[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The core of this utility model is to provide an infrared equipment protection device. Through the combined action of the mounting shell and the protective shell, rain and snow are blocked, preventing rain and snow from interfering with the operation of the infrared equipment and affecting its normal and reliable operation in rainy and snowy weather. Another core of this utility model is to provide an unmanned vehicle system including the infrared equipment protection device.

[0037] The infrared equipment protection device provided by the utility model includes a mounting shell 1 and a protective shell 2. Please refer to Figure 1 The infrared device may specifically be an infrared radiating device or an infrared grating.

[0038] The mounting shell 1 is used to cover the infrared device, that is, to install a component of the position-limiting infrared device. When in use, the mounting shell 1 is directly placed on the infrared device to limit its movement.

[0039] Protective housing 2 is tightly connected to mounting housing 1 to provide reliable protection against rain and snow, preventing the infrared device from shifting due to prolonged exposure outdoors. In rainy or snowy weather, heavy snow and water accumulate on the outside of protective housing 2 and mounting housing 1, preventing the infrared device from operating normally.

[0040] Taking a specific implementation as an example, the protective shell 2 and the mounting shell 1 are pre-sealed and connected and then placed on the infrared device to improve the efficiency of the operation.

[0041] Taking another specific implementation as an example, the installation shell 1 is first placed on the infrared device, and then the protective shell 2 and the installation shell 1 are connected, so as to facilitate observation of the installation status of the infrared device in the installation shell 1 and ensure that the infrared device is reliably installed.

[0042] In the above two specific embodiments, the sealed connection can be achieved by welding, integrally forming, or by using a seal.

[0043] In the above two specific embodiments, after the specific mounting shell 1 is covered on the infrared device, the mounting shell 1, the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2 can be reliably connected to the ground through fasteners to ensure that the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2 will not be easily blown off or knocked down, thereby ensuring reliable protection of the internal infrared equipment.

[0044] In this embodiment, the protective shell 2 is connected to the mounting shell 1 and is specifically located on the signal receiving and transmitting path of the infrared device. It is mainly used to prevent rain and snow from drifting into the mounting shell 1 and affecting the operation of the infrared device inside it, ensuring the reliable and normal operation of the infrared device in rainy and snowy weather, and ensuring the service life of the infrared device.

[0045] Furthermore, a signal opening 21 is provided on the side of the protective shell 2. The signal opening 21 provides space for the passage of signals from the transmitting end or the receiving end of the infrared device. The size of the signal opening 21 can be flexibly set according to the specific usage.

[0046] In a more preferred embodiment, the size of the signal opening 21 is sufficient for use and cannot be set too large to prevent rain and snow from entering the protective shell 2 through the signal opening 21 and indirectly affecting the normal operation of the infrared device in the installation shell 1.

[0047] Shielding plates, such as umbrella-like structures, can be set on both sides of the signal opening 21 to prevent rain and snow from sliding down from both sides of the signal opening 21 and from entering the protective shell 2 through the signal opening 21, thereby ensuring reliable and effective protection for the infrared equipment.

[0048] The above-mentioned protective device includes a mounting shell 1 and a protective shell 2. The mounting shell 1 is used to cover the infrared device, and the protective shell 2 is tightly connected to the mounting shell 1 and works together to block rain and snow, avoiding the influence of rain and snow on the infrared device, ensuring that the infrared device can still work normally in rainy and snowy weather, avoiding the deviation of the infrared device caused by rain, snow or wind, ensuring that the infrared device still has good working accuracy after long-term outdoor operation, and ensuring the service life of the infrared device; further, a signal port 21 is provided on the side of the protective shell 2, and the signal port 21 is used for signal reception and transmission of the infrared device in the mounting shell 1. While strengthening the protection effect of the infrared device through the protective shell 2, it does not affect the normal signal reception and transmission operation of the infrared device, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the infrared device.

[0049] On the basis of the above embodiment, a cover 3 is further included, which is used to cover the top of the installation shell 1 and the protective shell 2 to form a closed protective structure.

[0050] Specifically, openings are provided at the top of the mounting shell 1 and the top of the protective shell 2, which are closed by the cover 3 to prevent rain and snow from entering the protective shell 2 and the mounting shell 1 through the openings, thereby ensuring reliable protection of the infrared device.

[0051] In one embodiment, the cover 3, the top opening of the mounting shell 1, and the top opening of the protective shell 2 are connected in an openable and closable manner. A sealing gasket is provided to ensure a seal between the cover 3 and the top opening. Specifically, the sealing gasket may be a corrugated sealing ring disposed on the cover 3. Opening the cover 3 allows for inspection of the interiors of the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2. Any anomalies, such as leaks, can be promptly removed, cleaned, or replaced. Furthermore, opening the cover 3 allows for installation and commissioning of the infrared device, ensuring its secure installation within the mounting shell 1.

[0052] In another specific embodiment, the cover 3, the top opening of the mounting shell 1, and the top opening of the protective shell 2 are welded to form a top-sealed effect to prevent rain and snow from entering and affecting the normal operation of the infrared device.

[0053] The sum of the top opening areas of the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2 is no greater than the area of ​​the cover 3, ensuring that the cover 3 provides reliable and effective protection for the top opening. For example, the cover 3 can be configured as an umbrella-like structure with a slope that facilitates the sliding of rain and snow, preventing rainwater accumulation and ensuring that the overall protective device remains reliable and stable even after long-term use.

[0054] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the cover 3 covers the top of the installation shell 1 and the protective shell 2;

[0055] A snap-fit ​​buckle is provided on the side of at least one of the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2 , and the snap-fit ​​buckle is snap-fitted to the cover 3 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the mounting shell 1 and protective shell 2 are connected to the cover 3 by a snap-fit ​​connection. Specifically, the cover 3 covers the top of the mounting shell 1 and protective shell 2. Covering here means completely covering the top openings of the mounting shell 1 and protective shell 2 without leaving any gaps. For example, the cover 3 is configured as a U-shaped structure or a square structure with an opening. The opening of the square structure is used to facilitate the cover 3 to cover the mounting shell 1 and protective shell 2.

[0057] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​buckle is provided on the side of at least one of the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2, and the cover 3 is securely connected by snapping the snap-fit ​​buckle with the cover 3. The snap-fit ​​here can be specifically snapped with the snap-fit ​​buckle and the top of the cover 3, or with the snap-fit ​​buckle and the side of the cover 3, and the snap-fit ​​buckle can be flexibly selected based on the convenience of the specific operation.

[0058] Taking a preferred embodiment as an example, snap buckles are provided on the sides of the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2, and the snap buckles are used to snap onto the sides of the cover 3 to ensure a reliable and firm connection of the cover 3 and to ensure the stability and reliability of the protective device as a whole.

[0059] Based on any of the above embodiments, the bottom of the mounting shell 1 and the bottom of the protective shell 2 both have openings, and the openings are used to provide space for the infrared device to enter the mounting shell 1 .

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, openings are provided at the bottom of the mounting shell 1 and the bottom of the protective shell 2. When the infrared device is covered in the mounting shell 1, the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2 are usually moved downward together from top to bottom. In order to avoid interference of the bottom of the protective shell 2 with the mounting shell 1 and the infrared device covering operation, and to facilitate the simplicity and convenience of the overall processing of the protective shell 2 and the mounting shell 1, openings are provided at the bottom of the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2, and the openings at the bottom of the two are connected to provide space for the infrared device to enter the mounting shell 1.

[0061] Based on any of the above embodiments, the signal channel of the mounting shell 1 is aligned with the signal port 21 , the length of the protective shell 2 is greater than the length of the mounting shell 1 , and the width W2 of the protective shell 2 is less than the width W1 of the mounting shell 1 .

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 The signal channel of the mounting shell 1 is aligned with the signal port 21 for sending and receiving signals. The length direction of the protective shell 2 and the length direction of the mounting shell 1 are both the directions in which the infrared device sends and receives signals. By limiting the length L2 of the protective shell 2 to be greater than the length L1 of the mounting shell 1, the protective effect of the protective shell 2 on the mounting shell 1 is ensured, and rain and snow are prevented from entering the mounting shell 1, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the infrared device. By setting a longer protective shell 2, the overall reliability of the protective device in wind and rain conditions is ensured, thereby ensuring reliable and effective protection of the infrared device.

[0063] Furthermore, since a signal opening 21 is provided on the side of the protective shell 2, in order to reduce the possibility of rain and snow drifting into the signal opening 21, the width W2 of the signal opening 21 is set to be narrower, specifically smaller than the width W1 of the mounting shell 1, so that avoidance signal transmission and reception can be achieved.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 Specifically, the signal transmission and reception here is that infrared devices are usually used in pairs, one for transmitting signals and the other for receiving signals. The signal port 21 at the transmitting end is used to avoid the signal transmitted by the infrared device, and the signal port 21 at the receiving end is used to avoid blocking the corresponding infrared device from receiving the transmitted signal.

[0065] Based on any of the above embodiments, the height of the signal port 21 is consistent with the height of the inner chamber of the mounting shell 1, and the height of the inner chamber of the mounting shell 1 is set corresponding to the height of the infrared device, so that the signal port 21 of the protective shell 2 can pass the signal smoothly and ensure the smooth passage of light.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 The mounting shell 1, the protective shell 2, and the cover 3 form a T-shaped structure, which ensures a reliable limiting installation effect for the infrared equipment, reduces the floor space of the protective device while achieving a protective effect, and improves applicability.

[0067] Based on any of the above embodiments, the mounting shell 1, protective shell 2, and cover 3 are integrally formed, ensuring the overall strength of the protective device while facilitating processing. The protective device can be formed using a single mold, reducing production costs. The specific integral forming process can be casting or injection molding, depending on the specific usage.

[0068] Based on any of the above embodiments, the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2 are integrally formed, the cover 3 is welded to the top of the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2, the protective shell 2 and the mounting shell 1 are integrally formed through a set of molds, and the cover 3 is then welded to the protective shell 2 and the mounting shell 1.

[0069] Based on any of the above embodiments, the mounting shell 1 and the protective shell 2 are both stainless steel shells, and the cover 3 is a stainless steel cover plate, ensuring that they will not rust when used outdoors, thereby ensuring the overall service life and overall operational reliability of the protective device.

[0070] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, both the protective shell 2 and the mounting shell 1 are provided with guide portions to facilitate the sliding of rain and snow.

[0071] The specific setting of the guide part can be set in the form of an inclined surface, a slope, etc., which can make the rain and snow slide off the protective shell 2 and the installation shell 1 when it rains and snows heavily, avoiding the pressure of accumulated water and snow on the protective device, and reducing the possibility of accumulated water and snow entering the installation shell 1.

[0072] The utility model also provides an unmanned vehicle system, comprising:

[0073] The two infrared equipment protection devices are arranged opposite to each other. The infrared equipment protection devices are the infrared equipment protection devices described in any of the above embodiments. The signal ports 21 of the two infrared equipment protection devices are arranged opposite to each other. The two equipment protection devices can be connected to the ground through reinforcements to further ensure the stability and reliability of the protection devices.

[0074] The first infrared device and the second infrared device are used to detect the information of the passing of the car. The first infrared device and the second infrared device send out a signal and the other receives the signal. When no signal is received, it means that a car has passed. When the signal is received without obstruction, it means that no car has passed.

[0075] The first infrared device and the second infrared device are respectively arranged in two infrared device protection devices. The first infrared device and the second infrared device are effectively protected by the protection devices to ensure the reliable operation of the infrared devices in adverse weather such as rain and snow, and to ensure long-term, stable and effective reliable detection of vehicle traffic conditions.

[0076] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0077] The above describes in detail the infrared equipment protection device and unmanned vehicle system provided by the present invention.
