AI Technical Summary
Existing sealing airbags rely solely on friction between the airbag and the inner wall of the pipe for fixation during use. This can easily lead to loosening and sealing failure when the water pressure inside the pipe is high or when the airbag does not fit tightly against the pipe.
A rapid sealing airbag for underground pipeline maintenance was designed. By setting a fixing plate, fixing rod, clamping rod, spring and sealing ring on the airbag, the clamping rod automatically unfolds under the action of the spring to contact the inner wall of the pipeline, providing support and limiting, and enhancing the stability of the airbag.
It improves the stability of the airbag under high water pressure and poor fit, reduces the possibility of sealing failure, and enhances the reliability and practicality of use.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline maintenance tools, specifically to a quick-sealing airbag for underground pipeline maintenance. Background Technology
[0002] The sealing airbag is a rubber product made of high-molecular synthetic materials such as rubber and fiber fabric through a high-temperature vulcanization process. It comes in various specifications and shapes and is used for water conveyance, sewage discharge, sludge removal and maintenance of pipelines and culverts. It is mainly used for drainage and sewage pipeline emergency repair, water tightness test and leakage detection. It is an ideal tool for underground pipeline water conveyance and drainage and sludge treatment.
[0003] A pipeline sealing airbag, with publication number CN216520283U, is described. It includes an airbag body with a first inflation tube fixedly connected to the middle right side of the body. This invention allows a set of air pumps to inflate the supporting airbag via a first pump tube, a first connecting tube, and a first inflation tube. Air from the supporting airbag is transmitted to the strut airbag and the annular airbag assembly, forming a support structure. This allows the airbag body to be quickly inflated, creating a gap. A second pump connected to a second pump tube then rapidly inflates the airbag body via the second pump tube, a second connecting tube, and a second inflation tube. When a first pressure gauge at the first connecting tube detects that the internal pressure of the supporting airbag has reached a standard value, a first air valve can be controlled to seal the first connecting tube, thus closing the pump connected to the first pump tube and completing the internal support of the airbag body. This pipeline sealing airbag structure, connecting two sets of air pumps, effectively improves inflation efficiency.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that existing sealing airbags rely solely on the friction between the airbag and the inner wall of the pipe for fixation. However, this can easily lead to sealing failure when the water pressure inside the pipe is high or when the airbag loosens due to poor fit. Therefore, we propose a rapid sealing airbag for underground pipeline maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the current pipeline sealing airbags, this utility model is proposed.
[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-sealing airbag for underground pipeline maintenance, which solves the problem that existing sealing airbags rely solely on the friction between the airbag and the inner wall of the pipeline to fix the airbag, but when the water pressure inside the pipeline is high or the airbag is not tightly fitted to the pipeline and becomes loose, the sealing will easily fail.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A quick-sealing airbag for underground pipeline maintenance includes an airbag with a fixing plate. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, and a locking rod is hinged to the fixing rod. The fixing rod has a strip groove inside and a guide groove on its outer wall. The guide groove and the strip groove are interconnected. A movable block is embedded in the guide groove. A connecting block is provided on the outer wall of the movable block. The connecting block extends into the interior of the guide groove and is hinged to a support rod. The other end of the support rod is hinged to the outer wall of the locking rod. A connecting rod is provided on the outer wall of the movable block. The other end of the connecting rod extends into the exterior of the fixing rod. A spring is nested on the connecting rod and is pressed between the inner wall of the strip groove and the outer wall of the movable block.
[0009] Preferably, a pull ring is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod that extends to the outside of the fixed rod. The pull ring and the connecting rod are integrated into one structure, and a rubber sleeve is nested on the pull ring.
[0010] Preferably, the fixing rod is provided with multiple fixing rings, and an air supply pipe is provided through the fixing ring. One end of the air supply pipe passes through the fixing plate and communicates with the inside of the airbag, and the other end of the air supply pipe is provided with a valve.
[0011] Preferably, the airbag is provided with a plurality of annular grooves evenly distributed on it, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to each of the plurality of annular grooves.
[0012] Furthermore, the sealing ring is a wear-resistant rubber ring.
[0013] Preferably, the end of the clamping rod away from the fixed rod is provided with a tapered head, and the tapered head and the clamping rod are integrated into one structure.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0015] This invention, by setting a locking rod, can automatically unfold under the action of a spring after the locking rod enters the pipe, so that the locking rod can contact the inner wall of the pipe, thereby providing a certain support for the airbag, thus improving the stability and reliability of the airbag during use, reducing the possibility of sealing failure when the water pressure is high or when the airbag body is not tightly attached to the pipe and becomes loose, and has strong overall practicality.
