Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of 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.
[0028] This embodiment provides an intelligent monitoring camera, which is mainly used for regularly cleaning the protective cover to improve the quality of the camera monitoring picture.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, it includes a mounting base 1 and a main body 2 rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1, wherein the mounting base 1 can be fixed to a wall, a beam, etc. by bolts, and a monitoring head 3 is also rotatably mounted on the main body 2 for adjusting the angle of the monitoring head 3 to expand the monitoring range.
[0030] In order to adjust the angle of the main body 2, in this embodiment, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes a first motor 100, a first gear 10 and a second gear 200, wherein the first motor 100 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1, the first gear 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 100, the second gear 200 is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the main body 2, and the second gear 200 and the first gear 10 are meshed with each other.
[0031] It is worth noting that the axis of the second gear 200 is arranged along the height direction, and the first motor 100 can drive the main body 2 to rotate 360°.
[0032] In order to realize the installation of the monitoring head 3, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom wall of the main body 2 is provided with a first positioning seat 22 and a second positioning seat 23 which are arranged opposite to each other, wherein the monitoring head 3 is installed between the first positioning seat 22 and the second positioning seat 23 .
[0033] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the second motor 4 is fixedly provided on the first positioning seat 22 , and a rotating rod 41 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 4 , wherein the axis of the rotating rod 41 is perpendicular to the first positioning seat 22 and the second positioning seat 23 , and the monitoring head 3 is fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 41 .
[0034] Through the above arrangement, when the monitoring range of the monitoring head 3 needs to be adjusted, the second motor 4 is driven to drive the angle of the monitoring head 3 to deflect through the rotating rod 41, thereby adjusting the monitoring range of the monitoring head 3.
[0035] In order to prevent people from outside from observing the deflection angle of the monitoring head 3 and make people intentionally avoid the monitoring area of the monitoring head 3, therefore, in this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a spherical protective cover 5 is provided on the outer side of the monitoring head 3 , wherein the protective cover 5 is made of a one-way light-transmitting material so that outsiders cannot observe the status of the monitoring head 3 .
[0036] In order to facilitate the installation of the protective cover 5, in this embodiment, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the protective cover 5 is formed by buckling a first hemispherical shell 51 and a second hemispherical shell 52 , and the monitoring head 3 is installed and buckled in the cavity of the protective cover 5 .
[0037] With long-term use, dust from the outside falls onto the protective cover 5 to prevent the dust from contacting the monitoring head 3. In order to improve the quality of the image of the monitoring head 3, it is only necessary to clean the dust on the protective cover 5.
[0038] Therefore, in this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a water storage chamber 21 is provided on the main body 2, and a cleaning component 6 that can be switched between two states is provided on the main body 2. In the first state, the cleaning component 6 abuts against the protective cover 5 to clean the protective cover 5. In the second state, a gap is provided between the cleaning component 6 and the protective cover 5 to facilitate cleaning of the cleaning component 6. A driving mechanism for driving the protective cover 5 to rotate is also included, which further includes a first delivery pipe 601 that delivers water in the water storage chamber 21 to the cleaning component 6.
[0039] Through the above arrangement, when the protective cover 5 needs to be cleaned, clean water is delivered to the cleaning component 6 through the first delivery pipe 601, thereby moistening the cleaning component 6, switching the cleaning component 6 to the first state, making the cleaning component 6 abut against the protective cover 5, and then utilizing the driving mechanism to drive the protective cover 5 to rotate, thereby changing the contact position between the protective cover 5 and the cleaning component 6, and utilizing the wet cleaning component 6 to clean the stubborn dust on the protective cover 5.
[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cleaning component 6 is arranged in an arc shape. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes cleaning cotton 61 and a second delivery tube 602, wherein the cleaning cotton 61 is used to abut against the protective cover 5, the second delivery tube 602 is connected to the first delivery tube 601, and the second delivery tube 602 is provided with a plurality of leakage holes, wherein the leakage holes are aligned with the cleaning cotton 61.
[0041] The water is transported to the second transport pipe 602 by the first transport pipe 601, and then discharged evenly onto the cleaning cotton 61 through the water leakage hole to wet the cleaning cotton 61. The dust on the protective cover 5 can be removed by the relative movement of the cleaning cotton 61 and the protective cover 5.
[0042] In order to switch the cleaning component 6 between the first state and the second state, in this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes an electric telescopic rod 8 installed on the main body 2, wherein the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the cleaning component 6.
[0043] If the first delivery pipe 601 is not processed, the water in the water storage chamber 21 will be continuously delivered to the second delivery pipe 602 and the cleaning cotton 61 through the first delivery pipe 601, resulting in unnecessary waste of clean water. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a control valve 24 installed on the main body 2, wherein one end of the control valve 24 is connected to the first delivery pipe 601, and the other end of the control valve 24 is connected to the water storage chamber 21, and also includes a central control unit for controlling the opening or closing of the control valve 24, and the central control unit is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 8 to control the extension or retraction of the electric telescopic rod 8, thereby realizing the switching of the cleaning component 6 between two states.
[0044] After the protective cover 5 is cleaned, the dust on the cleaning cotton 61 needs to be cleaned to prevent the dust from sticking to the protective cover 5 again during the next cleaning of the protective cover 5. Therefore, the central control unit is used to send a retraction signal to the electric telescopic rod 8, thereby driving the cleaning component 6 to be in the second state, so that the cleaning cotton 61 is out of contact with the protective cover 5, and then the central control unit controls the control valve 24 to open, and clean water is continuously supplied to the cleaning cotton 61, thereby flushing away the dust on the cleaning cotton 61.
[0045] It is worth mentioning that after the protective cover 5 is cleaned, the cleaning component 6 is switched to the second state to prevent the sewage flowing out of the cleaning cotton 61 from being re-washed and stained on the protective cover 5, thereby avoiding the protective cover 5 from being contaminated.

As the protective cover 5 rotates, the wiping cloth 7 wipes the protective cover 5 to dry the moisture on the surface of the protective cover 5 .
[0050] In order to realize the rotation of the protective cover 5, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a third motor 93, a third gear 91 and a fourth gear 92, wherein the third motor 93 is fixedly mounted on the second positioning seat 23, the output shaft of the third motor 93 is fixedly connected to the fourth gear 92, the third gear 91 is rotatably mounted on the second positioning seat 23, the fourth gear 92 and the third gear 91 are meshed with each other, and a connecting member 53 is also fixedly provided on the protective cover 5, and the connecting member 53 is dynamically connected to the third gear 91.
[0051] Specifically, the third gear 91 is provided with a spline groove, and the connecting member 53 is provided with spline teeth.

Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second positioning seat 23 is detachably connected to the main body 2. Specifically, a slide groove 25 is provided on the main body 2, and a clamping block 231 that is inserted into the slide groove 25 is fixedly provided on the second positioning seat 23. When the clamping block 231 is inserted into the slide groove 25, the clamping block 231 can be locked with the main body 2 using a conventional locking mechanism.
[0053] Through the above arrangement, in the first step, the second motor 4 is fixed on the first positioning seat 22, and then the first hemispherical shell 51 and the second hemispherical shell 52 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the monitoring head 3, and the first hemispherical shell 51 and the second hemispherical shell 52 are used to form a protective cover 5, and the connecting piece 53 is assembled.
