Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a tank farm monitoring device based on industrial control automation, including a monitoring console 1, a monitoring camera 3 disposed below the monitoring console 1, a protective cover 5 fixedly installed on one side above the monitoring console 1, a slot provided inside the monitoring console 1 along the lower part of the protective cover 5, a lifting plate 7 disposed inside the slot of the monitoring console 1, a fixing block 8 fixedly installed on the side of the lifting plate 7 facing the monitoring camera 3, a brush plate 9 fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block 8, and multiple sets of brush bristles 19 fixedly installed on one side of the brush plate 9.

[0024] When it is necessary to clean the lens of the monitoring camera 3, the lifting plate 7 can be driven to lift and lower, thereby driving the brush plate 9 and its bristles 19 to automatically clean the lens surface, avoiding the problem of blurred monitoring images caused by dust adhesion, and ensuring the clarity and accuracy of tank area monitoring.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 A ventilation grille 6 is fixedly installed on the upper side of one side of the protective cover 5. A shelf 10 is fixedly installed inside the protective cover 5. An air box 15 is fixedly installed above the shelf 10. A fan cylinder 16 is fixedly installed above the air box 15. A fan 17 is fixedly installed inside the fan cylinder 16. An air supply hose 14 is fixedly installed below the shelf 10 and is connected to the air box 15.

An air jet nozzle 20 is provided inside the brush plate 9 and is connected to the air cavity of the fixing block 8.

[0026] When the bristles 19 are being cleaned, the airflow generated by the blower 17 is delivered to the cavity of the fixed block 8 through the air delivery hose 14, and finally sprayed out from the air jet nozzle 20 to form an air blowing effect. This helps to blow away the dust raised during the bristle cleaning process, avoid secondary pollution, and increase practicality.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 An electric heating element 18 is fixedly installed inside the air box 15.

[0028] The electric heating tube 18 installed inside the air box 15 can heat the air drawn in by the fan 17 to form dry warm air, which solves the problem of lens condensation and frost in high humidity environment, ensures that the monitoring screen is not affected by water mist, and further guarantees the stability of tank area monitoring.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 An electric cylinder 11 is fixedly installed above the shelf 10. The push rod end of the electric cylinder 11 slides through the shelf 10 and is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 7. A side plate 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the lifting plate 7. A guide column 13 is fixedly installed above the side plate 12. The upper end of the guide column 13 slides through the shelf 10.

[0030] The electric cylinder 11 serves as the power source for the lifting plate 7, enabling it to move up and down. The design of the guide column 13 further enhances the stability of the lifting process, prevents the brush plate 9 from tilting, and increases its practicality.

[0031] Please see Figure 1An equipment box 4 is fixedly installed on top of the monitoring station 1. The equipment box 4 contains a processor, which is electrically connected to the monitoring camera 3, the fan 17, the electric heating tube 18, and the electric cylinder 11. The processor is electrically connected to the monitoring terminal, which is the core control unit of the entire tank area monitoring device. It is responsible for receiving, processing, and analyzing the image data collected from the monitoring camera 3, and sending control commands to the actuators such as the fan 17, the electric heating tube 18, and the electric cylinder 11 according to the preset control strategy, thereby realizing the industrial control automation of tank area monitoring. A mounting backplate 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the monitoring station 1, and the mounting backplate 2 has mounting holes inside.

[0032] The mounting backplate 2 with mounting holes facilitates the installation of monitoring devices in the tank area, increasing its practicality.

[0033] Working principle: When the lens surface of the monitoring camera 3 needs cleaning, the electric cylinder 11 drives the lifting plate 7 to move up and down. Under the guidance of the guide column 13, the lifting plate 7 drives the fixed block 8, brush plate 9 and its multiple sets of bristles 19 to move up and down. The bristles 19 automatically clean the lens surface. During the cleaning process of the bristles 19, the fan 17 operates to generate airflow. The airflow passes through the air box 15, and then the airflow is delivered to the cavity of the fixed block 8 through the air supply hose 14. Finally, it is sprayed out from the air jet slot 20 inside the brush plate 9 to form an air blowing effect, which helps to blow away the dust raised during the brush cleaning process, avoid secondary pollution, and improve the clarity of tank area monitoring.
