[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 As shown, the specific embodiment of the present utility model provides a video monitor, including a top cover 10, a housing 20, and a first electronic component 30 disposed in the housing 20 (seeFigure 4 As shown in the figure, the first electronic component 30 can be a circuit board 31 or a lens component 32. The top cover 10 is provided above the housing 20. A gap 11 is formed between the top cover 10 and the housing 20. The housing 20 is provided with a water chute 21 extending along the gap 11 on the inner side of the gap 11.
[0023] In the video monitor provided by the present utility model, when external rainwater penetrates through the gap 11, it will preferentially enter the water chute 21, and the water is drained through the water chute 21, which can prevent most of the rainwater from entering the interior of the housing 20.
[0024] The top cover 10 can be connected to a connector 50 to facilitate the installation of the video monitor. The video monitor can be a binocular monitor, which includes a monitoring component 51 installed below the housing 20.
[0025] In this embodiment, a screw post 25 for screwing the top cover 10 is provided in the water chute 21. The screw post 25 protrudes from the bottom surface of the water chute 21 to prevent rainwater from penetrating into the interior of the housing 20 through the screw post 25.
[0026] In this embodiment, a baffle 211 is provided on the housing 20. The baffle 211 protrudes upward from the gap 11. The baffle 211 serves as a side wall of the water chute 21 and is also used for positioning when the top cover 10 and the housing 20 are closed. When installing the top cover 10, it is positioned by the baffle 211, and the baffle 211 can block rainwater once. Rainwater that penetrates past the baffle 211 can enter the water chute 21.
[0027] More specifically, the housing 20 includes a partition 22, which can be integrally formed with the housing 20. The water chute 21 is provided on the partition 22. A through hole 26 is also provided on the partition 22. The through hole 26 is located in the space surrounded by the water chute 21. The water chute 21 is located outside the through hole 26. The video monitor further includes a second electronic component 40 (the second electronic component 40 can be an external WIFI antenna, for example) provided outside the housing 20. The second electronic component 40 is connected to the first electronic component 30 through a wire (not shown), and the wire enters the housing 20 through the through hole 26, which can well prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the housing 20 through the through hole 26.
[0028] The partition plate 22 includes a water collection layer 223 and a first diversion wall 224. The water flow groove 21 is non-closed. The water flow groove 21 includes drain openings 212 that are not connected at both ends. The height of the water collection layer 223 is lower than the height of the water flow groove 21. The water collection layer 223 is connected to the drain openings 212 through the first diversion wall 224. After rainwater enters the water flow groove 21, it will flow out from the drain openings 212 at both ends, and then flow to the water collection layer 223 through the first diversion wall 224, and the rainwater can be uniformly collected and discharged.
[0029] The partition plate 22 may include a first layer 221 and a second layer 222. The height of the second layer 222 is lower than the height of the first layer 221. The water flow groove 21 is provided on the first layer 221, and the through hole 26 is provided on the second layer 222. The height of the water collection layer 223 is lower than the height of the second layer 222, and a space A1 is formed above the second layer 222. In this way, other accessories of the video monitor (such as the wires) can be placed in the space A1 above the second layer 222.
[0030] The water collection layer 223 may further include a first sub-water collection layer 2231 and a second sub-water collection layer 2232. The height of the first sub-water collection layer 2231 is lower than the height of the second sub-water collection layer 2232. The second sub-water collection layer 2232 is connected to the first sub-water collection layer 2231 through a second diversion wall 225. The second sub-water collection layer 2232 is connected to the second layer 222 through a connecting wall. Vertically, the second sub-water collection layer 2232 is located between the drain openings 212 and the second layer 222. When rainwater flows out from the drain openings 212, it will directly flow to the first sub-water collection layer 2231 through the first diversion wall 224, or flow to the second sub-water collection layer 2232 through the first diversion wall 224 and then flow to the first sub-water collection layer 2231 through the second diversion wall 225. By separating the drain openings 212 and the second layer 222 through the second sub-water collection layer 2232, it can better prevent rainwater from directly entering the through hole 26 when flowing out of the drain openings 212.
[0031] The video monitor further includes a vertical plate 15. The vertical plate 15 is connected to the top cover 10. The vertical plate 15 may be integrally formed with the top cover 10. Both sides of the vertical plate 15 extend to the first diversion wall 224, and the lower end of the vertical plate 15 extends to the water collection layer 223. An accommodation space A2 is provided inside the vertical plate 15 above the water collection layer 223. The second electronic component 40 is installed on the vertical plate 15, and at least a part of the second electronic component 40 is located in the accommodation space A2.
[0032] Two first stop bars 27 respectively extending from one of the drain openings 212 along a corresponding first guiding wall 224 are provided on the housing 20, and a second stop bar 28 is provided on the water collecting layer 223 and connects the two side first stop bars 27. The first stop bar 27 and the second stop bar 28 can prevent rainwater flowing out from the water chute 21 from directly overflowing through the gaps 11 on both sides and the bottom gap 11 of the vertical plate 15.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the first electronic component 30 includes a circuit board 31 and a lens assembly 32. The video monitor further includes a cover plate 61 and a sealing ring 62. The circuit board 31 is connected to the cover plate 61 through a stud 63. The lens assembly 32 is installed on the cover plate 61. The cover plate 61 presses the sealing ring 62 against the edge of the installation opening 29 of the housing 20. The cover plate 61 can not only fix the circuit board 31 and the lens assembly 32, but also press the sealing ring 62. The cover plate 61 achieves the effect of multi-purpose use, thus saving accessories.
