Detailed Implementation

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] A camera with a self-cleaning function, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a connecting frame 101, a water tank 1, a camera body 2, a collection frame 3, a filter screen 301, a connecting pipe 305, a partition plate 3053, and a cleaning mechanism 6. The water tank 1 is connected to the lower inner side of the connecting frame 101. The water tank 1 stores filtered rainwater, reducing the need for manual water replenishment. The camera body 2 is connected to the top of the connecting frame 101. The camera body 2 includes a camera 202, which is mounted on the left side of the camera body 2. The collection frame 3 is connected to the top right side of the water tank 1. The filter screen 301 is installed inside the collection frame 3, which is used to collect the filter screen 301. After filtration, the rainwater collection frame 3 has a rectangular collecting trough 304 in the middle of its inner bottom. The collecting trough 304 collects rainwater. The collection frame 3 is connected to the water tank 1 by a connecting pipe 305. The connecting pipe 305 has a partition plate 3053 inside, which divides the inside of the connecting pipe 305 into two parts: the front part of the connecting pipe 305 is used to collect rainwater, and the rear part of the connecting pipe 305 is used to drain excess water. The rear part of the connecting pipe 305 has an overflow port 5052, which is connected to the rear part of the connecting pipe 305.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a water pump 103, a water pipe 4, a spray pipe 401, a scraper 5, and a rotary motor 501. The water pump 103 is located at the bottom of the water tank 1, and the water outlet of the water pump 103 is connected to the water pipe 4. The spray pipe 401 is located at the upper left end of the camera body 2, and the outlet of the water pipe 4 is connected to the inlet of the spray pipe 401. The water pump 103 is used to draw water stored in the water tank 1 and deliver it to the spray pipe 401 through the water pipe 4. The scraper 5 is rotatably connected to the rear left side of the camera body 2. The rotary motor 501 is installed on the left side inside the camera body 2. The output shaft of the rotary motor 501 is connected to the rotating shaft of the scraper 5. The rotary motor 501 is used to drive the scraper 5 to rotate, so that the scraper 5 scrapes away the dirt on the surface of the camera 202.

[0023] like Figures 1-3As shown, it also includes an impurity discharge plate 302. The front end of the collection frame 3 is connected to the impurity discharge plate 302, which is used to discharge impurities. The opening at the rear end of the impurity discharge plate 302 is the same size as the opening at the front end of the collection frame 3. The opening at the front end of the impurity discharge plate 302 is much larger than its rear end opening. The opening design of the impurity discharge plate 302 is conducive to the removal of impurities from the impurity discharge plate 302. The filter screen 301 is installed at an angle inside the collection frame 3. The rear side of the filter screen 301 is higher than its front side. The rear end of the impurity discharge plate 302 and the front end of the filter screen 301 are at the same horizontal height.

[0024] It also includes a cover 102, a protective shell 201, a shield shell 3051, and a collection plate 303. The cover 102 is threaded to the rear top of the water tank 1. When there is no water in the water tank 1, the cover 102 can be rotated open to manually add water to the water tank 1. The camera body 2 is covered with a protective shell 201. In severe weather conditions (such as typhoon weather), the protective shell 201 can protect the camera body 2 from direct impact from external objects. The shield shell 3051 is connected to the rear side of the connecting pipe 305 and above the overflow port 5052. The shield shell 3051 is used to prevent debris from flowing into the water tank 1 through the overflow port 5052. The collection plate 303 is connected to the upper right end of the collection frame 3. The collection plate 303 helps to guide more rainwater into the collection frame 3.

[0025] When it rains, rainwater falls directly onto the filter screen 301 and the collection plate 303. Rainwater on the collection plate 303 flows onto the filter screen 301, where it filters the rainwater. The filtered rainwater falls into the collection frame 3 below the filter screen 301, and then flows into the gathering trough 304. The rainwater in the gathering trough 304 flows into the connecting pipe 305. This rainwater enters the water tank 1 through the front part of the connecting pipe 305, replenishing the water tank 1. When the water tank 1 is full, excess rainwater continues to enter the water tank 1 through the front part of the connecting pipe 305. However, at this time, the rear of the connecting pipe 305... Rainwater will be discharged from the overflow port 5052 on the side. Since the filter screen 301 is installed at an angle in the collection frame 3, the impurities on the filter screen 301 will flow along the top of the filter screen 301 to the guide plate. The impurities will eventually be discharged from the front end of the guide plate. When it is necessary to clean the camera 202, the water pump 103 is started. The water pump 103 delivers the water stored in the water tank 1 to the spray pipe 401 through the water pipe 4. The spray pipe 401 sprays the water evenly on the surface of the camera 202. At the same time, the rotary motor 501 is started. The rotary motor 501 drives the scraper 5 to rotate. The scraper 5 scrapes away the dirt and water stains on the surface of the camera 202, thus cleaning the camera 202.
