Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline inspection equipment technology, specifically a telescopic structure for a pipeline inspection probe. Background Technology

[0002] During pipeline inspection, it is often necessary to use a probe to penetrate deep into the pipeline for inspection. For example, application number CN202223281496.3 discloses an underground pipeline detection instrument, including a detection adjustment component and a detection and inspection component disposed on one side of the adjustment component. The adjustment component includes a main detection column disposed on one side of the handle, with a mounting box fixedly connected to one end of the main detection column. A second motor is disposed on one side of the mounting box. The detection and inspection component includes a rotating block and a cleaning component disposed on one side of the rotating block. The cleaning component is evenly distributed around the outer periphery of the rotating block and includes an automatic telescopic rod disposed on one side of the rotating block and a scraper disposed at one end of the automatic telescopic rod. A monitoring component is disposed on one side of the rotating block. This combination of cleaning and protective pipeline inspection equipment not only saves manpower and resources for pipeline cleaning and improves the cleanliness of the pipeline interior, but also saves cleaning time and protects the detection component inside the monitoring component, thus improving the practicality and service life of the device.

[0003] However, most existing pipe inspection probes are operated manually by hand. Due to the varying lengths of the probes, their extension and retraction are not flexible enough, and handheld operation is cumbersome, lacking automatic extension and retraction capabilities. Furthermore, the traditional handheld method suffers from poor stability, prone to wobbling and shifting during extension and retraction, affecting inspection accuracy and increasing the workload and cost for workers. Therefore, this application proposes a pipe inspection probe extension structure to address these issues.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a telescopic structure for a pipeline inspection probe to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a telescopic probe structure for pipeline inspection, comprising: a main body, with telescopic channels extending through both ends of the main body, an adjustment groove at the bottom of the telescopic channels, a gear inside the adjustment groove, a motor connected to a rotating shaft on one side of the gear, and a telescopic rod at the bottom of the adjustment groove; a rod body extending through the main body, with a toothed groove on one side of the rod body; and a support mechanism including a first support roller and a second support roller installed at both ends of the main body.

[0007] Preferably, the rod body is sleeved with the telescopic channel, the gear is meshed with the tooth groove, the gear is movably connected with the adjustment groove, the motor is bolted to the telescopic rod, the telescopic rod is bolted to the main body, and a control switch is fixedly installed on one side of the main body. The control switch is connected to the motor and the telescopic rod wires respectively, and is used to drive the probe rod to extend and retract for detection.

By installing a first support roller and a second support roller at both ends of the main body, the probe can be stably supported and the displacement of the probe can be prevented from causing tilting in the telescopic direction.

[0014] The utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Please see Figure 1-4 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a telescopic probe structure for pipeline inspection includes: a main body 1, with telescopic channels 101 extending through both ends of the main body 1, an adjustment groove 102 at the bottom of the telescopic channels 101, a gear 103 inside the adjustment groove 102, a motor 104 connected to a rotating shaft on one side of the gear 103, and a telescopic rod 105 at the bottom of the adjustment groove 102; a rod body 2, extending through the main body 1, with a toothed groove 201 on one side of the rod body 2; and a support mechanism including a first support roller 301 and a second support roller 302 installed at both ends of the main body 1. The present invention enables the telescopic rod 105 to drive the gear 103 to mesh with the toothed groove 201, and the motor 104 to drive the gear 103 to rotate, thereby driving the probe to telescopically move, suitable for telescopic detection in pipeline inspection.

[0015] According to the above-described scheme of this utility model, the rod body 2 is sleeved with the telescopic channel 101, the gear 103 is meshed with the tooth groove 201, the gear 103 is movably connected with the adjusting groove 102, the motor 104 is bolted to the telescopic rod 105, the telescopic rod 105 is bolted to the main body 1, and a control switch 106 is fixedly installed on one side of the main body 1. The control switch 106 is wired to the motor 104 and the telescopic rod 105 respectively. The motor 104 is a geared motor, and the telescopic rod 105 is an electric push rod. The start and stop of the motor 104 are controlled by the control switch 106. When the motor 104 starts, the motor 104 drives the gear 103 to rotate. Since the gear 103 meshes with the tooth groove 201 on the rod body 2, the rod body 2 is driven to telescopically move within the telescopic channel 101. At the same time, the telescopic rod 105 can be controlled to extend or retract according to actual needs by the control switch 106. The extension or retraction of the telescopic rod 105 can adjust the position of the gear 103, thereby fine-tuning the connection accuracy of the gear 103.

[0016] According to the above-described scheme of this utility model, the first support roller 301 is located at the top of the telescopic channel 101 and is connected to the main body 1 by a bearing. The second support roller 302 is located at the bottom of the telescopic channel 101 and is connected to the main body 1 by a bearing. The rod 2 is pressed and connected to the first support roller 301 and the second support roller 302 respectively. Both the first support roller 301 and the second support roller 302 are made of rubber anti-slip rollers. During the telescopic process of the rod 2, the first support roller 301 and the second support roller 302 provide support for the rod 2. The first support roller 301 is located at the top of the telescopic channel 101 and the second support roller 302 is located at the bottom of the telescopic channel 101. They are pressed and connected to the rod 2 to reduce the swaying and displacement of the rod 2 during the telescopic process and ensure the smooth telescopic process of the rod.

[0017] When rod 2 needs to be extended, the operator starts motor 104 via control switch 106. Motor 104 drives gear 103 to rotate clockwise. Since gear 103 meshes with the toothed groove 201 on rod 2, the rotation of gear 103 pushes rod 2 forward along telescopic channel 101. During extension, first support roller 301 and second support roller 302 support rod 2, ensuring smooth extension. If the precision of gear 103 connection needs adjustment, telescopic rod 105 can be extended / retracted via control switch 106. Telescopic rod 105 drives motor 104 and gear 103 to move, fine-tuning the precision of gear 103's connection with toothed groove 201. Different specifications of probe rods can also be connected later.

[0018] When it is necessary to retract the rod 2, the operator reverses the motor 104 by controlling the switch 106, which drives the gear 103 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby causing the rod 2 to retract along the telescopic channel 101. Similarly, the first support roller 301 and the second support roller 302 play a supporting role during the retraction of the rod 2, ensuring that the rod 2 retracts smoothly.
