[0027] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 7The present invention provides the following technical solutions: a remote monitoring device for a metering box, comprising a monitoring device body, the monitoring device body comprising a box body 1, a locking mechanism 5, a driving mechanism 6 and a video monitoring communication component 7, the front end of the box body 1 is hinged with a box door 2, a telescopic sleeve 4 is welded to one side of the box body 1, a guide groove 27 is opened inside the telescopic sleeve 4, a locking mechanism 5 is installed inside the guide groove 27, a driving mechanism 6 is installed in the middle of the telescopic sleeve 4, the bottom of the driving mechanism 6 is connected to a swing rod 8, the video monitoring communication component 7 is provided with a plurality of locking mechanisms. The communication assembly 7 is mounted at the end of the swinging rod 8, and a video surveillance module 11 is screwed to the middle of the video surveillance communication assembly 7. A fixing plate 18 is welded to the top of the box body 1, and an arc-shaped rack 19 is integrally formed on the top of the fixing plate 18. There are two fixing plates 18 and two arc-shaped racks 19. The driving mechanism 6 simultaneously controls the operation of the locking mechanism 5 and the video surveillance communication assembly 7. The end of the locking mechanism 5 is equipped with a pressing column 30. The surface of the box door 2 is embedded with a light-transmitting plate, and the pressing column 30 is used to abut against the surface of the box door 2. This monitoring device is used to remotely monitor the meter box body and the position of the person at the front when opening the meter box.

[0029] When the present invention is in use, the video surveillance communication component 7 at the bottom is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism 6 on the side, so that the position of the video surveillance module 11 can be changed, and the video surveillance module 11 can always face the position of the box 1 for image acquisition through the positioning magnetic structure at the rear end. Therefore, when the position of the video surveillance module 11 is changed by the driving mechanism 6, real-time monitoring of the bottom, front and top surfaces of the box 1 can be directly provided, and after the video surveillance module 11 moves to the top, it can cooperate with the arc-shaped rack 19 to rotate, and finally realize the monitoring and processing of the front control area of ​​the box 1. During the process of the driving mechanism 6 controlling the video surveillance communication component 7, it can also drive the locking mechanism 5 to operate, so that the locking mechanism 5 can move horizontally to change the support point of the box door 2, and finally control whether the box door 2 can be opened.

[0030] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 6 includes a motor 26, a drive shaft 32, and a driving gear 34. A first end plate 23 is integrally formed on the surface of the telescopic sleeve 4, and a transmission slot 22 is defined at the top of the telescopic sleeve 4. An extension frame 24 is welded to the side of the telescopic sleeve 4, and a second end plate 25 is integrally formed at the end of the extension frame 24. A fixing collar 33 is welded to the surface of the drive shaft 32, the bottom of which is connected to the swing lever 8. The driving gear 34 is keyed to the surface of the drive shaft 32, and the end of the drive shaft 32 is embedded in the surface of the housing 1 via a bearing. The first and second end plates 23 and 25 remain parallel. The bottom of the driving gear 34 penetrates downward from the interior of the transmission slot 22 into the interior of the telescopic sleeve 4, with one end of the telescopic sleeve 4 open and the other closed. The driving mechanism 6 on the side of the box 1 can realize the rotational drive of the bottom video surveillance communication component 7, thereby changing the monitoring range of the video surveillance module 11. In conjunction with the remote control system, it can directly provide comprehensive and no-blind-angle monitoring processing for the top, bottom and front areas of the entire box 1, thereby expanding the monitoring range.

[0031] Specifically, after the driving mechanism 6 is started, the motor 26 runs, and the motor 26 drives the driving shaft 32 to rotate. The driving shaft 32 simultaneously controls the fixed collar 33 on the surface and the driving gear 34 to rotate. The fixed collar 33 controls the swinging rod 8 at the bottom to swing, and finally achieves the purpose of controlling the bottom video surveillance communication component 7 and rotating around the box body 1. The driving shaft 32 part passes through the middle position of the first end plate 23 and the second end plate 25, so it can provide stable support, and the driving gear 34 part passes through the transmission groove 22 area at the top of the telescopic sleeve 4 to achieve the purpose of transmission with the internal locking mechanism 5 part, thereby achieving the control effect of opening and locking the door 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 5 includes a sliding plate 29, a pressing post 30, and a spur rack 31. The sliding plate 29 is embedded in the guide groove 27. The top of the sliding plate 29 is integrally formed with the spur rack 31, and the end of the sliding plate 29 is inserted with the pressing post 30. A clamping strip 28 is provided at the bottom end of the inner wall of the guide groove 27. Both sides of the sliding plate 29 abut against the surface of the clamping strip 28. The sliding plate 29 and the spur rack 31 are driven by the driving mechanism 6 and move outward along the opening of the guide groove 27. The bottom of the driving gear 34 partially meshes with the spur rack 31. There are two swinging rods 8, the top of one of which is directly welded to the surface of the fixed collar 33, and the top of the other swinging rod 8 is embedded in the surface of the housing 1 via a bearing. The fixed collar 33 and the driving gear 34 are separated by the first end plate 23. By connecting the locking mechanism 5 through the driving mechanism 6, the locking function of the box door 2 can be additionally realized without switching the position of the entire video surveillance communication component 7, thereby preventing unauthorized personnel from directly opening the box door 2. At the same time, it can also achieve the effect of remote automatic closing and locking when the box door 2 is not closed.

[0033] Specifically, since the locking mechanism 5 always presses against the surface of the box door 2 through the pressing column 30 at the end, and the extended position of the pressing column 30 is completely determined by the driving mechanism 6 and the straight rack 31, when the driving mechanism 6 rotates to control the video surveillance communication component 7 to be at the bottom, the active gear 34 drives the straight rack 31 to be completely embedded in the interior of the telescopic sleeve 4, and the pressing column 30 can be directly pressed against a position close to the box body 1, and the box door 2 can be completely pressed against it. At this time, the box door 2 cannot be opened directly until the video surveillance communication component 7 is controlled to rotate upward by the driving mechanism 6. At this time, the pressing column 30 at the end can also be driven to extend outward by the straight rack 31, and the pressing state of the box door 2 can be contacted, thereby realizing the opening process of the box door 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, the video surveillance communication assembly 7 includes support rods, a video surveillance module 11, and a rotating sleeve 14. The support rods include a first support rod 9 and a second support rod 10, both of which are welded to the ends of the swing rod 8. The surface of the first support rod 9 is provided with a rotating sleeve 14, and driven gears 15 are welded to both ends of the rotating sleeve 14. The video surveillance module 11 is mounted in the middle of the rotating sleeve 14. An extension plate 12 is screwed to the side of the video surveillance module 11, and an auxiliary roller 13 is mounted on the end of the extension plate 12. The bottom of the box body 1 is provided with a base plate 3, which is an overall arc-shaped structure. The auxiliary roller 13 is used to abut against the surface of the base plate 3. The second support rod 10 is welded with a boss 20, and a second magnetic plate 21 is attached to the top of the boss 20. A positioning plate 16 is installed on the surface of the video monitoring module 11, and a first magnetic plate 17 is attached to the end of the positioning plate 16. The second magnetic plate 21 is used to be adsorbed and fitted with the first magnetic plate 17, and the arc-shaped rack 19 is used to mesh with the driven gear 15. With the help of the video monitoring communication component 7 and the top arc-shaped rack 19, when the video monitoring communication component 7 moves to the top, it can automatically switch to a targeted monitoring image acquisition of the control area in front of the box 1. In addition, even if the box door 2 is forcibly opened, the drive mechanism 6 can be bypassed to link the video monitoring communication component 7 and switch to the top synchronously to ensure that the person opening the door in front can be identified and the person's characteristics can be obtained. A wireless communication unit is built into the interior of the box 1, and the video monitoring module 11 transmits the image digital signal through the wireless communication unit, so that it can be remotely controlled.

[0035] When an outsider forcibly opens the door 2, the pressing column 30 will be pulled out in the opposite direction through the door 2. During this process, even if the driving mechanism 6 is not opened according to the normal process, the pulling out of the pressing column 30 and the straight rack 31 can drive the driving gear 34 to the reverse state, and finally drive the video surveillance communication component 7 at the bottom to rotate upward until the driven gear 15 is engaged with the arc-shaped rack 19 at the top, and the entire rotating sleeve 14 can be rotated to drive the video surveillance module 11 to rotate toward the outside, so as to achieve the purpose of shooting and collecting people in the area where the door 2 is opened. If the door 2 is opened in the normal process, the video surveillance module 11 is controlled to disengage from the arc-shaped rack 19 area at this time, and can be rotated to the bottom again with the help of its own gravity, and then the video surveillance module 11 can be adsorbed and locked with the help of the first magnetic plate 17 and the second magnetic plate 21, to ensure that the monitoring image can still be collected in the direction of the box body 1 in the future.

It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention.
