[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] This utility model provides a smart water monitoring device with self-cleaning function. By setting a housing, the monitoring device body is placed inside the housing. A fixed frame is set at the front end of the housing, and a transparent glass is set inside the fixed frame. The camera at the front end of the monitoring device can monitor through the transparent glass. A cleaning component is set on the side wall of the fixed frame. When dust adheres to the surface of the transparent glass, the motor of the cleaning component is activated to drive the lifting plate to move up and down. The wiping cloth on the side wall of the lifting plate wipes and cleans the surface of the transparent glass, thus removing the dust and preventing dust from obstructing the camera and affecting the monitoring effect during use.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Regarding the aforementioned problem 1: When using existing smart water monitoring devices, most of their cameras are exposed to the outside, and dust and other particles inevitably adhere to the camera surface, affecting the monitoring effect.

[0029] The solution is as follows: This embodiment of a smart water monitoring device with self-cleaning function includes a housing 100, a monitoring device body 200, and a cleaning component 300.

[0030] The housing 100 has a receiving groove 110 on its side wall and a fixing frame 120 installed at the front end of the housing 100. The fixing frame 120 has a transparent glass 121 inside. The monitoring device body 200 is located inside the receiving groove 110. The front end of the monitoring device body 200 abuts against the rear end of the fixing frame 120. The front end of the monitoring device body 200 has a camera 210. When in use, the camera 210 can monitor the outside through the transparent glass 121.

[0031] The cleaning assembly 300 includes two extension plates 310 symmetrically mounted on the sidewalls of the fixed frame 120 and a lifting plate 320 located within the diameter of the two extension plates 310. A first motor 311 is mounted on the top of the upper extension plate 310. The output end of the first motor 311 extends between the two extension plates 310 and is fitted with a first threaded rod 312. A wiping cloth 321 is mounted on the sidewall of the lifting plate 320 and is attached to the transparent glass 121. A first threaded hole 322 is opened on the top of the lifting plate 320, and the first threaded rod 312 rotates through the first threaded hole 322. A cleaning assembly 320 is installed between the two extension plates 310. There is a guide rod 313, and the top of the lifting plate 320 is also provided with a guide hole 323. The guide rod 313 passes through the guide hole 323. In use, the first motor 311 is started to drive the first threaded rod 312 to rotate. When the first threaded rod 312 rotates, the screw structure pushes the lifting plate 320 to move up and down. When the lifting plate 320 moves, it drives the cleaning cloth 321 to move up and down against the surface of the transparent glass 121. The cleaning cloth 321 cleans the dust and stains adsorbed on the surface of the transparent glass 121 to prevent dust and stains from affecting the camera 210's monitoring of the outside through the transparent glass 121.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Regarding the second problem to be solved above: When cleaning dust from the camera surface of the existing smart water monitoring device, the cleaning cloth inevitably obstructs the camera, affecting its normal use.

[0034] The solution is as follows: This embodiment of a smart water monitoring device with self-cleaning function further includes:

[0035] Two cleaning components 300 are symmetrically located on the side wall of the fixed frame 120. The monitoring device body 200 is slidably connected inside the receiving groove 110. When the monitoring device body 200 is located on the left side inside the receiving groove 110, the camera 210 is located between the first threaded rod 312 and the guide rod 313 on the left side, and the lifting plate 320 on the left side is located below the camera 210. When the monitoring device body 200 is located on the right side inside the receiving groove 110, the camera 210 is located between the first threaded rod 312 and the guide rod 313 on the right side, and the lifting plate 320 on the right side is located below the camera 210. When the monitoring device body 200 is located on the left side inside the receiving groove 110, the lifting plate 320 on the right side moves up and down to clean the right half of the transparent glass 121. When the monitoring device body 200 is located on the right side inside the receiving groove 110, the lifting plate 320 on the left side moves up and down to clean the left half of the transparent glass 121.

[0036] Two fixing plates 130 are symmetrically mounted at the rear of the housing 100. A second motor 140 is mounted on the side wall of one of the fixing plates 130. The output end of the second motor 140 extends between the two fixing plates 130 and is fitted with a second threaded rod 150. A fixing block 220 is mounted at the rear of the monitoring device body 200. A second threaded hole 230 is formed on the side wall of the fixing block 220. The second threaded rod 150 rotates through the second threaded hole 230. A guide groove 160 is formed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 110. A guide plate 240 is mounted on the side wall of the monitoring device body 200 and is located inside the guide groove 160. Heat dissipation grooves 170 are formed on the symmetrical side walls of the housing 100. When it is necessary to clean the left half of the transparent glass 121, the second motor is started. 140 drives the second threaded rod 150 to rotate. When the second threaded rod 150 rotates, it uses the screw structure to push the fixing block 220 to move the monitoring device body 200 to the right inside the receiving groove 110. At this time, the first motor 311 on the left side is started to drive the lifting plate 320 to move up and down to clean the left half of the transparent glass 121. After cleaning, the lifting plate 320 is reset. When dust adheres to the surface of the transparent glass 121 on the right side, the second motor 140 is started to drive the second threaded rod 150 to rotate, pushing the monitoring device body 200 to the left side inside the receiving groove 110. At this time, the first motor 311 on the right side is started to drive the lifting plate 321 on the right side to move up and down to clean the right half of the transparent glass 121.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
