[0034] Lamp beads are used to provide light sources. The lamp beads can be LED lamp beads or incandescent lamp beads. The size and power of the lamp beads can be set as needed, such as according to the requirements of pipeline operations. For example, when performing pipeline operations, the size of the lamp beads can be set according to the inner diameter of the pipeline. For example, the outer diameter of the lamp beads is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipeline so that the lamp beads can extend into the pipeline to better fill light or illuminate the pipeline. The power of the lamp beads can be set according to the brightness requirements during the operation so that the brightness of the lamp beads is sufficient for fill light or illumination;

[0035] A connector for connecting a power source. The power source can be a portable mobile power source or a fixed power source. The power source can be set as needed. For example, it can be set according to the working environment. When the working environment is an outdoor environment where it is inconvenient to connect to a fixed power source, the power source can be a mobile power source. When the working environment is near a building, the power source can be a fixed power source.

[0036] A plastic cable is electrically connected to the lamp bead at one end and to the connector at the other end. A plastic cable is a cable that can be deformed under an external force and return to its pre-deformation state after the external force disappears. The size of the plastic cable can be set as needed, such as according to the inner diameter of the pipe. For example, the outer diameter of the plastic cable is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe so that the plastic cable can extend into the pipe. The performance of the plastic cable can be set as needed, such as according to the power of the lamp bead to match the power of the lamp bead.

[0037] Optionally, the power source is a mobile terminal, which can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a laptop computer. When the power source is a mobile terminal, there is no need to configure an additional power source, and a portable mobile terminal can be used, making this application more portable.

[0038] Optionally, the connector is an all-in-one adapter, and the number of interfaces of the all-in-one adapter can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the number of interfaces of the all-in-one adapter is three, including a USB interface, a Type-C interface and a Lightning interface, to adapt to interfaces of different power supplies.

[0039] Optionally, the connector is an OTG (On-The-Go) adapter.

[0040] Optionally, the connector is an all-in-one OTG adapter, and the number of interfaces of the all-in-one OTG adapter can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the number of interfaces of the all-in-one OTG adapter is three, including a USB Type C-OTG interface, a Micro USB-OTG interface and a Lightning-OTG interface to adapt to interfaces of different power sources. For example, the USB Type C-OTG interface is used to adapt to Android phones, the Micro USB-OTG interface is used to adapt to laptops, and the Lightning-OTG interface is used to adapt to Apple phones.

[0041] Optionally, the mobile terminal is provided with an OTG switch for providing the power of the mobile terminal to the all-in-one OTG adapter, thereby transmitting the power to the lamp beads through the plastic cable.

[0042] Optionally, the plastic cable is a waterproof cable. The plastic cable may be a PVC waterproof cable, an XLPE waterproof cable, or a rubber waterproof cable. The plastic cable is a waterproof cable, so that the present application can be used in areas where there is accumulated water.

[0043] Optionally, the outer diameter of the lamp bead is smaller than a preset outer diameter. The preset outer diameter can be set according to the inner diameter of the pipe or the size of the narrow space, so that the lamp bead can extend into the pipe or the narrow space. For example, when performing pipeline operations, the preset outer diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the pipe, so that the lamp bead can extend into the pipe to provide fill light or illumination inside the pipe.

[0044] Optionally, the lamp beads can be round or square, and can be set according to the working environment. For example, for a circular pipe, the lamp beads are round, and for a small square space, the lamp beads are square.

[0045] Optionally, the lamp beads are LED lamp beads, which can be low-power LED lamp beads, high-power LED lamp beads, micro LED lamp beads, or conventional LED lamp beads.

[0046] Optionally, the lamp beads are waterproof lamp beads, and the waterproof level of the lamp beads can be set according to the working environment. For example, lamp beads with a waterproof level of IP68 are used in outdoor environments, and lamp beads with a waterproof level of IP67 are used in indoor environments.

[0047] Optionally, the brightness of the lamp beads is greater than a preset brightness, and the lamp beads can be high-brightness lamp beads to better fill in or illuminate the working area.

[0048] Optionally, it also includes:

[0049] A winding wheel is used for winding the plastic cable.

[0050] Specifically, the winding wheel can be round or square, and the plastic cable is wound on the winding wheel for easy carrying.

[0051] Optionally, the winding reel is provided with a plug-in interface for plugging in the connector and the lamp beads for easy carrying, and the plug-in interface is similar to the plug-in interface of the fishing rod reel.

[0052] In actual use, if the power source is a mobile phone, first unfold the plastic cable, and select the corresponding interface according to the interface type of the mobile phone and insert it into the interface of the mobile phone. For example, for an Apple mobile phone, select the Lightning-OTG interface and insert it into the mobile phone interface. Then turn on the OTG switch in the mobile phone, and the power of the mobile phone battery is transmitted to the lamp beads through the all-in-one OTG adapter and the plastic cable. The lamp beads light up, hold the plastic cable, and extend the lamp beads to the position where fill light or lighting is needed, and perform fill light or lighting. After the operation is completed, hold the plastic cable and pull the lamp beads out from the position where fill light or lighting is needed, then turn off the OTG switch in the mobile phone, unplug the corresponding interface from the interface of the mobile phone, wipe this application, and then coil the plastic cable.

[0053] In the present application, the lamp beads are extended to the position where supplementary light is needed through a plastic cable. During this process, if there is a tortuous part, the plastic cable can be bent and bypass the tortuous part, so that the lamp beads can be extended to the position where supplementary light or illumination is needed, thereby supplementing the narrow space where there is a tortuous part, solving the problem that the direct beam of the flashlight cannot illuminate the right place. When the power source is a mobile terminal, the power supply method of the present application is simple and fast. When the lighting tool fails, the portable mobile terminal can be used to draw power without re-using the lighting tool, which effectively improves the working efficiency.
