[0022] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an improved pipe periscope, including a U-shaped rod 1, an organic body 2 installed in the middle of the U-shaped rod 1, a camera 4 and several searchlights 3 installed inside the organic body 2, both sides of the U-shaped rod 1 are connected to the connecting rod 6 through knobs 5, wheels 7 are installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 6, a handle 7 is installed on the upper part of the U-shaped rod 1, and an extension rod connection port 9 is provided on the upper part of the organic body 2.

[0023] The following section will explain the specific settings and functions of the handle 8 and knob 9.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment: the handle 8 includes a connecting rod 801, a handle 802 on the connecting rod 801, a finger-shaped recess 803 below the handle 802, and a protruding dot 804 in the finger-shaped recess 803. The connecting rod 801 is made of stainless steel, which increases its service life and prevents corrosion during use. The handle 802 is made of plastic, reducing weight and improving grip. The finger-shaped recess 803 is ergonomically designed, making it more comfortable and secure for operators to hold when moving the periscope. The protruding dot 804 in the finger-shaped recess 803 increases the friction between the handle and the palm, reducing the possibility of the periscope falling off during movement.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: the knob device 5 includes a knob housing 501, a bolt 502 inside the knob housing, a thread 503 at the connection point between the connecting rod 6 and the knob device, and a thread 504 at the connection point between the connecting rod 6 and the U-shaped rod 1. The knob housing 501 is made of plastic with vertical stripes around its perimeter. These vertical stripes increase the friction between the fingers and the knob, making it easier to turn and reducing physical exertion. The bolt 502, thread 503, and thread 504 are all made of stainless steel, which not only increases the service life of the bolt and thread but also prevents the bolt from corroding during use.

[0026] Detailed Instructions for Use: This product offers two movement methods. First, the operator can move the periscope directly by hand, holding the handle 8. Second, when moving the periscope, first rotate knob 5 clockwise to loosen it from the connecting rod 6 and U-shaped rod 1. Then, rotate the connecting rod 6 downwards to bring the wheel 7 into contact with the ground. Next, rotate knob 5 counterclockwise to re-secure it against the connecting rod 6 and U-shaped rod 1. Finally, insert the extension rod into the extension rod connector 9. The operator can then move the periscope by pushing the extension rod, which in turn moves the wheel.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the searchlight 3 includes a main light source and an auxiliary light source. The main light source is a 10W LED spotlight with a condenser cup, and the auxiliary light source consists of six 3W LED floodlights. Both are independently controlled and their brightness is infinitely adjustable. Simultaneously, an electrothermal defogging film is provided on the outer side of the lens of the camera 4. During detection, the brightness is adjusted according to the pipe diameter and degree of contamination. When detecting large-diameter pipes or oily inner walls, the main light source is used at high brightness with auxiliary supplementary lighting; when detecting small-diameter pipes or clean inner walls, the auxiliary light source is used at low brightness. A PET transparent electrothermal defogging film is attached to the outer side of the lens and connected to the machine's temperature control module. When the lens temperature is <10℃ and the humidity is ≥60%, the defogging film is powered on; when the temperature is >15℃ or the humidity is <50%, it is powered off to ensure clear imaging.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an elastic positioning pin is provided at the end of the extension rod mounting base 9. The elastic positioning pin extends and retracts radially along the extension rod mounting base 9, adapting to the positioning hole at the end of the extension rod. The two ends of the elastic positioning pin are located on the inner and outer sides of the extension rod mounting base 9, respectively. When it is necessary to connect the extension rod, the positioning hole at the end of the extension rod is aligned with the elastic positioning pin in the extension rod mounting base 9, and then the extension rod is inserted into the extension rod mounting base 9. During the insertion process, the elastic positioning pin is compressed and contracted. When the positioning hole reaches the elastic positioning pin, the elastic positioning pin is engaged in the extension rod, achieving a stable connection between the extension rod and the extension rod mounting base 9. When it is necessary to remove the extension rod, the elastic positioning pin is pulled outward to separate it from the positioning hole.
