AI Technical Summary
During live pipeline tapping and plugging operations, iron filings left inside the pipeline may cause the plugging to fail. Existing cleaning devices cannot completely eliminate the risk, and may even damage the sealing surface of the rubber cup under extreme conditions.
A device for removing iron filings left in a pressurized pipe opening is designed. It utilizes a sealing tee and an adsorption assembly, including a main support, a movable support, and a magnet, connected by a hinge shaft, to adsorb iron filings inside the pipe, especially those that have entered the downstream area.
It improves the range and efficiency of iron filings adsorption, reduces the risk of damage to the sealing surface of the rubber cup, avoids pipe blockage, and ensures the sealing performance and construction progress of the plug.
