[0007] When the nozzle sprays water through the nozzle, the driving mechanism can drive the lower end of the lens transparent baffle to rotate outward, so that the water sprayed from the nozzle can flow downward along the outer surface of the lens transparent baffle.

[0008] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a first motor fixed to the camera body, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft of the lens transparent baffle.

[0013] Preferably, a stud is fixed to the side of the camera body, the mounting bracket has a through groove, the head of the stud is inserted into the groove, and the stud is threaded with a fixing nut.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By adding a transparent lens baffle to the outside of the lens glass, this invention provides excellent protection for the lens glass. Simultaneously, this invention utilizes a drive mechanism to rotate the transparent lens baffle to an inclined state. Combined with the water curtain-like flow formed by the nozzle and water tank, this effectively washes away dust from the surface of the transparent lens baffle, avoiding the wear and tear that may be caused by directly wiping the lens with a traditional windshield wiper. Furthermore, the wiper mechanism provides double protection for cleaning the transparent lens baffle, ensuring thorough cleaning even when there is a lot of dust or dust that is difficult to rinse off.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 .

[0023] Example 1

[0024] A 5G-based intrinsically safe wireless dust removal camera for mining includes a camera body 1, a lens module 2 and a motherboard 3. One end of the camera body 1 has a lens glass, and the shooting end of the lens module 2 faces the lens glass for real-time recording of underground conditions. The motherboard 3 is connected to a 5G module 4, which is equipped with an antenna 5 for signal reception and transmission. The motherboard 3 also has an image processor for detecting the image captured by the lens module 2 through the lens glass. This is prior art; for reference, see Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. 202321214751.4, which discloses a mining camera with 5G and Wi-Fi signal transmission interfaces. Further details are omitted here.

[0025] In the existing technology, when the image is dirty in the real-time video stream from the mine, the image processor generates an alarm output. The alarm signal is converted into an electrical signal by the motherboard 3, and then the lens glass is wiped by the wiper mechanism. There are two main problems with the existing technology: first, it is easy to scratch the lens glass by directly wiping it with the wiper mechanism, making the captured image blurry; second, it is difficult to wipe away thick dust by directly using the wiper mechanism.

[0026] To solve the above problems, the main innovation of this utility model lies in:

[0027] The main body 1 of the camera is connected to a lens transparent baffle 6. The lens transparent baffle 6 is used to block the surface of the lens glass to prevent dust. Specifically, a nozzle 7 is installed at the upper end of the lens transparent baffle 6. The nozzle 7 is connected to a spray pipe 8. The spray pipe 8 is connected to a water spraying device to spray water onto the surface of the lens transparent baffle 6 to achieve a cleaning effect.

[0028] Furthermore, the upper end of the lens transparent baffle 6 is rotatably connected to the camera body 1. The camera body 1 is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the lower end of the lens transparent baffle 6 to rotate outward. When the nozzle 8 sprays water through the nozzle 7, the drive mechanism can drive the lower end of the lens transparent baffle 6 to rotate outward, so that the water sprayed from the nozzle 7 can flow downward along the outer surface of the lens transparent baffle 6.

[0029] With the above-described structure, this utility model, in use, can be blocked on the surface of the lens glass by the lens transparent baffle 6, as shown in the image. Figure 1 As shown, the lens transparent baffle 6 serves to protect the lens glass. It can be a glass structure and will not affect the normal shooting of the lens module 2. When dust removal of the lens glass is required, the lower end of the lens transparent baffle 6 can be rotated outwards via a drive mechanism, causing the lens transparent baffle 6 to rotate to the desired position. Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, water is then sprayed onto the surface of the lens transparent baffle 6 through the nozzle 7 for cleaning. It is worth mentioning that when the lower end of the lens transparent baffle 6 is rotated outward to reach an inclined state, the water sprayed from the nozzle 7 can flow downward on the surface of the lens transparent baffle 6 better under the action of gravity, thereby rinsing away the dust on the surface of the lens transparent baffle 6. After rinsing, the lens transparent baffle 6 can be rotated back to its original position by the drive mechanism.

[0030] The drive mechanism includes a first motor 9 fixed to the camera body 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 9 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft of the lens transparent baffle 6.

[0031] A water tank 10 is fixed on the upper outer surface of the lens transparent baffle 6. The nozzle 7 is connected to the water tank 10. A narrow slit 11 is opened at the lower end of the water tank 10. The water sprayed by the nozzle 7 first gathers in the water tank 10, and then sprays out through the narrow slit 11 to form a water curtain structure, which can better cover the surface of the lens transparent baffle 6.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Based on Embodiment 1, the lower end of the lens transparent baffle 6 is provided with a wiper mechanism 12 for wiping the surface of the lens transparent baffle 6. When there is a lot of dust on the surface of the lens transparent baffle 6 and it is difficult to clean, the wiper mechanism 12 can be activated to wipe it, so as to achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0034] The wiper mechanism 12 includes a second motor 121 and a wiper 122. The second motor 121 is fixed to the lens transparent baffle 6, and one end of the wiper 122 is fixed to the output shaft of the second motor 121. During the washing process using the spray nozzle 7, the external power supply of the second motor 121 can be connected, and the wiper 122 will be driven to rotate through the output shaft of the second motor 121. The rotation of the wiper 122 will wipe the surface of the lens transparent baffle 6.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the camera body 1 is connected to a mounting bracket 13.

[0037] The mounting bracket 13 has a U-shaped structure. A rotating shaft is fixed to the side of the camera body 1. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 13. By setting the mounting bracket 13, the camera body 1 can rotate on the mounting bracket 13 to adjust the installation angle.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a stud 15 is fixed to the side of the camera body 1, and a slot 16 is provided through the mounting bracket 13. The head of the stud 15 is inserted into the slot 16, and a fixing nut 14 is threadedly connected to the stud 15. The mounting bracket 13 is used to fix it to the wall. After the mounting bracket 13 is fixed, the installation angle can be adjusted by rotating the camera body 1. During the rotation of the camera body 1, the stud 15 moves in the slot 16. After adjusting the angle, the fixing nut 14 is threadedly connected to the stud 15, so that the fixing nut 14 is close to the surface of the mounting bracket 13 to fix the angle of the camera body 1.

[0039] In summary, this invention not only improves the dustproof and cleaning efficiency of mining cameras, but also protects the integrity of the lens and extends its service life.

[0040] 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.
