[0002] Industrial endoscopes are a type of non-destructive testing instrument that has emerged in recent years. They can easily and accurately observe the internal structure or working condition of an object without damaging it. They are mainly used in the inspection of automobiles, aircraft engines, pipelines, and mechanical parts. They can easily and accurately observe the internal structure or working condition of an object without damaging the equipment being inspected or without the equipment being stopped, thus achieving non-destructive testing.

[0003] Currently, in the use of existing industrial endoscopes, it is usually necessary to insert the probe at one end of the wire harness into the interior of the object being measured. However, since there may be a lot of dust and impurities inside the object being measured, these dust and impurities can easily stick to the outer wall of the wire harness during the probe insertion. The dust and impurities on the outer wall of the wire harness need to be manually cleaned by the staff after use, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: an industrial endoscope that can achieve self-cleaning, including a body 1, a handle 2 connected to the bottom of the body 1, a connecting harness 3 connected to the top of the body 1, and a probe 4 connected to one end of the connecting harness 3.

[0023] The top of the body 1 is connected to a connecting frame 5, the top of the connecting frame 5 is connected to a take-up box 6, the inside of the take-up box 6 is rotatably connected to a take-up reel 7, the outer wall of the take-up box 6 is connected to two connecting seats 9, the inside of the two connecting seats 9 is provided with a spring 10, one end of the spring 10 is connected to a movable block 11, one end of the movable block 11 is connected to a connecting rod 12, and one end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to an arc plate 13.

[0024] It is worth noting that when using an industrial endoscope, the end of the tubing is inserted into the device being tested, and then the direction and speed of the probe 4 are controlled by operating a joystick or button to conduct a comprehensive observation and inspection of the inside of the device. The captured images are then transmitted to the display screen of the industrial endoscope via a cable.

[0025] Preferably, the top of the winding reel 7 is connected to a rotating handle 8, the inner side of the arc plate 13 is bonded with a scraper 14, the cross section of the scraper 14 is arc-shaped, and the scraper 14 is in contact with the outer wall of the connecting wire harness 3. The two connecting seats 9 are symmetrically distributed, and one end of the connecting wire harness 3 is located between the two connecting seats 9.

[0026] In practical use, by rotating the handle 8 to rotate the reel 7, the pulled-out connecting wire harness 3 can be wound into the reel box 6. Then, through the elastic structure between the arc plate 13 and the connecting seat 9, when the connecting wire harness 3 is wound into the reel box 6, the scraper 14 that is in contact with it can scrape off the dust and impurities attached to the connecting wire harness 3, thereby achieving self-cleaning and improving the convenience of cleaning industrial endoscopes.

[0027] Preferably, the arc-shaped plate 13 can form an elastic structure with the connecting seat 9 through the spring 10, the movable block 11, and the connecting rod 12.

[0028] In practical use, the elastic structure between the arc plate 13 and the connecting seat 9 allows the scraper 14 to clamp the connecting wire harness 3 while also keeping the scraper 14 movable, thereby avoiding wear on the outer wall of the connecting wire harness 3.

[0029] Working principle: First, by pulling the probe 4, the connecting wire harness 3 wound inside the take-up box 6 is pulled out. Then, the probe 4 is inserted into the object being measured. At this time, the internal condition of the object can be viewed through the screen on the surface of the machine body 1. When the connecting wire harness 3 is retracted, the take-up reel 7 is rotated by rotating the handle 8, so that the pulled-out connecting wire harness 3 can be wound into the inside of the take-up box 6. Then, through the elastic structure between the arc plate 13 and the connecting seat 9, when the connecting wire harness 3 is wound into the inside of the take-up box 6, the scraper 14 that is in contact with it can scrape off the dust and impurities attached to the connecting wire harness 3, thereby achieving self-cleaning and improving the convenience of cleaning industrial endoscopes.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model.
