Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater and sewage pipe detection rods, and in particular to a portable pipe detection rod equipped with a multi-functional probe. Background Technology

[0002] Stormwater and sewage pipes are an important component of urban underground pipe networks. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of underground pipe network management requirements, the demand for stormwater and sewage pipe detection has also been increasing. Due to reasons such as pipe blockage and siltation, misconnection of pipes, and groundwater infiltration, high water levels in stormwater and sewage pipes are quite common, which greatly interferes with the measurement of pipe routing and diameter.

[0003] In online pipeline monitoring, monitoring equipment often needs to be installed at the center of the pipeline to effectively monitor its operational status. Therefore, we propose a portable pipeline detection rod equipped with a multi-functional probe, which can locate the pipeline center under high water levels and assist in the installation of monitoring equipment. Furthermore, during pipeline flow monitoring, the monitoring equipment requires the pipeline diameter as a parameter. However, in practice, it has been found that the diameter data from surveys may contain errors due to outdated information or inaccurate measurements, affecting flow measurement. Therefore, we propose a portable pipeline detection rod equipped with a multi-functional probe that can simultaneously measure the diameter of stormwater and sewage pipelines operating at high water levels, verifying survey data and ensuring the accuracy of diameter parameters.
