Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground pipeline detection technology, specifically to a visual geophysical instrument for underground pipeline detection. Background Technology

[0002] Underground pipeline instruments are devices with detection capabilities. The main task of underground pipeline exploration is to determine whether there are any existing underground pipelines at the construction site. If so, the planar location, direction, burial depth, specifications, nature, and material of the underground pipelines should be determined, and an underground pipeline map should be drawn. In addition, the laying year and ownership unit of each pipeline should also be determined. The purpose is to protect existing underground pipelines and prevent damage to the pipelines during construction.

[0003] Existing underground pipeline detection instruments use telescopic rods to extend cameras underground for exploration. For example, utility model patent CN220137414U discloses a visual geophysical exploration instrument for underground pipelines. Users move the base directly above the manhole using a push rod and wheels, making the movement more efficient. A hydraulic pump drives the hydraulic telescopic rod to extend, lowering the camera body. The camera body can then capture images of the manhole's interior and display the captured images on a display panel. During recording, a control device can be activated to start the drive motor. The drive motor, via a connecting shaft, drives a gear to rotate. The gear's rotation causes a rotating seat to rotate within the rotating cavity, simultaneously rotating the camera body and changing the shooting direction, making it more convenient to use.

[0004] However, during the use of this device, due to the different sizes of manhole covers, when exploring large manholes, it is necessary to adjust the position of the camera. Since the hydraulic telescopic rod of this device is not easy to adjust, it is necessary to move the casters, which not only reduces work efficiency but also reduces the overall stability of the device.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0049] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes a visual geophysical exploration instrument for underground pipelines, including a support frame 1, a support column 2, a support cover 3, a lifting seat 4, a lifting block 5, a rotating mechanism, and a position adjustment mechanism.

[0051] Reference Figures 1-3The position adjustment mechanism includes a first threaded rod 8, a first motor 9, and an adjustment assembly. The first threaded rod 8 is rotatably mounted inside the support cover 3 and passes through the lifting seat 4 through a threaded engagement. The first motor 9 is fixedly mounted on the support cover 3, and its output end is fixedly connected to the first threaded rod 8. The adjustment assembly is mounted on the support frame 1 and is used to control the movement of the lifting seat 4 around the support column 2.

The first gear ring 10 is fixedly mounted on the support column 2, and the first gear 11 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 1 and meshes with the first gear ring 10. The second motor 12 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 1, and its output end is fixedly connected to the first gear 11.

[0052] Specifically, the operation of the first motor 9 can drive the first threaded rod 8 to rotate, thereby controlling the movement of the lifting seat 4 within the support cover 3 through the threaded engagement between the first threaded rod 8 and the lifting seat 4. At the same time, the operation of the second motor 12 can drive the first gear 11 to rotate, thereby driving the support column 2 to rotate through the meshing of the first gear 11 and the first gear ring 10.

[0053] Reference Figures 3-5The rotating mechanism includes a conductive slip ring 13, an adjusting column, and a driving mechanism. The conductive slip ring 13 is fixedly mounted on the lifting block 5, and the adjusting column is fixedly mounted on the end of the conductive slip ring 13 away from the lifting block 5.

The driving mechanism includes a first cavity, a driving rod 14, a second gear 15, a second gear ring 16, and a driving assembly. The first cavity is opened inside the lifting seat 4. The driving rod 14 is rotatably mounted on the lifting block 5 and extends through the lifting block 5 into the first cavity. The second gear 15 is fixedly mounted on the driving rod 14, and the second gear ring 16 is fixedly mounted on the adjusting column. The second gear ring 16 meshes with the second gear 15.

The second bevel gear 18 meshes with the first bevel gear 17. The power input mechanism is located inside the support cover 3 and is used to control the rotation of the second bevel gear 18. The power input mechanism includes a drive column 19 and a third motor 20. The drive column 19 is rotatably mounted inside the support cover 3 and passes through the lifting seat 4 and the second bevel gear 18. The drive column 19 is slidably connected to the second bevel gear 18. The third motor 20 is fixedly mounted on the support cover 3 and is used to control the rotation of the drive column 19. The second bevel gear 18 has a first drive port and the side wall of the first cavity has a second drive port. The drive column 19 passes through the first drive port and the second drive port. The side wall of the drive column 19 has a sliding groove 21. A slider is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the first drive port.

[0054] Specifically, the operation of the third motor 20 can drive the drive column 19 to rotate, and at the same time, through the cooperation of the slider and the slide groove 21, it can drive the second bevel gear 18 to rotate. Thus, through the meshing of the second bevel gear 18 with the first bevel gear 17, the first bevel gear 17, the drive rod 14, and the second gear 15 are driven to rotate. In turn, through the meshing of the second gear 15 with the second gear ring 16, the camera 6 is driven to rotate, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera 6.

[0055] In this embodiment, during use, the operator pushes the support frame 1 to directly above the manhole. Then, the operator controls the electric push rod 7 to move the lifting block 5, thereby adjusting the height of the camera 6. Next, the operator controls the first motor 9 and the second motor 12. The first motor 9 drives the first threaded rod 8 to rotate, and the threaded engagement between the first threaded rod 8 and the lifting seat 4 controls the movement of the lifting seat 4 within the support cover 3. Simultaneously, the second motor 12 drives the first gear 11 to rotate, and the meshing of the first gear 11 with the first gear ring 10 drives the support column 2 to rotate. The rotation of the support column 2 also drives the lifting... The seat 4 moves around the support column 2, which facilitates the adjustment of the horizontal position of the lifting seat 4 and the camera 6. After the camera 6 reaches the position to be detected, the operator controls the third motor 20 to work. The operation of the third motor 20 can drive the drive column 19 to rotate. At the same time, through the cooperation of the slider and the slide groove 21, the second bevel gear 18 can be driven to rotate. Thus, through the meshing of the second bevel gear 18 with the first bevel gear 17, the first bevel gear 17, the drive rod 14 and the second gear 15 are driven to rotate. In turn, through the meshing of the second gear 15 with the second gear ring 16, the camera 6 is driven to rotate, which facilitates the adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera 6. Thus, the pipeline laying information can be captured through the camera 6.

[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
