[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Examples, such as Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a monitoring tag for an apron tower, including: a tag plate 1, with a display screen 103 fixedly connected to one side of the tag plate 1, and also including: multiple fixing blocks 2, which are symmetrically fixedly connected in pairs to one side of the tag plate 1. Two fixing blocks 2 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of each other with lead screws 201, and the other two fixing blocks 2 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of each other with guide rods 202. A motor 203 is fixedly connected to the top of one of the fixing blocks 2, and the output end of the motor 203 is fixedly connected to the lead screw. At one end of 201, a threaded bar 204 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 201. The threaded bar 204 is slidably connected to the guide rod 202. Two fixing blocks 206 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded bar 204. A guide tube 207 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two fixing blocks 206. Multiple diverter tubes 208 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer surface of the guide tube 207. A hollow plate 209 is fixedly connected to one end of the multiple diverter tubes 208. A wiping cloth 210 is fixedly connected to one side of the hollow plate 209.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a water tank 213 is fixedly connected to the other side of the signboard 1. A water pump 212 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 213. The water pump 212's pumping end extends into the water tank 213. A telescopic hose 211 is fixedly connected to the water pump 212's draining end. The telescopic hose 211 is fixedly connected to the guide pipe 207. The water pump 212 is started by the controller, so that it draws water out of the water tank 213 and delivers it to the telescopic hose 211.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the telescopic hose 211, the guide pipe 207, and multiple diversion pipes 208 are connected. One end of each of the multiple diversion pipes 208 is connected to the interior of the hollow plate 209. Multiple round holes 214 are provided on one side of the hollow plate 209. With the above arrangement, water can pass through the telescopic hose 211, the guide pipe 207, and the diversion pipes 208 in sequence, enter the interior of the hollow plate 209, and seep out through the round holes 214, thus soaking the wiping cloth 210.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the threaded bar 204 has a slot 205 at the top near the guide rod 202. The outer surface of the telescopic hose 211 is slidably connected to the inside of the slot 205. The slot 205 facilitates the limiting of the telescopic hose 211 to a certain extent.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5As shown, two brackets 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the threaded bar 204. A heating cover 301 is fixedly connected to one side of the two brackets 3. Multiple heating wires 302 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the inner wall of the heating cover 301. A second wiping cloth 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the heating cover 301. The heating wires 302 are heated by the controller, so that the temperature inside the heating cover 301 rises and the second wiping cloth 303 is heated. When the threaded bar 204 moves downward, it can simultaneously drive the brackets 3, the heating cover 301 and the second wiping cloth 303 to move downward, so that the second wiping cloth 303 can wipe away the water stains remaining on the surface of the display screen 103 and keep the display screen 103 dry.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, two support rods 101 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the hanging plate 1. One end of the support rod 101 is fixedly connected to a shield 102. The shield 102 can play a certain role in preventing rain and dust.

[0030] Working principle: When it is necessary to wipe and clean the dust on the display screen 103, the controller controls the water pump 212 to start, which draws water from the water tank 213. The water then passes through the telescopic hose 211, the guide pipe 207, and the diverter pipe 208, and enters the hollow plate 209. It seeps out through the round hole 214, soaking the wiping cloth 210. The controller then controls the motor 203 to start, which drives the lead screw 201 to rotate. With the threaded connection between the lead screw 201 and the threaded strip 204, and with the guide rod 202 limiting and guiding the threaded strip 204, the threaded strip 204 moves downward along the outer surface of the lead screw 201. Simultaneously, it moves the hollow plate 209 and the wiping cloth 210 downward, thus cleaning the screen. Cloth 210 wipes away the dust on the surface of the display screen 103, eliminating the need for staff to manually clean the surface and reducing their workload. Simultaneously, the controller controls the heating wire 302 to heat the heating cover 301, which in turn heats the wiping cloth 303. When the threaded strip 204 moves downward, it simultaneously moves the bracket 3, the heating cover 301, and the wiping cloth 303 downward, allowing the wiping cloth 303 to wipe away any remaining water stains on the surface of the display screen 103, keeping the display screen 103 dry. This further improves the cleaning effect of the display screen 103 and prevents water stains from affecting the viewing experience. The baffle 102 provides some protection against rain and dust.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
