[0003] According to patent application number 202321635825.1, a portable underground pipeline detection device includes a support plate, on which the device body is detachably mounted. Multiple limiting seats are located at the bottom of the support plate, and support legs are mounted on the limiting seats. A strip-shaped hole is formed on the bottom side of each support leg, and a positioning plate is connected to the strip-shaped hole via a rotating shaft. Multiple hollow positioning rods are mounted on the positioning plate, and positioning mechanisms are mounted on the positioning rods. Limiting components are located on the sides of the support legs. In this embodiment, when the detection device needs to be positioned, the multiple support legs are opened, the balance is adjusted, and then a knob is rotated to rotate the positioning plate out of the strip-shaped hole. Then, by squeezing the positioning plate, the positioning rods are inserted into the soil. Then, the pressure rod is pushed, and the transmission plate drives the transmission block through the transmission rod until the protrusion is embedded in the soil, thus completing the positioning. This improves the stability of the device during operation.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a portable underground pipeline detection device, including a detection unit 1. A displacement component 2 is provided at the bottom of the detection unit 1, and a pushing component 3 is provided on one side of the displacement component 2. The detection unit 1 includes a cover 11, and a detector 12 is provided in the inner cavity of the cover 11. A GPS receiver 13 is provided on one side of the cover 11, and a microcontroller 14 is provided on the top of the cover 11. The displacement component 2 includes a base frame 21, and a rubber plate 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the base frame 21. Springs 23 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the bottom of the rubber plate 22, and a damper 24 is provided in the inner cavity of the springs 23. A support rod 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the damper 24. One end of the support rod 25 extends through to the outside of the base frame 21 and is movably connected to a moving wheel 26 through a bearing.

[0024] like Figure 1-4As shown, by utilizing electromagnetic detection technology, the detector 12 can sense underground pipelines and acquire real-time location information through the GPS receiver 13. The microcontroller 14 integrates the data from the detector 12 and the GPS receiver 13 to help us clearly understand the direction and distribution of underground pipelines, thereby achieving accurate underground pipeline positioning. The detector 12 is housed inside the cavity of the housing 11, which provides protection for the detector 12 and ensures its safety. When relocation is required, the pushing component 3 can push the detection unit 1 and the displacement component 2. The four moving wheels 26 roll on the ground, reducing resistance during movement and making the movement of the detection unit 1 more convenient. No manual extraction is required, greatly improving the convenience of operation. When the detection unit 1 encounters an uneven road surface, the elastic force of the spring 23 will cause the support rod 25 and the moving wheel 26 to move up and down, ensuring that the moving wheel 26 always keeps in contact with the ground and achieves four-point support. During the movement, if a bump is encountered, the vibration force will be transmitted to the moving wheel 26, which will then drive the support rod 25 to move. The support rod 25 will transmit the force to the damper 24, the spring 23 and the rubber plate 22. The rubber plate 22 will buffer the vibration force and prevent it from being transmitted to the detection unit 1. At the same time, the restoring force of the damper 24 and the spring 23 can counteract the bump vibration force during the movement, achieving a vibration reduction effect and ensuring the stability of the detection unit 1.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Reference Figure 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0027] In this embodiment, the surface of the movable wheel 26 is provided with a brake pad, the top of the damper 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the rubber plate 22, and the bottom of the damper 24 is fixedly connected to the frame rod 25.

[0028] A limiting seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the cover 11. The probe 12 is located in the inner cavity of the limiting seat and is movably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting seat. The bottom of the cover 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 21.

[0029] A sealing plate 15 is movably connected to the front of the cover 11 via a hinge. A sealing strip is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plate 15, and the side of the sealing strip away from the sealing plate 15 contacts the cover 11.

[0030] like Figure 1-3As shown, the brake pads contact the movable wheel 26, thereby positioning the movable wheel 26 and preventing it from rotating. The damper 24 is connected to the rubber plate 22 and the support rod 25, which facilitates the buffering and offsetting of the force of bumps, thus achieving vibration reduction. The detector 12 is located in the inner cavity of the limit seat, which limits the detector 12 and prevents it from shaking inside the cover 11 and colliding with the inner wall of the cover 11, causing wear. The sealing plate 15 can seal the cover 11 to ensure the safety of the detector 12, and the sealing strip can seal the connection between the cover 11 and the sealing plate 15 to prevent external environmental factors from corroding the detector 12.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0033] In this embodiment, the output terminals of both the GPS receiver 13 and the detector 12 are connected to the input terminal of the microcontroller 14. The microcontroller 14 has a display screen on its top, and the display screen and the input terminal of the external terminal are both connected to the output terminal of the microcontroller 14. The GPS receiver 13 is a Trimble Juno T41, and the detector 12 is a Geophysical Instruments.

[0034] The push assembly 3 includes a connecting plate 31, one side of which is fixedly connected to the base frame 21. A screw 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 21, and a sleeve 33 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 32.

[0035] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the display screen is connected to an external terminal and a microcontroller 14. The microcontroller 14 can then transmit the sensing data of the GPS receiver 13 and the detector 12 to the display screen and the external terminal. The data can be displayed on the display screen and stored through the external terminal, so that personnel can understand the direction or distribution of underground pipelines and realize the detection and positioning of underground pipelines. By rotating the sleeve 33, since the sleeve 33 and the screw 32 are threadedly connected, the sleeve 33 can move up and down while rotating, so as to adjust the height. This makes it easy for personnel to adjust the sleeve 33 to a comfortable height when applying pushing force. By pushing the sleeve 33, the sleeve 33 transmits the thrust to the screw 32 and the connecting plate 31, so that the connecting plate 31 can transmit the thrust to the displacement component 2, so that the displacement component 2 drives the detection unit 1 to move.

[0036] In use, firstly, the detector 12 uses electromagnetic detection to sense underground pipelines, and the GPS receiver 13 acquires location information in real time. The microcontroller 14 receives data from the detector 12 and the GPS receiver 13, and transmits this data to the display screen for display, and simultaneously transmits the data to an external terminal for data storage. This process helps to understand the direction or distribution of underground pipelines, and realizes the detection and positioning of underground pipelines. The detector 12 is installed in the inner cavity of the housing 11 and is sealed by the sealing plate 15 to protect the detector 12 and ensure its safety. When it is necessary to move the detection unit 1, the sleeve 33 is rotated. Since the sleeve 33 is connected to the screw 32 by threads, rotating the sleeve 33 can simultaneously achieve up and down movement, which is convenient for adjusting to the required height. After pushing the sleeve 33, the force will be transmitted to the displacement component 2 through the screw 32 and the connecting plate 31. Subsequently, Four movable wheels 26 roll under force, reducing displacement resistance and facilitating the movement of the detection unit 1. No manual displacement is required throughout the process, effectively improving the ease of movement. After displacement, the wheels can be stopped by brake pads on their surfaces, achieving positioning. During displacement or when encountering uneven surfaces at the positioning location, the spring force of the spring 23 drives the support rod 25 and movable wheels 26 up and down, ensuring the wheels 26 remain in contact with the ground for four-point support. When encountering bumps during displacement, vibration is transmitted to the wheels 26, causing the support rod 25 to move. The support rod 25 then transmits the force to the damper 24, spring 23, and rubber plate 22. The rubber plate 22 buffers the vibration, preventing it from being transmitted to the detection unit 1. The restoring force of the damper 24 and spring 23 counteracts the vibration during movement, achieving vibration reduction and ensuring the stability of the detection unit 1.
