Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline sealing detection, in particular to a pipe opening sealing structure used for pipeline sealing detection. Background Art
[0002] In the production of metal aeration pipes, due to the large amount of welding operations involved in the pipelines, equipment manufacturers are required to perform gas tightness tests on the metal pipes (non-high pressure). Some aeration pipes have open ends. In such cases, the tightness test is usually carried out by welding threads or flanges on the ends of the branches, and then testing by installing metal plugs / blind plates. After the test is completed, the threads / flanges are removed. The removed threads or flanges cannot be used again, which greatly wastes raw materials and increases the workload of workers. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a pipe mouth sealing structure for pipeline sealing detection. By improving the structure of the pipe mouth end sealing, a detachable, low-cost, easy-to-operate sealing structure is used to replace the original welding method, which can be reused, which will greatly reduce the detection cost and detection time.

The elastic sealing body is inserted into the pipe mouth and its circumferential surface is in contact with the inner wall of the pipe mouth. The adjusting rod is slidingly connected with the elastic sealing body and the extrusion assembly. The driving member drives the adjusting rod to move along the axis of the adjusting rod and drives the extrusion assembly to extrude the elastic sealing body so that the elastic sealing body expands to seal the pipe mouth.
[0006] In this solution, the elastic sealing body is inserted into the pipe mouth, and its circumferential surface can fit tightly with the inner wall of the pipe mouth. Fitting is the basis of sealing. The adjusting rod is slidably connected with the elastic sealing body and the extrusion assembly. The adjusting rod, the elastic sealing body and the extrusion assembly can move relative to each other. When the driving member drives the adjusting rod to move, the extrusion assembly will exert pressure on the elastic sealing body, causing it to expand and fit more tightly to the inner wall of the pipe mouth, thereby achieving a better seal. After the inspection is completed, the driving member is rotated in the opposite direction again to allow the extrusion assembly to release the extrusion of the elastic sealing body, and then the entire sealing structure body is removed from the pipe mouth. The sealing structure body is detachably connected to the pipeline, which reduces the loading and unloading time, thereby reducing the inspection time. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

The second extrusion plate is located between the elastic sealing body and the baffle, and the screwing drive drives the adjusting rod to move along the axis of the adjusting rod and drives the first extrusion plate and the second extrusion plate to squeeze the elastic sealing body so that the elastic sealing body expands and seals the pipe mouth.
[0012] Optionally, a first sealing ring is embedded in the end surface of the first extrusion plate opposite to the elastic sealing body. When the elastic sealing body is extruded, the first sealing ring is circumferentially pressed between the first extrusion plate and the end surface of the pipe mouth.

[0027] Example
[0028] A pipe mouth sealing structure for pipeline sealing detection includes a sealing structure body 5 installed in the pipe mouth 4, the sealing structure body 5 includes an elastic sealing body 6, an adjusting rod 7, a driving member 9, and an extrusion assembly. The elastic sealing body 6 is inserted into the pipe mouth 4 and its circumferential surface is in contact with the inner wall of the pipe mouth 4. The adjusting rod 7 is slidably connected with the elastic sealing body 6 and the extrusion assembly. The driving member 9 drives the adjusting rod 7 to move along the axis of the adjusting rod 7 and drives the extrusion assembly to extrude the elastic sealing body 6 so that the elastic sealing body 6 expands to seal the pipe mouth 4.
[0029] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the elastic sealing body 6 is made of rubber material and is cylindrical and matches the inner diameter of the pipe mouth 4. Before testing the sealing performance of the pipeline, Figure 4As shown, the circumferential surface of the elastic sealing body 6 can fit tightly with the inner wall of the pipe mouth 4, the elastic sealing body 6 is inserted into the pipe mouth 4, the adjusting rod 7 is slidably connected with the elastic sealing body 6 and the extrusion assembly, and the adjusting rod 7 and the elastic sealing body 6 and the extrusion assembly can move relative to each other. When the driving member 9 drives the adjusting rod 7 to move, the extrusion assembly will exert pressure on the elastic sealing body 6 to make it expand and fit more tightly to the inner wall of the pipe mouth 4, thereby achieving a better seal. After the inspection is completed, the driving member 9 is screwed in the opposite direction again to allow the extrusion assembly to release the extrusion of the elastic sealing body 6, and then the entire sealing structure body 5 is taken out from the pipe mouth 4. The sealing structure body 5 is detachably connected to the pipeline, which reduces the loading and unloading time, thereby reducing the inspection time. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The sealing structure replaces the original welding method and is reusable, which will greatly reduce the inspection cost.
[0030] Furthermore, the adjusting rod 7 is a threaded rod, one end of the adjusting rod 7 is provided with a baffle 11 located on the inner side of the pipe mouth 4, and the other end passes through the elastic sealing body 6 and the extrusion assembly to extend to the outside of the pipe mouth 4. The end of the adjusting rod 7 located on the outside of the pipe mouth 4 is threadedly connected to the driving member 9. Screwing the driving member 9 drives the adjusting rod 7 to move along the axis of the adjusting rod 7 and drives the extrusion assembly to extrude the elastic sealing body 6 so that the elastic sealing body 6 expands and seals the pipe mouth 4.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to seal the nozzle 4, the operator turns the driver 9. Because the driver 9 and the adjustment rod 7 are threaded together, the turning action translates into linear movement of the adjustment rod 7. As the adjustment rod 7 moves, it drives the extrusion assembly to apply pressure to the elastic sealing body 6. Under this pressure, the elastic sealing body 6 expands and fits tightly against the inner wall of the nozzle 4, achieving a seal. By precisely controlling the travel distance of the adjustment rod 7 by turning the driver 9, the degree of extrusion of the elastic sealing body 6 can be adjusted.
[0032] Furthermore, a first through hole 14 is provided in the middle of the elastic sealing body 6 to allow the adjustment rod 7 to pass through.
[0033] Furthermore, a plurality of annular cavities 16 are provided in the elastic sealing body 6 , and the plurality of annular cavities 16 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the elastic sealing body 6 , and the plurality of annular cavities 16 are arranged between the outer wall of the elastic sealing body 6 and the inner wall of the first through hole 14 .
[0034] Furthermore, a flow channel 17 is provided between the annular cavity 16 and the first through hole 14 , and the flow channel 17 connects the gas path between the annular cavity 16 and the first through hole 14 .
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, a plurality of annular cavities 16 are provided inside the elastic sealing body 6 at intervals along its length direction, and the annular cavities 16 are connected to the first through hole 14 through the flow channel 17. In the process of the extrusion assembly extruding the elastic sealing body 6, the presence of the annular cavity 16 can reduce the difficulty of extruding the elastic sealing body 6, making the elastic sealing body 6 more easily deformed and expanded under pressure, thereby accelerating the sealing efficiency. At the same time, the flow channel 17 connects the annular cavity 16 and the first through hole 14. When the elastic sealing body 6 is extruded, the air in the annular cavity 16 can be discharged, thereby preventing the air pressure inside the annular cavity 16 from hindering the deformation and expansion of the elastic sealing body 6.
[0036] Furthermore, the extrusion assembly includes a first extrusion plate 8 and a second extrusion plate 10. The first extrusion plate 8 and the second extrusion plate 10 are provided with a second through hole 15 that allows the adjusting rod 7 to pass through. The first extrusion plate 8 is located on the outside of the pipe mouth 4 and its diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe mouth 4. The second extrusion plate 10 is located on the inside of the pipe mouth 4 and its diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe mouth 4. The second extrusion plate 10 is located between the elastic sealing body 6 and the baffle 11. The screwing drive 9 drives the adjusting rod 7 to move along the axis of the adjusting rod 7 and drives the first extrusion plate 8 and the second extrusion plate 10 to squeeze the elastic sealing body 6 so that the elastic sealing body 6 expands to seal the pipe mouth 4.
[0037] Furthermore, a first sealing ring 12 is embedded in the end surface of the first extrusion plate 8 opposite to the elastic sealing body 6. When the elastic sealing body 6 is extruded, the first sealing ring 12 is circumferentially pressed between the first extrusion plate 8 and the end surface of the pipe mouth 4.
[0038] Furthermore, a second sealing ring 13 is embedded in the end surface of the second extrusion plate 10 opposite to the baffle 11 . When the elastic sealing body 6 is extruded, the second sealing ring 13 is circumferentially pressed between the second extrusion plate 10 and the baffle 11 .
[0039] Furthermore, the driving member 9 is a locking nut, and an internal threaded hole adapted for the adjusting rod 7 is provided in the middle of the locking nut.
[0040] Furthermore, the baffle 11 and the adjusting rod 7 are integrally formed, and the baffle 11 and the adjusting rod 7 constitute a single-threaded rod.
[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1As shown, a pressure gauge and a gas connection port are installed in the aeration pipeline to be tested. The pressure gauge is used to detect the pressure after ventilation in the pipeline, and the gas connection port is used to connect the gas source. In the aeration pipeline, one end is the main pipe 1 with a welded flange port, and the other end is the branch pipe 2. The end of the branch pipe 2 is an open design. When performing a sealing test, a blind plate 3 can be installed on the flange end, and a sealing structure body 5 is installed on the end of the branch pipe 2. The end of the adjusting rod 7 with a baffle 11 is extended into the pipe mouth 4 until the end face of the elastic sealing body 6 is flush with the end face of the pipe mouth 4, and then the first extrusion plate 8 is pushed to fit the end face of the pipe mouth 4. The first extrusion plate 8 and the second extrusion plate 10 are both circular plates. The diameter of the first extrusion plate 8 is larger than the outer diameter of the branch pipe 2, and the outer diameter of the second extrusion plate 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe. The gap is greater than 4mm to prevent friction with the inner wall of the branch pipe 2. At the same time, the friction between the first extrusion plate 8 and the end face of the pipe mouth 4 is used to screw the locking nut to prevent the elastic sealing body 6 from rotating during the screwing of the locking nut. It is best to clamp the adjusting rod 7 with a tool to prevent the adjusting rod 7 from rotating when screwing the locking nut. Before the gas source is connected, turn the locking nut clockwise, the adjusting rod 7 moves axially, and the baffle 11 is mobilized to squeeze the second squeezing plate 10. At the same time, the first squeezing plate 8 will also squeeze the elastic sealing body 6. At this time, the elastic sealing body 6 will expand due to the squeezing, filling the entire pipe mouth 4 to achieve the purpose of sealing. Furthermore, the first sealing ring 12 can seal the gap between the pipe mouth 4 and the first squeezing plate 8, and the second sealing ring 13 can seal the gap between the baffle 11 and the second squeezing plate 10, further improving the sealing performance. At this time, the gas sealing performance test can be carried out. After the test is completed, loosen the locking nut in the opposite direction, and the elastic sealing body 6 can be removed after shrinking. Figure 3 As shown, in order to speed up the inspection efficiency, before installing the sealing structure, the operator directly adjusts the first extrusion plate 8 and the second extrusion plate 10 to contact both ends of the elastic sealing body 6, and allows the baffle 11 to contact the second extrusion plate 10, and then inserts the sealing structure into the pipe mouth 4. In this way, the locking nut does not need to be screwed a large number of turns, and the two extrusion plates can squeeze the elastic sealing body 6.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Based on the technical essence of the present invention and within the spirit and principles of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent replacement and improvement of the above embodiment shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
