Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe cleaning device technology, and in particular to an endoscopic pipe cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Pipelines are ubiquitous, whether in industrial production or daily life. They play a vital role in transporting resources and discharging pollutants, and are an important part of human life. However, after prolonged use, pipes are prone to blockage by foreign objects.

[0003] Existing technologies offer a variety of pipe cleaning tools, including clamping, pneumatic, and wire types. However, these tools cannot see the internal environment of the pipes when unclogging them. They mostly rely on brute force to expel foreign objects or blindly clamp them, making it impossible to perform precise operations. This not only wastes time but also easily aggravates the blockage problem, making them inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an endoscopic pipe cleaner to solve the technical problem of inconvenience in use in the existing technology.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: an endoscopic pipe cleaner, including a support pipe, a push rod, a clamping component, an adapter, and a camera;

[0006] The push rod is disposed at the top end of the support tube, and the end of the push rod can slide through the support tube;

[0007] The clamping member is disposed at the end of the support tube, and the top end of the clamping member is connected to the end of the push rod. The clamping member can extend outward from the support tube under the push of the push rod, or retract into the support tube under the pull of the push rod.

[0008] The adapter is sleeved on the support tube and is used to connect to an external display terminal.

[0009] The camera is located at the end of the support tube and shoots forward. The camera is electrically connected to the adapter.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the support tube is provided with a linear connector, one end of which is connected to the push rod, and the other end of which is connected to the clamping member.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the support tube is provided with an elastic element, and the inner wall of the support tube is provided with a first step. One end of the elastic element abuts against the push rod, and the other end of the elastic element abuts against the first step.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the end of the support tube is provided with a magnetic suction element.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the top end of the support tube is provided with a limiting cap that covers part of the opening at the top end of the support tube, and the middle part of the push rod is provided with a second step that can abut against the limiting cap.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the support tube includes a first branch tube, a metal flexible tube, a second branch tube, and a third branch tube connected in sequence, the push rod is located at the top of the first branch tube, the adapter is sleeved on the first branch tube, and the camera is disposed inside the third branch tube.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the third branch tube is provided with a convergence hole and a mounting hole, the push rod pulls the clamping member to converge into the convergence hole, and the camera is mounted in the mounting hole.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the adapter includes a housing and a PCB board. The inner wall of the housing is provided with a snap-fit ​​part, and the support tube is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove.

Then, the user can push the push rod to push the clamping member out of the support tube, so that the clamping member can clamp the blockage. Subsequently, the user pulls the push rod to retract the clamping member and tighten it around the blockage, effectively preventing the blockage from falling off. The camera can capture an image of the front of the support tube for the user's reference, enabling the user to accurately clamp the blockage by manipulating the clamping member, which is very convenient.

[0040] like Figure 1-7 An endoscopic drain cleaner is shown, comprising a support tube 1, a push rod 2, a clamping member 3, an adapter 4, and a camera 5. The push rod 2 is located at the top of the support tube 1, and its end can slide through the support tube 1. The clamping member 3 is located at the end of the support tube 1, and its top end is connected to the end of the push rod 2. The clamping member 3 can extend outward from the support tube 1 under the push of the push rod 2, or retract into the support tube 1 under the pull of the push rod 2. The adapter 4 is sleeved on the support tube 1 and is used to connect an external display terminal. The camera 5 is located at the end of the support tube 1 and faces forward to capture images. The camera 5 is electrically connected to the adapter 4. It should be noted that the upper end of the push rod 2 is equipped with a push cover 21, which makes it easy for the user to hold the push rod 2 and apply force. The adapter 4 is connected to an external display terminal to display the image of the inside of the pipe captured by the camera 5 on the display terminal. The display terminal is preferably a mobile phone. After connecting the adapter 4 to the mobile phone, the user can view the image captured by the camera 5 on the mobile phone, which brings great convenience to the user. When using this drain cleaner, the user pushes the push rod 2 into the support pipe 1. The clamping part 3 extends out of the support pipe 1 under the pushing force of the push rod 2, so that the clamping part 3 can be opened. At the same time, the user observes the display terminal to ensure that the clamping part 3 can accurately clamp the blockage. Then the user pulls the push rod 2 to pull the clamping part 3 inward to tighten the clamping part 3 and prevent the blockage from falling out. Then the blockage can be pulled out of the pipe to achieve the purpose of unblocking the pipe. In addition, this drain cleaner can also be used to grab valuable items that have fallen into the pipe. The user can accurately grab valuable items by observing the display terminal, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0041] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the initial state, the clamping member 3 is retracted into the support tube 1 to facilitate the support tube 1 to extend into the pipe. Then, the user can push the push rod 2 to push the clamping member 3 out of the support tube 1, so that the clamping member 3 can clamp the blockage. Subsequently, the user pulls the push rod 2 to make the clamping member 3 retract and clamp the blockage, effectively preventing the blockage from falling off. The camera 5 can capture an image in front of the support tube 1 for the user's reference, so that the user can operate the clamping member 3 to accurately clamp the blockage, which is very convenient.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 In one possible implementation, a linear connector 6 is provided inside the support pipe 1. One end of the connector 6 is connected to the push rod 2, and the other end is connected to the clamping member 3. It should be noted that both ends of the connector 6 are bent to form hooks. The lower end of the push rod 2 has a through hole. The hook at the upper end of the connector 6 passes through the through hole at the lower end of the push rod 2 to achieve the connection between the connector 6 and the push rod 2. The end of the clamping member 3 is connected to the hook at the lower end of the connector 6. In addition, the connector 6 is preferably a steel wire. The steel wire has high mechanical strength and elasticity, which can not only connect the push rod 2 and the clamping member 3 located at both ends of the support pipe 1 so that the push rod 2 can push / pull the clamping member 3 smoothly, but also bend to adapt to the complex environment inside the pipeline, and reduce the possibility of the connector 6 breaking after long-term use, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the support tube 1 is provided with an elastic element 7, and the inner wall of the support tube 1 is provided with a first step 111. One end of the elastic element 7 abuts against the push rod 2, and the other end of the elastic element 7 abuts against the first step 111. It should be noted that the push rod 2 can automatically rise under the elastic force of the elastic element 7, so that the clamping member 3 has an automatic retraction function, which brings great convenience to the user. The elastic element 7 is preferably a spring, which allows the wires on the connector 6 and the camera 5 to pass through the spring. The first step 111 can provide support and limit the elastic element 7, preventing the elastic element 7 from moving accidentally.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 In one possible implementation, the end of the support tube 1 is provided with a magnetic suction element 8. It should be noted that the end of the support tube 1 is provided with a magnetic suction groove 143, and the magnetic suction element 8 can be set in the magnetic suction groove 143 by adhesive bonding. When some metal products are inconvenient to clamp, they can be attracted by the magnetic suction element 8, thereby making it easier for the user to take out the metal products from the tube. Specifically, the magnetic suction element 8 is arc-shaped, and the magnetic suction element 8 is preferably a magnet. The clamping element 3 passes through the middle of the magnetic suction element 8.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4In one possible implementation, a limiting cap 9 is provided at the top of the support tube 1, covering part of the opening at the top of the support tube 1. A second step 22 is provided in the middle of the push rod 2, which can abut against the limiting cap 9. It should be noted that the push rod 2 extends into the support tube 1 from the opening at the top of the support tube 1. The limiting cap 9 is generally annular and is threadedly connected to the support tube 1. The inner ring of the limiting cap 9 extends to the opening so that the second step 22 can abut against the limiting cap 9, thereby limiting the push rod 2 and preventing it from sliding out of the support tube 1, which helps to improve the stability of the drain cleaner.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the support pipe 1 includes a first branch pipe 11, a metal flexible hose 12, a second branch pipe 13, and a third branch pipe 14 connected in sequence. A push rod 2 is located at the top of the first branch pipe 11, an adapter 4 is sleeved on the first branch pipe 11, and a camera 5 is disposed inside the third branch pipe 14. It should be noted that the support pipe 1, composed of the first branch pipe 11, the metal flexible hose 12, the second branch pipe 13, and the third branch pipe 14 connected in sequence, facilitates disassembly / assembly by the user, providing convenience for later maintenance of the drain cleaner. The metal flexible hose 12 possesses excellent flexibility, extensibility, and corrosion resistance, allowing it to bend within the pipe and adapt to the complex environment inside the pipe, thus improving the applicability of the drain cleaner.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 In one possible implementation, the third branch pipe 14 is provided with a convergence hole 141 and a mounting hole 142. The push rod 2 pulls the clamping member 3 to converge into the convergence hole 141, and the camera 5 is mounted in the mounting hole 142. It should be noted that the second branch pipe 13 and the third branch pipe 14 are threaded together, and the camera 5 is mounted in the mounting hole 142, which helps to improve the stability of the camera 5. The convergence hole 141 can limit the clamping member 3, which helps to improve the stability of the movement of the clamping member 3.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4In one possible implementation, the adapter 4 includes a housing 41 and a PCB board 42. The inner wall of the housing 41 has a snap-fit ​​part 411, and the support tube 1 has a snap-fit ​​groove 112. The snap-fit ​​part 411 extends into the snap-fit ​​groove 112 and snaps into the support tube 1. It should be noted that the housing 41 of the adapter 4 includes a front shell and a rear shell, which are fixedly connected by bolts. The snap-fit ​​part 411 extends into the snap-fit ​​groove 112 to snap the housing 41 into the first branch tube 11, thereby fixing the adapter 4 onto the first branch tube 11 and preventing accidental slippage. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​groove 112 communicates with the interior of the support tube 1 for cable routing. The cable of the camera 5 passes through the second branch tube 13 and the metal flexible tube 12, then enters the adapter 4 from the snap-fit ​​groove 112 of the first branch tube 11 and connects to the PCB board 42. The PCB board 42 is also fixed to the housing 41 by bolts and has a Type-C port. The device includes an interface 421, a button 422, a scroll wheel 423, a wireless communication module, and a signal enhancement module. Users can connect the Type-C interface 421 to a mobile phone using a data cable to display images captured by the camera 5 on the mobile phone via a wired connection. The button 422 is used to activate the camera 5's photo or video recording function. The scroll wheel 423 is used to adjust the intensity of the light on the camera 5 to improve image clarity. The wireless communication module (which can be a WiFi module or a Bluetooth module) is used to wirelessly connect to the mobile phone to display images captured by the camera 5 on the mobile phone via a wireless connection. The signal enhancement module is used to improve signal strength, thereby avoiding image distortion.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 7 In one possible implementation, the clamping member 3 includes two clamps 31 arranged crosswise. It should be noted that each clamp 31 has two clamping arms 311, which are elastically designed to expand outwards. When the clamp 31 is pushed out of the constriction hole 141, the clamping arms 311 automatically expand outwards to allow the clamp 31 to grasp the blockage. When the clamp 31 retracts, it clamps the blockage. The crosswise arrangement of the two clamps 31 allows the four clamping arms 311 of the clamping member 3 to simultaneously contact the blockage from four directions, improving the clamping strength of the clamping member 3 in holding the blockage. Theoretically, the two clamps 31 are perpendicular to each other, and the four clamping arms 311 are spaced 90° apart. In practical applications, because the clamps 31 are connected to the hook at the lower end of the connector 6, the clamps 31 can rotate within a certain range. That is, the angle between the clamping arms 311 can be adjusted according to the environmental conditions inside the pipe.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 7 In one possible implementation, the end of the clamp 31 is bent inward to form a clamping portion 312. It should be noted that the clamping portion 312 allows the clamp 31 to clamp the blockage more tightly, preventing the blockage from accidentally falling off, and thus improving the clamping strength of the clamping member 3 on the blockage.

[0051] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
