Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of optical in-situ monitoring equipment, and in particular to a self-cleaning optical in-situ monitoring structure under high-concentration pollution conditions. Background Technology

[0002] Optical in-situ monitoring equipment is an important tool for real-time monitoring and assessment of water environmental quality. In environmental monitoring, optical in-situ monitoring technology is widely used due to its high real-time performance and accuracy. However, during optical monitoring, impurities such as silt, algae, and dirt easily adhere to the surface of the monitoring window. These deposits severely affect light transmittance, reducing the accuracy and reliability of monitoring. Traditional cleaning methods include manual intervention, which is inefficient and difficult to achieve in real-time cleaning, failing to meet the needs of in-situ monitoring. Another method uses a cleaning brush structure, but cleaning brushes are not thorough and can easily cause wear and tear on the surface of the light window with long-term use. Therefore, it is necessary to design an effective and automatic self-cleaning structure for optical in-situ monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a self-cleaning optical in-situ monitoring structure for high-concentration pollution conditions, solving the technical problem of difficult-to-clean lenses in optical in-situ monitoring equipment and achieving the goal of extending the service life of the equipment.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-cleaning optical in-situ monitoring structure under high-concentration pollution conditions, including a control module housing as a supporting base, a monitoring module housing installed at the bottom of the control module housing, and a light source module housing installed at the bottom of the monitoring module housing; The monitoring module housing is equipped with a monitoring light window, and nozzles are installed on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the monitoring light window, respectively. A temperature sensor is installed on the inner side of the monitoring light window.

[0005] Preferably, a high-pressure air pipe is installed inside the housing of the control module and the housing of the monitoring module, and the water inlet of the nozzle is connected to the air outlet of the high-pressure air pipe through a special connector.

[0006] Preferably, a control motherboard is installed inside the housing of the control module.

[0007] Preferably, optical lenses are installed at both the top and bottom of the inner side of the monitoring window.

[0008] Preferably, a vibrator module is installed inside the housing of the monitoring module.

[0009] Preferably, the light source module is installed inside the housing of the light source module.

[0010] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a self-cleaning optical in-situ monitoring structure for high-concentration pollution conditions, which has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. Due to the nozzle configuration, the nozzle structure is located on the end face of the monitoring window. High-pressure gas supplied by the high-pressure gas supply system forms a directional high-speed airflow. This airflow washes the surface of the monitoring window at a certain angle and intensity, effectively removing pollutants such as mud and algae attached to it. The nozzle structure design takes into account the balance between uniform airflow covering the surface of the window and the washing force and energy consumption, ensuring the cleaning effect while reducing energy consumption.

[0011] 2. Due to the setting of the monitoring light window, the monitoring light window is located in front of the optical sensor and serves as a key component for monitoring the transmission of light. It is used to perform optical monitoring of the target area. The light window is used to transmit light to obtain images or data of the target area.

[0012] 3. Due to the setting of the cleaning oscillator, the cleaning oscillator is activated at the same time as the nozzle is rinsing. The cleaning oscillator further promotes the separation of the attached substances from the surface of the monitoring window through ultrasonic and mechanical vibration, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect. The vibration frequency, amplitude and other parameters of the oscillator can be adjusted according to the characteristics of different pollutants to achieve the best cleaning effect.

[0013] 4. Due to the setting of the control motherboard, this utility model is equipped with an intelligent control system, which can automatically trigger the cleaning program according to the degree of contamination of the monitoring light window, or perform cleaning tasks periodically according to the preset time interval. In addition, the system can also monitor gas pressure and vibration status to ensure the stability and safety of the cleaning process. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example 1 During optical monitoring, impurities such as mud, algae, and dirt easily adhere to the surface of the monitoring window. These deposits severely affect light transmittance, reducing the accuracy and reliability of monitoring. Traditional cleaning methods include manual intervention, which is inefficient and difficult to achieve in real-time cleaning, failing to meet the needs of in-situ monitoring. Another method uses a cleaning brush structure, but cleaning brushes are not thorough and can easily cause wear and tear on the window surface with long-term use. Therefore, it is necessary to design an effective and automatic self-cleaning structure for in-situ optical monitoring. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a self-cleaning optical in-situ monitoring structure under high-concentration pollution conditions, which solves the technical problem that the lens of optical in-situ monitoring equipment is difficult to clean. The device includes a control module housing 1 as a supporting base, a monitoring module housing 2 installed at the bottom of the control module housing 1, and a light source module housing 3 installed at the bottom of the monitoring module housing 2. During optical monitoring, impurities such as mud, algae, and dirt easily adhere to the surface of the monitoring window. These deposits severely affect light transmittance, reducing the accuracy and reliability of monitoring. Traditional cleaning methods require manual intervention, which is inefficient and difficult to achieve in real-time cleaning, failing to meet the needs of in-situ monitoring. A monitoring window 10 is installed on the housing 2 of the monitoring module. Nozzles 101 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the monitoring window 10, and a temperature sensor 102 is installed inside the monitoring window 10.

[0019] By integrating advanced automated cleaning mechanisms, such as high-pressure gas flushing combined with vibration cleaning technology, automatic, timed, or on-demand cleaning of the monitoring light window is achieved. This innovative design not only significantly reduces the need for manual intervention and lowers maintenance costs, but also ensures the continuous and efficient operation of the monitoring equipment, thereby improving overall monitoring efficiency.

[0020] Example 2 Based on Example 1, which solved the technical problem of difficult cleaning of the lens of the optical in-situ monitoring equipment, the problem of long-term adhesion of algae and silt and incomplete cleaning still exists. Combined with... Figures 1-4 As shown, the specific implementation process is as follows: a high-pressure air pipe 5 is installed inside the control module housing 1 and the monitoring module housing 2. The water inlet of the nozzle 101 is connected to the air outlet of the high-pressure air pipe 5 through a special connector 6. A control main board 4 is installed inside the control module housing 1.

[0021] The control system automatically adjusts the cleaning strategy based on parameters such as the level of contamination in the monitoring window, environmental conditions, and the user-set cleaning cycle. This intelligent control method not only simplifies the operation process and reduces operational difficulty but also allows users to flexibly set parameters according to actual needs, thereby achieving more precise and efficient cleaning results. Simultaneously, the intelligent control system can monitor the cleaning process in real time to ensure the successful completion of the cleaning task.

[0022] Optical lenses 7 are installed at the top and bottom of the inner side of the monitoring window 10. An oscillator module 8 is installed inside the monitoring module housing 2, and a light source module 9 is installed inside the light source module housing 3.

[0023] The cleaning system of this invention can thoroughly remove contaminants such as mud, algae, and dust from the surface of the monitoring light window, restoring its good light transmission performance. This not only effectively extends the service life of the monitoring light window and reduces the additional costs incurred due to window replacement, but more importantly, it ensures the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data, providing strong support for the scientific assessment of environmental quality.
