[0001] The invention relates to the field of valve testing, and in particular to a testing device and a testing method for a breathing valve. Background Art

[0002] A breathing valve is a valve that not only ensures that the storage tank space is isolated from the atmosphere within a certain pressure range, but can also communicate with the atmosphere (breathe) when the pressure exceeds or falls below this range.

[0043] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0044] See also Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a test device for a breathing valve, which mainly includes two independent parts, an operating table 1 and a test table 4; this design can effectively reduce the overall volume of the test device and avoid other problems caused by integration (for example, if the operating table 1 and the test table 4 are an integrated structure, the vibration caused by the operation of the operating table 1 will be transmitted to the test table 4, causing problems such as the displacement of the installation position of the breathing valve and the shaking of the valve body, thereby affecting the test accuracy), and the two independent parts are more convenient to move after the volume becomes smaller, which is suitable for flexible layout.

[0045] See also Figure 2-3 As shown, the operating table 1 is a box structure, and its side wall is provided with a power interface 11 for docking with the electric control box 303, and a test outlet 12 for docking with the vacuum pump pipeline 301 and the pressure pump pipeline 302, which are used to realize the connection and control of the circuit and gas circuit;

[0046] A control panel 2 is provided on the outside of the operating table 1. The control panel 2 can be tilted and installed on the top of the operating table 1. The angle formed with the horizontal plane is preferably about 60°, so as to facilitate the use of the test personnel; specifically, the control panel 2 includes a vacuum pump switch 201, a pressure pump switch 202, a negative pressure test switch 203, a positive pressure test switch 204 and a pressure relief switch 205. Two pressure gauges 10 are also provided above the control panel 2. The two pressure gauges 10 correspond to the negative pressure test switch 203 and the positive pressure test switch 204 one by one, respectively, and are used to display the output positive / negative pressure values, so as to facilitate the test personnel to grasp the air pressure information in real time and make adjustments;

[0047] A pneumatic system 3 is arranged inside the operating table 1, and the pneumatic system 3 specifically includes an electric control box 303, a vacuum pump pipeline 301, and a pressure pump pipeline 302. The electric control box 303 is connected to the control panel 2, and the operation of the vacuum pump pipeline 301 and the pressure pump pipeline 302 can be flexibly switched by controlling various buttons. It should be noted that the vacuum pump pipeline 301 and the pressure pump pipeline 302 in the pneumatic system 3 share a test outlet 12, and the two can be connected at the connection with the test outlet 12 by installing a three-way valve (not shown in the figure).

[0048] See also Figure 4 As shown, the test bench 4 is a tank structure, and a transfer flange 5 is provided at the upper end of the test bench 4. The lower end of the transfer flange 5 is connected to the interior of the test bench 4, and the upper end is used to dock the flange end of the breathing valve. A clamp assembly 8 is provided on the periphery of the transfer flange 5, which is used to press the flange end of the breathing valve onto the transfer flange 5 to achieve a sealed connection;

[0049] A test inlet 6 and a pressure gauge interface 7 are provided on the side of the test bench 4. The test inlet 6 can be connected to the test outlet 12 through a pneumatic pipeline, thereby connecting the test bench 4 with the air pressure system 3; the pressure gauge interface 7 is used to connect a U-shaped pressure gauge 9. For the convenience of use and observation, the U-shaped pressure gauge 9 can be installed on the test bench 4 near the pressure gauge interface 7. During the test, relevant data can be obtained by observing the liquid level changes of the pressure gauge interface 7, thereby judging the quality of the breathing valve.

[0050] When the above-mentioned test device is in use, the operating table 1 and the test table 4 are moved to appropriate positions for assembly, and then the breathing valve is hoisted onto the test table 4 and clamped and fixed using the clamp assembly 8. The tester tests its performance through the control panel 2 and records the relevant test data. Finally, it is compared with the standard data of the breathing valve to determine whether it is qualified. For details, see the test method of the breathing valve later.

[0051] Since the test operations are basically concentrated on the control panel 2, the tester only needs to control the corresponding switches to complete the test work, which is more convenient and simple to operate; and the U-type pressure gauge 9 can also be used to accurately obtain the positive / negative pressure data of the breathing valve opening. Compared with expensive electronic detection equipment, it has low cost and good practicality.

[0052] In addition to manual reading test methods, the test device is also compatible with automatic electronic testing, see Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, it can be equipped with a handheld terminal 27 connected to the operating table 1, and an ultrasonic liquid level sensor 28 is installed on the U-shaped pressure gauge. The handheld terminal 27 is controlled by a touch screen, and can collect electronic data from the pressure gauge 10, and record and view it, and finally obtain the pressure change curve of the breathing valve under positive and negative pressure opening and pressure maintenance conditions.

[0053] See also Figure 4-5 As shown, in some embodiments, there are multiple fixture assemblies 8, which are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer circumference of the adapter flange 5, and multiple support frames 13 are evenly distributed circumferentially inside the test bench 4, and each support frame 13 is arranged below the corresponding fixture assembly 8.

[0054] The above structure adopts a layout of multiple circumferentially evenly distributed clamp assemblies 8, which can make the flange end of the breathing valve bear force evenly, thereby improving the stability and reliability of docking with the adapter flange 5; for example, preferably three clamp assemblies 8 distributed at 120° can press the breathing valve onto the adapter flange 5. In addition, considering that the test bench 4 is a tank structure, its upper end face is easily deformed and damaged under the load of the breathing valve and the clamp assembly 8, so a support frame 13 can be installed inside the test bench 4 to strengthen the structure of the upper end face of the test bench 4, and the number and position of the support frame 13 can correspond to the clamp assembly 8.

[0055] See also Figure 6-7 As shown, the fixture assembly 8 includes a slide rail 801 fixedly arranged on the upper end of the test bench 4, a slide seat 802 slidably arranged on the slide rail 801, and a quick clamp 803 fixedly arranged above the slide seat 802. The length direction of the slide rail 801 is perpendicular to and intersects with the axial direction of the adapter flange 5, and a stop plate 804 is arranged at one end of the slide rail 801 away from the adapter flange 5.

[0056] The use of the quick clamp 803 in the clamp assembly 8 can quickly press the breathing valve onto the adapter flange 5, which is convenient and efficient to operate. The position of the quick clamp 803 from the adapter flange 5 can be flexibly adjusted by the cooperation between the slide seat 802 and the slide rail 801 to fix breathing valves of different calibers, and the stop plate 804 has an anti-slip function to prevent the slide seat 802 from moving out of the slide rail 801. The specific structure of the slide rail 801 and the slide seat 802 is not limited, and it only needs to be able to slide along the radial direction of the adapter flange 5 and prevent axial slippage. For example, the slide rail 801 here is an inverted "T" shaped structure, and the slide seat 802 is an "I" shaped structure, and the bottom of the slide seat 802 is embedded in the slide rail 801 for movement.

[0057] In addition to the manual type, the clamp assembly 8 can also be an automatic type, see Fig.10 As shown, a pulley 24 can be installed at the end of each slide rail 801 away from the adapter flange 5, and a guide wheel 25 can be installed at the end close to the adapter flange 5, and a synchronous belt 26 can be used to connect the pulleys 24 and guide wheels 25 together. At the same time, one side of the synchronous belt 26 is respectively connected to the slide seat 802 on each slide rail 801 to ensure that when the synchronous belt 26 rotates, the slide seats 802 can move forward and backward synchronously.

[0058] When in use, the motor (not shown) drives one of the pulleys 24, and the synchronous belt 26 can be used to synchronously drive each slide 802 to move closer to or away from the adapter flange 5, thereby driving the quick clamp 803 to automatically move to a suitable position. Compared with the manual clamp assembly 8, the automatic clamp assembly 8 is more convenient to operate, and the forward or backward distance of the quick clamp 803 at each location is consistent, that is, the fixing point of the quick clamp 803 is accurate and consistent, which is more uniform and reliable for the force on the flange end of the breathing valve, and can better meet the requirements of high-precision testing.

[0059] See also Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a sealing groove 5a is provided at the upper end of the adapter flange 5, and a sealing ring 14 is installed in the sealing groove 5a.

[0060] The above structure installs a sealing ring 14 on the adapter flange 5, and the sealing ring 14 can be an O-ring. In this way, the small gap between the flange end of the breathing valve and the adapter flange 5 can be filled by the sealing ring 14, which avoids the leakage of air pressure at the docking position, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the valve test.

[0061] Further, see Figure 8As shown, the inner wall of the adapter flange 5 is provided with strip holes 5b distributed along the axial direction, and a lever 15 is inserted into the strip hole 5b. The middle part of the lever 15 is rotatably connected to the strip hole 5b through a rotating shaft 16. The bottom of the sealing groove 5a is provided with a through hole 5c connected to the strip hole 5b, and a top block 17 connected to the lever 15 is provided in the through hole 5c; when there is no external force, the top block 17 is below the bottom of the sealing groove 5a.

[0062] Since the sealing ring 14 is inevitably worn out during long-term use, the sealing failure at the connection between the breathing valve and the adapter flange 5 will affect the test, and the replacement of the sealing ring 14 generally requires the use of corresponding tools, which is relatively cumbersome in operation. Therefore, this embodiment opens a bar hole 5b and a through hole 5c, and installs a lever 15 that can rotate up and down in the bar hole 5b, and installs a slightly smaller top block 17 in the through hole 5c. The lever 15 is combined with the top block 17 to form a lever structure. In this way, when the sealing ring 14 needs to be removed, the lever 15 can be pressed down to drive the top block 17 to rise, and the sealing ring 14 in the sealing groove 5a can be easily ejected, so as to achieve the purpose of convenient replacement.

[0063] See also Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a Forma wheel 18 is provided below the test bench 4, and a plurality of leg assemblies are evenly distributed around the side of the test bench 4, and the leg assemblies include a first adjusting rod 19, a second adjusting rod 20 and a supporting foot 21, one end of the first adjusting rod 19 is hinged to the top of the test bench 4, and the other end is hinged to the supporting foot 21, one end of the second adjusting rod 20 is hinged to the bottom of the test bench 4, and the other end is hinged to the middle of the first adjusting rod 19, screw holes 21a are provided at the four corners of the supporting foot 21, and a rubber pad 22 is provided below the supporting foot 21.

[0064] The above structure is installed with a Foma wheel 18, which is composed of a roller part and a foot pad part, and the two can be switched with each other, which facilitates the movement and temporary fixation of the test bench 4. In the process of installing the breathing valve, it is difficult to effectively stabilize the test bench 4 by relying solely on the foot pad part of the Foma wheel 18, which will increase the difficulty of installing the breathing valve. Therefore, it is possible to choose to install multiple leg assemblies on the side of the test bench 4 for auxiliary cooperation. For example, it is still preferred to use three leg assemblies distributed at 120° for anti-tilt support. When used specifically, a triangular structure is formed by unfolding the first adjustment rod 19 and the second adjustment rod 20 to adjust the length, and at the same time, the support foot 21 is in contact with the ground to form an anti-tilt support. The rubber pad 22 under the support foot 21 can increase the friction between the support foot 21 and the ground. In addition, if the test environment permits, screws can be installed in the screw holes 21a to fix the support foot 21 on the ground to further improve the stability.

[0065] Preferably, the first adjusting rod 19 and the second adjusting rod 20 have the same structure, and both include an outer tube 23a and an inner tube 23b. A nut seat 23c is provided at one end of the outer tube 23a, and a round nut 23d is rotatably installed in the threaded seat. One end of the inner tube 23b passes through the round nut 23d and then extends into the outer tube 23a. The inner tube 23b is threadedly matched with the round nut 23d.

[0066] The first adjusting rod 19 and the second adjusting rod 20 are both manual adjusting rods. When in use, the round nut 23d in the threaded seat is rotated clockwise / counterclockwise to drive the inner tube 23b to slide and retract relative to the outer tube 23a, which has the advantages of simple operation and high adjustable precision.

[0067] The present invention also provides a method for testing a breathing valve, characterized in that the method uses any of the above-mentioned breathing valve testing devices to perform the test, and comprises the following steps:

[0068] S1. Assembling the test device: Move the operating table 1 and the test table 4 to suitable positions and connect the pneumatic pipes to form a complete test device;

[0069] S2. Breathing valve installation: Use a crane to hoist the breathing valve to be tested above the test bench 4, align it and slowly place it on the adapter flange 5, and then use the clamp assembly 8 to press and fix the two together;

[0070] S3. Breathing valve test: select the air pressure system 3 through the control panel 2, connect the breathing valve after obtaining the required air pressure, observe the liquid level change of the U-type pressure gauge 9 and record the corresponding data, and compare the standard data of the breathing valve to determine whether it is qualified; wherein,

[0071] When the positive pressure of the breathing valve to be tested is reached, the pressure relief switch 205 and the negative pressure test switch 203 are closed, the positive pressure test switch 204 is opened and the pressure pump switch 202 is pressed to start the inflation in the test bench 4, and at the same time, the liquid level change of the U-type pressure gauge 9 is observed until the breathing valve is opened, the pressure pump switch 202 is released, and the data corresponding to the liquid level of the U-type pressure gauge 9 is recorded. After the test is completed, the pressure relief switch 205 is opened to release the pressure;

[0072] When the negative pressure opening pressure of the breathing valve to be tested is reached, the pressure relief switch 205 and the positive pressure test switch 204 are closed, the negative pressure test switch 203 is opened and the vacuum pump switch 201 is pressed to start evacuating the test bench 4, and at the same time, the liquid level change of the U-type pressure gauge 9 is observed until the breathing valve is opened, the vacuum pump switch 201 is released, and the data corresponding to the liquid level of the U-type pressure gauge 9 is recorded. After the test is completed, the pressure relief switch 205 is opened for pressure relief;

[0073] S4. Disassembly of the test device: After the test is completed, clean the test device, disconnect the pneumatic pipeline, and then move the operating table 1 and the test table 4 to their original positions.

[0074] In order to improve the stability of the test bench 4 itself and facilitate the remote installation of the breathing valve, in step S1, after the test bench 4 is moved to a suitable position, the side leg assembly of the test bench 4 can be lowered for anti-tilt support.

[0075] To meet the test requirements of a small breathing valve, in step S2, the nominal diameter of the breathing valve is 50-500 mm, and the maximum testable pressure of the breathing valve is 0.4 MPa.

[0076] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation modes. For ordinary technicians in this field, various changes made based on the above-mentioned conception without creative work all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
