[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] This invention employs a cleaning assembly. The storage tank contains a dedicated lens cleaning fluid with excellent decontamination capabilities, capable of quickly dissolving stubborn contaminants such as oil and coal dust, while causing no damage to the lens coating. When the cleaning assembly is activated, the gas in the air pump tank is first ejected to initially remove impurities and dust from the lens. Then, the cleaning fluid is drawn from the storage tank and pressurized, and evenly sprayed onto the lens surface through a telescopic nozzle. The nozzle's spray angle and flow rate are carefully designed and can be extended to ensure that the cleaning fluid evenly covers the lens without causing excessive liquid residue.
[0014] This invention employs a cleaning assembly. A motor drives an electric rod and a rotating shaft, causing the cleaning brush to move in a circular motion to clean the lens. The brush bristles, made of soft and highly absorbent nanofiber material, are extremely fine in diameter, allowing them to penetrate deep into the tiny crevices and textures of the lens surface to effectively absorb dust particles. The bristles are designed in an arc shape to perfectly conform to the curved contours of the lens, ensuring thorough cleaning. The bristles are located inside an electric window, extending out when cleaning is needed and remaining protected inside the window when not in use, thus preventing damage to the bristles.
[0015] This invention employs a microprocessor, with the microprocessor and the processor system inside the cleaning kit as the core, connecting sensors and actuators. The sensors include dust sensors, humidity sensors, etc., used to monitor the concentration of pollutants and humidity in the environment around the lens in real time. Users can set parameters such as cleaning cycle, cleaning mode, and cleaning liquid spray volume through the control panel. The microprocessor automatically determines whether to start the cleaning program based on sensor data and user settings, and controls the drive mechanism, automatic spray system, etc. to work together to complete the entire cleaning process.

The cleaning assembly 5 operates during startup. First, gas from the air pump tank 502 is ejected to initially remove impurities and dust from the lens. Then, cleaning fluid is drawn from the reservoir 503 and pressurized, then evenly sprayed onto the lens surface through the telescopic nozzle 507. The nozzle's spray angle and flow rate are carefully designed and extendable to ensure even coverage of the lens with minimal liquid residue. Cleaning components 6 are located on both sides of the cleaning assembly 5. Each cleaning component 6 includes a motor 601, an electric rod 602 at the top of the motor 601, a rotating shaft 603 on one side of the top of the electric rod 602, and a placement groove 604 at the other end of the rotating shaft 603. The placement groove 604 has openings 605 on both sides, and a cleaning... The cleaning brush 606 has a rotating shaft 603 located inside the slots 605 on both sides of the placement slot 604. An electric window 6061 is located inside the cleaning brush 606, and bristles 6062 are located inside the electric window 6061.

After the cleaning arm completes a cleaning cycle, it automatically enters the cleaning chamber. Inside the chamber, a high-pressure air pump and an ultrasonic cleaning device work together. The high-pressure air pump first blows away large impurities on the surface of the brush head. Then, the ultrasonic cleaning device uses high-frequency vibration to shake off the residual dirt from the brush head fibers. Finally, the dirt is discharged through vacuum suction, ensuring that the brush head is always clean and ready for the next cleaning task.
[0029] In summary:
[0030] 1. The cleaning component 5 is used to store special lens cleaning fluid in the liquid storage tank 503. It has strong cleaning power and does not damage the lens coating. Before cleaning, the air pump tank 502 first sprays air to remove impurities and dust from the lens. Then the cleaning fluid is extracted and pressurized. The carefully designed telescopic nozzle 507 sprays it evenly on the lens surface. The spray angle and flow rate are optimized to achieve full coverage and avoid liquid residue.
[0031] 2. The cleaning component 6 is used to enable the motor 601 to drive the electric rod 602 and the rotating shaft 603, so that the cleaning brush 606 moves in a circular motion to clean the lens. The brush bristles 6062 are made of soft and highly absorbent nanofibers with a fine diameter and are arc-shaped to fit the curved surface of the lens, which can reach deep into tiny gaps for cleaning. When not in use, the brush bristles 6062 are protected inside the electric window 6061 to prevent damage.
[0032] 3. The microprocessor 7 is used to realize the core of the microprocessor 7 and the processor system in the cleaning kit 4, which connects the dust, humidity and other sensors 701 to the actuator. The sensor 701 monitors the environment around the lens in real time. The user sets the cleaning parameters through the control panel. The microprocessor 7 automatically judges and controls the drive mechanism, automatic spray system and other functions to work together to complete the cleaning process based on the data of the sensor 701 and the user settings.
