Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline plugging technology, and in particular to a pipeline plugging device for inspection wells. Background Technology
[0002] In municipal engineering projects, especially during the construction of sewage pipelines, it is often necessary to partially block the sewage pipes and pump out the water to facilitate access for construction workers. The traditional method for blocking sewage pipes involves using inflatable sealing bags. However, when the water level in the manhole is high, the excessive water pressure makes sealing difficult, and the sealing bags are easily affected by debris in the pipes, leading to air leakage and other problems, thus rendering them ineffective.
[0003] Publication (Announcement) No. CN207935614U discloses a pipe plugging device, installed at a pipe in an inspection well. It includes: a connector that plugs into the pipe to seal it, and a release component on the connector for releasing the pipe from the seal. The connector is made of metal and includes: a flange with an outer diameter larger than the pipe's inner diameter, and a plug on the flange for plugging into the pipe. A first rubber sealing ring is provided at the internal corner of the plug and the flange. The release component includes: a drain pipe on the connector and a switch valve on the drain pipe. The pipe is sealed by the connector and the first rubber sealing ring through a plug-in connection, offering the advantage of easy installation. The connector is made of metal, making it suitable for use in pipes in different environments. The switch valve and drain pipe facilitate disassembly of the connector. Therefore, this pipe plugging device has the advantages of easy assembly and disassembly, strong adaptability, and good sealing effect.
[0004] While the above solutions are highly adaptable and effective in sealing, the assembly of the sealing device and the operation of draining and depressurizing require the use of the manhole, which is difficult. Therefore, we propose a pipe sealing device for manholes. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a pipe plug for inspection wells. By setting a plugging unit and a pressure relief unit, it solves the problem that the assembly of the plug and the drainage and pressure relief operations need to be carried out inside the inspection well.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a pipe plug for inspection wells, including a processing box and an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the bottom end of the processing box, wherein the inlet pipe is connected to the inspection well, and further including: a plugging unit and a pressure relief unit arranged on the processing box;
[0007] The sealing unit includes a frame-shaped baffle, a hydraulic cylinder, a support arm, a frame-shaped carrier plate, a frame-shaped sealing strip, and a sealing plate. The two frame-shaped baffles are respectively fixedly installed on the inner wall of the middle section and the inner wall of the top section of the processing box, and frame-shaped grooves are opened at both ends of the two frame-shaped baffles. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on one side surface of the processing box. The support arm is in the shape of an inverted "L" and is fixedly installed on the top of the hydraulic cylinder, and the support arm extends into the processing box. The frame-shaped carrier plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support arm and is located between the two frame-shaped baffles. Frame-shaped sealing strips with positions and sizes matching the positions and sizes of the frame-shaped grooves are fixedly installed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the frame-shaped carrier plate. The two sealing plates are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the frame-shaped carrier plate and extend into the bottom of the processing box.
[0008] The pressure relief unit includes a drain horizontal pipe, a valve body, and a control valve stem. The drain horizontal pipe is embedded in the center of the sides of two sealing plates. The valve body is installed on the outer circumference of the middle end of the drain horizontal pipe and is located between the two sealing plates. The control valve stem is installed on the valve body and is located inside the frame-shaped carrier plate.
[0009] Preferably, there are two hydraulic cylinders, which are located on opposite sides of the processing box.
[0010] Preferably, the support arm and the hydraulic cylinder are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0011] Preferably, the control valve stem and the drain horizontal pipe are arranged perpendicular to each other.
[0012] Preferably, the drainage horizontal pipe and the water inlet pipe are arranged parallel to each other.
[0013] Preferably, the frame-shaped baffle, frame-shaped carrier plate, frame-shaped sealing strip, and control valve rod are all located on the same vertical central axis.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the pipe plugging device for inspection wells of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, by setting a sealing unit, after the water inlet pipe is connected to the inspection well, the drainage can be guided into the bottom of the treatment tank. The operation of the hydraulic cylinder on one side of the treatment tank can drive the frame-shaped carrier plate to rise and fall between the two frame-shaped baffles through the support arm in the shape of an inverted "L". When the frame-shaped carrier plate moves down and inserts the frame-shaped sealing strip on its bottom surface into the frame-shaped groove on the frame-shaped baffle below, the two sealing plates symmetrically fixed on the bottom surface of the frame-shaped carrier plate can abut against the bottom surface of the treatment tank to perform the sealing operation. When the frame-shaped carrier plate moves up and inserts the frame-shaped sealing strip on its top surface into the frame-shaped groove on the frame-shaped baffle above, the sealing plates are lifted synchronously, and the water can be discharged through the water outlet pipe without obstruction. The equipment is easy to adjust and assemble the sealing components without going into the water.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, by setting a pressure relief unit, the drainage horizontal pipe embedded in the center of the two sealing plates can be adjusted synchronously with the frame-shaped carrier plate. Before the frame-shaped carrier plate moves up to the sealing plate, the control valve rod can be rotated in the treatment box. The valve body installed on the outer circumference of the middle end of the drainage horizontal pipe and located between the two sealing plates will change the conduction state of the drainage horizontal pipe. Before the sealing plate moves up to restore drainage, the drainage horizontal pipe can be connected first to drain and relieve pressure. The equipment drainage and pressure relief operation is simple and does not require water to be used. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The sealing unit 4 includes a frame baffle 401, a hydraulic cylinder 402, a support arm 403, a frame carrier plate 404, a frame sealing strip 405, and a sealing plate 406.

[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0047] After the inlet pipe 2 is connected to the inspection well, the drainage is directed into the bottom of the treatment tank 1.

When the frame-shaped carrier plate 404 moves up and inserts the frame-shaped sealing strip 405 on its top surface into the groove on the lower frame-shaped baffle 401, the two sealing plates 406 are symmetrically fixed on the bottom surface of the frame-shaped carrier plate 404 to perform a sealing operation. When the frame-shaped groove on the upper frame-shaped baffle 401 is raised, the sealing plate 406 is raised simultaneously, and the water is discharged through the outlet pipe 3 without obstruction. The drainage horizontal pipe 501 is adjusted synchronously with the frame-shaped carrier plate 404. Before the frame-shaped carrier plate 404 is moved up to the sealing plate 406, the control valve rod 503 is rotated in the treatment box 1. The valve body 502, which is installed on the outer circumference of the middle end of the drainage horizontal pipe 501 and is located between the two sealing plates 406, changes the conduction state of the drainage horizontal pipe 501. Before the sealing plate 406 moves up to restore drainage, the drainage horizontal pipe 501 is first opened to drain and depressurize.
