On the other hand, if the camera is not fixed, it cannot obtain a good field of view, resulting in incomplete inspection and potential safety hazards.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a pipe endoscope camera bracket to fix the pipe endoscope camera, reduce collisions during the inspection process, and also obtain a larger inspection field of view. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a camera bracket for a pipe endoscope, which solves the problem of difficulty in fixing the camera when the pipe endoscope is used for video inspection inside the pipe.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A pipe endoscope camera bracket is characterized in that it includes an inner liner shell, the inner liner shell having a cylindrical cavity for accommodating the camera, and a protrusion inside the cavity, such that the protrusion matches the surface of the pipe endoscope camera housing to limit and fix the camera.

[0007] The present invention can be improved in the following way: a locking groove is provided in the cavity of the inner liner shell, and a metal ring is placed in the locking groove; the inner liner shell has a locking hole, so that the locking element passes through the locking hole and applies force to the metal ring to lock the camera.

[0008] Furthermore, the metal ring is a ring-shaped structure with an opening. This opening facilitates the insertion of the metal ring into the locking groove for installation and fixation.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the inner liner shell has a fixing hole, which allows the fixing member to pass through the fixing hole and enter the locking groove and the opening of the metal ring to limit the position of the metal ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking component is a locking screw, and the fixing component is a fixing screw.

[0011] Furthermore, the protrusion and locking groove are located at the two ends of the inner liner housing cavity, respectively.

Detailed Implementation

[0052] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the technical solution of this utility model.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] like Figure 1-8 The illustrated endoscope camera bracket includes an inner housing 1. The inner housing 1 has a cylindrical cavity 101 for accommodating a camera 2. One end of the cavity 101 has a protrusion 102 that matches the surface of the endoscope camera housing, providing a limiting and fixing effect on the camera. The other end of the cavity 101 has a locking groove 103, within which a metal ring 104 is placed. The metal ring 104 is an annular structure with an opening, facilitating its insertion into the locking groove 103. The inner housing 1 has a locking hole 105, positioned opposite the locking groove 103, allowing a locking element 106 to pass through the locking hole 105 and apply force to the metal ring 104 to lock the camera. To prevent the metal ring 104 from sliding within the locking groove 103, a fixing hole 108 is provided at the end of the inner liner housing 1 near the locking groove 103. This allows the fixing member 107 to pass through the fixing hole 108 and enter the locking groove 103 and the opening of the metal ring 104, thus limiting the position of the metal ring 104. In this embodiment, the locking member 106 is a locking screw, and the fixing member 107 is a fixing screw. The inner liner housing 1 also has a viewing hole 109, which is positioned directly opposite the locking groove 103 to check whether the metal ring 104 is placed in the correct position.

[0055] like Figure 9-11 The illustrated pipe endoscope camera bracket and camera 2 assembly structure features a protrusion 102 that engages with a groove 201 on the surface of the camera 2 housing. When the locking screw is not tightened, the metal ring 104 is loosened, allowing the camera 2 to be inserted. Tightening the locking screw causes the metal ring 104 to lock the camera 2 in place, and the locking screw also sinks into the locking hole 105, thus fixing the camera 2 within the cavity 101 of the inner liner housing 1. The inner liner housing 1 protects the camera 2 from impacts and friction during use in pipes (such as water supply pipes and drainage pipes), and provides the camera 2 with a sufficient field of view.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] like Figure 12-13The pipe endoscope camera bracket shown differs from Embodiment 1 in that it also includes a fixed support frame, which is a bent bracket 3. Both ends of the bent bracket 3 are fixed to the assembly 110, and the assembly 110 is fixed to the inner liner shell 1. In this embodiment, there are five bent brackets 3 and five assemblies 110, evenly distributed outside the inner liner shell 1. By replacing the bent bracket 3 with one of arbitrary curvature, different size bracket requirements can be met. By using the fixed support frame to place the entire pipe endoscope camera bracket inside the pipe, the camera 2 can be better protected.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] like Figure 14-16 The pipe endoscope camera bracket shown differs from Embodiment 1 in that it also includes a fixed support frame, which is a pulley assembly 4. The pulley assembly 4 includes a wheel fixing wall 401 and a sliding wheel 402. The wheel fixing wall 401 is fixed to the assembly 110, and the sliding wheel 402 is fixed inside the wheel fixing wall 401. The assembly 110 is provided with a positioning groove 111, which is used for positioning the wheel fixing wall 401 and the assembly 110 during assembly. In this embodiment, there are five pulley assemblies 4 and five assemblies 110, which are evenly distributed and fixed outside the inner liner shell 1.

[0060] Example 4

[0061] like Figure 17-27 The pipe endoscope camera bracket shown differs from Embodiment 1 in that it also includes a telescopic support frame 5, which is fixed to the inner liner housing 1 by a fixed housing 6. The fixed housing 6 is sleeved outside the inner liner housing 1 and includes a front housing 601 and a rear housing 602. The front housing 601 is fixed to the inner liner housing, and the front housing 601 and the rear housing 602 are fixedly connected by a tension spring 603. The rear housing 602 has a through hole 604 for the locking member 106 to pass through, so that the locking member 106 has a locking effect on the movement of the rear housing 602. In this embodiment, the telescopic support frame 5 includes an X-shaped hinged bracket 502. Two ends of one side of the telescopic support frame 5 are respectively hinged to the front housing 601 and the rear housing 602, and two ends of the other side are respectively hinged to pulleys 501. Figures 17-24 Pulley 501 is configured as a single pulley, such as... Figure 25 Pulley 501 is configured as a tilting pulley system. For example... Figure 26 , Figure 27When the locking screw is not tightened, it will protrude, preventing the rear housing 602 from moving normally. At this time, the telescopic support frame 5 is simultaneously fixed. When the locking screw is tightened, it will sink into the locking hole 105, allowing the rear housing 602 to move normally. Under the action of the tension spring 603, the telescopic support frame 5 presses against the pipe wall. In pipes of different diameters, the tension spring 603 will automatically adjust the opening diameter of the telescopic support frame 5, ensuring the entire pipe endoscope camera bracket is stably fixed inside the pipe.
