[0022] In this embodiment, the plugging device surrounds the outer circumference of the pipeline, and the plugging device is fixed and supported by an external frame.

[0023] The driving assembly is assembled on the movable connector 13 and the driving assembly drives the connecting blocking block 12 so that the blocking block 12 can adjust the corresponding blocking position (ie the actual position of the pipeline rupture) according to the position of the movable connector 13 .

[0024] Through the sliding connection between the movable connector 13 and the mounting ring 1, the fixed position of each movable connector 13 on the mounting ring 1 can be adjusted according to the actual position of each pipeline rupture, so that the orientation of each movable connector 13 is aligned with the corresponding pipeline rupture, thereby adjusting the corresponding blocking position of each blocking block 12.

[0026] After the repair or maintenance is completed, the driving assembly drives the blocking block 12 away from the ruptured part of the pipeline to separate the blocking device from the pipeline.

[0027] Through the blocking device, the driving assembly assembled on the movable connector 13 and the blocking block 12 can make corresponding position adjustments according to the actual position of the pipeline rupture, so as to quickly align the blocking block 12 with the pipeline rupture, thereby achieving rapid blocking.

[0028] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of movable connectors 13 may be 1, 2, or more than 4. The specific number of movable connectors 13 is determined according to the structure of the mounting ring 1 and actual conditions on site.
