[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a fixing device with a viewing window. The fixing device with a viewing window includes a housing 1 and a connecting component 3. The housing 1 has an installation space for accommodating an image capturing device. A transparent viewing window 2 is provided on the housing 1, and the transparent viewing window 2 is positioned facing the camera of the image capturing device. A connecting shaft 11 is provided on the housing 1. One end of the connecting component 3 is rotatably engaged with the connecting shaft 11, and the other end of the connecting component 3 is detachably connected to an accessory. In this embodiment, since the camera of the image capturing device is provided on the housing 1 with a transparent window 2, the image capturing device can take pictures of the environment outside the housing 1 through the transparent window 2 to obtain the material conveying status and the operation status of the conveyor belt in real time. The housing 1 can protect the internal image capturing device and prevent dust or foreign objects in the external environment from damaging the image capturing device. Since the housing 1 is provided with a connecting shaft 11 and the connecting component 3 is rotatably engaged with the connecting shaft 11, the housing 1 can rotate relative to the connecting component 3. The shooting angle of the image capturing device in the housing 1 can be adjusted without removing the connecting component 3 from the accessory, which greatly improves the convenience of operation. The fixing device with the window has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has strong practicality.

[0035] The specific shape of the housing 1 can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the housing 1 is a rounded cuboid structure. The side of the housing 1 facing the conveyor belt or other object to be observed is enclosed with a transparent window 2 so that the internal image capturing device can take pictures. Specifically, the housing 1 is composed of two parts that are snapped together. After the two parts are separated, the image capturing device can be put into the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a fixing seat inside to fix the image capturing device in the installation space to ensure stability during shooting.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the connecting assembly 3 includes a first clamping arm 31, a second clamping arm 32, and a pusher 33. The first clamping arm 31 and the second clamping arm 32 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. The pusher 33 is threaded to the second clamping arm 32. The first clamping arm 31 and the pusher 33 are used to abut against the opposite sides of the attachment, respectively. Specifically, the first clamping arm 31 and the second clamping arm 32 are respectively connected to the connecting shaft 11 and the first clamping arm 31 and the second clamping arm 32 are arranged opposite to each other. When fixing the fixing device with the viewing window to the attachment, the operator first moves the fixing device with the viewing window so that the attachment is located between the first clamping arm 31 and the second clamping arm 32, and the first clamping arm 31 abuts against one side of the attachment. Then the operator screws the pusher 33 on the second clamping arm 32 until the end of the pusher 33 abuts against the other side of the attachment, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the connecting assembly 3 and the attachment. The detachable connection with the attachment can be achieved by screwing on the push-in part 33. The structure is simple and easy to operate. The staff can adjust the position of the fixed device with the viewing window at any time according to the shooting needs, which greatly enhances the flexibility of use.

[0037] To prevent damage to the attachment when the connecting component 3 clamps it, a flexible pad is provided on the end face of the pusher 33 near the attachment. Specifically, the end of the pusher 33 near the attachment is provided with a cylindrical abutment, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the rod of the pusher 33, thereby increasing the contact area with the attachment and improving the abutment stability. The flexible pad is provided on the lower joint. The flexible pad can be selected according to the actual situation, such as rubber, sponge, and flexible plastic, etc., and is not limited here. It is understood that the flexible pad can also increase the friction between the pusher 33 and the attachment, so as to enhance the stability and reliability of the abutment between the two.

[0038] A flexible pad is provided on the end face of the first clamping arm 31 near the attachment. The flexible pad on the first clamping arm 31 is the same as the flexible pad on the pusher 33. Both can prevent damage to the attachment and enhance the stability and reliability of the contact between the first clamping arm 31 and the attachment.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple connecting components 3 are provided, which can further enhance the connection strength between the housing 1 and the accessory; in this embodiment, a connecting shaft 11 is fixedly provided on the side of the housing 1 away from the transparent window 2, and two connecting components 3 are provided, with the two connecting components 3 respectively rotatably connected to the two ends of the connecting shaft 11.

[0040] To facilitate staff operation and improve user experience, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pusher 33 is provided with a gripping part 331 for twisting; specifically, the shape and structure of the gripping part 331 can be designed according to actual needs, such as circular, rectangular or annular, as long as it is easy for a person to grip and rotate; the gripping part 331 is provided at the end of the pusher 33 away from the attachment.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting assembly 3 also includes a main connecting plate 34, a first clamping arm 31 and a second clamping arm 32 are fixedly disposed on the main connecting plate 34, and the main connecting plate 34 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 11; specifically, the first clamping arm 31, the second clamping arm 32 and the main connecting plate 34 are integrally formed, and the main connecting plate 34 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 11.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the main connector plate 34 is provided with a first clamping part 341 and a second clamping part 342. The first clamping part 341 and the second clamping part 342 respectively abut against opposite sides of the connecting shaft 11. The ends of the first clamping part 341 and the second clamping part 342 away from the main connector plate 34 are bolted together. Specifically, the first clamping part 341 and the second clamping part 342 are clamped onto the connecting shaft 11 from both sides. Since the ends of the first clamping part 341 and the second clamping part 342 away from the main connector plate 34 are bolted together, the bolts can clamp the first clamping part 341 and the second clamping part 342 onto the connecting shaft 11, thereby achieving fixation. When it is necessary to rotate the housing 1 to adjust the shooting angle of the image capturing device, the operator first tightens the bolts to loosen the connection between the first clamping part 341 and the second clamping part 342 and the connecting shaft 11, and then rotates the housing 1 to adjust the shooting angle of the image capturing device. In addition, staff can adjust the distance between the two connecting components 3 by turning the bolts to accommodate attachments of different sizes and shapes.

[0043] To further improve the clamping stability between the first clamping part 341 and the second clamping part 342 and the connecting shaft 11, arc-shaped clamping plates are provided on both the first clamping part 341 and the second clamping part 342. The two arc-shaped clamping plates are arranged opposite each other and form a circular space in the middle, so as to adapt to the shape of the connecting shaft 11 and thus improve the stability of the first clamping part 341 and the second clamping part 342 in clamping the connecting shaft 11.

[0044] A sealing ring is sandwiched between the housing 1 and the transparent window 2. The sealing ring improves the sealing performance between the housing 1 and the transparent window 2, effectively preventing dust, moisture, and other external environmental factors from entering the installation space and affecting the performance of the image acquisition device. Specifically, the housing 1 is a rounded cuboid structure. The side of the housing 1 facing the conveyor belt or other object to be observed is enclosed by the transparent window 2, and a sealing ring is provided at the joint between the transparent window 2 and the housing 1.

[0045] Furthermore, a self-cleaning coating is applied to the transparent window 2 to remove dirt. This coating can decompose contaminants such as grease and dust adhering to the transparent window 2, thus maintaining its light transmittance. Specifically, the self-cleaning coating is made of photocatalytically active nanomaterials, with its main component being photocatalytic titanium dioxide. Under light conditions, this self-cleaning coating utilizes the photocatalytic principle to decompose organic matter adhering to the surface of the transparent window 2, thereby achieving a self-cleaning effect. The self-cleaning coating also has hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, allowing liquid contaminants to form droplets and slide off, thus preventing stains from forming on the surface of the transparent window 2 and affecting light transmittance.

[0046] This embodiment also provides a detection device for a belt conveyor. The detection device for a belt conveyor includes an image capturing device and the aforementioned fixing device with a viewing window. The image capturing device is fixed in the installation space of the fixing device with a viewing window and is used to capture images of the material on the belt conveyor.

[0047] In this embodiment, by adjusting the installation position and shooting angle of the image capturing device in the housing 1 using the connecting component 3, the material on the belt conveyor can be captured from different angles, thereby obtaining the transportation status of the material on the belt conveyor. Simultaneously, the housing 1 protects the internal image capturing device from external environmental pollution and interference, and the image capturing device can be quickly and easily connected to accessories via the connecting component 3, greatly improving the practicality of the detection equipment applied to the belt conveyor. Specifically, the image capturing device is a camera commonly used in the field, capable of transmitting the captured images to an external control center in real time. Staff can view the material transportation status on the belt conveyor by viewing the real-time captured images. The control center can also have a built-in monitoring program that performs image analysis on the images transmitted by the image capturing device to automatically monitor the material transportation status. When material transportation violates operating procedures, the control center will issue an alarm to prompt staff to take action.

Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
