The center of crossbeam 3 is vertically fixedly provided with second hydraulic cylinder 7, the piston rod of second hydraulic cylinder 7 is downward and detachably connected with cover plate 8, the bottom of cover plate 8 is coaxially fixedly provided with plugging block 9, the outer surface of cover plate 8 bottom and plugging block 9 is wrapped with sealing gasket 10, cover plate 8 is abutted on the flange 2 of pipeline mouth 1 at, plugging block 9 is inserted in pipeline mouth 1;

[0019] Before the test, when the pipe opening 1 on the pressure container needs to be plugged, the piston rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 7 can be first elongated to an appropriate length, and then the plugging block 9 is manually controlled to be inserted into the pipe opening 1 a little, so that the overall positioning and installation of the device can be realized. Then, the two first hydraulic cylinders 5 are operated to elongate the piston rods, so that the corresponding magnetorheological clamping plates 6 are driven to approach the pipe opening until the magnetorheological clamping plates 6 abut against the outer side wall wrapped around the pipe opening 1, so that the device as a whole is stably clamped and fixed on the pipe opening 1, and the fixed installation of the device as a whole is realized. Then, the second hydraulic cylinder 7 is operated again to continue elongating the piston rod, so that the plugging block 9 is pushed to continue inserting into the pipe opening 1 until the cover plate 8 abuts against the flange 2 at the pipe opening 1, so that the plugging of the pipe opening 1 is completed, and the effectiveness of the plugging is better guaranteed through the cooperation of the sealing gaskets 10 on the cover plate 8 and the plugging block 9, and the plugging quality is improved. After the test, when the plugging device needs to be removed, the piston rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 7 can be first retracted, so that the cover plate 8 and the plugging block 9 are driven to move upwards until the plugging block 9 is completely extracted, so that the plugging of the pipe opening 1 is released, and then the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 is retracted to drive the magnetorheological clamping plates 6 to reset and restore, so that the device can be removed without affecting the subsequent use. In this way, the pipe opening 1 can be quickly and effectively plugged, and the entire plugging device can be conveniently disassembled before and after the test, and the overall operation is more simple and convenient, time-saving and labor-saving, which is more conducive to improving the overall test efficiency, reducing the labor intensity and operation difficulty of the workers, and is more convenient and practical.

[0020] In the embodiment, the magneto-rheological clamp plate 6 comprises a base plate 11, one end of which is fixedly connected with the piston rod of the corresponding first hydraulic cylinder 5, the center of the other end of which is embedded with a pressure sensor 12, the circumferential side of the base plate 11 is embedded with an electromagnetic coil 13, and the circumferential side of the base plate 11 and the end thereof away from the corresponding first hydraulic cylinder 5 are both wrapped with a magneto-rheological elastomer 14, and the electromagnetic coil 13 and the pressure sensor 12 both extend into the magneto-rheological elastomer 14. When the first hydraulic cylinder 5 acts to drive the magneto-rheological clamp plate 6 to approach the pipeline port 1, the electromagnetic coil 13 is not electrified, the magneto-rheological elastomer 14 is in a pre-yield state, the shear yield stress is small, and deformation is easy to occur. When the magneto-rheological clamp plate 6 contacts the pipeline port 1, the impact generated by the contact can be reduced to ensure stability. Then, under the condition that the magneto-rheological clamp plate 6 continues to approach the pipeline port 1, the magneto-rheological elastomer 14 of the magneto-rheological clamp plate 6 can continue to press against the pipeline port 1, at which time the magneto-rheological elastomer 14 is deformed under pressure, so as to be perfectly wrapped on the outside of the pipeline port 1. At the same time, the pressure sensor 12 is pressed and gives an electric signal to the control system 20, so that the control system 20 can determine through the pressure sensor 12 that the magneto-rheological elastomer 14 has been deformed under pressure with the pipeline port 1, thereby automatically controlling the circuit of the electromagnetic coil 13 to be turned on, the electromagnetic coil 13 is electrified to generate a magnetic field, and the magneto-rheological elastomer 14 can generate a large shear yield stress in the magnetic field environment, so that its shape is solidified and no longer changes, and then it can perfectly adapt to the side of the pipeline port 1, and stably fix the device on the pipeline port 1. When the magneto-rheological clamp plate 6 leaves the pipeline port 1, the pressure sensor 12 loses pressure, and gives an electric signal to the control system 20 again, so that the control system 20 can automatically control the circuit of the electromagnetic coil 13 to be turned off, and then the magneto-rheological elastomer 14 returns to the original state after losing the magnetic field effect, so as not to affect its subsequent use, so that it can flexibly adapt to a variety of pipeline ports 1 with different outer diameters, has a wide range of applications, and is more flexible and convenient to use. The electromagnetic coil 13 and the pressure sensor 12 can both use the existing technology. The magneto-rheological elastomer 14 is the existing technology, which is to mix micron-sized ferromagnetic particles into a high polymer, which can deform and recover in a normal environment, and can be solidified in a magnetic field environment, so that the particles in the matrix have chain or columnar structure. The elastic modulus of such material can change with the strength of the applied magnetic field, so it is expected to be widely used in variable stiffness devices and other aspects. Compared with ordinary magneto-rheological fluid, the magneto-rheological elastomer 14 not only has controllability, reversibility, rapid response and other high-tech features, but also has good stability and other unique advantages.

Then, a new cover plate 8 and a plugging block 9 are taken, the mounting box 15 on the new cover plate 8 and the plugging block 9 is inserted into the fixed block 17 in place, the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 18 is operated, the piston rod of the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 18 is extended into the corresponding blind hole 16 in place, and the mounting box 15 is inserted and fixed, so that the fixing and installation of the new cover plate 8 and the plugging block 9 are completed, the installation is stable, and the subsequent plugging is not affected. In this way, the cover plate 8 and the plugging block 9 can be flexibly and conveniently disassembled and replaced as a whole, the cover plate 8 and the plugging block 9 can be adapted to pipes 1 with different inner diameters, the application range is wide, and the whole is more flexible and convenient to use.
