[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0038] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.

[0039] The present application embodiment discloses a pipe network detection tool. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pipeline detection tool includes a distance measuring component 1 with a scale 1-1, and a folding component 2 rotatably connected to one end of the distance measuring component 1; the distance measuring component 1 is connected to a limiting structure for limiting the rotation range of the folding component 2, and the folding component 2 is connected to a detection component 4 for detecting the direction of the pipeline 6.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to achieve a stable connection between the folding component 2 and the ranging component 1, in the present embodiment, a connecting piece for connecting the ranging component 1 and the folding component 2 is provided between the ranging component 1 and the folding component 2, one of the ranging component 1 and the folding component 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting piece, and the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the extension direction of the scale 1-1 on the ranging component 1, and the other of the ranging component 1 and the folding component 2 is detachably connected to the connecting piece.

[0041] As a preferred example, Figure 3As shown, both the distance measuring component 1 and the folding component 2 are preferably in the shape of a square rod, and the connecting member is selected as a connecting frame 5, which can be sleeved on the peripheral side of the distance measuring component 1 and detachably locked on the distance measuring component 1 by bolts 10, and one outer end of the connecting frame 5 is rotatably connected to the folding component 2 by a hinge shaft. In other embodiments, the connecting member can be selected as a connecting seat with a rotating shaft, which is detachably mounted on the side of the distance measuring component 1 by screws, and the rotating shaft on the connecting seat is rotatably connected to the folding component 2. It should be noted that the rotation axis of the folding component 2 is preferably perpendicular to the extension direction of the scale 1-1.

[0042] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes but is not limited to a plate, a rod or other supporting limiting components that can be used to limit the range of motion of the folding component 2. Preferably, in this embodiment, the limiting structure includes a limiting plate 3 fixed to the end of the distance measuring component 1 and protruding from the side of the distance measuring component 1. When the folding component 2 is rotated and adjusted to fit the upper end surface of the limiting plate 3, the folding component 2 and the distance measuring component 1 are perpendicular to each other, so that the unfolded folding component 2 and the distance measuring component 1 are L-shaped as a whole. When the device needs to be stored, the folding component 2 can be rotated to make the folding component 2 parallel to the distance measuring component 1.

[0043] Furthermore, the distance measuring component 1 in the detection tool can be a telescopic rod with adjustable length, preferably a telescopic tower ruler, so that the staff can adjust the length of the distance measuring component 1 according to the depth of the well hole to be detected.

[0044] Further, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, in order to accurately detect the pipeline network, the detection component 4 includes a first imager and a direction indicator connected to the folding part 2. The detection directions of the first imager and the direction indicator are aligned with the length direction of the folding part 2. The first imager is used for imaging, and the direction indicator can measure the azimuth of the pipeline 6.

[0045] The first imager and the direction indicator are arranged on the side of the folding part 2 and fixed with screws, so that the detection component 4 is detachably connected to the folding part 2. It should be noted that when the folding part 2 and the ranging part 1 are L-shaped as a whole, the upper end surface of the first imager and the direction indicator should not protrude from the upper end surface of the folding part 2, and the lower end surface of the first imager and the direction indicator should not protrude from the lower end surface of the folding part 2.

[0046] Further, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, the detection tool also includes a second imager 9, which is detachably connected to the distance measuring component 1. When the distance measuring component 1 is lowered into the well 7, the detection direction of the second imager 9 is downward, and the bottom environment in the well 7 can be imaged to provide image data for detection, making the tool particularly suitable for detection work in complex multi-pipeline intersection wells.

[0047] Furthermore, the detection tool also includes a light source for illumination connected to the distance measuring component 1 and / or the folding component 2. Preferably, one light source can be connected to the side of the folding component 2, and its illumination direction is consistent with the detection direction of the first imager; another light source can be connected to the side of the distance measuring component 1, and its illumination direction is consistent with the detection direction of the second imager 9. Preferably, in some embodiments, one light source can be integrated with the first imager and the direction indicator into an integrated structure so as to be installed together on the side of the folding component 2. And another light source can also be integrated with the second imager into an integrated structure.

[0048] It should be noted that the first imager and the second imager 9 include but are not limited to underwater cameras, and the direction indicator includes but is not limited to an underwater electronic compass. The first imager and the direction indicator can be connected to the display terminal by radio, or connected to the display by cable 8. When the cable 8 is selected, the cable 8 can be wired along the distance measuring component 1 and the folding component 2 using electrical tape. In addition, a wiring hole can be opened in the distance measuring component 1, so that the cable 8 can pass through the wiring hole for wiring.
