[0009] The cleaning rod has connecting rods at both ends, and the other end of the connecting rods is connected to a rotating sleeve that is rotatably mounted on the conveyor belt. Each of the two sets of conveyor belts has a rotating sleeve; the two rotating sleeves are located on the same side of the corresponding two sets of conveyor belts.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes equipment brackets, which include:

[0011] A horizontal adjustment component is used to adjust the horizontal orientation of the main body of the equipment. The horizontal adjustment component is located at the end of the support rod.

[0012] An elevation adjustment component for adjusting the elevation angle of the main body of the equipment includes a second support. The main body of the equipment is fixedly mounted on the second support, and the lower support point of the second support is hinged to the upper support point of the first support via a rotating pivot.

[0013] Furthermore, the elevation adjustment component includes a forward and reverse motor, which is fixedly installed at one end of the first support, and the output shaft of the forward and reverse motor is driven by an external threaded rod.

[0014] The elevation adjustment component also includes an internal threaded sleeve, which is installed on the external threaded rod via a threaded connection.

[0015] Furthermore, the second support end has a slider, and the top end of the internal threaded sleeve is hinged to the slider at the second support end.

[0016] Furthermore, the leveling component includes a telescopic rod;

[0017] One end of the telescopic rod is equipped with a first hinge seat, which is rotatably mounted on the support rod;

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0036] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, a highway tunnel electromechanical monitoring device is provided, which includes a main body and a support frame.

[0038] The main body of the equipment includes a surveillance camera 1;

[0039] The equipment support includes a support rod 2, and a horizontal adjustment component is installed at the end of the support rod 2. The horizontal adjustment component is used to adjust the horizontal orientation of the main body of the equipment. The equipment support also includes an elevation adjustment component for adjusting the elevation angle of the main body of the equipment.

[0040] Among them, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the elevation angle adjustment component provided by this utility model includes a second support 5. The main body of the device (i.e., the monitoring camera 1) is supported and fixedly installed on the second support 5. The lower support point of the second support 5 is hinged and rotatably set on the upper support point of the first support 3 through a rotating support shaft 51, so that the lower support point of the second support 5 can rotate relative to the upper support point of the first support 3, and the rotation axis is the central axis of the rotating support shaft 51.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, the elevation adjustment component includes a forward and reverse motor 52, which is fixedly installed at one end of the first support 3. The output shaft of the forward and reverse motor 52 is driven by an external threaded rod 54. The forward and reverse motor 52 is a servo motor with forward and reverse functions, which is an outsourced component and its output shaft rotation can be precisely controlled by a PLC controller.

[0042] The elevation adjustment component also includes an internal threaded sleeve 53, which is installed on the external threaded rod 54 by means of a threaded connection. The external threaded rod 54 is driven to rotate by a forward and reverse motor 52. Based on the rotation direction of the external threaded rod 54, the internal threaded sleeve 53 is driven to move vertically.

[0043] In addition, the end of the second support 5 has a slider that can slide a certain distance along the end of the second support 5. The top of the internal threaded sleeve 53 is hinged to the slider at the end of the second support 5. The slider is designed to prevent interference at the hinge point at the top of the internal threaded sleeve 53 during the up-and-down movement of the internal threaded sleeve 53. In this embodiment, the vertical movement of the internal threaded sleeve 53 pushes the end of the second support 5 away from or close to the end of the first support 3 in the same direction, so that the second support 5 can rotate a certain angle relative to the first support 3, thereby adjusting the elevation angle of the main body of the equipment installed on the second support 5.

[0044] Please continue to refer to Figures 1-3 In one implementation of this utility model, the horizontal adjustment component includes a telescopic rod 4, one end of which is equipped with a first hinge seat 41, which is rotatably mounted on the support rod 2, and the other end of the telescopic rod 4 is equipped with a second hinge seat 42, which is rotatably hinged to the outer side wall of the end of the first support 3.

[0045] The horizontal adjustment component provided in this embodiment utilizes the telescopic function of the telescopic rod 4 to push the first support 3 to adjust its orientation in the horizontal direction;

[0046] The first support 3 is rotatably supported at the end of the support rod 2.

[0047] In practice, the support rod 2 provided in this embodiment is fixedly installed on the rock wall support of the high-speed tunnel by screw suspension.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The surveillance camera 1 is equipped with a lens 12 and a protective cover 11, which protects the lens 12.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a cleaning component is provided inside the protective cover 11, which is used to clean the dust adhering to the surface of the lens 12;

[0050] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the protective cover 11 has a dust discharge port 13, which facilitates the discharge of dust when the dust on the surface of the lens 12 is cleaned using the cleaning components.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one implementation of this utility model, the cleaning component includes two sets of conveyor belts 111. For a single set of conveyor belts 111, its two ends are respectively wound around two pulleys 112. One of the pulleys 112 is driven to rotate by a servo motor 117. That is, the servo motor 117 drives the pulley 112 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 111 to run. The two sets of conveyor belts 111 run in the same direction.

[0052] For the two sets of conveyor belts 111, a cleaning rod 113 is connected between the two sets of conveyor belts 111. Several cleaning brushes 114 are evenly distributed on the cleaning rod 113. The cleaning brushes 114 are pressed against the surface of the lens 12. When the two sets of conveyor belts 111 operate synchronously, they drive the cleaning rod 113 to move up and down back and forth in front of the lens 12. Since the cleaning brushes 114 are pressed against the surface of the lens 12, the dust on the surface of the lens 12 can be cleaned. The dust that falls off during cleaning eventually falls to the ground through the dust discharge port 13.

[0053] Preferably, both ends of the cleaning rod 113 are connected to connecting rods 116, and the other end of the connecting rod 116 is connected to a rotating sleeve 115 rotatably mounted on the conveyor belt 111. That is, each of the two sets of conveyor belts 111 has a rotating sleeve 115 rotatably mounted on it. In particular, the two rotating sleeves 115 are located on the same side of the corresponding two sets of conveyor belts 111, i.e. Figure 4 As shown, both rotating sleeves 115 are located on the right half of the conveyor belt 111.

[0054] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the two sets of conveyor belts 111 are driven to rotate by corresponding servo motors 117, that is, the two servo motors 117 drive the two sets of conveyor belts 111 to perform synchronous operation. Here, the synchronous operation of the two sets of conveyor belts 111 can be achieved by a PLC controller. Alternatively, in another implementation, one servo motor 117 can be used to drive one set of conveyor belts 111 to rotate, and the two sets of conveyor belts 111 are connected by a transmission chain, so that one servo motor 117 simultaneously drives the two sets of conveyor belts 111 to operate synchronously in the same direction. In specific implementation, the configuration can be selected as needed.

[0055] In addition, the connecting rod 116 and the cleaning rod 113 provided in this embodiment can be connected in a non-fixed manner. For example, the end of the cleaning rod 113 can be connected to the connecting rod 116 by a sliding sleeve. The sliding sleeve can be connected by an elastic rope, so that the two sets of conveyor belts 111 are connected in a non-rigid manner.

[0056] The above solutions are merely illustrative examples of preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. When implementing this invention, appropriate substitutions and / or modifications can be made according to the user's needs.

[0057] The number of devices and processing scale described herein are for the purpose of simplifying the description of this utility model. Applications, modifications, and variations of this utility model will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0058] Although embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. It can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. Other modifications can be readily implemented by those skilled in the art. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and examples shown and described herein.
