[0021] Example: Those skilled in the art shall connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case with wires, and select appropriate controllers according to actual conditions to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence shall refer to the working principle described below, in which the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, without explaining the electrical control.
[0022] Please see Figs. 1-3In order to solve the problem that the camera 2 will accumulate dust in the external environment for a long time, and the failure to clean the camera 2 in time will affect the monitoring quality, as well as the problem of poor stability in installation, this technical solution is set up. The detailed technical solution is as follows.
[0023] A substation monitoring device includes a mounting box 1, inside which two cameras 2 are mounted via a connecting assembly. A cleaning structure is provided on the mounting box 1 to match the two cameras 2. A support mounting structure is installed on the lower wall of the mounting box 1.
[0024] As a preferred and further option, the top surface of the mounting box 1 is a circular structure, and the side walls and bottom surface of the mounting box 1 are semi-hollow cylindrical structures.
[0025] Specifically, the cleaning structure includes a cylinder 3, which is installed on the inner wall of the mounting box 1. A fixing strip 4 is installed on the telescopic end of the cylinder 3, and a wiping strip 5 is installed on the fixing strip 4. The wiping strip 5 has an L-shaped structure and is matched with the camera 2.
[0026] Specifically, the connecting components include a top electric turntable 10, which is installed on the top surface inside the mounting box 1. A connecting plate 11 is installed on the lower wall of the top electric turntable 10. Two lower electric turntables 12 are symmetrically installed on the lower wall of the connecting plate 11 with the top electric turntable 10 as the center. Two cameras 2 are respectively installed on the lower wall of the two lower electric turntables 12.
[0027] It should be noted that, through the operation of the top electric turntable 10, and with the connection of the connecting plate 11, the two cameras 2 alternately align with the cleaning structure. The cleaning structure cleans the corresponding camera 2. During cleaning, the cylinder 3 extends to its limit position. At this time, the wiping strip 5 adheres to the outer wall of the camera 2. Through the operation of the lower electric turntable 12, the camera 2 is driven to rotate, so that the wiping strip 5 wipes and cleans the outer wall of the camera 2. The fixing strip 4 is used to install the wiping strip 5 to improve the monitoring quality. The two cameras 2 work alternately to avoid monitoring failure due to the cleaning of the camera 2 and to ensure uninterrupted monitoring. Among them, the camera 2 being cleaned does not work, while the other camera 2 works.
[0028] Specifically, the support installation structure includes an adjustment component, which is installed on the lower wall of the installation box 1. An insertion post 6 is installed on the adjustment component. An enlarged plate 25 is provided on the outer wall of the upper end of the insertion post 6. The insertion post 6 is a hollow structure. A first electric push rod 7 is installed on the top inner side of the insertion post 6. A pressing frustum block 8 is installed on the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 7. Multiple horizontal forks 9 are equidistantly inserted into the insertion post 6. Each horizontal fork 9 has an arc-shaped structure at one end inside the insertion post 6 and is movably attached to the outer wall of the pressing frustum block 8. An elastic guide component is installed on each horizontal fork 9 and the inner wall of the insertion post 6.
[0029] It should be noted that when fixing the device, firstly, a recess with a diameter greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the insert post 6 is made in the ground. The insert post 6 is inserted into the recess, and the enlarged plate 25 is supported on the ground for limiting the position. With the connection of the elastic guide component, each crossbar 9 is movably attached to the side wall of the pressing frustum block 8. By extending the first electric push rod 7, the pressing frustum block 8 is lowered. The pressing frustum block 8 pushes multiple crossbars 9 out of the insert post 6 and inserts multiple crossbars 9 into the side wall of the recess, ensuring the fixing quality of the device. At this time, the elastic guide component is compressed. When it is necessary to disassemble the device, by retracting the first electric push rod 7, the pressing frustum block 8 is raised. Under the action of the elastic guide component, multiple crossbars 9 are retracted into the insert post 6, and the insert post 6 can be pulled out of the recess. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0030] Specifically, the support rod 13 is installed on the lower wall of the mounting box 1, and the support box 14 is movably fitted onto one end of the support rod 13. The second electric push rod 15 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the support box 14, and the motor 16 is installed on the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 15. The support rod 13 is installed on the drive end of the motor 16, the insert post 6 is installed on the lower wall of the support box 14, and the control components are installed on the outer wall of the support box 14.
[0031] It should be noted that after the device is installed on the ground by the support structure, the operator can control the extension and retraction of the second electric push rod 15 through the operation control component to adjust the height of the camera 2. Then, the operator can control the motor 16 to work through the operation control component to make the camera 2 point at the location to be monitored. There is no need to debug the monitoring camera 2 during the installation stage, which makes it convenient to use.
[0032] Specifically, the elastic guide assembly includes a fixing plate 17, which is mounted on the crossbar 9. A sleeve 18 is mounted on the fixing plate 17, and a guide rod 19 is movably inserted into the sleeve 18. One end of the guide rod 19 is mounted on the inner wall of the insert post 6, and a spring 20 is installed between the guide rod 19 and the sleeve 18.
[0033] It should be noted that when the cross fork 9 extends out of the insert post 6, the fixing plate 17 and the sleeve 18 move with the cross fork 9. The sleeve 18 moves at one end of the guide rod 19. At this time, the spring 20 is compressed. The sleeve 18 and the guide rod 19 play the role of supporting and guiding the cross fork 9. When the cross fork 9 retracts into the insert post 6, the spring 20 is released, so that the cross fork 9 returns to its original position.
[0034] Specifically, the control components include a sealed box 21, which is installed on the outer wall of the support box 14. A display screen 22 is installed on the inner wall of the sealed box 21, and a control panel 23 is installed on the inner wall of the sealed box 21 and below the display screen 22.
[0035] It should be noted that the sealed box 21 is used to install and cover the display screen 22 and the control panel 23. The image captured by the camera 2 at the opening on the mounting box 1 can be viewed through the display screen 22, which is convenient for debugging the device. The operation of the cleaning structure and the support mounting structure can be controlled by operating the control panel 23. The control unit can be the control panel 23 with a built-in microcontroller. The microcontroller can be programmed with software. By writing the control program, the control operation of the device can be realized. Since this is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.
[0036] As a preferred and further option, the sealed box 21 is equipped with a box door 24 for sealing the sealed box 21 and protecting the display screen 22 and control panel 23. The box door 24 is opened only when the display screen 22 and control panel 23 need to be used.
[0037] Preferably, the upper diameter of the pressing frustum block 8 is larger than the lower diameter of the pressing frustum block 8.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
