Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground coal mine detection technology, specifically to an endoscope with cable markings. Background Technology
[0002] When conducting depth detection of damage to the roof and floor of coal seams underground, the borehole inspection instrument is a key piece of equipment.
[0003] Existing endoscopes cannot be directly judged in terms of the depth of insertion during operation. They require manual counting or external equipment to assist in measurement, which is inefficient and prone to errors. If the endoscope does not accurately reach the target depth, the position needs to be adjusted multiple times, increasing equipment wear and construction costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by designing an endoscope with cable markings.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An endoscope with cable graduations, comprising:
[0007] Host;
[0008] An explosion-proof enclosure, wherein the main body of the viewing device is installed inside the explosion-proof enclosure;
[0009] A cable, one end of which is connected to the host computer, and the other end of which is connected to the main body of the viewing device;
[0010] A depth observation component is used to observe the descent depth of the cable. The depth observation component is disposed on the outer layer of the cable so that the depth observation component moves with the cable.
[0011] By using the depth observation component to monitor the depth in real time, the depth below the main body of the peephole can be directly observed without the need for additional measuring tools or repeated adjustments, thus reducing equipment wear and tear and construction costs, and improving detection accuracy.
[0012] Furthermore, the depth observation component includes a guide plate with a downward sliding through hole and an anti-slip hole. A communication port is provided between the anti-slip hole and the downward sliding through hole, and two rubber baffles are fixedly connected inside the communication port. Multiple universal ball bearings are installed inside the downward sliding through hole, and the cable passes through the downward sliding through hole. An anti-slip sleeve is provided on the inner wall of the anti-slip hole.
[0013] The cable is guided through the sliding hole by a universal ball bearing, which makes the cable run smoothly and avoids wear. The cable is fixed by an anti-slip sleeve in the anti-slip hole to prevent it from slipping and to lock the position of the viewing device.
[0014] Furthermore, the depth observation component also includes a rubber outer layer, which is disposed on the outer layer of the cable, and the rubber outer layer is provided with scale lines.
[0015] The rubber outer layer increases the cable's lifespan and abrasion resistance, and the scale lines allow direct observation of the depth beneath the main body of the viewing device.
[0016] Furthermore, the connection between the cable and the explosion-proof housing is covered with silicone rubber.
[0017] Silicone rubber is used to dampen and cushion the connection between the cable and the explosion-proof housing.
[0018] Furthermore, the outer rubber layer is made of high-strength wear-resistant material, each scale line is spaced 10cm apart, the scale lines are laser-engraved or chemically etched, and the scale lines are made of fluorescent or reflective material.
[0019] The graduation lines are clearly visible even in low light conditions.
[0020] Furthermore, the main body of the spy device includes a camera, a light source, and a data transmission module, and the light source is an intensity-adjustable light source.
[0021] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the sliding through hole is larger than the diameter of the cable, and the inner diameter of the anti-slip sleeve is the same as the diameter of the rubber outer layer. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 An endoscope with cable graduations is shown, comprising:
[0030] Host 1;
[0031] An explosion-proof enclosure 2, wherein a viewing device body 3 is provided inside the explosion-proof enclosure 2;
[0032] Cable 4, one end of which is connected to host 1, and the other end of which is connected to the viewing device body 3;
[0033] A depth observation component 5 is used to observe the descent depth of the cable 4. The depth observation component 5 is disposed on the outer layer of the cable 4 so that the depth observation component 5 moves with the cable 4.
[0034] In use, the explosion-proof housing 2 is slowly lowered into the borehole via the cable 4. The depth is monitored in real time by the depth observation component 5. The depth below the main body 3 of the peephole can be directly observed without the need for additional measuring tools or repeated adjustments, which reduces equipment wear and construction costs. After reaching the target depth, the main body 3 of the peephole starts working and transmits the image to the host 1.
[0035] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 Included with instruction manual Figure 3The depth observation component 5 includes a guide plate 6, which has a sliding through hole 7 and an anti-slip hole 8. A connecting port 9 is provided between the anti-slip hole 8 and the sliding through hole 7. Two rubber baffles 10 are fixedly connected inside the connecting port 9. Multiple universal balls 11 are installed inside the sliding through hole 7. The cable 4 passes through the sliding through hole 7. An anti-slip sleeve 12 is provided on the inner wall of the anti-slip hole 8.
[0036] After lowering the explosion-proof housing 2 into the borehole, the operator places the guide plate 6 at the borehole opening. At this time, the cable 4 is located in the sliding through hole 7, and the cable 4 is in contact with the universal ball bearing 11. The cable 4 is lowered and guided by the universal ball bearing 11. The bottom of the cable 4 is smooth, which can avoid wear on the cable 4. After reaching the target depth, the cable 4 is moved from the sliding through hole 7 into the anti-slip hole 8 through the connecting port 9. The distance between the two rubber baffles 10 is less than the diameter of the cable 4. The rubber baffles 10 are made of flexible material and can deform to allow the cable 4 to pass through. After the cable 4 enters the anti-slip hole 8, it is prevented from moving out by the rubber baffles 10. The anti-slip sleeve 12 in the anti-slip hole 8 fixes the cable 4 to prevent it from slipping and locks the position of the viewing instrument body 3.
[0037] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 Instruction manual attached Figure 3 Included with instruction manual Figure 4 The depth observation component 5 also includes a rubber outer layer 13, which is disposed on the outer layer of the cable 4, and has scale lines 14 on it.
[0038] The rubber outer layer 13 increases the service life and wear resistance of the cable 4. The depth below the main body 3 of the viewing instrument can be directly observed through the scale line 14 without the need for additional measuring tools or repeated adjustments, thus reducing equipment wear and construction costs and improving detection accuracy.
[0039] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 3 Included with instruction manual Figure 4 The connection between cable 4 and explosion-proof housing 2 is covered with silicone rubber 15.
[0040] Silicone rubber 15 is used to dampen and buffer the connection between cable 4 and explosion-proof housing 2.
[0041] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 The outer rubber layer 13 is made of high-strength wear-resistant material. Each of the scale lines 14 is 10cm apart. The scale lines 14 are laser-engraved or chemically etched. The scale lines 14 are made of fluorescent or reflective material.
[0042] The scale line 14 is made of fluorescent or reflective material and is clearly visible even in low light conditions.
[0043] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 4 The main body of the spy device 3 includes a camera 16, a light source 17, and a data transmission module 18. The light source is an intensity-adjustable light source.
[0044] Images are captured by camera 16 and supplemented by light source 17, so that images captured in dark environments are clearly visible. The images are then transmitted to host 1 via data transmission module 18.
[0045] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
