Description

[0020] Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figures 3 and 4, there are fixing bolts 21 on both sides of the test fixing seat. The fixing holes of the fixing shells on both sides of the tested diaphragm air pump 5 are respectively covered with the two fixing bolts 21 and fixed with nuts.

The handles of the power switches AS4 and S5 are located outside the other two openings on the outside front of the workbench 1.

[0021] Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this novel device combines existing, mature, single-chip microcomputer-based data acquisition and display technology to provide a variety of data acquisition and display functions (the aforementioned technologies are currently mature technologies and are not described in detail in this application, nor do they represent any technical solutions). After turning on the main power switch, 220V AC power enters the power input of power module T1. Power module T1 then outputs a stable 12V DC power supply that is fed into the single-chip microcomputer module T6, the positive pressure sensor T2, the negative pressure sensor T3, two flowmeters T4 and T5, the alarm circuit, the detection circuit, and the power inputs of power switches S1, S2, and S3. Before testing, the operator inserts the fixing holes on either side of the fixed housing of the diaphragm air pump 5 into the two fixing bolts 21 and secures them with nuts. The rear and front ends of the two metal hose connectors are connected to the intake and exhaust pipes of the diaphragm air pump 5, respectively (these operations are reversed after testing to complete the test). The front ends of the two metal hose connectors are connected to the front ends of the two connecting pipes 102. Once powered, the voltmeter V displays voltage data in real time. When it is necessary to test the input and output gas flow and input and output gas pressure of the diaphragm air pump 5, turn on the power switches of the solenoid valves DC2 and DC3, and insert the power plug of the diaphragm air pump 5 into the power socket XZ. After the diaphragm air pump 5 is powered on, it will inhale the external air through the intake pipe and discharge it through the exhaust pipe. During the process of air inflow and outflow (the air enters the intake pipe of the diaphragm air pump 5 through the solenoid valve DC2 and the left end connecting pipe 102, and then passes through the exhaust pipe of the diaphragm air pump 5, the right end connecting pipe 102, and the solenoid valve DC3 output), pin 3 of the flowmeter T4 will output the air flow voltage data (the greater the flow, the higher the voltage signal, and vice versa) of the air intake pipe of the diaphragm air pump 5 to pin 5 of the single-chip module; when the gas pressure output from the exhaust pipe of the diaphragm air pump 5 is large, the voltage signal output to pin 3 of the positive pressure sensor T2 is higher, and vice versa; when the air flow output from the diaphragm air pump 5 is large, the voltage signal output to pin 6 of the flowmeter T5 is higher, and vice versa. When it is necessary to detect the negative pressure suction of the diaphragm air pump 5, turn off the power switch S2 of the solenoid valve DC2. In this way, the valve core of the solenoid valve DC2 is closed when it loses power. Turn on the power switch S3 of the solenoid valve DC3. The valve core of the solenoid valve DC3 is opened when it is energized. After the diaphragm air pump 5 is energized, negative pressure suction is generated in its intake pipe. The greater the suction generated by the diaphragm air pump 5 (the greater the negative pressure), the higher the voltage signal output from pin 3 of the negative pressure sensor T3 to pin 4 of the single-chip module T6, and vice versa (at the same time, the flow meter T4 outputs a flow voltage signal to pin 5 of the single-chip module T6).When it is necessary to test the pressure-maintaining performance of the diaphragm air pump 5 (that is, to test the sealing of the housing, etc.), the power switches of the solenoid valves DC2 and DC3 are turned off, and the power switch S1 of the solenoid valve DC1 is turned on. The valve core of the solenoid valve DC1 is energized to open, allowing the compressed air in the air compressor tank to enter the housing of the diaphragm air pump 5. The solenoid valve DC1 is then closed, and pin 3 of the positive pressure sensor T2 outputs a voltage signal to pin 3 of the single-chip microcomputer module T6 (the higher the pressure, the higher the voltage signal, and vice versa). Through the above, the present invention can obtain various data of the diaphragm air pump 5 under different test conditions by observing the flow rate and pressure data displayed on the display screen of the single-chip microcomputer module T6.

[0022] Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the pressure-maintaining performance test of the diaphragm air pump 5 is carried out, the air pressure inside the diaphragm air pump 5 is higher than a certain level (indicating good sealing performance), the voltage signal output by pin 3 of the positive pressure sensor T2 is divided by the adjustable resistor RP1 and the resistor R1 and enters pin 2 of the three-terminal voltage detector T7, which is higher than its internal 4.75V threshold voltage. Pin 1 of the three-terminal voltage detector T7 outputs a high level, and the transistor Q1 will not be turned on. Then, the alarm B will not be powered on and will not work. When the pressure-maintaining performance test of the diaphragm air pump 5 is being conducted, the air pressure inside the diaphragm air pump 5 is lower than a certain level (indicating that the sealing performance is poor), the voltage signal outputted by the 3rd pin of the positive pressure sensor T2 is divided by the adjustable resistor RP1 and the resistor R1 and enters the 2nd pin of the three-terminal voltage detector T7, which is lower than its internal 4.75V threshold voltage. The 1st pin of the three-terminal voltage detector T7 outputs a low level, which is reduced and limited by the resistor R2 and enters the base of the transistor Q1. The transistor Q1 will turn on the collector and output a low level to the positive power input terminal of the alarm B. Then, the alarm B will be energized and sound, reminding the staff whether the sealing of the diaphragm air pump 5 is good, and the test process can be ended as soon as possible.

[0023] Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, through all the above technical solutions, the present invention can detect the input and output flow rates of the diaphragm air pump per unit time, as well as the input and output pressure data and the negative pressure data generated, by simply switching the power switch. It can also detect the pressure holding data per unit time and, if the pressure holding data is abnormal, promptly prompt the staff to end the detection process through an alarm. This new invention brings convenience to the staff and achieves the technical effect of more comprehensive detection data. Figure 3In the figure, power module T1 is a finished product of an AC 220V drilled DC 12V switching power supply module; solenoid valves DC1, DC2, and DC3 are 2W normally closed valve core solenoid valves; microcontroller module T6 is model STM32F103C8T6; resistors R1 and R2 have resistances of 5K and 1K respectively; transistor Q1 is model 9012 (PNP type); adjustable resistor RP1 has resistance of 10K (adjustable to 2K); positive pressure sensor T2 is a finished product of a pressure transmitter model LU-THG, which has two power input terminals and a signal output terminal. The greater the detected pressure, the higher the voltage signal output by the signal output terminal, and vice versa (the output voltage signal changes dynamically from 0-10V). Flowmeters T4 and T5 are finished gas flow sensors, model HBT3697, with two power inputs and one signal output. A higher flow rate results in a higher voltage signal, while a lower flow rate results in a lower voltage signal (a dynamically changing 0-5V voltage signal). Negative pressure sensor T3 is a finished negative pressure sensor, model PCM300, with two power inputs and one signal output. A higher negative pressure results in a higher voltage signal, while a lower negative pressure results in a lower voltage signal (a dynamically changing 0-10V voltage signal). Three-terminal voltage detector T7 is model AN051A. Alarm B is a finished active continuous sound alarm, model FW-12V. The aforementioned electrical components are all existing, mature technologies, and this application will not elaborate on their operating principles.
