Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quick-release devices, and in particular to a cleaning component and a camera device. Background Technology

[0002] In environments such as mines, cement plants, and flour mills, where air quality is poor and dust levels are high, cameras are typically equipped with cleaning kits to remove dirt from the lenses. These cleaning kits primarily rely on brushes to scrape the lenses during cleaning. In these environments, the brushes are used frequently, making them prone to aging and unevenness, leading to a rapid decline in cleaning effectiveness and frequent brush replacements. Furthermore, existing cleaning kits often involve the use of numerous fasteners, such as screws, during brush assembly and disassembly, making each assembly and disassembly time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cleaning component and camera device to address the problem of inconvenient brush replacement.

[0004] A cleaning assembly includes a cleaning strip and a cleaning bracket;

[0005] The cleaning strip includes an elastic part, and a first groove is provided on the outer wall of the elastic part, the first groove extending along a first direction;

[0006] The cleaning bracket includes a mounting plate, a first limiting plate, a second limiting plate, a first guide member, and a first limiting end cap. The mounting plate extends along a first direction. The first limiting plate and the second limiting plate are respectively disposed on the two side edges of the mounting plate to form a receiving groove. The first guide member is disposed on the side of the first limiting plate near the second limiting plate. The first limiting end cap is disposed on the mounting plate and located at the end of the receiving groove. The first guide member is spaced apart from the first limiting end cap in the first direction.

[0007] The elastic portion is at least partially located within the receiving groove to allow the first limiting end cap to limit the elastic portion along a first direction, and the first guide is located within the first slide groove.

[0008] In one embodiment, the cleaning bracket further includes a second guide member, which is disposed on the side of the second limiting plate close to the first limiting plate, and the second guide member is spaced apart from the first limiting end cap in a first direction;

[0009] The outer wall of the elastic part is also provided with a second sliding groove, which extends along the first direction, and the second guide is located in the second sliding groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first guide is clearance-fitted with the sidewall of the first groove in a direction perpendicular to the mounting plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, the cleaning bracket further includes a second limiting end cap disposed on the mounting plate. The second limiting end cap is spaced apart from the first guide member in a first direction, and the first limiting end cap and the second limiting end cap are respectively located at both ends of the receiving groove.

[0012] In one embodiment, the cleaning strip further includes a cleaning portion disposed on the elastic portion and located outside the receiving groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the cleaning part is a brush or a scraper.

[0014] In one embodiment, the elastic portion is clamped between the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate.

[0015] In one embodiment, a portion of the projection of the elastic end face in a first direction is located outside the first limiting end cap.

[0016] In one embodiment, the cleaning assembly further includes a driver that drives the cleaning bracket.

[0017] A camera device includes a camera and the cleaning component, the cleaning component being mounted on the camera.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] When the cleaning strip is assembled on the cleaning bracket, the first limiting end cap, the first limiting plate, the second limiting plate and the first guide member work together to limit the elastic part, preventing the elastic part from easily detaching from the receiving groove, and ensuring the normal operation of the cleaning strip.

[0020] When it is necessary to remove the cleaning strip from the cleaning bracket, the end of the elastic part can be pulled to deform the end of the elastic part away from the mounting plate until the projection of the end face of the elastic part in the first direction avoids the first limiting end cap. Then, the end of the elastic part can be pulled along the first direction to disengage the entire elastic part from the receiving groove, thus completing the removal of the cleaning strip.

[0021] When the cleaning strip needs to be assembled onto the cleaning bracket, by utilizing the gap between the first guide member and the first limiting end cap in the first direction, a portion of the end of the elastic part can be first inserted into the receiving groove, while the edge of the first limiting end cap abuts against the side edge of the elastic part. Then, the edge of the first guide member enters the end of the first sliding groove, and then the elastic part is continuously pushed. Based on the guiding effect of the first guide member and the deformation of the elastic part, the elastic part will continuously enter the receiving groove, and finally the assembly of the cleaning strip is completed.

[0022] As can be seen from the above process, the disassembly and assembly of the cleaning strip on the cleaning bracket of this utility model does not involve the use of fasteners, so the disassembly and assembly speed is faster and the disassembly and assembly process is more convenient.

[0044] Example 1:

[0045] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning component, including a cleaning strip 1, a cleaning bracket 2, and a driver 3. The driver 3 drives the cleaning bracket 2, the cleaning strip 1 is mounted on the cleaning bracket 2, and the driver 3 drives the cleaning strip 1 to move through the cleaning bracket 2, thereby realizing the cleaning operation.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the cleaning strip 1 includes an elastic part 11 and a cleaning part 12, wherein the elastic part 11 is used to connect the cleaning bracket 2, and the cleaning part 12 is disposed on the elastic part 11 for scraping cleaning.

[0047] For example, in this embodiment, the elastic part 11 is elongated and extends in the first direction. The elastic part 11 is made of rubber, thus possessing a certain degree of deformation capability. In this embodiment, the cleaning part 12 is specifically a scraper 122, which is also made of rubber and extends along the first direction. The elastic part 11 and the scraper 122 are an integral structure. To improve the cleaning effect, the number of scrapers 122 can be set to multiple and spaced apart on the elastic part 11.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, a first groove 111 is provided on the outer wall of the elastic part 11, and the first groove 111 extends along a first direction. Preferably, a second groove 112 may also be provided on the outer wall of the elastic part 11, and the second groove 112 also extends along the first direction.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning bracket 2 includes a mounting plate 21, a first limiting plate 22, a second limiting plate 23, a first guide member 24, and a first limiting end cap 25.

[0050] The mounting plate 21 is elongated, extending in the same first direction to accommodate the shape of the elastic part 11. A first limiting plate 22 and a second limiting plate 23 are respectively disposed on the two side edges of the mounting plate 21, thereby forming a receiving groove 26. In this embodiment, the first limiting plate 22 and the second limiting plate 23 are arranged opposite each other in the second direction, both extending along the first direction and substantially perpendicular to the mounting plate 21. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the receiving groove 26 is U-shaped, which can well match the cross-sectional shape of the elastic part 11, allowing the receiving groove 26 to accommodate the elastic part 11.

[0051] The first guide member 24 is disposed on the side of the first limiting plate 22 near the second limiting plate 23 to cooperate with the first sliding groove 111. Preferably, the cleaning bracket 2 in this embodiment also includes a second guide member 27, which is disposed on the side of the second limiting plate 23 near the first limiting plate 22 to cooperate with the second sliding groove 112.

[0052] For example, in this embodiment, both the first guide member 24 and the second guide member 27 are plate-shaped.

[0053] The first limiting end cap 25 is disposed on the mounting plate 21 and is located at the end of the receiving groove 26. Furthermore, the first guide member 24 is also spaced apart from the first limiting end cap 25 in a first direction. Symmetrically, the cleaning bracket 2 also includes a second limiting end cap 28, which is also disposed on the mounting plate 21 and is spaced apart from the first guide member 24 in a first direction. The first limiting end cap 25 and the second limiting end cap 28 are located at opposite ends of the receiving groove 26.

[0054] Similarly, in the first direction, the first limiting end cap 25 and the second limiting end cap 28 are also spaced apart from the second guide member 27.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the cleaning strip 1 is mounted on the cleaning bracket 2, the elastic part 11 is at least partially located inside the receiving groove 26, while the cleaning part 12 is located outside the receiving groove 26, so as to allow the cleaning part 12 to perform cleaning operations normally.

[0056] In the first direction, the first limiting end cap 25 and the second limiting end cap 28 can cooperate to limit the elastic part 11, so as to prevent the cleaning strip 1 from being directly dislodged from the receiving groove 26 simply by moving in the first direction. Preferably, a portion of the projection of the end face of the elastic part 11 in the first direction is located outside the first limiting end cap 25.

[0057] In the second direction, the first limiting plate 22 and the second limiting plate 23 can limit the elastic part 11 to prevent the cleaning strip 1 from dislodging from the receiving groove 26 by movement in the second direction. Preferably, the elastic part 11 can be clamped between the first limiting plate 22 and the second limiting plate 23.

[0058] Furthermore, the first guide member 24 is located within the first slide groove 111, and the second guide member 27 is located within the second slide groove 112. In this embodiment, the normal direction of the mounting plate 21 is the third direction. The first guide member 24 and the second guide member 27 cooperate with the sidewalls of the first slide groove 111 and the second slide groove 112 to limit the elastic part 11 in the third direction. Based on the above structure, the elastic part 11 can be stably stopped at the receiving groove 26. For example, in this embodiment, the first guide member 24 is in clearance fit with the sidewall of the first slide groove 111 in the third direction, and the second guide member 27 is in clearance fit with the sidewall of the second slide groove 112 in the third direction. In other words, the height of the first slide groove 111 (the projected length in the third direction) is slightly greater than the thickness of the first guide member 24, and the height of the second slide groove 112 (the projected length in the third direction) is slightly greater than the thickness of the second guide member 27.

[0059] It is easy to understand that since the first guide member 24 and the second guide member 27 are spaced apart from the first limiting end cap 25 and the second limiting end cap 28 in the first direction, the first guide member 24 and the second guide member 27 are not located at the ends of the first slide groove 111 and the second slide groove 112. In other words, the first guide member 24 and the second guide member 27 will not impose too much restriction on the deformation capability of the end of the elastic part 11, nor will they limit the end of the elastic part 11 in the third direction. Therefore, the end of the elastic part 11 has the ability to deform in the third direction compared to the middle part of the elastic part 11.

[0060] Based on this, such as Figure 8 As shown, when it is necessary to remove the cleaning strip 1 from the cleaning bracket 2, the end of the elastic part 11 can be pulled along the third direction to deform the end of the elastic part 11 away from the mounting plate 21 until the projection of the end face of the elastic part 11 in the first direction avoids the first limiting end cap 25. Then, the end of the elastic part 11 can be pulled along the first direction to disengage the entire elastic part 11 from the receiving groove 26, thus completing the removal of the cleaning strip 1.

[0061] It is easy to understand that, before the end of the elastic part 11 is pulled, a portion of the projection of the end face of the elastic part 11 in the first direction is located outside the first limiting end cap 25. The first limiting end cap 25 does not completely block the end face of the elastic part 11. Therefore, when the end of the elastic part 11 is pulled, the end of the elastic part 11 only needs a small deformation to make the end face of the elastic part 11 avoid the first limiting end cap 25, thereby further facilitating the disassembly of the cleaning strip 1.

[0062] Then, when it is necessary to assemble the cleaning strip 1 onto the cleaning bracket 2, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, by utilizing the gap between the first guide member 24 and the second guide member 27 and the first limiting end cap 25 in the first direction, a portion of the end of the elastic part 11 can be first inserted into the receiving groove 26, while the edge of the first limiting end cap 25 abuts against the top side edge of the elastic part 11. At this time, the elastic part 11 is inclined relative to the mounting plate 21. Then, by, for example, deformation of the end of the elastic part 11, the edge of the first guide member 24 can enter the end of the first slide groove 111, and the edge of the second guide member 27 can enter the end of the second slide groove 112. Afterwards, the elastic part 11 is continuously pushed. Based on the guiding effect of the first guide member 24 and the second guide member 27, the elastic part 11 will continuously deform and enter the receiving groove 26. Finally, the entire elastic part 11 will be located between the first limiting end cap 25 and the second limiting end cap 28, completing the assembly of the cleaning strip 1.

[0063] Furthermore, since the height of the first groove 111 in this embodiment is slightly greater than the thickness of the first guide member 24, and the height of the second groove 112 is slightly greater than the thickness of the second guide member 27, the process of the edge of the first guide member 24 entering the end of the first groove 111 and the edge of the second guide member 27 entering the end of the second groove 112 during the assembly of the cleaning strip 1 will be easier, and even the deformation of the end of the elastic part 11 is not required.

[0064] Example 2:

[0065] This embodiment provides a specific structure for a cleaning strip 1, see details below. Figures 11-13Similar to Embodiment 1, the cleaning strip 1 in this embodiment also includes an elastic portion 11 and a cleaning portion 12, with the cleaning portion 12 disposed on the elastic portion 11. A first groove 111 and a second groove 112 are provided on the outer wall of the elastic portion 11, and the first groove 111 and the second groove 112 extend along a first direction.

[0066] The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the cleaning part 12 is a brush bristle 121, and the brush bristle 121 covers the bottom surface of the elastic part 11.

[0067] Example 3:

[0068] This embodiment provides a camera device, including a camera and a cleaning component as described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. The driver 3 is mounted on the camera and controls the cleaning unit 12 to scrape and clean the lens of the camera.

[0069] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0070] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
