Pipeline inspection device with enhanced image control
摘要
說明書
As previously mentioned, the hub 30 is removable from the drum 34 and may be attached to two different sized reels 26. Pipes typically come in two different sizes: a 1.5 to 3 inch diameter pipe and a 3 to 6 inch diameter pipe. Each of the two types of pipes requires a different diameter camera and cable. The smaller pipe (i.e., 1.5 to 3 inch pipe) requires a smaller diameter camera and cable that is more flexible, while the larger pipe requires a larger diameter camera and cable. Each of the smaller diameter camera and cable and the larger diameter camera and cable requires a corresponding large or small sized reel and cable drum, which are part of correspondingly sized pipeline inspection devices. In the illustrated embodiment, the hub 30 may be removably detached and interchangeably attached to each of the drums of the different sized pipeline inspection devices, such that a user only needs a single hub 30 containing the electronics (e.g., the video processor 170, the battery 174, the wireless communication device 178 (Wi-Fi hub), etc.) that can be used with either of the reels 26.
