DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] See also Figure 1-4The utility model relates to a dustproof camera, comprising a dust cover cavity 1, a camera housing 2, a camera back cover 3, a baffle 4, a baffle groove 5, a baffle sheet 6 and a dust cover back cover 7. The camera head and the circuit board are built in the camera housing 2. The dust cover cavity 1 is provided with a baffle sheet 6, a baffle groove 5, a baffle plate 4, a camera housing 2 and a camera back cover 3 from front to back. The head of the camera housing 2 is in a hemispherical shell shape, and the head of the camera housing 2 extends into the baffle groove 5 through the baffle plate 4. A certain distance is maintained between the mirror surface of the camera and the baffle 6, and an air outlet 6.1 is provided on the baffle 6 corresponding to the camera. The aperture of the air outlet 6.1 is larger than the outer diameter of the mirror surface of the camera. The baffle 6 is limited by the baffle groove 5, and the baffle groove 5 is provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the baffle 6. The tail of the camera housing 2 is blocked by the camera back cover 3, and the camera housing flange 2.1 at the tail of the camera housing 2 is connected to the camera back cover 3 by bolts, and a cable stuffing box 8 is provided on the camera back cover 3.

[0022] The camera back cover 3 is limited by a retaining spring 9 to prevent the camera back cover 3 and the camera housing 2 from axial movement. A retaining groove is provided on the inner wall of the dust cover cavity 1 corresponding to the retaining spring 9 .

[0023] The tail of the dust cover cavity 1 is sealed by a dust cover back cover 7, and the dust cover flange 1.1 at the tail of the dust cover cavity 1 is connected to the dust cover back cover 7 by bolts. The dust cover back cover 7 is provided with a cable stuffing box 8 and an air nozzle 10.
