    摘要: A hydrodynamic apparatus for cleaning channels and for monitoring channels is provided for pipes and channels. A disadvantage of all conventional bottom floor cleaners, flushing heads, and channel-cleaning nozzles is that during the cleaning process no observation and determination of the soiling state or, respectively, of the cleaning state of the channel and no recognition of damaged areas in the channel is possible. According to the invention, a monitoring unit (6) is installed selectively in or at the channel-cleaning apparatus. For this purpose, for example, a hollow space (11) is furnished at the bottom floor cleaner (S), wherein the monitoring unit (6) is partly integrated into the hollow space (11). The monitoring unit (6) exhibits a camera module (7) or two camera modules (7a and 7b). A video emitter (15) is coordinated to each camera module (7). The transmission to a video receiver (V) is performed without cable wireless from the video emitter (15). The cleaning process can be followed in a monitor (M). As desired, also ballast material (12) can be filled into the hollow space (11).

    摘要: Detecting and locating leaks in building service lateral sewer pipelines is accomplished under remote control by inserting a lateral inspection television camera into the lateral pipeline from a main sewer pipeline. The lateral inspection camera is stored in a generally cylindrical launcher mechanism having a camera port opening through which the lateral camera may be projected and retracted using a hollow elongated and flexible push rod. The launcher is moved longitudinally in the main pipeline, along with a main television camera, until an entrance opening to a service lateral pipeline is viewed via the main camera. The launcher mechanism may also be rotated in order to properly align the camera aperture with the entrance to the lateral pipeline. The lateral camera can be propelled into the lateral pipeline by means of motor driven pinch rollers in the launcher mechanism pushing the push rod. Electrical power and video signals for the miniature camera are transmitted through a cable disposed within the push rod. An electronic switch is disposed in the launcher mechanism and is selectively actuable from a remote control station to effect alternative transmission of the lateral camera video signal and the main camera video signal to the remote control station.
