[0031] The embodiments will be described below according to the overall structure of the utility model.
[0032] Embodiment one:
[0033] A leaking tool for seawater desalination reverse osmosis (RO) membrane shell PV water inlet and outlet joint, like Figures 1-4As shown, the plugging tool 1 comprises a top plate 101 and a bottom plate 102, and a gas bag ring 107 is arranged between the top plate 101 and the bottom plate 102. A valve core 106 is arranged on one side of the top of the top plate 101 and is in communication with the gas bag ring 107. The top plate 101 and the bottom plate 102 are made of hard rubber, and the gas bag ring 107 is made of flexible rubber. The top plate 101 and the bottom plate 102 of the plugging tool 1 are designed to be made of hard rubber, which ensures the firmness and stability of the tool during the plugging process. The gas bag ring 107 arranged between the top plate 101 and the bottom plate 102 is made of flexible rubber and can tightly fit the surface of the seawater desalination reverse osmosis RO membrane shell PV water inlet and outlet joint after being inflated through the valve core 106, thereby forming an effective seal to prevent water leakage. This design of combining rigidity and flexibility not only ensures the reliability of plugging but also improves the adaptability of the tool.
[0034] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , a handle 105 is arranged at the top axial center of the top plate 101, and two side ears 103 are arranged on both sides of the handle 105. The handle 105 arranged at the top axial center of the top plate 101 and the two side ears 103 on both sides of the handle 105 provide stable gripping points for the operator. This design not only makes the plugging tool 1 easier to operate and control, especially in emergency or high-altitude operations, but also effectively reduces the physical exertion of the operator, improving the safety and efficiency of the work.
[0035] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , a bolt 108 is threaded through the two side ears 103 and extends to the bottom of the bottom plate 102. The bolt 108 threaded through the two side ears 103 not only tightly connects the top plate 101 and the bottom plate 102 together but also enhances the overall structural strength of the plugging tool 1 through the threaded design. The extension of the bolt 108 to the bottom of the bottom plate 102 ensures that the tool will not loosen or fall off during the plugging process, thereby improving the stability and durability of the plugging.
[0036] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , a bolt head 104 is arranged at the top of the bolt 108, and a gasket 110 is sleeved on the bolt 108. The bolt head 104 arranged at the top of the bolt 108 facilitates the operator to use the tool for fastening or disassembly, and the gasket 110 sleeved on the bolt 108 can disperse the pressure generated during the tightening of the bolt, thereby protecting the top plate 101 from being crushed. This design not only improves the durability of the plugging tool 1 but also ensures the tightness of the bolt connection.
