[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic camera lens cleaning device includes a camera body 1, a protective cover 2 fixedly connected to the top of the camera body 1, a U-shaped frame 3 fixedly connected to one end of the protective cover 2, a cleaning mechanism 4 for cleaning the lens of the camera body 1 installed inside the U-shaped frame 3, a collection mechanism 5 cooperating with the cleaning mechanism 4 installed at the bottom of the protective cover 2, and a water spraying mechanism 6 fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover 2.

[0022] The cleaning mechanism 4 can automatically clean the lens of the camera body 1, and the cleaning mechanism 4 can self-clean during the cleaning process to avoid impurities remaining and affecting the cleaning effect. The collection mechanism 5 can collect the cleaned impurities to prevent them from being exposed and causing secondary effects. The water spraying mechanism 6 can spray cleaning fluid before and after cleaning to improve the cleaning effect on the lens of the camera body 1.

[0023] In this technical solution, a controller for controlling the cleaning mechanism 4, the collection mechanism 5 and the water spraying mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the protective cover 2. The controller facilitates the control of each mechanism. Controlling by the controller is a common technical means used by those skilled in the art and belongs to the prior art, so it is not described in detail.

[0024] This technical solution is applicable to camera lenses such as the HH160 (Y1-100 / 50X-P).

[0025] A rain cover 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the U-shaped frame 3. The rain cover 7 can block rainwater and prevent it from hindering the normal use of the camera.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 4 includes a motor 41 fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped frame 3. The output shaft of the motor 41 is fixedly connected to a screw 42 rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 3. The outer surface of the screw 42 is threadedly connected to a slide 43 slidably connected to the inside of the U-shaped frame 3. A concentrator 44 is fixedly connected between the two ends of the slide 43. A cleaning roller 45, which contacts the outer surface of the lens of the camera body 1, is rotatably connected through the top of the concentrator 44. A scraper 46, which contacts the cleaning roller 45, is fixedly connected inside the concentrator 44. A rack 47 is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped frame 3. A gear 48, which meshes with the rack 47, is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning roller 45.

[0027] The rotation of motor 41 drives screw 42 to rotate, which in turn drives carriage 43 and cleaning roller 45 to rotate via the thread. The outer layer of cleaning roller 45 is a detachable nano-composite sponge sleeve, which not only has a good cleaning effect but also does not easily scratch the lens. During the cleaning process, the rack 47 and gear 48 can drive cleaning roller 45 to rotate, which not only improves the cleaning effect but also, with the cooperation of scraper 46, can scrape dirt off cleaning roller 45, preventing impurities from adhering to cleaning roller 45 and realizing the self-cleaning function of cleaning mechanism 4.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the collection mechanism 5 includes a bracket 51 fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover 2. A collection box 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 51. A collection hose 53 is fixedly connected between one side of the collection box 52 and the bottom of the collection cover 44.

[0029] With the cooperation of the cleaning roller 45 and the scraper 46, impurities can be cleaned. The operation of the exhaust fan 54 can draw impurities into the collection box 52 through the collection hose 53 and filter them through the filter screen, which can prevent impurities from being exposed to the outside and causing secondary pollution to the camera body 1 lens, thus improving the cleaning effect. Moreover, when cleaning, you only need to open the bottom sealing cover 55 to discharge the impurities.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the water spraying mechanism 6 includes a liquid storage tank 61 fixedly installed on the top of the protective cover 2. A miniature water pump 62 is fixedly installed on one side of the liquid storage tank 61. The input end of the miniature water pump 62 is connected to the inside of the liquid storage tank 61. The output end of the miniature water pump 62 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 63. One end of the connecting pipe 63 passes through the top of the U-shaped frame 3 and is fixedly connected to a horizontal pipe 64. The outer surface of the horizontal pipe 64 has multiple spray holes for spraying cleaning fluid onto the lens of the camera body 1.

[0031] Before and after cleaning, the micro water pump 62 can be started to extract the cleaning solution from the storage tank 61 and spray it onto the lens of the camera body 1 through the spray hole on the horizontal pipe 64, which can thoroughly clean the impurities and further improve the cleaning effect.

[0032] Working principle: The rotation of motor 41 drives screw 42 to rotate, which in turn drives carriage 43 and cleaning roller 45 to rotate through the thread. The outer layer of cleaning roller 45 is a detachable nano-composite sponge sleeve, which not only has a good cleaning effect but also does not easily scratch the lens. During the cleaning process, the rack 47 and gear 48 can drive cleaning roller 45 to rotate, which not only improves the cleaning effect but also, with the cooperation of scraper 46, can scrape dirt off cleaning roller 45, preventing impurities from adhering to cleaning roller 45 and realizing the self-cleaning function of cleaning mechanism 4.

[0033] With the cooperation of the cleaning roller 45 and the scraper 46, impurities can be cleaned. The operation of the exhaust fan 54 can draw impurities into the collection box 52 through the collection hose 53 and filter them through the filter screen, which can prevent impurities from being exposed to the outside and causing secondary pollution to the camera body 1 lens, thus improving the cleaning effect. Moreover, when cleaning, you only need to open the bottom sealing cover 55 to discharge the impurities.

[0034] Before and after cleaning, the micro water pump 62 can be started to extract the cleaning solution from the storage tank 61 and spray it onto the lens of the camera body 1 through the spray hole on the horizontal pipe 64, which can thoroughly clean the impurities and further improve the cleaning effect.
