Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cameras, and more specifically, to a dustproof camera with a cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Cameras generally have basic functions such as video recording / transmission and still image capture. They capture images through a lens, and then the camera's internal photosensitive components and control components process the images and convert them into digital signals that a computer can recognize. These signals are then input to a computer via a parallel port or USB connection, where software reconstructs the image. With societal development, cameras are increasingly widely used in various fields of production and daily life.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN208583692U discloses a dustproof camera, which has a rotatable cleaning sponge on the surface of the camera. The sponge is driven by an electric motor to revolve around the lens, and at the same time, a drip tube is used to wet the sponge to remove dust by wet wiping.

[0004] However, in actual use, a layer of water film remains on the lens surface after wiping with a cleaning sponge. If the water hardness is high or there is salt or dust in the ambient air, obvious water stains or white spots will remain after the water evaporates, seriously affecting the image clarity, especially at night or in backlight conditions. For firmly attached dry dust, sand particles or oily dirt, the sponge's wiping power is weak and it is difficult to remove them effectively, resulting in frequent manual intervention, unstable cleaning effect and high maintenance cost. In view of this, we propose a dustproof camera with a cleaning mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of inconvenience in using some current dustproof cameras.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives and address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a dustproof camera with a cleaning mechanism, comprising a mounting frame. A mounting rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top plate of the mounting frame. A camera body is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the mounting rod. A fixing plate is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the mounting rod. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the fixing plate. The rotating plate is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the mounting rod. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the rotating plate. Brush bristles are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod. An annular cavity is formed on the lower surface of the fixing plate. The upper end of the rotating rod rotatably penetrates the rotating plate and extends into the interior of the annular cavity. A transmission mechanism is provided outside the rotating rod. An air supply mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the mounting frame.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating plate, a cleaning sponge is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate, an annular water collection chamber is formed inside the rotating plate, and a water outlet is formed on the bottom wall of the annular water collection chamber, with the water outlet corresponding to the position of the cleaning sponge.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a water supply pipe is fixedly sleeved inside the fixing plate, the lower end of the water supply pipe extends into the interior of the annular water collection chamber, and the upper end of the water supply pipe passes through the mounting frame and is connected to an external water supply device.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate of the mounting bracket, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the transmission mechanism includes a gear, which is located inside the annular chamber and fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod. The inner wall of the annular chamber is fixedly connected with teeth, and the gear is meshed with the fixed plate through the teeth.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the air supply mechanism includes a fan body, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate of the mounting frame. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the fan body, the connecting pipe penetrates the top plate of the mounting frame, and the lower end of the connecting pipe penetrates into the interior of the fixed plate.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the lower end of the connecting pipe extends into the interior of the annular chamber and communicates with the annular chamber.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the rotating rod has an air supply channel inside and an air outlet hole on its surface, and the air outlet hole and the air supply channel are connected.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the scheme of this application: 1. Through the coordinated structure of the cleaning sponge, rotating plate, motor, rotating rod, gears, teeth, and bristles, the motor drives the rotating plate to revolve, allowing the cleaning sponge to first moisten and wipe the camera body to remove surface dust. At the same time, the meshing of the gears and teeth drives the rotating rod to rotate, causing the bristles to perform a deep sweeping motion on the lens surface in a planetary motion. This effectively removes dry dust, sand particles, and oily dirt that are difficult to remove with traditional sponges, significantly improving the cleaning effect and adaptability, and avoiding the problem of insufficient wiping power of a single sponge. 2. Through the coordinated structure of the fan, connecting pipe, annular chamber, air supply channel, and air outlet, the airflow generated by the fan is sent into the annular chamber through the connecting pipe, and then blown directly onto the surface of the camera body through the air supply channel inside the rotating rod. This not only blows away loose dust particles while brushing, but also quickly evaporates the water film remaining after wet wiping, preventing water stains and white spots caused by high water hardness or environmental salt, effectively ensuring the image clarity of the camera under long-term unattended conditions.

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0020] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5 A dustproof camera with a cleaning mechanism includes a mounting frame 1. A mounting rod 2 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top plate of the mounting frame 1. A camera body 3 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the mounting rod 2. A fixing plate 4 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the mounting rod 2. A rotating plate 5 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the fixing plate 4. The rotating plate 5 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the mounting rod 2. A rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the rotating plate 5. Brush bristles 7 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 6. An annular cavity 15 is formed on the lower surface of the fixing plate 4. The upper end of the rotating rod 6 rotatably passes through the rotating plate 5 and extends into the interior of the annular cavity 15. A transmission mechanism is provided on the outside of the rotating rod 6. An air supply mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the mounting frame 1.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating plate 5, and a cleaning sponge 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 10. An annular water collection chamber 12 is opened inside the rotating plate 5, and a water outlet 13 is opened on the bottom wall of the annular water collection chamber 12. The water outlet 13 and the cleaning sponge 11 are positioned correspondingly.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a water supply pipe 14 is fixedly sleeved inside the fixing plate 4. The lower end of the water supply pipe 14 extends into the interior of the annular water collection chamber 12, and the upper end of the water supply pipe 14 passes through the mounting frame 1 and is connected to the external water supply equipment.

[0024] With this setup, water is connected to an external water supply device and a water pipe 14. Water will then enter the annular water collection chamber 12 through the water pipe 14 and drip through the water outlet 13 into the cleaning sponge 11 to moisten it. The cleaning sponge 11 can then be used to wipe the camera body 3.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a motor 9 is fixedly connected to the base plate surface of the mounting bracket 1, and the output shaft of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 10.

[0026] With this setup, starting the motor 9 via the external controller will drive the mounting plate 10 to rotate around the camera body 3, at which point the rotating plate 5 will also rotate.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the transmission mechanism includes a gear 16, which is located inside the annular chamber 15 and fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 6. The inner wall of the annular chamber 15 is fixedly connected with teeth 17, and the gear 16 is meshed with the fixed plate 4 through the teeth 17.

[0028] With this setup, when the rotating plate 5 drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, the gear 16 will also rotate inside the annular chamber 15. At this time, with the cooperation of the gear 16 and the teeth 17, the rotating rod 6 can be driven to rotate, so that the staff does not need to set up an additional drive interface to drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate. Finally, the solid cleaning sponge 11 first wipes the camera body 3, and then the brush bristles 7 are used to perform deep cleaning of the camera body 3, which effectively improves the cleaning effect of the camera body 3.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the air supply mechanism includes a fan body 19, which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting frame 1. A connecting pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fan body 19. The connecting pipe 18 passes through the top plate of the mounting frame 1, and the lower end of the connecting pipe 18 passes through the interior of the fixed plate 4.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the lower end of the connecting pipe 18 extends into the interior of the annular chamber 15 and communicates with the annular chamber 15.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the rotating rod 6 has an air supply channel 20 inside and an air outlet 8 on its surface. The air outlet 8 and the air supply channel 20 are connected.

[0032] With this setup, staff can start the fan body 19, allowing air to enter the annular chamber 15 through the connecting pipe 18, then enter the air supply channel 20 through the annular chamber 15, and blow it out from the air outlet 8 onto the surface of the camera body 3. This effectively removes loose dust and dries the surface quickly, preventing water stains from remaining on the surface of the camera body 3.

[0033] The dustproof camera with a cleaning mechanism provided by this utility model is used as follows: First, prepare for a wet wipe. The external water supply device sends clean water into the water supply pipe 14. After the water flows into the annular water collection chamber 12, it drips evenly onto the cleaning sponge 11 fixed on the surface of the mounting plate 10 through the water outlet 13 opened in the bottom wall, so that the cleaning sponge 11 is kept moderately moist.

[0034] Next, the cleaning action is started. The motor 9 is started by the external controller. The output shaft of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 10, thereby driving the mounting plate 10 and the rotating plate 5 fixedly connected to it to revolve around the mounting rod 2. The lower surface of the rotating plate 5 is simultaneously fixed with the cleaning sponge 11 and the rotating rod 6. Therefore, the cleaning sponge 11 contacts the surface of the camera body 3 and performs a revolution to wipe it, using the wet sponge to remove surface dust and stains.

[0035] While the rotating plate 5 revolves, the upper end of the rotating rod 6 rotates through the rotating plate 5 and extends into the annular cavity 15 opened on the lower surface of the fixed plate 4. A gear 16 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 6, and teeth 17 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular cavity 15. The gear 16 meshes with the teeth 17. Therefore, when the rotating plate 5 drives the rotating rod 6 to make a circular motion around the mounting rod 2, the gear 16 revolves in the annular cavity 15. Driven by the teeth 17, the gear 16 rotates itself, thereby driving the rotating rod 6 to rotate. The surface of the rotating rod 6 is fixed with bristles 7. The rotating bristles 7 perform deep brushing on the surface of the camera body 3, which can effectively remove firmly attached dry dust or sand particles.

[0036] During the cleaning process, the air supply mechanism works simultaneously. The airflow generated by the fan body 19 enters the annular chamber 15 through the connecting pipe 18. Since the rotating rod 6 has an air supply channel 20 inside and an air outlet 8 connected to the air supply channel 20 on its surface, the airflow enters the air supply channel 20 from the annular chamber 15 and finally blows onto the surface of the camera body 3 from the air outlet 8. This airflow blows away the loose dust swept off by the brush bristles 7 from the lens and quickly dries the water film remaining after wiping, preventing water stains from forming.

[0037] Throughout the process, the cleaning sponge 11 first performs wet wiping, followed by mechanical brushing by the rotating bristles 7, while the air outlet 8 continuously blows air to dry the surface. The three work together to achieve efficient and residue-free cleaning of the camera body 3.
