Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle video detection technology, and in particular relates to a vehicle video detection device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern transportation, the number of vehicles on urban roads has increased dramatically, and traffic conditions have become increasingly complex. In this context, efficient and accurate vehicle video detection devices play an indispensable and crucial role in the construction of intelligent transportation systems and the smooth operation of traffic management.

[0003] Based on the technical effects of existing technologies and solutions, there are still areas that need optimization: the detection lenses of existing equipment (such as cameras) lack effective protection and self-cleaning mechanisms, and are easily covered by dust, rain, insects, etc., resulting in blurry video capture and reduced detection accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a vehicle video detection device that solves the problem that the detection lenses (such as cameras) of existing equipment lack effective protection and self-cleaning mechanisms, making them easily covered by dust, rain, insects, etc., resulting in blurry video capture and reduced detection accuracy.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: a vehicle video detection device, comprising,

[0006] The testing mechanism includes a fixed rod, a testing element is provided on the front side of the fixed rod, and a solar panel is provided on the top of the fixed rod;

[0007] The protective mechanism includes a protective shell fitted over the outside of the test piece, a connecting plate on the top of the protective shell, and a bidirectional push rod for transmission on the top of the connecting plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a support rod is provided at the top of the fixed rod, and a support block is provided on the outer side of the support rod. The inner wall of the support block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional push rod. By adding a support rod at the top of the fixed rod and providing a support block on the outer side and fixing it to the bidirectional push rod, the running stability of the bidirectional push rod is enhanced, ensuring that the push rod is subjected to uniform force during transmission, avoiding mechanical loss caused by shaking, and improving the overall structural strength.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the other output end of the bidirectional push rod is connected to a connecting block, and a connecting column is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block. The top of the connecting column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the solar panel. The bidirectional push rod is fixed to the bottom of the solar panel through the connecting block and the connecting column, thereby realizing the linkage between the action of the bidirectional push rod and the solar panel. When extended, it can drive the protective shell to move, so that the protective shell is cleaned and wiped by the cleaning ring. When retracted, the solar panel is subjected to spring force through mechanical connection, thereby realizing vibration dust removal.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the top of the support rod is provided with an extrusion groove, and the inner wall of the extrusion groove is provided with a spring. The top of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column, and the outer side of the connecting column is slidably connected to the inner side of the extrusion groove. By providing a spring in the extrusion groove at the top of the support rod, fixing the bottom of the connecting column to the spring, and slidably connecting the outer side of the connecting column to the extrusion groove, when the bidirectional push rod retracts, the elastic force of the spring and the contact between the connecting column and the fixed rod cause the solar panel to vibrate, causing the surface dust to fall off due to the vibration, eliminating the need for manual cleaning, maintaining the light transmittance of the solar panel, and improving the power generation efficiency.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a cleaning ring is provided on the outer side of the protective shell, and the inner side of the cleaning ring contacts the inner side of the protective shell. An annular groove is formed on the outer side of the cleaning ring, and an extension groove is formed on the inner wall of the annular groove. The cleaning ring is connected to the outer side of the protective shell, and the annular groove and the extension groove provide a sliding track for the cleaning ring. When the bidirectional push rod extends, it drives the protective shell to move, causing the cleaning ring to slide along the annular groove to wipe the surface of the protective shell (such as the lens area of ​​the test piece) to remove dust, rainwater residue, etc., ensuring clear vision of the test piece and improving test accuracy. The extension groove is used to guide the movement trajectory of the cleaning ring and avoid jamming.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two through slots are provided on the outer side of each cleaning ring. The two through slots are used for replacing the cleaning ring. The two through slots on the outer side of the cleaning ring are used for quick replacement of the cleaning ring. When the cleaning ring is worn or contaminated after a period of use, the old ring can be easily disassembled and a new ring can be installed through the through slots without disassembling the entire protective mechanism, thereby reducing maintenance costs and improving the maintainability of the equipment.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, sliding blocks are slidably connected to the surfaces of both the annular groove and the extension groove. A positioning rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of each sliding block, and a positioning ring is fixedly connected to the opposite side of each positioning rod. The inner side of the positioning ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed rod. The positioning rod and the positioning ring are connected by sliding blocks in the annular groove and the extension groove, and the positioning ring is fixed to the fixed rod. The positioning rod and the positioning ring fix the position of the cleaning ring, preventing it from shifting or falling off during movement, and ensuring the reliability and stability of the cleaning action.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a cleaning ring on the outside of the protective shell and a bidirectional push rod in linkage. When extended, the ring actively wipes the surface of the test piece to remove dust, rainwater, and other stains, avoiding blurry video capture caused by lens contamination and ensuring clear and accurate vehicle test data over a long period. When the bidirectional push rod retracts, it drives the solar panel to vibrate and remove dust, which not only solves the problem of power generation efficiency degradation caused by dust accumulation, but also dynamically optimizes the light-receiving surface, achieving self-cleaning and maximizing light energy utilization, reducing dependence on external power sources. The self-cleaning of the protective shell and solar panel of the test piece can be completed without manual intervention, reducing the risks of high-altitude operations and manual maintenance costs, and meeting the needs of long-term outdoor operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle video detection device, comprising,

[0024] The testing mechanism 100 includes a fixed rod 101, a testing element 102 is provided on the front side of the fixed rod 101, and a solar panel 103 is provided on the top of the fixed rod 101.

[0025] The protective mechanism 200 includes a protective shell 201 sleeved on the outside of the detection piece 102, a connecting plate 202 provided on the top of the protective shell 201, and a bidirectional push rod 203 for transmission provided on the top of the connecting plate 202.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 , 2 4. A support rod 301 is provided at the top of the fixed rod 101, and a support block 302 is provided on the outside of the support rod 301. The inner wall of the support block 302 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional push rod 203.

[0027] The above solution is adopted: by adding a support rod 301 to the top of the fixed rod 101, and setting a support block 302 on the outside and fixing it to the bidirectional push rod 203, the running stability of the bidirectional push rod 203 is enhanced, ensuring that the push rod is subjected to uniform force during transmission, avoiding mechanical wear caused by shaking, and improving the overall structural strength.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 , 4 The other output end of the bidirectional push rod 203 is connected to a connecting block 303. A connecting column 304 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 303. The top of the connecting column 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the solar panel 103.

[0029] The above scheme is adopted: the bidirectional push rod 203 is fixed to the bottom of the solar panel 103 through the connecting block 303 and the connecting column 304, so as to realize the linkage between the action of the bidirectional push rod 203 and the solar panel 103; when extended: it can drive the protective shell 201 to move, so that the protective shell 201 is cleaned and wiped by the cleaning ring 307; when retracted: through mechanical connection, the solar panel 103 is subjected to the force of the spring 306 to achieve vibration dust removal.

[0030] refer to Figure 4 The top of the support rod 301 is provided with an extrusion groove 305, and the inner wall of the extrusion groove 305 is provided with a spring 306. The top of the spring 306 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column 304, and the outer side of the connecting column 304 is slidably connected to the inner side of the extrusion groove 305.

[0031] The above solution involves installing a spring 306 inside the extrusion groove 305 at the top of the support rod 301, fixing the bottom of the connecting column 304 to the spring 306, and slidingly connecting the outer side of the connecting column 304 to the extrusion groove 305. When the bidirectional push rod 203 retracts, the elastic force of the spring 306 and the contact between the connecting column 304 and the fixed rod 101 cause the solar panel 103 to vibrate, causing surface dust to fall off due to the vibration. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning, maintains the light transmittance of the solar panel 103, and improves power generation efficiency.

[0032] refer to Figures 1-3 A cleaning ring 307 is provided on the outer side of the protective shell 201. The inner side of the cleaning ring 307 is in contact with the inner side of the protective shell 201. An annular groove 308 is provided on the outer side of the cleaning ring 307, and an extension groove 309 is provided on the inner wall of the annular groove 308.

[0033] The above solution involves contacting the cleaning ring 307 on the outside of the protective shell 201. The annular groove 308 and the extension groove 309 provide a sliding track for the cleaning ring 307. When the bidirectional push rod 203 extends, it moves the protective shell 201, causing the cleaning ring 307 to slide along the annular groove 308 to wipe the surface of the protective shell 201 (such as the lens area of ​​the test piece 102), removing dust, rainwater residue, etc., ensuring a clear view of the test piece 102 and improving the test accuracy. The extension groove 309 is used to guide the movement trajectory of the cleaning ring 307 and prevent jamming.

[0034] refer to Figures 1-3 Two through grooves 310 are provided on the outer side of the cleaning ring 307, and the two through grooves 310 are used for replacing the cleaning ring 307.

[0035] The above solution involves creating two through slots 310 on the outer side of the cleaning ring 307 for quick replacement. When the cleaning ring 307 wears out or becomes contaminated after a period of use, the old ring can be easily removed and a new ring installed through the through slots 310, without having to disassemble the entire protective mechanism 200, thus reducing maintenance costs and improving equipment maintainability.

[0036] refer to Figures 1-3 The surfaces of the annular groove 308 and the extension groove 309 are slidably connected with sliding blocks 311. The outer side of each sliding block 311 is fixedly connected with a positioning rod 312. The opposite side of each positioning rod 312 is fixedly connected with a positioning ring 313. The inner side of the positioning ring 313 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing rod 101.

[0037] The above solution is adopted: the positioning rod 312 and the positioning ring 313 are connected by the sliding block 311 in the annular groove 308 and the extension groove 309, and the positioning ring 313 is fixed to the fixing rod 101; the positioning rod 312 and the positioning ring 313 fix the position of the cleaning ring 307 to prevent it from shifting or falling off during movement, and ensure the reliability and stability of the cleaning action.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model:

[0039] When using this detection device;

[0040] The bidirectional push rod 203 is in a naturally extended or preset position. The solar panel 103 is slidably connected to the compression groove 305 at the top of the support rod 301 through the connecting column 304. The spring 306 is in an initial equilibrium state. The protective shell 201 is sleeved on the outside of the detection piece 102. The cleaning ring 307 is attached to the surface of the protective shell 201. The positioning rod 312 forms a stable sliding connection structure with the annular groove 308 and the extension groove 309 through the sliding block 311.

[0041] The detection element 102 (such as a camera) on the front side of the fixed rod 101 collects vehicle video data in real time. The top solar panel 103 absorbs light energy and converts it into electrical energy to power the detection element 102 and the bidirectional push rod 203 and other components, so as to realize the self-sustaining operation of the device. At this time, if the bidirectional push rod 203 is in the extended state, it pushes the protective shell 201 through the connecting plate 202 to maintain the normal working position, so that the lens area of ​​the detection element 102 can clearly collect images through the light-transmitting part of the protective shell 201.

[0042] When it is necessary to clean the surface of the protective shell 201 (such as when the clarity of the lens area of ​​the test piece 102 is affected by dust or rain), the bidirectional push rod 203 begins to extend. The push rod is fixed to the outside of the support rod 301 by the support block 302. Its output end pushes the connecting plate 202 to move the protective shell 201 outward or upward, so that the outer side of the protective shell 201 moves along the inner side of the cleaning ring 307 to wipe away surface stains, ensure the visibility of the test piece 102, and guarantee the cleaning effect.

[0043] After the bidirectional push rod 203 completes the cleaning action and retracts, its output end pulls the connecting block 303 and the connecting column 304 to move towards the support rod 301. At this time, the bottom of the connecting column 304 presses the spring 306 in the top pressing groove 305 of the support rod 301. When the connecting column 304 contacts the fixed rod 101, it causes the solar panel 103 to vibrate. During the vibration, dust, fallen leaves and other debris on the surface of the solar panel 103 are removed due to inertia, achieving self-cleaning and avoiding dust accumulation that affects power generation efficiency.

[0044] When the cleaning ring 307 is worn or contaminated due to long-term use, the old ring can be directly removed through the through groove 310 on its outer side (without disassembling the protective shell 201). By rotating the cleaning ring 307, the through groove 310 comes into contact with the sliding block 311, thereby removing the cleaning ring 307. When a new cleaning ring 307 needs to be installed, the direction can be adjusted; the through groove 310 contacts the sliding block 311 – rotating the cleaning ring 307.

[0045] In summary: The existing vehicle video detection device lacks effective protection and self-cleaning mechanisms for its detection lenses (such as cameras), making them easily covered by dust, rain, insects, etc., resulting in blurry video capture and reduced detection accuracy; the protective shell is made of transparent material.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
