An angle adjustment mechanism is fitted inside the U-shaped mounting frame 3.

[0037] The cleaning mechanism includes a first motor 4, a driving bevel gear 5, a driven bevel gear 6, a support platform 7, a rotating shaft 8, and a cleaning scraper 9. The first motor 4 is fixed inside the mounting plate 1. The driving bevel gear 5 is fixed to the power output end of the first motor 4, and the driven bevel gear 6 is externally meshed with the driving bevel gear 5. Support platforms 7 are fixed to both ends of the bottom of the mounting plate 1. A rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected inside the support platform 7. One end of one rotating shaft 8 is fixed to the driven bevel gear 6. A cleaning scraper 9 is fixed between the two rotating shafts 8. The cleaning scraper 9 and a transparent waterproof cover are also included. 2. Sliding connection; When it is necessary to clean the surface of the transparent waterproof cover 2 to ensure the image quality, the first motor 4 is started. The power output end of the first motor 4 drives the active bevel gear 5 to rotate. The active bevel gear 5 drives the driven bevel gear 6 to rotate. The driven bevel gear 6 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate inside the support platform 7. The rotating shaft 8 drives the cleaning scraper 9 to rotate. The cleaning scraper 9 slides on the surface of the transparent waterproof cover 2. In this way, by starting the first motor 4 to rotate, the cleaning scraper 9 can slide on the outer surface of the transparent waterproof cover 2 to achieve cleaning and ensure the image quality of the camera 20.

[0038] The angle adjustment mechanism includes a third motor 16, a drive gear 17, a driven gear 18, a rotating rod 19, and a camera 20. The third motor 16 is fixed to one end of the U-shaped mounting bracket 3. The drive gear 17 is fixed to the power output end of the third motor 16. The driven gear 18 is externally meshed with the drive gear 17. Rotating rods 19 are rotatably connected to both ends of the U-shaped mounting bracket 3. One of the rotating rods 19 is fixed to the driven gear 18, and a camera 20 is fixed inside both rotating rods 19. When the shooting angle of the camera 20 needs to be adjusted to achieve clear shooting, the third motor 16 is activated. The power output end of the third motor 16 drives the drive gear 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 18 to rotate. The driven gear 18 then drives the rotating rod 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the camera 20 to rotate. Thus, by activating the third motor 16, the shooting angle of the camera 20 inside the U-shaped mounting bracket 3 can be adjusted, achieving clear shooting.

The bottom of the suspension column 14 is fixed to the U-shaped mounting bracket 3. A limit bracket 15 is fixed to the top of the suspension column 14. Both the suspension column 14 and the limit bracket 15 are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 1. Then, the second motor 11 is started. The power output end of the second motor 11 drives the worm gear 12 to rotate. The worm gear 12 drives the worm wheel 13 to rotate. The worm wheel 13 drives the suspension column 14 to rotate. The limit bracket 15 limits the suspension column 14 inside the mounting plate 1. In this way, the camera 20 can be rotated by starting the second motor 11, making it convenient for the camera 20 to shoot in various directions.
