Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-vehicle-mounted charger operation and maintenance technology, specifically to a monitoring component for intelligent operation and maintenance of non-vehicle-mounted chargers based on a cloud platform. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the new energy industry has flourished, and the number of electric vehicles has increased significantly, leading to a surge in demand for charging equipment. Off-board chargers, as core equipment for electric vehicle charging, are widely used in public charging stations, bustling commercial areas, residential communities, and other locations. Currently, the operation and maintenance of off-board chargers mainly relies on manual inspections and equipment monitoring. However, these two traditional methods have many limitations. Manual inspections not only require a large investment of manpower and are costly, but also have low efficiency. Furthermore, due to the wide distribution of off-board chargers, existing monitoring methods have limitations, making it difficult to detect and repair equipment malfunctions in a timely manner. Once equipment malfunctions, downtime is prolonged, which not only seriously affects the user's charging experience but also reduces the equipment's utilization efficiency.
[0003] With the continuous advancement of technology, cloud-based intelligent operation and maintenance methods are gradually emerging as an effective solution to the aforementioned problems. To achieve real-time monitoring, intelligent diagnosis, fault prediction, and remote operation and maintenance of off-board chargers, existing cloud platforms typically install cameras on these chargers to monitor the surrounding environment in real time, providing strong support for operators in their operation and maintenance. However, in actual operation, camera lenses are inevitably subject to environmental contamination, leading to degraded image quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that cameras in the prior art are easily affected by the external environment and cannot maintain stable monitoring results, and to provide a monitoring component for intelligent operation and maintenance of a non-vehicle-mounted charger based on a cloud platform.
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a monitoring component for intelligent operation and maintenance of a non-vehicle-mounted charger based on a cloud platform, which has a camera for monitoring. The camera is housed inside a protective housing, and a monitoring through slot is provided in the protective housing corresponding to the camera lens. A transparent protective strip is movably disposed inside the protective housing and can adhere to the lens surface to protect the camera lens. The transparent protective strip has multiple protective areas and is driven by a driving component located inside the protective housing. After the transparent protective strip is driven, the multiple protective areas can adhere to the lens surface one by one.
[0006] As a further optimization of the intelligent operation and maintenance monitoring component for a cloud-based non-vehicle charger of this utility model: a cleaning component is provided in the monitoring channel, the cleaning component includes two guide blocks, both of which are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the monitoring channel, and wiping blocks are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two guide blocks, the two wiping blocks can hold a transparent protective strip to clean its surface.
[0007] As a further optimization of the intelligent operation and maintenance monitoring component for a cloud-based off-vehicle charger of this utility model: both of the two guide blocks have inclined surfaces on opposite sides, with the lower side of the inclined surface facing away from the transparent protective strip, so as to guide the discharge of dust.
[0008] As a further optimization of the intelligent operation and maintenance monitoring component for a cloud-based non-vehicle charger of this utility model: multiple insertion holes are evenly opened at the edge of the transparent protective strip beyond the monitoring through slot; the driving component includes a motor installed inside the protective shell, and a driving gear is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor. After the driving gear passes through the driving through slot opened on the protective shell, the teeth of the driving gear can be inserted into the insertion hole.
[0009] As a further optimization of the intelligent operation and maintenance monitoring component of the non-vehicle charger based on the cloud platform of this utility model: the motor is a dual-axis stepper motor, and drive gears are provided on both output shafts of the motor.
[0010] As a further optimization of the intelligent operation and maintenance monitoring component for a cloud-based off-vehicle charger of this utility model: a protective component covering the drive component is fixedly provided on the protective shell. The protective component includes a protective cover fixedly provided on the protective shell to cover the motor and drive gear. The protective cover is cylindrical and its end face is closed by a dustproof plate.
[0011] As a further optimization of the intelligent operation and maintenance monitoring component of the non-vehicle charger based on the cloud platform of this utility model: the camera is detachably connected to the protective shell through a connector. The connector includes a positioning sleeve, a support block and a top block provided inside the protective shell. The positioning sleeve is fitted onto the camera, and a limiting plate is provided on the inner wall of one end of the positioning sleeve. The top block presses the camera onto the limiting plate from the other end of the positioning sleeve so that the camera lens is stably aligned with the monitoring through slot. The support block is provided on the inner wall of the bottom surface of the protective shell to help stabilize the camera.
[0012] As a further optimization of the intelligent operation and maintenance monitoring component for a cloud-based non-vehicle charger of this utility model: one end of the transparent protective strip is fixedly provided with a docking strip with an end bulge, and the other end of the transparent protective strip is provided with a docking groove. The docking strip can pass through the docking groove to dock the two ends of the protective ring, so that the transparent protective strip is in the shape of a ring.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention features a transparent protective strip that provides comprehensive protection for a camera installed inside a protective housing with its lens precisely aligned with the monitoring channel. A driving component that closely engages with a driven slot on the transparent protective strip allows for highly precise and smooth rotation of the strip within the housing. During rotation, the transparent protective strip maintains a stable position, effectively sealing the monitoring channel and systematically passing through it. When the area protected by the transparent protective strip corresponding to the camera lens becomes contaminated due to the complex and changing external environment, it can be quickly and reliably replaced to eliminate interference from contaminants. This fundamentally ensures that the camera consistently maintains good and stable monitoring performance, guaranteeing the smooth operation of subsequent monitoring tasks and effectively improving the reliability and effectiveness of cloud-based intelligent operation and maintenance monitoring of non-vehicle-mounted chargers.

[0020] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate the content of this utility model, but the content of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1As shown, a monitoring component for the intelligent operation and maintenance of a cloud-based off-board charger 801 includes a camera 5 for video surveillance. This camera 5 has the ability to monitor the surrounding environment of the off-board charger in real time, and the video data it captures can be uploaded to the cloud platform via a video transmission protocol. Maintenance personnel can view the video stream in real time on the cloud platform, thereby ensuring the safety of the environment surrounding the charger 801. The camera 5 is connected to a connector 4, which is securely installed inside a protective housing 1. The protective housing 1 has a monitoring slot 2 at the position corresponding to the lens of the camera 5, and also features a circular track. Within the circular track, there is a rotatable transparent protective strip 7, which conforms to the lens of the camera 5 to protect it. A protective component 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the protective housing 1 opposite to the lens of the camera 5. The protective component 6 contains a driving component 8, which drives the transparent protective strip 7 to rotate within the protective housing 1, allowing the multiple protected areas included in the transparent protective strip 7 to pass through the monitoring slot 2 one by one. When camera 5 monitors the environment surrounding the non-vehicle-mounted charger, it records video or captures images through the transparent protective strip 7. The transparent protective strip 7 is made of highly transparent plastic material, such as a light-transmitting PC plastic strip, to minimize the impact on the recording or shooting effect of camera 5. If the transparent protective strip 7 is obstructed by dirt due to external factors, affecting the shooting effect of camera 5, personnel can remotely control the drive unit 8 via a cloud platform according to the corresponding transmission protocol. The specific operation method should be understood as existing technology. The drive unit 8 will rotate the transparent protective strip 7, causing the contaminated protective area to move, quickly replacing the uncontaminated protective area inside the protective shell 1 with the monitoring channel 2, thereby efficiently and stably solving the problem of decreased shooting effect of camera 5 caused by dirt contamination.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the driving component 8 includes a motor 801 fixedly mounted on the protective housing 1. The motor 801 is positioned away from the monitoring through-slot 2, and is a dual-axis stepper motor. Drive gears 802 are fixedly mounted on both output shafts of the motor 801. The drive gears 802 pass through a drive through-slot 803 in the protective housing 1 to ensure the stability of the driving transparent protective strip 7. Figure 4 As shown, the drive gear 802 engages with the driven grooves 9 evenly distributed along the edge of the transparent protective strip 7. When the motor 801 operates, it can drive the transparent protective strip 7 to rotate stably within the protective housing 1, quickly removing dirt from the transparent protective strip 7 and reducing the impact of dirt on the video recording and image capture of the camera 5.
[0023] The connector 4 includes a positioning sleeve 401, a support block 402, and a top block 403, all of which are installed inside the protective housing 1. The positioning sleeve 401 corresponds to the monitoring channel 2 and is made of elastic rubber with a stepped cross-section, forming a limiting platform. The small-diameter portion of the positioning sleeve 401 allows only the lens of the camera 5 to pass through, while the large-diameter portion covers and fits the housing of the camera 5, thus stably positioning the camera 5 and ensuring that the lens of the camera 5 is close to the transparent protective strip 7 at the monitoring channel 2. This ensures that the camera 5 can stably transmit through the transparent protective strip 7, enabling high-quality video recording or image capture in environments not near the vehicle-mounted charger. The support block 402 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective housing 1, with an arc-shaped side corresponding to the top of the protective housing 1. The support block 402 not only cooperates with the positioning sleeve 401 to provide stable support for the camera 5 but also reduces vibrations transmitted from the protective housing 1 to a certain extent, further reducing the impact of environmental factors on the video recording and image capture of the camera 5. The top block 403 is installed on the inner wall of the protective housing 1 on the side opposite to the positioning sleeve 401. It can cooperate with the limiting plate on the positioning sleeve 401 to support and position the camera 5 inside the protective housing 1, ensuring the stability of the connection between the two. The top block 403 is also made of elastic rubber, which makes it easy for staff to remove the camera 5 from the positioning sleeve 401, and then remove the camera 5 from the protective housing 1 for maintenance or replacement.
[0024] The protective component 6 includes a protective cover 601 fixedly installed on the outer side of the protective housing 1. The protective cover 601 has dustproof plates 602 for heat dissipation on both sides of the output shaft of the motor 801. This protects the motor 801, ensures its heat dissipation, and also protects the drive channel 803, preventing external impurities and dust from entering the annular track inside the protective housing 1 through the drive channel 803. This avoids external impurities contaminating the transparent protective strip 7, which would affect the speed and stability of the transparent protective strip 7 in quickly removing dirt from the camera 5.
[0025] like Figure 2As shown, a cleaning component 3 is installed on the monitoring channel 2. This component is arranged along the rotation direction of the transparent protective strip 7 and can clean the dirt on the surface of the transparent protective strip 7 to a certain extent, thereby extending the service life of the transparent protective strip 7. The cleaning component 3 includes two guide blocks 301 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective shell 1 corresponding to the monitoring channel 2. Wiping blocks 302 are fixedly installed on the opposing surfaces of the two guide blocks 301. The transparent protective strip 7 passes between the two wiping blocks 302 under pressure. When the transparent protective strip 7 rotates under the drive of the motor 801, the wiping blocks 302 clean the inner and outer surfaces of the transparent protective strip 7. The guide blocks 301 have an inclined surface 303 in the direction away from the transparent protective strip 7. The lower part of the inclined surface 303 is set away from the transparent protective strip 7. The inclined surface 303 can guide the dirt that has not passed through the wiping blocks 302, thereby improving the cleaning quality of the transparent protective strip 7 by the wiping blocks 302 to a certain extent.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a bulging docking strip 701 is fixedly installed at one end of the transparent protective strip 7, and a docking groove 702, smaller than the bulging section of the docking strip 701, is opened at the other end. The bulging section of the docking strip 701 can be folded and passed through the docking groove 702, and then restored to its original shape, so that the two ends of the transparent protective strip 7 are joined in a ring shape, so that it can stably rotate in a cycle within the protective shell 1 through the cooperation of the drive gear 802 and the driven groove 9. The design of the docking strip 701 and the docking groove 702 makes it convenient for the operator to disconnect the protective ring 703 at the monitoring through slot 2. The operator can connect the docking groove 702 of the new protective ring 703 with the docking strip 701 of the old protective ring 703, and then drive the motor 801 to run, sending the new protective ring 703 into the protective shell 1. When the docking groove 702 of the old protective ring 703 is aligned with the monitoring through slot 2 again, the docking groove 702 of the new protective ring 703 and the docking strip 701 are connected together, realizing the replacement of the protective ring 703.

It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications or variations within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the substantive content of this utility model.
