Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traffic information collection technology, specifically to a traffic information collection monitoring device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Traffic information collection and monitoring devices are core equipment in the intelligent road traffic management system. They are widely used in urban roads, highways and other scenarios, and can collect key traffic data such as traffic flow, speed and road conditions in real time, providing accurate information support for traffic control, road condition analysis and traffic decision-making. As the core detection component of the device, the adaptability of the monitoring angle, the convenience of disassembly and maintenance and the stability of the equipment operation directly determine the efficiency and accuracy of traffic information collection.

[0003] However, existing traffic information collection and monitoring devices mostly have fixed video monitors that cannot automatically adjust the illumination angle according to the road conditions and height of the lanes on both sides. Manual adjustment is cumbersome, and the disassembly and assembly of video monitors require special tools, resulting in low efficiency during maintenance and affecting the continuity of traffic information collection. In addition, birds tend to nest and stay around the monitors, which can not only cause physical damage to the equipment but also obstruct the monitoring lens, resulting in blurred monitoring images and seriously affecting the normal collection of traffic information. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a traffic information collection monitoring device and its usage method. This device features automatic synchronous adjustment of the angles of dual video monitors with self-locking anti-deviation, tool-free quick installation and removal of the monitors, and wind-driven dual-mode (audio and visual) bird deterrence, ensuring stable and efficient data collection. It improves upon or solves the problems of existing traffic information collection monitoring devices, which often have fixed installation structures for their video monitors. These devices cannot automatically adjust the illumination angle according to the road conditions and height of the lanes on both sides, and manual adjustment is cumbersome. Furthermore, the installation and removal of video monitors require specialized tools, resulting in low efficiency during maintenance and affecting the continuity of traffic information collection. In addition, birds easily nest and perch around the monitors, which not only easily cause physical damage to the equipment but also obstruct the monitoring lenses, leading to blurred images and seriously affecting the normal collection of traffic information.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a traffic information collection monitoring device and its usage method, comprising a support rod and video monitors. A mounting base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support rod. Mounting holes are formed at the four corners of the mounting base plate. A cavity is formed inside the support rod. Through slots are formed on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the upper end of the support rod. An angle adjustment assembly is disposed inside the two through slots. A linkage assembly is disposed inside the support rod, located between the two angle adjustment assemblies. Quick-fix devices are fixedly disposed at the upper ends of the two angle adjustment assemblies. Two video monitors are disposed on the upper ends of the two angle adjustment assemblies, respectively. The two video monitors are connected and fixed to the two angle adjustment assemblies via the two quick-fix devices. A wind-driven bird deterrent device is disposed at the top end of the support rod.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the angle adjustment assembly includes a mounting frame, a shaft, a worm gear, and a rotating arm. The two mounting frames are respectively embedded inside the two through slots and are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through slots. The two shafts are respectively disposed inside the two mounting frames, and their front and rear ends are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the mounting frames. The two worm gears are respectively sleeved on the surfaces of the two shafts and are rotatably connected to the shafts. The two rotating arms are respectively fixedly connected above the two worm gears on opposite sides. The upper ends of the two rotating arms extend out of the two mounting frames, and the two quick-release devices are respectively fixedly disposed on the upper ends of the two rotating arms.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the linkage component includes a worm gear and a motor. The motor is disposed at the lower end inside the support rod and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support rod. The worm gear is fixedly connected to the upper output end of the motor, and its upper end is rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the support rod. The worm gear is located between the two worm wheels and is meshed with the two worm wheels.

[0008] Preferably, the two quick-fix devices on the left and right sides are identical. Taking the left side as an example, the quick-fix device includes a box, a docking frame, a through groove, a self-locking component, and a docking piece. The box is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating arm. The video monitor is located on the upper side of the box. The docking frame is located in the middle of the box and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box. The upper and left sides of the docking frame extend out of the box. The upper and left sides of the docking frame are open surfaces. There are two through grooves, which are respectively opened on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the docking frame. There are two self-locking components, which are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the box and on the front and rear sides of the docking frame. The docking piece is located on the lower surface of the video monitor and is inserted into the docking frame.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the docking component includes a connecting block and a slot. The connecting block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the video monitor and inserted into the docking frame. There are two slots, which are respectively opened on the front and rear surfaces of the connecting block. The positions of the two slots correspond to the positions of the two through slots and the positions of the two self-locking components.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the self-locking assembly includes guide rods, sliding plates, stainless steel push springs, locking blocks, and unlocking pull plates. The guide rods are four in number, arranged in pairs, forming two groups (front and rear). The four guide rods are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the front and rear surfaces of the docking frame, respectively. The ends of the two groups of guide rods that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the box body. The two sliding plates are respectively fitted onto the surfaces of the two groups of guide rods that are close to each other, and are slidably connected to the guide rods. The stainless steel push springs are four in number, arranged in pairs, forming two groups (front and rear). The four stainless steel push springs are respectively fitted onto the surfaces of the four guide rods, forming two groups (front and rear). The two ends that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the front and rear surfaces of the docking frame, respectively, and the two ends that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the box body, respectively. The two locking blocks are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two sliding plates that are close to each other. The ends of the two locking blocks that are close to each other extend into the docking frame through the two through slots and are slidably connected to the through slots. The ends of the two locking blocks that extend into the docking frame are embedded in the two locking slots and are movably connected to the locking slots. The two unlocking pull plates are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two sliding plates that are far apart from each other. The ends of the two unlocking pull plates that are far apart from each other extend out of the box body and are slidably connected to the box body.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the two card blocks are respectively provided with a gradually pressing slope on the left side of one end close to the other.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wind-driven bird deterrent device includes a fixed plate, a pole, a rotating ring, wind-attracting plates, actuating rods, and a sounding component. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod, the pole is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the fixed plate, the rotating ring is sleeved on the upper surface of the pole and rotatably connected to the pole, there are four wind-attracting plates, which are evenly fixedly connected to the circumference of the rotating ring, there are four actuating rods, which are respectively fixedly connected to the lower side of the four wind-attracting plates, and there are four sounding components, which are evenly fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the upper surface of the fixed plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sounding component includes springs and bells. Four springs are evenly and fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the upper surface of the fixed plate, and four bells are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the four springs. The positions of the four springs correspond to the positions of the four levers.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, during the first step of angle adjustment, the motor is started, and the output end of the motor drives the worm to rotate synchronously. Since the worm is meshed with two worm wheels, and the two worm wheels are respectively sleeved and rotatably connected to the shafts in the corresponding mounting frames, the rotation of the worm will simultaneously drive the worm wheels on the left and right sides to rotate synchronously in opposite directions along the shafts. When the worm wheels rotate, they will drive the rotating arm fixed above their outer side to deflect synchronously. The rotating arm will then rotate together with the quick-fix device at the upper end and the video monitor fixed to the quick-fix device, thereby realizing the synchronous adjustment of the monitoring angle of the two video monitors. Step 2: The meshing structure of the worm and worm wheel has a self-locking characteristic. After the adjustment is completed, the motor is turned off, the worm stops rotating, and the worm wheel will maintain its current position and no longer deflect. This keeps the video monitor stable at the adjusted angle, avoiding the monitoring angle deviation caused by external shaking and other factors, and ensuring the stability of traffic information collection. Step 3: During the inspection, installation, and fixing process, insert the connecting block at the bottom of the video monitor into the docking frame from left to right. The right edge of the connecting block will first contact the gradually pressing slope at the end of the two locking blocks that are close to each other. As the connecting block continues to be pushed into the docking frame, the gradually pressing slope will be squeezed and will cause the two locking blocks to move away from each other. When the locking blocks move, they will push the corresponding sliding plate to slide synchronously along the guide rod. At the same time, they will squeeze the stainless steel push spring sleeved on the surface of the guide rod and cause it to elastically contract. When the connecting block is fully inserted into the docking frame, the two locking slots will be precisely aligned with the two through slots. At this time, the elastic restoring force of the stainless steel push spring will push the sliding plate to reset along the guide rod that is close to each other. The sliding plate will then drive the locking block to pass through the through slot and embed into the locking slot. Through the locking and engaging of the locking block and the locking slot, the connecting block is quickly fixed in the docking frame, thus completing the connection and fixing of the video monitor and the quick-fix device. Step 4: When the video monitor needs to be disassembled for maintenance, simply pull the two unlocking plates in opposite directions. The unlocking plates will cause the slide plate and the locking block to move synchronously and disengage from the slot, releasing the limit on the connecting block. The connecting block can then be directly pulled out of the docking frame, achieving quick disassembly of the video monitor. Step 5: During use, the wind blows towards the wind-driven bird deterrent device's wind-attracting plate. The wind force causes the plate to rotate around the support pole in a circular motion. Simultaneously, the rotation of the ring causes the four levers below it to move in a circular motion. When the levers rotate with the ring to a position opposite the spring of the sound-emitting component, they periodically poke and strike the bell on the spring, causing the spring to elastically stretch and sway. During this swaying, the bell at its top continuously emits a crisp sound. The wind-driven mechanism enables the bell to sound automatically. The rotation of the wind-attracting plate and the sound of the bell create a dual visual and auditory bird deterrent effect, effectively driving away birds that are perched or nesting nearby, preventing them from obstructing the video monitor's lens or causing physical damage to the equipment.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention improves or solves, to a certain extent, the problems of existing traffic information collection monitoring devices by using a combination of a video monitor, support rod, mounting base plate, through slot, mounting hole, angle adjustment component, mounting frame, shaft, worm gear, rotating arm, linkage component, worm, motor, quick-fix device, box, docking frame, through slot, self-locking component, guide rod, sliding plate, stainless steel push spring, locking block, unlocking pull plate, docking part, connecting block, slot, wind-driven bird deterrent device, fixed plate, upright, rotating ring, wind-attracting plate, toggle rod, sounding component, spring, bell, and gradually increasing slope. The video monitors are mostly fixed installation structures, unable to automatically adjust the illumination angle according to the road conditions and height of the lanes on both sides. Manual adjustment is cumbersome, and the disassembly and assembly of the video monitors require special tools, resulting in low efficiency during maintenance and affecting the continuity of traffic information collection. Furthermore, birds easily nest and stay around the monitors, which not only easily cause physical damage to the equipment but also obstruct the monitoring lens, leading to blurred monitoring images and seriously affecting the normal collection of traffic information.

[0016] 2. By setting an angle adjustment component, the present invention can realize synchronous reverse angle adjustment of two video monitors, and the meshing self-locking structure can keep the adjusted angle stable and without deviation.

[0017] 3. By setting up a quick-fix device, this invention provides a dedicated docking and fixing structure for the video monitor, enabling precise docking between the monitor and the angle adjustment component, and laying a structural foundation for rapid assembly and disassembly.

[0018] 4. This invention enables tool-free quick assembly and disassembly of the video monitor by setting a self-locking component. The progressively pressing inclined surface design of the locking block makes installation smoother, and the elastic reset of the stainless steel push spring makes the fixation more secure.

[0019] 5. This invention uses a wind-driven bird deterrent device to achieve electricity-free bird deterrence by relying on natural wind power. It drives away birds through both visual and auditory effects, avoiding birds from blocking the lens and damaging the equipment. It is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and has low maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Reference Figure 1-6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a traffic information collection monitoring device and its usage method, including a support rod 2 and a video monitor 1. The bottom end of the support rod 2 is fixedly connected to a mounting base plate 21. The mounting base plate 21 has mounting holes 23 at its four corners.

[0027] Specifically, it can simultaneously adjust the angle of the dual video monitors and has a self-locking effect.

Example 2

[0029] In the second embodiment of the present invention, the angle adjustment component 3 includes a mounting frame 31, a shaft 32, a worm gear 33, and a rotating arm 34. The two mounting frames 31 are respectively embedded inside the two through slots 22 and are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through slots 22. The two shafts 32 are respectively disposed inside the two mounting frames 31 and are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the mounting frames 31 at their front and rear ends, respectively. The two worm gears 33 are respectively sleeved on the surface of the two shafts 32 and are rotatably connected to the shafts 32. The two rotating arms 34 are respectively fixedly connected above the two worm gears 33 on the side away from each other. The upper ends of the two rotating arms 34 extend out of the two mounting frames 31, and the two quick-fix devices 5 are respectively fixedly disposed on the upper ends of the two rotating arms 34. The linkage component 4 includes a worm gear 41 and a motor 42. The motor 42 is located at the lower end inside the support rod 2 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support rod 2. The worm gear 41 is fixedly connected to the upper output end of the motor 42, and its upper end is rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the support rod 2. The worm gear 41 is located between two worm wheels 33 and is meshed with the two worm wheels 33.

[0030] Specifically, by setting the angle adjustment component 3, the synchronous reverse angle adjustment of the two video monitors 1 can be realized, and the meshing self-locking structure can keep the adjusted angle stable and without deviation.

[0031] Furthermore, the motor 42 drives the worm 41 to rotate, and the worm 41 meshes with and drives the worm wheels 33 on both sides to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The worm wheels 33 drive the rotating arm 34 to deflect to achieve the adjustment of the monitor angle. The meshing structure of the worm 41 and worm wheel 33 forms a self-locking mechanism. Example 3

[0032] In the third embodiment of the present invention, the two quick-fix devices 5 on the left and right sides are the same. Taking the left side as an example, the quick-fix device 5 includes a box body 51, a docking frame 52, a through groove 53, a self-locking component 54, and a docking piece 55. The box body 51 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating arm 34. The video monitor 1 is located on the upper side of the box body 51. The docking frame 52 is located in the middle of the box body 51 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 51. The upper and left sides of the docking frame 52 extend out of the box body 51. The upper and left sides of the docking frame 52 are open surfaces. There are two through grooves 53, which are respectively opened on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the docking frame 52. There are two self-locking components 54, which are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the box body 51 and on the front and rear sides of the docking frame 52. The docking piece 55 is located on the lower surface of the video monitor 1 and is inserted into the docking frame 52. The docking component 55 includes a connecting block 551 and a slot 552. The connecting block 551 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the video monitor 1 and is inserted into the docking frame 52. There are two slots 552, which are respectively opened on the front and rear surfaces of the connecting block 551. The positions of the two slots 552 correspond to the positions of the two through slots 53 and the positions of the two self-locking components 54.

[0033] Specifically, by setting up the quick-fix device 5, a dedicated docking and fixing structure is provided for the video monitor 1, enabling precise docking between the monitor and the angle adjustment component 3, laying a structural foundation for quick assembly and disassembly.

[0034] Furthermore, the docking piece 55 under the video monitor 1 is inserted into the docking frame 52 of the quick-fix device 5. The monitor is fixed by the cooperation of the self-locking component 54 and the docking piece 55. The fixation can be released by reversing the operation. Example 4

[0035] In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the self-locking assembly 54 includes guide rods 541, sliding plates 542, stainless steel push springs 543, locking blocks 544, and unlocking pull plates 545. There are four guide rods 541, arranged in pairs, forming two groups (front and rear). The four guide rods 541 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the front and rear surfaces of the docking frame 52. The ends of the two groups of guide rods 541 that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the box body 51. Two sliding plates 542 are respectively fitted onto the surfaces of the two groups of guide rods 541 that are close to each other and are slidably connected to the guide rods 541. There are four stainless steel push springs 543, arranged in pairs, forming two groups (front and rear). The four stainless steel push springs 543 are respectively fitted onto the surfaces of the four guide rods 541. The stainless steel push springs 543 are fixedly connected at their close ends to the front and rear surfaces of the docking frame 52, and at their far ends to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the box body 51. Two locking blocks 544 are fixedly connected to the close side surfaces of the two sliding plates 542. The close side ends of the two locking blocks 544 extend into the docking frame 52 through two through slots 53 and are slidably connected to the through slots 53. The ends of the two locking blocks 544 extending into the docking frame 52 are embedded in the two locking slots 552 and are movably connected to the locking slots 552. Two unlocking pull plates 545 are fixedly connected to the far side surfaces of the two sliding plates 542. The far side ends of the two unlocking pull plates 545 extend out of the box body 51 and are slidably connected to the box body 51. The two card blocks 544 have gradually pressing slopes 7 on the left side of their respective ends, which are close to each other.

[0036] Specifically, by setting the self-locking component 54, tool-free quick assembly and disassembly of the video monitor 1 are achieved. The design of the gradually pressing inclined surface 7 of the locking block 544 makes the installation smoother, and the elastic reset of the stainless steel push spring 543 makes the fixation more secure.

[0037] Furthermore, during installation, the connecting block 551 presses the gradually pressing inclined surface 7 of the locking block 544, causing the locking block 544 to retract. After the connection is in place, the push spring drives the locking block 544 to embed into the slot 552 to complete self-locking. Pulling the unlocking plate 545 can drive the locking block 544 to disengage from the slot 552 to achieve unlocking. Example 5

[0038] In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the wind-driven bird deterrent device 6 includes a fixed plate 61, a pole 62, a rotating ring 63, wind-attracting plates 64, actuating rods 65, and a sounding component 66. The fixed plate 61 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 2. The pole 62 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the fixed plate 61. The rotating ring 63 is sleeved on the upper surface of the pole 62 and rotatably connected to the pole 62. There are four wind-attracting plates 64, which are evenly fixedly connected to the circumference of the rotating ring 63. There are four actuating rods 65, which are respectively fixedly connected to the lower side of the four wind-attracting plates 64. There are four sounding components 66, which are evenly fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the upper surface of the fixed plate 61. The sounding component 66 includes springs 661 and bells 662. Four springs 661 are evenly and fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the upper surface of the fixed plate 61. Four bells 662 are fixedly connected to the top of the four springs 661 respectively. The positions of the four springs 661 correspond to the positions of the four levers 65.

[0039] Specifically, by setting up a wind-driven bird deterrent device 6, birds are deterred without electricity by relying on natural wind power. The device uses both visual and auditory effects to drive away birds, preventing them from blocking the lens and damaging the equipment. It is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and has low maintenance costs.

[0040] Furthermore, the wind force drives the wind-attracting plate 64 to rotate the rotating ring 63, and the rotating ring 63 drives the actuating rod 65 to periodically strike the bell 662 of the sounding component 66, causing the bell 662 to sound. The rotation of the wind-attracting plate 64 and the sounding of the bell 662 create a dual bird-repelling effect.

[0041] Working principle: During use, when adjusting the angle, starting the motor 42 causes the output of the motor 42 to drive the worm gear 41 to rotate synchronously. Since the worm gear 41 is meshed with two worm wheels 33, and the two worm wheels 33 are respectively sleeved and rotatably connected to the shafts 32 in the corresponding mounting frames 31, the rotation of the worm gear 41 will simultaneously drive the worm wheels 33 on both sides to rotate synchronously in opposite directions along the shafts 32. When the worm wheels 33 rotate, they will drive the rotating arm 34 fixed above and outside to deflect synchronously. The rotating arm 34 will then carry the fast-fixing device 5 at the upper end and the video monitor fixed to the fast-fixing device 5. The two video monitors 1 rotate together to achieve synchronous adjustment of their monitoring angles. The illumination angle of the video monitors 1 can be precisely adjusted according to the actual road conditions of the lanes on both sides to meet the traffic information collection needs under different road conditions. The meshing structure of the worm gear 41 and the worm wheel 33 has a self-locking characteristic. After the adjustment is completed, the motor 42 is turned off, the worm gear 41 stops rotating, and the worm wheel 33 will maintain its current position and no longer deflect. This keeps the video monitors 1 stably at the adjusted angle, avoiding the monitoring angle deviation caused by external shaking and other factors, and ensuring the stability of traffic information collection. During the inspection, installation, and fixing process, the connecting block 551 at the lower end of the video monitor 1 is inserted into the docking frame 52 from left to right. The right edge of the connecting block 551 will first contact the gradually pressing inclined surface 7 at one end of the two locking blocks 544. As the connecting block 551 continues to be pushed into the docking frame 52, the gradually pressing inclined surface 7 will be squeezed and will drive the two locking blocks 544 to move away from each other. When the locking blocks 544 move, they will push the corresponding sliding plate 542 to slide synchronously along the guide rod 541, and at the same time squeeze the stainless steel push spring 543 sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 541 to cause it to elastically contract. When the connecting block 551... When fully inserted into the docking frame 52, the two slots 552 will precisely correspond to the positions of the two through slots 53. At this time, the elastic restoring force of the stainless steel push spring 543 will push the slide plate 542 to return to its original position along the guide rod 541 in the direction of mutual approach. The slide plate 542 will then drive the locking block 544 to pass through the through slot 53 and embed into the slot 552. Through the locking engagement of the locking block 544 and the slot 552, the connecting block 551 is quickly limited and fixed in the docking frame 52, thereby completing the connection and fixation of the video monitor 1 and the quick-fix device 5. No special tools are needed throughout the process, which greatly improves the efficiency of the video monitor 1's maintenance and disassembly. When the video monitor 1 needs to be disassembled for maintenance, simply pull the two unlocking plates 545 in opposite directions. The unlocking plates 545 will cause the sliding plate 542 and the locking block 544 to move synchronously and disengage from the slot 552, thereby releasing the limit on the connecting block 551. The connecting block 551 can then be directly pulled out from the docking frame 52, achieving rapid disassembly of the video monitor 1, effectively reducing maintenance time and ensuring the continuity of traffic information collection. During use, when the wind blows towards the wind-driven bird deterrent device 6, the wind-driven plate 64, under the force of the wind, causes the rotating ring 63 to rotate around the upright 62. Simultaneously, the rotation of the rotating ring 63 causes the four actuating levers 65 below it to rotate in a circular motion. When the actuating levers 65 rotate with the rotating ring 63 to a position opposite to the spring 661 of the sounding component 66, they periodically actuate and impact the bell 662 on the spring 661, causing the spring 661 to elastically extend, contract, and sway. During the swaying of the spring 661, the bell 662 at its top is held in place. The device emits a crisp sound, using wind power to automatically activate the bell 662. Simultaneously, the rotation of the wind-attracting plate 64 and the ringing of the bell 662 create a dual visual and auditory bird-repelling effect, effectively driving away birds that are perched or nesting nearby. This prevents birds from obstructing the lens of the video monitor 1 or causing physical damage to the equipment. Furthermore, the wind-driven bird-repelling device 6 is driven entirely by natural wind power, requiring no external electricity. This saves energy and is environmentally friendly, while also reducing the operating and maintenance costs of the equipment. It ensures the long-term stable operation of the monitoring device and guarantees that traffic information collection is not disturbed by birds.

[0042] In summary, by using a combination of components including a video monitor 1, support rod 2, mounting base plate 21, through slot 22, mounting hole 23, angle adjustment component 3, mounting frame 31, shaft 32, worm gear 33, rotating arm 34, linkage component 4, worm gear 41, motor 42, quick-release device 5, housing 51, docking frame 52, through slot 53, self-locking component 54, guide rod 541, sliding plate 542, stainless steel push spring 543, locking block 544, unlocking pull plate 545, docking piece 55, connecting block 551, slot 552, wind-driven bird deterrent device 6, fixing plate 61, upright pole 62, rotating ring 63, wind-attracting plate 64, toggle rod 65, sound component 66, spring 661, bell 662, and gradually increasing slope 7, the system achieves automatic synchronous adjustment of the dual video monitor angles with self-locking anti-deviation, tool-free quick disassembly and assembly of the monitors, and wind-driven dual audio-visual bird deterrence, ensuring stable and efficient data collection.

10. A traffic information collection monitoring device and its usage method as described in claims 1 to 8, the usage method includes the following steps: Step 1: During the angle adjustment process, the motor (42) is started. The output end of the motor (42) will drive the worm (41) to rotate synchronously. Since the worm (41) is meshed with two worm wheels (33), and the two worm wheels (33) are respectively sleeved and rotatably connected to the shaft (32) in the corresponding mounting frame (31), the rotation of the worm (41) will simultaneously drive the worm wheels (33) on the left and right sides to rotate synchronously in opposite directions along the shaft (32). When the worm wheel (33) rotates, it will drive the rotating arm (34) fixed above its outer side to deflect synchronously. The rotating arm (34) will then rotate together with the fast-fixing device (5) at the upper end and the video monitor (1) fixed with the fast-fixing device (5), thereby realizing the synchronous adjustment of the monitoring angle of the two video monitors (1). Step 2: The meshing structure of the worm (41) and the worm wheel (33) has a self-locking characteristic. After the adjustment is completed, the motor (42) is turned off, the worm (41) stops rotating, and the worm wheel (33) will maintain its current position and no longer deflect, so that the video monitor (1) can be stably maintained at the adjusted angle, avoiding the monitoring angle deviation caused by external shaking and other factors, and ensuring the stability of traffic information collection. Step 3: During the inspection, installation and fixing process, insert the connecting block (551) at the lower end of the video monitor (1) into the docking frame (52) from left to right. The right edge of the connecting block (551) will first contact the gradually pressing inclined surface (7) of the two locking blocks (544) at one end. As the connecting block (551) continues to push into the docking frame (52), the gradually pressing inclined surface (7) will be squeezed and drive the two locking blocks (544) to move away from each other. When the locking blocks (544) move, they will push the corresponding sliding plate (542) to slide synchronously along the guide rod (541) and squeeze the stainless steel push spring (543) sleeved on the surface of the guide rod (541). This causes the connecting block (551) to elastically contract. When the connecting block (551) is fully inserted into the docking frame (52), the two slots (552) will precisely correspond to the positions of the two through slots (53). At this time, the elastic restoring force of the stainless steel push spring (543) will push the sliding plate (542) to reset along the guide rod (541) towards each other. The sliding plate (542) will then drive the locking block (544) to pass through the through slot (53) and embed into the slot (552). Through the locking engagement of the locking block (544) and the slot (552), the connecting block (551) is quickly fixed in the docking frame (52), thereby completing the connection and fixation of the video monitor (1) and the quick-fix device (5). Step 4: When the video monitor (1) needs to be disassembled for maintenance, simply pull the two unlocking plates (545) in opposite directions. The unlocking plates (545) will cause the sliding plate (542) and the locking block (544) to move synchronously and disengage from the slot (552), thereby releasing the limit on the connecting block (551). The connecting block (551) can then be directly pulled out from the docking frame (52) to achieve quick disassembly of the video monitor (1). Step 5: During use, the wind blows towards the wind-driven bird deterrent device (6) and the wind-driven plate (64) will be driven by the wind force to make the rotating ring (63) rotate around the upright (62). At the same time, the rotating ring (63) will drive the four actuating rods (65) on its lower side to move in a circular motion. When the actuating rod (65) rotates with the rotating ring (63) to the position opposite to the spring (661) of the sounding component (66), it will generate a periodic sound on the bell (662) on the spring (661). The plucking and impacting cause the spring (661) to elastically stretch and shake. During the shaking of the spring (661), the bell (662) at its top will continuously emit a crisp sound. The bell (662) is automatically emitting sound by using wind power. At the same time, the rotation of the wind-attracting plate (64) and the sound of the bell (662) form a dual visual and auditory bird-repelling effect, effectively driving away birds that are staying or nesting in the vicinity, and preventing birds from blocking the lens of the video monitor (1) or causing physical damage to the equipment.
