Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of broadcast-grade camera technology, specifically to an APS-C type CMOS sensor broadcast-grade camera. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, existing broadcast-grade cameras using APS-C CMOS sensors have a significant drawback in practical use: the lack of a self-cleaning mechanism. Dust particles easily adhere to the camera lens surface in their surrounding environment, gradually covering the lens over time. This severely impacts the camera's normal recording function. Because automatic lens cleaning is impossible, image quality cannot be effectively guaranteed. Therefore, innovative designs based on existing APS-C CMOS sensor broadcast-grade cameras are urgently needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an APS-C type CMOS sensor broadcast-grade camera to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An APS-C type CMOS sensor broadcast-grade camera, comprising:

[0006] Mounting base, the bottom of which is provided with camera body, a fixed box is fixedly installed on one side of camera body, a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the lower part of the fixed box, a rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the lower front of the fixed box, and the rear end of the rotating shaft passes through the fixed box and extends into the interior of the fixed box, and a transmission mechanism is provided between the rotating shaft and the drive end of the drive motor.

[0007] A support arm is fixedly installed at the front end of the rotating shaft, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed at one end of the support arm, a cleaning plate is fixedly installed at the drive end of the electric telescopic rod, and a scraper and a brush are fixedly installed on the back of the cleaning plate.

The front end of the outlet pipe passes through the fixed box and extends to the front of the fixed box. A cleaning pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning plate. Several atomizing nozzles are fixedly installed at equal intervals and evenly on the rear side of the outer surface of the cleaning pipe. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected between one end of the cleaning pipe and the front end of the outlet pipe. A liquid level sensor is provided inside the liquid storage tank.

[0009] Preferably, a storage cover is fixedly installed on the front of the fixed box, and several elastic sealing strips are fixedly installed at the opening on one side of the storage cover.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the support arm is fixedly equipped with an auxiliary telescopic rod both above and below the electric telescopic rod, and the telescopic end of the auxiliary telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the cleaning plate.

[0011] Preferably, a protective sleeve is fixedly connected between the cleaning plate and the support arm, and both the electric telescopic rod and the auxiliary telescopic rod are located inside the protective sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting pipe is made of a flexible flexible hose.

[0013] Preferably, the transmission mechanism consists of a driving gear, a driven gear, and a synchronous belt. The driving gear and the driven gear are connected by a synchronous belt. The driving gear is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor, and the driven gear is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the rotating shaft inside the fixed box.

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

[0015] 1. This utility model, through the coordinated use of a mounting base, camera body, fixing box, rotating shaft, support arm, cleaning plate, cleaning pipe, transmission mechanism, drive motor, scraper, brush, electric telescopic rod, and auxiliary telescopic rod, enables the APS-C type CMOS sensor broadcast-grade camera to possess a self-cleaning function during operation, effectively ensuring the camera's normal image clarity. Furthermore, this self-cleaning method avoids the tediousness of manual cleaning, saving time and reducing labor costs, significantly lowering the operating cost of the camera body, and possessing extremely high practicality.

[0016] 2. This invention utilizes a combination of an external drain pipe, a connecting pipe, a cleaning pipe, a storage tank, a pump, and an atomizing nozzle to address stubborn dust that is difficult to remove using only scrapers and brushes during camera lens cleaning. Activating the pump delivers the cleaning solution from the storage tank to the cleaning pipe via the external drain pipe and connecting pipe. Moving with the cleaning plate, the cleaning solution is evenly atomized and sprayed onto the lens surface through the atomizing nozzle. Combined with the scraper and brush, this reduces the adhesion of stubborn dust, significantly improving the cleaning effect on the camera lens.

[0017] 3. This utility model utilizes a storage cover and an elastic sealing strip. When the cleaning structure is idle, a drive motor powers the cleaning plate to rotate. During rotation, the cleaning plate passes through the elastic sealing strip and enters the storage cover. At this time, the scraper and brush on the cleaning plate are stored in a relatively enclosed environment constructed by the storage cover and the elastic sealing strip. This storage method effectively prevents dust from the external environment from adhering to the scraper and brush, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning mechanism during long-term operation and guaranteeing its consistently good cleaning performance.

The power adapter is compatible with AC110V-AC220V. Dimensions are 230mm × 209mm × 239mm.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: All electrical components mentioned are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply inside the camera body 2. Existing publicly available power connection technologies are not detailed here. During use, if the image from the camera body 2 becomes blurry, and it is determined that this is due to dust adhering to the lens, the lens needs to be cleaned. First, the angle of the camera body 2 is adjusted so that its lens is precisely facing forward. Then, the drive motor 17 is started. The rotation of the drive end of the drive motor 17, through the precise transmission mechanism 16, drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 8 further drives the support arm 9 to rotate. The rotation of the support arm 9, via the electric telescopic rod 21, moves the cleaning plate 11, allowing it to smoothly move out from the front of the fixed box 3. Simultaneously, the drive end of the electric telescopic rod 21 is extended to precisely adjust the length of the cleaning plate 11, ensuring that the cleaning plate 11 completely covers the lens portion of the camera body 2. The cleaning plate 11 is continuously controlled to rotate with the support arm 9, ensuring it moves accurately to the front of the lens. At this time, the scraper 19 and brush 20 on the back of the cleaning plate 11 make full contact with the lens, and the scraper 19 and brush 20 efficiently clean the dust on the lens. After cleaning, the drive end of the electric telescopic rod 21 retracts, causing the cleaning plate 11 to retract. Then, driven by the drive motor 17, the cleaning plate 11 is smoothly stored in the front of the fixed box 3. Through the above series of precise operations and structural design, this APS-C type CMOS sensor broadcast-grade camera has a self-cleaning function during operation, which can effectively ensure the normal image clarity of the camera. In addition, this self-cleaning method avoids the tediousness of manual cleaning, saving time and reducing manpower consumption, significantly reducing the operating cost of the camera body 2, and has extremely high practicality.

[0037] During the cleaning of the camera body 2, simply relying on the scraper 19 and brush 20 to scrape the lens surface is insufficient to completely remove stubborn dust adhering to the lens. Therefore, during the cleaning process, the pump 14 is activated. The pump 14 draws out the pre-stored cleaning solution from the reservoir 13 through the external drain pipe 6 and delivers it to the cleaning tube 12 via the connecting pipe 7. Since the cleaning tube 12 moves synchronously with the cleaning plate 11, it moves accordingly, allowing the cleaning solution to be sprayed evenly onto the lens surface of the camera body 2 through the atomizing nozzle 23. Under the wetting effect of the cleaning solution, combined with the scraping action of the scraper 19 and brush 20, the adhesion of stubborn dust to the lens surface is effectively reduced, thus significantly improving the cleaning effect on the camera body 2 lens.

[0038] When not in use, the cleaning structure is prone to dust accumulation if directly exposed to the external environment, leading to a significant decrease in cleaning quality during subsequent cleaning operations. To address this issue, during periods of inactivity, the cleaning plate 11 is driven to rotate via a drive motor 17. During rotation, the cleaning plate 11 passes through the elastic sealing strip 18 and enters the storage cover 4. At this time, the scraper 19 and brush 20 on the cleaning plate 11 are housed within a relatively enclosed environment created by the storage cover 4 and the elastic sealing strip 18. This storage method effectively prevents dust from the external environment from adhering to the scraper 19 and brush 20, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning mechanism during long-term operation and guaranteeing consistently good cleaning performance.

[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
