[0002] Natural gas, as a clean energy source, is widely used in various industries. Natural gas needs to be transported through pipelines, but during transportation, pipelines are often damaged, leading to natural gas leaks. When repairing natural gas pipelines, it is necessary to seal the pipeline on both sides of the damaged pipeline and then replace the damaged parts. Existing natural gas pipeline sealing devices have certain drawbacks in use and are prone to leakage.

[0003] Existing technology, patent number CN202120797067.8, discloses a natural gas pipeline repair and sealing device, including a gas pipe and a placement platform. A fixed platform is fixedly connected to the placement platform, and two telescopic rod assemblies are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed platform. Each telescopic rod assembly includes a telescopic main rod fixed to the side wall of the fixed platform, and a telescopic secondary rod slidably connected to the free end of the telescopic main rod. The outer side of the end of the telescopic secondary rod is located inside the gas pipe and fixedly connected to an air bladder. The air bladder contacts the inner wall of the gas pipe. An air pump is also fixedly connected to the placement platform, and the air pump is connected to one end of the gas pipe. This utility model uses an air bladder for sealing. After the air bladder is inflated, it makes tight contact with the inner wall of the gas pipe, and the sealing quality is much higher than that of traditional rubber cups or sealing blocks, avoiding gas leakage. This utility model is equipped with an external pressure assembly. The meniscus in the external pressure assembly applies pressure to the outer wall of the gas pipe, so that the pressure on the inner and outer sides of the gas pipe is mutually offset, avoiding uneven stress on the gas pipe and thus preventing damage.

[0004] The aforementioned patent also has some shortcomings. For example, it lacks a gas alarm mechanism, and if a leak occurs during the sealing process, it is not easy to detect it immediately. Therefore, the existing technology needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a natural gas pipeline repair and sealing device, including a support platform 1, electric push rods 2 are installed on both the left and right side walls of the support platform 1, and a support seat 7 is installed at the drive end of the electric push rod 2; support rods 6 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the rear side of the outer wall of the support seat 7, and collars 8 are installed at the ends of the support rods 6; an airbag 5 is installed on the outside of the support seat 7 at the front end of the support rods 6, and a leather cup 4 is installed at the front end of the support seat 7; a detection box 3 is installed on both the left and right ends of the outer wall of the support seat 7, and a buzzer 18 is installed at the top of the detection box 3; a sensor 17 is installed on the upper end of the inner wall of the detection box 3, a lifting float 14 is installed inside the detection box 3, and an electric contact block 19 is installed at the top of the lifting float 14 directly below the sensor 17; and an air inlet 12 is opened on the outer wall of the detection box 3.

[0025] In this technical solution, electric push rods 2 are vertically fixed to the left and right outer walls of the support platform 1. The end of the electric push rod 2 is fixedly installed with a support seat 7. The outside of the support seat 7 is equipped with a collar 8 through two support rods 6. By extending the electric push rod 2, the end cup 4 and air bag 5 are extended out of the gas pipeline for sealing. The support ring 6 is located outside the gas pipeline. The inner wall of the collar 8 is equipped with a detection box 3. The inner wall of the detection box 3 is in contact with the sensor 17 through the contact block 19, thereby triggering an alarm through a buzzer. The sensor 17 is a pressure sensor used to sense touch action. The buzzer is a piezoelectric buzzer. Gas can enter through the air inlet 12. The inside of the detection box 3, located at the air inlet 12, is also equipped with a gas detector and a buzzer a. The gas detector and buzzer a are electrically connected, and an alarm can be triggered when gas enters the air inlet 12. The volume of the buzzer a is different from that of the regular buzzer.

[0026] In some technical solutions, the detection box 3 is also equipped with a power supply and control circuit, and the buzzer 18, sensor 17 and control circuit are electrically connected.

[0027] In this technical solution, the control circuit is a microprocessor (MCU) that mainly processes and judges the signals from the sensor. When the sensor 17 signal reaches or exceeds the set trigger value, it controls the buzzer to sound. The power supply is a battery that powers the system.

[0028] In some technical solutions, slide rails 13 are installed on both inner walls of the detection box 3, and sliders 15 are installed at both ends of the lifting float 14. The sliders 15 are installed inside the slide rails 13.

[0029] In this technical solution, the slider 15 can move up and down within the slide rail 13 to assist the lifting float 14 in moving up and down.

[0030] In some technical solutions, the outer wall of the support 1 is equipped with an air pump 10, the output end of the air pump 10 is equipped with an air pipe 9, and the end of the air pipe 9 is connected to an airbag 5.

[0031] In this technical solution, air can be pumped into the airbag 5 by the air pump 10.

[0032] In some technical solutions, the upper and lower inner walls of the collar 8 are provided with a mounting groove 21 at their front ends. A mounting arc plate 22 is installed in the mounting groove 21. A screw hole 20 is provided on the outer wall of the collar 8 at the mounting groove 21. A bolt body 19 is screwed into the screw hole 20. A circular groove 191 is provided at the bottom end of the bolt body 19. A bolt rod 193 is vertically installed in the circular groove 191. The bolt rod 193 is screwed into the screw hole 20. A bearing seat 199 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting arc plate 22. The end of the bolt rod 193 is located in the bearing seat 199.

[0033] In this technical solution, when the collar 8 is placed outside the gas pipeline, the threaded engagement between the bolt rod 193 in the bolt body 19 and the screw hole 20 pushes the embedded arc plate 22 downward, pressing the embedded arc plate 22 against the outside of the gas pipeline and at the airbag support, thereby protecting the inner and outer walls of the gas pipeline.

[0034] In some technical solutions, a retaining ring 196 is installed on the upper outer end of the bolt rod 193, and an annular pressure plate 195, a spring 197 and an annular rubber sheet 192 are fitted on the circumferential surface of the bolt rod 193.

[0035] In this technical solution, the annular pressure plate 195 is located above the fixed ring 196, the spring 197 is located above the annular pressure plate 195, and the annular rubber sheet 192 is located below the fixed ring 196.

[0036] In some technical solutions, an extrusion block 194 is installed at the upper edge of the annular rubber sheet 192, and an arc surface 198 is provided on the outer wall of the bolt body 19, and the surface of the arc surface 198 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0037] In this technical solution, the annular pressure plate 195 is pressed downward by the spring 197, and the extrusion block 194 is pressed downward by the annular pressure plate 195, so that the extrusion block 194 further extrudes the edge of the annular rubber sheet 192, thereby improving the sealing effect. The setting of the arc surface 198 facilitates the driving of the bolt body 19.

[0038] Working process and principle: In use, first, place the support platform 1 at the gas pipeline to be blocked, and place the end of the electric push rod 2 at the gas pipeline. Then, control the electric push rod 2 to extend, inserting the cup 4 and the air bag 5 into the gas pipeline. At this time, the collar 8 is located outside the gas pipeline. Then, inflate the air bag 5 with the air pump 10 until the outer wall of the air bag 5 is in tight contact with the inner wall of the gas pipeline, thereby blocking it. Then, rotate the bolt body 19 downward to make the embedded arc plate 22 contact the outer wall of the gas pipeline, thereby providing pressure protection. When the blocking operation is wrong and gas leaks, when gas briefly enters the detection box 3 through the air inlet 12, it is detected by the first gas detector, and the buzzer a alarms. When a large amount of gas enters the detection box 3, the lifting float 14 is pushed upward, the contact block 16 contacts the sensor 17, and the buzzer 17 will emit a louder sound to alarm.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
