[0002] With the continuous development of technology, surveillance cameras have been widely used in highway operation monitoring. Surveillance cameras can capture road conditions in real time and transmit image data to the analysis system. Through image analysis technology, road surface defects can be detected and traffic parameters can be statistically analyzed, providing important data support for the analysis of the health status of highway operations.
[0003] Currently, surveillance cameras exposed to the environment for extended periods may accumulate dust. If this dust is not cleaned in time, it can obstruct the camera lens, limiting or blurring the field of view, thus affecting the camera's effective observation and real-time recording. More importantly, this obstructed field of view may delay or hinder the immediate identification and response to emergencies, posing potential risks to highway operation safety and traffic management. To address this, we propose a highway operation health status analyzer. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highway operation health status analyzer to address the problem mentioned in the background art: current monitoring cameras may accumulate dust when exposed to the environment for extended periods.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a highway operation health status analyzer, including a bracket 1 and a camera body 2, and also including: a cleaning component 3, a fan 4, a filter component 5 and a protective component 13;
[0026] The camera body 2, fan 4, and filter assembly 5 are all installed on the top of the bracket 1. The camera body 2 regularly inspects the road surface and detects the road condition through image analysis technology. The cleaning assembly 3 is set on the top of the camera body 2. When the fan 4 is powered on, it generates negative pressure airflow. This negative pressure airflow cleans the mirror surface of the camera body 2 through the cleaning assembly 3 and collects the impurities generated during the cleaning process to the filter assembly 5 for centralized treatment. The protective assembly 13 is installed on the outer side of the camera body 2. The cleaning assembly 3 includes a cleaning brush 37. The protective assembly 13 is used to store and protect the cleaning brush 37 when it is not working.
[0027] The air outlet of the fan 4 is connected to the air outlet pipe 6, and the air inlet of the fan 4 is connected to the air inlet pipe 7. One end of the air inlet pipe 7 is equipped with a flexible hose 8. The top of the bracket 1 is equipped with a fixing sleeve 9. The air inlet pipe 7 is fixed to the top of the bracket 1 through the fixing sleeve 9. The top of the bracket 1 is equipped with a protective cover 10. The top of the protective cover 10 is connected with a cover 14. A ventilation pipe 11 is installed on one side of the protective cover 10. The ventilation pipe 11 is equipped with a filter cotton 12.
[0028] The fixing sleeve 9 can fix the air inlet pipe 7 to prevent it from shaking under the action of airflow. The filter cotton 12 reduces the entry of external impurities into the protective cover 10. The protective cover 10 protects the fan 4 and the filter assembly 5. The filter assembly 5 allows airflow through the ventilation pipe 11.
[0029] The cleaning component 3 includes a mounting base 31 installed on the top of the camera body 2. A motor 32 is installed inside the mounting base 31. The output end of the motor 32 is connected to a rotating base 33. An electric push rod 34 is installed on the outer side of the rotating base 33. A connecting frame 35 is installed on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 34. A motor 36 is installed on the outer side of the connecting frame 35. The telescopic end of the motor 36 is connected to a cleaning brush 37. Several sets of through holes 38 are opened on one side of the cleaning brush 37. The cleaning brush 37 has a hollow structure. A protective groove 39 is opened on the outer side of the cleaning brush 37 and at the edge.
[0030] One end of the telescopic hose 8 is connected to the cleaning brush 37. The telescopic hose 8 does not affect the cleaning brush 37's performance when it moves.
[0031] The filter assembly 5 includes a filter box 51 installed on the top of the bracket 1, a filter plate 52 connected inside the filter box 51, a dust concentration sensor 53 installed on one side inside the filter box 51, an air outlet 54 opened on one side of the filter box 51, and a cover plate 55 connected to the top of the filter box 51.
[0032] One end of the air outlet pipe 6 is connected to the filter box 51, and clean gas is discharged from the air outlet 54. The dust concentration sensor 53 is used to detect the dust level. When the dust concentration sensor 53 detects a large amount of dust, it sends a signal to the central processing unit to remind the staff. When the amount of dust suddenly increases, the power of the fan 4 is increased to improve the cleaning effect.
[0033] The protective component 13 includes a mounting base 131 installed on one side of the camera body 2. Several sets of springs 132 are installed inside the mounting base 131, and a protective plate 133 is installed on one end of each spring 132.
[0034] The analyzer uses camera body 2 to regularly inspect the road surface and uses image analysis technology to detect the health status of highway operation. At the same time, cleaning component 3, fan 4, filter component 5 and protection component 13 work together to ensure the cleanliness of the mirror surface of camera body 2, ensure the quality of image acquisition, and provide reliable data for highway operation health status analysis. Camera body 2 is installed on the top of bracket 1 and scans and takes pictures of the road surface according to a preset program or time interval. The captured image data is transmitted to the analysis system. Image analysis technology is used to detect road surface defects such as cracks and ruts, and to collect traffic parameters such as traffic flow, vehicle speed, and lane occupancy, providing a basis for highway maintenance and traffic management.
[0035] When the camera body 2 needs cleaning, the electric push rod 34 drives the connecting bracket 35 to extend forward, so that the protective plate 133 is removed from the protective groove 39. At this time, the motor 1 32 drives the rotating seat 33 to rotate, which drives the cleaning brush 37 to make a circular motion around the mirror surface of the camera body 2. When the cleaning brush 37 is facing the mirror surface of the camera body 2, the electric push rod 34 extends and retracts through the connecting bracket 35 to drive the cleaning brush 37 to approach the mirror surface of the camera body 2. Then the motor 2 36 is started. The output end of the motor 2 36 drives the cleaning brush 37 to rotate 180° counterclockwise on the mirror surface and then rotate 180° counterclockwise again, and repeats the rotation to clean the mirror surface.
[0036] Since the cleaning brush 37 has a hollow structure, when the cleaning brush 37 wipes and cleans the mirror surface, the fan 4 is activated at the same time. The fan 4 is powered on and generates negative pressure airflow, which cleans and collects dust, impurities and other debris on the mirror surface through the telescopic hose 8 and the air inlet pipe 7. The impurities and airflow generated during the cleaning process are transported to the filter assembly 5 through the air outlet pipe 6 for filtration.
[0037] Airflow containing impurities is discharged into filter box 51. Dust and other impurities in the airflow are intercepted by filter plate 52, and clean air is discharged from air outlet 54. A dust concentration sensor 53 is installed on one side inside filter box 51 to monitor the dust concentration in filter box 51 in real time. When the dust concentration reaches the set threshold, an alarm can be issued to remind staff to clean filter box 51 in time and increase the power of fan 4 to improve dust collection efficiency. A cover plate 55 is connected to the top of filter box 51. Opening the cover plate 55 allows for easy cleaning or replacement of filter plate 52.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] In this second embodiment, the other structures remain unchanged. The difference from the first embodiment is that when the cleaning brush 37 is not working, the electric push rod 34 and the motor 32 are reset, and the protective groove 39 opened on one side of the cleaning brush 37 is stored inside the protective plate 133, which protects the cleaning brush 37 and prevents it from being damaged by the external environment.
