Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline inner surface inspection technology, specifically to a light intensity device for pipeline inner surface inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, imaging devices such as cameras are widely used in pipeline internal surface inspection to acquire images of the pipeline interior for direct observation of the pipe's inner wall condition. However, the lighting conditions inside pipelines are often poor and highly variable, posing a significant challenge to the normal operation of imaging devices. Insufficient lighting leads to blurred images and loss of detail, making it difficult for inspectors to accurately identify defects in the pipeline's inner wall, thus affecting the accuracy and reliability of the inspection results. To improve lighting conditions inside pipelines, illumination devices are typically used. However, existing lighting methods suffer from uneven illumination, easily creating shadowed areas that prevent some sections of the pipeline's inner wall from being clearly illuminated, thereby affecting image quality. Moreover, the illumination effect of lighting devices varies considerably in pipelines of different diameters, lengths, and internal structures, making it difficult to guarantee stable and suitable lighting in various complex pipeline environments.

[0003] In related technologies, illuminance meters are typically used to measure the illumination inside pipe walls. However, traditional illuminance meters cannot be installed in suitable locations for measurement, requiring multiple people to assist in fixing the illuminance meter to a long pole, making independent operation impossible. Alternatively, operators may need to hold the illuminance meter and insert it into the pipe, increasing the risk of their hands being scratched by burrs on the pipe wall.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a light intensity device for inspecting the inner surface of pipes to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a light intensity device for inspecting the inner surface of a pipe, so as to solve at least one aspect of the problems and defects mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A light intensity device for inspecting the inner surface of a pipe, comprising:

[0008] A measuring sleeve, one end of which is provided with a fixing block;

[0009] A magnet is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing block, and a photometer can be attracted to the bottom of the magnet;

[0010] The measuring sleeve is equipped with scale values.

[0011] The illumination device for inspecting the inner surface of pipes according to this scheme has at least the following technical effects:

[0012] This illuminance device for inspecting the inner surface of pipes allows the illuminance meter to be inserted into the pipe via a measuring sleeve for surface inspection. The illuminance meter is magnetically attached to the sleeve, ensuring it won't easily detach or wobble during insertion, thus improving measurement stability. It also facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, reducing the need for multiple personnel and significantly simplifying the operation. Compared to traditional methods requiring manual insertion, this device prevents operators from coming into contact with burrs on the pipe surface, avoiding injuries. Furthermore, the scale settings allow operators to accurately pinpoint the illuminance meter's location within the pipe, facilitating the recording and comparison of illuminance data at different locations and improving the accuracy and reliability of the inspection.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the measuring sleeve includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, wherein the inner sleeve is telescopically disposed within the outer sleeve.

[0014] Since the measuring sleeve includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, and the inner sleeve is telescopically installed inside the outer sleeve, the inner sleeve can be extended or retracted according to the length of the pipe, thereby increasing the overall length of the measuring sleeve. This facilitates deeper penetration into the pipe for illuminance detection and effectively improves the detection applicability of the device.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, an anti-slip pad is provided at the bottom of the inner sleeve rod.

[0016] By setting an anti-slip pad at the bottom of the inner sleeve, the friction between the hand and the bottom of the inner sleeve can be increased, allowing the operator to hold the measuring sleeve more firmly. This ensures that the measuring sleeve can be effectively prevented from slipping from the hand when the operator maintains the testing posture for a long time, thereby better controlling the extension and movement of the measuring sleeve. This facilitates handling various complex testing environments and ensures the consistency and reliability of the testing data.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, the anti-slip mat is made of rubber.

[0018] Because the anti-slip pad is made of rubber, it can effectively increase the friction between the hand and the bottom of the inner sleeve rod, effectively preventing the hand from slipping and ensuring the stability and safety of the measurement process. In addition, during long-term testing work, the elasticity of the rubber anti-slip pad can provide a certain soft touch, reduce hand pressure and fatigue, and help reduce labor intensity.

[0019] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a groove is provided at the bottom of the fixing block, and the magnet is embedded in the groove at the bottom of the fixing block.

[0020] Because the bottom of the fixing block has a groove, the magnet is embedded in the groove, allowing the magnet to be accurately installed on the bottom of the fixing block. This enables the illuminance meter to be more precisely aligned with the bottom of the fixing block after being attracted by the magnet, and the attraction force between the illuminance meter and the magnet is more evenly distributed, enhancing the adhesion and ensuring the consistency of the positions of the fixing block, magnet, and illuminance meter, thereby improving the accuracy of illuminance detection on the inner surface of the pipe.

[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model, the illuminance meter is a digital illuminance meter.

[0022] Because the illuminance meter is a digital illuminance meter, it can accurately convert the received light signal into a digital signal, thereby achieving high-precision detection of illuminance. In the inspection of the inner surface of pipelines, accurate illuminance data is crucial for judging the lighting conditions inside the pipeline and detecting whether there are problems of uneven or insufficient lighting. Compared with traditional analog illuminance meters, digital illuminance meters can provide more accurate and stable detection results, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the inspection and improving work efficiency.

[0023] As a further improvement of this utility model, the illuminometer is provided with a protective cover.

[0024] In practical scenarios such as pipeline inner surface inspection, the illuminance meter may collide with the inner wall of the pipeline or obstacles as the measuring sleeve moves. By setting a protective cover on the illuminance meter, it can act as a buffer barrier to absorb and disperse the impact force generated by the collision, preventing the key components such as the housing and sensor of the illuminance meter from being directly damaged by the impact, thereby extending the service life of the illuminance meter.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0034] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a light intensity device for detecting the inner surface of a pipe includes: a measuring sleeve 101, a fixing block 102 is provided at one end of the measuring sleeve 101; a magnet 103 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the fixing block 102, and a light intensity meter 104 is adsorbed at the bottom of the magnet 103; and a scale value 105 is provided on the measuring sleeve 101.

[0036] Specifically, the illuminance device for detecting the inner surface of the pipe can insert a illuminance meter 104 into the pipe via a measuring sleeve 101 to detect the inner surface of the pipe. The illuminance meter 104 is magnetically attached to the measuring sleeve 101, ensuring that it will not easily fall off or shake during the insertion process, thus improving measurement stability. It also facilitates easy assembly and disassembly of the illuminance meter 104, reducing the need for multiple personnel and greatly simplifying the operation process. Furthermore, compared to traditional methods that require personnel to insert their hands into the pipe, this device prevents operators' hands from coming into contact with burrs on the inner surface of the pipe, avoiding scratches. Simultaneously, the scale value 105 allows operators to accurately know the specific location of the illuminance meter 104 within the pipe, facilitating the recording and comparison of illuminance data at different locations, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.

[0037] Furthermore, the measuring sleeve 101 includes an outer sleeve 1011 and an inner sleeve 1012, with the inner sleeve 1012 being telescopically disposed within the outer sleeve 1011.

[0038] Specifically, since the measuring sleeve 101 includes an outer sleeve 1011 and an inner sleeve 1012, and the inner sleeve 1012 is telescopically installed inside the outer sleeve 1011, the inner sleeve 1012 can be telescopically adjusted according to the length of the pipeline, thereby increasing the overall length of the measuring sleeve 101, which facilitates the detection of illuminance inside the pipeline and effectively improves the detection range of the device.

[0039] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad 1013 is provided at the bottom of the inner sleeve rod 1012.

[0040] Specifically, by setting an anti-slip pad 1013 at the bottom of the inner sleeve rod 1012, the friction between the hand and the bottom of the inner sleeve rod 1012 can be increased, allowing the operator to hold the measuring sleeve rod 101 more firmly. This ensures that the measuring sleeve rod 101 can be effectively prevented from slipping from the hand when the operator maintains the testing posture for a long time, thereby better controlling the extension and movement of the measuring sleeve rod 101, making it easier to cope with various complex testing environments, and ensuring the consistency and reliability of the testing data.

[0041] Furthermore, the anti-slip mat 1013 is made of rubber.

[0042] Specifically, since the anti-slip pad 1013 is made of rubber, it can effectively increase the friction between the hand and the bottom of the inner sleeve rod 1012, effectively preventing the hand from slipping and ensuring the stability and safety of the measurement process. Furthermore, during long-term testing work, the elasticity of the rubber anti-slip pad 1013 can provide a certain soft touch, reducing hand pressure and fatigue, and helping to reduce labor intensity.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, a groove is provided at the bottom of the fixing block 102, and the magnet 103 is embedded in the groove at the bottom of the fixing block 102.

[0044] Specifically, since the bottom of the fixing block 102 is provided with a groove, the magnet 103 is embedded in the groove at the bottom of the fixing block 102, so that the magnet 103 can be accurately installed at the bottom of the fixing block 102. This allows the illuminance meter 104 to be more accurately aligned with the bottom of the fixing block 102 after being attracted by the magnet 103. Furthermore, the attraction force between the illuminance meter 104 and the magnet 103 is more evenly distributed, enhancing the adhesion of the attraction and ensuring the consistency of the positions of the fixing block 102, the magnet 103, and the illuminance meter 104, thereby improving the accuracy of illuminance detection on the inner surface of the pipeline.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the illuminance meter 104 is a digital illuminance meter.

[0046] Specifically, since the illuminance meter 104 is a digital illuminance meter, it can accurately convert the received light signal into a digital signal, thereby achieving high-precision detection of illuminance. In the inspection of the inner surface of pipelines, accurate illuminance data is crucial for judging the lighting conditions inside the pipeline and detecting whether there are problems of uneven or insufficient lighting. Compared with traditional analog illuminance meters, digital illuminance meters can provide more accurate and stable detection results, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of inspection and improving work efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, a protective cover is provided on the illuminometer 104.

[0048] Specifically, in practical scenarios such as pipeline inner surface inspection, the illuminance meter 104 may collide with the inner wall of the pipeline or obstacles as the measuring sleeve 101 moves. By setting a protective cover on the illuminance meter 104, it can act as a buffer barrier to absorb and disperse the impact force generated by the collision, preventing the key components such as the housing and sensor of the illuminance meter 104 from being directly damaged by the impact, thereby extending the service life of the illuminance meter 104.

[0049] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
