A connecting block is fixedly connected to the side of each rotating block, and a fixing hole is passed through the side of each rotating block. Several springs are fixedly connected to the left side surface of the mounting sleeve. The number of springs is the same as the number of slots. The springs are arranged in a circular array along the axis of the lens. Each spring has a fixing rod inside it. The right end of each fixing rod passes through the mounting sleeve and extends into the interior of the rotary groove. The cross-sectional area of the fixing rod is the same as that of the fixing hole. The sides of each fixing rod are beveled. A connecting ring is fixedly connected to the left end of each spring. The right side of each connecting ring is fixedly connected to the fixing rod. A dust cover is fixedly connected to the right end of the connecting block. A dust cap is fixedly connected inside the dust cover.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a small air pump is provided at the bottom of the mounting sleeve, and the output end of the small air pump is connected to an air blowing pipe. An air blowing hole is opened at the bottom of the curved surface of the dust cover, and the air blowing pipe is connected to the air blowing hole.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an infrared optical lens dustproof structure includes a lens 1, with a lens 2 disposed inside the lens 1. A mounting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the right end of the surface of the lens 1. Several slots 4 are formed on the right side surface of the mounting sleeve 3, arranged in a circular array along the axis of the lens 1. Each slot 4 has a swivel groove 5 on its side wall. A swivel block 6 is slidably connected inside each slot 4, and the cross-sectional area of each swivel block 6 is the same as that of the swivel groove 5. A connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to the side of each swivel block 6, and a fixing hole 8 is passed through the side of each swivel block 6. Several... There are 9 springs, the same number as slots 4. The springs 9 are arranged in a ring array along the axis of lens 1. Each spring 9 has a fixing rod 10 inside. The right end of each fixing rod 10 passes through the mounting sleeve 3 and extends into the interior of the rotary groove 5. The cross-sectional area of the fixing rod 10 is the same as that of the fixing hole 8. The sides of each fixing rod 10 are set as bevels. The left end of each spring 9 is fixedly connected to a connecting ring 11. The right side of each connecting ring 11 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 10. The right end of the connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to a dust cover 12. The inside of the dust cover 12 is fixedly connected to a dust cap 13.
[0022] refer to Figure 2 The bottom of the mounting sleeve 3 is equipped with a small air pump 15, the output end of the small air pump 15 is connected to an air blowing pipe 16, and the bottom of the curved surface of the dust cover 12 is provided with an air blowing hole 17, and the air blowing pipe 16 is connected to the air blowing hole 17.
[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a small air pump 15, the small air pump 15 is started to fill the inside of the dust cover 12 with air through the air pipe 16 and the air hole 17. At this time, the air pressure inside the dust cover 12 will be greater than that outside, thereby preventing external dust from entering the inside of the dust cover 12 through air circulation and causing contamination to the lens 2, thereby further improving the dustproof effect of the structure.
[0024] refer to Figure 5 The top end of the air blowing pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the air pipe connector 18. The bottom of the curved surface of the dust cover 12 is provided with an internal thread groove 19. The internal thread groove 19 is connected to the air blowing hole 17 and is located on the same center line. The air pipe connector 18 is located inside the internal thread groove 19 and is threadedly connected to it.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the air pipe connector 18, when the dust cover 12 is loaded and unloaded, the air pipe connector 18 can be rotated to make it screw out and screw into the internal thread groove 19, thereby separating and connecting the air blowing pipe 16 with the air blowing hole 17, thus avoiding the situation where the air blowing pipe 16 obstructs the loading and unloading of the dust cover 12.
[0026] refer to Figure 5 The right side of the mounting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected with a first annular sealing ring 20 and a second annular sealing ring 21. The first annular sealing ring 20 is located on the outside of the slot 4, and the second annular sealing ring 21 is located on the inside of the slot 4. The first annular sealing ring 20 and the second annular sealing ring 21 are concentrically arranged.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the sealing effect between the mounting sleeve 3 and the dust cover 12 is improved by setting the second annular sealing ring 21, thereby avoiding the rapid loss of airflow output from the air blowing pipe 16 and reducing the loss of airflow at the output end.
[0028] refer to Figure 3 The left end of the mounting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to several sliding pillars 22. The sliding pillars 22 are arranged in a ring array along the axis of the lens 1. The left end of each sliding pillar 22 passes through to the left side of the connecting ring 11 and is slidably connected thereto. The left end of each sliding pillar 22 is fixedly connected to a circular plate. The top of the connecting ring 11 is fixedly connected to a pull plate 23.
[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up the sliding column 22 and the pull plate 23, when the connecting ring 11 is pulled, it will not be difficult for some fixing rods 10 to completely detach from the fixing hole 8 due to uneven force and skewness. This makes it more stable when the connecting ring 11 is pulled for disassembly and will not have the problem of skewness.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 Mounting plates 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the curved surface of mounting sleeve 3. The sides of mounting plates 14 are provided with round holes. Mounting plates 14 are fitted onto the surface of small air pump 15 through the round holes and are fixedly connected to it.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the mounting plate 14 provides a limiting and fixing for the small air pump 15, making it more stable during operation, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the structure.
[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the user first aligns the rotating block 6 and connecting block 7 on the left end of the dust cover 12 with the slot 4 and inserts them inside. Then, the dust cover 12 is rotated backward as a whole. The dust cover 12 will then drive the rotating block 6 and connecting block 7 to rotate backward, causing the rotating block 6 to rotate into the rotating groove 5. When the rotating block 6 contacts the inclined surface of the fixing rod 10, it will press the fixing rod 10 to the left, compressing the spring 9. When the fixing hole 8 on the side of the rotating block 6 aligns with the fixing rod 10, the fixing rod 10 will be inserted into the fixing hole 8 completely. After securing the dust cover 12 to a fixed position, screw the air pipe connector 18 into the internal threaded groove 19 and start the small air pump 15. Pump airflow into the small air pump 15 through the air pipe 16 and air hole 17 to make the air pressure inside the dust cover 12 greater than the outside for dust protection. When disassembly is required, first screw the air pipe connector 18 out of the internal threaded groove 19 and pull the pull plate 23 to move the connecting ring 11 to the left, so that it drives the fixing rod 10 to disengage from the fixing hole 8. Then, rotate the dust cover 12 forward and pull the rotating block 6 out of the slot 4 to complete the disassembly.
