Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of camera dust prevention technology, specifically a dust prevention device for mining cameras. Background Technology
[0002] Coal mining faces in underground mines have high dust concentrations, and this dust spreads throughout the entire mining face along with the operation of the underground ventilation system. Nowadays, with the continuous development of intelligent coal mining technology, more and more monitoring systems are being deployed in the mining face to monitor the equipment, conditions, and status of the underground mine. However, the dust spreading throughout the mining face can affect the effect and quality of the footage.
[0003] In existing technologies, cameras in monitoring systems are typically cleaned manually. This method severely impacts work continuity and, due to the harsh underground environment, easily leads to safety issues. In addition, existing technologies also involve rinsing the lenses using cleaning equipment. This method requires a corresponding water tank, which is complex in structure, occupies a large space, and allows airborne particles to easily enter the rinsing pipes, affecting the proper cleaning of the lenses.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] This utility model discloses a dustproof device for a mining camera, the structure of which is as follows: Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a base 1, a mounting frame 2 fixed on the base, and a cover 3 located outside the mounting frame. A camera 4, a film feeding assembly 5, a guiding assembly 6, a film pressing assembly 7, a film pulling assembly 8, and a door assembly 9 are fixed on the mounting frame. The camera is fixed to the top of the mounting frame. The film feeding assembly is located on one side of the mounting frame, the guiding assembly is located above the mounting frame, the film pressing assembly is located above the mounting frame outside the camera, and the film pulling assembly is located on the opposite side of the mounting frame opposite the film feeding assembly. The door assembly is fixed to the mounting frame below the film pulling assembly. The separator film is a high-definition, high-transparency, and antistatic film. During monitoring, the isolation membrane effectively prevents dust from adhering to the camera surface by shielding it in front of the camera. When dust adheres to the isolation membrane and affects monitoring, the film feeding assembly and the film pulling assembly work together to move a clean isolation membrane to the front of the camera, ensuring both dust prevention and monitoring clarity. The isolation membrane is led out from the film feeding assembly and covered above the camera by the guide assembly. The film pulling assembly moves the isolation membrane when a clean isolation membrane needs to be switched, thus ensuring that the isolation membrane at the camera is always clean. The film pressing assembly presses the isolation membrane tightly during monitoring to prevent it from moving and affecting the captured image.
[0024] Specifically, the housing is located outside the mounting frame, and its structure includes a housing 31 and a flip-up top cover 32. The bottom of the housing is snapped into the base, and a film outlet 311 is provided on the side of the housing between the film feeding assembly and the door assembly. The flip-up top cover includes a top cover 321, an outer cover 322, and a flip-up drive 323. The top cover is snapped into the upper part of the housing, and an observation hole 324 is provided corresponding to the position of the camera. The outer cover is pivotally connected to the top cover in conjunction with the flip-up drive, and the flip-up drive opens or closes the outer cover. Figure 5 As shown, the flip cover drive consists of a motor 325, a worm gear 326, and a turbine 327. The outer cover is opened when monitoring is required and closed when not in use, thus providing initial dust protection.
[0025] The film feeding assembly is located below one side of the mounting frame and is used to hold the release film roll. Its specific structure is as follows: Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the device includes a film compartment 51, a roll 52, and a pressing roller 53. The film compartment is embedded in the mounting frame, and mounting grooves 54 are provided on opposite sides. The release film roll is mounted on the roll, and the two ends of the roll are engaged in the mounting grooves. The opposite sides of the film compartment also have strip grooves 55. The strip grooves are inclined and their upper ends extend to the mounting grooves. The two ends of the pressing roller pass through the strip grooves and are fixed to the outer wall of the film compartment with the help of springs. The release film is led out of the film compartment from below, and the pressing roller presses the surface of the release film roll from below. As the outer diameter of the release film roll decreases, the pressing roller always sticks to the surface of the release film roll under the action of the springs to prevent the release film roll from loosening.
[0026] The guiding component is used to guide the membrane during transport, and its structure is as follows: Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the assembly includes a guide groove 61, a first guide roller 62, and a second guide roller 63. The guide groove is located on a mounting frame above the film chamber, with baffles 64 on both sides to block the isolation film. There are two sets of first guide rollers, located on both sides of the camera at the top of the mounting frame. The second guide roller is located at the top of the film chamber. Both the first and second guide rollers can rotate freely. After the isolation film is drawn out from the film chamber, it is conveyed upward through the second guide roller and the guide groove. The two sets of first guide rollers ensure that the isolation film is horizontally positioned above the camera. The guide assembly can guide the transmission of the isolation film and ensure its stability during movement. The design of the second guide roller avoids the isolation film drawn out from the film chamber from being directly rubbed and conveyed in the guide groove, which would cause wear on the isolation film. The two sets of first guide rollers support the isolation film on both sides, making it horizontally arranged, which is convenient for the pressing assembly to press.
[0027] The pressure-film assembly is used to press the isolation film during monitoring, so that the isolation film adheres tightly to the observation hole on the top cover. The specific structure is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes an electric cylinder 71, a swing arm 72, a pressure ring 73, and a connector 74. The middle position of the swing arm is fixed to the top of the mounting frame by a bracket 75. One end of the swing arm has a semi-circular structure and is movably connected to the pressure ring. The pressure ring is sleeved on the outside of the camera. The other end of the swing arm is connected to the electric cylinder with the connector. The swing arm swings by extending and retracting the electric cylinder.
[0028] The swing arm is fixed in the middle by a bracket, and both ends can swing freely (seesaw principle). When the electric cylinder extends and retracts, it causes one end of the swing arm to rise or fall, and the semi-circular structure at the other end of the swing arm falls or rises at the same time, thereby causing the pressure ring to rise and press the isolation membrane, or fall and release the pressure on the isolation membrane.
[0029] The pressure ring has slots 76 on its two opposite sides. The inner wall of the semi-circular structure of the swing arm is provided with a bearing (not shown) embedded in the slot, so as to realize the movable connection between the pressure ring and the swing arm. The cooperation between the bearing and the slot makes the pressure ring rise vertically when the swing arm is lifted, so as to fully compress the isolation membrane.
[0030] The membrane-pulling assembly is located on the other side of the mounting bracket and is used to pull the isolation membrane to ensure that the isolation membrane at the front of the camera is always clean. Its specific structure is as follows: Figure 3 and 4As shown, the device includes a back plate 81 and a front cover 82 fixed on a mounting frame. A channel is formed between the back plate and the front cover. Within this channel, from top to bottom, are arranged a film feeding roller 83, a tension roller 84, a cutting assembly 85, and an exit roller 86. The back plate is vertically fixed to the mounting frame, and its lower end has a quarter-circle arc structure, changing the channel's entry point from vertical to horizontal exit. The exit port faces the film outlet of the housing. The film feeding roller is located at the upper end of the channel. Two sets of tension rollers are located above and below the film feeding roller, respectively. The film feeding roller passes through... The motor connected to the unit drives its rotation. At the same time, the film feeding roller has protrusions at equal intervals on both ends of its circumference, which correspond to the notches at both ends of the release film. As the film feeding roller rotates, the protrusions and notches engage in sequence, thereby pulling the release film. The arrangement of the upper and lower tension rollers ensures that the release film is in close contact with the surface of the film feeding roller. The cutting assembly consists of a lead screw and a cutter. The lead screw drives the cutter to move laterally, thereby cutting the passing release film. The cut release film is sent to the film outlet by the rotating lead-out roller. The lead-out roller and the film feeding roller are connected by a chain to achieve synchronous rotation.
[0031] The film-pulling assembly is used to replace the isolation film in front of the camera when it becomes dirty. Specifically, it can be manually operated on-site according to the degree of dirtiness to rotate the film-feeding roller motor, or it can be remotely controlled by sending commands to rotate the film-feeding roller motor.
[0032] The door assembly is mounted on the mounting bracket and is used to block the membrane outlet. The specific structure is as follows: Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the device includes a door 91, a push rod 92, and a multi-stage linkage rod 93. The door is hinged to one end of the multi-stage linkage rod, while the other end of the multi-stage linkage rod is hinged to the mounting frame. The telescopic end of the push rod is connected to the connecting rod 94 and is movably linked to one end of the door in the middle of the multi-stage linkage rod. When the push rod extends, the connecting rod drives the multi-stage linkage rod to lift, thereby moving the door diagonally upward to press against the housing and block the membrane outlet, thus preventing dust from entering under normal circumstances. When the membrane pulling assembly pulls the separation membrane, the push rod retracts, the door resets, and the separation membrane, which is easy to cut, is discharged from the membrane outlet.
[0033] This utility model discloses a dustproof device for a mining camera. An isolation membrane is set at the front end of the camera to effectively prevent dust from adhering to the camera surface. Through the cooperation of the film feeding component and the film pulling component, the isolation membrane can be automatically replaced when it becomes dirty, effectively ensuring cleanliness during each monitoring session. The flip-up top cover closes when not monitoring to prevent dust from entering the housing, achieving initial dust prevention. The film outlet on the side of the housing can effectively discharge the dirty isolation membrane, preventing the used isolation membrane from accumulating inside the housing and causing secondary pollution. The linkage door design closes the film outlet, which also serves as a dustproof function.
