[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 The internal expansion sealing plug includes an installation plate 1, a first extrusion plate 2, and a second extrusion plate 7 for extruding a rubber ring 13. A semi-circular handle 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the first extrusion plate 2 away from the installation plate 1 for easy handling of the installation plate 1. A rubber pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handle 6 to improve the grip. The left and right sides of the installation plate 1 are respectively provided with outwardly protruding convex structures, and a rubber ring 13 is fixedly fitted on the outer circumference of each convex structure for sealing the inner wall of the pipe. The interior of the rubber ring 13 is hollow to facilitate deformation. The first extrusion plate 2 and the second extrusion plate 7 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the installation plate 1, and a groove matching the convex structure is opened on the side facing the installation plate 1. The convex structures on both sides of the installation plate 1 slide into the grooves of the first extrusion plate 2 and the second extrusion plate 7 respectively.

[0023] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 1 has multiple annularly distributed sliding holes on both sides facing the groove. The sliding holes are arranged horizontally, and a guide rod 5 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of the sliding hole to guide the movement of the first extrusion plate 2 and the second extrusion plate 7. One end of the guide rod 5 passes through the sliding hole and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. A fixing ring 12 is fixedly sleeved on the guide rod 5 to support the guide rod 5. One side of the fixing ring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. A first locking screw 3 is inserted horizontally on the side of the first extrusion plate 2 away from the mounting plate 1 to drive the first extrusion plate 2 to move. One end of the first locking screw 3 passes through the first extrusion plate 2 and is inserted into the mounting plate 1. The first locking screw 3 and the mounting plate 1 are connected by threads, and the first locking screw 3 and the first extrusion plate 2 are connected by rotation. An anti-loosening washer 4 is sleeved on the first locking screw 3 to prevent the first locking screw 3 from loosening. One side of the anti-loosening washer 4 abuts against the outer wall of the first extrusion plate 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, a second locking screw 10 is horizontally inserted on the side of the second extrusion plate 7 away from the mounting plate 1 to prevent the second extrusion plate 7 from loosening. A sealing washer 11 is fitted on the second locking screw 10 to improve the sealing performance. One side of the sealing washer 11 abuts against the outer wall of the second extrusion plate 7. One end of the second locking screw 10 passes through the second extrusion plate 7 and is fitted with a slider 8 to connect the second locking screw 10. The slider 8 and the second locking screw 10 are connected by threads.

[0025] In this embodiment, both sides of the slider 8 are provided with arc-shaped grooves, and the inner sidewall of the arc-shaped groove is connected with rolling balls to reduce the resistance when the slider 8 slides. Part of the rolling balls penetrates through the arc-shaped groove. The mounting plate 1 is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the slider 8 on the side facing the second extrusion plate 7. One end of the slider 8 slides into the sliding groove and is fixedly connected with a spring 9 to prevent the slider 8 from completely detaching from the sliding groove. The end of the spring 9 away from the slider 8 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the sliding groove.

[0026] In this embodiment, firstly, the mounting plate 1 is installed inside the pipe. Then, the first locking screw 3 is rotated using a wrench, screwdriver, or manually. Through the threaded engagement mechanism, the first locking screw 3 drives the first compression plate 2 to move closer to the mounting plate 1, thereby compressing the rubber ring 13. Thanks to the hollow design of the rubber ring 13, it deforms under pressure and fits tightly against the inner wall of the pipe, achieving pipe sealing. During the pressure test, water pressure acts on the second compression plate 7, generating axial thrust, which drives the second compression plate 7 (which is movably connected to the mounting plate 1 through the spring 9, slider 8, and second locking screw 10, so it can slide under external force) to slide towards the mounting plate 1. This sliding action causes the second compression plate 7 to compress the rubber ring 13, making it fit tightly against the inner wall of the pipe. This self-locking effect not only enhances the sealing effect of the pipe but also significantly improves the overall reliability and safety.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
