Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring technology, and in particular to a mobile sentry monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] Sentinel monitoring devices are used for remote monitoring and early warning. They are typically deployed in critical areas requiring continuous surveillance, such as borders, military facilities, nuclear power plants, and oil pipelines. Their structural design aims to achieve efficient and reliable environmental monitoring and anomaly detection. With modularity as the core, the components work together to achieve efficient monitoring. Their advantages lie in scalability, low power consumption, and intelligence.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent CN221300843U discloses an electronic sentinel monitoring device. Addressing the issue that the intelligent electronic sentinel head is positioned high on a pole, requiring maintenance personnel to climb to a height for work, which is inconvenient and poses safety hazards, the device utilizes a rotating rod to drive a first screw, causing a threaded sleeve to lower the lifting seat and the electronic sentinel head. This lowers the electronic sentinel head to a lower position for maintenance, making the work more convenient and safer for maintenance personnel. Simultaneously, after the electronic sentinel head rises, rotating a second screw moves a locking plate, causing it to engage with the surface of a positioning post, thus locking the first screw and preventing the electronic sentinel head from falling after reaching a high position.
[0004] When the aforementioned sentry monitoring device is in use, it facilitates the lowering of the sentry's head for maintenance. However, when using the monitoring head of the device to monitor the environment, since the sentry monitoring device is placed outdoors for a long time, water droplets will condense on the surface of the camera in the monitoring head in the early morning when there is a large temperature difference between day and night. These water droplets will not evaporate until the sun comes out. The water droplets will block the sentry's normal monitoring and affect the clarity of the camera, thus reducing the monitoring quality. Utility Model Content

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. This utility model adds a cleaning component to the sentry monitoring device, which facilitates the use of a rotating water-absorbing strip to wipe away water droplets on the lens surface of the camera in the monitoring head. This helps to reduce the phenomenon that water droplets on the camera lens will affect the monitoring quality and accuracy due to prolonged retention of water droplets. It also helps to improve the clarity of the camera's monitoring in the early morning in environments with large temperature differences between day and night.

[0035] As attached Figure 4As shown, a lifting block 11 is threadedly connected to the external of the lead screw 10. The lifting block 11 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 8. A mounting box 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting block 11. A stepper motor 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting box 12.

The two connecting blocks 15 are slidably connected inside the mounting box 12. A connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 15. A variable speed motor 17 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 16. A mounting rod 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the variable speed motor 17. A water-absorbing strip 19 is provided on one side of the mounting rod 18. The lifting block 11 facilitates the indirect movement of the height of the water-absorbing strip 19. The external of the bidirectional screw 14 is set with threads in opposite directions.
[0036] As attached Figure 6 As shown, a protective assembly is provided on the outer surface of the upper surface of the base plate 1. The protective assembly includes multiple first housing rods 20, which are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upper surface of the base plate 1. A first adjusting rod 21 is slidably connected inside the first housing rod 20. A protective railing 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the multiple first adjusting rods 21. A sliding groove 27 is opened on one side of one of the first housing rods 20. A stud 28 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the first adjusting rods 21. A fastening nut 29 is threaded on the outside of the stud 28. The stud 28 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 27.

[0037] As attached Figure 7 As shown, a connecting frame 23 is hinged to one side of one of the first shell rods 20 and the guardrail 22.

The bolt 26 is used to fix the connecting frame 23 when closed.
[0038] Working principle: During use, the monitoring head 5, which integrates a camera and an infrared sensor, monitors the environment. The data is transmitted through the electrical control box 3. When used in environments with large temperature differences between day and night, if water droplets condense on the lens of the camera in the monitoring head 5 in the early morning, the electrical control box 3 will activate the stepper motor 9. The stepper motor 9 will then rotate the lead screw 10. As the lead screw 10 rotates, the mounting box 12 located inside the protective top 7, connected by threads, will slide the lifting block 11 down into the mounting groove 8. This movement indirectly moves the water-absorbing strips 19 on both sides of the monitoring head 5 to the sides, positioning them at the lens. Then turn on the stepper motor 13, and use its output end to drive the bidirectional screw 14 to rotate. Under the action of the opposite direction threads on the outside of the bidirectional screw 14, the connecting blocks 15 on both sides of the end of the bidirectional screw 14 are driven to move closer to each other, thereby driving the two connecting rods 16 to move closer to each other, so that the water absorption strip 19 moves to the side of the camera lens and contacts it. Then turn on the variable speed motor 17, and use its output end to drive the mounting rod 18 to rotate, thereby driving the water absorption strip 19 to rotate, which facilitates the absorption and cleaning of water droplets on the lens surface. Then, after separating the water absorption strips 19 on both sides from the lens, they can be moved into the protective top 7 by the lifting block 11.
[0039] When the sentry monitoring device is in use, the external first housing rod 20, first adjusting rod 21, second housing rod 24, and second adjusting rod 25 are used to protect the outside of the electrical control box 3. This prevents the electrical control box 3 from being directly impacted by external objects, such as walls, during movement. When the height of the protection needs to be adjusted, the fastening nut 29 is loosened, and the protective railing 22 is pulled up, causing it to slide multiple first adjusting rods 21 inside the first housing rod 20, thereby adjusting the height of the protection. After adjustment, the fastening nut 29 is tightened on the outside of the stud 28, so that one side of it abuts against one side of one of the first housing rods 20, which makes it easier to fix the first adjusting rod 21.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
