[0032] The front tube 100 is composed of two shells, which have the same structure and can be assembled into the front tube 100. An inner cavity 102 is formed between the two shells, that is, the inner cavity 102 is transversely arranged in the front tube 100, and the inner cavity 102 of the front tube 100 is used to place the inner core 301. The end of the front tube 100 is also connected to a limiting cover 308, which is a conical structure and the end of the limiting cover 308 with a smaller cross section is connected to the end of the front tube 100. The limiting cover 308 is used to limit the gripper 305. An annular groove 103 is also provided at one end of the front tube 100 away from the limiting cover 308, and the annular groove 103 is connected to the inner cavity 102;
[0033] The rear tube 101 is also composed of two shells, which have the same structure and can be assembled into the rear tube 101. An inner cavity 102 is formed between the two shells, that is, the inner cavity 102 runs through the rear tube 101 horizontally. The inner cavity 102 of the rear tube 101 is used to place the inner core 301. A retaining ring is also provided at the end of the rear tube 101, and the retaining ring is used to apply force to it by hand. An annular groove 103 is also provided at one end of the rear tube 101 away from the retaining ring, and the annular groove 103 is communicated with the inner cavity 102;
[0034] The hose 200 is located between the front tube 100 and the rear tube 101. The hose 200 is connected between the front tube 100 and the rear tube 101. The hose 200 has an inner cavity 102. The inner cavity 102 of the hose 200 is used to place the inner core 301. Both ends of the hose 200 are provided with clamping rings 201 corresponding to the annular grooves 103. The clamping rings 201 can be placed in the annular grooves 103 in the front tube 100 or the rear tube 101, so as to achieve the effect of indirectly limiting the hose 200.
[0035] The inner core 301 is located in the inner cavity 102 of the front tube 100, the hose 200 and the rear tube 101. The inner cavity 102 can slide left and right in the inner cavity 102 of the front tube 100, the hose 200 and the rear tube 101. A guide rod 304 is also provided at the end of the inner core 301.

The spring 300 is sleeved on the guide rod 304, one end of the spring 300 abuts against the retaining ring, and the other end of the spring 300 abuts against the force-applying member 600; that is, the spring 300 can always push the force-applying member 600 to the end away from the rear tube 101.
[0036] A card block is provided at the end of the inner core 301. The card block is located at the end of the inner core 301 away from the guide rod 304, and the cross section of the card block is larger than the cross section of the inner cavity 102 on the front tube 100, that is, the card block will not retract into the inner cavity 102 during the process of the spring 300 indirectly driving the inner core 301 to move. A camera 302 and a lighting lamp 303 are provided on the end of the card block away from the inner core 301. The lighting lamp 303 can illuminate the narrow space, and the camera 302 can take pictures of the current situation in the narrow space after illumination.
[0037] A through hole is also provided on the rear tube 101, which is connected to the inner cavity 102. The camera 302 and the lighting lamp 303 are connected to the display screen through a wiring harness, and the wiring harness passes through the through hole.

The wiring harness passes through the through hole and is tied to the inner core 301, so as to avoid the inner core 301 and the wiring harness from being entangled on the inner core 301 during the continuous reciprocating movement.
[0038] The card block is also provided with a plurality of claws 305 ; the claws 305 are L-shaped structures, the claws 305 are connected to the side walls of the card block, and when the device is not in use, the claws 305 are located in the limiting cover 308 , and the limiting cover 308 can resist and limit the corners of the claws 305 .
[0039] When the utility model is in use, the lighting lamp 303 and the camera 302 are turned on through the display screen, the palm is pressed against the force-applying member 600, and the fingers are buckled on the retaining ring, and then the front tube 100 and the limiting cover 308 are inserted into the narrow space, and the limiting cover 308 is slowly pushed toward the object through the image through the camera 302. When the limiting cover 308 moves to the vicinity of the object, the force-applying member 600 is pressed against the retaining ring, and the force-applying member 600 can drive the guide rod 304 to move toward the inner cavity 102 of the rear tube 101, and the guide rod 304 can drive the inner core 301 to move, that is, the inner core 301 can move into the limiting cover 308, and the inner core 301 can push the block to move toward the end of the limiting cover 308 with a wider cross section. During the movement of the block, multiple grips are The claws 305 can be reset, and the ends of the claws 305 will be separated. Then, when the position of the object retriever is adjusted so that the object is located between the ends of the multiple claws 305, the force applied to the force-applying member 600 is canceled, and the spring 300 can push the force-applying member 600 to reset. During the resetting process of the force-applying member 600, the guide rod 304 and the inner core 301 can be driven to reset, and the inner core 301 can drive the card block to reset. During the resetting process of the card block, the multiple claws 305 can be driven to retract into the limiting cover 308. The middle part of the claws 305 will be in conflict with the inner wall of the limiting cover 308, so that the ends of the claws 305 are retracted together. The ends of the multiple claws 305 can collect the object in the limiting cover 308, and then the object retriever can be pulled out of the narrow space to complete the process of taking out the object.
[0040] And when the object retriever needs to be maintained, the front tube 100 and the rear tube 101 can be separated, and then the camera 302, the lighting lamp 303, the hose 200, etc. can be maintained or replaced.
[0041] Lighting lamp 303 Figure 4 As shown,
[0042] There are multiple lighting lamps 303 arranged in a circular array around the camera 302; the camera 302 is arranged at the center of the side wall of the card block, that is, the arrangement of the lighting lamps 303 can avoid blind spots of the camera 302 in a narrow space.
[0043] The connecting piece 306 is as follows Figure 4 As shown,
[0044] A connecting piece 306 is provided at the end of the gripper 305, and the connecting piece 306 is connected to the block by a plurality of bolts; the bolts are countersunk screws, that is, the connecting piece 306 can be fixed to the side wall of the block by the countersunk screws, so that the gripper 305 is fixed to the block, and the gripper 305 and the connecting piece 306 can be removed by removing the bolts, and then the gripper 305 can be replaced or maintained.
[0045] Limiting cover 308 Figure 1 As shown,
[0046] A threaded hole 307 is provided at one end of the front tube 100 away from the annular groove 103, and a thread is provided at the end of the limit cover 308 corresponding to the threaded hole 307. The limit cover 308 is connected to the front tube 100 through the thread and the threaded hole 307; that is, when the two shells form the front tube 100, the limit cover 308 can be installed on the end of the front tube 100 through the threaded hole 307 and the thread, and the limit cover 308 can also be removed from the end of the front tube 108 through the thread and the threaded hole 307.
[0047] Limiting piece 400 Figure 7 As shown,
[0048] A plurality of limiting members 400 are provided at one end of one of the shells of the front tube 100 and the rear tube 101, and corresponding limiting members 400 are provided with limiting holes 500 on the other shell of the front tube 100 and the rear tube 101; the limiting members 400 can be inserted into the limiting holes 500 to limit the two shells, so that the two shells can be connected and assembled into the front tube 100 or the rear tube 101.
[0049] The limiting hole 500 is a T-shaped structure, and the limiting member 400 is two limiting rods 401. The two limiting rods 401 can be inserted into the limiting hole 500. A limiting block 402 is provided at the end of the limiting rod 401, and the end of the limiting block 402 is an arc-shaped structure; the limiting rod 401 is set to a deformable plastic material, that is, when assembling the two shells together, multiple limiting members 400 need to be aligned with the limiting hole 500 and inserted. During the insertion process, the end of the limiting block 402 on the limiting member 400 can conflict with the end of the limiting hole 500. Under the effect of the conflict, the two limiting rods 401 will be deformed, thereby driving the two limiting rods 401 to deform. When the two limit blocks 402 move together, they can be inserted into the limit hole 500. When the limit block 402 moves to the end with a larger cross-section in the limit hole 500, the inner wall of the limit hole 500 no longer resists the limit block 402, so that the limit rod 401 can drive the limit block 402 to reset. After the limit block 402 is reset, the end portion can resist the inside of the limit hole 500, so that the limit member 400 will not fall off from the limit hole 500 without human manipulation, thereby achieving the effect of connecting the two shells together and facilitating disassembly and separation.
[0050] A rubber layer is sleeved on the outer side of the gripper 305; the rubber layer can increase the friction between the gripper 305 and the object, thereby making the gripping process of the multiple grippers 305 on the object more stable.
