Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of temporary water-blocking devices, specifically relating to a rubber ring sealing ram's horn plug. Background Technology

[0002] In engineering construction and maintenance, especially in pipeline, water conservancy, and equipment repair, plugs are often used to temporarily seal pipes or containers to prevent leakage of water, gas, or other liquids. Traditional plug designs typically rely on threaded connections, but to ensure a tight seal, PTFE tape or other sealing materials are usually used to enhance the seal. While effective, this increases operational complexity and construction time, and with frequent disassembly and installation, the consumption of PTFE tape is significant, potentially leading to a decline in sealing performance.

[0003] In addition, many existing plugs require the use of wrenches or other tools to tighten and loosen, which increases the inconvenience and time cost of operation during on-site construction. Especially in some emergency situations, the inconvenience of hand tightening may lead to low construction efficiency.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN218032082U discloses a pipe plug with a rubber sealing ring, including a fixing rod. A fixing plate is located at the front end of the fixing rod. A front retaining plate, a rubber sealing ring, and a rear retaining plate are sequentially slidably connected through the fixing rod. A sleeve is screwed through the fixing rod, with the front end of the sleeve abutting against the rear side wall of the rear retaining plate. This invention allows for easy replacement of rubber sealing rings of different diameters or damaged rubber sealing rings by first removing the adjusting rod, then rotating the sleeve counterclockwise until the sleeve is completely detached from the fixing rod, and finally removing and replacing the rubber sealing ring. This makes the device suitable for sealing pipes of different diameters and facilitates the replacement of damaged rubber sealing rings. However, the Chinese patent CN218032082U has a complex structure, is not easy to grip, and has cumbersome operation steps. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the inconvenience of tightening and disassembling plugs using tools, this invention proposes a rubber ring-sealed ram's horn plug that can be installed and disassembled directly by hand, simplifying the construction process and saving time and labor costs. Furthermore, it ensures a good seal without the need for Teflon tape or other external sealing materials, thus improving the plug's ease of use and durability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rubber ring sealing ram's horn plug, comprising a plug body, wherein the interior of the plug body is provided with a rubber ring groove, the exterior of the plug body is provided with a ram's horn structure, and a rubber ring is installed in the rubber ring groove.

[0007] In this technical solution, a built-in rubber ring is used as a sealing component, which can automatically provide a sealing effect when tightened, without the need for additional wrapping of Teflon tape or the use of special tools, effectively simplifying the operation process, improving construction efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs during long-term use.

[0008] Preferably, the shape of the rubber ring groove matches the shape of the rubber ring, which enables the rubber ring to be evenly compressed during installation and ensures a sealing effect.

The outer side of the rubber ring is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the pipe, and the inner side of the rubber ring is tightly fitted to the rubber ring groove.

[0009] Preferably, the plug body includes a gripping part and a connecting part, the ram's horn structure is disposed at the top of the gripping part, the connecting part is connected to the pipe, and the gripping part and the connecting part are integrally formed.

[0010] Preferably, the ram's horn structure is an outwardly extending arc-shaped protrusion, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the plug body, with a smooth transition between the two arc-shaped protrusions.

[0011] Preferably, the plug body is provided with external threads, which match the internal threads of the pipe. The plug body is connected to the pipe through the external threads, and can be quickly installed and removed by hand-tightening.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the gripping part is provided with an anti-slip texture, which is a horizontal or vertical groove with a spacing of 1mm to 3mm and a depth of 0.5mm to 1.5mm, which can enhance the gripping force.

[0013] Preferably, the plug body and the rubber ring are fixed by interference fit or adhesive bonding to ensure that the rubber ring will not shift during use.

[0014] Preferably, the height of the ram's horn structure is 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the diameter of the plug body, and the width is 1 / 6 to 1 / 3 of the diameter of the plug body.

[0015] Preferably, a reinforcing rib is provided between the ram's horn structure of the gripping part and the connecting part, and the thickness of the reinforcing rib is 1mm to 2mm, which can improve the structural strength of the plug body.

[0016] Preferably, the surface of the ram's horn structure is provided with a fluorescent coating to enable rapid identification and operation in low-light environments.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1) Easy to operate: The hand-tight design eliminates the need for tools, simplifying the installation and disassembly process;

[0019] 2) Reliable sealing: The built-in rubber ring fits tightly with the rubber ring groove, ensuring a good seal without the need for additional sealing materials;

[0020] 3) Cost reduction: The use of sealing materials such as PTFE tape has been reduced, thus lowering material and operation time costs;

[0021] 4) High durability: The matching design of the rubber ring groove and rubber ring avoids uneven sealing or leakage, and extends service life. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only one preferred embodiment of this utility model and are only used to explain this utility model. They do not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment provides a rubber ring sealing ram's horn plug, a device for sealing pipeline systems, particularly suitable for scenarios requiring rapid installation and disassembly. Figure 1 As shown, its main structure includes a plug body 1, a rubber ring groove 1-1, a ram's horn structure 1-2, and a rubber ring 2. The specific structure of these components is described in detail below.

[0029] The plug body is the core component of the entire device, and its design needs to meet the requirements of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of operation. In this embodiment, the plug body is made of high-strength engineering plastics or corrosion-resistant metal materials to ensure its durability in different environments. Specifically, the plug body is made of aluminum alloy.

[0030] The plug body consists of two main parts: a gripping part and a connecting part. (Refer to...) Figure 1 .

[0031] The gripping part is located on the outside of the plug body and features a squeegee structure to provide a good grip and facilitate hand-tightening. Furthermore, the squeegee structure not only improves ease of operation but also enhances the structural strength and stability of the plug.

[0032] The connecting part is located at the lower end of the plug body and is used for threaded connection with the pipe. The gripping part and the connecting part are integrally molded, ensuring the structural strength and stability and avoiding seal failure due to loose connection.

[0033] The groove of the rubber ring can fix the rubber ring and ensure that it is evenly compressed during installation, thereby achieving a reliable sealing effect.

[0034] The shape of the rubber ring groove matches the shape of the rubber ring, usually an annular groove. Its size is precisely calculated to ensure that the rubber ring can fit tightly against the groove wall after installation, and can deform evenly during tightening to fill the gap between the inner wall of the pipe and the plug body.

[0035] In this embodiment, the depth and width of the rubber ring groove are optimized according to the size and material properties of the rubber ring.

[0036] For example, for rubber rings with good elasticity, the depth of the ring groove can be designed to be 1.2 to 1.5 times the thickness of the ring to ensure that the ring can deform fully under pressure without being over-compressed.

[0037] The width of the groove is adjusted according to the outer diameter of the rubber ring, and is usually slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rubber ring to ensure that the rubber ring can be installed smoothly and maintain a certain amount of room for movement, so that it can automatically adjust its position during tightening and achieve the best sealing effect.

[0038] The ram's horn structure is an important feature of the exterior of the plug body. The ram's horn structure is an outward-extending arc-shaped protrusion, symmetrically set on both sides of the top of the plug body, with a smooth transition between the two arc-shaped protrusions.

[0039] The horn-shaped design on the plug not only provides a good grip, allowing the operator to easily turn the plug by hand, but also increases the friction between the hand and the plug, preventing slippage in wet or oily environments.

[0040] In this embodiment, the height and width of the ram's horn structure are carefully designed to ensure that it provides a good grip without affecting the overall size of the plug body and the installation space.

[0041] Specifically, the height of the ram's horn structure is 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the diameter of the plug body, and the width is 1 / 6 to 1 / 3 of the diameter of the plug body. This size ratio ensures both the practicality and comfort of the ram's horn structure, while avoiding its excessive protrusion that would affect the installation or operation of other components.

[0042] The rubber ring is a key component for achieving the sealing function, and its design and material selection are crucial to the overall performance of the plug.

[0043] In this embodiment, the rubber ring is made of an elastic material, such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or high-performance elastic plastic.

[0044] These materials have good elasticity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can maintain good sealing performance even after long-term use.

[0045] The outer side of the rubber ring is designed to fit tightly against the inner wall of the pipe, and is usually circular or oval. (See reference...) Figure 2 The specific shape is adjusted according to the shape of the inner wall of the pipe.

[0046] The inner side of the rubber ring fits tightly against the rubber ring groove and is fixed in the groove by interference fit or adhesive bonding.

[0047] During installation, when the plug body is screwed into the pipe, the rubber ring is squeezed by the inner wall of the pipe and undergoes elastic deformation, thereby filling the gap between the inner wall of the pipe and the plug body to achieve a sealing effect.

[0048] To ensure the stability and reliability of the rubber ring during use, its size and shape are precisely calculated and optimized.

[0049] For example, the thickness and outer diameter of the rubber ring can be adjusted according to the inner diameter of the pipe and the working pressure to ensure a reliable seal within the specified pressure range.

[0050] In addition, the material of the rubber ring can be selected according to the specific application environment.

[0051] For example, in high-temperature or chemically corrosive environments, elastic materials that are resistant to high temperatures or chemical corrosion can be selected to extend the service life of the rubber ring.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] This embodiment provides a rubber ring sealing ram's horn plug, a device for sealing pipeline systems, particularly suitable for scenarios requiring rapid installation and disassembly. Figure 1As shown, its main structure includes a plug body 1, a rubber ring groove 1-1, a ram's horn structure 1-2, and a rubber ring 2. The specific structure of these components is described in detail below.

[0054] The plug body is the core component of the entire device, and its design needs to meet the requirements of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of operation. In this embodiment, the plug body is made of high-strength engineering plastics or corrosion-resistant metal materials to ensure its durability in different environments. Engineering plastics have good mechanical properties and chemical stability, while being lightweight and easy to handle; while metal materials provide higher strength and durability, making them suitable for high-pressure or harsh environments.

[0055] Specifically, the body of the plug is made of stainless steel. In some other embodiments, the body of the plug may also be made of aluminum alloy or other materials.

[0056] The plug body consists of two main parts: the gripping part and the connecting part.

[0057] The gripping part is located on the outside of the plug body and features a squeegee structure to provide a good grip and facilitate hand-tightening. Furthermore, the squeegee structure not only improves ease of operation but also enhances the structural strength and stability of the plug.

[0058] The connecting part is located at the lower end of the plug body and is used for threaded connection with the pipe. The gripping part and the connecting part are integrally molded, ensuring the structural strength and stability and avoiding seal failure due to loose connection.

[0059] The rubber ring groove is a key design feature inside the plug body. It is used to fix the rubber ring and ensure that it is evenly compressed during installation, thereby achieving a reliable sealing effect.

[0060] The shape of the rubber ring groove matches the shape of the rubber ring, usually an annular groove. Its size is precisely calculated to ensure that the rubber ring can fit tightly against the groove wall after installation, and can deform evenly during tightening to fill the gap between the inner wall of the pipe and the plug body.

[0061] In this embodiment, the depth and width of the rubber ring groove are optimized according to the size and material properties of the rubber ring.

[0062] For example, for rubber rings with good elasticity, the depth of the ring groove can be designed to be 1.2 to 1.5 times the thickness of the ring to ensure that the ring can deform fully under pressure without being over-compressed.

[0063] The width of the groove is adjusted according to the outer diameter of the rubber ring, and is usually slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rubber ring to ensure that the rubber ring can be installed smoothly and maintain a certain amount of room for movement, so that it can automatically adjust its position during tightening and achieve the best sealing effect.

[0064] In addition, the inner wall surface of the rubber ring groove is finely processed and has a high degree of smoothness, which helps to reduce friction of the rubber ring during installation and use, and extend the service life of the rubber ring.

[0065] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the rubber ring groove may also be coated with a thin layer of lubricant or anti-rust coating to further reduce friction and prevent the metal surface from rusting, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the device.

[0066] The ram's horn structure is an important feature of the exterior of the end cap, and its design is inspired by the gripping part of a traditional ram's horn hammer.

[0067] The ram's horn structure consists of outward-extending, arc-shaped protrusions symmetrically positioned on both sides of the top of the plug body, with a smooth transition between the two protrusions. This ram's horn structure on the plug not only provides a good grip, allowing the operator to easily turn the plug by hand, but also increases friction between the hand and the plug, preventing slippage in wet or oily environments.

[0068] In this embodiment, the height and width of the ram's horn structure are carefully designed to ensure that it provides a good grip without affecting the overall size of the plug body and the installation space.

[0069] Specifically, the height of the ram's horn structure is 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the diameter of the plug body, and the width is 1 / 6 to 1 / 3 of the diameter of the plug body. This size ratio ensures both the practicality and comfort of the ram's horn structure, while avoiding its excessive protrusion that would affect the installation or operation of other components.

[0070] The surface of the ram's horn structure can also be specially treated as needed.

[0071] For example, in some embodiments, the surface of the ram's horn structure is provided with anti-slip texture, such as horizontal or vertical grooves with a spacing of 1 mm to 3 mm and a depth of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm.

[0072] These anti-slip textures further enhance the friction between the hand and the horn structure, ensuring stable operation of the plug in various environments.

[0073] In addition, the surface of the ram's horn structure can be coated with a fluorescent coating, making it easier to spot and operate in low-light environments, thus improving the safety and convenience of construction.

[0074] The rubber ring is a key component for achieving the sealing function, and its design and material selection are crucial to the overall performance of the plug.

[0075] In this embodiment, the rubber ring is made of an elastic material, such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or high-performance elastic plastic.

[0076] These materials have good elasticity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can maintain good sealing performance even after long-term use.

[0077] The outer side of the rubber ring is designed to fit tightly against the inner wall of the pipe, usually in a circular or oval shape, with the specific shape adjusted according to the shape of the inner wall of the pipe.

[0078] The inner side of the rubber ring fits tightly against the rubber ring groove and is fixed in the groove by interference fit or adhesive bonding.

[0079] During installation, when the plug body is screwed into the pipe, the rubber ring is squeezed by the inner wall of the pipe and undergoes elastic deformation, thereby filling the gap between the inner wall of the pipe and the plug body to achieve a sealing effect.

[0080] To ensure the stability and reliability of the rubber ring during use, its size and shape are precisely calculated and optimized.

[0081] For example, the thickness and outer diameter of the rubber ring can be adjusted according to the inner diameter of the pipe and the working pressure to ensure a reliable seal within the specified pressure range.

[0082] In addition, the material of the rubber ring can be selected according to the specific application environment.

[0083] For example, in high-temperature or chemically corrosive environments, elastic materials that are resistant to high temperatures or chemical corrosion can be selected to extend the service life of the rubber ring.

[0084] The following details the installation and operation process of a rubber ring sealing ram's horn plug according to this utility model.

[0085] The installation and operation of this utility model's rubber ring sealing horn plug are very simple, requiring no tools. The operator simply installs the rubber ring into the groove of the plug body, aligns the connecting part of the plug body with the threaded interface of the pipe, holds the horn structure, and twists the plug body clockwise to ensure a tight connection with the pipe. Due to the elastic deformation of the rubber ring, a reliable seal is formed between the plug body and the pipe, effectively preventing liquid or gas leakage.

[0086] During disassembly, the operator can easily remove the plug from the pipe by simply twisting the plug body in the reverse direction. Thanks to the squeegee design providing a good grip, the operator can easily complete the disassembly even if there is residual liquid or gas in the pipe, without worrying about the plug slipping or being damaged.

[0087] This utility model's rubber ring sealing horn plug is particularly suitable for pipe sealing scenarios requiring rapid installation and disassembly, such as temporary sealing during construction, pipe isolation during equipment maintenance, and emergency repairs in water conservancy projects. Compared with traditional plug designs, this utility model has the following significant advantages:

[0088] 1. Easy Operation: The plug's exterior features a swivel-horn structure, providing a better grip and making hand-tightening easier. It also prevents the plug from slipping due to external force during use, ensuring a secure hold. The hand-tightening design allows for easy manual installation and removal of the plug without the need for any additional tools, such as wrenches. This simplifies the installation and removal process, improves the convenience and efficiency of construction, and saves time and labor costs.

[0089] 2. Reliable Sealing: Utilizing a built-in rubber ring for sealing eliminates the cumbersome steps of using PTFE tape in traditional plugs. The built-in rubber ring fits tightly into the groove, creating a tight seal during installation to ensure no liquid or gas leakage, eliminating the need for additional PTFE tape or other sealing materials.

[0090] 3. Cost reduction: Reduced use of sealing materials lowers material and operation time costs.

[0091] 4. High Durability: The plug features a specially designed groove for the rubber ring, ensuring stable and even pressure distribution for a more efficient and long-lasting seal. This groove-and-ring design prevents uneven sealing or leakage, extending the product's lifespan.

[0092] 5. Strong applicability: Suitable for a variety of pipe materials and working environments, including harsh conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, and chemical corrosion.

[0093] This invention significantly simplifies the construction process by using a hand-tightened rubber ring sealing plug, avoiding the cumbersome steps required by traditional plugs that necessitate tools and Teflon tape. The built-in rubber ring provides a reliable seal, ensuring effective sealing of liquids or gases without the need for additional Teflon tape, reducing material waste and operational inconvenience. Furthermore, the hand-tightening design allows for quick installation and removal of the plug, improving on-site work efficiency, and is particularly suitable for engineering environments requiring temporary sealing and frequent disassembly / reassembly. Overall, this invention not only improves operational convenience and construction efficiency but also reduces long-term maintenance costs, demonstrating strong practicality and economic efficiency.
