[0010] Preferably, the surface of the insertion rod is provided with a groove, the other end of the insertion rod is provided with a pressure block, and the contact part between the insertion rod and the base is slidably connected by a Y-shaped sealing ring.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, carbon dioxide gas generated by the reaction between citric acid liquid and sodium bicarbonate particle layer is prevented from flowing into the outside through the cavity.

[0012] Preferably, a return spring is provided between the slip ring and the cavity, and the return spring is sleeved on the outside of the insertion rod.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove is kept away from the plastic film so that it can be aligned with the limiting plate.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting component includes a guide groove, which is formed at the top of the base. A screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove via a bearing. An I-shaped plate that slides with the guide groove is threaded onto the surface of the screw.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] 1. This utility model uses a plunger to puncture the plastic film, causing the citric acid liquid to react with the sodium bicarbonate granule layer and produce a large amount of carbon dioxide, increasing the air pressure inside the silicone sleeve. The silicone sleeve expands due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside, thus fixing the silicone sleeve inside the pipe. Compared with the prior art, it is not necessary to press the entire silicone plug forcefully when the pipe is blocked, reducing the labor intensity during installation.

[0022] 2. This utility model removes the sealing cap to release the seal on the exhaust pipe, allowing the exhaust pipe to discharge carbon dioxide gas from inside the connecting shell, thereby balancing the air pressure inside the silicone sleeve with the external air pressure and relieving the expansion state of the silicone sleeve. Compared with the prior art, it eliminates the need to rotate and pull out the entire silicone plug during disassembly, reducing the labor intensity during disassembly. Attached Figure Description

[0028] 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.

[0029] The following describes an embodiment of this utility model based on its overall structure.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-purpose silicone plug, including a base 1, a silicone sleeve 2 and a connecting shell 3 fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the base 1, a storage tube 4 fixedly mounted in the middle of the connecting shell 3, the inside of the storage tube 4 being filled with citric acid liquid, a plastic film 5 fixedly mounted at the top end of the storage tube 4, a mesh cover 6 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the top of the connecting shell 3, a sodium bicarbonate particle layer 9 being provided between the mesh cover 6 and the connecting shell 3, a plurality of vent holes 10 evenly distributed in a ring on the surface of the connecting shell 3, and a film-binding assembly 7 being provided at the top end of the base 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the film-piercing assembly 7 includes a cavity 71 and a limiting assembly 8. The cavity 71 is opened inside the base 1. A slip ring 72 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 71. An insertion rod 73 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the slip ring 72. One end of the insertion rod 73 is sharp to facilitate piercing the plastic film 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the surface of the insertion rod 73 is provided with a groove 74 so that the limiting plate 84 abuts against the insertion rod 73, preventing the insertion rod 73 from moving without being fixed. The other end of the insertion rod 73 is fixed with a pressure block 75. The contact part between the insertion rod 73 and the base 1 is slidably connected by a Y-shaped sealing ring to prevent the cavity 71 from communicating with the inside of the connecting shell 3, thereby preventing the carbon dioxide gas generated by the reaction of citric acid liquid and sodium bicarbonate particle layer 9 from flowing into the outside through the cavity 71. When the finger presses against the pressure block 75, the insertion rod 73 is moved by pushing the pressure block 75 until the insertion rod 73 punctures the plastic film 5.

[0033] In a further embodiment, a return spring 76 is fixedly provided between the slip ring 72 and the cavity 71. The return spring 76 is sleeved on the outside of the insertion rod 73. The return spring 76 extends before the pressure block 75 is squeezed and pushes the slip ring 72 to move until the slip ring 72 is blocked by the cavity 71. At this time, the insertion rod 73 remains away from the plastic film 5 so that the groove 74 is aligned with the limiting plate 84. The return spring 76 is compressed by the slip ring 72 when the pressure block 75 is squeezed, and extends after the pressure block 75 is released to make the pressure block 75 return to its original position.

[0034] In this embodiment, the limiting component 8 includes a guide groove 81, which is formed at the top of the base 1. A screw 82 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 81 via a bearing. An I-shaped plate 83 that slides with the guide groove 81 is threaded onto the surface of the screw 82. The guide groove 81 guides the movement of the I-shaped plate 83. A limiting plate 84 that slides with the inner wall of the groove 74 is fixedly provided on one side of the I-shaped plate 83. The limiting plate 84 is inserted into the groove 74 to fix the insertion rod 73 and prevent it from being pushed due to accident. One end of the screw 82 passes through the inner wall of one side of the guide groove 81 and is fixedly provided with a turntable to facilitate the rotation of the screw 82.

[0035] In this embodiment, an exhaust pipe 11 is fixedly provided at the top of the base 1. One end of the exhaust pipe 11 passes through the top of the base 1 and is placed inside the top of the connecting shell 3. A sealing cap 12 is threadedly connected to the surface of the exhaust pipe 11. By removing the sealing cap 12, the seal on the exhaust pipe 11 is released, and carbon dioxide gas is discharged from the exhaust pipe 11, releasing the expansion state of the silicone sleeve 2. An anti-roll frame 13 is fixedly provided on the surface of the base 1. An auxiliary groove 14 is opened at the top of the anti-roll frame 13. Both the anti-roll frame 13 and the auxiliary groove 14 are set as hexagonal prisms. Silicone plugs are installed at both ends of the pipe. At this time, the pipe is laid flat on the ground, and the two anti-roll frames 13 support the pipe to prevent it from rolling along the ground, which facilitates construction and enhances practicality. An operating groove 15 is opened on the surface of the anti-roll frame 13 and communicates with the auxiliary groove 14. The operating groove 15 makes it easy to pinch the turntable.

[0036] In this embodiment, the silicone sleeve 2 is fitted over the outside of the connecting shell 3. The silicone sleeve 2 is formed by sequentially connecting a first hollow cylindrical portion 21, a first hollow frustum portion 22, a second hollow cylindrical portion 23, a second hollow frustum portion 24, a third hollow cylindrical portion 25, and a bottom hollow frustum portion 26. The first hollow cylindrical portion 21 and the first hollow frustum portion 22 can be adapted to the plugging operation of the first specification pipe, the second hollow cylindrical portion 23 and the second hollow frustum portion 24 can be adapted to the plugging operation of the second specification pipe, and the third hollow cylindrical portion 25 and the bottom hollow frustum portion 26 can be adapted to the plugging operation of the third specification pipe.

[0037] The working principle and process of a multi-purpose silicone stopper:

[0038] With the pipe placed horizontally, rotate the silicone plug horizontally by 90° so that the hollow truncated cone 26 faces the horizontally placed pipe opening. Push the silicone plug to make the silicone sleeve 2 slide into the pipe. When the silicone sleeve 2 is in contact with the pipe, rotate the screw 82. The screw 82 drives the I-shaped plate 83 and the limiting plate 84 to move, causing the limiting plate 84 to disengage from the groove 74 and release the fixing of the limiting plate 84 to the insertion rod 73. Then press the pressure block 75. The pressure block 75 drives the insertion rod 73 to move until the insertion rod 73 punctures the plastic film 5. At this time, the citric acid liquid inside the storage cylinder 4 will flow into the connecting shell 3. The citric acid liquid reacts with the sodium bicarbonate particle layer 9 and produces a large amount of carbon dioxide, increasing the air pressure inside the silicone sleeve 2. The silicone sleeve 2 will expand due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside, increasing the sliding friction between the silicone sleeve 2 and the pipe, and finally fixing the silicone sleeve 2 inside the pipe. Compared with the existing technology, it is not necessary to press the entire silicone plug when the pipe is blocked, reducing the labor intensity during installation.

[0039] Furthermore, when disassembly is required, rotate the sealing cap 12, remove the sealing cap 12 to release the seal on the exhaust pipe 11, and the exhaust pipe 11 will discharge carbon dioxide gas inside the connecting shell 3. The interior of the connecting shell 3 is connected to the interior of the silicone sleeve 2 through several vent holes 10, thereby balancing the air pressure inside the silicone sleeve 2 with the external air pressure and releasing the expansion state of the silicone sleeve 2. After the silicone sleeve 2 is released from the expansion state, the base 1 is moved horizontally to remove the silicone plug. Compared with the prior art, there is no need to rotate and pull out the entire silicone plug during disassembly, reducing the labor intensity during disassembly.
