[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides an outdoor camera cleaning mechanism, including a shell 1, a camera 8 is fixedly connected inside the shell 1, and the camera 8 is used for shooting. A lens 6 is fixedly connected to the front end of the shell 1, and the lens 6 is used to block external dust to avoid affecting the shooting function of the camera 8. A mounting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the shell 1, and the mounting seat 2 is used to install the entire device. Both sides of the front end of the shell 1 are fixedly connected to slide rails 3, and a slider 11 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 3. The slider 11 can move up and down inside the slide rail 3. A lifting mechanism is arranged inside the right slide rail 3, and the lifting mechanism includes a motor 4 fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide rail 3, and a reciprocating screw rod 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4. The rod wall of the reciprocating screw rod 9 is meshed with the inside of the slider 11. The motor 4 is energized to drive the reciprocating screw rod 9 to rotate, and the reciprocating screw rod 9 rotates to make the meshed slider 11 move up and down. A cleaning mechanism is arranged at the front end of the shell 1, and the cleaning mechanism is used to clean the lens 6;

[0026] The right slider 11 is internally rotatably connected with a rotating block 12, and the right side of the rotating block 12 is fixedly connected with a gear 15. The front right side of the housing 1 is fixedly connected with a tooth block 14, and the tooth block 14 is meshed with the gear 15. When the gear 15 moves up and down, the gear 15 rotates under the action of the tooth block 14. The cleaning roller 5 is movably connected to the opposite side of the two sliders 11, and the rotating block 12 and the reciprocating screw 9 are arranged in a front-to-back offset manner.

[0027] When working, the motor 4 is energized, and the motor 4 drives the reciprocating screw 9 to rotate, thereby causing the slider 11 to move up and down. When the slider 11 moves up and down, it drives the cleaning roller 5 to move up and down to clean the lens 6, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the lens 6. At the same time, when the slider 11 moves up and down, it drives the rotating block 12 to move up and down, and the rotating block 12 drives the gear 15 to move up and down. Under the action of the tooth block 14, the gear 15 rotates, and the gear 15 drives the rotating block 12 to rotate, and the rotating block 12 drives the cleaning roller 5 to rotate. It should be noted here that the gear 15 has a large number of teeth, so the gear 15 rotates faster when rotating, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a rectangular rod 17 is slidably connected inside the rotating block 12, a convex plate 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the front end of the housing 1, and there are many convex blocks on the left side of the convex plate 10. The left side of the rectangular rod 17 is fixedly connected to the right side of the cleaning roller 5, and the left side of the cleaning roller 5 is slidably connected to the cylinder 13. The left side of the cleaning roller 5 is fixedly connected to the spring 16. The left side of the cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the left slider 11 for rotation. The right side of the rectangular rod 17 passes through the inside of the gear 15 and is fixedly connected to the ball 7. The ball 7 is provided to make the rectangular rod 17 smoother when in contact with the convex plate 10.

[0029] The slider 11 drives the rotating block 12 to move up and down, and the rotating block 12 drives the slidingly connected rectangular rod 17 to move up and down. When the rectangular rod 17 moves up and down, it drives the ball 7 to move up and down. When the ball 7 moves up and down, it contacts the convex plate 10, so that the ball 7 drives the rectangular rod 17 to move. Under the action of the spring 16, the rectangular rod 17 moves left and right, and the rectangular rod 17 drives the cleaning roller 5 to move left and right, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0030] Working principle: when working, the motor 4 is energized, the motor 4 drives the reciprocating screw 9 to rotate, and then the slider 11 moves up and down, and when the slider 11 moves up and down, it drives the cleaning roller 5 to move up and down to clean the lens 6, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the lens 6. At the same time, when the slider 11 moves up and down, it drives the rotating block 12 to move up and down, and the rotating block 12 drives the gear 15 to move up and down. Under the action of the tooth block 14, the gear 15 rotates, and the gear 15 drives the rotating block 12 to rotate, and the rotating block 12 drives the cleaning roller 5 to rotate. It should be noted that the gear 15 has a large number of teeth, so the gear 15 rotates faster when rotating, which can improve the cleaning effect;

[0031] Furthermore, the slider 11 drives the rotating block 12 to move up and down, and the rotating block 12 drives the slidingly connected rectangular rod 17 to move up and down. When the rectangular rod 17 moves up and down, it drives the ball 7 to move up and down. When the ball 7 moves up and down, it contacts the convex plate 10, and then the ball 7 drives the rectangular rod 17 to move. Under the action of the spring 16, the rectangular rod 17 moves left and right, and the rectangular rod 17 drives the cleaning roller 5 to move left and right, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0032] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely illustrative and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention (including the claims) is limited to these examples. Under the concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments may be combined, the steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of simplicity.

[0033] The utility model is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims.
