Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power transmission line monitoring technology, specifically to an image and video monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] Transmission line inspections mainly rely on periodic patrols by operation and maintenance personnel. Although this can identify potential equipment hazards, due to its inherent limitations, it lacks the ability to detect special environments and climates. During the patrol cycle gaps, it cannot keep track of changes in external forces along the line corridor in a timely manner, making it highly susceptible to line accidents occurring before the next patrol due to a lack of monitoring.
[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN211791819U) discloses a high-voltage transmission line safety monitoring device, including a connecting block and a cleaning device. This utility model uses a cleaning device installed above the camera, and an anti-fog box to protect the camera. To clean the left side of the anti-fog box, the user runs the motor, causing the drive wheel and driven wheel to drive each other, which in turn causes the guide rod and the rotating block to slide and rotate. With the rotation of the rotating block, the cleaning rod can reciprocate to clean, thus protecting the camera and reducing the amount of water vapor adhering to it. By setting a reinforcing cleaning mechanism at the front end of the cleaning rod, the auxiliary cleaning rod on the left side of the cleaning rod moves synchronously when the cleaning rod moves back and forth. With the assistance of the auxiliary cleaning rod, the cleaning effect can be further enhanced, thus achieving the advantage of further enhanced cleaning.
[0004] While the device in the aforementioned comparative document solves the problem of difficulty in manually cleaning when fogging occurs at the camera, it lacks a protective structure, often leaving the video surveillance device exposed for extended periods, which can damage it due to external sand and rain, affecting its lifespan. To address these issues, an image and video monitoring device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides an image and video monitoring device with advantages such as a protective structure, which solves the problem that prolonged exposure to the outside can cause damage from external sand and rain, affecting the lifespan of the video monitoring device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an image and video monitoring device, comprising a monitoring body, a lower protective shell and an upper protective shell, wherein a camera is provided on the side of the monitoring body, the lower protective shell and the upper protective shell are fitted over the surface of the camera, and the lower protective shell is located at the bottom of the upper protective shell;
[0007] Upper connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the top four corners inside the upper protective shell, and connecting bearings are fixedly connected to the bottom four corners inside the lower protective shell. Connecting nuts are fixedly connected inside the upper connecting blocks, and connecting bolts are threaded inside the connecting bearings. A knob is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting bolt, and the top of the connecting bolt is threaded into the connecting nut. An annular arc strip is fixedly connected to the surface of the upper protective shell, and an annular rainproof strip is fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular arc strip.
[0008] The above solution protects the bottom of the camera from external damage and environmental influences by setting up a lower protective shell. The combination of the upper and lower protective shells provides additional protection against external physical damage (such as sand and gravel) and environmental factors (such as rain) that could affect the camera, thereby extending the device's lifespan. The upper and lower protective shells are connected and secured by the threaded connection of the connecting nut and the connecting bolt. The annular arc strip and the annular rain guard strip prevent rainwater from directly washing over the camera.
[0009] Furthermore, an upper sealing protrusion is fixedly connected to the top of the lower protective shell, and a lower sealing recess is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper protective shell, with the top of the upper sealing protrusion engaging within the lower sealing recess.
[0010] The above solution, by setting the upper sealing protrusion and the lower sealing concave strip to engage, increases the sealing between the lower and upper protective shells, preventing dust and moisture from entering.
[0011] Furthermore, a first sealing strip is fixedly connected to the front of the lower protective shell, and a second sealing strip is fixedly connected to the front of the upper protective shell, with the top of the first sealing strip overlapping the bottom of the second sealing strip.
[0012] The above solution increases the sealing performance of the lower protective shell by setting a first sealing strip, preventing dust and moisture from entering. Similarly, setting a second sealing strip increases the sealing performance of the upper protective shell, preventing dust and moisture from entering.
[0013] Furthermore, both the lower and upper protective shells have semi-circular grooves on their sides, and a semi-ring sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inner side of the semi-circular groove.
[0014] The above solution, by setting a semi-circular groove and a semi-sealing gasket, can enhance the side sealing effect and further improve the protection level.
[0015] Furthermore, a rotary motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the camera.
[0016] The above solution utilizes a rotating motor to drive the cleaning brush to rotate.
[0017] Furthermore, a cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor.
[0018] The above method uses a rotating cleaning brush to clean the camera surface, removing dust and debris and keeping the camera clean.
[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the lower protective shell is provided with heat dissipation holes.
[0020] The above solution, by setting heat dissipation holes, allows the lower protective shell to dissipate heat, preventing the internal equipment from overheating.
[0021] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the monitoring body, and through holes are provided at the four corners of the top of the mounting plate.
[0022] The above solution provides an installation point by setting up an installation plate, allowing the monitoring unit to be securely installed in a predetermined location.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] This image and video monitoring device protects the bottom of the camera from external damage and environmental influences by setting a lower protective shell. The combination of the upper and lower protective shells provides additional protection against external physical damage (such as sand and gravel) and environmental factors (such as rain) affecting the camera, thereby extending the device's service life. The upper and lower protective shells are connected and secured by the threaded connection of the connecting nut and the connecting bolt. The annular arc strip and annular rain guard strip can block rainwater and prevent it from directly washing over the camera. The interlocking action of the upper sealing convex strip and the lower sealing concave strip increases the sealing between the lower and upper protective shells, preventing dust and moisture intrusion.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 An image and video monitoring device in this embodiment includes a monitoring body 1, a lower protective shell 2, and an upper protective shell 3. A camera 102 is provided on the side of the monitoring body 1. The lower protective shell 2 and the upper protective shell 3 are fitted onto the surface of the camera 102. The lower protective shell 2 is located at the bottom of the upper protective shell 3. By setting the lower protective shell 2, the bottom of the camera 102 can be protected to avoid external damage and environmental influences. By setting the upper protective shell 3 in combination with the lower protective shell 2, additional protection is provided to prevent external physical damage (such as sand and gravel) and environmental factors (such as rainwater) from affecting the camera 102, thereby increasing the service life of the device.
[0038] Upper protective shell 3 has upper connecting blocks 303 fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the interior.

By setting the annular arc strip 301 and the annular rainproof strip 302, rainwater can be blocked to prevent rainwater from directly washing the camera 102.
[0039] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lower protective shell 2 has an upper sealing protrusion 203 fixedly connected to its top, and the upper protective shell 3 has a lower sealing recess 306 fixedly connected to its bottom. The top of the upper sealing protrusion 203 is snapped into the lower sealing recess 306. By setting the snap-fit between the upper sealing protrusion 203 and the lower sealing recess 306, the sealing between the lower protective shell 2 and the upper protective shell 3 can be increased to prevent dust and moisture from entering. The lower protective shell 2 has a first sealing strip 201 fixedly connected to its front, and the upper protective shell 3 has a second sealing strip 305 fixedly connected to its front. The top of the first sealing strip 201 overlaps the bottom of the second sealing strip 305. By setting the first sealing strip 201, the sealing performance of the lower protective shell 2 can be increased to prevent dust and moisture from entering. By setting the second sealing strip 305, the sealing performance of the upper protective shell 3 can be increased to prevent dust and moisture from entering. Both the lower protective shell 2 and the upper protective shell 3 have semi-circular grooves 4 on their sides. A semi-ring sealing gasket 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the semi-circular groove 4. By setting the semi-circular groove 4 and the semi-sealing gasket, the side sealing effect can be enhanced, and the protection level can be further improved.
[0040] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 A rotary motor 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the camera 102. The rotary motor 104 drives the cleaning brush 105 to rotate. The output end of the rotary motor 104 is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 105. The rotation of the cleaning brush 105 can be used to clean the surface of the camera 102, remove dust and debris from the surface of the camera 102, and keep the camera 102 clean. The bottom of the lower protective shell 2 is provided with heat dissipation holes 202. The heat dissipation holes 202 allow the lower protective shell 2 to dissipate heat and prevent the internal equipment from overheating. The bottom of the monitoring body 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 101. The four corners of the top of the mounting plate 101 are provided with through holes 103. The mounting plate 101 provides mounting points to securely install the monitoring body 1 in a predetermined position.
