[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 A temporary gas pipe sealing mechanism includes a plug, a sealing cap 1, a limiting ring, an internal thread nut 8, and a gas pipe 10, wherein: the plug is inserted and installed inside one end of the gas pipe 10, the limiting ring is sleeved in one of the pipe grooves 11 outside the gas pipe 10, and the internal thread nut 8 is sleeved on the outside of the gas pipe 10 and threadedly connected to the plug.
[0027] Specifically, the plug includes a sealing cap 1 and a sealing core. The sealing core is coaxially fixed inside the opening of the sealing cap 1. The sealing core is inserted and inserted into the inside of one end of the gas pipe 10 and is in close contact with the inner surface of the gas pipe 10. The limiting ring is in contact with the sealing cap 1. With this structure, one end of the gas pipe 10 can be double-sealed from the inside to the outside.
[0028] Specifically, the sealing cap 1 is fitted onto the outside of one end of the gas pipe 10 and is in close contact with the outer surface of the gas pipe 10;
[0029] Specifically, the sealing cap 1 is made of elastic plastic material, which has both support and a certain degree of toughness;
[0030] Specifically, one end of the internal thread nut 8 is provided with a constriction 9;
[0031] Specifically, the inner diameter of the constriction 9 is smaller than the diameter of the sealing ring 5, and the inner diameter of the constriction 9 corresponds to the diameter of the gas pipe 10. Through the setting of the constriction 9 and the structure, after the internal thread nut 8 is sleeved on the gas pipe 10, the sealing ring 5 can block and limit the internal thread nut 8, preventing the internal thread nut 8 from falling off the gas pipe 10.
[0032] If the gas pipe 10 is a 1 / 4-point pipe, the inner diameter of the constriction 9 is the same as the diameter of the gas pipe 10.
[0033] Specifically, the outer surface of the sealing cap 1 is provided with an external thread sleeve 4 corresponding to the internal thread nut 8, and the sealing cap 1 is internally connected to the internal thread nut 8 through the external thread sleeve 4;
[0034] The external threaded sleeve 4 is made of metal to better connect with the internal threaded nut 8 and ensure their strength.
[0035] Specifically, the inner surface of the sealing cap 1 is provided with several sealing rings 5 corresponding to the pipe grooves 11 on the outer surface of the gas pipe 10. The sealing rings 5 are stuck in the corresponding pipe grooves 11. The sealing rings 5 are made of rubber so as to form a third sealing structure between the sealing rings 5 and the pipe grooves 11.
[0036] Specifically, the sealing core includes a sealing column 2 and a telescopic airbag 3. One end of the sealing column 2 is fixedly installed inside the opening of the sealing cap 1, and the other end of the sealing column 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic airbag 3. The diameter of the sealing column 2 is the same as the inner diameter of the gas pipe 10. The diameter of the telescopic airbag 3 in its natural state is smaller than the diameter of the sealing column 2, and the diameter of the telescopic airbag 3 in its contracted state is larger than the diameter of the sealing column 2. The sealing column 2 and the telescopic airbag 3 are inserted into one end of the gas pipe 10.
[0037] With this structure, when the gas pipe 10 is inserted, the sealing column 2 is in close contact with the inner surface of the gas pipe 10, and the telescopic airbag 3 will not come into contact with the gas pipe 10, thus avoiding wear of the telescopic airbag 3 and improving the sealing ability and service life of the telescopic airbag 3.
[0038] Specifically, the limiting ring includes a semi-circular metal piece 6 and a semi-circular metal piece 7. The semi-circular metal piece 6 and the semi-circular metal piece 7 are detachably connected. The semi-circular metal piece 6 and the semi-circular metal piece 7 are locked in one of the tube grooves 11 so as to be disassembled from the tube groove 11.
[0039] In this embodiment, when in use, first put the internal thread nut 8 on the outside of the gas pipe 10, then insert the sealing core into the inside of the end of the gas pipe 10 that needs to be sealed, and put the sealing cap 1 on the outside of the gas pipe 10. Then, put the semi-circular metal piece 1 6 and the semi-circular metal piece 2 7 into the pipe groove 11 near the end of the sealing cap 1, and then rotate the internal thread nut 8 clockwise to make the internal thread nut 8 and the external thread sleeve 4 tightly connected together.
[0040] In this way, the sealing column 2 forms the first seal on the interior of one end of the gas pipe 10;
[0041] The sealing cap 1 forms a second seal on the outside of the gas pipe 10;
[0042] A third sealing structure is formed in the groove 11 of the tube clamping ring 5;
[0043] When there is pressure inside the gas pipe 10, the pressure will act on the telescopic air bag 3, forcing the telescopic air bag 3 to contract. The telescopic air bag 3 contracts and its diameter increases, making it in close contact with the inner wall of the gas pipe 10, forming a fourth seal.
[0044] Finally, the inner thread nut 8 and the outer thread sleeve 4 form the fifth seal.
[0045] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
