Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mining cameras, in particular to a dust-proof structure for a mining camera lens. Background Art

[0002] Mine cameras are video surveillance equipment used for image capture and transmission at important locations underground in coal mines. They are suitable for coal mines containing explosive mixed gases such as methane and hydrogen and with explosion hazards. They can achieve real-time monitoring and transmit the production site conditions underground to the monitoring center in real time, so that managers can understand the production status in a timely manner and discover and deal with safety hazards. In addition, when a safety accident occurs, mine cameras can record the scene of the accident and provide strong evidence for accident investigation.

[0003] Mining cameras are generally composed of an explosion-proof shell and a movement, and the movement is fixed in the explosion-proof shell. The movement consists of some modules such as a power board, an optical terminal, a camera, and an infrared fill light. In order to adapt to the harsh environment of coal mines, mining cameras usually use industrial-grade materials, such as international 304 stainless steel, to meet the safety production needs of coal mines. Since the air in the mine contains a lot of dust, it is easy to block the camera lens. Some mining cameras will set a dust scraping strip in front of the camera lens to scrape off the dust. Keeping the lens clean makes the video clearer.

[0004] However, since the air in the mine contains too much dust, the scraper strip will be attached with more dust after being used for a long time. The longer the use time, the worse the cleaning effect, and the scraper strip needs to be cleaned frequently. In view of this, the present application proposes a dust-proof structure for mining camera lenses. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, four air outlets are provided on one side of the dust cover, and the four air flow pipes all pass through the air outlets and extend to the interior of the dust cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting air-permeable plate comprises a plurality of mounting rods fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the dustproof housing, a mounting circular plate is fixedly mounted on one end of the mounting rod, and the fan and the motor are arranged on both sides of the mounting circular plate.

[0010] Furthermore, an air filter element is slidably mounted on the inner side wall of the dustproof housing, and the air filter element is located on the side of the air permeable plate where the motor is mounted.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting baffle is fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the metal shell, a camera is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting baffle, and the lens of the camera is located inside the lens hole.

The motor 6 drives the fan 5 to rotate, forming airflow inside the dust cover 3, and the airflow enters the inside of the dust cover 2 through the air flow pipe 7 and blows out toward the opening of the dust cover 2, thereby reducing the dust entering the inside of the dust cover 2.

[0025] Meanwhile, the ventilation plate 4 includes a plurality of mounting rods 41 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the dustproof housing 3 , one end of the mounting rods 41 is fixedly mounted with a mounting circular plate 42 , and the fan 5 and the motor 6 are arranged on both sides of the mounting circular plate 42 .

[0026] The inner wall of the dustproof housing 3 is slidably mounted with an air filter 8, which is located on the side of the air permeable plate 4 where the motor 6 is mounted. The air filter 8 filters the air entering the airflow pipe 7 and absorbs the dust in the air.

The cleaning motor 15 drives the driving gear 16 to rotate, drives the driven gear 14 to rotate, drives the connecting rod 11 to rotate, drives the rotating block 12 to rotate, and drives the cleaning rubber strip 13 to slide on the lens surface of the camera 10 to clean the lens of the camera 10.

[0030] When this embodiment is in use, an outward airflow is formed inside the dust cover 2 through the dustproof component to prevent dusty air in the mine from entering the dust cover 2, thereby protecting the lens of the camera 10 from dust and reducing the dust attached to the lens of the camera 10.

[0031] The electrical components appearing in the article are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device for control such as a computer, and the existing public power connection technology is not described in detail in the article.
