[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment: first slide grooves 10 are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the protective shell 7, and guide plates 11 are fixedly connected at both ends of the mounting shell 1, and the surface of the guide plate 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slide groove 10. When the staff puts the protective shell 7 on the front end of the mounting shell 1, the position of the protective shell 7 is guided and positioned through the sliding connection between the guide plate 11 and the first slide groove 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the protective shell 7 after being fixed and preventing the protective shell 7 from shaking and loosening after being fixed.
[0027] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the present embodiment: a second slide groove 12 is opened inside the slide rod 5, and a T-shaped rod 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second slide groove 12, and one end of the T-shaped rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the circular groove 4. When the spring 6 rebounds, the sliding trajectory of the slide rod 5 is restricted through the sliding connection between the second slide groove 12 and the T-shaped rod 13, preventing the spring 6 from popping the slide rod 5 out of the circular groove 4, so that the insertion of the slide rod 5 and the limiting hole 9 is more precise and stable, thereby improving the stability of the component operation.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment: the surface of the T-shaped rod 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the spring 6. Through the sliding connection between the T-shaped rod 13 and the spring 6, the spring 6 moves closely against the surface of the T-shaped rod 13 during operation, and the rebound running trajectory of the spring 6 is restricted to prevent the spring 6 from being entangled and stuck during operation, causing damage to the component.
[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the present embodiment: a rounded corner 14 is provided at one end of the slide rod 5. When the slide rod 5 is received in the circular groove 4, the rounded corner 14 provided at one end of the slide rod 5 allows the slide rod 5 to slide to the limiting hole 9 on the inner wall of the protective shell 7. The rounded feature of the rounded corner 14 allows the slide rod 5 to slide into the limiting hole 9 when it contacts the edge of the limiting hole 9, making the connection between the slide rod 5 and the limiting hole 9 smoother, and facilitating the staff to insert the slide rod 5 into the limiting hole 9 for fixing.
[0030] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in the present embodiment: long grooves 15 are provided on both sides of the protective shell 7, and a slide plate 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the long groove 15, and a cleaning wipe 17 is installed on the surface of the slide plate 16, and protruding pull rods 18 are fixedly connected at both ends of the slide plate 16. The staff pulls the protruding pull rod 18 to drive the slide plate 16 to slide upward in the inner wall of the long groove 15, so that the cleaning wipe 17 moves between the rear end of the tempered glass plate 8 and the front end of the camera body 3, wipes the surface of the tempered glass plate 8 and the camera body 3, and removes the fog generated on the surface of the tempered glass plate 8 and the camera body 3, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the camera body 3 and preventing the fog from blocking the shooting line of sight of the camera body 3.
[0031] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment: nut blocks 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective shell 7, and the internal threads of the nut blocks 19 are connected to the threaded rod 20, and the surface of the threaded rod 20 abuts against the top of the raised pull rod 18. The staff moves the raised pull rod 18 and the slide plate 16 to the bottom of the inner wall of the long groove 15, and then the nut block 19 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 20, so that the threaded rod 20 can be screwed to the top of the raised pull rod 18 through the nut block 19, abutting against the raised pull rod 18, and limiting the position of the slide plate 16 to the bottom of the long groove 15, preventing the slide plate 16 from moving during use of the device and blocking the shooting line of sight of the camera body 3.
[0032] Working principle: the staff presses the slide bar 5 inward to drive the spring 6 to contract and store force, so that the slide bar 5 is retracted into the circular groove 4, and then the protective shell 7 is put on the specified position of the front end of the installation shell 1, and then the slide bar 5 is released to release the force generated by the spring 6, so that the spring 6 rebounds and pushes the slide bar 5 into the limit hole 9, and the protective shell 7 and the tempered glass plate 8 are fixed to the front end of the installation shell 1, which provides surrounding protection for the camera body 3 to prevent the camera body 3 from being bumped and scratched during use, affecting the shooting effect, ensuring the stable operation of the camera body 3, and improving the service life of the device. It is convenient for the staff to disassemble and install the protective shell 7. When the staff removes the protective shell 7 When the sleeve is mounted on the front end of the mounting shell 1, the position of the protective shell 7 is guided and positioned through the sliding connection between the guide plate 11 and the first slide groove 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the protective shell 7 after being fixed and preventing the protective shell 7 from shaking and loosening after being fixed. When the spring 6 rebounds, the sliding connection between the second slide groove 12 and the T-shaped rod 13 is used to limit the movement trajectory of the slide bar 5, thereby preventing the spring 6 from popping out the slide bar 5 from the circular groove 4, so that the insertion of the slide bar 5 and the limiting hole 9 is more accurate and stable, thereby improving the stability of the component operation. The sliding connection between the T-shaped rod 13 and the spring 6 allows the spring 6 to move close to the surface of the T-shaped rod 13 during operation, thereby limiting the rebound operation trajectory of the spring 6. The sliding bar 5 is placed in the circular groove 4, and the rounded corner 14 is provided at one end of the sliding bar 5, so that when the sliding bar 5 slides to the limiting hole 9 on the inner wall of the protective shell 7, the rounded corner 14 has the circular feature, so that the sliding bar 5 can slide into the limiting hole 9 when it contacts the edge of the limiting hole 9, so that the insertion of the sliding bar 5 and the limiting hole 9 is smoother, and it is convenient for the staff to insert the sliding bar 5 into the limiting hole 9 for fixing. The staff pulls the protruding pull rod 18 to drive the slide plate 16 to slide upward in the inner wall of the long groove 15, so that the cleaning wipe 17 moves between the rear end of the tempered glass plate 8 and the front end of the camera body 3 to clean the tempered glass. The surfaces of the glass plate 8 and the camera body 3 are wiped, and the fog generated on the surfaces of the tempered glass plate 8 and the camera body 3 is removed to ensure the cleanliness of the camera body 3 and prevent the fog from blocking the shooting line of sight of the camera body 3. The staff moves the raised pull rod 18 and the slide plate 16 to the bottom of the inner wall of the long groove 15, and then connects the nut block 19 with the threaded rod 20 through the thread, so that the threaded rod 20 can be screwed to the top of the raised pull rod 18 through the nut block 19, abuts against the raised pull rod 18, and limits the position of the slide plate 16 to the bottom of the long groove 15, preventing the slide plate 16 from moving during the use of the device and blocking the shooting line of sight of the camera body 3.
