[0002] The working conditions at ports and terminals are relatively harsh, with various types of pollution, such as solid pollutants such as dust and debris, as well as liquid pollutants such as oil, seawater or rainwater. These pollutants will adhere to the camera lens and contaminate it, resulting in limited field of view, blurred images, reduced image quality, and other problems, which in turn affects the video monitoring and control effects, and ultimately causes the driver to be unable to carry out container loading and unloading operations normally, reducing the operating efficiency of ports and terminals.

[0029] Example 1.

[0030] See also Figure 1-5As shown, as an embodiment of the utility model, a camera with a blowing cleaning function is provided, comprising a protective cover 1, a camera body 2 installed in the protective cover 1, and a blower mechanism, the blower mechanism comprising a mounting portion 3, a pressurizing portion 5, and an air outlet portion 6 connected in sequence, a receiving cavity 8 is formed in the mounting portion 3, an air inlet 7 connected to the receiving cavity 8 and the outside is opened on the mounting portion 3, a fan 4 is installed in the receiving cavity 8, a pressurizing air duct 9 is formed in the pressurizing portion 5, an air outlet channel 10 is formed in the air outlet portion 6, the receiving cavity 8, the pressurizing air duct 9 and the air outlet channel 10 are connected in sequence, and an air outlet 101 of the air outlet channel 10 faces the lens glass of the camera body 2. On the outer side of the camera 18, by turning on the fan 4, the external air is sucked into the accommodating chamber 8 through the air inlet 7 and blown toward the air outlet 101. The airflow is pressurized by the supercharged air duct 9 to form a directional high-speed airflow, and finally blown out through the air outlet 10 and the air outlet 101 in sequence, so as to achieve efficient cleaning of the lens glass 18, which can not only remove liquid pollutants such as oil, seawater or rainwater, but also remove solid pollutants such as dust and debris, so that the lens glass 18 is always kept clean and tidy, thereby ensuring the clarity of the visual image, ensuring the video monitoring and control effect, and enabling the driver to carry out container loading and unloading operations normally, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the port terminal. The protective cover 1 is used to provide all-round shielding and protection for the hair dryer structure, ensuring that the hair dryer structure is not easily damaged, does not need to be frequently repaired and replaced, and is more convenient and practical. Of course, the camera with a blowing and cleaning function of the utility model can also be used in places other than ports and terminals, such as street places, etc., which are not limited here.

[0031] In this embodiment, the air outlet 6 corresponds to the front side and above the lens glass 18 of the camera body 2, the air outlet channel 10 is dovetail-shaped, and the width of the air outlet channel 10 gradually increases along the air outlet direction, so that the airflow blown out through the air outlet 101 of the air outlet channel 10 can be gradually diffused from top to bottom to the left and right sides to ensure the cleaning range of the lens glass 18. Of course, in other cases, the air outlet 6 can also correspond to any position on the periphery of the front side of the lens glass 18 of the camera body 2 (that is, it is not above the front side of the lens glass 18), as long as the air outlet direction of the air outlet 101 is toward the lens glass 18.

[0032] In this embodiment, the outer side surface of the lens glass 18 of the camera body 2 is circular, and the air outlet 101 is arc-shaped. The curvature of the air outlet 101 is the same as the curvature of the outer side surface of the lens glass 18 of the camera body 2, so that the airflow blown out through the air outlet 101 of the air outlet channel 10 corresponds to the shape of the outer side surface of the lens glass 18, thereby preventing the lens field of view from being blocked, and making it more beautiful. The cleaning process is reasonable and orderly, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 3 and the boosting portion 5 are L-shaped, the boosting portion 5 is horizontally arranged above the camera body 2, the mounting portion 3 is longitudinally arranged behind the camera body 2, the air inlet 7 is located at the bottom end of the mounting portion 3, the protective cover 1 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the protective cover 1 has a corresponding opening between the front side and the bottom side. A front stop portion 14 is formed in front of the protective cover 1 corresponding to the air outlet portion 6, and a lower stop portion 15 is formed below the protective cover 1 corresponding to the mounting portion 3. This arrangement enables the hair dryer mechanism to be fully covered and protected by the protective cover 1, which is more concealed and has a better protection effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the boost part 5 and the air outlet part 6 are integrally formed, and the longitudinal section of the boost air duct 9 is a rounded rectangle. The longitudinal section of the boost air duct 9 gradually decreases along the air outlet direction, thereby ensuring the boosting effect on the airflow, and there is an arc-shaped transition between the boost air duct 9 and the air outlet channel 10, which ensures the smoothness of the airflow, reduces resistance and noise, and reduces energy loss.

[0035] In this embodiment, a first protrusion 11 is provided on the top side of the boosting part 5, and the first protrusion 11 is locked and matched with the upper side wall of the protective cover 1. A second protrusion 12 is provided on the side of the mounting part 3 away from the camera body 2, and the second protrusion 12 is locked and matched with the rear side wall of the protective cover 1. This arrangement enables the hair dryer structure to be stably fixed in the protective cover 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lens glass 18 is a lens glass 18 with a nano-coating. The lens glass 18 adopts nano-vacuum coating technology and has extremely strong hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. Therefore, strong air blowing can effectively clean water stains and oil stains on the glass surface. In combination with a water spray structure, it can also effectively clean dust and dirt.

[0037] In this embodiment, the wind speed, air volume, hot air, cold air and time settings of the hair dryer can be automatically controlled or manually remotely controlled. It adopts an intelligent AI algorithm to determine the serious contamination of the current lens through image recognition and automatically turns on the cleaning mode. A heating module 19 and a heat dissipation module 20 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends corresponding to the camera body 2. The heating module 19 is close to the inner side of the lens glass 18 and is used to heat the lens glass 18 to remove the fog and frost on its surface. The heat dissipation module 20 is used to quickly transport the heat in the camera body 2 to the outside.

[0040] In this embodiment, a third protrusion 13 is provided on the bottom side of the mounting portion 3, and the third protrusion 13 is locked with the top side of the camera body 2; the top wall 16 is in a convex shape, and the upper inner part of the top wall 16 cooperates with the top of the camera body 2 to achieve the limitation of the boosting portion 5 and the mounting portion 3 in the up, down, left and right directions, thereby improving the overall installation stability of the hair dryer mechanism.

[0041] In this embodiment, the boosting part 5 includes an integrally formed cylinder 51 and a conical body 52. ​​The cylinder 51 is locked and matched with the mounting part 3, and the smaller end of the conical body 52 is locked and matched with the air outlet part 6. The corresponding boosting channels in the cylinder 51 and the conical body 52 are cylindrical and conical respectively. This arrangement enables the airflow in the boosting channel to achieve the purpose of rapid boosting, thereby ensuring the ultimate blowing cleaning force and effect of the air outlet channel 10.
