[0119] 3. Again, the air supply device 70 stops supplying air, opens the first unloading valve 51 and / or the second unloading valve 52, so that the air pressure in the valve cavity returns to normal atmospheric pressure, and closes the valve plate of the valve through the plate claw (the valve plate is closed to block the free flow of liquid or gas in the valve). The valve plate is closed to divide the valve cavity into the left cavity of the valve (i.e., the cavity connected to the first sealing member 21) and the right cavity of the valve (i.e., the cavity connected to the second sealing member 22). The first unloading valve 51, the second unloading valve 52 and the first drain and exhaust valve 25 are closed, and the first air-tight switch valve 45 is opened. The air supply device 70 starts supplying air, so that the gas pressure in the right cavity of the valve is greater than the gas pressure in the left cavity of the valve. The first bubble counter 41 detects whether there are bubbles flowing out of the third leak detection drainage tube 43. If there are no bubbles, it indicates that after the valve plate is closed, the high-pressure air tightness from the right cavity of the valve to the left cavity of the valve is good and there is no leakage.

[0120] Then the air supply device 70 stops supplying air, punches the second unloading valve 52, and after the air pressure in the right inner cavity of the valve returns to normal atmospheric pressure, closes the first air-tight switch 45, the second drain and exhaust valve 26, and the second unloading valve 52, opens the first drain and exhaust valve 25 and the second air-tight switch valve 46, and the air supply device 70 starts supplying air, so that the air pressure in the left inner cavity of the valve is greater than the air pressure in the right inner cavity of the valve, and the second bubble counter 42 detects whether there are bubbles flowing out of the fourth leak detection drainage pipe 44. If there are no bubbles, it indicates that after the valve plate is closed, the high-pressure air tightness from the left inner cavity of the valve to the right inner cavity of the valve is good and there is no leakage;

[0121] 4. Then, the air supply device 70 stops supplying air, punches the first unloading valve 51, and after the air pressure in the left inner cavity of the valve returns to normal atmospheric pressure, closes the second airtight switch valve 46 and the first unloading valve 51, opens the second drainage and exhaust valve 26, and then the water supply device supplies water, so that the left inner cavity and the right inner cavity of the valve are filled with water (normal water pressure), and then closes the first drainage and exhaust valve 25, opens the first water-tight switch valve 35, and the water supply device 80 supplies high-pressure water, so that the water pressure in the right inner cavity of the valve is greater than the water pressure in the left inner cavity of the valve, and the first water drop counter 31 detects whether there are water drops flowing out of the first leak detection drainage pipe 33. If there are no water drops, it indicates that after the valve plate is closed, the high-pressure water tightness from the right inner cavity of the valve to the left inner cavity of the valve is good and there is no leakage;

[0122] Then, the water supply device 80 stops supplying water, punches the second unloading valve 52, and after the water pressure in the right inner cavity of the valve returns to normal water pressure, closes the first water sealing switch valve 35, the second drainage and exhaust valve 26, and the second unloading valve 52, opens the first drainage and exhaust valve 25 and the second water sealing switch valve 36, and the water supply device 80 performs high-pressure water supply, so that the water pressure in the left inner cavity of the valve is greater than the water pressure in the right inner cavity of the valve, and the second water drop counter 32 detects whether there are water drops flowing out of the second leak detection drainage pipe 34. If there are no water drops flowing out of the second leak detection drainage pipe 34, it indicates that after the valve plate is closed, the high-pressure water tightness from the left inner cavity of the valve to the right inner cavity of the valve is good and there is no leakage;

[0123] 5. Finally, open the first unloading valve 51, the second unloading valve 52 and the second drain and exhaust valve 26, empty the water in the valve cavity, pipeline and leak detection drainage tube, and then take out the valve. The automatic control test bench equipment for testing the full performance of the valve completes the measurement of the pressure resistance (low pressure resistance and high pressure resistance), air tightness and water tightness of the valve housing.
