[0009] Preferably, the three-way shell, the reducing half pipe and the head are welded to form a completely sealed structure, which can form a permanent sealing structure for the connection between the three-way shell and the flange cover.

[0010] Preferably, two groups of the diameter-reducing half-tubes are provided, and the two groups of the diameter-reducing half-tubes are axially symmetrically arranged with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the upper portion of the tee shell.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This flange-covered welded plugging tee can form a closed space by welding a reducing half pipe and a head on the tee shell to include the sealing tee flange cover connection and the lock ring in the welded shell.

[0027] A protruding annular step is provided on the upper inner wall of the tee shell 1, and a plug 4 is placed on the protruding annular step on the inner wall of the tee shell 1. A rubber sealing ring is provided at the connection between the tee shell 1 and the plug 4. The bottom of the plug 4 is fixedly connected to a saddle-shaped plate frame 5. A clamping ring assembly 6 is installed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper part of the tee shell 1 through an assembly hole. The clamping ring assembly 6 can lock the plug 4 by tightening the screws to prevent its axial movement. The top of the plug 4 and the bottom of the flange cover 7 are fixedly installed with an anti-rotation sleeve 8, and the two sets of anti-rotation sleeves 8 interact with each other to play a role in the rotation of the tee shell 1. In order to prevent the circumferential rotation from being blocked, a reducing half-tube 11 is fixedly installed on the outer circumferential surface of the middle part of the tee shell 1 by welding. There are two groups of reducing half-tubes 11, and the two groups of reducing half-tubes 11 are axially symmetrically arranged about the outer circumferential surface of the upper part of the tee shell 1. A head 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the reducing half-tube 11 by welding. The tee shell 1, the reducing half-tube 11 and the head 12 form a completely sealed structure by welding, which can form a permanent sealing structure for the connection between the tee shell 1 and the flange cover 7.

[0028] Working principle: When using the flange all-inclusive welding plugging tee, first put the tee shell 1 and the lower guard plate 2 on the outer surface of the pipe to be blocked. When the tee shell 1 and the lower guard plate 2 are connected, the lower edge of the tee shell 1 and the upper edge of the lower guard plate 2 should be neatly connected, and the outer connection between the tee shell 1 and the lower guard plate 2 should be lined with a retaining strip 3. After the tee shell 1 and the lower guard plate 2 are connected, they can be welded to the pipe. After the tee shell 1 and the lower guard plate 2 are welded, the saddle plate frame 5 is connected by bolts. Fix it at the bottom of the plug 4, and place the plug 4 and the saddle-shaped plate frame 5 on the protruding annular step inside the tee shell 1 through the opening at the top of the tee shell 1. After the plug 4 and the saddle-shaped plate frame 5 are placed, the clamping ring assembly 6 is fastened and locked to the outer surface of the plug 4 by bolts to prevent the plug 4 from axial movement. After the plug 4 is axially locked, two sets of anti-rotation sleeves 8 are respectively fixed to the top of the plug 4 and the bottom of the flange cover 7. After the anti-rotation sleeves 8 are fixed, the flange cover 7 is placed on the top of the tee shell 1. When placing the flange cover 7, it is necessary to align several groups of assembly holes. After the flange cover 7 is placed, the bolts 9 are passed through the assembly holes, and then the flange cover 7 and the tee shell 1 are fastened and sealed with the nuts 10. After the flange cover 7 is fastened, the two groups of anti-rotation sleeves 8 can interact with each other to prevent the plug 4 from rotating in the circumferential direction, thereby making the plug 4 perform the initial sealing of the tee shell 1, and the fastening of the flange cover 7 and the tee shell 1 is for secondary sealing. Finally, the two groups of reducing half pipes 11 are welded to the tee shell 1. After the reducing half pipe 11 and the tee shell 1 are welded, the head 12 is welded to the top of the reducing half pipe 11. Water is injected into the reducing half pipe 11, the head 12 and the tee shell 1 during welding to prevent heat from being transferred to the inside of the tee and causing the internal rubber ring to deform due to heat. At the same time, the stored water can be extracted cleanly after welding, which does not affect the corrosion protection. After the reducing half pipe 11, the head 12 and the tee shell 1 are welded, the blocked tee can be sealed three times, thereby forming a permanent sealing structure.

[0029] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
