[0002] There is a large amount of transportation time required for ready-mixed concrete from production to pouring. During this stage, the concrete's construction performance gradually deteriorates as the cement hydration reaction progresses, which is also known as the slump loss over time. Therefore, most mixing plants use retarders to reduce the performance loss of ready-mixed concrete during transportation. At the same time, various unexpected situations may occur during the transportation of concrete, affecting the construction performance of the ready-mixed concrete. Thus, it is necessary to monitor the state of the concrete in real time.

[0003] In the prior art, some companies have developed remote on-vehicle monitoring devices, which are paired with an admixture addition system to enable technicians to monitor the state of the concrete mixture in the concrete mixer truck in real time on the mobile terminal without leaving the office, and add admixtures according to the actual construction requirements. However, the remote on-vehicle monitoring devices used by them will inevitably cause the concrete mixture to be sprayed onto the camera during use, affecting the monitoring effect of the monitoring device on the concrete mixture.

[0004] To solve the above problems, a fully enclosed fixed on-vehicle concrete mixture remote online monitoring device with a cleaning function is designed. Summary of the Utility Model

A first opening facing the mixing drum 12 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and a transparent mudguard 4 is arranged in the first opening. The transparent mudguard 4 closes the first opening. Then, the cover plate 2 is installed on the upper opening of the housing 1 to seal the whole device, so that during the loading process of the mixer truck, when the concrete mixture enters the mixing drum 12 through the feeding hopper 11, the monitoring device is not affected by the impact of the concrete mixture, and the protection effect is better. The camera 10 observes the state of the concrete in the mixing drum 12 through the transparent mudguard 4, and when the light is insufficient, the supplementary light 9 is turned on for supplementary lighting. A spraying device 3 is arranged on the housing 1. The spraying device 3 is located above the transparent mudguard 4 and faces the transparent mudguard 4. When the transparent mudguard 4 is contaminated by concrete, water is supplied from the water tank 13 to the spraying device 3, and the spraying device 3 washes the transparent mudguard 4 through a plurality of water spray holes 31 to keep the transparent mudguard 4 clean and prevent the concrete from coagulating and affecting the monitoring effect of the camera 10.
