Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pipeline repair, and in particular relates to a pipeline repair device. Background Art

[0002] During long-term use, underground pipelines may break due to factors such as material aging, soil corrosion, and external loads. Traditional pipeline repair requires large-scale excavation of the ground, which is not only labor-intensive but may also cause traffic congestion. With the continuous maturity of trenchless pipeline repair technology, the above problems can be effectively solved. For example, Chinese patent publication number CN220623213U discloses an airbag for pipeline repair. When repairing a pipeline, the roller is tightly attached to the inner wall of the pipeline to be repaired, the airbag body is moved into the position where the pipeline needs to be repaired, and the airbag is inflated by an external booster pump or other equipment so that the repair lining is tightly attached to the inner wall of the pipeline. However, during the inflation process of the airbag, as the number of repeated uses increases, it is difficult to ensure that the surface of the airbag bulges at the same time, and there is a problem of the repair lining being twisted or creased. In addition, when using the airbag for pipeline repair, in order to ensure the repair effect, it is generally necessary to wrap the repair lining around the airbag. When repairing problems such as sand holes and small holes in the pipeline, the repair lining is wasted. Utility Model Content
