[0024] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 6 This embodiment is described in further detail.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an automatic cleaning shell of an industrial camera in this embodiment includes a shell 100 for installing a spherical camera, a cleaning component is provided at the lower end of the shell 100, and the cleaning component includes a mounting ring 200, a protective cover 110 covering the outside of the spherical lens is provided in the mounting ring 200, a rotatable wiping arc plate 120 for wiping the protective cover 110 is provided in the mounting ring 200, a sponge 210 is provided on one side of the wiping arc plate 120 facing the protective cover 110, a storage cavity 411 for storing cleaning liquid is provided in the mounting ring 200 along its circumference, an opening and closing component is provided on the side wall of the storage cavity 411, and the wiping arc plate 120 is rotated into the mounting ring 200 to drive the opening and closing component to open, so that the cleaning liquid flows into the sponge 210.

[0026] The housing 100 in this embodiment has a cavity inside, which can be used to install an existing spherical camera. When the spherical camera is installed in the housing 100, the spherical lens on it can extend from the lower end of the housing 100 so that the spherical camera can collect images. In actual use, in order to install the housing 100 on a mounting surface such as a wall, a mounting bracket 130 for mounting the housing 100 is provided at the upper end of the housing 100.

[0027] In actual use of this embodiment, the protective cover 110 is hemispherical. When the mounting ring 200 is installed at the lower end of the housing 100, the protective cover 110 can be arranged outside the spherical lens, which can better protect the spherical lens and prevent dust from falling on it. At the same time, the protective cover 110 is made of transparent material and will not affect the image acquisition of the spherical lens.

[0028] In order to realize that the mounting ring 200 is mounted at the lower end of the housing 100, that is, the cleaning assembly is mounted at the lower end of the housing 100, the lower end of the housing 100 and close to the outer edge thereof extend downward to form a mounting ring portion, and the mounting ring 200 is threadedly connected in the mounting ring portion;

[0029] In this embodiment, the protective cover 110 is installed in the mounting ring 200. When the mounting ring 200 is disassembled at the lower end of the housing 100, the protective cover 110 can be disassembled outside the spherical lens. Figure 5 As shown, the inner side wall of the mounting ring 200 is provided with a thread groove 511 along its circumference, and the opening end of the protective cover 110 is provided with a connecting portion threadably matched with the thread groove 511. By threading the connecting portion in the thread groove 511, the protective cover 110 can be preferably disassembled and assembled in the mounting ring 200;

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to prevent dust from falling on the protective cover 110 and affecting the image acquisition of the spherical lens, the wiping arc plate 120 and the sponge 210 are arranged so that the wiping arc plate 120 rotates in the mounting ring 200, and can drive the sponge 210 to scrape and wipe the outer surface of the protective cover 110, so as to better remove the dust on the outer surface of the protective cover 110, wherein the shape of the wiping arc plate 120 is adapted to the outer surface of the protective cover 110, so as to improve the wiping effect of the sponge 210 on the outer surface of the protective cover 110;

[0031] In this embodiment, by setting the storage cavity 411 and the opening and closing assembly, in actual use, in the initial state, the opening and closing assembly can be closed, which can prevent the cleaning liquid in the storage cavity 411 from flowing out. When the wiping arc plate 120 rotates into the mounting ring 200, the opening and closing assembly can be opened, and then the cleaning liquid in the storage cavity 411 flows into the sponge 210, thereby improving the wiping effect of the sponge 210 on the protective cover 110;

[0032] Among them, the cleaning liquid can be industrial alcohol. Using industrial alcohol to wet the sponge 210 can improve its wiping effect. At the same time, alcohol can evaporate quickly to avoid the cleaning liquid remaining on the protective cover 110 and affecting the operation of the spherical lens.

[0033] Combination Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the lower side surface of the mounting ring 200 is provided with an annular groove 311 along its circumference, and the two end portions of the wiping arc plate 120 are extended into the annular groove 311, and the lower side surface of the mounting ring 200 is provided with mounting grooves 312 opposite to each other, and the two ends of the wiping arc plate 120 are provided with rotating shafts 321 extending into the corresponding mounting grooves 312, and one of the two rotating shafts 321 is provided with a first gear 322 located in the corresponding mounting groove 312, and a motor 330 is provided in the mounting groove 312, and a second gear 331 meshing with the first gear 322 is provided on the output shaft of the motor 330.

[0034] In this embodiment, the annular groove 311, the mounting groove 312 and the rotating shaft 321 are arranged so that in actual use, the two ends of the wiping arc plate 120 are extended into the annular groove 311, and the rotating shaft 321 is used to penetrate the side wall of the annular groove 311 and extend into the corresponding mounting groove 312, so that the wiping arc plate 120 can be preferably rotatably installed in the annular groove 311;

[0035] Among them, through the arrangement of the first gear 322, the second gear 331 and the motor 330, in actual use, the motor 330 is fixedly installed in the corresponding installation groove 312, and the second gear 331 is driven by the motor 330 to drive the first gear 322 to rotate, thereby preferably realizing the reciprocating rotation of the wiping arc plate 120 in the annular groove 311, that is, realizing that the wiping arc plate 120 drives the sponge 210 to rotate and wipe the outer surface of the protective cover 110;

[0036] It should be pointed out that when this embodiment is actually used, by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 330, the wiping arc plate 120 can be driven to reciprocate in the annular groove 311 to wipe and clean the protective cover 110, wherein when the motor 330 stops driving the wiping arc plate 120 to rotate, the wiping arc plate 120 can be rotated into the annular groove 311 to prevent it from being blocked outside the protective cover 110 and affecting the operation of the spherical lens.

[0037] Combination Figure 4-6 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of mounting rods 421 are axially provided in the storage cavity 411 along the mounting ring 200, and the plurality of mounting rods 421 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the storage cavity 411; the opening and closing assembly includes a blocking plate 431 which is circumferentially provided along the storage cavity 411 and overlapped on the side wall of the annular groove 311, and the plurality of mounting rods 421 are all arranged through the blocking plate 431, and a spring 422 for driving the blocking plate 431 to fit the side wall of the annular groove 311 is sleeved on the mounting rod 421; drip holes 611 which are connected to the storage cavity 411 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the annular groove 311, and a resist column 621 which penetrates the corresponding drip holes 611 and extends into the annular groove 311 is provided on the blocking plate 431.

[0038] In actual use, the blocking plate 431 is penetrated by a plurality of mounting rods 421, so that the blocking plate 431 is preferably limited, so that the lifting and lowering of the blocking plate 431 in the storage chamber 411 is more stable, wherein the spring 422 is provided so that the spring 422 can drive the blocking plate 431 to move downward, so that the blocking plate 431 fits the side wall of the annular groove 311 in the storage chamber 411, so as to block the drip hole 611, and at this time, the opening and closing assembly is in a closed state; wherein, in order to improve the blocking effect of the blocking plate 431 on the drip hole 611, a sealing gasket is provided at the lower end of the blocking plate 431;

[0039] Among them, by setting the drip hole 611 and the anti-pillar 621, in actual use, the aperture of the drip hole 611 is larger than the diameter of the anti-pillar 621, so that when the wiping arc plate 120 rotates back into the annular groove 311, the wiping arc plate 120 can squeeze the anti-pillar 621 to retract into the storage chamber 411, thereby driving the blocking plate 431 to move upward, so that the drip hole 611 is opened. At this time, the cleaning liquid in the storage chamber 411 can flow out of the drip hole 611, be absorbed by the sponge 210 and flow into the sponge 210, even if the sponge 210 is wet, its wiping effect is improved; when the motor 330 drives the wiping arc plate 120 to rotate out of the annular groove 311, the squeezing of the anti-pillar 621 is released, and the spring 422 drives the blocking plate 431 to move downward, so as to achieve the blocking of the drip hole 611;

[0040] In actual use, the aperture size of the drip hole 611 needs to be designed to prevent the cleaning liquid from flowing out of the drip hole 611 too fast, resulting in excessive cleaning liquid flowing into the sponge when the opening and closing component is opened and closed once, causing waste; wherein, in order to enable the opening and closing component to be installed in the storage cavity 411, the upper and lower sides of the storage cavity 411 are opened and arranged, and a cover plate is arranged at each opening;

[0041] It should be pointed out that the opening and closing assembly in this embodiment is only arranged in the annular groove 311 on one side of the wiping arc plate 120. Therefore, when the motor 330 stops driving the wiping arc plate 120 to rotate, the wiping arc plate 120 can rotate into the annular groove 311 on the other side to avoid the opening of the opening and closing assembly, causing the cleaning liquid to flow out.

[0042] In this embodiment, in order to be able to replenish cleaning liquid into the storage chamber 411, a liquid inlet pipe (not shown in the figure) for adding cleaning liquid to the storage chamber 411 is provided in another installation groove 312, and a plugging cap is threadedly connected to the opening of the liquid inlet pipe. Therefore, when it is necessary to replenish cleaning liquid into the storage chamber 411, the mounting ring 200 is unscrewed, the plugging cap on the liquid inlet pipe is opened, and the cleaning liquid can be replenished into the storage chamber 411 through the liquid inlet pipe.

[0043] Working principle: When the outer surface of the protective cover 110 needs to be wiped and cleaned, the motor 330 is controlled to start, driving the wiping arc plate 120 to reciprocate in the annular groove 311, driving the sponge 210 to wipe and clean the protective cover 110, wherein each time the wiping arc plate 120 rotates into one side of the annular groove 311, it can drive the opening and closing assembly to open automatically, so that the cleaning liquid in the storage cavity 411 flows into the sponge 210, so that the sponge 210 is moistened, thereby improving the wiping and cleaning effect of the protective cover 110, wherein the motor 330 is controlled to be turned off, so that the wiping arc plate 120 automatically rotates into the other side of the annular groove 311 for storage, thereby preventing the wiping arc plate 120 from rotating out and affecting the operation of the spherical lens.
