Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of endoscope equipment, and in particular relates to a panoramic crawler for an industrial endoscope. Background Art

[0002] Industrial endoscope inspection is a type of visual inspection in nondestructive testing. The biggest difference between industrial endoscope inspection and other nondestructive testing methods is that it can directly reflect the conditions of the inner and outer surfaces of the inspected object (such as cracks, burrs, welds and other inner surface quality) without disassembling the inspected object. During the inspection, we can use industrial endoscope equipment to record the entire inspection process dynamically by video or photograph, and can quantitatively analyze the defects found, and measure the length, area and other data of the defects.

[0003] However, when using existing endoscopes, workers are often required to hold the endoscope and push it inward little by little. When encountering a place where a turn is required, it is often difficult for workers to push it, causing inconvenience in use. Therefore, an industrial endoscope panoramic crawler is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an industrial endoscope panoramic crawler to solve the problem that the existing endoscopes mentioned in the above background technology are difficult to use when they encounter places where they need to turn.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a panoramic crawler for an industrial endoscope, comprising a base, a crawling structure, a clamping structure and a remote control, the front side of the base being fixedly connected to a fixing plate, a wireless module being installed on the top of the fixing plate, the rear side of the base being fixedly connected to a battery bracket, a lithium battery being installed on the top of the battery bracket, crawling structures being installed on both the left and right sides of the base, and a clamping structure being installed on the top of the base.

[0008] Preferably, the second support plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base, the second support plate is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the second roller, and the second roller is connected to the first roller via a track.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping structure includes a clamping plate 1, a rubber pad 1, a limiting rod, a threaded rod, a hand-tightening nut, a clamping plate 2 and a rubber pad 2, and the clamping plate 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the base.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the first clamping plate is fixedly connected to the first rubber pad, the left and right sides of the first clamping plate are fixedly connected to two limit rods, and the limit rods are slidably connected to the second clamping plate.

[0011] Preferably, both left and right ends of the first clamp are rotatably connected to threaded rods, the threaded rods are threadedly connected to the second clamp, the top of the threaded rods is fixedly connected to a hand nut, and the bottom of the second clamp is fixedly connected to a rubber pad.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. This kind of industrial endoscope panoramic crawler is provided with a crawling structure, which transmits signals to the wireless module through the remote control to control the switch of the motor. When the endoscope needs to enter the pipeline, the motor is turned on to make the motor drive the rotating shaft 1 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 1 drives the roller 1 to rotate. The roller 1 drives the roller 2 to rotate through the crawler track, thereby driving the base to move forward. The crawler track facilitates the crossing of the groove in the pipeline to prevent the roller from being stuck in the groove in the pipeline. When turning is required, such as turning to the right, the motor at the right end is reversed, so that the rollers 1 and 2 at the right end drive the base to move backward, and the base of the rollers 1 and 2 at the left end moves forward, thereby realizing the rightward rotation of the base. The crawling structure can drive the base to move forward, and the left and right turning of the base can be controlled to facilitate reaching the inspected part.

[0014] 2. This industrial endoscope panoramic crawler is provided with a clamping structure. The endoscope is placed between rubber pad one and rubber pad two. The hand nut is turned to make the hand nut drive the threaded rod to rotate. Since the clamp plate two is restricted by the limit rod and can only move up and down, the threaded rod drives the clamp plate two to move downward, and the friction between the limit rod and the clamp plate two provides resistance. The endoscope is clamped by rubber pad two and rubber pad one. The clamping structure makes it easy to clamp endoscopes of different diameters, which is convenient for use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides an embodiment: an industrial endoscope panoramic crawler, including a base 1, a crawling structure 2, a clamping structure 3 and a remote control 4. The front side of the base 1 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 11, and a wireless module 12 is installed on the top of the fixing plate 11. The rear side of the base 1 is fixedly connected to a battery bracket 13, and a lithium battery 14 is installed on the top of the battery bracket 13. The crawling structure 2 is installed on both sides of the base 1, and the clamping structure 3 is installed on the top of the base 1.

[0023] The crawling structure 2 includes a support plate 21, a motor 22, a rotating shaft 23, a roller 24, a support plate 25, a rotating shaft 26, a roller 27 and a track 28. The support plate 21 is fixedly connected to the front side of the base 1. The crawling structure 2 can drive the base 1 to move forward, and can control the left and right turns of the base 1 to facilitate reaching the detected part.

[0024] The left side of the support plate 21 is fixedly connected to the motor 22 , the driving shaft of the motor 22 passes through the support plate 21 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 23 , the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the support plate 21 , and the rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the roller 24 .

[0025] The support plate 25 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base 1, and the support plate 25 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 26, and the rotating shaft 26 is fixedly connected to the roller 27. The roller 27 is connected to the roller 1 24 through the track 28. The motor 22 is turned on to make the motor 22 drive the rotating shaft 1 23 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 1 23 drives the roller 1 24 to rotate. The roller 1 24 drives the roller 2 27 to rotate through the track 28, thereby driving the base 1 to move forward. The track 28 is convenient for crossing the groove in the pipeline to prevent the roller from being stuck in the groove in the pipeline. When turning, such as turning to the right, the motor 22 at the right end is reversed, so that the roller 1 24 and the roller 2 27 at the right end drive the base 1 to move backward, and the base 1 with the roller 1 24 and the roller 2 27 at the left end moves forward, thereby realizing the rightward rotation of the base 1.

[0026] The clamping structure 3 includes a clamping plate 1 31, a rubber pad 1 32, a limiting rod 33, a threaded rod 34, a hand-tightening nut 35, a clamping plate 2 36 and a rubber pad 2 37. The clamping plate 1 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The clamping structure 3 is convenient for clamping endoscopes of different diameters, which is easy to use.

[0027] The top of the first clamping plate 31 is fixedly connected to the rubber pad 1 32 , and the left and right sides of the first clamping plate 31 are fixedly connected to two limit rods 33 , and the limit rods 33 are slidably connected to the second clamping plate 36 .

[0028] The left and right ends of the clamp plate 1 31 are rotatably connected to the threaded rod 34, the threaded rod 34 is threadedly connected to the clamp plate 2 36, the top of the threaded rod 34 is fixedly connected to the hand nut 35, and the bottom of the clamp plate 2 36 is fixedly connected to the rubber pad 2 37. The endoscope is placed between the rubber pad 1 32 and the rubber pad 2 37, and the hand nut 35 is rotated to make the hand nut 35 drive the threaded rod 34 to rotate. Since the clamp plate 2 36 is restricted by the limit rod 33 and can only move up and down, the threaded rod 34 drives the clamp plate 2 36 to move downward, and the friction between the limit rod 33 and the clamp plate 2 36 provides resistance, and the endoscope is clamped by the rubber pad 2 37 and the rubber pad 1 32.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] When in use, the endoscope is placed between the rubber pad 1 32 and the rubber pad 2 37, and the hand nut 35 is turned to make the hand nut 35 drive the threaded rod 34 to rotate. Since the clamping plate 2 36 is limited by the limit rod 33 and can only move up and down, the threaded rod 34 drives the clamping plate 2 36 to move downward, and the friction between the limit rod 33 and the clamping plate 2 36 provides resistance. The endoscope is clamped by the rubber pad 2 37 and the rubber pad 1 32. The clamping structure 3 is convenient for clamping endoscopes of different diameters, which is easy to use. The signal is transmitted to the wireless module 12 through the remote control 4, thereby controlling the switch of the motor 22. When the endoscope needs to enter the pipeline, the motor 22 is turned on to make the motor 2 2 drives the rotating shaft 1 23 to rotate, the rotating shaft 1 23 drives the roller 1 24 to rotate, the roller 1 24 drives the roller 2 27 to rotate through the crawler 28, thereby driving the base 1 to move forward, and the crawler 28 is convenient for crossing the groove in the pipeline to prevent the roller from being stuck in the groove in the pipeline. When it is necessary to turn, for example, when turning to the right, the motor 22 at the right end is reversed, so that the roller 1 24 and the roller 2 27 at the right end drive the base 1 to move backward, and the roller 1 24 and the roller 2 27 at the left end of the base 1 move forward, thereby realizing the rightward rotation of the base 1. The base 1 can be driven forward by the crawling structure 2, and the left and right turning of the base 1 can be controlled to facilitate reaching the detected part.
