[0002] Traffic roads refer to highways, urban roads and places under the jurisdiction of a unit but where motor vehicles are allowed to pass, including squares, public parking lots and other places for public access. Road monitoring probes are mainly fast-ball monitoring, and monitoring points are distributed at road intersections and key sections where traffic and pedestrian flow are relatively concentrated. The road traffic conditions are uploaded to the road monitoring command center in real time through image transmission channels. The center's on-duty personnel can use this to promptly understand the road conditions in each area in order to adjust the vehicle flow at each intersection and ensure smooth traffic. The monitoring probes have different shapes, some are rectangular and some are spherical.

[0003] Now most spherical monitoring probes will be covered with a transparent shell on the outside of the camera to protect the camera. However, since there are many cars running back and forth on the road, a lot of dust will be raised, and the dust may adhere to the surface of the shell. The dust will accumulate thicker over time, which will affect the use of the camera and hinder the monitoring of the road. Moreover, the monitoring is usually installed in high places, which is not convenient for timely cleaning, which greatly reduces the practicality of the device. For this reason, we provide a road traffic monitoring probe to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a road traffic monitoring probe, including a support rod 1, a connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support rod 1, and a spherical body 2 is installed on the side of the connecting rod 11 away from the support rod 1, a camera 21 is installed at the bottom end of the spherical body 2, a housing 22 is installed at the bottom end of the camera 21, and the housing 22 cover is arranged on the outside of the camera 21, a cleaning component 3 is arranged on the lower side of the spherical body 2, and the cleaning component 3 includes a connecting plate 31, a driving component 4 and an installation component 5, the connecting plate 31 is installed and connected to the spherical body 2 through the driving component 4, and the bottom end of the connecting plate 31 is connected to a connecting block 3 2, and both ends of the connecting block 32 are provided with slots 33, in which a rod 34 is inserted, and a brush 35 is connected to the bottom end of the rod 34, and the rod 34 is fixed to the connecting block 32 through the mounting assembly 5. This structure makes it possible to clean the surface of the housing 22, so that the camera 21 can better monitor the road, which greatly increases the practicality of the device. The inner diameter of the slot 33 is matched with the outer diameter of the rod 34. In order to install the brush 35 more firmly, the brush 35 is in an arc shape, and the brush 35 is placed in close contact with the surface of the housing 22, so that the brush 35 is more in close contact with the shape of the housing 22, thereby cleaning more comprehensively.

[0022] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the driving assembly 4 includes a connecting shell 41, which is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the spherical body 2, and the bottom end of the connecting shell 41 is connected to a connecting frame 42, and a motor 43 is installed in the connecting frame 42, and the output end of the motor 43 extends to the connecting shell 41 and a gear 44 is rotatably installed therein, a movable groove 45 is provided on the lower surface of the spherical body 2, and a gear ring 46 is rotatably installed in the movable groove 45, and the gear ring 46 is meshed with the gear 44, and the connecting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the gear ring 46. This structure makes it possible to drive the brush 35 to move in contact with the surface of the outer shell 22 to achieve cleaning.

[0023] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting assembly 5 includes a slide groove 51 and a limiting groove 54. The slide groove 51 is provided at one end of the insertion rod 34. A spring 52 is installed on the inner side of the slide groove 51. A limiting rod 53 is slidably installed at the opening of the slide groove 51. The limiting groove 54 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 33. The limiting rod 53 is inserted into the limiting groove 54. This structure enables the brush 35 to be fixedly mounted and fixed to the connecting block 32 through the insertion rod 34, making the installation operation of the brush 35 more convenient. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a disassembly component 6 is installed at the center position of the connecting block 32, and the disassembly component 6 includes a mounting groove 61, which is opened in the connecting block 32, and a gear 2 62 is rotatably installed in the middle position of the mounting groove 61, and the upper and lower sides of the gear 2 62 are meshed with racks 63, and the rack 63 slides against the inner wall of the mounting groove 61, and the surface of the gear 2 62 is connected to a connecting shaft 64, and the outer end of the connecting shaft 64 passes through the outer wall of the connecting block 32. This structure makes it easier to disassemble the brush 35, thereby making it easier to disassemble, replace or clean the brush 35. A knob 65 is installed at the outer end of the connecting shaft 64, in order to make it easier to rotate the connecting shaft 64 by operating the knob 65, and an anti-slip groove is opened on the surface of the knob 65 to increase the friction in contact with the knob 65.

[0024] It should be noted that the two groups of slots 33 and the insertion rods 34 have different lengths, one long and one short, and the installation positions of the mounting components 5 on both sides are also one high and one low. They are installed according to the positions of the racks 63 on the upper and lower sides, so that the racks 63 correspond to the limit rods 53.

[0025] Furthermore, the limiting groove 54 is connected to the mounting groove 61 , so that the rack 63 can slide into the limiting groove 54 to push the limiting rod 53 , thereby making it more convenient to disassemble the brush 35 .

[0026] Working principle: If the surface of the housing 22 needs to be cleaned, the motor 43 is started to drive the gear 1 44 to rotate. Through meshing, the gear 1 44 drives the gear ring 46 to rotate in the movable groove 45, the movable groove 45 drives the connecting plate 31 to rotate, the connecting plate 31 drives the connecting block 32 to rotate, and the connecting block 32 drives the plug 34 to rotate, so that the plug 34 drives the brush 35 to rotate in contact with the surface of the housing 22, so that the surface of the housing 22 can be cleaned, which greatly increases the practicality of the device;

[0027] In addition, if the brush 35 needs to be disassembled and replaced, it is only necessary to hold the knob 65 and turn it. The knob 65 drives the gear 2 62 to rotate in the installation groove 61 through the connecting shaft 64. Through meshing, the gear 2 62 drives the rack 63 to slide to both sides at the same time until the rack 63 is driven to slide into the limit groove 54 and push the limit rod 53, and the limit rod 53 is pushed out of the limit groove 54 and pushed into the slide groove 51 to compress the spring 52. At this time, the brush 35 can be pulled downward to drive the insertion rod 34 to slide in the slot 33 until the insertion rod 34 is completely pulled out of the slot 33 to complete the disassembly, which greatly increases the convenience of the device.

[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it.
