TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of calibration equipment, in particular, relates to a pressure gauge calibration device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pressure gauge calibration is a key link to ensure its measurement accuracy and reliability, widely used in industrial production, equipment maintenance and safety monitoring field.

[0003] The existing pressure gauge calibration equipment includes a base and a pressure regulating cylinder horizontally arranged on the base, a piston is arranged in the pressure regulating cylinder, the piston is sealingly connected by sliding along the length direction of the pressure regulating cylinder, a first screw rod is arranged in the pressure regulating cylinder, one end of the first screw rod is rotationally connected with one side of the piston, the other end of the first screw rod extends out of the pressure regulating cylinder along the length direction of the pressure regulating cylinder, the first screw rod is connected with the pressure regulating cylinder through thread cooperation, two pressure output ports are respectively communicated with the end of the pressure regulating cylinder away from the first screw rod, the two pressure output ports are respectively used for installing a standard gauge and a gauge to be tested, a pressure stabilizing valve is arranged at the end of the pressure regulating cylinder away from the first screw rod, the pressure stabilizing valve is used for isolating the two pressure output ports from the pressure regulating cylinder to maintain the pressure of the two pressure output ports, and a pressure relief valve is arranged at the end of the pressure regulating cylinder away from the first screw rod.

[0004] The above-mentioned pressure gauge calibration equipment has the following defects:

[0005] ① Before testing, the pressure stabilizing valve and the pressure relief valve need to be opened, so that the standard gauge and the gauge to be tested are reset to zero, and then the first screw rod is rotated to move the piston to the end of the pressure regulating cylinder (when measuring positive pressure, the piston moves to the end of the pressure regulating cylinder away from the pressure stabilizing valve, when measuring negative pressure, the piston moves to the end of the pressure regulating cylinder close to the pressure stabilizing valve), since the piston needs to be located at the end of the pressure regulating cylinder by rotating the first screw rod before each operation, the operation is relatively inconvenient.

[0006] ② When measuring negative pressure, after the piston moves to the end of the pressure regulating cylinder close to the pressure stabilizing valve, the pressure relief valve is closed, the first screw rod is rotated to make the piston slide in the pressure regulating cylinder away from the pressure stabilizing valve, when the piston moves to the end of the pressure regulating cylinder away from the pressure stabilizing valve and the negative pressure measurement is not completed and needs to continue negative pressure operation, the pressure stabilizing valve needs to be closed, the pressure relief valve needs to be opened, the first screw rod needs to be rotated to make the piston return to the end of the pressure regulating cylinder close to the pressure stabilizing valve, then the pressure relief valve needs to be closed again, the pressure stabilizing valve needs to be opened, the first screw rod needs to be rotated again to make the piston move away from the pressure stabilizing valve, and the negative pressure measurement needs to be continued, and the operation is repeated until the negative pressure reaches the end value of the gauge to be tested, so the operation increases the complexity of the calibration process and the workload of the workers. SUMMARY

[0007] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a pressure gauge calibration device to solve the technical problem of complicated testing operation of the existing equipment.

[0008] To achieve the aforementioned technical purposes, the technical scheme adopted by the present application comprises: a pressure gauge calibration device, comprising a base and a pressure regulating cylinder arranged on the base, a piston being arranged in sliding sealing cooperation in the pressure regulating cylinder, a driving assembly being arranged on the pressure regulating cylinder for driving the piston to slide back and forth in the pressure regulating cylinder, a gas compression space and a gas expansion space being formed in the pressure regulating cylinder when the piston moves in the pressure regulating cylinder, an installation portion being arranged on the base, the installation portion being a hollow structure and being used for installing a standard gauge and a gauge to be tested, a pressure relief valve being arranged on the installation portion;

[0009] The pressure regulating cylinder is provided with a pressurizing assembly, a depressurizing assembly and an adjusting assembly for switching between pressurizing and depressurizing states, through the adjusting assembly, the pressure regulating cylinder and the installation portion and the pressure regulating cylinder and the external space are both communicated through the pressurizing assembly to form a pressurizing state, in the pressurizing state, the back and forth movement of the piston in the pressure regulating cylinder can press the gas in the gas compression space into the installation portion to increase the internal pressure of the installation portion, and at the same time, external gas can be sucked into the gas expansion space;

[0010] Through the adjusting assembly, the pressure regulating cylinder and the installation portion and the pressure regulating cylinder and the external space are both communicated through the depressurizing assembly to form a depressurizing state, in the depressurizing state, the back and forth movement of the piston in the pressure regulating cylinder can suck the gas in the installation portion into the gas expansion space to reduce the internal pressure of the installation portion, and at the same time, the gas in the gas compression space can be discharged.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0012] (1) The pressure gauge calibration device provided by the present application continuously drives the piston by means of the driving assembly, so that the piston performs reciprocating sliding movement in the pressure regulating cylinder. Based on this working principle, the installation portion can be continuously pressurized in theory, and the pressure in the installation portion is continuously increased. As a result, the gauge to be tested can adapt to a larger measurement range, and has stronger applicability.

[0013] (2) The pressure gauge calibration device provided by the present application can continuously pressurize by reciprocating the piston through the driving assembly, which is simpler than the prior art which only moves the piston in one direction to increase the internal pressure, and after the piston reaches the end, a series of cumbersome operations need to be performed, i.e. closing the pressure stabilizing valve, opening the pressure relief valve, moving the piston back to the end away from the pressure stabilizing valve, closing the pressure relief valve and moving the piston towards the pressure stabilizing valve again to continue pressurizing.

[0014] (3) The pressure gauge calibration device provided by the application can realize continuous pressure reduction of the installation part in theory by driving the piston to continuously reciprocate and slide in the pressure regulating cylinder.

[0015] (4) The pressure gauge calibration device provided by the application can realize pressure regulation by driving the piston to reciprocate in two directions through the driving assembly, which is different from the traditional device that relies on one-way piston movement to realize pressure regulation (i.e., the piston moves away from the pressure stabilizing valve to reduce the pressure, and when the piston moves to the limit position of the pressure regulating cylinder, the pressure stabilizing valve needs to be closed, the pressure relief valve needs to be opened, the piston needs to be reset in the opposite direction, and the pressure reduction process needs to be started again), which not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the continuity of pressure regulation.

[0016] (5) The pressure gauge calibration device provided by the application breaks through the limitation that the traditional device needs to be pre-positioned before detection (when measuring positive pressure, the piston needs to be moved to the end of the pressure regulating cylinder away from the pressure stabilizing valve, and when measuring negative pressure, the piston needs to be moved to the end of the pressure regulating cylinder close to the pressure stabilizing valve). Since the piston can realize pressure regulation by reciprocating in two directions at any position in the pressure regulating cylinder, when the piston reaches the end of the pressure regulating cylinder, the piston only needs to be driven in the opposite direction to restore the pressure regulation ability, without the need for an additional reset step. This "position-independent" regulation mechanism significantly improves the operation convenience of the device.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The present application provides a technical solution: a pressure gauge calibration device, as shown in Figure 1 , comprising a base 1 and a pressure regulating cylinder 2, the pressure regulating cylinder 2 is fixed on the base 1 along the horizontal direction, as shown in Figure 2 , the inside of the pressure regulating cylinder 2 is configured with a sliding sealing piston 3, the pressure regulating cylinder 2 is provided with a driving assembly for driving the piston 3 to slide back and forth inside the pressure regulating cylinder 2, when the piston 3 moves inside the pressure regulating cylinder 2, a gas compression space and a gas expansion space are formed in the pressure regulating cylinder 2. Specifically, when the piston 3 moves to the left, the space on the left side of the piston 3 in the pressure regulating cylinder 2 forms a gas compression space, and the space on the right side of the piston 3 constitutes a gas expansion space; on the contrary, when the piston 3 moves to the right, the space on the right side of the piston 3 in the pressure regulating cylinder 2 becomes a gas compression space, and the space on the left side of the piston 3 becomes a gas expansion space.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, a mounting section 4 is provided on the base 1. The mounting section 4 is a hollow structure used to mount the standard gauge 5 and the gauge 6 to be tested. The standard gauge 5 and the gauge 6 to be tested are connected to the mounting section 4 in parallel, and both are under the same pressure. During the calibration process, by comparing the difference in their readings, it can be determined whether the measurement error of the gauge 6 to be tested is within the allowable range. If the reading error of the gauge 6 to be tested exceeds the preset threshold, the pointer of the gauge 6 to be tested can be manually adjusted to align its reading with that of the standard gauge 5, thereby completing the calibration.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the pressure regulating cylinder 2 is equipped with a pressurizing component, a depressurizing component, and an adjusting component. The adjusting component, as the core control unit, can switch between pressurizing / depressurizing modes and correspondingly change the pressure path. When the adjusting component switches the device to pressurizing mode, the pressure regulating cylinder 2 establishes a dual gas path connection with the mounting part 4 and the external space through the pressurizing component: On one hand, the gas compression space inside the pressure regulating cylinder 2 (i.e., the sealed cavity on the front side of the piston 3's movement direction) is connected to the inner cavity of the mounting part 4. When the piston 3 is pushed forward by the driving component, the gas in the gas compression space is forced into the mounting part 4, driving the pressure in the chambers containing the gauge under test 6 and the standard gauge 5 to rise. Simultaneously, the gas expansion space (the cavity on the rear side of the piston 3's movement direction) is connected to the external atmospheric environment. When the piston 3 moves backward, a negative pressure is formed, and external air is drawn into the gas expansion space, achieving gas replenishment.

[0042] Specifically, when piston 3 moves to the left, the space to the left of piston 3 inside pressure regulating cylinder 2 is compressed, forming a gas compression space. The pressure inside this space increases, forcing the gas in the gas compression space into mounting part 4, thus increasing the gas pressure inside mounting part 4. Simultaneously, the space to the right of piston 3 inside pressure regulating cylinder 2 expands, forming a gas expansion space, and its internal pressure decreases. At this time, external gas can be drawn into the gas expansion space inside pressure regulating cylinder 2 through the adjusting assembly. It should be noted that during this process, the gas flow direction is unidirectional and definite; that is, the gas in the gas compression space can only flow into mounting part 4, and external gas can only flow into the gas expansion space.

[0043] Similarly, when piston 3 moves to the right, the space to the right of piston 3 in pressure regulating cylinder 2 is compressed, forming a new gas compression space (as the direction of piston 3 changes, the position of the gas compression space relative to piston 3 also changes), and its internal pressure increases, thereby forcing the gas in the gas compression space into the mounting part 4, further increasing the gas pressure in the mounting part 4. At the same time, the space to the left of piston 3 in pressure regulating cylinder 2 is expanded, forming a new gas expansion space (similarly, as the direction of piston 3 changes, the position of the gas expansion space relative to piston 3 also changes), and its internal pressure decreases. At this time, external gas can be drawn into the gas expansion space in pressure regulating cylinder 2 by adjusting the assembly. Similarly, the gas flow direction remains unidirectional and definite, that is, the gas in the gas compression space can only flow into the mounting part 4, and the external gas can only flow into the gas expansion space. In this way, it can be ensured that the gas in the mounting part 4 will not overflow, thereby maintaining its internal pressure stability.

[0044] The piston 3 is continuously driven by a drive assembly, causing it to reciprocate within the pressure regulating cylinder 2. Based on this working principle, it is theoretically possible to continuously pressurize the mounting section 4, thereby causing the pressure within the mounting section 4 to continuously increase. Thanks to this, the gauge 6 can accommodate a larger measurement range, thus possessing greater applicability.

[0045] Compared to existing equipment that can only increase internal pressure by moving the piston in one direction, and requires a series of cumbersome operations after the piston reaches the end—namely, closing the pressure regulating valve, opening the pressure relief valve, moving the piston back to the end away from the pressure regulating valve, closing the pressure relief valve again, and moving the piston back towards the pressure regulating valve to continue pressurizing—this solution can achieve continuous pressurization by driving the piston 3 to reciprocate through the drive assembly, significantly simplifying the operation process.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, by adjusting the assembly, the pressure regulating cylinder 2 and the mounting part 4 are connected by the pressure reducing assembly to form a pressure reducing state. In the pressure reducing state, the piston 3 moves back and forth in the pressure regulating cylinder 2 to draw the gas in the mounting part 4 into the gas expansion space to reduce the internal pressure of the mounting part 4, and at the same time, it can discharge the gas in the gas compression space.

[0047] Specifically, when the piston 3 moves to the left, the space on the right side of the piston 3 in the pressure regulating cylinder 2 expands to form a gas expansion space. At this time, the internal pressure of the space decreases, and the gas in the mounting part 4 is directed to be sucked into the gas expansion space under the action of the adjusting assembly, so that the gas pressure in the mounting part 4 decreases correspondingly. At the same time, the space on the left side of the piston 3 in the pressure regulating cylinder 2 is compressed due to the movement of the piston 3 to form a gas compression space, and the internal pressure of the gas compression space increases to drive the gas in the gas compression space to be directed to be discharged to the outside. It needs to be particularly emphasized that during the movement of the piston 3 to the left, the gas flow direction has strict unidirectionality, that is, the gas in the mounting part 4 only flows to the gas expansion space, the gas in the gas compression space only flows to the outside, and the external gas cannot flow into the mounting part 4.

[0048] Similarly, when the piston 3 moves to the right, the space on the left side of the piston 3 in the pressure regulating cylinder 2 expands to form a gas expansion space, and the internal pressure decreases. Under the guidance of the adjusting assembly, the gas in the mounting part 4 is again directed to be sucked into the gas expansion space, so that the pressure in the mounting part 4 further decreases. At the same time, the space on the right side of the piston 3 in the pressure regulating cylinder 2 is compressed to form a gas compression space, and the internal pressure of the gas compression space increases to drive the gas in the gas compression space to be directed to be discharged. During this process, the unidirectionality of the gas flow direction is still strictly maintained: the gas in the mounting part 4 only unidirectionally flows into the gas expansion space, the gas in the gas compression space only unidirectionally flows to the outside, and the external gas cannot enter the mounting part 4, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the internal pressure environment of the mounting part 4.

[0049] Through the continuous reciprocating driving of the piston 3 by the driving assembly, the piston 3 periodically slides in the pressure regulating cylinder 2, which can theoretically realize continuous decompression of the mounting part 4. During this process, the pressure in the mounting part 4 will decrease with the continuous movement of the piston 3, thereby widening the measurement range of the pressure gauge to be tested and enhancing the adaptability of the equipment to the calibration of pressure gauges of different ranges.

[0050] In addition, compared with the traditional equipment which relies on the unidirectional movement of the piston to realize pressure regulation (that is, the piston moves away from the pressure stabilizing valve to reduce the pressure, and when the piston moves to the limit position of the pressure regulating cylinder, a complex operation of closing the pressure stabilizing valve, opening the pressure relief valve, reversing the piston and starting the decompression process again is required), the present application can maintain the pressure decrease through the bidirectional reciprocating movement of the piston driven by the driving assembly, which not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the continuity of pressure regulation.

[0051] In addition, the conventional device needs to preset the piston before the test (when measuring the positive pressure, the piston needs to be moved to the far end of the pressure regulating cylinder away from the pressure stabilizing valve, and when measuring the negative pressure, the piston needs to be moved to the end close to the pressure stabilizing valve), and the technical scheme of the present application breaks through this limitation. Since the piston 3 can realize pressure regulation through bidirectional movement at any position in the pressure regulating cylinder 2, when the piston 3 reaches the end of the pressure regulating cylinder 2, it only needs to drive the piston 3 in the opposite direction to restore the pressure regulation ability, without the need for an additional reset step. This "position-independent" regulation mechanism significantly improves the operation convenience of the device.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 In the present embodiment, the pressurizing assembly includes a first pressurizing pipe 8, a second pressurizing pipe 9, a third pressurizing pipe 10, and a fourth pressurizing pipe 11. One end of the first pressurizing pipe 8 and the second pressurizing pipe 9 respectively communicates with the two ends of the pressure regulating cylinder 2, and the first pressurizing pipe 8 is located at the left end of the pressure regulating cylinder 2, and the second pressurizing pipe 9 is located at the right end of the pressure regulating cylinder 2. The other end of the first pressurizing pipe 8 and the second pressurizing pipe 9 can communicate with the mounting part 4 through the adjusting assembly, and the first pressurizing pipe 8 and the second pressurizing pipe 9 are respectively provided with a first one-way valve 12 and a second one-way valve 13, which only allow gas to flow from the pressure regulating cylinder 2 to the mounting part 4 through the adjusting assembly. One end of the third pressurizing pipe 10 and the fourth pressurizing pipe 11 respectively communicates with the two ends of the pressure regulating cylinder 2, and the third pressurizing pipe 10 is located at the left end of the pressure regulating cylinder 2, and the fourth pressurizing pipe 11 is located at the right end of the pressure regulating cylinder 2.
