When the connector 4 moves to the end of the guide channel 210 away from the air source, the axial length of the isolation bag 1 is fixed. At this time, all the gas is filled into the isolation bag 1, the radial length of the isolation bag 1 is increased, and the isolation bag 1 can better abut against the inner wall of the first pipe 100. The isolation device can effectively improve the sealing performance of the isolation bag 1. The isolation bag 1 deforms regularly after inflation, optimizes the fit between the isolation bag 1 and the first pipe 100, avoids leakage problems, enhances working stability and reliability, facilitates installation and operation, is reusable, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0057] The assembly method of the isolation device disclosed in this embodiment is applied to the above-mentioned isolation device, the edge of the first opening 11 of the isolation bag 1 is fixed on the first fixing seat 21, and the edge of the second opening 12 of the isolation bag 1 is fixed on the second fixing seat 31; the first end of the connecting member 4 is inserted into the guide channel 210 arranged along the axial direction of the isolation bag 1 on the first fixing seat 21, and the second end of the connecting member 4 is connected to the second fixing seat 31, so that the isolation bag 1 is axially stretched and radially expanded at the same time after inflation, and the axial stretching remains unchanged when it reaches the preset length, and then expands radially, so that the isolation bag 1 is deformed regularly and fits the inner wall of the first pipe 100, thereby improving the sealing and fit, and the structure is compact and reliable, which is convenient for installation and reuse.

[0058] The isolation method disclosed in this embodiment is applied to the above-mentioned isolation device. The isolation device is extended from the third opening provided on the peripheral wall of the first pipe 100 and placed in the first pipe 100; the guide channel 210 is connected to the air source, and the isolation bag 1 is inflated to a preset pressure. The inflated isolation bag 1 abuts against the inner wall of the first pipe 100, which significantly improves the isolation sealing and reliability.

[0059] like Figure 2As shown, the guide channel 210 is provided with a first port 2102 and a second port 2103 at both ends, respectively. The first port 2102 can be connected to a gas source, and the first end of the connector 4 extends into the second port 2103. The first end of the connector 4 is provided with a stopper 41, and the maximum outer dimension of the stopper 41 is larger than the inner diameter of the second port 2103, and smaller than the inner diameter of the guide channel 210. The guide channel 210 is provided with a first port 2102 and a second port 2103 at both ends, respectively. The first port 2102 can be connected to a gas source to ensure that gas is input into the isolation bag 1, and the first end of the connector 4 extends into the second port 2103. The maximum outer dimension of the stopper 41 is larger than the inner diameter of the second port 2103, and smaller than the inner diameter of the guide channel 210, which can prevent the connector 4 from escaping from the second port 2103, ensuring the stable movement of the connector 4 in the guide channel 210, and accurately controlling the displacement of the second fixing seat 31, thereby achieving effective adjustment of the axial length of the isolation bag 1 and ensuring the sealing performance and working reliability of the isolation device.

[0060] In this embodiment, the isolation device also includes a connector 5, which is arranged at the first port 2102 of the guide channel 210. The connector 5 can be connected to the gas source to ensure that the gas is stably input into the isolation bag 1. The reliable connectivity of the connector 5 is utilized to achieve rapid docking between the gas source and the device, thereby avoiding gas leakage during inflation and providing continuous power for the inflation of the isolation bag 1.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the first fixing seat 21 includes a first protrusion 211 and a first platform 212. The first sealing assembly 2 also includes a first annular pressing member 22. The first annular pressing member 22 is sleeved on the first protrusion 211. The edge of the first opening 11 is clamped between the first annular pressing member 22 and the first platform 212 and is compressed by the first annular pressing member 22. The edge of the first opening 11 is clamped between the first annular pressing member 22 and the first platform 212 of the first fixing seat 21 and compressed to ensure that the edge of the first opening 11 fits tightly with the first platform 212, forming a reliable seal and preventing gas from leaking from the edge of the first opening 11. The structure is simple and easy to install, which facilitates the fixing and disassembly of the isolation bag 1 and improves the sealing stability and operational convenience of the isolation device.

[0062] like Figure 2As shown, the second fixing seat 31 includes a second protrusion 311 and a second platform 312, and the second sealing assembly 3 also includes a second annular pressing member 32. The second annular pressing member 32 is sleeved on the second protrusion 311, and the edge of the second opening 12 is clamped between the second annular pressing member 32 and the second platform 312 and compressed by the second annular pressing member 32. The edge of the second opening 12 is clamped between the second annular pressing member 32 and the second platform 312 of the second fixing seat 31 and compressed to ensure that the edge of the second opening 12 fits tightly with the second platform 312, forming a reliable seal and preventing gas from leaking from the edge of the second opening 12. The structure is simple and easy to install, which facilitates the fixing and removal of the isolation bag 1 and improves the sealing stability and operational convenience of the isolation device.

[0063] In other embodiments, the edge of the first opening 11 can be fixed to the first fixing seat 21 by fasteners, and the edge of the second opening 12 can be fixed to the second fixing seat 31 by fasteners, so that the two openings of the isolation bag 1 can be sealed, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner ring surface of the first annular pressing member 22 is provided with a first internal thread, and the circumferential surface of the first protrusion 211 is provided with a first external thread. The first internal thread cooperates with the first external thread, and the first annular pressing member 22 can rotate relative to the first protrusion 211 and move axially along the first protrusion 211. The first internal thread of the inner ring of the first annular pressing member 22 cooperates with the first external thread on the circumferential surface of the first protrusion 211. The first annular pressing member 22 can rotate and move axially along the first protrusion 211 to conveniently adjust the pressure on the edge of the first opening 11, ensuring that the edges of the first opening 11 of different thicknesses or materials are evenly and firmly compressed, thereby improving sealing reliability.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner surface of the second annular clamping member 32 is provided with a second internal thread, and the circumferential surface of the second protrusion 311 is provided with a second external thread. The second internal thread cooperates with the second external thread, and the second annular clamping member 32 can rotate relative to the second protrusion 311 and move axially along the second protrusion 311. The second internal thread of the inner ring of the second annular clamping member 32 cooperates with the second external thread on the circumference of the second protrusion 311. The second annular clamping member 32 can conveniently adjust the pressure on the edge of the second opening 12 by rotating and moving along the axial direction of the second protrusion 311, ensuring that the edges of second openings 12 of different thicknesses or materials are evenly and firmly compressed, thereby improving sealing reliability. In addition, the threaded connection structure facilitates disassembly and repeated installation, enhancing the applicability and maintenance convenience of the isolation device.

[0066] like Figure 2As shown, the first sealing assembly 2 also includes a first elastic gasket 23, which is sandwiched between the first annular compression member 22 and the edge of the first opening 11. The first elastic gasket 23 is sandwiched between the first annular compression member 22 and the edge of the first opening 11. By utilizing the elastic deformation capability of the first elastic gasket 23, it can fill the slight gap between the edge of the first opening 11 and the first fixing seat 21 during compression, thereby enhancing the sealing performance. It also buffers the direct pressure of the first annular compression member 22, preventing damage to the edge of the first opening 11 caused by rigid extrusion, thereby extending the service life of the isolation sac 1. Furthermore, the elastic compensation function of the first elastic gasket 23 can accommodate a certain degree of installation error or vibration, thereby improving the sealing reliability and structural stability of the isolation device.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the second sealing assembly 3 also includes a second elastic gasket 33, which is sandwiched between the second annular compression member 32 and the edge of the second opening 12. The second elastic gasket 33 is sandwiched between the second annular compression member 32 and the edge of the second opening 12. By utilizing the elastic deformation capability of the second elastic gasket 33, it can fill the slight gap between the edge of the second opening 12 and the second fixing seat 31 during compression, thereby enhancing sealing performance. It also buffers the direct pressure of the second annular compression member 32, preventing damage to the edge of the second opening 12 caused by rigid extrusion, thereby extending the service life of the isolation sac 1. Furthermore, the elastic compensation function of the second elastic gasket 33 can accommodate a certain degree of installation error or vibration, thereby improving the sealing reliability and structural stability of the isolation device.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first elastic gasket 23 and the second elastic gasket 33 are both annular gaskets. The annular structure facilitates sleeve installation on the first protrusion 211 and the second protrusion 311, thereby providing a more secure fit with the first annular pressing member 22, the second annular pressing member 32, and the first and second fixing seats 21 and 31. This facilitates convenient and stable installation, enhancing the sealing reliability and structural coordination of the isolation device.

[0069] Specifically, the first platform portion 212 is embedded in the first opening 11, and the edge of the first opening 11 overlaps the surface of the first platform portion 212. The annular first elastic gasket 23 is sleeved on the first protrusion 211, and then the first annular clamping member 22 is sleeved on the first protrusion 211 and threadedly connected to the first protrusion 211. The first annular clamping member 22 rotates relative to the first protrusion 211 and moves along the axial direction of the first protrusion 211, and abuts against the first elastic gasket 23, pressing the edge of the first opening 11 to the surface of the first platform portion 212 to ensure the sealing at the first opening 11.

[0070] Similarly, the second platform portion 312 is embedded in the second opening 12, and the edge of the second opening 12 overlaps the surface of the second platform portion 312. The annular second elastic gasket 33 is sleeved on the second protrusion 311, and then the second annular clamping member 32 is sleeved on the second protrusion 311 and threadedly connected to the second protrusion 311. The second annular clamping member 32 rotates relative to the second protrusion 311 and moves axially along the second protrusion 311, and abuts against the second elastic gasket 33, pressing the edge of the second opening 12 to the surface of the second platform portion 312 to ensure the sealing at the second opening 12.

[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, the isolation bladder 1 has a multi-layer structure. The complementary properties of the different layers of material enhance overall performance, allowing the isolation bladder 1 to more reliably abut the inner wall of the first pipe 100 after inflation, improving the sealing effect. The multi-layer structure also increases the structural strength and deformation resistance of the isolation bladder 1, extending its service life, allowing it to withstand repeated inflation and squeezing, enhancing the stability and reliability of the isolation device, and reducing the risk of leakage and maintenance frequency caused by damage to the isolation bladder 1.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, the isolation bladder 1 comprises, from the inside out, a first layer 101, a second layer 102, a third layer 103, and a fourth layer 104. The first layer 101 is a first rubber layer, the second layer 102 is an aramid fiber braided layer, the third layer 103 is a second rubber layer, and the fourth layer 104 is a silicone layer. The first rubber layer provides basic elasticity and sealing, securing the aramid fiber braided layer and increasing the toughness of the isolation bladder 1. The aramid fiber braided layer enhances structural strength and tear resistance, preventing damage to the isolation bladder 1 during inflation. The second rubber layer further enhances elastic deformation and gas barrier properties, increasing the fit between the isolation bladder 1 and the first pipe 100. The silicone layer is wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and age-resistant, allowing the isolation bladder 1 to adhere tightly to the pipe wall after inflation, ensuring a reliable seal and adaptability to cryogenic gases. In this embodiment, the aramid fiber braided layer is made of Kevlar material. Kevlar material has high strength, tear resistance, light weight, high temperature resistance, chemical stability and corrosion resistance. It can improve the performance of the isolation bag 1, extend the life of the isolation bag 1, and reduce the risk of leakage.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the isolation bladder 1 is provided with annular ridges 105. These ridges 105 increase the contact area and friction coefficient with the inner wall of the first pipe 100, ensuring a more secure contact between the isolation bladder 1 and the inner wall of the first pipe 100 after inflation. This prevents displacement due to vibration or pressure fluctuations, improving sealing stability. Furthermore, the structure of the ridges 105 enhances the barrier effect against gas leakage paths, further improving sealing reliability in conjunction with the multi-layer structure.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the isolation device also includes an air inlet pipe 6, one end of which is connected to the connector 5 and the other end is connected to the gas source, and the air inlet pipe 6 is bendable. On the one hand, the air inlet pipe 6 of the isolation device is connected to the connector 5 at one end and to the gas source at the other end and is bendable, so that the air inlet pipe 6 can adapt to the space and direction of the first pipe 100, facilitating flexible arrangement and installation, avoiding obstruction of gas flow caused by bends in the first pipe 100, and ensuring stable ventilation between the gas source and the isolation bag 1. On the other hand, the bendable air inlet pipe 6 can buffer stress through deformation when the isolation bag 1 is inflated and displaced, preventing leakage or breakage at the connection between the connector 5 and the air inlet pipe 6 due to rigid pulling, thereby improving connection reliability.

[0075] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a second pipe 200 is provided at the third opening of the first pipe 100, communicating therewith. The extension direction of the second pipe 200 forms an angle with the extension direction of the first pipe 100, and the angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. The end of the second pipe 200 is provided with a first flange 300. The isolation device also includes a connecting base 7, which is capable of overlapping with the first flange 300. The connecting base 7 is provided with a connecting hole 71, one end of which is connected to the air inlet pipe 6 and the other end is connected to the air source. In this embodiment, the angle is 90 degrees. In other embodiments, the angle can also be 45 degrees, 60 degrees, or 75 degrees, which are not specifically limited here.

[0076] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a blind plate hole 301 is provided on the first flange 300. A blind plate (not shown) is installed in the blind plate hole 301 to seal the second pipe 200. When the second pipe 200 is not in use, the blind plate is installed in the blind plate hole 301 to effectively seal the second pipe 200, preventing the passage of fluid or gas and preventing debris from entering the second pipe 200 and causing blockage or contamination. When the second pipe 200 needs to be activated, the blind plate can be removed to restore the passage of the second pipe 200, enhancing the flexibility and safety of the second pipe 200 and facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the second pipe 200.
