Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of image acquisition, and in particular relates to a self-protection image acquisition component for a pneumatic cleaning device of a coal bunker. Background Art

[0002] The existing coal bunker pneumatic cleaning device (see the attached description for details) Figure 4 ) are often paired with corresponding image acquisition devices for automated operation. However, some existing image acquisition devices are mostly protected by explosion-proof housing structures and lack effective external protection structures. This makes the equipment vulnerable to external environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and mechanical collisions during shutdown. This may cause damage to the electronic components and optical systems inside the equipment, resulting in the equipment not being able to work properly. Secondly, the accumulation of external debris may affect the image acquisition effect of the equipment, resulting in a decline in image quality and reduced monitoring and cleaning effects. In addition, if the necessary protection is not provided when the equipment stops working, the maintenance and inspection of the equipment will become complicated, because dust and particulate matter are easily inhaled during the shutdown process, which increases the difficulty of subsequent cleaning and maintenance.

[0003] To address this problem, common solutions include installing a protective cover around the equipment or adopting a sealed design to prevent dust and moisture from intruding. However, the implementation of these methods also has certain disadvantages. Setting up a protective cover may take up additional space, increasing the footprint of the equipment, which is not conducive to use in a coal bunker environment with limited space. In addition, the protective cover may cause inconvenience in the circulation of personnel during daily operations, affecting work efficiency. On the other hand, although the sealed design can prevent the influence of the external environment, it may cause the internal temperature of the equipment to rise after long-term use, affecting the heat dissipation performance of the electronic equipment and reducing its service life. Therefore, we hope to design an image acquisition component with a new structure to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

After the image acquisition module body 310 rotates a certain angle, the motor 220 is started to drive the slide 353 connected thereto through the rotating shaft 230 and the transmission belt 250, so that the entire image acquisition assembly 300 moves to the left until the entire image acquisition module body 310 enters through the inlet and outlet 110 on the right side of the protective box 100. After entering the protective box 100, the image acquisition module body 310 can reduce the impact of the external environment on it, which helps to increase the service life of the entire image acquisition module body 310. The use of a movable split structure facilitates the image acquisition module to collect image data and also facilitates subsequent maintenance.
