Description

Technical Field

[0002] During the maintenance of the municipal water supply system, in the face of an emergency situation where a pipeline breaks suddenly, quickly and effectively implementing sealing operations is a key measure to reduce unnecessary loss of water resources and ensure the stable operation of the water supply system.

[0003] Chinese patent CN217003647U discloses a temporary sealing device for water supply pipes used in municipal water supply construction. The device is designed to achieve instant sealing of damaged pipes through its integrated sealing ring assembly, thereby gaining valuable time for subsequent maintenance operations. The sealing ring in the device relies on its elastic deformation to fit tightly against the inner wall of the water supply pipe. However, this design places extremely high demands on the matching degree of the inner diameter of the pipe. The sealing ring must be fully adapted to the inner diameter of the water supply pipe to achieve a good sealing effect. If the size deviates slightly, the sealing ring may not be able to fully fill the gap between the pipe and the device, thereby affecting the sealing effect. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The present invention is further described in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments:

[0020] First embodiment

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a temporary plugging head for a municipal water supply pipe is installed in a municipal water supply pipe 100 and includes an outer connecting plate 1, the surface of which is treated with anti-corrosion to enhance durability. The outer connecting plate is provided with a plurality of fixed plates 11 in a circular array, and the fixed plates are threaded with fastening bolts 12. A central tube 2 is provided in the middle of the outer connecting plate, and a plugging disc is connected to the end of the central tube. An expansion airbag 3 is provided on the outer circumference of the plugging disc. The airbag is made of wear-resistant and high-pressure resistant rubber to ensure that it can fit tightly against the inner wall of the pipe after inflation. The central tube is connected to the expansion airbag, and an air pipe 6 is provided on the outer connecting plate. The inner diameter of the air pipe is 8 mm. The air pipe is connected to the central tube. Several extrusion components 4 are rotatably connected to the plugging disc, and a locking member 5 is provided on the central tube.

[0022] A control valve may be installed in the trachea, and the trachea is connected to an air pump to inflate the expansion airbag.

[0023] Furthermore, the locking member can drive the extrusion assembly to lean against the inner wall of the municipal water supply pipe.

[0024] In at least one embodiment, the extrusion assembly includes an articulated seat 44, to which an extrusion plate 42 is rotatably connected, and on which a rubber anti-skid pad 43 is provided. The rubber anti-skid pad is made of highly elastic and high-friction nitrile rubber to ensure good anti-skid performance even in wet environments.

[0025] In at least one embodiment, the locking member includes a sleeve 51 made of a high-strength aluminum alloy with an anodized surface for enhanced wear resistance. The sleeve can slide along the center tube and is locked and secured by a first knob 52 and a second knob 53. The sleeve is provided with a fixing seat 54, to which a linkage rod 41 is rotatably connected. The end of the linkage rod is rotatably connected to the extrusion plate. The knob is made of high-strength brass with anti-slip grooves on the surface for easy manual operation. The linkage rod is made of alloy steel and has been heat-treated to enhance its strength and toughness.

[0026] The solution is refined, and an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the central tube, and the first knob and the second knob are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the central tube.

[0027] The solution is refined, and the first knob and the second knob are respectively located on both sides of the sleeve.

[0028] Furthermore, a fixed shaft 55 is provided on the fixed seat, and a linkage rod is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft.

[0029] The solution is refined. The sleeve slides along the central tube so that the linkage rod drives the extrusion plate to rotate around the hinge seat, and the rubber anti-slip pad rests on the inner wall of the municipal water supply pipe and undergoes elastic deformation.

[0030] Working method, ensure that all components are intact, especially the inflation bag, air tube, fastening bolts, extrusion assembly and locking member. Completely assemble the plug head, ensure that the air tube is connected to the center tube and the control valve is installed in the air tube. Prepare the air pump and ensure that the air tube is properly connected to the air pump.

[0031] Secure the plugging head to the desired location in the municipal water supply pipe using the fixing plate and fastening bolts on the external connecting plate. Ensure that the plugging disc and expansion bag can be smoothly placed in the pipe and that the expansion bag is in a deflated state when not inflated.

[0032] Connect the air pump and air pipe, open the control valve, and start inflating the expansion bag. As the expansion bag gradually expands, it will fit tightly against the inner wall of the municipal water supply pipe, achieving a preliminary blockage.

[0033] Adjust the sleeve's position on the central pipe based on the pipe's inner diameter and sealing requirements, and secure it to the central pipe using the first and second knobs. The sleeve's sliding movement drives the linkage, which in turn rotates the extrusion plate around its hinged base. The rubber anti-slip pad on the extrusion plate rests against the inner wall of the municipal water pipe and elastically deforms, further enhancing its anti-slip properties.

[0034] Check that the plugging head is securely fastened to the pipe and that the inflatable bladder and extrusion assembly are tightly fitted to the pipe's inner wall. If necessary, adjust the plugging head's position and sealing effectiveness by adjusting the fastening bolts or re-inflating the bladder. During use, regularly check the plugging head to ensure that all components are intact and functioning properly. After use, deflate and remove the plugging head, storing it securely for future use.

[0035] Second embodiment

[0036] The difference from the first embodiment is that the extrusion assembly is different.

[0037] The extrusion assembly includes an articulated seat 44 , a connecting rod 45 is rotatably connected to the articulated seat, an extrusion plate 42 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, and a rubber anti-slip pad 43 is provided on the extrusion plate.

[0038] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
