9. A method for sealing a leak-sealing device as described in claim 8, characterized in that, The steps include: S1: Equipped with a mobile platform, this intelligent leak-sealing device is delivered to the location of the pipeline leak via a robotic arm; S2: Based on the pipeline leak point, control the hydraulic wrist to rotate, first making the plug of the intelligent leak sealing device face the pipeline leak point; S3: Then control the plugging device to approach the pipeline leak point until it fits the pipeline leak point. Control the hydraulic quick-change device to disengage from the intelligent leak-sealing device. At the same time, the leak-sealing claw assembly closes and clamps the leaking pipeline. The hydraulic oil in the sealing chamber flows to the hydraulic accumulator under the pressure of the claw, so that the sealing capsule adapts to the arc surface at the leak point and maintains a certain pressure. The claw squeezes the sealing chamber to press the pipeline leak point, thus completing the sealing of the pipeline leak. The mobile platform carrying the robotic arm, hydraulic wrist, and hydraulic quick-change device departs.
