DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 5The utility model provides a technical solution: a patrol robot that is convenient for cleaning a camera, comprising a robot housing 1, on the upper end of which is provided with a camera housing 2; a fixing plate 3 is fixedly installed on the front side of the robot housing 1; a water spray assembly 13 is arranged on the robot housing 1, and the mounting assembly 9 comprises a splicing plate 901 and a mounting screw 902, and the splicing plate 901 is mounted on the second telescopic rod 8, the mounting screw 902 is penetrated and arranged on the splicing plate 901, and the mounting screw 902 is connected to the cleaning brush plate 10 through a threaded hole opened on the cleaning brush plate 10; the cleaning brush plate 10 is symmetrically provided with two fixed scrapers 12 made of soft rubber material up and down; the water spray assembly 13 comprises a fixed nozzle 131 and a connecting hose 132, and the fixed nozzle 131 is fixedly installed on the camera housing 2, the connecting hose 132 is conductively connected with the fixed nozzle 131, and the connecting hose 132 is conductively connected with a water tank arranged inside the robot housing 1.

[0023] When the camera housing 2 needs to be cleaned, the second telescopic rod 8 starts working (the second telescopic rod 8 is set as an electric telescopic rod). At this time, the second telescopic rod 8 starts to drive the cleaning brush plate 10 installed on its upper end through the mounting assembly 9 to move in the direction close to the camera housing 2 until the cleaning bristles 11 and the fixed scraper 12 installed on the cleaning brush plate 10 are tightly fitted with the camera housing 2 (the fixed scraper 12 is set to a soft rubber material to scrape off residual water stains, and the cleaning bristles 11 are set to a soft bristle material to avoid scratching the camera housing 2 when cleaning the camera housing 2). At this time, water can be sprayed on the front side of the camera housing 2 through the fixed nozzle 131 (the fixed nozzle 131 is connected to the camera housing 2 by a nozzle 131). The connecting hose 132 is connected to the water tank provided inside the robot housing 1, and a water pump for extracting water from the water tank is provided on the connecting hose 132), so as to achieve the purpose of washing away dust and removing stubborn stains; when the cleaning brush plate 10 needs to be replaced, the mounting screw 902 is rotated to make the mounting screw 902 start to move away from the splicing plate 901, until the mounting screw 902 is no longer connected to the threaded hole provided on the cleaning brush plate 10, at which time the cleaning brush plate 10 can be disassembled for cleaning or replacement (the cleaning brush plate 10 is driven by the second telescopic rod 8 to be stored inside the fixed plate 3 when not in use), so that the cleaning brush plate 10 can be replaced separately, reducing the replacement cost. In addition, when the cleaning bristles 11 are used up, they can be recovered by the second telescopic rod 8 and stored in the fixed plate 3 to avoid the adhesion of dust and other impurities when not in use.

[0024] A first telescopic rod 4 is provided on the fixed plate 3, a moving rack 5 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the first telescopic rod 4, and a rotating disk 6 is meshed on both sides of the moving rack 5, a second telescopic rod 8 is fixedly installed on the rotating disk 6, and a mounting assembly 9 is provided on the second telescopic rod 8, a cleaning brush plate 10 is provided on the mounting assembly 9, and the cleaning brush plate 10 is provided with cleaning bristles 11 and a fixed scraper 12; the moving rack 5 is provided with two groups of gear structures, and the two groups of gear structures are respectively meshed with the gear structures provided on the rotating disk 6; the rotating disk 6 is symmetrically connected with respect to the center of the fixed plate 3, and a fixed rotating shaft 7 is provided on the rotating disk 6, and the fixed rotating shaft 7 forms a rotating mechanism with the fixed plate 3 through a bearing installed on the fixed plate 3.

[0025] As the cleaning bristles 11 and the fixed scraper 12 fit together with the camera housing 2, the first telescopic rod 4 starts to work. Since a movable rack 5 is installed at the lower end of the first telescopic rod 4, the movable rack 5 starts to move up and down. As the movable rack 5 moves, the rotating disk 6 meshing with the movable rack 5 starts to rotate under the support of the fixed rotating shaft 7, that is, the second telescopic rod 8 installed on the rotating disk 6 also starts to rotate. As the second telescopic rod 8 rotates, the cleaning brush plate 10, the cleaning bristles 11 and the fixed scraper 12 also start to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of swinging and brushing cleaning of the surface of the camera housing 2.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
