Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipeline plugging, and particularly relates to a pipeline hole plugging tool and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] When opening a hole and connecting a branch pipe on a running pipeline, a pipeline where some valves cannot be fully closed, or a pipeline with difficult drainage, it is difficult to complete the branch pipe welding work due to the presence of water flow, resulting in problems such as difficult construction and poor welding quality.

[0003] Currently, in the engineering industry, there is only one kind of pipe plugging device, namely a rubber airbag. This device has defects such as being unable to plug a pressure pipeline, a large difference in diameter between the branch pipe and the main pipe, being unable to be removed after plugging, requiring inflation during plugging, and difficult operation.
