[0030] 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.

[0031] This embodiment provides a monitoring device, which includes, for example: Figures 1 to 10The image shows a waterproof camera for a pumping station. The waterproof camera includes a camera body 1 and a mounting post 4. A waterproof cover 2 is provided on the outside of the camera body 1. The waterproof cover 2 has a combined state that wraps the camera body 1 and a separated state that exposes the camera body 1. The waterproof cover 2 is provided with a disassembly and assembly component 3 that allows the waterproof cover 2 to maintain the combined state or the separated state. The waterproof cover 2 and the mounting post 4 form a detachable connection.

[0032] In some embodiments, the waterproof cover 2 includes a first cover 21 and a second cover 22 for accommodating the camera body 1. The first cover 21 and the second cover 22 are detachably connected. The detachable connection between the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 allows the waterproof cover 2 to be in a combined or separate state, thereby facilitating the inspection or protection of the camera body 1.

[0033] In some embodiments: the disassembly assembly 3 includes a connecting rod 31 disposed on a first cover 21, a connecting groove 32 for the connecting rod 31 to enter on a second cover 22, a movable groove 37 disposed in the second cover 22, the movable groove 37 being connected to the connecting groove 32, the connecting rod 31 being slidably connected to the movable groove 37, the movable groove 37 being an arc-shaped groove, the connecting rod 31 including a support portion 311 cooperating with the connecting groove 32 and an anti-detachment portion 312 cooperating with the movable groove 37, when the anti-detachment portion 312 on the connecting rod 31 is located inside the movable groove 37, it will be blocked by the movable groove 37 to prevent the connecting rod 31 from detaching from the movable groove 37;

[0034] To change the waterproof cover 2 from the combined state to the separate state, rotate the first cover 21 in the opposite direction so that the connecting rod 31 moves from the movable groove 37 into the connecting groove 32. This releases the restriction of the movable groove 37 on the anti-detachment part 312, so that the first cover 21 can be removed and the camera body 1 inside the first cover 21 can be exposed.

[0035] To change the waterproof cover 2 from a split state to a combined state, align the connecting rod 31 with the exposed end of the movable groove 37. After alignment, push the first cover 21 toward the second cover 22, causing the anti-detachment part 312 of the connecting rod 31 to enter the movable groove 37. Then, rotate the first cover 21 clockwise. When the first cover 21 rotates clockwise, the anti-detachment part 312 will enter the movable groove 37, while the support part 311 will be located in the connecting groove 32, allowing the connecting rod 31 to move normally. When the anti-detachment part 312 has completely moved into the movable groove 37, the anti-detachment part 312 cannot detach from the movable groove 37, thereby fixing the first cover 21 and achieving the purpose of changing the waterproof cover 2 from a split state to a combined state.

[0036] In some embodiments: a reset cavity 33 is provided inside the second cover 22, and a limiting member 34 is provided in the reset cavity 33. A blind hole 35 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting rod 31 to cooperate with the limiting member 34. The limiting member 34 has a locked position and an unlocked position. When the limiting member 34 is in the locked position, the connecting rod 31 cannot move. When the limiting member 34 is in the unlocked position, the connecting rod 31 can move relative to the connecting groove 32. An elastic member 36 is provided in the reset cavity 33 to keep the limiting member 34 in the locked position. One end of the limiting member 34 away from the connecting rod 31 is located on the outside of the second cover 22. A gripping part 341 is provided on the end of the limiting member 34 away from the connecting rod 31. A baffle 342 is provided on the outside of the limiting member 34. The elastic member 36 abuts against the baffle 342. The elastic member 36 is a spring. The cooperation between the elastic member 36 and the baffle 342 can keep the limiting member 34 locked to the connecting rod 31, thereby preventing the first cover 21 from rotating.

[0037] During the process of connecting rod 31 entering movable groove 37, limiting member 34 will be squeezed to unlock position by connecting rod 31. At this time, connecting rod 31 can be fully inserted into movable groove 37. When connecting rod 31 is fully inserted, the position of blind hole 35 will correspond to limiting member 34. At this time, elastic member 36 will return limiting member 34 to locked position, allowing limiting member 34 to enter blind hole 35, thereby locking connecting rod 31.

[0038] To unlock the connecting rod 31, the gripping part 341 can be pulled to move the limiting member 34 away from the connecting rod 31, moving the limiting member 34 from the locked position to the unlocked position. This allows the connecting rod 31 to move in the movable groove 37, thereby disassembling the first cover 21. After releasing the gripping part 341, the elastic member 36 will begin to recover and push the baffle 342, causing the baffle 342 to drive the limiting member 34 from the unlocked position back to the locked position, making it convenient for the limiting member 34 to lock the connecting rod 31 again.

[0039] In some embodiments: In order to ensure the sealing of the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 after they are combined, a connecting step 211 that cooperates with the second cover 22 is provided on the first cover 21, and a sealing ring 212 for ensuring sealing is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting step 211. When the waterproof cover 2 is in the combined state, the connecting step 211 will enter the second cover 22, and the sealing ring 212 will be tightly attached to the outer wall of the second cover 22. This can prevent moisture from entering the waterproof cover 2 from the gap between the first cover 21 and the second cover 22, thus ensuring that the working environment of the camera body 1 is dry.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
