DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] In specific implementation: as Figures 1-5 The camera that can be automatically cleaned includes: camera body 1, the surface of camera body 1 is provided with mounting bracket 2.

[0026] Camera body 1 is mainly composed of outer shell 11, camera 12 arranged in outer shell 11 and flushing part 13 and cleaning part 14 arranged in the inside of outer shell 11 and located on the surface of camera 12.

[0027] As Figure 2 And Figure 5 Flushing part 13 includes water delivery pipe 1301 arranged in the inside of outer shell 11, water delivery pipe 1301 is double-pipe, and the two water outlet ends of water delivery pipe 1301 are both communicated with arc-shaped spray head 1302, and the two arc-shaped spray heads 1302 are in contact with camera 12; the two arc-shaped spray heads 1302 are oppositely arranged, and the side of arc-shaped spray head 1302 close to camera 12 is connected with camera 12 in a sticking mode; the opposite side of the two arc-shaped spray heads 1302 is water outlet part, wherein the water outlet part is arranged in an arc shape.

[0028] When the surface of camera 12 is attached with dust, first, the liquid supply pump supplies the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid storage device to water delivery pipe 1301, and when the cleaning liquid reaches the position of arc-shaped spray head 1302, the cleaning liquid can be uniformly sprayed to the surface of camera 12 from the arc-shaped water outlet part of arc-shaped spray head 1302 by pressure.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the cleaning piece 14 includes an electric push rod 1401 fixedly connected to the rear side of the camera 12, and a push plate fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the rear side of the electric push rod 1401. The top and bottom of the rear surface of the push plate are fixedly connected with flexible rods 1402, and the front ends of the two flexible rods 1402 are provided with opening and closing plates 1404, which are in contact with the front surface of the camera 12. The surface of the flexible rod 1402 is sleeved with a guide shell 1403, which is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the outer shell 11. The guide shell 1403 is rigidly arranged and is of a curved type. A positioning hoop 1405 is arranged between the opening and closing plate 1404 and the end of the flexible rod 1402, which is made of stainless steel and wrapped in the flexible opening and closing plate 1404. The surface of the opening and closing plate 1404 is provided with a pressing pad 1406, which is arranged in a rectangular shape and the curved surface of the pressing pad 1406 is matched with the opening and closing plate 1404. The side of the electric push rod 1401 close to the camera 12 is provided with a stable ring, and the side of the stable ring close to the camera 12 is fixedly connected with the camera 12.

[0030] First, the electric push rod 1401 is opened, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 1401 pushes the two flexible rods 1402 through the push plate. Then, the flexible rod 1402 pushes the opening and closing plate 1404 along the guide direction of the guide shell 1403. At this time, the two opening and closing plates 1404 will approach each other, forming the action of human blinking, which can cooperate with the cleaning liquid to wipe the surface of the camera 12, achieving the effect of self-cleaning.

[0031] It should be noted that: when recording the surrounding environment and situation in daily use, open the two opening and closing plates 1404, and the camera end of the camera 12 is exposed and used for shooting. When not in use, only need to control the electric push rod 1401 to close the two opening and closing plates 1404, that is, to imitate the state of closing the eyes when the human body rests, so as to close the camera 12 and protect the camera 12. It can prevent dust from adhering to the surface of the camera 12.

[0032] The material of the opening and closing plate 1404 is silica gel, which has certain expansibility and elasticity, so that it can be attached to the front surface of the camera 12, so as to cooperate with the cleaning liquid to wipe and clean the surface of the camera 12.

[0033] The flexible rod 1402 is made of plastic, the cross section shape of the flexible rod 1402 is flat oval, the effect that plastic has elasticity and does not lose strength can effectively resist the opening and closing plate 1404, and the running smoothness of the opening and closing plate 1404 is improved;

[0034] When the camera body 1 is used for a long time outside, dust will inevitably adhere to the surface of the camera 12, at this time, the external cleaning liquid supply device will supply cleaning liquid into the water supply pipe 1301, and the cleaning liquid will be uniformly sprayed to the surface of the camera 12 through the arc-shaped nozzle 1302 by pressure, at this time, the electric push rod 1401 is opened, the extension end of the electric push rod 1401 pushes the two flexible rods 1402 outwards through the push plate, then the flexible rod 1402 pushes the opening and closing plate 1404 along the guide direction of the guide shell 1403, at this time, the two opening and closing plates 1404 are close to each other, forming the action of human blinking, that is, the surface of the camera 12 can be wiped by cooperating with the cleaning liquid, achieving the effect of self-cleaning.

[0035] In addition, it should be understood that, although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, the description manner of the specification is only for the sake of clarity, the skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be combined appropriately to form other embodiments that can be understood by the skilled in the art.
