The camera 5 transmits the captured image to the LCD display screen 8. The staff can view the image captured by the camera 5 through the LCD display screen 8.

[0024] Working principle: When the intelligent pull-rod type wireless video inspection device conducts wireless video inspection, rotate the first locking bolt 14. The end of the first locking bolt 14 is separated from the second sleeve 12. Pull the second sleeve 12. The second sleeve 12 slides inside the first sleeve 11, and the length of the second sleeve 12 extending outside the first sleeve 11 changes. Rotate the second locking bolt 15. The end of the second locking bolt 14 is separated from the support rod 13. Pull the support rod 13. The support rod 13 slides inside the second sleeve 12, and the length of the support rod 13 extending outside the second sleeve 12 changes. Then, adjust the height of the camera 5 to make the camera 5 at the required height. Rotate the first locking bolt 14 and the second locking bolt 15 in the reverse direction. The first locking bolt 14 relatively fixes the positions of the first sleeve 11 and the second sleeve 12, and the second sleeve 12 and the support rod 13 are relatively fixed, realizing the adjustment of the height of the camera 5. The metal bellows 16 can be bent. Move the camera 5 to make the camera 7 face the direction to be inspected. The staff holds the handle 2. The convex ribs 9 increase the friction between the staff's hand and the handle 2. Insert the camera 5 into the position where wireless video inspection is required. The camera 5 transmits the captured image to the LCD display screen 8. The staff can view the image captured by the camera 5 through the LCD display screen 8; Camera rotation stage: When it is necessary to change the shooting direction, rotate the rotating wheel 403. The rotating wheel 403 drives the worm 402 to rotate. The worm 402 drives the worm wheel 404 to rotate. The worm wheel 404 drives the rotating rod 405 to rotate. The rotating rod 405 drives the disc 406 to rotate. The disc 406 drives the first sleeve 11 to rotate, and then drives the camera 5 to rotate, which can ensure the clarity and continuity of the captured picture. There is a self-locking function between the worm 402 and the worm wheel 404. When the worm 402 is not rotated, the worm wheel 404 will not rotate. By manually rotating the camera 5, on the one hand, it does not occupy the drive source, and on the other hand, it does not need to use power supply, thus reducing the use cost of the inspection equipment. When the shooting light is dim, the lighting lamp 6 can be turned on through the button 7 to assist the camera 5 in inspection. When danger occurs, the emergency alarm button in the button 9 can be used to quickly turn on the alarm 10; Protection stage: When the camera 5 is used for shooting, a protection mechanism 3 is arranged outside the camera 5. When colliding with an external object, first, the arc-shaped plate 304 contacts the external object. The arc-shaped plate 304 drives the slide rod 302 to move. The slide rod 302 slides inside the first support 301. At the same time, the slide rod 302 compresses the spring 304. The spring 304 buffers the received force, avoiding the transmission of the collision force to the camera 5 and playing a protective role for the camera 5. During inspection, it is avoided that the camera 5 collides with an external object and causes damage to the camera 5; During inspection, the electrical components inside the device are controlled through the button 7. The LED display screen 8 displays the picture captured by the camera 5 to achieve an intelligent effect. The first sleeve 11, the second sleeve 12 and the support rod 13 can be telescoped to achieve a pull rod effect, and then an intelligent pull rod type wireless video inspection device is realized.
