DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] The utility model provides a telescopic rod 3 that can be extended and retracted at one end of the column 1 away from the end cover 2, and a pressure cap 4 is provided at the end of the telescopic rod 3. An expansion sleeve 5 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 3 between the pressure cap 4 and the column 1. When the telescopic rod 3 drives the pressure cap 4 to move toward the end cover 2, the expansion sleeve 5 can abut against the inner wall of the pipe mouth, thereby completing the sealing at this place;
[0041] A medium injection channel 10 is provided on the end cover 2, and the medium injection channel 10 can connect the space between the column 1 and the pipe mouth. By injecting the pressurized medium through the medium injection channel 10, the fixed-point pressure detection of the pipe mouth position can be realized. In order to ensure the sealing, a sealing gasket is preferably provided between the end cover 2 and the flange at the pipe mouth.
[0042] The above structure not only effectively reduces the usage of pressurized medium, but also improves the detection efficiency, and effectively saves the intensity of emptying and cleaning operations after pressurization.
[0043] The utility model has an axial piston cavity 11 in the column 1, a piston 7 in the axial piston cavity 11, the telescopic rod 3 passes through the column 1 and is connected to the piston 7, and the movement of the piston 7 in the axial piston cavity 11 can drive the telescopic rod 3 to axially extend and retract. Specifically, the axial piston chamber 11 on one side of the piston 7 is set as a return oil chamber, and the return oil chamber is close to the end cover 2. The axial piston chamber 11 on the other side of the piston 7 is set as a compression oil chamber. The end cover 2 is provided with a return oil channel 9, and the return oil channel 9 is connected with the return oil chamber. The axial piston chamber 11 is also connected with a compression oil channel 8. The compression oil channel 8 is arranged on the column 1 and the end cover 2. The connecting port between the compression oil channel 8 and the axial piston chamber 11 is arranged on the side wall of the compression oil chamber. The piston 7 can be moved in the axial piston chamber 11 by supplying pressure in the return oil channel 9 or the compression oil channel 8. In order to ensure the sealing of the piston 7 when it moves in the axial piston chamber 11, a sealing ring 16 is preferably provided at the position on the column 1 where the telescopic rod 3 penetrates, and a sealing ring 16 is also provided on the side wall of the piston 7 to elastically abut against the axial piston chamber 11.
[0044] A limit platform 31 is preferably provided at one end of the telescopic rod 3 close to the piston 7, and the diameter of the limit platform 31 is larger than the diameter of the telescopic rod 3 and smaller than the diameter of the piston 7; the limit platform 31 is located in the axial piston cavity 11, and when the telescopic rod 3 moves away from the end cover 2, the limit platform 31 can abut against the end of the axial piston cavity 11 away from the end cover 2. Specifically, when the limit platform 31 abuts against the end of the axial piston cavity 11 away from the end cover 2, the connecting port between the compression oil channel 8 and the axial piston cavity 11 can still be connected to the compression oil cavity. The utility model ensures that the compression oil cavity can still be connected to the compression oil channel 8 when the telescopic rod 3 is extended through the limit platform 31.
[0045] The end face of the column 1 away from the end cover 2 is preferably set as a tapered surface, the end face of the pressure cover 4 close to the column 1 is also preferably set as a tapered surface, and the two ends of the expansion sleeve 5 are set as concave tapered surfaces, and the concave tapered surfaces at both ends can respectively cooperate with the tapered surface on the column 1 and the tapered surface on the pressure cover 4.
[0046] The two end faces of the expansion sleeve 5 of the utility model, the end face of the column 1 in contact with the expansion sleeve 5, and the end face of the pressure cover 4 are set to cooperate with each other, so that the sealing area is increased, which is conducive to the tight sealing. At the same time, when the telescopic rod 3 moves toward the end cover 2, that is, the expansion sleeve 5 is compressed, the tapered surface is conducive to the expansion of the expansion sleeve 5 in the radial direction, so that it can effectively fit and seal with the inner wall of the pipe mouth. When the telescopic rod 3 moves away from the end cover 2, that is, the pressure on the expansion sleeve 5 is released, the tapered surface is conducive to the expansion sleeve 5 in the radial direction. Reduce, it is easy to remove the detection device. Of course, the two end faces of the specific expansion sleeve 5 can also be planes, and the corresponding end faces of the column 1 in contact with the expansion sleeve 5 and the end faces of the pressure cover 4 are also set as planes.

[0047] The gap between the outer wall of the expansion sleeve 5 and the inner wall of the pipe mouth is preferably 1-2 mm. The value of the gap is determined by the compression deformation and hardness of the composite material.

The diameter of the large-diameter boss 6 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe mouth, ensuring that the detection device can be pre-positioned when it is extended into the pipe mouth, making it convenient for the bolts to pass through the light holes on the end cover 2 and the flange at the pipe mouth.
[0049] The gland 4 is preferably detachably connected to the end of the telescopic rod 3 to facilitate replacement of the expansion sleeve 5. Specifically, because the expansion sleeve 5 has high elasticity, the detection device can be applied to pipe openings within a certain size range. If the size of the pipe opening exceeds the size applicable range of the detection device, the expansion sleeve 5 and the replaceable gland 4 can be changed to improve the versatility of the detection device.

[0051] The specific working steps of this utility model are:
[0052] Use bolts and nuts to connect the detection device and the equipment pipe flange through the light holes on the end cover 2 and the flange at the pipe mouth;
[0053] The hydraulic system 12 is operated to provide pressure by compressing the oil supply pipe 13, so that the telescopic rod 3 moves toward the end cover 2, thereby driving the gland 4 to compress the expansion sleeve 5. The expansion action is achieved by compressing the expansion sleeve 5. The expansion action of the expansion sleeve 5 is close to the inner wall of the pipe mouth, so that a separate sealed chamber is formed;
[0054] The medium required for the working test is input through the water pressure test pipe 15 to perform sealing detection on the pipe opening;
[0055] After the inspection is completed, the hydraulic medium is input through the return oil supply pipe 14 to push the telescopic rod 3 to move toward the gland 4, thereby releasing the pressure on the expansion sleeve 5.
