Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline repair technology, and in particular to a trenchless pipeline partial repair device. Background Technology

[0002] Trenchless pipeline repair devices are used to repair localized damage, leaks, corrosion, and other defects in underground pipelines without excavating the ground. They utilize equipment such as airbag expanders and patch installers, minimizing the impact on surface traffic, the environment, and surrounding facilities. This technology is a key piece of equipment in the field of underground pipeline repair.

[0003] Existing trenchless pipeline repair devices have the following shortcomings in use: Currently, airbag expanders mainly rely on rollers at both ends to insert the expander into the pipeline, and then inflate it to make it fit tightly against the inner wall of the pipeline, thus compacting the repair material onto the inner wall of the pipeline to complete the repair and curing. However, these rollers are usually fixedly installed at both ends of the airbag expander. Since the inner diameter of different pipelines varies, the fixed rollers cannot be adaptively adjusted according to the inner diameter of the pipeline. This not only limits the applicability of the equipment, but also increases costs due to the need to equip special equipment for different pipe diameters.

[0004] Therefore, a trenchless pipeline repair device is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the trenchless pipeline repair device of this utility model, the side wall of the adjusting member is provided with multiple sets of fixing holes, the fixing member passes through both sides of the adjusting seat and is inserted into the inside of the fixing holes.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the trenchless pipeline repair device of this utility model, the end of the fixing member is fixedly connected to a connecting member, and the connecting member is slidably connected inside the adjusting seat.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the trenchless pipeline repair device of this utility model, the side wall of the adjusting seat is threadedly connected to a lead screw, and the end of the lead screw is connected to a movable rod.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the trenchless pipeline repair device of this utility model, a side plate is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the movable rod, and the movable rod and the side plate are slidably connected inside the adjusting seat.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the trenchless pipeline repair device of this utility model, the side plates and the side walls of the connectors are all fixedly connected with hinges, and the hinges are rotatably connected with movable parts.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting an adjustment component between the airbag dilator and the rollers, the adjustment component can be slid on the adjustment seat by moving the fixing part on the adjustment component. This makes it easy to adjust the position of multiple sets of rollers on the airbag dilator according to the size of the pipe, so that the distance between them and the inner wall of the pipe is appropriate, thus improving its applicability.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a trenchless pipeline repair device that can adjust the position of the rollers 101 on the airbag expander 100 according to the size of the pipeline. It includes an airbag expander 100 and rollers 101 disposed at both ends of the airbag expander 100.

[0031] Adjustment assembly 200 is disposed between airbag inflator 100 and roller 101. Adjustment assembly 200 includes adjustment member 201, adjustment seat 203 and fixing member 204.

[0032] The adjusting member 201 and the adjusting seat 203 are disposed between the airbag inflator 100 and the roller 101 for moving the roller 101, and the fixing member 204 is inserted into the side wall of the adjusting member 201 for fixing the roller 101.

[0033] In use, by moving the fixing part 204, the adjusting part 201 can be slid on the adjusting seat 203, which makes it easy to adjust the position of the roller 101 on the airbag dilator 100 according to the size of the pipe, thus improving its applicability.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the adjusting member 201 is rotatably connected to both sides of the roller 101, and the bottom of the adjusting member 201 is fixedly connected to the slider 202. The end of the airbag dilator 100 is provided with a groove 202a, and the slider 202 is slidably connected inside the groove 202a. By slidably connecting the slider 202 inside the groove 202a, the stability of the adjusting member 201 during sliding adjustment is improved.

[0036] Multiple sets of adjustment seats 203 are fixedly connected to both ends of the airbag inflator 100 and are symmetrically distributed, while adjustment components 201 are distributed on both sides of the adjustment seats 203.

[0037] The adjusting member 201 has multiple sets of fixing holes 204a on its side wall. The fixing member 204 passes through both sides of the adjusting seat 203 and is inserted into the fixing holes 204a. The end of the fixing member 204 is fixedly connected to the connecting member 205. The connecting member 205 is slidably connected to the inside of the adjusting seat 203. By rotating the lead screw 207 inward, the movable rod 206 can be driven to slide inward. At this time, the movable rod 206 will drive multiple sets of movable members 209 to move. At the same time, the movable members 209 can push the two sets of connecting members 205 to move to both sides. At this time, the fixing member 204 on the connecting member 205 will be inserted into the fixing hole 204a to fix the roller 101.

[0038] The adjusting seat 203 is threadedly connected to a lead screw 207 on its side wall. The end of the lead screw 207 is connected to a movable rod 206. A side plate 206a is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the movable rod 206. The movable rod 206 and the side plate 206a are slidably connected inside the adjusting seat 203.

[0039] The side plate 206a and the side wall of the connector 205 are both fixedly connected with hinges 208. The hinges 208 are rotatably connected with movable parts 209. By rotating the screw 207 outward, the movable rod 206 can be driven to slide inward and outward. The movable rod 206 will drive multiple sets of movable parts 209 to move. At the same time, the movable parts 209 can drive two sets of connectors 205 to move towards each other and drive the fixed part 204 to retract inside the adjusting seat 203, so that the position of the adjusting roller 101 can be moved.

[0040] In use, by first rotating the lead screw 207 outward, the movable rod 206 can be driven to slide inward and outward. The movable rod 206 will drive multiple sets of movable parts 209 to move. At the same time, the movable parts 209 can drive two sets of connecting parts 205 to move towards each other, and drive the fixed part 204 to retract inside the adjusting seat 203. The position of the roller 101 can be adjusted according to the size of the pipe until the distance between the multiple sets of rollers 101 and the inner wall of the pipe is appropriate.

[0041] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any actual implementation method, and in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those of ordinary skill in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0042] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
