[0002] At present, in the construction of highway and railway bridges, the construction quality and the geological conditions on site have a great impact on their use. In order to ensure the normal use of bridges, especially in some areas with poor geological conditions, staff are required to inspect the quality of bridges on time (mainly checking the gap between bridges, whether there is tilt, etc., and there are normal expansion joints between bridges), so as to find out the existing problems in the first time and perform maintenance or interrupt traffic as needed to prevent safety accidents;
[0003] Not only can manual inspection fail to achieve real-time inspection, but manual inspection is also affected by factors such as the inspectors' sense of responsibility, skills, and experience, and cannot guarantee inspection results. Especially when the bridge is very high, the shortcomings of manual inspection are more obvious. In order to improve work efficiency, it is necessary to monitor the expansion joints with video.
[0004] Since the cameras are installed on both sides of the road, dust will accumulate when used for a long time, especially when mixed with rainwater and adhere to the surface, which will reduce the clarity of the monitoring images and affect the use effect. In addition, since most cameras are installed at high altitudes, they are difficult to clean and maintain. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model is implemented by the following technical scheme: a bridge lane expansion joint monitoring camera, comprising a base and a camera, the top of the base is fixedly connected with a column, one side of the column is provided with a mounting mechanism for fixing the camera, one end of the camera is provided with a lens, and one end of the camera is provided with a cleaning mechanism corresponding to the lens for timely cleaning the lens.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above scheme, the cleaning mechanism includes a mounting block fixedly connected to both sides of the camera, a screw rod is rotatably installed inside the mounting block, a servo motor for driving the screw rod is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting block, and a support plate is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block, a power supply electrically connected to the servo motor is arranged inside the support plate, and a cleaning brush corresponding to the lens is engaged and sleeved on the surface of the screw rod.
[0008] Through the above technical solution, the servo motor rotates to drive the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning brush to wipe the lens back and forth for cleaning. There is no need for manual cleaning by staff, maintenance is convenient, and the monitoring effect is improved.
[0009] As a further improvement of the above solution, a signal receiver is fixedly mounted on one side of the camera, and a solar panel is arranged on the top of the camera.
[0010] Through the above technical solution, the rotation of the servo motor can be remotely controlled through a signal receiver, thereby reducing the workload of staff and improving work efficiency.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above solution, the solar panel is arranged in an arc shape, and the solar panel is electrically connected to a power source, and the power source is replaceable.
[0013] Through the above technical solution, the arc-shaped solar panel can shield and protect the camera, and the solar panel can then charge the power supply to reduce energy loss.
[0014] As a further improvement of the above scheme, the mounting mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the column and a connecting block fixedly installed at the bottom of the camera, one side of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a bracket, the top of the bracket is fixedly connected to a rotating seat, and the rotating seat is rotatably connected to the connecting block.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, the angle of the camera can be adjusted to improve the monitoring effect.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0017] The utility model controls the rotation of the servo motor by receiving a signal through a signal receiver when the camera needs to be cleaned. The rotation of the servo motor drives the screw rod connected thereto to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod drives the cleaning brush to move back and forth to wipe and clean the lens. After the work is completed, the servo motor drives the cleaning brush to reset. The design can automatically clean the camera without manual operation by the staff, thereby improving the monitoring effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
