[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] Example: Reference Figure 1-4 An unmanned supermarket shelf monitoring device shown in the figure includes a track bracket 1, a displacement component 18 is installed on the track bracket 1, a clamping component is slidably installed on the lower side of the track bracket 1, a monitoring unit is installed on the track bracket 1 through the clamping component, a cleaning component is installed on one side of the track bracket 1, the cleaning component includes a connecting plate 13, the connecting plate 13 is installed on one side of the track bracket 1, a mounting plate 14 is installed on the lower side of the connecting plate 13, a driving hole is opened on one side of the mounting plate 14, a driving rod 15 is rotatably installed in the driving hole, a cleaning brush 16 is installed on one side of the driving rod 15, and a driving unit is installed on one side of the mounting plate 14.

[0024] Based on the above structure, the track bracket 1 and the displacement component 18 are consistent with the technical features used in the displacement bracket and the displacement part in the above-mentioned referenced documents. The conveyor belt is driven by the rotating wheel and the transmission wheel to cooperate with the slide rail to realize the movement of the clamping component. When installing the device, the track bracket 1 needs to be installed first, and then the displacement component 18 is installed. Finally, one or more clamping components are installed as needed, and a monitoring unit is installed on the clamping component for monitoring. When the monitoring unit is damaged, the driving unit can drive the driving rod 15 to rotate, and the driving rod 15 drives the cleaning brush 16 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 16 is placed under the lens of the monitoring probe 12, and then the displacement component 18 drives the rotating rod 19 to move, the rotating rod 19 drives the clamping component to move, and the clamping component drives the monitoring unit to move, so that the monitoring probe 12 passes over the cleaning brush 16, thereby cleaning the monitoring probe 12 and avoiding the problem of reduced monitoring effect due to dust and stains on the lens. Example

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving unit includes a driving motor 17 , which is mounted on one side of the mounting plate 14 , and an output shaft of the driving motor 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the driving rod 15 . The driving motor 17 is a servo motor that can provide rotational power for the driving rod 15 . Example

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a mounting block 2, which is slidably mounted on the lower side of the track bracket 1. An adjustment groove is provided on the lower side of the mounting block 2, in which two adjustment blocks 3 are slidably mounted, and a clamping block 4 is installed on the lower side of the two adjustment blocks 3. A rotating opening is provided on one side of the mounting block 2, and a locking unit is installed in the rotating opening.

[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the locking unit includes a bidirectional threaded rod 5, a non-threaded area on the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 5 is rotatably installed in the rotating mouth, and two adjustment blocks 3 are both screwed and installed in the threaded area on the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 5. There are two opposite threaded areas on the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 5, and the two adjustment blocks 3 are correspondingly screwed and installed on the two threaded areas. The thread lead angle of the bidirectional threaded rod 5 is smaller than the friction angle, that is, when the device is in a stationary state, the bidirectional threaded rod 5 can be self-locking, thereby providing a more stable fixing effect for the placement of the adjustment block 3.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a clamping knob 6 is installed at one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 5. Rotating the clamping knob 6 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 5 to rotate, and the bidirectional threaded rod 5 drives the two adjustment blocks 3 to approach each other. The adjustment blocks 3 respectively drive the two clamping blocks 4 to approach each other, so that the two clamping blocks 4 clamp and fix the base 7, thereby achieving the effect of quickly disassembling and replacing the monitoring unit. Example

A through hole is opened on one side of the U-shaped block 8, and a fastening bolt 9 is installed in the through hole. An extension block 11 is installed on the surface of the fastening bolt 9, and a monitoring probe 12 is installed on the lower side of the extension block 11. A nut 10 is threadedly installed on the surface of the fastening bolt 9. The U-shaped block 8 is a metal block with a certain deformation ability. When the nut 10 is locked and the fastening bolt 9 is rotated, the nut 10 will move on the surface of the fastening bolt 9 and squeeze the U-shaped block 8 to deform the U-shaped block 8 and squeeze the extension block 11, thereby fixing the extension block 11. Example

[0030] like Figure 2 and 4 As shown, a rotating rod 19 is installed on the upper side of the mounting block 2, and the top end of the rotating rod 19 is rotatably mounted on the displacement assembly 18, and the top end of the rotating rod 19 is rotatably mounted on the conveyor belt of the displacement assembly 18. When the transmission belt moves, the clamping assembly can be driven to move on the track bracket 1 through the rotating rod 19 to assist its monitoring.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
