Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data acquisition equipment technology, and in particular to a reading device for a novel pointer-type instrument based on an industrial endoscope. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial environments, mechanical pointer-type instruments are widely used for status monitoring of various mechanical equipment due to their intuitiveness and reliability. However, traditional reading methods rely on manual observation and recording near the instrument, which has several limitations. First, manual reading is not only inefficient but also prone to errors, especially during long-term or repetitive tasks, where operator fatigue can reduce accuracy. Second, in certain special working environments, such as high temperature, high pressure, or environments with toxic or harmful gases, direct contact with the instrument for reading may pose a safety threat to the operator.
[0003] With the growth of automation technology and the demand for remote monitoring, the market demand for solutions that can achieve remote and automatic reading is increasing. Although some existing endoscopic devices can be used to inspect hard-to-access locations, their application is limited when used with pointer-type instruments due to the lack of specially designed mounting structures and the ability to adapt to different instrument sizes.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of device to solve the problems of traditional reading methods, simplify the installation and use of remote reading systems, improve the accuracy and efficiency of data acquisition, and ensure the safety of operators. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a novel pointer-type instrument reading device based on an industrial endoscope, which mainly includes a housing, a mounting cylinder for mounting the endoscope in the center of the housing, and an open end for attaching the instrument. This device can be directly fixed to the instrument. After the endoscope is mounted on this device, the instrument data can be directly captured, enabling remote and automated reading of the instrument data, significantly improving work efficiency.
[0006] Further describing the aforementioned solution, the housing adopts a cylindrical shape, ensuring good compatibility with most pointer-type instruments on the market. The mounting cylinder is coaxially mounted to the housing via a support rod, ensuring the accuracy and centering of the endoscope's imaging angle, thereby obtaining clear digital images. To simplify the installation process, the open end is equipped with a snap-fit mechanism, allowing the device to be quickly and securely fixed to the target instrument.
[0007] To prevent dust accumulation on the instrument, which could lead to unclear images, the other end of the housing is a sealed end, which seals the entire instrument. The mounting cylinder extends from inside the housing and passes through the sealed end, making it convenient to install the endoscope.
[0008] Optionally, the opening end of the shell sleeve instrument is a elastic sleeve opening, which is beneficial to sealing, preventing dust from entering the instrument from the opening end, and can also fit a variety of instruments with different diameters, and a clamp can be used to further reinforce when necessary.
[0009] Optionally, one or more magnifying glasses are installed on the sealing end to facilitate manual observation and reading.
[0010] Further, in order to facilitate manual inspection of instrument data, the shell is made of transparent material. The buckles are evenly distributed on the shell of the opening end, one end of the buckle is suspended, the middle part of the buckle is bent and protruded towards the axis of the shell, which facilitates the installation of the shell on the instrument.
[0011] In order to improve the sealing performance, a sealing gasket is added to the edge of the opening end, which effectively prevents dust from entering the instrument interior and ensures the cleanliness of the instrument surface and the accuracy of data reading.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] By combining the industrial endoscope with the pointer type instrument, remote and automatic reading of data is realized, manual intervention is greatly reduced, the speed and accuracy of data acquisition are improved, and daily monitoring work is more efficient.
[0014] The device allows the operator to read data remotely from the dangerous area, avoiding the potential risks brought by direct contact with the instrument, especially in harsh working conditions such as high radiation, chemical pollution or mechanical injury.
[0015] The device design takes into account different models and sizes of pointer type instruments, and through the design elements such as elastic sleeve, buckle and optional clamp, it can adapt to most types of instruments on the market, expanding its application range.
[0016] The design of the transparent shell facilitates manual inspection, the magnifying glass facilitates close observation, and the buckle and sealing gasket ensure the convenience of installation and good sealing performance, preventing dust from covering the instrument surface and affecting the reading.
[0017] The design of the sealing end effectively prevents dust and other impurities from entering the instrument interior, prolongs the service life of the instrument, and reduces the maintenance cost. At the same time, the whole device is easy to disassemble and clean, which helps to maintain long-term stable performance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
