Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a pipe-to-manhole connection sealing device, including a connecting pipe 1, a pipe sealing unit 2, and a vertical shaft waterproofing unit 3;

[0028] Connecting pipe 1: It consists of two sections of pipe, one horizontal and one vertical, which are fixedly connected. The two ends of the horizontal section of connecting pipe 1 are connected to the laying pipeline, and the upper end of connecting pipe 1 is inserted into the interior of the cement-poured inspection well.

[0029] Pipe sealing unit 2: includes connecting flange 21, annular groove 22, locking block 23 and sealing gasket 24. Both ends of the horizontal section of connecting pipe 1 are fixedly connected to a connecting flange 21. A ring of flange holes is circumferentially arranged on the annular surface of the connecting flange 21. The outer port of the connecting flange 21 extends beyond the outer port of the connecting pipe 1, and an annular groove 22 is provided on the inner ring side of the port of the connecting flange 21. A ring of locking blocks 23 is circumferentially fixedly connected inside the annular groove 22 and on the side close to the inner ring. The locking block 23 has a slightly curved structure and a gap is left between two adjacent locking blocks 23. The sealing gasket 24 is locked inside the annular groove 22 and its outer end protrudes outward.

[0030] Vertical shaft waterproof unit 3: installed in the vertical section of connecting pipe 1.

[0031] The connecting flange 21 is used to connect the horizontal end of the connecting pipe 1 to the pipes laid on both sides. The outer end of the sealing gasket 24 protrudes outward and can be compressed when the two flanges are tightened, so that the gasket fits the flange more tightly, thereby improving the sealing performance of the pipe connection. The annular groove 22 is used for the installation of the sealing gasket 24, and the inner retaining block 23 can prevent the gasket from falling off when the sealing gasket 24 is installed.

[0032] The pipe sealing unit 2 also includes locking holes 25 and an inner rubber ring 26. The inner rubber ring 26 is fixedly connected to the inner ring side of the sealing gasket 24. The outer end of the inner rubber ring 26 is flush with the outer end face of the sealing gasket 24, and the inner end of the inner rubber ring 26 protrudes outward. A ring of locking holes 25 is arranged in a circumferential array on the inner ring side of the sealing gasket 24. The number, shape, and size of the locking holes 25 are the same as those of the locking block 23. The locking holes 25 are used for the installation and locking of the sealing gasket 24. When installing the sealing gasket 24, the locking holes 25 are aligned with the locking block 23 and locked in, so that the sealing gasket 24 can be installed conveniently and achieve the effect of locking and preventing it from falling off. After being squeezed by the flange, the protruding part of the inner rubber ring 26 will stick tightly to the joint between the connecting flange 21 and the connecting pipe 1, thereby achieving a sealing effect between the flanges and improving the sealing performance between the connecting flange 21 and the connecting pipe 1.

[0033] The pipe sealing unit 2 also includes metal rings 27, fastening blocks 28, and sealing rings 29. Four metal rings 27 are fixedly connected in a circumferential array to the inward-facing end of the connecting flange 21, forming a circular structure. The ends of adjacent metal rings 27 do not connect. A fastening block 28 is fixedly connected to the end of each metal ring 27, and adjacent fastening blocks 28 are fastened together with bolts. A sealing ring 29 is fitted onto the outer circumference of the connecting pipe 1, sandwiched between the outer wall of the connecting pipe 1 and the inner ring side of the metal rings 27. By using bolts to fasten each metal ring 27, the tightness of the connection between the connecting flange 21 and the connecting pipe 1 can be improved on the basis of welding. Furthermore, as the metal rings 27 tighten, the inner sealing ring 29 is also tightened, thereby further improving the sealing performance between the connecting flange 21 and the connecting pipe 1.

[0034] The vertical shaft waterproof unit 3 includes an inspection cover 31 and an inner cylinder 35. An annular groove is formed on the inner side of the upper end of the vertical section of the connecting pipe 1, creating an inner cylinder 35 that is separated from the inner wall of the vertical section of the connecting pipe 1. The height of the upper port of the inner cylinder 35 is between the upper port of the connecting pipe 1 and the bottom of the groove. A circular inspection cover 31 is threaded onto the port of the inner cylinder 35. By creating an annular groove on the inner side of the upper end of the vertical section of the connecting pipe 1, the upper port of the inner cylinder 35 is higher than the groove, allowing water seeping into the vertical shaft from the wellhead to flow into the groove between the pipe and the inner cylinder 35. This effectively prevents the seeping water from flowing into the pipe through the inspection port of the inner cylinder 35. The inspection cover 31 is used to seal the inspection port.

[0035] The vertical shaft waterproof unit 3 also includes a drainage channel 33 and a drain outlet 34. A ring of drainage channels 33 is arranged in a circular array inside the vertical section of the connecting pipe 1. The vertical section of the drainage channel 33 faces upwards and connects to the annular groove inside the connecting pipe 1. The lower section of the drainage channel 33 opens obliquely outwards and connects to the drain outlet 34 on the outside of the vertical section of the connecting pipe 1. Water flowing into the groove between the pipe and the inner cylinder 35 will be guided downwards along the vertical drainage channel 33 and discharged outwards from the drain outlet 34, thereby preventing water accumulation inside the annular groove.

[0036] The vertical shaft waterproof unit 3 also includes a rotating rod 32. A section of the rotating rod 32 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inspection cover 31, and the middle position of the rotating rod 32 coincides with the center position of the inspection cover 31. By rotating the rotating rod 32, the shaft can be opened, allowing workers to unclog the pipes or inspect the internal wiring.

[0037] The working principle of the pipe and manhole connection sealing device provided by this utility model is as follows: This device has multiple sealing measures. Sealing components are provided inside the device and at the connection with the external pipe, which greatly improves the sealing performance of the device. At the connection with the laid pipe, the connecting flange 21 is used to connect the horizontal end of the connecting pipe 1 to the pipes laid on both sides. The outer end of the sealing gasket 24 protrudes outward and can be compressed when the two flanges are tightened, so that the gasket fits the flange more tightly, thereby improving the sealing performance of the pipe connection. The annular groove 22 is used for the installation of the sealing gasket 24. The inner locking block 23 can prevent the gasket from falling off when installing the sealing gasket 24. The locking hole 25 is used for the installation and locking of the sealing gasket 24. When installing the sealing gasket 24, the locking hole 25 and the locking block 23 are aligned and locked in, so that the sealing gasket 24 can be installed conveniently and has a locking and anti-loosening effect. Inside the device, bolts are used to tighten the metal rings 27, which improves the tightness of the connection between the connecting flange 21 and the connecting pipe 1, building upon the welding process. Furthermore, as the metal rings 27 tighten, the inner sealing ring 29 is also tightened, further enhancing the seal between the connecting flange 21 and the connecting pipe 1. Additionally, under the compression effect of the flange, the protruding portion of the inner rubber ring 26 adheres tightly to the joint between the connecting flange 21 and the connecting pipe 1, thus achieving a seal between the flanges while simultaneously improving the seal between the connecting flange 21 and the connecting pipe 1. This device also features a reliable vertical shaft waterproof unit 3 and an inspection cover 31 for sealing the inspection port. By opening an annular groove on the inner side of the upper end of the vertical section of the connecting pipe 1, the upper end of the inner cylinder 35 is higher than the groove, allowing water seeping into the vertical shaft from the wellhead to flow into the groove between the pipe and the inner cylinder 35, effectively preventing the seeping water from flowing into the pipe through the inspection port of the inner cylinder 35. The drainage channel 33 drains the water in the groove outward, thereby preventing water accumulation inside the annular groove. By rotating the rotating rod 32, the rotation can be opened, allowing workers to unclog the pipe or inspect the internal wiring.
