Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The pipe joint or pipe fitting, more specifically belongs to the technical field of oil and gas pipeline repair plugs, and particularly relates to a positive sealing plugging head. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the oil and gas energy transportation system, long-distance oil and gas pipelines are the core infrastructure connecting energy production sites and consumption terminals. During long-term operation, they are prone to failure due to medium corrosion, external mechanical damage, aging, and other problems. Regular maintenance, overhaul, or pipe replacement operations are needed to ensure safe transportation. The prerequisite for such operations is to cut off the flow of the transmission medium in the pipeline to avoid safety accidents such as medium leakage, explosion, and environmental pollution. Therefore, temporary isolation of the pipeline is achieved through a pretreatment process. First, a tee pipe fitting is precisely welded and fixed outside the target section of the pipeline to be repaired. After the pipe fitting is installed stably, a special opening device is used to open a hole from the flange of the tee pipe fitting into the pipeline. After the opening process is completed and it is confirmed that the opening size matches the subsequent plugging requirements, plugging operation is performed on the oil and gas pipeline at the opening position. The transmission path of the medium in the pipeline is blocked through physical isolation, creating a safe environment without pressure and medium interference for subsequent fault diagnosis, pipeline repair, or replacement operations.

[0003] In the active plugging operation of the oil and gas pipeline, the plug is the core equipment for efficient isolation of the medium, and its sealing performance directly determines the safety and reliability of the entire maintenance and repair operation. The plugging head needs to be moved to the preset plugging position along the inner wall of the pipeline through a guide mechanism (such as a plugging cylinder), adjusted to be horizontal, and made to adhere to the inner wall of the sealing bowl to achieve sealing.

[0004] However, the actual pipeline inner wall environment is complex, often with defects such as welding residual weld beads, hard protrusions formed by corrosion, metal debris deposited by long-term transportation, or sharp edges caused by local deformation. When the sealing bowl moves along the inner wall of the pipeline with the plugging head, its outer surface inevitably rubs, scratches, or even directly hits these sharp protrusions. Since the material of the sealing bowl is usually elastic rubber, it lacks effective protection structure during movement and is easily scratched by sharp parts, resulting in cracks, perforations, and other damages. Currently, the core of existing active plugging technology is to enhance the adhesion of the sealing bowl to the inner wall through a hydraulic system (such as introducing oil through a rubber tube to provide radial force). However, the sealing bowl has already been damaged by scratching during the moving stage. Although subsequent hydraulic driving can make the sealing bowl adhere more closely to the inner wall of the pipeline, sometimes a small amount of high-pressure medium leaks from the damaged part, and effective sealing cannot be formed.
