Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sealing equipment technology, and in particular to an active sealing sealing device. Background Technology

[0002] A related technology (publication number: CN207569434U) discloses a hydraulic plugging device for an internal pipeline that does not require interruption of supply, including a plugging head and a plugging head mounting base installed in a plugging manifold. A plugging cylinder is installed at the upper end of the plugging manifold, and the piston rod of the plugging cylinder is connected to the upper part of the plugging head mounting base. The plugging cylinder is connected to a hydraulic power source. A tensioning hydraulic cylinder is installed in the plugging head, and the tensioning piston rod of the tensioning hydraulic cylinder is connected to the plugging head mounting base via a swing shaft. The plugging head includes a plugging head guide body, a sealing cup, and a cup tensioning body. The plugging head guide body is a hemisphere and is fixed to the hydraulic cylinder end cap of the tensioning hydraulic cylinder by bolts. The cup tensioner is an arc-shaped body, and its rear end face is connected to the tensioning piston rod by bolts. The front outer wall of the cup tensioner is a tapered slope that matches the inner slope of the inner wall of the sealing cup and is inserted into the sealing cup. The sealing cup is fixed outside the hydraulic cylinder sleeve of the tensioning hydraulic cylinder by the cup pressure plate and bolts, so that the sealing cup is located between the hydraulic cylinder sleeve and the cup tensioner.

[0003] In the process of implementing the technical solution disclosed herein, at least the following problems were found in the related technologies:

[0004] The hydraulic sealing device inside the shut-off pipeline works by injecting or withdrawing hydraulic oil, causing the sealing cup to expand or retract along the conical inclined surface of the outer wall of the cup's tensioning body. This allows the sealing cup to come into contact with or separate from the interior of the pipeline to be sealed, thus sealing or removing it. However, an external oil supply line is required, resulting in a complex device structure and making it inconvenient to insert the device into the pipeline using a drive arm or similar means.
