Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline repair, in particular to an endoscopic detection device for pipeline repair. Background Art

[0002] When repairing cast iron pipes, it is necessary to observe the internal conditions of the cast iron pipes, and in some cases, the inner wall of the pipes needs to be observed to determine the corrosion and damage of the inner wall of the pipes and to formulate corresponding repair plans. However, when the water flow in existing cast iron pipes stops, water may accumulate inside. If there are impurities in the accumulated water and the water is deep, when observing from the outside of the accumulated water, the impurities floating in the water will make the accumulated water appear abnormally turbid, making it difficult to observe the condition of the pipe wall, which is very inconvenient.

[0003] In addition, when observing the inner wall of the pipeline, some pipelines have complex directions and long pipeline lengths, and U-shaped pipelines may exist in between. General observation equipment is difficult to adapt to such situations and observe various parts of the pipeline. There is a technology in the existing technology that uses drones to observe the inner wall, but when the drone flies inside the complex pipeline, it is necessary to pay attention to the collision between the drone and the pipe wall during operation. Improper operation can easily cause damage to the drone, making it inconvenient for personnel to observe the pipeline. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 In an embodiment of the present invention, an endoscopic detection device for pipeline repair includes:

[0025] A hollow box body 100, an observation mechanism 200 for observing the internal conditions of the pipeline, and a moving mechanism 400 for moving the box body 100;

[0026] The observation mechanism 200 is located at one end of the box body 100. The observation mechanism 200 includes a rotating plate 210. A card hole 101 is opened at one end of the box body 100, and a card block is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the rotating plate 210. The card block is rotatably sleeved inside the card hole 101, and a wireless camera 220 is fixedly connected to the center of the other side of the rotating plate 210. The moving mechanism 400 is located on the bottom surface of the box body 100.

[0027] Specifically, the wireless camera 220 is a wireless Bluetooth camera, which is an existing technology and usually has the functions of wireless connection and Bluetooth transmission. It can easily transmit the images captured by the camera to the smart device. The box body 100 in this application can be installed with a battery to power the wireless camera 220. The box body 100 can be moved along the pipeline through the moving mechanism 400. During the movement of the box body 100, the direction of the wireless camera 220 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating plate 210, so that the images can be transmitted to the smart device after observing various parts of the pipeline, making it convenient for users to observe the internal situation of the pipeline.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a motor box 230 is fixedly connected to one end of the box body 100, and a driving motor is provided inside the motor box 230. The motor end of the driving motor passes through one end of the box body 100 and is fixedly sleeved with a driving wheel 231, and the outer wall of the driving wheel 231 is in contact with the outer wall of the rotating plate 210. A protective shell 240 is fixedly connected to the other side of the rotating plate 210. A cutout 241 is opened on the outer wall of the protective shell 240, and a rubber frame 300 is provided in the cutout 241. One end of the outer wall of the rubber frame 300 is fixedly bonded to the inside of the cutout 241, and a lens 310 is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the rubber frame 300.

[0030] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the driving wheel 231 and the outer wall of the rotating plate 210 are coated with abrasive material, so that the friction between the driving wheel 231 and the rotating plate 210 is relatively large. When the driving motor is started, the rotating plate 210 can be rotated by the driving wheel 231 to adjust the direction of the wireless camera 220. The driving motor can be remotely controlled by a remote controller, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. The relevant components required for the remote control of the driving motor, such as the wireless receiving module, the motor controller, the encoder, etc., can be installed inside the box body 100. The protective shell 240 is made of transparent plastic material, which can be used to control the wireless camera 220. The camera 220 is protected. When water accumulates in the pipe, some of the water may contain impurities. When the water is deep, excessive impurities may affect the shooting effect. The user can use glue to pre-adhere the rubber frame 300 to the incision 241, and install LED lamp beads near the wireless camera 220 for lighting. The lens 310 is made of transparent glass and is close to the other end of the rubber frame 300. When the box body 100 moves in the pipe, the rubber frame 300 can be extended into the water close to the pipe wall, thereby bringing the lens 310 close to the pipe wall, and shooting through the lens 310 reduces impurity obstruction.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the moving mechanism 400 includes two rotating rods 410, two main gears 420, two U-shaped plates 430 and two rotating shafts 440. The tops of the two rotating rods 410 pass through the inner bottom surface of the box body 100 and are rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the box body 100. The bottom ends of the two rotating rods 410 are fixedly sleeved with main bevel gears 411. A motor box 412 is provided above one of the rotating rods 410. The motor box 412 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the box body 100, and the inside of the motor box 412 is fixedly sleeved with a main bevel gear 411. A driving motor is provided, and the motor shaft of the driving motor is fixedly connected to the top of the adjacent rotating rod 410. A transmission belt 413 is rotatably sleeved between the outer walls of the two rotating rods 410, and the transmission belt 413 is located inside the box body 100. The inner walls of the two main gears 420 are rotatably sleeved with the outer walls of the two rotating rods 410, and the two main gears 420 are both located below the box body 100. The top surfaces of the two U-shaped plates 430 are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of the two main gears 420, and the top surfaces of the two U-shaped plates 430 are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of the two main gears 420. Circular holes are opened on the surface, and the outer walls of the two rotating rods 410 are rotatably sleeved with the inner walls of the adjacent circular holes. The two main bevel gears 411 are located between the two arms of the adjacent U-shaped plates 430, and one end of the two arms of the two U-shaped plates 430 is opened with a sleeve hole 431. The two rotating shafts 440 are respectively located between the two arms of the two U-shaped plates 430. The outer walls of the two rotating shafts 440 are rotatably sleeved with the inner walls of the adjacent sleeve holes 431, and the outer walls of the two rotating shafts 440 are fixedly sleeved with two wheel bodies 442. The outer walls of the four wheel bodies 442 are fixedly sleeved with annular magnets 443, the outer walls of the two rotating shafts 440 are fixedly sleeved with sub-bevel gears 441, and the two sub-bevel gears 441 are meshed with adjacent main bevel gears 411. The top surface of the box body 100 is fixedly connected to a drive box 450, and a stepper motor is arranged inside the drive box 450. The motor shaft of the stepper motor passes through the bottom surface of the box body 100 and is fixedly sleeved with a sub-gear 451, and the two main gears 420 are meshed with the sub-gear 451.

[0032] During specific implementation, in the initial form, the central axes of the two rotating shafts 440 are arranged in parallel, and the box body 100 can be adsorbed on the inner wall of the pipe through the outer side walls of the four annular magnets 443. By starting the driving motor, the adjacent rotating rods 410 and the main bevel gear 411 can be driven to rotate, so that the two rotating rods 410 rotate in the same direction through the transmission ring belt 413, thereby making the two main bevel gears 411 drive the two rotating shafts 440 to rotate in the same direction through the adjacent sub-bevel gears 441, so that the four wheel bodies 442 rotate in the same direction with the adjacent rotating shafts 440, so as to move the box body 100, so that the box body 100 can move along the direction of the pipe, and can climb along the vertical pipe through the annular magnet 443, which is convenient for the movement of the box body 100, and the two main gears 420 can be driven to rotate synchronously through the sub-gear 451 by starting the stepping motor. The two main gears 420 drive the adjacent U-shaped plates 430 to rotate, so that the central axes of the two rotating shafts 440 are located in the same straight line. Then, the driving motor can be started to use the main bevel gear 411 and the secondary bevel gear 441 to drive the two rotating shafts 440 to rotate, so that the two rotating shafts 440 drive the box body 100 to move through the wheel body 442 and the annular magnet 443, so that the box body 100 can move along the inner wall of the pipeline inside the pipeline, so that the box body 100 can be moved to any place in the pipeline, which is convenient for observing the internal situation of the pipeline. The stepping motor and the drive motor can be remotely controlled by a remote controller, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. The relevant components required for the remote control of the stepping motor and the drive motor, such as the wireless receiving module, the motor controller, the encoder, etc. can be installed inside the box body 100.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] On the basis of the first embodiment, both ends of the rotating shaft 440 are conical, so that the box body 100 moves more smoothly.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, any rotating shaft 440 includes two conical parts and a cylindrical part, and the two wheel bodies 442 on the same rotating shaft 440 are respectively located at the two ends of the cylindrical parts of adjacent rotating shafts 440.

[0036] In a specific implementation, since the conical parts at both ends of the rotating shaft 440 protrude, only the outer wall of the annular magnet 443 will be adsorbed on the pipeline, and the entire ring will not be adsorbed on the pipeline.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0038] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
