Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to a rainproof highway monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Highway monitoring equipment mainly relies on hardware facilities such as cameras, radar, and sensors to collect traffic information. It is mainly used for real-time monitoring of road traffic conditions, ensuring road safety, recording traffic accidents, and conducting traffic flow analysis.

[0003] Currently, there are various types of highway monitoring equipment on the market. However, when encountering rainy or snowy weather, these devices are easily affected by rainwater, dirt, and other factors, leading to a decline in image quality and consequently affecting the effectiveness of traffic management and safety monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the problem that some devices on the market are easily affected by rain, dirt, and other factors when encountering rain or snow, leading to a decrease in image quality and thus affecting the effectiveness of traffic management and security monitoring. Therefore, it provides a rainproof highway monitoring device.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a rainproof highway monitoring device, comprising a body, a transmission mechanism, and a limiting mechanism. The transmission mechanism is located inside the body, and the limiting mechanism is located at the upper end of the body. The body includes a shell, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell, a support column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, and a base is fixedly connected to one side of the support column. A main body is installed inside the shell, a rain sensor is installed on one side of the main body, a transparent plate is fixedly connected to one side inside the shell, the base is located on the side away from the transparent plate, and the transparent plate is located on the outside of the main body.

[0006] The rain sensor, model SR-, is an optical rain sensor that can determine whether it is raining by detecting the change in reflection when raindrops fall on the sensor surface, and then transmit the signal to the drive motor.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the transmission mechanism includes threaded rods rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of one side of the housing. Each threaded rod has a movable block threadedly connected to its surface. A fixed plate is provided on the outer side of each threaded rod. A slider is fixedly connected to the outer side of each movable block. A scraper is fixedly connected between the sliders. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each threaded rod. A belt is installed between the connecting shafts. A drive motor for rotating the threaded rods is installed inside the housing. Each movable block is slidably connected inside the housing. Each fixed plate is located inside the movable blocks. Each threaded rod is located on the side closest to the transparent plate. The drive motor is located at the top of one of the threaded rods.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the fixing plate is fixedly connected inside the shell, which can prevent the threaded rod from being corroded by rainwater to a certain extent, and the belt can make the threaded rod rotate synchronously to ensure the stability of the device operation.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the limiting mechanism includes a baffle fixedly connected to the upper end of the housing, and a groove is provided at the bottom of one side of the baffle. The groove is located on the side close to the transparent plate, and the scraper is located inside the groove.

[0010] With the above technical solution, the scraper is used to remove rainwater from the transparent plate, and it will be located inside the groove when the scraper stops running.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention incorporates a transmission mechanism. When it rains, a rain sensor detects raindrops and transmits a signal to a drive motor. The drive motor then starts and rotates a threaded rod. This rotation, via a connecting shaft and belt, drives another threaded rod to rotate synchronously, causing the moving plate to rise and fall synchronously. This ensures the scraper moves stably, effectively removing rainwater from the transparent plate. The fixed plate also blocks raindrops to some extent, preventing the threaded rods from being exposed to rainwater for extended periods, reducing the risk of corrosion and damage, and extending the equipment's lifespan.

[0013] This utility model, by setting a limiting mechanism, removes raindrops from the transparent plate when the rain stops, and the slider drives the scraper back to the groove under the baffle for protection. This prevents the scraper from being damaged by prolonged exposure to the external environment, ensures that the equipment is in a protected state when not in use, extends its service life, and further improves its actual effectiveness.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0022] Example:

[0023] Please combine Figure 1-5 This embodiment of a rainproof highway monitoring device includes a body 1, a transmission mechanism 2, and a limiting mechanism 3. The transmission mechanism 2 is located inside the body 1, and the limiting mechanism 3 is located at the upper end of the body 1. The body 1 includes a shell 11, a connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 11, a support column 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 12, and a base 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the support column 13. A main body 16 is installed inside the shell 11, a rain sensor 17 is installed on one side of the main body 16, and a transparent plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side inside the shell 11. The base 14 is located on the side away from the transparent plate 15, and the transparent plate 15 is located on the outside of the main body 16. The support column 13 supports the shell 11 through the connecting plate 12 to ensure the stable operation of the main body 16. The rain sensor 17 can detect rainwater in a timely manner and send a signal to the transmission mechanism 2.

[0024] The transmission mechanism 2 includes threaded rods 21 rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of one side inside the housing 11. Moving blocks 22 are threadedly connected to the surface of each threaded rod 21. Fixed plates 23 are provided on the outer sides of each threaded rod 21. Slider blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of each moving block 22. Scraper blades 25 are fixedly connected between the sliders 24. Connecting shafts 26 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of each threaded rod 21. Belts 27 are installed between the connecting shafts 26. A drive motor 28 for driving the threaded rods 21 to rotate is installed inside the housing 11. The moving blocks 22 are slidably connected inside the housing 11. The fixed plates 23 are located inside the moving blocks 22. The threaded rods 21 are located on the side closest to the transparent plate 15. The drive motor 28 is located at the top of one of the threaded rods 21. The scraper blades 25 can repeatedly sweep and brush the transparent plate 15 to remove rainwater, ensuring that the transparent plate 15 is not obscured by rainwater, avoiding blurry images, and ensuring that the monitoring equipment can work clearly even in rainy weather.

[0025] The limiting mechanism 3 includes a baffle 31 fixedly connected to the upper end of the housing 11. A groove 32 is provided at the bottom of one side of the baffle 31. The groove 32 is located on the side close to the transparent plate 15. The scraper 25 is located inside the groove 32. The baffle 31 can prevent most rainwater from directly wetting the housing 11 when the equipment is running, which further improves the actual effect.

[0026] The implementation principle of a rainproof highway monitoring device in this embodiment is as follows: The base 14 is fixed to the support frame, allowing the monitoring device to capture images of the highway surface. The support column 13 supports the housing 11 via the connecting plate 12, ensuring the stable operation of the main body 16. When it rains, rainwater continuously wets the transparent plate 15. The rain sensor 17 detects the raindrops and sends a signal to the drive motor 28. The drive motor 28 then starts when an external power source is connected. The drive motor 28 drives one of the threaded rods 21 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 26 at the bottom of the threaded rod 21 also rotates. The rotating connecting shaft 26, via a belt 27, drives the other connecting shaft 26 to rotate, thus rotating the other threaded rod 21. This allows the two threaded rods 21 to rotate synchronously. The rotating threaded rods 21 drive their respective moving blocks 22 to rise and fall. The moving block 22 can drive the slider 24 to rise and fall together, thereby allowing the scraper 25 between the sliders 24 to rise and fall stably. The fixed plate 23 is located outside the threaded rod 21, which can block raindrops to a certain extent and prevent the threaded rod 21 from being damaged by rainwater for a long time. The reciprocating scraper 25 can continuously sweep the transparent plate 15, thereby sweeping the raindrops off the transparent plate 15 to ensure the clarity of the transparent plate 15 and prevent blurry images caused by rainwater blocking the transparent plate 15. When the rain stops, after the raindrops on the transparent plate 15 are swept clean, the slider 24 can drive the scraper 25 back into the groove 32 of the baffle 31 to protect the scraper 25 from being affected by the external environment for a long time. The baffle 31 on the housing 11 can block most of the rainwater, thereby further protecting the housing 11 and the internal main body 16. The whole process is automated, which further improves the actual effect.

[0027] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
