is extremely low <5rad / s, entering the magnetic guidance adsorption range; three equidistant magnetic limit adsorption areas of 120° are set in each circle, and the adsorption range is about ±10°; when the residual rotation angle of the lens enters the magnetic field, the magnetic torque generates a guiding torque; which is greater than the static resistance torque and can drive the rotating bracket to rotate slightly to complete the return, usually taking <300ms; if a circle of silicone / TPU elastic limit ring is designed: the lens will deform slightly after contact to absorb kinetic energy; provide micro-damping stable support at the final static position; prevent eccentric imaging due to vibration or deflection; such as Figure 7 The cleaning termination process timing chart shown; Summary and actual results: Without additional drive, the lens can naturally stop and complete automatic return within 4 seconds. The combination of magnetic limit + elastic adsorption structure ensures that the end position of the lens is consistent with the initial optical center. No external sensor is required to achieve low-cost, high-precision return operation. Step 5: Environmental adaptation and intelligent control; Environmental adaptation and intelligent control in step five include: the system adjusts the cleaning frequency and rotation parameters according to different usage scenarios; the control system supports remote commands, environmental linkage or AI image recognition algorithms to trigger the cleaning process; and the cleaning status, operation frequency and other data are uploaded to the host computer or cloud platform through the communication interface.

[0033] The electromagnetic turbine is used to achieve contactless drive of the rotating lens, eliminating the complex structures of traditional motors, gears, bearings, etc., effectively reducing the system volume and the risk of mechanical wear, and is suitable for miniaturized or enclosed lens equipment; The rotating mirror generates strong centrifugal force at high speeds of 1000-4000rpm, which can effectively remove raindrops, oil stains, dust particles and other pollutants on the mirror surface. Combined with the hydrophobic / oleophobic coating, it improves cleaning efficiency and achieves consumable-free and fast cleaning. Supports multiple control methods, including timing control, image blur detection trigger, environmental sensor raindrop, and lighting linkage control. It can automatically respond to actual environmental changes, reduce human intervention, and enhance the intelligence level of the system. The sealing structure of the present invention, including a flexible sealing ring and a sealing groove, can effectively prevent water vapor and dust from penetrating into the interior of the lens, thereby improving the operating stability and life of the device in complex environments such as high humidity, high dust, and high-pressure water impact; The rotating lens and bracket adopt a modular design, which is easy to disassemble and replace. The electromagnetic drive module can adapt to a variety of lens sizes and structures. It is suitable for various application scenarios such as vehicle-mounted cameras, drone vision modules, industrial cameras, outdoor security monitoring, etc.

[0034] It is used in forward-facing cameras, surround-view cameras, side blind spot cameras and other parts of intelligent connected cars and autonomous driving systems to achieve automatic lens cleaning and image stability in rainy and snowy environments; it is integrated into drone gimbal cameras, monitoring flight platforms, and unmanned helicopter vision systems to effectively improve image acquisition clarity and task completion efficiency under complex climatic conditions; it is used in outdoor surveillance cameras on highways, urban roads, ports, factory areas, mining areas, etc. to ensure long-term clean operation of lenses in all-weather, unmanned conditions; it is configured in machine vision equipment, robot vision modules, intelligent detection terminals and other occasions on industrial production lines to effectively reduce the impact of lens contamination on detection accuracy and improve system stability; it is used in optical imaging equipment in harsh or highly corrosive environments such as ship monitoring, offshore wind power inspection, underwater robots, desert / ice and snow monitoring; it can be further expanded to smart doorbells, smart cat eyes, robot head cameras and other products according to the requirements of structural miniaturization and low power consumption, to realize the automatic lens decontamination function of portable terminals.
