Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipe network investigation, in particular to an endoscopy device used for sewage pipes with water. Background Art

[0002] For example, aging and corrosion of sewage pipes may cause pipes to leak or rupture, which can cause sewage to leak into underground or surface water bodies, causing environmental pollution and health risks. In some areas, rainwater may enter the sewage pipe system, causing the system to overload, and separating rainwater and wastewater flows may require more infrastructure to handle.

[0003] Therefore, the investigation of the sewage network plays a key role. The methods of investigating the sewage network can include the use of modern technologies such as CCTV and QV. CCTV technology can be used to conduct internal inspections by using cameras and lighting equipment inside the pipes. The QV system is a portable sewage pipe inspection technology that includes a portable camera and lighting equipment that can be inspected through a small hole or inspection well. Both of the above methods require blocking and pumping out the pipes in the early stage of the investigation to ensure that their equipment works without or with little water, which increases the difficulty of the work.

[0004] And when it comes to internal inspection and maintenance of sewage networks, submersibles are usually not the preferred tool because they are designed to move in underwater environments rather than operate in underground sewage pipes. In addition, the push of the equipment will greatly reduce the visibility of the sewage network, making it impossible to observe some conditions on the well wall, making operation difficult. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model designs an endoscopy device for sewage pipelines with water.

[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The invention discloses an endoscopic device for a sewage pipeline with water, comprising a track bracket, a power module, a visualization module and an onshore control module. The track bracket comprises a camera slide rail and a slide rail bracket. The camera slide rail is a circular ring structure. The visualization module comprises a camera assembly.

The tooth grooves are provided with racks. The camera assembly is arranged in the camera assembly moving grooves. A camera rotating motor is installed on the camera assembly. A gear is installed at the output end of the camera rotating motor. The gear cooperates with the rack. The camera assembly is controlled by the camera rotating motor to move along the camera assembly moving groove to a designated position to acquire an image. The slide rail brackets are provided in plurality and are respectively installed on the camera slide rails for supporting between the pipe wall and the camera slide rail. The slide rails are driven by the mobile motor in the power module to realize the movement of the camera slide rail in the pipe wall. The onshore control module is used to display the image acquired by the camera assembly in the pipe wall of the water-carrying pipeline.

[0008] Preferably, a moving motor and a moving wheel group are respectively installed on the slide rail bracket, and the moving motor controls the moving wheel group to realize the movement of the camera slide rail in the pipe wall.

[0009] Preferably, the power module includes a camera rotating motor and a moving motor, and the camera rotating motor and the moving motor are respectively waterproof motors.

[0010] Preferably, slide grooves are provided on both sides of the camera slide rail, and slide rails are correspondingly provided on the camera assembly, and the slide rails are inserted into the slide grooves for sliding connection.

[0011] Preferably, the camera assembly also includes a light source lamp board and a high-definition camera module, and a waterproof cover is installed outside the light source lamp board and the high-definition camera module.

[0012] Preferably, the onshore control module includes a visualization screen, a battery, a remote controller and a cable reel, which are used to provide power and control for the underwater power module and display images acquired by the camera assembly inside the wall of the water pipeline.

[0013] Preferably, three metal pillars are firmly installed in the middle of the camera slide rail.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: (1) It adopts an innovative method of working with water, and the introduction of this equipment makes the inspection and maintenance of sewage pipes more efficient and feasible. Traditional pipeline inspection may require cutting off the water supply or drainage, which brings inconvenience to cities and communities. The present endoscopic equipment allows working in water without cutting off the water supply or drainage service. This not only reduces inconvenience, but also improves the continuity of water supply and drainage systems; (2) Traditional pipeline inspection methods may require a lot of resources, including manpower, time and equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0024] Example: Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, an endoscopic device for sewage pipelines with water includes a track bracket, a power module, a visualization module and an onshore control module. The track bracket includes a camera slide 1 and a slide bracket 2. The power module is composed of eight moving motors and one camera rotating motor, a total of nine waterproof motors 3. The visualization module is composed of a camera assembly, and the camera assembly includes a high-definition camera module 11, a light source lamp board 12 and a waterproof cover 13. The controller controls the moving motor and the camera rotating motor respectively. When the present invention is in use, the slide rail is lowered to a specified depth, the moving motor and the camera rotating motor are controlled, and the camera assembly is moved to a specified position for shooting, so as to obtain image data of a specified position inside the sewage pipe network, and realize the acquisition of images of the pipe wall of the water-carrying pipeline.

[0025] The camera slide rail 1 is a circular ring structure, with three metal columns 4 in the middle for stability; the camera slide rail is an aluminum alloy structure. The slide rail bracket 2 provides support for the camera slide rail 1, preventing the camera slide rail 1 from contacting the pipe wall 18, and at the same time, a moving motor 3 and a moving wheel set 5 are installed at the contact point with the pipe wall. The slide rail bracket is an aluminum alloy structure, and the moving wheel set is a plastic rubber wheel set. The visualization module includes a camera assembly, a circle of camera assembly moving grooves 7 are arranged on the outer ring surface of the camera slide rail, a tooth groove 8 is arranged in the camera assembly moving groove 7, a rack is arranged in the tooth groove 8, a camera assembly is arranged in the camera assembly moving groove 7, a camera rotating motor is installed on the camera assembly, a gear 9 is installed at the output end of the camera rotating motor, and the gear 9 cooperates with the rack. The camera assembly is controlled by the camera rotating motor and moves along the camera assembly moving groove 7 to a designated position to obtain an image. The slide rail bracket 2 has eight, which are respectively installed on the camera slide rail 1, used to support between the pipe wall 18 and the camera slide rail 1, and driven by the moving motor in the power module to realize the movement of the camera slide rail in the pipe wall. The camera assembly includes a high-definition image module 11, a light source lamp board 12, a waterproof cover 13 and a visualization screen 14. The light source lamp board 12 can provide a variety of light sources, including red, yellow and white light, and has slide rails 10 on both sides of the outside, which can slide along the slide groove 6 on the camera slide rail 1. The onshore control module includes a visualization screen 14, a battery 16, a remote control 15 and a cable drum 17, which provide power and control for multiple underwater motors. The onshore control module is used to display the image obtained by the camera assembly in the wall of the water-carrying pipeline.

[0026] When in use, connect the circuit and do a good job of testing before going down the well to ensure that the motor and camera are operating normally. According to the diameter of the pipeline to be investigated, select a camera slide rail 1 of a specific size, install the slide rail bracket 2, install the camera assembly, and engage the slide rail of the camera assembly with the slide groove on the camera slide rail for sliding connection. Lower the camera slide rail 1 together with the slide rail bracket 2 to the specified position, ensure that the camera slide rail 1 is perpendicular to the pipeline to be inspected, and the slide rail bracket 2 ensures that the position is relatively fixed, providing power to the camera slide rail 1. At the same time, the slide rail bracket 2 provides a distance for the camera slide rail 1 to prevent the slide rail and the camera assembly from directly contacting the pipe wall 18.

[0027] The mobile motor on the slide bracket is controlled by the remote control to drive the mobile wheel group to the specified position, and the camera is controlled to rotate on the moving slot of the camera assembly. A suitable light source is selected to ensure the clarity of the image. The rotation speed should not be too fast. The observers on the well observe in real time. Since the camera is close to the well wall, the observers can clearly see the condition of the pipe wall and whether there are cracks and deformations. Finally, the location of the problem point is determined by lowering the cable length.

[0028] For vertical pipelines, find brackets and fixing points on the well, select slide brackets and camera slides of appropriate sizes, and at the same time, ensure that the camera slide is lowered steadily and perpendicular to the pipeline. The speed should not be too fast to ensure a clear image.

[0029] When the utility model is in use, the conventional CCTV cannot perform pipe climbing operations due to the high liquid level in the sewage pipe network. At the same time, due to the high turbidity of the sewage pipe network, the pipeline situation cannot be clearly seen using a single wide-angle high-definition camera, and close observation is required. The endoscopic equipment provides a method for preliminary detection of the pipeline in the presence of water, which reduces the investigation time, avoids blockage of each section of the pipe network, and avoids the work of divers, etc., thereby improving safety and reducing costs.

[0030] The above-described embodiment is only a preferred solution of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. There are other variations and modifications without exceeding the technical solution described in the claims.
