[0033] Embodiment Three: Refer to Figures 1-7 , An LED lamp 8 is arranged inside the lighting tube 6. The lighting end of the LED lamp 8 is arranged towards the optical PC lens 7. The LED lamp 8 is connected with a fixing mechanism, and the fixing mechanism is in threaded connection with the internal thread of the lighting tube 6.
[0034] The principle and beneficial effects of the above solution are as follows:
[0035] The optical PC lens 7 provides protection for the LED lamp 8 inside the lighting tube 6 and increases its service life.

When adjusting the height of the guide wheel 5 relative to the housing 1, loosen the positioning nut 14. With the positioning bolt 13 inserted and fitted in the positioning hole and the second positioning hole, rotate the other end of the support foot body 11, and then the height of the guide wheel 5 can be adjusted. When its height is adjusted in place, rotate the positioning nut 14 again, and the positioning nut 14 and the positioning bolt 13 clamp the support foot body 11 and the connecting plate 12 again to fix the support foot body 11, and the stability of the guide wheel 5 rolling in the pipeline can be improved.

[0047] The principle and beneficial effects of the above solution are as follows:
[0048] A thimble connecting plate 15 and a slip ring connecting plate 16 are installed at intervals in the mounting hole. One side of the power supply end of the camera is connected to one side of the thimble connecting plate 15 through a second wire, and one side of the signal end of the camera is connected to one side of the slip ring connecting plate 16 through a third wire. Based on the prior art, it can be known that the other side of the thimble connecting plate 15 can be connected to the power supply end, and the other side of the slip ring connecting plate 16 can be connected to the signal receiving device. The signal receiving device can be a display or a computer, etc., so as to realize the exploration of the inside of the pipeline. By arranging the thimble connecting plate 15 and the slip ring connecting plate 16 at intervals in the mounting hole, the internal space of the device is fully utilized.
[0049] Example Eight: Refer to Figures 1-7 , the fixing mechanism includes: a fixing screw tube 17. The internal thread is threadedly connected to the fixing screw tube 17. An LED lamp 8 is slidably connected in the opening at the end of the fixing screw tube 17. The opening at the end of the fixing screw tube 17 faces the optical PC lens 7. The bottom end of a guiding column 18 is connected to the side wall of the LED lamp 8, and the other end side wall of the guiding column 18 is in contact and cooperation with the inner wall of the guiding groove. The opening end of the guiding groove faces the fixing screw tube 17. The guiding groove is formed on the convex block on the inner wall of the lighting tube 6.
[0050] The principle and beneficial effects of the above solution are as follows:
[0051] An LED lamp 8 is slidably connected in the opening at the end of the fixing screw tube 17, reducing the difficulty of connection between the two. Before installing the fixing screw tube 17, the LED lamp 8 is first placed in the lighting tube 6, and the other end side wall of the guiding column 18 is in contact and cooperation with the inner wall of the guiding groove, improving the accuracy after the threaded connection between the fixing screw tube 17 and the lighting tube 6.
[0052] Example Nine: Refer to Figures 1-7, a piston disc 19 is installed on the wire. The piston disc 19 is in sliding and sealing contact with the inner wall of the fixed solenoid 17. The wire is in sliding connection with the wire hole on the sealing disc 20 of the fixed solenoid 17. One end of a spring 21 is installed on the piston disc 19, and the other end of the spring 21 is in sliding connection with the sealing disc 20. The end of a transfer pipe 22 is installed on the sealing disc 20. The wire hole two at the other end of the transfer pipe 22 is in sliding connection with the wire. The sealing disc 20 is penetrated with an air guide hole. An air guide hole two is opened on the side wall of the transfer pipe 22. The air guide hole two is communicated with an air guide hole three. The air guide hole three is opened on a hollow rubber ring 23. The hollow rubber ring 23 is sleeved on the transfer pipe 22. The side wall of the hollow rubber ring 23 is in contact and cooperation with the internal thread.
[0053] The principle and beneficial effects of the above solution are as follows:
[0054] When the thread connection of the fixed solenoid 17 is carried out, the piston disc 19 moves towards the sealing disc 20. While the spring 21 is compressed, its other end is in rotational cooperation with the sealing disc 20. At the same time, with the installation of the fixed solenoid 17, the space between the optical PC lens 7 and the open end of the fixed solenoid 17 decreases and the pressure increases. The air between the optical PC lens 7 and the LED lamp 8 enters into the fixed solenoid 17. After the side wall of the LED lamp 8 is in sliding cooperation with the fixed solenoid 17, the open end of the fixed solenoid 17 is sealed. By sucking the air in the lighting pipe 6, it can prevent the moisture in the air near the LED lamp 8 from condensing after pre-cooling and reducing the illumination intensity of the LED lamp 8; while the piston disc 19 moves towards the sealing disc 20, the space between the piston disc 19 and the sealing disc 20 decreases, and then the air here is squeezed, and then is input into the hollow rubber ring 23 through the air guide hole, the air guide hole two and the air guide hole three, so that the volume of the hollow rubber ring 23 increases, and its side wall is in contact and cooperation with the internal thread, realizing the sealing of the interior of the lighting pipe 6. The cooperation between the hollow rubber ring 23 and the sealing screw further increases the sealing effect of the lighting pipe 6.
