[0039] Working principle: When the mirror surface of the cabin 2 needs to be cleaned, the motor 402 is started, and its output end drives the threaded rod 403 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 403 is threadedly connected to the moving block 406, and the inner wall of the moving block 406 is slidably connected to the guide column 404, the guide column 404 guides the moving block 406 to prevent it from rotating during rotation, so the moving block 406 will move horizontally along the direction of the guide column 404, and the moving block 406 drives the gear 408 to move horizontally synchronously through the rotating shaft 407. The outer wall of the gear 408 is meshed with the rack 405. During the horizontal movement, the gear 408 will rotate under the action of the rack 405, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 407 is fixedly connected to the gear 408. Therefore, the rotation of the gear 408 will drive the rotating shaft 407 to rotate. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 407 is provided with a cleaning ring 410, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 407 The movement drives the cleaning ring 410 to rotate synchronously. The outer wall of the cleaning ring 410 is provided with a brush, and the brush surface contacts the front end mirror surface of the cabin body 2. Through the rotation of the cleaning ring 410, the brush can clean the front end mirror surface of the cabin body 2, and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation can remove the cleaned dust. At the same time, during cleaning, the air pump inside the jet box 409 draws out the air and discharges it through the jet pipe 411. The movement of the rotating shaft 407 will drive the guide block 416 to move. The T-shaped surface of the guide block 416 cooperates with the T-shaped slide groove of the horizontal plate 412, so that the guide block 416 can slide on the inner wall of the horizontal plate 412, thereby driving the jet pipe 411 to move. The jet pipe 411 can perform a jet operation on the front end mirror surface of the cabin body 2 during the movement, so that the dust brushed off is blown away, avoiding dust and impurities from adhering to the mirror surface, cooperating with the cleaning work of the brush to improve the cleaning effect.

[0040] When the optoelectronic pod is subjected to a vertical impact force, the impact force is transmitted to the fixed column 502 through the connecting plate 1, and the fixed column 502 and the damping block 506 slide on the inner wall of the fixed rod 507. The fixed rod 507 is elastically connected to the damping block 506 through a connecting spring 508. One end of the connecting spring 508 is fixed to the bottom end of the fixed column 502, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom end of the fixed rod 507. The elasticity of the connecting spring 508 can absorb the impact force and play a buffering role. At this time, the connecting plate 501 will rotate, and the transverse block 505 can only move horizontally, thereby dispersing the vertical pressure, further enhancing the buffering effect of the buffer mechanism 5, and protecting the optoelectronic pod from excessive vibration and impact during movement.
