One end of the second fixed cylinder 9 is connected to the third electric telescopic rod 12 through a rotating device, and a camera 21 is provided on the side wall of one end of the surface of the first fixed cylinder 3.

[0027] Specifically, the first elastic telescopic device includes two first push plates 5, which are respectively slidably connected to the two ends of the first liquid guiding channel 4, and the side walls of the two first push plates 5 are fixedly connected with first sliding rods 8.

[0031] When cleaning a round tube, firstly, the third electric telescopic rod 12 is extended to move the disc 16 into the round tube, and the dirt in the round tube can be observed through the camera 21. When it is necessary to brush the inner wall of the round tube, the first electric telescopic rod 1 can be started to extend. The extension of the first electric telescopic rod 1 can push the pressure-conducting liquid to squeeze the two first push plates 5 through the first piston plate 2.

The extension of the second electric telescopic rod 15 can push the pressure-conducting liquid through the second piston plate 14 to squeeze the two second push plates 20. After the two second push plates 20 are pressed, they drive the second sliding rod 17 to extend, so that the two scrapers 18 are against the inner wall of the circular tube. Then, the servo motor 11 is started again. The servo motor 11 can drive the two scrapers 18 to rotate through the disc 16, so that the stubborn dirt on the inner wall of the circular tube can be scraped off.
