[0002] Flange products are mainly used in GIS and GIB. They are a kind of parts often used in gas-insulated enclosed electrical equipment. Figure 1 As shown, the flange 1 includes a flange 11 and a cylinder 12, both of which are annular structures. The flange 11 and the cylinder 12 are coaxially arranged and are an integrated structure. When the flange product is used, it needs to be sealed and installed on the electrical equipment, wherein the end face of the flange facing away from the cylinder constitutes the disk end sealing surface, and the end face of the cylinder facing away from the flange constitutes the cylinder end sealing surface. Through the disk end sealing surface and the cylinder end sealing surface, the two ends of the flange product form a sealing match with the corresponding adapter to ensure the air tightness of the equipment.
[0003] At present, flange products are usually cast when they are manufactured. After the flange is cast, defects may occur on the sealing surface of the disc end and the sealing surface of the cylinder end. Therefore, it is necessary to perform sealing detection on the sealing surfaces at both ends of the flange product. In the prior art, for the sealing detection of flange workpieces, there is a pipe flange weld air tightness detection device disclosed in the patent document with the authorization announcement number CN110082036B, in which the device body is equivalent to the upper cover, the cover is arranged on the upper end surface of the flange and forms a sealing fit through the sealing ring, and the sealing plug is inserted into the pipe body to seal the pipe body. The inner cavity of the device body and the sealing plug, the flange, the pipe body and the weld form a closed space. The sealing structure between the device body and the flange, and between the sealing plug and the pipe body can ensure the sealing of the closed space. A pipeline interface is provided on the device body, and the pipeline interface is a gas path interface to communicate with the inner cavity of the device body through a gas channel, and the gas pressure in the closed inner cavity is changed through the gas channel. The operator can judge whether the air tightness of the weld meets the standard by detecting whether there is gas flow at the weld or the pressure gauge reading. The device is actually a flange seal detection tool, which is a flange to be tested, fixings for fixing the flange, seals, fluid joints, and detection instruments. These components are assembled together to form a product tooling assembly specifically used for product seal detection.
[0004] However, the above detection device is for testing the air tightness of the weld between the flange and the pipe body, and is not suitable for testing the sealing surfaces at both ends of the flange.

[0040] The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with embodiments.
[0041] Embodiment 1 of the flange seal detection tool of the present invention:
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the flange sealing detection tooling includes an upper cover 2, a base 3 and a plurality of flanges 1 between the upper cover 2 and the base 3. The upper cover 2, the base 3 and the flanges 1 are stacked in the up and down direction and connected together by a connecting rod 4. The upper cover 2, the base 3 and the flanges 1 form a closed inner cavity. A pipeline interface 21 is provided on the upper cover 2 to be connected to a fluid pumping device, so that fluid is filled into the closed inner cavity for sealing detection.
[0043] The flange 1 is divided into two parts along the axial direction, one part is a flange 11, and the other part is a cylinder 12. Both the flange 11 and the cylinder 12 are annular, and the flange 11 and the cylinder 12 are integrally formed and the flange 11 is integrally formed at one end of the cylinder 12. Flange holes 13 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the flange 11. The upper end surface of the flange 11 facing away from the cylinder 12 constitutes a disk end sealing surface, and the lower end surface of the cylinder 12 facing away from the flange 11 constitutes a cylinder end sealing surface. Both the cylinder end sealing surface and the disk end sealing surface are sealing surfaces to be tested.
[0044] The upper cover 2 and the base 3 are both circular plates, and the diameters of the upper cover 2, the base 3 and the flange 11 are consistent. The upper cover 2, the base 3 and the flanges 1 are coaxially arranged. Among the two adjacent flanges 1, the cylinder 12 of the upper flange 1 is supported on the flange 11 of the lower flange 1. An annular upper sealing groove is provided on the lower side of the upper cover 2, and an upper sealing ring 7 is installed in the upper sealing groove. The upper sealing ring 7 constitutes an upper sealing structure, and a seal is formed between the disc end sealing surface of the uppermost flange 1 among the flanges 1 and the upper cover 2 through the upper sealing ring 7. A lower sealing groove is provided on the upper side surface of the base 3, and a lower sealing ring 8 is installed in the lower sealing groove. The lower sealing ring 8 is a flat gasket, and the upper and lower side surfaces of the lower sealing ring 8 are both planes. The lower sealing ring 8 constitutes a lower sealing structure, and a seal is formed between the cylinder end sealing surface of the lowermost flange 1 and the base 3 through the lower sealing ring 8. When the lower sealing ring 8 forms a sealing fit with the lowermost flange 1, the cylinder end sealing surface can be pressed against the wider upper side plane of the lower sealing ring 8, which is conducive to reliable sealing of the cylinder end sealing surface with a smaller area.
[0045] An intermediate sealing ring 9 is provided between two adjacent flanges 1. In the two adjacent flanges 1, a seal is formed between the sealing surface of the barrel end of the upper flange 1 and the sealing surface of the disk end of the lower flange 1 through the intermediate sealing ring 9. The intermediate sealing ring 9 is a step structure, including a large ring segment with a larger outer diameter and a small ring segment with a smaller outer diameter. The intermediate sealing ring 9 overlaps the edge of the upper opening of the inner hole of the flange 11. The large ring segment seals with the sealing surface of the disk end and provides pressure contact with the sealing surface of the barrel end. The small ring segment extends into the inner hole of the flange 11 and contacts the hole wall surface of the inner hole of the flange 11. By setting the intermediate sealing ring 9 as a step structure, when placing the intermediate sealing ring 9, the cooperation between the small diameter segment 1122 and the inner circumference of the flange 11 can be used to position the intermediate sealing ring 9, ensure that the intermediate sealing ring 9 is installed in place, and facilitate operation. In addition, there is no need to set a limit groove for the intermediate sealing ring 9, and the structure is simple. A chamfered structure is provided at the upper hole opening of the inner hole of the flange 11, and the intermediate sealing ring 9 also includes a transition section between the large ring section and the small ring section. The outer peripheral surface of the transition section is an arc surface adapted to the chamfered structure, and the arc surface is adapted to contact with the chamfered part of the hole opening, which is conducive to the close fit between the intermediate sealing ring 9 and the flange 1 to ensure the sealing effect.
[0046] The upper cover 2 and the base 3 are respectively evenly distributed with a plurality of through holes in the circumferential direction, and the number of through holes on the upper cover 2 and the number of through holes on the base 3 are consistent with the number of flange holes 13 on the flange 1 and correspond to each other up and down, wherein a part of the through holes on the upper cover 2 constitutes connecting holes, and another part of the through holes constitutes fixing holes, and of every two adjacent through holes, one is a connecting hole and the other is a fixing hole, a part of the through holes on the base 3 constitutes connecting holes, there are six connecting holes on the upper cover 2, and correspondingly, there are six connecting holes on the base 3, six connecting rods 4 are provided, and the connecting rods 4 are passed through the connecting holes on the upper cover 2, the flange holes 13 of each flange 1, and the connecting holes on the base 3, and the upper end of the connecting rod 4 passing through the upper cover 2 and the lower end passing through the base 3 are both threadedly connected with a fastening nut 5, and the fastening nut 5 constitutes a fastener, and the upper cover 2, the base 3 and each flange 1 are pressed together by screwing the fastening nuts 5 at both ends of the connecting rod 4, and then the upper sealing ring 7, the middle sealing ring 9 and the lower sealing ring 8 are squeezed, and each sealing surface to be tested of the flange 1 is sealed. By installing the connecting rod 4 on each flange 1 , each flange 1 can be limited, which is conducive to ensuring the coaxial placement of each flange 1 .
[0047] The upper cover 2 and the uppermost flange 1 are also connected by fixing bolts 100. The fixing bolts 100 are passed through the fixing holes of the upper cover 2 and the flange holes 13 on the flange 1 that are not equipped with the connecting rods 4. The fixing bolts 100 cooperate with nuts to fix the upper cover 2 and the uppermost flange 1 together, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.
[0048] A spacer tube 6 is provided between the flange plates 11 of two adjacent flanges 1, and the spacer tube 6 is sleeved on the connecting rod 4. The spacer tube 6 is used to limit the distance between the two adjacent flanges 1. Moreover, a spacer tube 6 is also provided between the lowest flange 1 and the base 3, and the spacer tube 6 is sleeved on the connecting rod 4 to limit the distance between the lowest flange 1 and the base 3. By providing the spacer tube 6, when the upper cover 2, the base 3 and each flange 1 are connected together by fasteners, the distance between the two adjacent flanges 1 and the distance between the lowest flange 1 and the base 3 are ensured to prevent the middle sealing ring 9 and the lower sealing ring 8 from being excessively squeezed by the narrower cylinder end sealing surface.
[0049] When in use, after the upper cover 2, the base 3 and each flange 1 are pressed together by the connecting rod 4 and the fastening nut 5, the middle sealing ring 9, the upper sealing ring 7 and the lower sealing ring 8 cooperate to form a seal on the sealing surface to be tested of each flange 1. The upper cover 2, the base 3 and each flange 1 form a closed space through the sealing cooperation. The closed inner cavity is filled with fluid through the pipeline interface 21 on the upper cover 2 for sealing detection. The pipeline interface 21 is connected to the fluid pumping device through the pipeline. Water is first injected into the closed inner cavity to perform a water pressure test first to observe whether there is water leakage to pre-judge the sealing situation. If there is no water leakage, a subsequent air tightness test is performed, and sulfur hexafluoride gas of a certain pressure is filled into the closed inner cavity. The pressure gauge reading on the pipeline or a sulfur hexafluoride gas detector is set to judge whether the gas is leaking. Such a flange sealing detection tool can detect at least two flange products at a time, which improves work efficiency. It is suitable for water pressure test and gas pressure test below 0.5MPa.
