Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of sealing detection, and particularly relates to a device and system for detecting the sealing performance of a lip-shaped sealing ring. BACKGROUND

[0002] Chemical raw material liquid gas storage has specific storage conditions, such as the storage condition of liquid oxygen is low-temperature high-pressure compression, and the liquid oxygen is converted into gas and released when decompression and temperature rising, so that a low-temperature pressure container is used for storing and transporting liquid ethylene, liquefied natural gas, liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen and other liquid gases. The low-temperature pressure container must use a valve. The ultra-low temperature ball valve is widely used in the low-temperature pressure container due to the characteristics of good sealing, high reliability, small fluid resistance, long service life, rapid switching and the like.

[0003] The sealing performance is a key factor for the reliable operation of the ball valve in a specified temperature range, and is important for the safety factor of the gas fuel. At present, the minimum temperature requirement reaches-163 DEG C in the liquefied natural gas field, and reaches-196 DEG C in the liquid nitrogen application field, which requires higher requirements on the sealing structure and material.

[0004] At present, all the industry standards about the ultra-low temperature ball valve in China specify the allowable leakage of the valve seat. This means that the valve seat leakage will pass through two possible leakage paths: 1, the connection between the valve seat and the valve ball; 2, the sealing place of the valve seat and the valve body.

[0005] Once the valve seat of the ultra-low temperature ball valve is detected to have a leakage exceeding the industry standard, it is difficult to determine whether the sealing layer at the connection between the valve seat and the valve ball leaks or the lip-shaped sealing ring at the sealing place of the valve seat and the valve body leaks. Since the sealing performance of the sealing layer at the connection between the valve seat and the valve ball is not easy to detect, how to detect the sealing performance of the lip-shaped sealing ring becomes a problem to be solved. After preliminary search, no device and system for detecting the sealing performance of the lip-shaped sealing ring are found. SUMMARY

[0006] The application aims at improving the prior art, that is, the application discloses a device and system for detecting the sealing performance of a lip-shaped sealing ring.

[0013] a winding pad is arranged between the valve body and one side of the left end cover and one side of the right end cover, respectively;

[0014] a first adjusting pad or a second adjusting pad is sleeved between the right end cover and the valve body, for simulating the condition of no slip or slip;

[0015] a containing space for accommodating a lip-shaped sealing ring is arranged between the first adjusting pad, the valve body and the left end cover, or

[0019] Further, the outer edge of the left end cover is uniformly provided with twelve first through holes.
