[0031] Hereinafter, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are only used for the purpose of distinguishing descriptions and position descriptions, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature limited to "first" or the like may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features; similarly, when the quantity of certain features is not limited in the form of words such as "two" or "three", it should be noted that the feature also explicitly or implicitly includes one or more of the features.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "installation," "connection," and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense; for example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral molding; they may refer to mechanical connections, direct connections, welding, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, internal connections between two components, or interactions between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specification and drawings in combination with specific circumstances.

[0034] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a handheld multifunctional industrial endoscope inspection device includes: an outer shell 1, a front lens 2 and an auxiliary light 3 arranged at the upper end of the inner shell 1, a rotating shaft 4 rotatably arranged at the upper end of the outer shell 1, a limiting wheel 5 fixed on the rotating shaft 4 and a reflective cover 6, the limiting wheel 5 is provided with a limiting hole 7, the upper end of the outer shell 1 is provided with a damping rod 8 that cooperates with the limiting hole 7, the reflective cover 6 is provided with a reflector, the reflector includes a concave mirror or a plane mirror, and the outer side of the reflective cover 6 is provided with a circular hole 9 and a rectangular hole 10 along the width direction of the outer shell 1.

[0036] In the specific application of the present invention, the front lens 2 is located at the front of the device and is used to capture images of the target area. It is equipped with a high-resolution camera to provide clear visual effects. The auxiliary light 3 is adjacent to the front lens 2 and is used to provide sufficient illumination for the inspection area, ensuring clear images even in low-light environments.

[0037] The rotating shaft 4 allows the user to adjust the angle of the endoscope to observe the target from different perspectives. The limiting wheel 5, through the cooperation of the limiting hole 7 and the damping rod 8, can limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 4, ensuring stability during operation and preventing damage caused by excessive rotation. The reflective mirror (which can be a concave mirror or a plane mirror) on the reflective cover 6 is used to redirect the optical path, allowing the operator to observe the target area from different angles. For example, using a concave mirror can expand the observation range, while a plane mirror maintains the true scale of the image.

[0038] The circular hole 9 is used to pass through slender objects such as optical fibers or wires, while the rectangular hole 10 may be used to install or fix other accessories, such as additional sensors or tool interfaces, to enhance the functionality and adaptability of the device.

[0039] As a further solution of the present invention: a slide rail 11 and a reflective plate 12 sliding on the slide rail 11 are provided inside the reflective cover 6, a first toggle block 13 passing through the rectangular hole 10 and sliding in the rectangular hole 10 is fixed on the reflective plate 12, an auxiliary light reflective plate 14 and a baffle 15 are provided on the inner side of the reflective cover 6, and the baffle 15 is respectively located on the two outer sides and the middle part of the reflective cover 6.

[0040] In a specific application of the embodiment of the present invention, the slide rail 11 and the reflector 12 sliding thereon can change the direction of the light path, thereby adjusting the field of view of the endoscope. The first toggle block 13 fixed on the reflector 12 and passing through the rectangular hole 10 can further fine-tune the position of the reflector 12 when sliding within the rectangular hole 10, thereby achieving more precise angle adjustment.

[0041] The auxiliary light reflector 14 is arranged on the inner side of the reflective cover 6 to enhance the lighting effect and ensure that the target can be clearly observed even in a low-light environment. The baffle 15 is located on both sides and the middle of the reflective cover 6. On the one hand, it plays a role in blocking stray light to avoid affecting the observation effect; on the other hand, the baffle 15 also has the function of protecting the internal structure to prevent external objects from entering or interfering with the internal operation.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, a second toggle block 16 is provided on the reflective cover 6, and a groove 17 that cooperates with the baffle 15 and a notch 18 for the second toggle block 16 are provided at the upper end of the outer shell 1. When the reflective cover 6 and the outer shell 1 are closed, the central axis of the circular hole 9 coincides with the central axis of the front lens 2.

[0043] In the specific application of the embodiment of the present utility model, the second toggle block 16 is used to adjust the position of the reflective cover 6. By toggling this component, the angle of the cover can be changed, thereby adjusting the path of light entering the endoscope to achieve observation needs at different angles.

[0044] When the cover is closed, the baffle will be embedded in the groove to ensure a tight connection between the cover and the outer shell, preventing external dust or liquid from entering and affecting the performance of the device. The notch 18 is associated with the second toggle block 16, and the movement of the toggle block will be transmitted to the reflective cover 6 through the notch to adjust its position.

[0045] Circular aperture 9, located on reflective cover 6, serves as the entrance for the light beam, while front lens 2 serves as the device's observation lens. When the reflective cover and outer housing are closed, the central axes of circular aperture 9 and front lens 2 coincide, meaning they are aligned. This ensures that light enters directly and without deviation through the circular aperture and is captured by the front lens, providing a clear and accurate image.

[0046] In a possible embodiment, there are two limiting holes 7 on the limiting wheel 5, and the angle formed by the two limiting holes 7 and the line connecting the rotating shaft 4 is 45°, and the angle between the reflective cover 6 and the upper end of the outer shell 1 is 45°.

[0047] In the specific application of the embodiment of the present utility model, the two limiting holes 7 on the limiting wheel 5 form a specific angle with the rotating shaft 4 to ensure the stability and positioning accuracy of the endoscope. The limiting holes 7 limit the position or direction of the endoscope probe to ensure that it can be accurately aligned with the area to be inspected at a specific angle, while avoiding damage to the probe due to improper operation.

[0048] The two limiting holes 7 form a 45° angle with the line connecting the rotating shaft 4, and the reflective cover 6 forms a 45° angle with the upper end of the outer shell 1. The choice of a 45° angle is conducive to the efficient transmission and reflection of light, ensuring the clarity and brightness of the field of view in complex environments, and also helps the operator observe the target area from a more intuitive angle.

[0049] The reflective cover 6, combined with the 45° angle, can effectively improve the endoscope's lighting effect and image quality, allowing the light source to illuminate the inspected area at the optimal angle, reducing light loss and enhancing the imaging effect. In addition, the reflective cover also protects the internal optical components and prevents the entry of external impurities.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0051] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0052] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is non-limiting. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention, without inventive design, a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
