[0002] With the rapid development of surveillance technology, surveillance cameras have been widely used in public safety, traffic management, commercial surveillance, and home security. The clarity and stability of surveillance cameras directly affect the quality of the monitored images, thus impacting the effectiveness of the surveillance system. However, surveillance cameras are exposed to the outdoor environment for extended periods, making them susceptible to contaminants such as dust, rainwater, and insect residue, leading to dirt on the lens surface and affecting image quality. In severe cases, this can even create blind spots, significantly reducing the practicality of the surveillance system. Traditional lens cleaning methods rely heavily on manual, periodic wiping, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, we have made improvements by proposing a lens cleaning component and surveillance camera. Utility Model Content

Traditional lens cleaning methods mostly rely on manual wiping at regular intervals, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0028] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a lens cleaning assembly and a monitoring probe.

[0029] For details, please refer to Figures 2-5 The lens cleaning components specifically include:

[0030] The drive mechanism 2 includes a drive unit connected to a telescopic member, which is connected to a support plate 207. The support plate 207 has several limiting holes 208. A cleaning part is arranged between the several limiting holes 208. The cleaning part includes several limiting rods 302, which are respectively inserted into the several limiting holes 208. A support plate 3 is fixedly connected between the several limiting rods 302. A cleaning brush 301 is fixedly connected to the side of the support plate 3 away from the limiting rods 302.

[0031] The lens cleaning assembly and monitoring probe provided by this utility model, through the setting of the driving mechanism 2, the driving part in the driving mechanism 2 can drive the carrier plate 207 to move through the telescopic member. During the movement of the carrier plate 207, the cleaning brush 301 can be moved through the limiting rod 302 and the support plate 3 to clean the lens of the monitoring probe body 1, realizing automated lens cleaning and reducing manual intervention. Under the action of the telescopic member, the carrier plate 207 cooperates with the monitoring probe body 1 to limit the support plate 3, the cleaning brush 301 and the limiting rod 302. Pushing the carrier plate 207 away from the monitoring probe body 1, and then pulling the cleaning brush 301 to separate the limiting rod 302 from the limiting hole 208, the cleaning part can be removed for cleaning and replacement.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0034] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0035] Example 1, please refer to Figures 2-5 A lens cleaning assembly includes a drive mechanism 2, which includes a drive unit connected to a telescopic member. The telescopic member is connected to a support plate 207. The support plate 207 has several limiting holes 208. A cleaning part is disposed between the several limiting holes 208. The cleaning part includes several limiting rods 302, which are respectively inserted into the several limiting holes 208. A support plate 3 is fixedly connected between the several limiting rods 302. A cleaning brush 301 is fixedly connected to the side of the support plate 3 away from the limiting rods 302. The drive mechanism 2, as described in this application, allows the drive unit to drive the lens through the telescopic member. The moving support plate 207 moves, and during the movement of the support plate 207, it can drive the cleaning brush 301 to move through the limiting rod 302 and the support plate 3 to clean the lens of the monitoring probe body 1, realizing automated cleaning of the lens and reducing manual intervention. Under the action of the telescopic component, the support plate 207 cooperates with the monitoring probe body 1 to limit the support plate 3, the cleaning brush 301 and the limiting rod 302. Pushing the support plate 207 away from the monitoring probe body 1, and then pulling the cleaning brush 301 to separate the limiting rod 302 from the limiting hole 208, the cleaning part can be removed for cleaning and replacement.

[0036] Example 2 further optimizes the lens cleaning assembly provided in Example 1, specifically, as follows: Figures 2-5 As shown, the telescopic component includes a connecting plate 205 disposed on the drive unit, and a connecting rod 206 is inserted and connected to the connecting plate 205. One end of the connecting rod 206 is fixedly connected to the bearing plate 207. The drive unit can drive the bearing plate 207 to move through the connecting plate 205 and the connecting rod 206.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a cavity 209 is provided in the connecting plate 205, and the connecting rod 206 passes through the cavity 209. A baffle 210 is slidably connected in the cavity 209, and the baffle 210 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting rod 206. The baffle 210 can limit the connecting rod 206 to prevent the connecting rod 206 from detaching from the connecting plate 205.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a spring 211 located in the chamber 209 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting rod 206. The two ends of the spring 211 are fixedly connected to the baffle 210 and the chamber 209, respectively. The force of the spring 211 can pull the support plate 207 through the connecting rod 206, so that the support plate 207 can drive the cleaning brush 301 to fit against the monitoring probe body 1. This not only improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning brush 301 on the lens of the monitoring probe body 1, but also limits the position of the cleaning brush 301.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a support rod 212 is inserted and connected to the connecting plate 205. One end of the support rod 212 is fixedly connected to the bearing plate 207. The support rod 212 can support and limit the bearing plate 207 to improve the stability of the bearing plate 207 during use.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a push plate 213 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 206 away from the bearing plate 207. The push plate 213 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 212 away from the bearing plate 207. The push plate 213 can connect the support rod 212 and the connecting rod 206 together to improve the stability between the connecting rod 206 and the support rod 212.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drive unit includes a reciprocating lead screw 202, a slider 204 is provided on the reciprocating lead screw 202, and a connecting plate 205 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 204. During the rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 202, it can drive the slider 204 to move back and forth.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the drive unit also includes two support seats 201. The reciprocating screw 202 is disposed between the two support seats 201 through bearings. One end of the reciprocating screw 202 is connected to one of the support seats 201 by a motor 203. The two support seats 201 cooperate with each other to support the reciprocating screw 202, and the motor 203 can drive the reciprocating screw 202 to rotate.

[0043] Example 3, please refer to Figure 1 A surveillance probe using a lens cleaning assembly includes a surveillance probe body 1, two support bases 201 mounted on the surveillance probe body 1, and a cleaning brush 301 with its side away from the support plate 3 in contact with the lens end of the surveillance probe body 1 so that the cleaning brush 301 can clean the lens of the surveillance probe body 1.

[0044] Furthermore, the side of the slider 204 away from the connecting plate 205 is slidably connected to the monitoring probe body 1, so that the monitoring probe body 1 can limit the slider 204 and improve the stability of the slider 204 when it moves horizontally.

[0045] The lens cleaning assembly and monitoring probe provided by this utility model are used as follows:

[0046] Motor 203 drives reciprocating screw 202 to rotate, causing slider 204 to move back and forth. Slider 204 drives bearing plate 207 to move back and forth through connecting plate 205 and connecting rod 206. Bearing plate 207 drives cleaning brush 301 to move through limiting rod 302 and support plate 3. The cleaning brush 301 wipes the lens of the monitoring probe body 1 to clean the lens. During the movement of cleaning brush 301, the force of spring 211 pulls bearing plate 207 through connecting rod 206, so that bearing plate 207 can push cleaning brush 301 to fit against monitoring probe body 1, thereby improving the cleaning effect of cleaning brush 301 on monitoring probe body 1.

[0047] When the cleaning part needs to be cleaned or replaced, push the push plate 213 towards the connecting plate 205. The push plate 213 pushes the bearing plate 207 away from the slider 204 through the connecting rod 206. Then pull the cleaning brush 301 to separate the limiting rod 302 from the bearing plate 207, and the cleaning part can be removed. During installation, insert the limiting rod 302 into the limiting hole 208 and then release the push plate 213.
