1. An adaptive sealing device for pipeline porous leakage, wherein
multiple pressure protection devices are connected head to tail and arranged around the pipeline, and are used for pressurizing and sealing a pipeline,
each pressure protection device includes an external fixing seat and a pressure plate, and the external fixing seats of two adjacent pressure protection devices are connected with each other to form an external fixing device;
the external fixing seat and the pressure plate is provided with a control mechanism used to control the pressure plate to approach or move away from the pipeline,
the control mechanism includes at least one transverse shaft rod, at least two opposite sliding holes are provided on the external fixing seat, a pressure piston that is matched with the sliding hole is provided in the sliding hole, a rod cavity protruding from the sliding hole is formed between one end of the pressure piston and the sliding hole, and is hinged with one end of the at least one transverse shaft rod, other end of the pressure piston is a rodless cavity, the external fixing seat is provided with a through hole connected with the rodless cavity, and other end of the at least one transverse shaft rod is hinged with the pressure plate;
an anti-retraction mechanism is used to stop the pressure piston and is arranged between the at least one transverse shaft rod and the external fixing seat;
an encircling sealing rubber cover is arranged between the pressure plate a and the pipeline and is used to seal the pipeline, the pressure plate is arranged between the external fixing device and the encircling sealing rubber cover, and a medium is introduced into the rodless cavity through the through hole to drive the pressure piston to move in the sliding hole to push two transverse shaft rods to move relatively to control the pressure plate to approach the pipeline and press the encircling sealing rubber cover on the pipeline to seal the pipeline;
the anti-retraction mechanism includes a one-way pawl, the one-way pawl is hinged on the at least one transverse shaft rod, the external fixing seat is provided with a one-way tooth groove along a displacement direction of the at least one transverse shaft rod, the one-way tooth groove is matched with the one-way pawl, and the one-way pawl is clamped in the one-way tooth groove;
a pressure preloading mechanism is arranged between the external fixing seat and the pressure plate and is used to pressurize and preload the pressure plate, and the pressure preloading mechanism is located between the two relatively moving transverse shaft rods; and
the pressure preloading mechanism includes a pressure rod, one end of the pressure rod is in threaded connection with the external fixing seat, and other end of the pressure rod is abutted on the pressure plate.
