[0028] Example:
[0029] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4A rainwater flow monitoring device for precipitation estimation includes a mounting frame 1 and a camera device 2, the camera device 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the mounting frame 1, both sides of the mounting frame 1 are fixedly connected with a motor 3, the output end of the motor 3 is fixedly connected with a transmission rod 4, the bottom surface of the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 is fixedly connected with two support plates 101, one end of the transmission rod 4 passes through one side of the mounting frame 1 and is rotatably connected to one side of the support plate 101, the outside of the transmission rod 4 is fixedly connected with a first gear 5, the top of the first gear 5 is meshed with a second gear 6, one side of the second gear 6 is fixedly connected with a cam 7, the cam 7 is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the mounting frame 1, an air pumping assembly 8 is arranged above the cam 7, and a cleaning frame 9 is rotatably arranged on the outside of the camera device 2, and the shape of the cleaning frame 9 is adapted to the shape of the camera device 2.
[0030] Specifically, the inflation assembly 8 includes a sealing tube 80 fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the mounting frame 1, a piston rod 81 is slidably connected inside the sealing tube 80, a return spring 82 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston rod 81, the top of the return spring 82 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the inner wall of the sealing tube 80, and the top of the sealing tube 80 is connected to a connecting tube 83.
[0031] Specifically, the bottom of the piston rod 81 abuts against the outer edge of the cam 7 .
[0032] Specifically, the interior of the cleaning frame 9 is fixedly connected to the air supply pipe 10, the connecting pipe 83 passes through one side of the cleaning frame 9 and is connected to the air supply pipe 10, and a plurality of nozzles 11 are arranged on the inner annular surface of the air supply pipe 10, and the plurality of nozzles 11 are all connected to the air supply pipe 10.
[0033] In this solution, the motor 3 rotates the No. 1 gear 5 through the transmission rod 4, so that the No. 2 gear 6 drives the cam 7 to rotate. When the cam 7 rotates, the piston rod 81 will continuously slide up and down in the sealing tube 80 and squeeze the reset spring 82. Through the elastic force generated by the reset spring 82 and the gravity of the piston rod 81 itself, when the cam 7 is separated from the piston rod 81, the piston rod 81 will slide downward and reset. Through the continuous sliding of the piston rod 81, a negative pressure can be generated in the sealing tube 80, so that air is extracted from the outside into the sealing tube 80 through the nozzle 11, the air supply pipe 10 and the connecting pipe 83, and then the gas in the sealing tube 80 is sent to the nozzle 11 from the connecting pipe 83 and the air supply pipe 10. The nozzle 11 sprays gas to blow away the water mist on the surface of the camera device 2 to complete the cleaning.
[0034] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4 The outside of the transmission rod 4 is fixedly connected with a number three gear 12 , and the side of the support plate 101 close to the transmission rod 4 is rotatably connected with a number four gear 13 , and the number three gear 12 is meshed with the number four gear 13 .
[0035] Specifically, the bottom of the cleaning frame 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the two fourth gears 13 respectively.
[0036] In this solution, when the transmission rod 4 rotates, the third gear 12 can drive the fourth gear 13 to rotate, so that the cleaning frame 9 can reciprocate around the outside of the camera device 2, so that the cleaning range of the nozzle 11 is wider. In actual use, the diameter of the second gear 6 can be made smaller than the diameter of the fourth gear 13. In this way, when the cleaning frame 9 rotates 180° once, the surface of the camera device 2 can be blown and cleaned multiple times, further improving the cleaning effect of the device on water mist.
[0037] Working principle: When the precipitation estimation causes the surface of the camera device 2 to fog, the staff can turn on the motor 3, and rotate the No. 1 gear 5 and the No. 3 gear 12 through the transmission rod 4. The No. 1 gear 5 cooperates with the No. 2 gear 6 and the cam 7 to make the piston rod 81 continuously slide in the sealing tube 80, thereby continuously sending the gas into the air supply pipe 10, and the nozzle 11 then sprays the gas to clean the water mist on the surface of the camera device 2. At the same time, the No. 3 gear 12 cooperates with the No. 4 gear 13 to make the cleaning frame 9 rotate around the camera device 2, so as to clean the camera device 2 more comprehensively.
[0038] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model; however, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and improved ideas of the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
