[0022] 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.

[0023] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0024] In addition, the description such as "first", "second" and the like in the present application is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance of the technical features or implying the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by "first" and "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0025] Furthermore, the technical solutions of various embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of ordinary skilled in the art, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, also not within the scope of protection required by the present application.

[0026] Referring to the drawings Figure 1 - the drawings Figure 3 The application provides a rain and sewage pipeline defect detection excitation device based on distributed optical fiber, which comprises a vibration motor 1, a fixing mechanism and an inner support mechanism, the vibration motor 1 is connected with the inner support mechanism through the fixing mechanism, the inner support mechanism comprises a support main body 2, a bottom support plate 3 and an upper support plate 4, the bottom support plate 3 is fixed with the lower end of the support main body 2 and is used for supporting the bottom of the inner wall of the pipeline, and the upper support plate 4 is placed on the upper end of the support main body 2 and supports the top of the inner wall of the pipeline under the adjustment of the support main body 2.

[0027] In one specific embodiment, the support main body 2 comprises screw rods 5 arranged above the bottom support plate 3. These screw rods 5 not only serve as key components for connection and adjustment, but also endow the device with high adaptability and stability. Further, in order to realize precise adjustment of the height of the upper support plate 4, the upper end of the screw rod 5 is ingeniously designed with an elongated adjusting hexagon nut 6. The lower part of the upper support plate 4 is provided with a top supporting opening 7 that perfectly matches the elongated adjusting hexagon nut 6. When the elongated adjusting hexagon nut 6 is tightened, its upper end can be smoothly screwed into the top supporting opening 7, thereby effectively jacking up the upper support plate 4 until it closely fits the top of the inner wall of the pipeline. In order to ensure the stability after adjustment, a locking hexagon nut 8 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 5 below the elongated adjusting hexagon nut 6, which effectively prevents loosening that may occur during vibration.

[0028] In another optimization point, the bottom of the bottom support plate 3 is carefully machined with a counterbore, while the bottom end of the screw rod 5 is equipped with a matching internal threaded hole. By rotating the hexagonal socket head cap screw 9 into the counterbore and tightly connecting with the internal threaded hole, the firm fixation of the bottom support plate 3 and the screw rod 5 is achieved. In addition, in order to further improve the stability, the screw rod 5 is also threadedly connected with the lengthened locking hexagonal nut 13 above the bottom support plate 3, and the bottom support plate 3 is provided with a corresponding clamping groove. In this application, the lengthened locking hexagonal nut 13 pushes down to tighten the bottom support plate 3, which can prevent the hexagonal socket head cap screw 9 from loosening with the bottom support plate 3 during vibration.

[0029] In order to improve the applicability and stability of the device, the support surfaces of the bottom support plate 3 and the upper support plate 4 are designed as circular arcs. This design ensures that they are perfectly matched with the inner wall of the pipeline after being tightened, not only improving the stability, but also reducing the risk of pipeline damage caused by vibration. It is worth mentioning that the bottom support plate 3 and the upper support plate 4 are made of POM plastic material, which not only ensures the frictional vibration along the longitudinal direction of the pipeline, but also prevents the bottom support plate 3 and the upper support plate 4 from being sheared along the longitudinal direction of the pipeline, and prevents damage to the pipeline during vibration.

[0030] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 The fixing mechanism, as the key to connecting the vibration motor 1 and the inner support mechanism, is also crucial in design. It includes a clamping plate 10 and a motor base 11 specially used for fixing the vibration motor 1. The clamping plate 10 and the motor base 11 are clamped on the front and rear sides of the screw rod 5 respectively and are tightly connected together by fixing screws. In order to further improve the stability of the connection, the opposite sides of the motor base 11 and the clamping plate 10 are designed with V-shaped grooves 12 for clamping the screw rod 5, which ensures the stability and accuracy of the vibration motor 1 during vibration.

[0031] In practical application, first, the locking hex nut 8 and the lengthened adjusting hex nut 6 are screwed on the screw rod 5 in advance, and the top supporting mouth 7 below the upper supporting plate 4 is clamped on the upper end of the screw rod 5 to assemble. Subsequently, the whole device is placed into the pipeline inlet to be detected, and the bottom supporting plate 3 is previously supported with the bottom of the pipeline inner wall. At this time, a certain adjusting space is left between the upper supporting plate 4 and the top of the pipeline inner wall. By rotating the lengthened adjusting hex nut 6 with a wrench, the lengthened adjusting hex nut 6 can be moved upward and jacked up the upper supporting plate 4 until the upper supporting plate 4 is tightly attached to the top of the pipeline inner wall. At the same time, the bottom supporting plate 3 will move downward relatively in the process of the upper supporting plate 4 being tightly attached, so as to tightly attach the bottom of the pipeline inner wall. Finally, the locking hex nut 8 is rotated with a wrench to limit and lock the lower end of the lengthened adjusting hex nut 6, so as to ensure that the lengthened adjusting hex nut 6 will not be loose in the vibration process. After all the fixing steps are completed, the vibration motor 1 can be started to vibrate and detect the pipeline. The optical cable arranged in the pipeline can capture the subtle vibration difference, and by means of the advanced signal processing technology and optical phase demodulation technology, the accurate positioning and detection of the pipeline disengagement and other defects are realized, so as to judge the quality condition of the pipeline.

[0032] The above describes the utility model and its implementation mode, and this description is not restrictive, and the embodiment shown in the drawings is only one of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In summary, if the ordinary skilled person in the art is inspired, without departing from the utility model creation purpose, without creative design, the similar structure mode and embodiment of the technical scheme should belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
