Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an air-filled sealing device for the socket end of a cast iron pipe spray coating, specifically an air-filled sealing device for the socket end of a cast iron pipe spray coating that can be used in robotic arm operations. Background Technology

[0002] The "Assembled Inflatable Sealing Device for Cast Pipe Sockets" (application number: 202520079792.X) applied for by our company includes a left annular cap, a middle support ring, and a right annular pressure ring. It also includes an annular rubber diaphragm with an approximately G-shaped cross-section. The left side of the G-shaped annular rubber diaphragm is sealed between the right end face of the left annular cap and the left end face of the middle support ring. The right inner side of the G-shaped annular rubber diaphragm is sealed between the right inner wall of the middle support ring and the outer wall of the right annular pressure ring. In its natural state, the G-shaped... The inflatable part of the G-shaped annular rubber diaphragm is attached to the outer wall of the middle support ring; the left annular cap, the middle support ring and the right annular cap are connected and fastened by circumferentially spaced connecting bolts; the left annular cap and the middle support ring have interconnected sealed air intake channels inside, the air intake port of the left annular cap is equipped with a valve, and the exhaust port of the sealed air intake channel inside the middle support ring is located on the outer wall of the middle support ring. When inflated through the valve, the inflatable part of the G-shaped annular rubber diaphragm can expand outward.

[0003] The aforementioned assembled air-filled sealing device for cast iron pipe sockets has a modular structure, which offers the advantage of easy replacement and low maintenance costs when one component is damaged. However, it also has the following drawbacks: the overall structure includes a left annular cap, a middle support ring, a right annular cap, and a G-shaped annular rubber diaphragm. This results in a relatively large number of components, more processing steps, and a more complex assembly process. Furthermore, since the G-shaped annular rubber diaphragm is press-fitted between the left and right annular caps and the middle support ring, there is a risk of air leakage after the diaphragm expands. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a gas-filled sealing device for the spigot end of a cast pipe that is not prone to leakage after expansion, has a relatively simple structure, and is easy to assemble, and can be used for robotic arm operations.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an air-filled sealing device for the spout end of a cast pipe used in robotic arm operations. The device includes a fixedly connected support ring and a sealing ring. The support ring has a support ring opening, and the sealing ring has an inner sealing main ring and an outer air-filled expansion ring. A ring-shaped molded skeleton is provided between the sealing main ring and the air-filled expansion ring. The two ends of the air-filled expansion ring are vulcanized to the two ends of the sealing main ring. A connected, sealed air inlet channel is provided inside the support ring and the air inlet is provided on the molded skeleton. A valve is installed on the air inlet, allowing the air-filled expansion ring to expand outwards when inflated through the valve.

[0006] As an improvement of this utility model, an annular baffle is fixed on the inner circumference of the sealing main ring on the side away from the support ring.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, an annular support frame is also provided on the inner side of the sealing main ring, and the inner circumferential surface of the sealing main ring and the outer circumferential surface of the support frame are glued together.

[0008] Furthermore, the support ring and the sealing main ring are fastened together by circumferentially distributed bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner circumferential surface of the annular molded skeleton is bonded to the outer circumferential surface of the sealing body ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealed air intake channel is equipped with sealing plugs on both the outer ring surface of the support ring and the inner ring surface of the sealing body ring.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The utility model is composed of two parts: a support ring and a sealing ring. The structure is simpler and the assembly is more convenient. The two ends of the inflation ring and the two ends of the sealing main ring are vulcanized together, so the inflation ring is less prone to leakage after expansion. 2. After the sealing main ring is fixed with an annular baffle on the inner circumference away from the support ring, the coating fluid can be blocked at the front end of the utility model during spraying, avoiding the loss and waste of the coating fluid. 3. The inner circumferential surface of the annular molded skeleton and the outer circumferential surface of the sealing main ring are glued together. When inflated, gas will not enter the interface between the molded skeleton and the sealing main ring, enhancing the stability of the product. 4. The annular support skeleton is also provided on the inner side of the sealing main ring, which can further improve the support strength of the sealing ring in this utility model.

An air inlet 7 is located on the support ring, and an air inlet 8 is located on the molded skeleton 23. A valve 9 is installed on the air inlet. When air is inflated through the valve, the air-filled expansion ring 22 expands outwards. An annular baffle 24 is fixed on the inner circumference of the sealing main ring 21 on the side away from the support ring 10. An annular support frame 25 is also provided on the inner side of the sealing main ring 21. The inner circumferential surface of the sealing main ring is glued to the outer circumferential surface of the support frame. The support frame can be a metal support frame, a plastic support frame, or a support frame made of other rigid materials. The support ring 10 and the sealing main ring 21 are fastened together by circumferentially distributed bolts 30. The inner circumferential surface of the annular molded frame 23 is glued to the outer circumferential surface of the sealing main ring 21.

Figure 4 After the inflation ring is inflated Figure 3 In the diagram, number 1 represents the socket end of the cast pipe, and number 2 represents the cement coating with cement as the lining fluid.

[0019] When using this invention to seal the end of a cast iron pipe socket, first push the invention into the socket of the cast iron pipe, ensuring the end face of the sealing main ring abuts against the end face of the socket. Then, pressurized air is introduced through the valve. The inflation ring expands outwards, sealing the end of the socket. At this time, a lining fluid is introduced into the cast iron pipe. Under the condition that the cast iron pipe rotates at high speed along its axis, a lining layer of a certain thickness can be formed on the inner wall of the cast iron pipe. This invention's structure can be adapted for robotic arm installation. During installation, the robotic arm is inserted into the support ring opening of the support ring to hold the invention, and then the invention is pushed into the socket of the cast iron pipe, ensuring the end face of the sealing main ring abuts against the end face of the socket. Installation is convenient, replaces manual labor, and improves installation efficiency.
