Furthermore, during the acquisition process, the downhole lighting is poor, which can easily lead to insufficient light and affect the acquisition results.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an underground meter reading device, including a control handle 1, a mobile phone fixing component 2 connected to the right side of the control handle 1, and a multi-angle underground meter reading component 3 connected to the left side of the control handle 1. The multi-angle underground meter reading component 3 includes a connecting rod 301 welded to the left side of the control handle 1, a battery 302 installed on the outside of the connecting rod 301, a camera controller 303 set on the left side of the battery 302, a telescopic rod 304 connected to the left side of the connecting rod 301, a limiting sleeve 305 installed on the outside of the telescopic rod 304, a primary rotary motor 306 welded to the end of the telescopic rod 304, an extension rod 307 connected to the left side of the primary rotary motor 306, a secondary motor 308 installed at the end of the extension rod 307, a camera mounting slot 309 welded to the outside of the secondary motor 308, and a high-definition camera 310 installed on the inside of the camera mounting slot 309.

[0033] Furthermore, the mobile phone fixing component 2 includes a mobile phone fixing bracket 201 welded to the right side of the control grip 1. A limiting clip 202 is installed on the outside of the mobile phone fixing bracket 201. A motor control knob 203 is installed on the upper side of the limiting clip 202. When needed, the staff inserts the mobile phone into the mobile phone fixing bracket 201 and uses the limiting clip 202 to limit the mobile phone, so that the staff can better observe the content displayed on the mobile phone screen.

[0034] Furthermore, the telescopic rod 304 passes through the inner side of the connecting rod 301. The telescopic rod 304 and the connecting rod 301 form a locking structure through the limiting sleeve 305. When needed, the operator pulls the telescopic rod 304 out of the connecting rod 301 to a suitable length, and then locks and fixes the telescopic rod 304 and the connecting rod 301 by rotating the limiting sleeve 305, thereby adapting to the downhole meter reading distance at different depths.

[0035] Furthermore, the primary rotary motor 306 and the extension rod 307 are welded together. The telescopic rod 304 and the extension rod 307 form a rotating structure through the primary rotary motor 306. When needed, the primary rotary motor 306 drives the extension rod 307 to rotate at multiple angles, thereby assisting the high-definition camera 310 to make large-angle adjustments, so that the high-definition camera 310 can be aligned with the meter to be read as much as possible.

[0036] Furthermore, the camera mounting slot 309, in conjunction with the secondary motor 308, rotates along the extension rod 307. The secondary motor 308 is electrically connected to the motor control knob 203. When needed, the secondary motor 308 drives the high-definition camera 310 inside the camera mounting slot 309 for precise adjustment. Meanwhile, the operator precisely controls the rotation angle of the secondary motor 308 and the primary rotary motor 306 by rotating the motor control knob 203, thereby achieving accurate reading of downhole instruments and ensuring data accuracy and ease of operation.

[0037] Furthermore, the high-definition camera 310 is connected to the camera mounting slot 309 via a card slot, and the high-definition camera 310 is electrically connected to the battery 302 and the camera controller 303. When needed, the operator powers the high-definition camera 310 by starting the battery 302 and adjusts the image parameters through the camera controller 303 to ensure that the high-definition camera 310 can clearly capture instrument data under different lighting conditions, thereby improving the reading efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, a lamp holder 311 is welded to the outside of the camera mounting slot 309, and an LED supplementary light 312 is connected to the inner slot of the lamp holder 311. When needed, the staff can activate the LED supplementary light 312 through the camera controller 303 to provide sufficient lighting for the underground environment, ensuring that the high-definition camera 310 can still clearly capture instrument data under dim conditions, further improving the accuracy of reading and the convenience of operation.

[0039] Working principle: When needed, the operator first inserts the mobile phone into the mobile phone holder 201 and uses the limiting clip 202 to limit the phone. Then, the power cord is connected to the camera controller 303, and the battery 302 provides power. After preparation, according to the depth of the water meter in the well, the telescopic rod 304 is pulled out from the connecting rod 301 and the length is fixed using the limiting screw sleeve 305. Then, the operator holds the control handle 1 and extends the high-definition camera 310 in the camera mounting slot 309 into the well. At this time, the operator controls the first-stage rotary motor 306 and the second-stage motor 308 through the motor control knob 203 to drive the extension rod 307 and the high-definition camera 310 to adjust their angles and align them with the meter to be read in the well. At the same time, the LED supplementary light 312 in the light holder 311 will provide supplementary lighting to avoid the well environment being dark. This completes the use of the well meter reading device.
