Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of pipeline plugging, and in particular to a multi-section sealing structure of a wedge ring compression type pipeline plugging device. Background Art

[0002] Pipeline plugging technology is widely used in various industrial fields, especially in pipeline maintenance, inspection and fluid transportation systems. Its main function is to use the plugging device to temporarily or permanently seal the pipeline without dismantling the pipeline to prevent internal medium leakage and ensure the stable operation of the system. This technology is particularly important in the oil, natural gas, chemical, water supply and other industries, because once the pipeline leaks, it may have a serious impact on production safety, environmental protection and economic benefits. Therefore, reliable pipeline plugging technology has become a key link in pipeline management in various industries.

[0003] The traditional wedge ring plugging mechanism is one of the common plugging devices, which mainly relies on the axial compression of a single wedge ring to achieve pipeline sealing. Its basic principle is to use the radial expansion and compression effect of the wedge ring to tightly squeeze the plugging material between the pipe wall and the plugging device to achieve a sealing effect. However, the traditional wedge ring plugging mechanism generally has the following problems:

[0004] The sealing material of the wedge ring sealing mechanism is usually elastic materials such as rubber, but these materials are prone to aging after long-term use, resulting in weakened elasticity and reduced sealing performance. The aging effect gradually accumulates during the use of the pipeline, which may eventually lead to sealing failure and medium leakage;

[0005] The traditional wedge ring plugging mechanism can achieve a good sealing effect when it is first installed, but as time goes by, the sealing performance will gradually decrease, and it is difficult to dynamically adjust or compensate in the later stage. Especially when the pipeline is hidden, it is very difficult to re-seal the pipe, which increases the difficulty of maintenance and repair.

[0006] Traditional wedge ring sealing mechanisms usually only have the ability to lock and tighten in the axial direction, but lack radial support and tightening effects, which leads to the sealing structure being prone to poor sealing under complex stress conditions, affecting the long-term stability of the seal.

[0007] After the sealing performance gradually deteriorates, the traditional wedge ring sealing mechanism often cannot provide effective secondary sealing, thereby exacerbating the risk of leakage and making it difficult to meet the application requirements of long-term sealing.

[0047] All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed, except mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.

[0048] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any additional claims, abstract and drawings), unless otherwise stated, may be replaced by other equivalent or alternative features with similar purposes. That is, unless otherwise stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a multi-stage sealing structure of a wedge ring compression type pipeline plugging device of the present invention comprises a pipeline 2, wherein the pipeline 2 is fixedly installed in a perforation 1 through a wedge ring plugging mechanism;

[0050] At least two wedge ring plugging mechanisms are installed on the pipeline 2 at intervals. In this embodiment, the wedge ring plugging mechanism is set to two sections, acting on the pipeline 2 to achieve two-section sealing. When one of the wedge ring plugging mechanisms has a sealing problem, the other wedge ring plugging mechanism can be used to achieve sealing and plugging;

[0051] It also includes a central fixing mechanism, which is fixedly installed on the outside of the pipeline 2 and is used to fix the pipeline 2 to the inner wall of the perforation 1. The central fixing mechanism is located between the two wedge ring plugging mechanisms. The central fixing mechanism is used to be fixed in the pipeline 2. It cannot be displaced in the axial position, so as to serve as the central positioning point of the two wedge ring plugging mechanisms.

[0052] Among them, an elastic tensioning mechanism is arranged between the central fixing mechanism and each wedge ring sealing mechanism, and each wedge ring sealing mechanism is kept in an elastic tensioning state between the pipeline 2 and the perforation 1 through the elastic tensioning mechanism. When there is a problem with the sealing performance of the two wedge ring sealing mechanisms, the elastic tensioning mechanism is used to radially tighten each wedge ring sealing mechanism, so that the entire wedge ring sealing mechanism maintains a floating sealing adjustment state during use, so that the entire wedge ring sealing mechanism is in a better sealing state.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wedge ring sealing mechanism includes:

[0054] A first wedge ring 6 and a second wedge ring 9;

[0055] It also includes an inner wedge ring 17 and an outer wedge ring 8, wherein the inner wedge ring 17 is installed in the outer wedge ring 8, and the outer wedge ring 8 is provided with a first annular extrusion surface 82 on both sides, and the inner wedge ring 17 is provided with a second annular extrusion surface 21 on both sides, and the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 are installed on both sides of the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8, and the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 are provided with a third annular extrusion surface 13 at the position corresponding to the first annular extrusion surface 82, and the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 are provided with a fourth annular extrusion surface 101 at the position corresponding to the second annular extrusion surface 21. Through the provision of the annular extrusion surface, when the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 are clamped toward the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8, the extrusion is completed by the inclined extrusion surface, thereby realizing the tightening action of the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8, so that it can achieve a radial tightening through axial locking;

[0056] It also includes a locking mechanism, which is installed on the outside of the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9. The locking mechanism passes through the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9, and the first wedge ring 6, the second wedge ring 9, the inner wedge ring 17, and the outer wedge ring 8 are pressed by the locking mechanism, and the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8 are tightened between the through hole 1 and the pipeline 2. The inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8 are locked in the axial direction by the locking mechanism to complete the tightening action;

[0057] like Figure 6-Figure 8As shown, a gap cavity is formed between the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8, and the elastic tensioning mechanism includes a tensioning ring 14 and an elastic tensioning mechanism. The tensioning ring 14 is installed in the gap cavity, and the elastic tensioning mechanism is used to pull the wedge ring sealing mechanism toward the central fixing mechanism. The locking mechanism passes through the tensioning ring 14, and the tensioning ring 14 is used to apply radial tensioning force to the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8, so that the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8 can be floatingly tensioned during use. When the sealing performance of the outer wedge ring 8 and the inner wedge ring 17 deteriorates, radial tension can be achieved by the radial tensioning force of the tensioning ring 14 to prevent the sealing performance from deteriorating too quickly.

[0058] Among them, the tension ring 14 is annular, the outer circumferential surface of the tension ring 14 is provided with a first inflatable extrusion ring 16, the inner circumferential surface of the tension ring 14 is provided with a second inflatable extrusion ring 15, the inner circumferential surface of the outer wedge ring 8 is provided with a first annular cavity 83, the outer circumferential surface of the inner wedge ring 17 is provided with a second annular cavity 18, the first inflatable extrusion ring 16 is buckled into the first annular cavity 83, the second inflatable extrusion ring 15 is buckled into the second annular cavity 18, the first inflatable extrusion ring 16 and the second inflatable extrusion ring 15 can be kept in an expanded state by inflation, when one of the wedge ring plugging machines When the sealing performance of the wedge ring plugging mechanism deteriorates and the mechanism is axially displaced between the pipeline 2 and the through hole, the first inflatable extrusion ring 16 and the second inflatable extrusion ring 15 can be driven to expand radially through the elastic tensioning mechanism, thereby applying radial tensioning force to the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8 to achieve the purpose of radial tensioning. The purpose of radial tensioning is achieved by using the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8 that have expanded again. Therefore, as long as the sealing performance of the wedge ring plugging mechanism deteriorates and the mechanism is axially displaced toward the central fixing mechanism, the deterioration of the sealing performance of the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8 can be compensated by adding more gas to the inflatable extrusion ring.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking mechanism includes a locking rod 4 and two end plates 3, the two end plates 3 are located at the outer ends of the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9, the locking rod 4 passes through the end plate 3, the first wedge ring 6, the tensioning ring 14, and the second wedge ring 9 in sequence, and a sealed cavity 41 is formed in the middle of the locking rod 4. The locking rod 4 is located at an opening at one end of the elastic tensioning mechanism, and the hollow locking rod 4 structure is used to continuously replenish gas into the inflatable extrusion ring to achieve expansion, thereby tightening the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8, and an axial hole 31 is provided on the end plate 3 for the locking rod 4 to pass through;

[0060] An air duct is provided at the position of each locking rod 4 corresponding to the first inflatable extrusion ring 16 and the second inflatable extrusion ring 15, through which the sealing cavity 41 is connected to the first inflatable extrusion ring 16 and the second inflatable extrusion ring 15. The hollow locking rod 4 is connected to the inflatable extrusion ring, so the displaced wedge ring sealing mechanism can squeeze the gas in the sealing cavity 41 into the inflatable extrusion ring.

[0061] Among them, Figure 6 As shown, the elastic tensioning mechanism includes a driving rod 12, a spring 100 and a sealing plug 22, one end of the driving rod 12 is fixed on the central fixing mechanism, and the other end extends into the sealing cavity 41 inside the locking rod 4, the sealing plug 22 is installed on the driving rod 12, and the sealing plug 22 seals the opening end of the sealing cavity 41, the spring 100 is sleeved on the outside of the driving rod 12, and one end of the spring 100 is fixedly connected to the end plate 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the central fixing mechanism. When the entire wedge ring sealing mechanism moves toward the central fixing mechanism, the gas in the sealing cavity 41 is squeezed into the inflation extrusion ring through the air guide tube, and the elastic force of the spring 100 is set as large as possible, so that there can be a larger pulling force, so that when the wedge ring sealing mechanism is displaced, the driving rod 12 can squeeze more gas into the inflation extrusion ring. When the sealing performance of the two wedge ring sealing mechanisms is sufficient, that is, after the wedge ring sealing mechanisms are installed and their sealing performance is guaranteed, they have sufficient tensioning force to allow the wedge ring sealing mechanisms to maintain the axial position of the perforation 1 and the pipeline 2. When the elasticity deteriorates after long-term use, the wedge ring sealing mechanisms will move slightly in the axial direction, and the driving rod 12 can be used to add an appropriate amount of gas to keep the entire wedge ring sealing mechanism in a floating tensioned state.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, a limit nut 42 is provided at one end of the locking rod 4, and an external thread section is provided at the other end of the locking rod 4, on which a locking nut 5 is installed. The two end plates 3 are locked by the locking nut 5 and the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 are squeezed by the two end plates 3. When locking, the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8 can be squeezed by the end plates 3 by rotating the locking nut 5.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, a conical hole is provided on the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 at a position corresponding to each locking rod 4, and a conical wedge block 24 is provided in each conical hole. The conical wedge block 24 is inserted into the conical hole and one end protrudes from the outside of the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9, and the protruding end thereof contacts the end plate 3, and the locking rods 4 are all provided through the conical wedge block 24.

[0064] Please continue reading Figure 7The outer circumferential surface of the outer wedge ring 8 has at least one first dividing groove, which is one first dividing groove in this embodiment. A first dividing ring 7 is arranged in the first dividing groove. The first dividing ring 7 is slightly convex from the outer circumferential surface of the outer wedge ring 8. The first dividing ring 7 is in contact with and pressed against the inner wall of the through hole 1;

[0065] At least one second dividing groove 23 is arranged on the inner ring surface of the inner wedge ring 17. In the present embodiment, there is one second dividing groove 23. A second dividing circle 20 is arranged in the second dividing groove 23. The second dividing circle 20 is slightly convex from the inner circular surface of the inner wedge ring 17. The second dividing circle 20 is in contact and pressed against the outer wall surface of the pipeline 2. When the first inflatable extrusion ring 16 and the second inflatable extrusion ring 15 are inflated and extruded, the dividing groove can be used as a dividing point, so that the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8 are retracted to achieve secondary sealing.

[0066] Wherein, first extension rings 81 are arranged at the positions where the end surfaces on both sides of the outer wedge ring 8 are connected with the outer circumferential surface of the outer wedge ring 8, and the first extension rings 81 extend toward the outer circumferential surfaces of the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 respectively;

[0067] A second extension ring 19 is provided at the position where the end surfaces on both sides of the inner wedge ring 17 are connected to the outer circumferential surface of the inner wedge ring 17, and the second extension ring 19 extends toward the inner circumferential surface of the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 respectively;

[0068] When the outer wedge ring 8 and the inner wedge ring 17 are subjected to radial compression by the tensioning ring 14, the outer wedge ring 8 and the inner wedge ring 17 respectively use the first dividing groove and the second dividing groove 23 as the center points, and the extension rings on both sides shrink inward toward the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 respectively, and the first extension ring 81 and the second extension ring 19 are used to seal the two ends of the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9.

[0069] In order to further improve the sealing performance and realize secondary sealing, sealing buckle grooves are provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of the first wedge ring 6 and the second wedge ring 9 at positions corresponding to the first extension ring 81 and the second extension ring 19. The first extension ring 81 and the second extension ring 19 are buckled into the sealing buckle grooves, and the cross-sections of the first dividing groove and the second dividing groove 23 are "V"-shaped. Therefore, after being squeezed by the inflatable extrusion ring, the openings on both sides of the inner wedge ring 17 and the outer wedge ring 8 can be squeezed inward, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the sealing performance.

[0070] Among them, Figure 6As shown, the central fixing mechanism includes a fixing disk 11, the inner circumferential surface of the fixing disk 11 is fixedly bonded to the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline 2, and the outer circumferential surface of the fixing disk 11 is fixedly bonded to the inner wall surface of the perforation 1. A fixing rod 10 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the fixing disk 11 corresponding to each driving rod 12, and one end of the driving rod 12 is fixedly installed on the end surface of the fixing rod 10. The central fixing mechanism serves as the central positioning point of the two wedge ring sealing mechanisms. When one or both of the wedge ring sealing mechanisms have sealing problems, the wedge ring sealing mechanism is pulled under the action of the spring 100 and is moved toward the central fixing mechanism. In this process, the sealing plug 22 can be used to squeeze out the gas in the sealing cavity 41 to ensure that the inflatable extrusion ring remains in an inflated and expanded state.

[0071] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
