Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pneumatic control element detection, and in particular to a main start valve test platform. Background Art

[0002] The main start valve is mainly used to control the operation of the engine gas starter motor. It is an important component of the engine gas starter system. Its quality status is directly related to the performance and reliability of the gas starter system. In the research and development and production process of the main start valve, the performance test of the main start valve is indispensable and is an important evaluation basis for ensuring its reliability.

[0003] At present, the performance test of the main start valve is generally to clamp the main start valve on the bench vise first, then connect the main air inlet and the control air line interface to the air source with the air pipe joint and the hose respectively, open the main air line air source pipeline valve, check whether the main start valve has air leakage, and then press the button on the control air line air source pipeline several times to make the main start valve work and check its action sensitivity. Then, according to the test specification requirements, lower the air source pressure to 4bar (the designed minimum opening pressure of the main start valve), repeat the above work, and test the action sensitivity of the main start valve under the minimum pressure.

[0004] This detection method has the following disadvantages:

[0005] 1. The operating efficiency is too low. When batch testing, each time a main start valve is replaced, it is necessary to re-clamp and re-connect the pipeline, and the gas circuit ball valve must be repeatedly switched on and off and the pressure of the pressure reducing valve must be adjusted;

[0006] 2. The cost is high, because the testing process is cumbersome and requires at least two people to cooperate in the operation. The testing time is long, the manual workload is large, and the manpower and time costs are high;

[0007] 3. The noise is high. During the test, the exhaust is directly discharged into the test environment, which generates high noise;

[0008] 4. It is not conducive to production safety. The reaction force of the exhaust directly acts on the main start valve. If the main start valve is detached from the bench vise and flies out, there is a risk of personal injury. Repeated disassembly and assembly of the test pipeline is also dangerous.

The pressure cylinder 3, the clamping cylinder 5 and the laser photoelectric displacement sensor 13 are connected to the control system 14. The main start valve is placed on the main start valve positioning device. The main air circuit ventilates the pressure cylinder, the clamping cylinder and the main start valve, compresses the main start valve and seals the inlet and outlet of the main start valve at the same time, and high-pressure control air and low-pressure control air are introduced into the control air circuit. The detection test result of the main start valve is detected by the laser photoelectric displacement sensor, which can better improve labor efficiency, reduce detection noise, and effectively protect personal safety.

[0017] The main start valve positioning device 8 is a guide slide groove, which is arranged on the experimental bench 1 to ensure the stability of the position of the main start valve when it is placed, to ensure the sealing effect of the subsequent main start valve inlet and outlet seals, and at the same time to ensure the stability of the lateral movement of the main start valve through the slide groove.

[0018] The support frame 2 is arranged on the experimental bench frame 1, and the second sealing block 9 and the third sealing block support block 10 are arranged on the support frame 2, so that the structure of the main start valve test platform is simpler.

[0019] A travel switch 15 is provided on the test bench 1 corresponding to the clamping cylinder 5, the clamping cylinder 5 is connected to the movable support frame 16, the front pressure block 6 and the first sealing block 7 are arranged on the movable support frame 16, and the movable support frame 16 is provided with a switch block 17 cooperating with the travel switch 15, and the front pressure block and the first sealing block are arranged on the movable support frame, which ensures the stability of the support of the front pressure block and the first sealing block, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the subsequent main starting valve inlet and outlet seals.

In fact, the present invention can also adopt a separate control method to control the clamping cylinder, the pressing cylinder, the main start valve and the pressing block separately.

[0022] The following briefly describes the action process of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0023] 1. Turn on the air source and power supply of the control system 28 in the control box 14, and then adjust the pressure regulating valve in the control box to set the main air pressure as required, and confirm it through the display of the main air pressure gauge 19. Check whether the clamping cylinder 5 and the pressing cylinder 3 are reset.

[0024] 2. Set the high and low pressure control gas line pressures as required by adjusting the two-way pressure regulating valves of the control system 28 in the control box 14. Observe and confirm the displayed values ​​of the high pressure control gas line pressure gauge 21 and the low pressure control gas line pressure gauge 22.

[0025] 3. Place the main start valve along the guide groove into the main start valve positioning device 8 in the specified direction.

[0026] 4. Open the main air circuit control button 20, tighten the cylinder 5 and the pressing cylinder 3 and clamp the main starting valve 25.

[0027] 5. Press the low-pressure control air circuit button 24 in a jog motion to control the air pressure to push the valve core through the pressing block 4 and open the main start valve. The laser photoelectric displacement sensor 13 detects the movement displacement of the valve core through the pressure relief hole at the bottom of the main start valve 25, and displays the result through the travel indicator light 26. Repeat the operation as required to verify the test results.

[0028] 6. Repeatedly press the high pressure control gas circuit button 21 to obtain the same test process.

[0029] 7. Close the main gas circuit control knob 20, the main gas circuit is cut off, the tightening cylinder 5 and the pressing cylinder 3 are reset, the main starting valve is removed, and the test is completed.

[0034] 3. Effectively obtain the inspection and test results, and can directly and conveniently obtain the operating status of the main start valve.

[0035] 4. To ensure the production safety of the test work, several working cylinders clamp the main start valve in all directions, the gas is not directly discharged into the air, no reaction force is generated during operation, and there is no disadvantage caused by repeated disassembly and assembly of the interface.
