Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pressurized tapping in water supply systems, and specifically relates to a pressurized tapping device for water supply systems. Background Technology
[0002] In the maintenance and expansion of modern urban water supply systems, it is often necessary to drill holes in water supply pipes without interrupting water supply to connect new branch pipes or install valves and other accessories. Traditional drilling methods usually require stopping the water supply before drilling, which not only disrupts users' normal water use but also increases workload and time costs. Although pressurized drilling equipment exists on the market, these devices generally suffer from complex structures, inconvenient operation, and poor sealing performance. Especially when drilling high-pressure water pipes, traditional equipment is prone to leakage, even causing safety accidents. Furthermore, existing pressurized drilling equipment is often not securely fixed, easily shifting during operation, affecting the accuracy and quality of drilling. Low drilling efficiency is also a common problem, with long drilling times and low work efficiency, making it difficult to meet the requirements of rapid construction. Therefore, developing a pressurized drilling device for water supply systems that is simple in structure, easy to operate, has good sealing performance, is securely fixed, and has high drilling efficiency is of great significance for improving the efficiency and quality of water supply system maintenance and expansion.
