Detailed implementation manner

[0024] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the detailed implementation manner of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 3 A highly adaptable variable-angle pipeline emergency repair and plugging clamp shown in the figure is used to be installed on a damaged pipeline. It includes a middle section clamp and end clamps provided at both ends of the middle section clamp. The end clamps include an end upper guard plate 1 and an end lower guard plate 2 that can be buckled and fixed. The middle section clamp includes a middle section upper guard plate 3 and a middle section lower guard plate 4 that can be buckled and fixed.

[0026] Among them, the end clamps are also provided with a slip mechanism 5 that functions to fix the clamp, which plays a role in preventing axial and longitudinal displacement from the pipeline.

[0027] Both ends of the middle section clamp are sleeved outside the end clamps, and a spherical hinge structure is used for cooperation between both ends of the middle section clamp and the end clamps.

[0028] In this embodiment, the end upper guard plate 1 and the end lower guard plate 2 are fixed by a set of end fastening bolts 12 and end fastening nuts 13.

[0029] In this embodiment, the middle section upper guard plate 3 and the middle section lower guard plate 4 are fixed by a set of middle section fastening bolts 14 and middle section fastening nuts 15.

[0030] In this embodiment, a first sealing structure is provided between the end clamps and the pipeline, and a second sealing structure is provided between the end clamps and the middle section clamps.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first sealing structure includes an end sealing and tensioning mechanism 6 for circumferentially sealing the end clamps and the pipeline, and also includes an end circumferential sealing rubber strip 7 and an end longitudinal sealing rubber strip 8.

[0032] In this embodiment, the second sealing structure includes an intermediate section sealing and tensioning mechanism 9 for sealing the end fixture and the intermediate section fixture, and also includes an intermediate section circumferential sealing rubber strip 10 and an intermediate section longitudinal sealing rubber strip 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the intermediate section fixture is further provided with a drainage device 16, and the drainage device 16 is used to drain the medium in the intermediate section fixture.

[0034] In the above structure, the slip mechanism 5 functions to fix the fixture and prevent axial and longitudinal displacements from occurring with the pipeline; the end sealing and tensioning mechanism 6 uses external pressure to achieve circumferential sealing between the fixture body and the pipeline; the end circumferential sealing rubber strip 7, the end longitudinal sealing rubber strip 8, the intermediate section circumferential sealing rubber strip 10, and the intermediate section longitudinal sealing rubber strip 11 are made of nitrile rubber and are embedded in the sealing grooves processed on the guard plate, and their function is to form a sealing cavity by the extrusion of the guard plate; the intermediate section sealing and tensioning mechanism 9 uses external pressure to achieve sealing between the fixture bodies; the functions of the end fastening bolts 12, the end fastening nuts 13, the intermediate section fastening bolts 14, and the intermediate section fastening nuts 15 are to generate an extrusion force on the guard plate to form a sealing cavity; the function of the drainage device 16 is to drain the medium in the sealing cavity during the installation of the fixture when the pipeline leaks.

[0035] The specific installation process of the highly adaptable variable-angle pipeline emergency repair and plugging fixture in this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] 1. Before installing the fixture, remove foreign matters such as the anti-corrosion layer and rust on the pipeline surface;

[0037] 2. Detect the ovality of the pipeline. The sealing gasket allows for a small degree of irregularity on the pipeline surface, within a range of 0.8 mm;

[0038] 3. Apply lubricant evenly on the surface of the fixture sealing rubber strip;

[0039] 4. After installing the upper guard plate of the end fixture on the pipeline, install the upper guard plate of the intermediate section (place the fixture as much as possible at the center of the pipeline damage point); after the fixture is connected correctly, install the lower guard plate, bolts, and nuts of the end fixture and tighten the nuts evenly in sequence; finally, install the lower guard plate, bolts, and nuts of the intermediate section fixture and tighten the nuts evenly in sequence.

[0040] 5. When the fixture is completely fixed, the gap between the upper guard plate and the lower guard plate is 3 - 5 mm.

[0041] 6. Tighten the bolts of the sealing and tensioning mechanism so that the end circumferential sealing rubber strip is in close contact with the pipeline, and the intermediate section circumferential sealing rubber strip is in close contact with the end fixture to form a sealing cavity.

[0042] 7. After the sealing pressure test shows no leakage, tighten the bolts of the slip mechanism to fix the fixture on the pipeline.

[0043] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as falling within the scope described in this specification.

[0044] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed. However, it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
