[0002] In existing technologies, images of industrial products are acquired using image acquisition devices such as smart cameras, and the acquired images are then used for inspection.
[0003] However, during long-term operation in industrial workshops, dust inevitably accumulates on the lenses of smart cameras. This dust can obstruct the lens and affect the clarity of images of industrial products. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the lenses of smart cameras regularly. However, cleaning the lenses of industrial smart cameras usually requires manual operation. Workers use air nozzles or dust-removing compressed air canisters to blow large dust particles away from the lens, and then use a brush to gently brush away the dust from top to bottom. If stubborn stains are encountered, microfiber lens paper or ultrafine lens cloth can be used to wipe from the center outward in a spiral pattern. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increases the labor intensity of workers, and has poor practicality. Utility Model Content

[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent camera for industrial inspection, including a mounting plate 1 and an automatic cleaning component. The automatic cleaning component is set on the mounting plate 1 and includes a mounting box 19, which is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 1.

[0032] The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod slides through the front surface of the mounting box 19. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to an L-shaped connecting plate 27. The front surface of the L-shaped connecting plate 27 is fixedly connected to a protective box 6. The lower surface of the protective box 6 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped mounting plate 11.
[0033] Among them, multiple electric telescopic rods 10 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped mounting plate 11, and the telescopic ends of the multiple electric telescopic rods 10 slide through the interior of the protective box 6.
[0034] Furthermore, the telescopic end of the multi-segment electric telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 22, the front surface of the connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped fixing plate 25, and the upper surface of the L-shaped fixing plate 25 is fixedly installed with a second servo motor 26.
[0035] The output end of the second servo motor 26 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 23. The rear end of the drive shaft 23 rotates through the rear surface of the connecting rod 22, and a cleaning sponge 24 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the drive shaft 23.
[0036] Furthermore, a connecting pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting rod 22, an air outlet 21 communicating with it is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the connecting pipe 20, a rectangular plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting pipe 20, and a connecting block 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the protective box 6.
[0037] Among them, an air pump 9 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting block 8, and an air supply hose 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump 9. The end of the air supply hose 7 away from the air pump 9 slides through into the interior of the protective box 6 and is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 20. The air supply hose 7 communicates with the connecting pipe 20.
[0038] Furthermore, fixing plates 12 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the protective box 6, and guide rods 13 are fixedly connected to the rear surfaces of both fixing plates 12.
[0039] Among them, two guide plates 18 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 1, and the rear ends of the two guide rods 13 slide through the rear surface of the corresponding guide plates 18.
[0040] Furthermore, a concave plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 1, and a connecting shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the left and right inner walls of the concave plate 3. A smart camera 4 is fixedly connected to the opposite face of the two connecting shafts 15.

The connecting shaft 15 drives the smart camera 4 to reset (e.g., Figure 1 (as shown)
[0044] Then, the electric telescopic rod inside the installation box 19 is activated, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod drives the protective box 6 to move forward as a whole through the L-shaped connecting plate 27;
[0045] When the protective box 6 moves forward as a whole, the protective box 6 drives the two guide rods 13 to move forward through the inner walls of the two guide plates 18 via the two fixed plates 12. The two guide rods 13 and the two guide plates 18 play an auxiliary role in the movement of the protective box 6 as a whole, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the protective box 6 as a whole.
[0046] Furthermore, after the protective box 6 is moved to the designated position, the multi-section electric telescopic rod 10 is activated first. The telescopic end of the multi-section electric telescopic rod 10 pushes the connecting rod 22 to move as a whole.

The second servo motor 26 rotates the cleaning sponge 24 via the transmission shaft 23 to perform a final wipe on the lens of the smart camera 4. By setting up an automatic cleaning component, the lens of the smart camera 4 can be automatically cleaned, eliminating the need for staff to manually clean the lens of the smart camera 4 with cleaning tools, reducing the labor pressure of staff, and improving the practicality of the smart camera used for industrial inspection.
[0048] Working principle: When the lens of the smart camera 4 needs to be cleaned, the first servo motor 17 is started first. The first servo motor 17 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate. The worm gear 14 drives the connecting shaft 15 connected to it to rotate through the worm wheel 16. The connecting shaft 15 drives the smart camera 4 to reset (e.g., Figure 1 (as shown)
[0049] Then, the electric telescopic rod inside the installation box 19 is activated, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod drives the protective box 6 to move forward as a whole through the L-shaped connecting plate 27;
[0050] When the protective box 6 moves forward as a whole, the protective box 6 drives the two guide rods 13 to move forward through the inner walls of the two guide plates 18 via the two fixed plates 12. The two guide rods 13 and the two guide plates 18 play an auxiliary role in the movement of the protective box 6 as a whole.
[0051] Furthermore, after the protective box 6 is moved to the designated position, the multi-section electric telescopic rod 10 is activated first. The telescopic end of the multi-section electric telescopic rod 10 pushes the connecting rod 22 to move as a whole. When the air outlet 21 moves to correspond with the lens of the smart camera 4, the air pump 9 is activated. The air pump 9 inputs the generated gas into the interior of the connecting pipe 20 through the air supply hose 7, and finally discharges it through the air outlet 21 to blow away the dust on the lens of the smart camera 4.
[0052] After blowing for approximately 10-15 seconds, the multi-segment electric telescopic rod 10 is activated again. The telescopic end of the multi-segment electric telescopic rod 10 pushes the connecting rod 22 upward. When the cleaning sponge 24 comes into contact with the lens of the smart camera 4, the second servo motor 26 is activated. The second servo motor 26 rotates the cleaning sponge 24 via the transmission shaft 23 to perform a final wipe on the lens of the smart camera 4. By setting up an automatic cleaning component, the lens of the smart camera 4 can be automatically cleaned, eliminating the need for staff to manually clean the lens of the smart camera 4 with cleaning tools, thus reducing the labor pressure on staff.
