[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0015] Example 1
[0016] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary lighting device for gas meter inspection involved in this embodiment includes a columnar handle 1, a card slot 2 is dug at one end of the handle 1, and a button switch 3 is provided at the other end. An electric light source 4 is buried at the bottom of the card slot 2, and the electric light source 4 is an LED lamp. A battery (not shown) electrically connected to the electric light source is provided in the handle 1, and the button switch 3 is also electrically connected to the battery and controls its power on and off. It also includes a flexible light guide rod 5 with one end embedded in the card slot 2, and the flexible light guide rod 5 is a fully transparent or translucent silicone material. The flexible light guide rod 5 is coaxially arranged with the handle 1 in a natural state.
[0017] Furthermore, an escape groove 503 for hiding the power supply light source is dug at one end of the flexible light guide rod 5 connected to the handle.
