After a period of use, dust and other impurities can accumulate on the visual identification head of the visual identification sensor, affecting the visual collection function of the visual identification head and making it difficult to maintain normal operation of the Internet of Things. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0004] One purpose of the utility model is to provide a dustproof visual identification device based on the Internet of Things that can maintain accurate light collection during long-term use.

[0005] Another purpose of the utility model is to provide a thing networking system that can easily maintain stable normal operation for a long time by using the aforementioned dustproof visual identification device.

[0006] To achieve this purpose, the utility model uses the following technical solutions:

[0007] In the first aspect, a dustproof visual identification device based on the Internet of Things is provided, which includes:

[0008] A dust cover has a first accommodating cavity and a second accommodating cavity that are connected. The second accommodating cavity is located below the first accommodating cavity in the direction of gravity. The second accommodating cavity has a first hole that is connected to the outside of the dust cover.

[0009] A visual identification device is at least partially located in the first accommodating cavity, and the visual identification head of the visual identification device is arranged to face downward in the direction of gravity.

[0010] A mirror is located in the second accommodating cavity below the visual identification head in the direction of gravity. The mirror is inclined relative to the direction of gravity, and the mirror can reflect part of the light entering the second accommodating cavity from the first hole towards the visual identification head.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the dustproof visual identification device based on the Internet of Things, the visual identification head is located in the first accommodating cavity.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the aforementioned Internet of Things-based dustproof visual recognition device, the dust cover is further provided with a setting groove communicating with the second receiving cavity, and the mirror is at least partially fitted into the setting groove.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the aforementioned Internet of Things-based dustproof visual recognition device, a local area at the bottom of the groove is provided with a through hole that connects to the external space of the dustproof cover.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the aforementioned Internet of Things-based dustproof visual recognition device, the dust cover is further provided with a second hole connecting the internal space and the external space of the dust cover. The dustproof visual recognition device also includes a first air inlet pipe, which is connected to the second hole. The first air inlet pipe is used to connect to an air pump, and the air pump is used to deliver gas to the first air inlet pipe.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the aforementioned IoT-based dustproof visual recognition device, the air pump is also connected to the second air inlet pipe. The air pump can draw gas from the second air inlet pipe. A filter screen is provided inside the second air inlet pipe, and the end of the second air inlet pipe away from the air pump is connected to the external space.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the aforementioned Internet of Things-based dustproof visual recognition device, the second hole and the first hole are respectively located on opposite sides of the second receiving cavity along the horizontal direction.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the aforementioned Internet of Things-based dustproof visual recognition device, the second hole is located above the mirror along the direction of gravity, the second hole is inclined, and one end of the second hole that connects to the second receiving cavity is inclined downwards along the direction of gravity.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the aforementioned Internet of Things-based dustproof visual recognition device, the tilt angle of the central axis of the second hole relative to the direction of gravity is θ1, and the tilt angle of the surface of the mirror relative to the direction of gravity is θ2, where θ1≤θ2.

[0019] In a second aspect, an Internet of Things (IoT) system is provided, including at least one IoT-based dustproof visual recognition device as described in the first aspect above.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] By placing at least a portion of the visual recognition device within the first receiving cavity and positioning the visual recognition head downwards in the direction of gravity, dust and other impurities are less likely to fall onto the visual recognition head under the influence of gravity. Furthermore, by incorporating a mirror, a portion of the light entering through the first aperture can be reflected back to the visual recognition head for collection. In other words, the visual recognition head can collect a portion of the light from the external space facing the first aperture through the mirror. Additionally, a dust cover can partially cover the mirror, allowing external dust and other impurities to enter the second receiving cavity only through the first aperture. This reduces the probability of dust and other impurities adhering to the mirror surface, thereby enabling the dustproof visual recognition device to maintain accurate light collection even during prolonged use.

[0028] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a dustproof visual recognition device 100 based on the Internet of Things, including a dust cover 1, a visual recognizer 2, and a mirror 3. The dust cover 1 has a first receiving cavity 11 and a second receiving cavity 12 that are connected to each other. The second receiving cavity 12 is located below the first receiving cavity 11 along the direction of gravity G. The second receiving cavity 12 has a first hole 13 that communicates with the outside of the dust cover 1. The visual recognizer 2 is at least partially disposed in the first receiving cavity 11, and the visual recognition head 21 of the visual recognizer 2 is disposed facing downward along the direction of gravity G. The mirror 3 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 12 and is located below the visual recognition head 21 along the direction of gravity G. The mirror 3 is tilted relative to the direction of gravity G, and the mirror 3 can reflect part of the light that enters the second receiving cavity 12 from the first hole 13 back to the visual recognition head 21.

[0032] By placing at least a portion of the visual recognition device 2 within the first receiving cavity 11 and positioning the visual recognition head 21 downwards in the direction of gravity G, dust and other impurities are less likely to fall onto the visual recognition head 21 under the influence of gravity. Furthermore, by providing the mirror 3, a portion of the light entering through the first hole 13 can be reflected back to the visual recognition head 21 for collection. In other words, the visual recognition head 21 can collect a portion of the light from the external space facing the first hole 13 through the mirror 3. In addition, the dust cover 1 can partially cover the mirror 3, allowing external dust and other impurities to enter the second receiving cavity 12 only through the first hole 13, reducing the probability of dust and other impurities adhering to the surface of the mirror 3. This ensures that the dustproof visual recognition device 100 can maintain a relatively accurate light collection state during long-term use.

[0033] Optionally, the visual recognition head 21 is located inside the first receiving cavity 11, thereby enabling the dust cover 1 to better protect the visual recognition head 21 from dust and further reducing the possibility of dust and other impurities adhering to the visual recognition head 21.

[0034] Optionally, the dust cover 1 is also provided with a setting groove 14 communicating with the second receiving cavity 12. The mirror 3 is at least partially fitted in the setting groove 14, so that the mirror 3 can be limited by the setting groove 14, so that the relative position of the mirror 3 and the dust cover 1 can be kept stable. In the long-term use, the function of the mirror 3 reflecting part of the light entering from the first hole 13 to the visual recognition head 21 for the visual recognition head 21 to collect is kept stable.

[0035] Optionally, a partial area at the bottom of the mounting groove 14 is provided with a through hole 15 communicating with the external space of the dust cover 1. This allows the mirror 3 to be lifted from the external space of the dust cover 1 through the through hole 15 when it is necessary to remove the mirror 3 from the mounting groove 14. This makes it easier to remove the mirror 3 from the mounting groove 14, and eliminates the need to reserve space inside the dust cover 1 for the removal of the mirror 3, making the structure of the dustproof visual recognition device 100 more compact.

[0036] Please combine Figure 2As shown, optionally, the dust cover 1 is further provided with a second hole 16 connecting the internal space and the external space of the dust cover 1. The dustproof visual recognition device 100 also includes a first air inlet pipe 4, which is connected to the second hole 16. The first air inlet pipe 4 is used to connect to an air pump 51, which is used to supply gas to the first air inlet pipe 4. This allows the air pump 51 to supply gas to the internal space of the dust cover 1 through the first air inlet pipe 4 and the second hole 16, so that the internal space of the dust cover 1 can be maintained at a slightly higher air pressure than the external space. This allows the gas in the internal space of the dust cover 1 to be continuously discharged from the first hole 13, while the gas in the external space of the dust cover 1 is difficult to enter the internal space of the dust cover 1 through the first hole 13. This further reduces the entry of dust and other impurities from the external space into the internal space of the dust cover 1 through the first hole 13. In addition, this arrangement can also use the airflow blown out from the second hole 16 to blow away dust and other impurities that have already entered the internal space of the dust cover 1.

[0037] The air pump 51 may be a feature structure included in the dustproof visual recognition device 100, or it may be a feature structure included in the Internet of Things (IoT) system in which the dustproof visual recognition device 100 is applied. In other words, the IoT system may include an air pump 51 that is also used to supply air to other devices. The gas output pipe of the air pump 51 may be connected to multiple different air pipes, among which the multiple different air pipes include a first air inlet pipe 4. This allows for structural reuse of the air pump 51, making the composition of the IoT system simple and the cost of use low.

[0038] Optionally, the air pump 51 is also connected to the second air inlet pipe 52. The air pump 51 can draw gas from the second air inlet pipe 52. The second air inlet pipe 52 is provided with a filter screen 520. The end of the second air inlet pipe 52 away from the air pump 51 is connected to the external space, so that at least some of the dust and other impurities carried by the gas in the external space can be filtered out through the filter screen 520, so that the gas delivered from the air pump 51 to the first air inlet pipe 4 is a cleaner gas, and the gas output by the air pump 51 is prevented from polluting the internal space of the dust cover 1.

[0039] Optionally, the second hole 16 and the first hole 13 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second receiving cavity 12 in the horizontal direction, so that the gas supplied from the second hole 16 to the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12 can flow directly toward the first hole 13. In other words, the flow direction of the gas changes little when it flows inside the dust cover 1, which can reduce the possibility of turbulence forming in the internal space of the dust cover 1, thereby reducing the possibility of turbulence causing vibration to the visual recognition device 2, and reducing the possibility of turbulence bringing dust and other impurities near the first hole 13 into the dust cover 1.

[0040] Please combine Figure 3As shown, optionally, the second hole 16 is located above the mirror 3 along the direction of gravity G. The second hole 16 is inclined, and the end of the second hole 16 that connects to the second receiving cavity 12 is inclined downward along the direction of gravity G. Thus, the gas blown out from the second hole 16 can flow downward along the direction of gravity G to blow away the reflective surface of the mirror 3. Therefore, when there are dust or other impurities attached to the surface of the mirror 3, the dust or other impurities are more easily blown away from the surface of the mirror 3 by the airflow blown out from the second hole 16.

[0041] Optionally, the central axis of the second hole 16 is tilted at an angle of θ1 relative to the direction of gravity G, and the surface of the mirror 3 is tilted at an angle of θ2 relative to the direction of gravity G, where θ1≤θ2. This makes it easier for the gas blown out from the second hole 16 to blow along the surface of the mirror 3, so as to more easily blow away dust and other impurities attached to the surface of the mirror 3.

[0042] This utility model also provides an Internet of Things (IoT) system, which includes at least one IoT-based dustproof visual recognition device 100 as described in the foregoing technical solution (see also...). Figure 1 By using the aforementioned dustproof visual recognition device 100, the Internet of Things (IoT) system can easily maintain relatively stable and normal operation over a long period of time. When the IoT system includes multiple dustproof visual recognition devices 100 as described in the aforementioned technical solutions, the multiple dustproof visual recognition devices 100 can communicate and connect with each other via wired or wireless means. When the IoT system includes only one dustproof visual recognition device 100 as described in the aforementioned technical solutions, the IoT system may also include other terminals, such as, but not limited to, sensors, controllers, and devices capable of physical actions (e.g., robotic arms, machine tools, assembly lines, etc.), and the dustproof visual recognition device 100 included in the IoT system communicates and connects with all other terminals indirectly or directly via wired or wireless means.

They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are merely used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0044] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "example," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0046] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
