Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning structure, specifically a cleaning structure for the camera end of a visual robot camera, belonging to the field of camera cleaning technology. Background Technology

[0002] Visual robots are robotic systems that integrate advanced vision technologies. They can not only capture and process visual information but also perform complex tasks based on this information. These robots utilize machine vision technologies, such as image recognition, target tracking, and 3D modeling, to achieve precise perception and understanding of their environment. In the industrial sector, visual robots are widely used in automated production lines, enabling efficient identification, positioning, and assembly of parts, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] After prolonged use, dust accumulates on the camera lens of a visual robot. Excessive dust accumulation can affect the normal operation of the camera, necessitating cleaning of the camera lens. However, since the camera lens is installed inside the robot body, cleaning requires disassembling the robot body, which is inconvenient. Therefore, a cleaning structure for the camera end of a visual robot camera is proposed. Utility Model Content

[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] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cleaning structure for a visual robot camera end includes a device base 1, a conveyor belt 2 on the device base 1, a device housing 4 fixedly mounted on the device base 1, a partition 3 inside the device housing 4, a camera module 5 fixedly mounted on the partition 3, and a drive assembly 6 inside the device housing 4. The drive assembly 6 includes a positioning guide rod 603 fixedly mounted inside the device housing 4, a lead screw slider 602 movably mounted on the positioning guide rod 603, a trapezoidal lead screw 604 connected to the lead screw slider 602, a positioning seat 605 fixedly mounted on the lead screw slider 602, and a cleaning mechanism 7 mounted on the positioning seat 605. The drive assembly 6 can move the cleaning mechanism 7 below the camera module 5, and after the cleaning mechanism 7 is moved below the camera module 5, it can automatically clean the lens.

[0022] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 6 includes a positioning guide rod 603 fixedly installed inside the equipment housing 4, a lead screw slider 602 movably mounted on the positioning guide rod 603, a trapezoidal lead screw 604 connected to the lead screw slider 602, a positioning seat 605 fixedly mounted on the lead screw slider 602, the drive assembly 6 also includes a drive motor 601 fixedly mounted on the equipment housing 4, a steering rack 607 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the partition 3, and a steering gear 606 mounted above the rotating sleeve 707.

[0023] Specifically, the drive motor 601 can drive the trapezoidal lead screw 604 to rotate. After the trapezoidal lead screw 604 rotates, it will drive the lead screw slider 602 to move back and forth. When the lead screw slider 602 moves back and forth, it will drive the rotating sleeve 707 to move back and forth, moving the cleaning mechanism 7 to below the camera module 5. The length of the steering rack 607 is one-eighth of the outer circumference of the steering gear 606. When the steering gear 606 passes the steering rack 607, it will rotate 45° so that the flushing nozzle 702 and the fan 705 can move to below the camera module 5 in sequence.

[0024] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The cleaning mechanism 7 includes a rotating sleeve 707 movably mounted on a positioning seat 605. A first arm 701 and a second arm 706 are fixedly mounted on the rotating sleeve 707, and the first arm 701 and the second arm 706 are perpendicular to each other. A water receiving tray 703 is fixedly mounted at the end of the first arm 701, and a flushing nozzle 702 is fixedly mounted inside the water receiving tray 703. A volute 704 is fixedly mounted at the end of the second arm 706, and a fan 705 is fixedly mounted inside the volute 704. A docking shaft 708 is fixedly mounted at the upper end of the rotating sleeve 707, and a steering gear 606 is movably mounted above the rotating sleeve 707 via the docking shaft 708.

[0025] Specifically, the rinsing nozzle 702 can be moved below the camera module 5 to clean the lens of the camera module 5. The wastewater generated during cleaning will be collected by the water receiving tray 703. After cleaning is completed, the rotating sleeve 707 can be controlled to move backward. After the rotating sleeve 707 moves backward, the fan 705 can move below the camera module 5 to blow air quickly through the lens of the camera module 5, quickly drying the lens of the camera module 5 and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0026] Working principle: First, start the drive motor 601. Starting the drive motor 601 will drive the trapezoidal lead screw 604 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 604 will then drive the lead screw slider 602 to move back and forth. When the lead screw slider 602 moves back and forth, it will drive the rotating sleeve 707 to move back and forth, thus moving the cleaning mechanism 7 below the camera module 5. When the rotating sleeve 707 is flush with the steering rack 607, the steering gear 606 will mesh with the steering rack 607. The length of the steering rack 607 is one-eighth of the outer circumference of the steering gear 606. Therefore, the steering gear 606 will rotate 45° when passing the steering rack 607, allowing the flushing nozzle 702 and the blower 705 to move sequentially below the camera module 5. When the rotating sleeve 707 moves forward, it will first drive the flushing nozzle 702 to move to the camera module 5. Below, the rinsing nozzle 702 can be moved below the camera module 5 to control the rinsing nozzle 702 to spray water, thereby cleaning the lens of the camera module 5. The wastewater generated during cleaning will be collected by the water receiving tray 703. After cleaning is completed, the rotating sleeve 707 can be controlled to move backward. When the rotating sleeve 707 moves backward, the steering gear 606 will pass through the steering rack 607, thereby causing the rotating sleeve 707 to rotate 45°. After the rotating sleeve 707 rotates 45°, the second arm 706 will also rotate 45°. The second arm 706 is longer than the first arm 701. After the second arm 706 rotates 45°, the fan 705 can be moved below the camera module 5. When the fan 705 moves below the camera module 5, it can blow air to flow quickly over the lens of the camera module 5, thereby quickly drying the lens of the camera module 5 and improving cleaning efficiency.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
