[0026] The features and performance of the non-pressure pipeline water-tightness test plugging device and test method of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0027] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a non-pressure pipeline water-tightness test plugging device, which includes an airbag 100 that can expand or contract to seal or unseal a pipeline 300, a pressure sensor 110 connected to one side of the airbag 100, and a support device 200 connected to the other side of the airbag 100. The support device 200 is configured to expand or contract outward to support or detach from the inner wall of the pipeline 300. The supporting device 200 includes a bidirectional screw 210, four support plates 220 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bidirectional screw 210, two threaded sleeves 230 respectively sleeved on both ends of the bidirectional screw 210 by threads, eight connecting rods 240, a bowl holder 260 connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 210 and a handle 250 connected to the other end of the bidirectional screw 210. The convex side of the bowl holder 260 is rotatably connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 210, and the concave side of the bowl holder 260 is connected to the airbag 100. Each threaded sleeve 230 is hinged to each support plate 220 through a connecting rod 240. The inner wall of the airbag 100 is provided with a protective The protective rubber strip 120 and the wire 130 of the pressure sensor 110 sequentially pass through the side of the airbag 100 away from the support device 200, the protective rubber strip 120, the side of the airbag 100 close to the support device 200, the bowl holder 260 and the bidirectional screw 210, and then extend out and are connected to the display screen 150. The inflation tube 140 of the airbag 100 sequentially passes through the bowl holder 260 and the bidirectional screw 210 and then extends out; eleven elastic rubber strips 221 are provided on the side of each support plate 220 away from the bidirectional screw 210, and the eleven elastic rubber strips 221 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the support plate 220, and each elastic rubber strip 221 extends along the width direction of the support plate 220.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a test method using the above-mentioned non-pressure pipe water-tightness test plugging device, which is used to perform a water-tightness test on a φ1000mm sewage inspection well and a DN500 reinforced concrete drainage pipe, including the following steps: Step 1: Check the installation of the newly built drainage pipes and sewage inspection wells, and make sure there are no debris, burrs or sharp edges in the pipes. Step 2: Place the non-pressure pipeline water-tightening test plugging device in the pipeline 300 to be sealed, with the airbag 100 located inside the pipeline 300, the support device 200 located outside the pipeline 300, and the end of the airbag 100 60 cm away from the end of the pipeline 300; Step 3: Control the support device 200 to expand outward and support the inner wall of the pipe 300; rotate the handle 250 to drive the bidirectional screw 210 to rotate, driving the two threaded sleeves 230 to move toward each other along the axial direction of the bidirectional screw 210, thereby driving each connecting rod 240 to rotate and drive the four support plates 220 to expand outward until they press against and support the inner wall of the pipe 300; Step 4: Electrically connect the wire 130 of the pressure sensor 110 to the display screen 150, use an air compressor to connect the inflation tube 140 of the airbag 100 to inflate the airbag 100 until the airbag 100 is sealed. Repeat the above steps and use another non-pressure pipe closed water test plugging device to plug the other end of the pipe 300. Step 5: After the plugging is completed, water is injected into the pipeline 400 through the inspection well to the preset water level required by the specification; Step 6: Use the pressure sensor 110 to detect the pressure on the water-injected side of the airbag 100 and display it on the display screen 150; Step 7: Determine whether the closed water test result is qualified based on the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 110.

[0029] Step 8. After the water-tightness test is passed, the water in the inspection well and the pipeline is pumped out, and the gas in the airbag 100 is discharged using the inflation tube 140, so that the airbag 100 shrinks and unseals the pipeline 300. The handle 250 is rotated in the opposite direction to drive the bidirectional screw 210 to rotate, and the two threaded sleeves 230 are driven to move away from each other along the axial direction of the bidirectional screw 210, thereby pushing each connecting rod 240 to rotate and drive the four support plates 220 to shrink inward and separate from the inner wall of the pipeline 300, and the pressure-free pipeline water-tightness test sealing device can be taken out.

[0030] The pressure-free pipe water-tightness test plugging device and test method provided in the embodiment of the present application seals the pipe 300 by supporting the airbag 100 that can be inflated and deflated to expand or contract to seal or unseal the pipe 300 through the provided support device 200. The support device 200 can be used to quickly and efficiently support, fix or detach the inner wall of the pipe 300 of different diameters, without being affected by the environment outside the pipe 300 and without damaging the pipe 300, thereby achieving the effect of adapting to a variety of pipes and a variety of construction environments. At the same time, the display screen 150 can be used to intuitively display the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 110 to evaluate the water-tightness test results, avoiding the situation where errors are caused by manual measurement of water level changes, achieving the effect of more accurately reflecting the water-tightness test results, recording the water seepage situation of the pipe throughout the process, and reducing the use of labor. At the same time, the pressure-free pipe water-tightness test plugging device is reusable, which solves the problems of poor sealing effect, inconvenient installation and disassembly, and low reuse rate of traditional pipe plugging, thereby achieving the purpose of saving manpower and material resources and improving construction efficiency.

[0031] Among them, a protective rubber strip 120 is provided on the inner wall of the airbag 100, and the wire 130 of the pressure sensor 110 passes through the side of the airbag 100 away from the support device 200, the protective rubber strip 120, the side of the airbag 100 close to the support device 200, the bowl holder 260 and the bidirectional screw 210 in sequence, and then extends out and is connected to the display screen 150. The protective rubber strip 120 can be used to wrap and protect the wire 130 to prevent the wire 130 from being exposed to the outside and damaged and affecting the airtightness between the airbag 100 and the inner wall of the pipe 300; each support plate 220 is provided with an elastic rubber strip 221 on the side away from the bidirectional screw 210, and the elastic rubber strip 221 can be used to elastically press the inner wall of the pipe 300, thereby improving the connection tightness between the support plate 220 and the inner wall of the pipe 300 while also avoiding damage to the pipe 300. The bidirectional screw 210 is connected to and supports the airbag 100 through the bowl holder 260, which can ensure that the airbag 100 is stably supported to expand and press against the inner wall of the pipeline 300 to achieve a sealing operation and perform a water-tightness test.

[0032] Example 2 like Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a pressure-free pipe water-tightness test sealing device, which has roughly the same structure as the pressure-free pipe water-tightness test sealing device provided in Example 1, with the difference that, in this embodiment, a connecting tube 270 is fixedly provided on one end of the bidirectional screw 210 connected to the bowl holder 260, and the connecting tube 270 is connected to four retractable damping rods 280 arranged at intervals along its circumference, and each damping rod 280 is connected to an arc-shaped cleaning plate 290, and a cleaning brush 291 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning plate 290.

[0033] The pressure-free pipe water-tightness test sealing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a connecting tube 270 fixedly sleeved on one end of the bidirectional screw 210 connected to the bowl holder 260. When the user rotates the handle 250 to drive the bidirectional screw 210 to rotate, the connecting tube 270 is driven to rotate, thereby driving four retractable damping rods 280 arranged at intervals along its circumference to rotate and driving four cleaning plates 290 to rotate, so as to utilize the cleaning brush 291 provided on the outer wall of the cleaning plate 290 to clean the inner wall of the pipe 300. Before using the pressure-free pipe water-tightness test sealing device to seal the inner wall of the pipe 300, the cleaning brush 291 provided on the outer wall of the cleaning plate 290 is first used to clean the inner wall of the pipe 300 where the airbag 100 is expanded and pressed to seal the inner wall. This can prevent debris on the inner wall of the pipe 300 from affecting the airbag 100 from sealing the pipe 300.

[0034] Example 3 like Figure 4As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a pressure-free pipe water-tightness test sealing device, which has roughly the same structure as the pressure-free pipe water-tightness test sealing device provided in Example 2, with the difference being that, in this embodiment, a slip ring 231 rotatable around its axis is sleeved on the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 230 on the bidirectional screw 210 near one end of the bowl holder 260, and a connecting rod 281 is hinged between the slip ring 231 and each damping rod 280, and the damping rod 280 is hinged to the corresponding cleaning plate 290. When the bidirectional screw 210 rotates to drive the threaded sleeve 230 to move along its axial direction, the slip ring 231 and each connecting rod 281 drive each damping rod 280 to rotate toward or away from the bidirectional screw 210 so that each cleaning plate 290 moves along the inner wall of the pipe 300.

[0035] The non-pressure pipeline closed water test plugging device provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a slip ring 231 that can rotate around its axis on the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 230 near one end of the bowl holder 260 on the bidirectional screw 210. A connecting rod 281 is hinged between the slip ring 231 and each damping rod 280. The damping rod 280 is hinged to the corresponding cleaning plate 290. When the user rotates the bidirectional screw 210, the connecting rods 240 are driven to rotate and drive the four support plates 220 to expand outward to press and support the inner wall of the pipe 300. At the same time, the threaded sleeve 230 near one end of the bowl holder 260 drives the slip ring 231 to move axially along the threaded sleeve 230, driving each connecting rod 281 and each damping rod 280 to rotate toward the direction close to the bidirectional screw 210 to make each cleaning plate 290 move along the inner wall of the pipe 300, so that each cleaning plate 290 cleans the inner wall of the pipe 300 outside the airbag 100 and then moves to the outside of the bidirectional screw 210, preventing the cleaning plate 290 from affecting the expansion of the airbag 100 and squeezing the closed pipe 300.

[0036] The embodiments described above are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The detailed description of the embodiments of the present application is not intended to limit the scope of the present application for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
