As shown in fig. 8 and fig. 9, a lens finder window is arranged in front of the lens J1, and is optical glass with high light transmittance, which is exposed outside for a long time, especially on a highly polluted ground, and the result is conceivable without a cleaning measure; in the embodiment, a transparent cleaning baffle 3001 is additionally arranged in front of the viewfinder and is jointly driven by a motor 3002 and a baffle opening and closing detection auxiliary component 3003-1; under the premise that the baffle opening and closing detection auxiliary component 3003-2 provides a stroke detection signal, the processor 1020 can drive the motor to control the opening and closing of the baffle as required at any time, and the mechanism can overcome the old and difficult problem that the viewfinder is easy to be polluted, and the principle is as follows: as shown in fig. 10, the opening and closing detection auxiliary of the barrier is composed of two parts 3003-1 and 3003-2, wherein the barrier 3003-1 has a driving shaft 3003-11 connected to the cleaning barrier 3001, a half-circle groove 3003-12 for triggering the stroke detection switch, and a transmission hole 3003-13 sleeved on the rotating shaft of the motor 3002; 3003-2 is a stroke detection switch that interacts with the half-turn grooves 3003-12 via contacts 3003-21 to generate a press/release trigger signal, which is output to the processor 1020 via signal pins 3003-22, thereby implementing closed-loop control.

A complete working flow of the apparatus of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, fig. 1 and fig. 2, is:

1. the voltage stabilizer 9-1 supplies power to the processor 1020 through the normal output 1, detects the arrival or departure information of the vehicle transmitted by the vehicle detector 103 independently installed at the specified position of the parking space through the 2.4GHz wireless transceiver 1212 and the transceiving antenna 1222 thereof according to the arrival or departure information of the vehicle and the internal input information acquired by the radar ranging module 16 at regular time, generates an image snapshot starting signal through comprehensive operation processing, and then sequentially outputs power supply to the motor drive control circuit 3002, the light supplement lamp and the control unit 193 thereof, the image sensor assembly 191 and the 4G wireless communication module 1211 according to the specified flow by using the voltage stabilizers 9-2 and 9-3 so as to enable the motor drive control circuit 3002, the light supplement lamp and the control unit 193 thereof, and the image sensor assembly 191 and the 4G wireless communication module 1211 to work in a controlled manner;

2. in the figure, a vehicle 100 enters a left berth and stops, the vehicle is restricted by a limiter 102 and stops at the berth, a vehicle detector 103 is immediately triggered to send vehicle arrival data to a license plate cloud recognition camera 101 associated with the vehicle arrival data and/or a radar ranging module 16 is triggered to detect vehicle arrival, the camera 101 is comprehensively operated to obtain an image acquisition starting signal, and then the vehicle enters a dormant state after the following steps 3-5 are carried out so as to save energy;

3. entering an image acquisition stage, firstly detecting and judging whether the average value of the output voltages of the solar panels 5-1, 5-2 and 5-3 is lower than a preset threshold value so as to determine whether a light supplement lamp B1 needs to be turned on before image data is acquired; on the premise that the barrier opening and closing detection auxiliary members 3003-1 and 3003-2 participate in linkage and provide a predetermined opening position stroke detection signal 1, the processor 1020 operates the motor 3002 through the motor drive control circuit, and indirectly drives the cleaning barrier 3001 to open towards the predetermined opening position through the motor 3003-1, as shown in fig. 11 and fig. 12, when the processor 1020 receives the detection signal 1, image data acquisition is immediately performed, specifically: if the fill light B1 needs to be turned on, the processor 1020 turns on the fill light B1 through the fill light control unit 193, projects a scene through a 4mm F1.2 fixed focus lens 1911 onto a GC0403 image sensor 1912 for imaging, further performs automatic exposure, automatic white balance and other processing on an SN9C5286 camera controller chip 1913, and turns off the turned-on fill light B1 after providing image frame data to the processor 1020 through a USB2.0 high-speed port using a UVC interface protocol;

4. after the image data acquisition is completed, on the premise that the baffle opening and closing detection auxiliary components 3003-1 and 3003-2 participate in linkage and provide the stroke detection signal 2 of the preset shutdown position, the processor 1020 continues to operate the motor 3002 through the motor driving control circuit, and indirectly drives the cleaning baffle 3001 to close towards the direction of the preset shutdown position through 3003-1, as shown in fig. 11 and fig. 12 on the right, the motor operation is immediately stopped when the detection signal 2 is received, so that the cleaning baffle 3001 seals and protects the J1 lens viewfinder;

5. the processor 1020 provides reported data containing image information required by vehicle plate identification, evidence collection and record and/or vehicle occupancy image detection to the cloud platform by using the 4G wireless communication module 1211 and the transceiving antenna 1221 thereof;

6. when the vehicle 100 leaves the parking space, the vehicle detector 103 is triggered to send vehicle leaving data to the associated license plate cloud recognition camera 101 and/or the radar ranging module 16 is triggered to detect vehicle leaving, the camera 101 is subjected to comprehensive operation processing to obtain an image acquisition starting signal, and the vehicle is switched to a dormant state after the steps 3-5 are carried out to save energy;

7. in the daytime, the solar cell panel 5 carries out MPPT high-efficiency charging on the energy storage device 7 through the energy acquisition chip 6, and daily electric energy is abundant enough to meet the requirement; in extreme cases, in case of insufficient solar charging and the situation that the voltage of the energy storage device 7 is lower than a preset threshold, the backup battery 4 charges the energy storage device 7 through the diode 8, so that the equipment can continuously and reliably operate for a long time.

The method that the processor 1020 operates the motor 3002 through the motor driving control circuit and the motor indirectly drives the cleaning baffle 3001 to open and close through the baffle opening and closing detection auxiliary component 3003-1 has the advantages that only one stroke detection switch 3003-2 and the motor 3002 need to operate in one direction, and the defect that the indirectly driven cleaning baffle 300has long service time, high frequency and high abrasion risk; another alternative is a method that the processor 1020 operates the motor 3002 through the motor driving control circuit, and the motor 3002 directly drives the cleaning baffle 3001 to open and close, which has the advantages that there is almost no wear risk and the baffle opening and closing detection auxiliary 3003-1 is not needed, and has the disadvantage that the motor 3002 needs to operate in two directions and simultaneously needs to be matched with the two stroke detection switches 3003 and 202, as shown in fig. 13, other aspects are substantially the same and will not be described again.
