Detailed Implementation
[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a highway network operation monitoring auxiliary device includes: a monitoring camera 3; an adjusting bracket 4 installed at the bottom of the monitoring camera 3 for adjusting the angle of the monitoring camera 3; a mounting cover 5 fixed to the outside of the monitoring camera 3; a protective box 6 fixed to the front end of the mounting cover 5 and fitted onto the front end of the monitoring camera 3; a cover plate 7 fixed to the top of the protective box 6 by bolts; a camera slot 8 opened on the protective box 6 and corresponding to the lens of the monitoring camera 3; two glass baffles 9 disposed inside the protective box 6; a translation component 10 installed on the protective box 6; a cleaning component 11 disposed inside the protective box 6; and guide members 12 disposed on the cover plate 7, the translation component 10, and the two glass baffles 9.
[0033] The translation component 10 is adapted to control the movement of the two glass baffles 9 within the protective box 6, so as to control the two glass baffles 9 to alternately block the camera slot 8;
[0034] The cleaning component 11 is adapted to clean the two glass baffles 9 as they move;
[0035] The guide member 12 is adapted to improve the stability of the two glass baffles 9 during movement. When the monitoring camera 3 is monitoring, dust flying in the air will be blocked by the glass baffle 9 located at the camera slot 8, preventing dust from contaminating the lens of the monitoring camera 3. After a period of use, when the glass baffle 9 accumulates some dust, the translation component 10 can move the contaminated glass baffle 9 to a position isolated from the outside in the protective box 6, and control the other glass baffle 9 to move to the camera slot 8 to simultaneously protect the lens of the monitoring camera 3. The two glass baffles 9 are in close contact, thus ensuring that there is no protective gap for the monitoring camera 3, guaranteeing the protection effect of the monitoring camera 3, and preventing dust from contaminating the monitoring camera 3 when replacing the glass baffle 9; and when the two glass baffles 9 are moved and intersected When providing protection, the guide component 12 can effectively improve the stability and smoothness of the two glass baffles 9 during movement, preventing positional displacement of the two glass baffles 9 during movement and affecting the normal operation of the translation component 10. At the same time, during the movement of the two glass baffles 9, the cleaning component 11 can clean the dust adhering to one of the glass baffles 9, ensuring that the two glass baffles 9 remain clean when protecting the monitoring camera 3, thus ensuring the shooting quality of the monitoring camera 3. Furthermore, since the cleaning component 11 is stationary relative to the monitoring camera 3, it will not obstruct the shooting of the monitoring camera 3 when cleaning dust, further ensuring the quality of the recorded images of the monitoring camera 3 and facilitating the real-time monitoring of the highway network by the monitoring camera 3.
[0036] Optionally, the cleaning component 11 includes slots symmetrically opened in the protective box 6, two blocks 14 movably installed in the two slots 13, two scrapers 15 fixed to the two blocks 14, two cleaning brushes 16 fixed on the two scrapers 15 and abutting against one of the glass baffles 9, and an air jet 17 disposed at the bottom of the protective box 6.
[0037] Both of the aforementioned locking blocks 14 are made of rubber, and each of the two locking blocks 14 is interference-fitted with the two locking slots 13. In use, as the translation component 10 controls the movement of the two glass baffles 9 within the protective box 6, one of the cleaning brushes 16 will scrape and clean the glass baffle 9 that has been moved out of the camera slot 8. During the scraping and cleaning, the air jet 17 can blow the dust scraped off the glass baffle 9 away from the protective box 6, preventing dust from adhering to the cleaning brush 16 or the glass baffle 9 due to static electricity or other reasons, thus affecting its use. The cleaned glass baffle 9 will be shielded by the protective box and will not be contaminated by the external environment. The rubber locking blocks 14, which are interference-fitted in the locking slots 13, can provide thrust to the scraper 15, so that the cleaning brush 16 can make close contact with the glass baffle 9, thereby ensuring the cleaning quality of the glass baffle 9.
[0038] Optionally, the translation component 10 includes a translation frame 18 disposed inside the protective box 6, a control rack 19 fixedly installed at the bottom of the translation frame 18, a control motor 20 installed on the protective box 6 and placed below the monitoring camera 3, a control gear 21 fixed at the output end of the control motor 20 and meshing with the control rack 19, and a protective cover 22 fixed at the bottom of the protective box 6 and covering the control gear 21.
[0039] The two glass plates are slidably inserted into the translation frame 18. After one of the glass plates 9 has been used for a period of time and is covered with dust, the control motor 20 is activated, driving the control gear 21 to rotate. This, in turn, engages the transmission control rack 19, causing the translation frame 18 to move within the protective box 6. This moves the glass plate 9, which is located at the camera slot 8 and is covered with dust, to a position within the protective box 6 where it is not in contact with the outside. Meanwhile, the other glass plate 9 moves to the camera slot 8 to shield and protect the lens of the surveillance camera 3. When the glass cover 7, which is covered with dust, moves in the camera slot 8, the cleaning component 11 can effectively clean the glass cover 7 without obstructing the shooting of the surveillance camera 3, thus ensuring the recording effect of the surveillance camera 3. At the same time, when one glass plate 9 removes its shielding of the surveillance camera 3, the other glass plate 9 will simultaneously complete its shielding and protection of the surveillance camera 3 without any protective gaps, ensuring the protection of the lens of the surveillance camera 3.
[0040] Optionally, the guide member 12 includes a stop block 23 fixed to the lower surface of the cover plate 7 and adapted to the inner wall of the protective box 6, a plurality of guide balls 24 movably installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the stop block 23, a guide groove 25 opened on the top of the translation frame 18 and the two glass baffles 9 and corresponding to the plurality of guide balls 24, and two guide wheels 26 symmetrically rotatably connected to the bottom of the translation frame 18.
[0041] Both guide wheels 26 abut against the inner bottom of the protective box 6. When the translation frame 18 is driven to move, the two guide wheels 26 roll at the inner bottom of the protective box 6. At the same time, a number of guide balls 24 roll in the guide grooves 25 on the top of the two glass baffles 9, thereby guiding and limiting the movement of the translation frame 18 and the two glass baffles 9, so as to ensure the stability and smoothness of the translation frame 18 and the two glass baffles 9 during movement, and effectively improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 11 on the two glass baffles 9.
[0042] Optionally, the jet component 17 includes a miniature air pump 27 fixed to the bottom of the protective box 6 and placed below the monitoring camera 3, two jet slots 28 symmetrically opened at the bottom of the protective box 6 and corresponding to the two cleaning brushes 16, and an air supply pipe 29 connected to the air outlet of the miniature air pump 27 at one end and connected to the lower end of the two jet slots 28 at the other end.
[0043] Both jet channels 28 are inclined relative to the protective box 6. When the two glass baffles 9 move and one of the cleaning brushes 16 scrapes and cleans one of the glass baffles 9, the micro air pump 27 works synchronously to deliver airflow into the air supply pipe 29. The airflow is delivered to the two jet channels 28 and then sprayed upward. Since the two jet channels 28 are inclined, the airflow sprayed out through the jet channels 28 can directly blow and clean the two cleaning brushes 16, blowing away the dust that has been removed from the glass baffles 9 by the cleaning brushes 16. This prevents dust from adhering to the glass baffles 9 or the cleaning brushes 16 due to static electricity, which would affect subsequent use and ensure the cleaning quality of the glass baffles 9.
[0044] Optionally, a sealing ring 30 is movably fitted on the outside of the abutment block 23. The upper and lower sides of the sealing ring 30 abut against the cover plate 7 and the protective box 6, respectively. The sealing ring 30 can seal the connection between the cover plate 7 and the protective box 6, effectively preventing rainwater from seeping into the protective box 6 through the cover and contaminating the two glass baffles 9, thereby ensuring the shooting quality of the monitoring camera 3.
[0045] Optionally, a rain shield 31 is fixedly connected to the front end of the cover plate 7, and side baffles 32 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rain shield 31. The two side baffles 32 are arranged on both sides of the camera slot 8. In the event of rain or snow, the rain shield 31 and the two side baffles 32 can effectively shield the area around the camera slot 8, thereby effectively preventing rainwater from washing into the camera slot 8 and preventing rainwater from contaminating the protective box 6 and affecting the cleaning of the two glass baffles 9.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
