Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pipe leak plugs, and in particular relates to a pipe leak plug that is easy to install with one hand. Background Technology
[0002] Pipeline leaks are a common type of sudden malfunction in industrial equipment maintenance, municipal pipeline emergency repairs, and household pipe repairs. To prevent further waste of resources and safety accidents, it is necessary to quickly seal the leak.
[0003] Traditional pipe sealing devices often use flange connections and clamp-type locking structures to achieve sealing. Existing clamp-type leak sealers usually require two hands to operate, such as one hand to fix one side of the clamp and the other hand to tighten the bolt or insert and remove the lock, which is difficult to operate and affects the installation efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the problems in the prior art by proposing the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model provides a pipe leak stopper that is easy to install with one hand, including:
[0006] Ring hoop one and ring hoop two, both of which have sealing gaskets on their inner sides;
[0007] The first ring and the second ring are hinged together at their close ends. The second ring is provided with a pin at the end away from the hinge end, and the first ring is provided with a pin hole at the end away from the hinge end. The pin is inserted into the pin hole.
[0008] The end of the pin away from the second ring is elastically provided with a stop block. The stop block protrudes from the outer wall of the pin in its natural state, preventing the pin from coming out of the pin hole.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the outer wall of the stop is an inclined guide surface, which gradually tapers inward from the root of the pin toward its end.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the pin is provided with a receiving groove for the stop block to be inserted, and one end of the stop block near the end of the pin is hinged in the receiving groove, and a spring is provided in the receiving groove to connect its inner wall and the stop block.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a retaining ring is provided on a movable locking section outside the pin and located between the first and second ring clamps. The retaining ring is made of flexible material and has a notch.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This utility model features a hinged ring structure and an elastic stop at the end of the pin, which automatically pops out and engages with the outside of the pin hole in its natural state. At the same time, the stop adopts an inclined guide surface design, which can automatically compress into the receiving groove during insertion, realizing a stable connection mechanism of "one-click insertion + automatic locking". This allows users to complete the entire installation process with only one hand, greatly improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0020] Example
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 The diagram shown is a front view of the pipe plugging device in the embodiment; Figure 2 What is shown is Figure 1 Enlarged schematic diagram of the structure at point A in the middle
[0022] This device includes:
[0023] Both ring hoop 10 and ring hoop 20 are provided with sealing gaskets 30 on their inner sides;
[0024] The ends of the first ring 10 and the second ring 20 that are close to each other are hinged together. The end of the second ring 20 away from the hinge end is provided with a pin 40, and the end of the first ring 10 away from the hinge end is provided with a pin hole. The pin 40 is inserted into the pin hole.
[0025] A stop 50 is elastically provided at the end of the pin 40 away from the ring 20. The stop 50 protrudes from the outer wall of the pin 40 in its natural state, preventing the pin 40 from dislodging from the pin hole.
[0026] The first ring 10 and the second ring 20 constitute the main frame of the entire leak-stopping device. A sealing gasket 30 is provided on the inner side to tightly fit the outer wall of the pipe and prevent leakage. One end of the first ring 10 and the second ring 20 is a hinged structure, which allows the first ring 10 and the second ring 20 to be opened and closed. The other end is provided with a pin 40 and a pin hole for quick locking, thereby achieving quick closure and fixation. It can be installed by one hand.
[0027] The sealing gasket 30 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone.
[0028] The pin 40 is provided with a receiving groove 41 for the stop 50 to be inserted. The outer wall of the stop 50 is inclined. A spring 42 is provided in the receiving groove 41 to connect its inner wall and the stop 50.
[0029] The outer wall of the stop 50 is an inclined guide surface. The inclined guide surface gradually tapers inward from the root of the pin 40 toward its end so that the stop 50 can be squeezed and retracted into the receiving groove 41 when the pin 40 is inserted into the pin hole. After the pin 40 is fully inserted, the stop 50 pops out and locks the edge of the pin hole to achieve self-locking.
[0030] Specifically, the end of the stop 50 near the end of the pin 40 is hinged in the receiving groove 41. The stop 50 can rotate around the hinge point, which facilitates a more flexible and smooth compression and ejection action.
[0031] The end of the stop block 50 closest to the end of the pin 40 is the fixed end (hinged point), and the end furthest from the end of the pin 40 is the free end. When the stop block 50 is subjected to external force (such as contact with the edge of the pin hole when inserted), the free end will enter the receiving groove 41. After the pin 40 is in place, the spring 42 pushes the stop block 50 back to its original position, and the free end pops out to achieve self-locking.
[0032] During disassembly, manually press the free end of the stop block 50 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 42, so that the free end of the stop block 50 retracts into the receiving groove 41. Then, the pin 40 can slide freely along the pin hole and be pulled out. After unlocking, open the first ring hoop 10 and the second ring hoop 20 to complete the disassembly.
[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, Figure 2 What is shown is Figure 1 Enlarged schematic diagram of the structure at point A in the middle; Figure 3 The diagram shown is a partial structural schematic of the pipe plug in the embodiment; Figure 4 The diagram shown is a side view of the retaining ring in the embodiment;
[0034] A retaining ring 60 is provided on a movable locking sleeve outside the pin 40 and located between the first ring hoop 10 and the second ring hoop 20. The retaining ring 60 is made of flexible material and has a notch.
[0035] The flexible retaining ring 60 located between the first ring 10 and the second ring 20 serves as a limit, providing reverse resistance to prevent the second ring 20 from shifting. The notch design allows for flexible installation, thereby enhancing the locking effect and providing additional locking security.
[0036] Working principle: When installing this device, open the first ring clamp 10 and the second ring clamp 20 and put them on the pipe to be sealed. Close the first ring clamp 10 and the second ring clamp 20 with one hand, so that the pin 40 is inserted into the pin hole. During this process, the stop block 50 is pressed and retracts into the receiving groove 41 along the inclined surface. After the pin 40 is fully inserted, the stop block 50 pops out under the action of the spring 42, completing the locking. The sealing gasket 30 fits against the outer wall of the pipe to prevent leakage.
[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
