DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The specific embodiments of the present application are further described in detail. Figures 1-9 The specific embodiments of the present application are further described in detail.
[0024] In use, in the initial state, the posture adjusting structure is in the storage state, that is, the support frame 4 is in the folded state, the winding device 11 is in the non-working state, the reset torsional spring 14 is in the initial state, and the inflation sealing structure is in the non-inflated state. In use, the whole structure is extended downward into the steel pipe of the T-shaped structure to be detected. In the extension, the extension angle is adjusted through the rotary connection between the lower end of the support frame 4 and the bidirectional drive motor 3. At the same time, the winding device 11 starts to wind the rope 12, which drives the change of the angle of the support frame 4 and the hollow support rod 2. Then, the elastic deformation of the support frame 4 makes the hollow support rod 2 continue to move downward until the hollow support rod 2 remains in the vertical state. At this time, the bidirectional support rod is pulled upward, and under the combined action of the elastic reset force of the support frame 4, the inflation sealing structure in the storage state is in the vertical upward extending state and contacts the inner wall of the upper end of the steel pipe, preventing the existence of gaps in the inflation sealing structure sealing part. Then, the posture adjusting structure is adjusted so that each inflation sealing structure is located at the corresponding position of the inner wall of the steel pipe. Then, the position of the inflation sealing structure in the extended part of the steel pipe is determined by the electric telescopic rod 13 at the lower end of the support frame 4. After adjusting the position of each inflation sealing structure, the inflation sealing structure can be controlled to complete the sealing action.
[0025] When the plugging is carried out, the bidirectional driving motor 3 or the driving motor connected by the expansion plugging structure is vertically arranged. The bidirectional driving motor 3 is bidirectional because the two expansion plugging structures matched with the bidirectional driving motor 3 need upward and synchronous movement force, so the driving screw rotation direction of the bidirectional driving motor 3 is opposite, that is, the expansion plugging structures in the upward and downward directions of the vertical arrangement can be expanded at the same time, and the expansion plugging structures on the side use a driving motor alone. In the movement process of each movement block, the rotating connecting rod 10 connected to each movement block is driven. Since one end of the rotating connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the movement block and the other end is rotatably connected to the corresponding arc-shaped support 8, and the arc-shaped movement piece is connected between the arc-shaped movement piece and the annular rubber ring 7, the arc-shaped support 8 will be expanded outward during the movement of the movement block, and the arc-shaped support 8 will be deformed by extrusion during the movement outward, thereby realizing the extrusion sealing effect. At the same time, the positions of adjacent arc-shaped movement pieces will change when each arc-shaped movement piece moves outward. On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure that the two adjacent arc-shaped movement pieces can be unfolded and moved, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the support force of the corresponding area is still retained after unfolding. Therefore, the two ends of each arc-shaped movement piece are only in contact with the annular rubber ring 7, not fixedly connected, and the ends of adjacent arc-shaped movement pieces are staggered. When each expansion plugging structure moves respectively, the T-shaped structure is welded and the division action is completed. At this time, all areas welded are in the same sealed space.
[0026] Then, after positioning is completed, the closed area is pressurized by the air pressure delivery pipe 1, and the pressure of the closed area is monitored by the pressure sensor 5 on the bidirectional driving motor 3 during the pressurization process. If the detected pressure value is unchanged, it means that there is no gap in the welded part. If the pressure value decreases, it needs to be detected whether there is impurity between the expansion plugging structure and the inner wall of the steel pipe. At this time, the plugging part can be replaced and the test can be repeated. If the results of multiple detections all have air leakage phenomenon and the numerical difference of the air leakage phenomenon is not large, and there is no impurity in the expansion plugging structure, it means that there is a gap in the welded part. Or, during the pressurization process, it can be judged whether there is air leakage phenomenon by listening to the sound. A liquid with viscosity, such as a liquid mixed with water and washing-up liquid, can also be applied to the welded part. If there is air leakage, bubbles will be generated.
[0027] And the gas pressure input through the air pressure delivery pipe 1, because the steel pipe upper and lower ends are supported respectively, the internal space exists a large amount of air pressure, if at this time directly make the expansion plugging structure reset, on the one hand because the expansion plugging structure is through the hemispherical end to block, at this time the air pressure is internal air pressure, so direct reset exists larger pressure, if forcibly reset will lead to the corresponding components easy to damage or lead to the change of precision, so need to the one-way conduction structure to carry on the deflation treatment, deflation, press the press bar 19 located outside the conduction shell 16, press the press bar 19 inwards press will extrude the sealing ball 18, make the sealing ball 18 move, and the sealing ball 18 moves will lose the sealing force, thus achieve the purpose of deflation, after deflation can make the expansion plugging structure reset, then release the winding device 11, the winding device 11 after release, the hollow support rod 2 and the support frame 4 between through the reset torsional spring 14 reset, then take out can.
