[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. However, it should not be construed that the scope of the subject matter of the present invention is limited to the following embodiments. All modifications, substitutions and alterations made based on ordinary technical knowledge and common practices in the art without departing from the above-described technical concept of the present invention are included within the scope of the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1-13 As shown, in this embodiment, the turbine support flow test device includes a pipe joint 1, a nozzle 2, a sealing screw 3, and a sealing ring 6.

[0036] Specifically, the pipe connector 1 is constructed as a three-way pipe. Depending on the location of the oil supply nozzle hole 4 for different models, a second and third interface, serving as the oil outlet, are positioned on the pipe connector 1. The second and third interfaces extend outwards from the surface of the pipe connector 1 via branch pipes. An annular sealing groove 5 is machined on the end face of the branch pipe, and internal threads are machined on the inner wall of the branch pipe end. The first interface on the pipe connector 1 is located at one end of the inner cavity of the pipe connector 1, and an annular sealing groove 5 is machined on the inner wall near the end. Along the axial direction of the inner cavity and on the outer surface of the pipe connector 1, there is a plane with two threaded holes. These threaded holes communicate with the inner cavity, and an annular sealing groove 5 is machined on the plane of the threaded hole opening. The nozzle 2 has a structure with a straight section and a curved section. The straight section has an oil supply nozzle 4.

[0037] Before testing, the straight part of the nozzle 2 with the oil supply hole nozzle 4 is inserted into the inner cavity of the pipe joint 1 from the first interface of the pipe joint 1, and the sealing ring 6 is installed between the straight part of the nozzle 2 and the annular sealing groove 5 at the first interface. Then, the sealing ring 6 is installed in the annular sealing groove 5 of the threaded hole orifice of the pipe joint 1, and then the plug screw 3 is screwed into the two threaded holes on the surface plane of the pipe joint 2 until the straight part of the nozzle 2 is compressed. The second interface and the third interface are connected to the standard hose as oil outlets. The angle between the second interface (with a branch pipe) and the third interface (with a branch pipe) as oil outlets is the same as the angle of the two oil supply nozzle holes 4 on the nozzle 2, and the sealing ring 6 is also installed in the annular sealing groove 5 at the end face of the second interface and the third interface. The second interface and the third interface as oil outlets are connected to the 1000ml measuring cup through the standard hose.

[0038] When the turbine support has only one oil supply nozzle hole 4, the unused oil outlet (second interface or third interface) is equipped with a sealing ring 6 and a plug screw 3. The annular sealing groove 5 is provided between the pipe joint 1 and the plug screw 3, and the plug screw 3 is sealed by the end face. After the pipe joint 1 is installed, the plug screw 3 is tightened with a wrench. The entire device has one pipe joint 1, three plug screws 3, three end face sealing rings 6, one inner diameter sealing ring 6 at the first interface, and two 1-meter-long standard 7-inch hoses.

[0039] The turbine support flow testing device of the present application selects appropriate standard sealing rings 6 to be installed in the annular sealing grooves 5 at the connection, forming four end face sealing structures and one inner diameter sealing structure; the plug screw 3 has three parts, which can block the second interface or the third interface, and can also compress the nozzle 2 from the threaded hole; the second interface and the third interface are made into oil outlets that can be connected to standard 7-inch hoses. The threaded holes for compressing the nozzle 2 of the second interface, the third interface, and the plug screw 3 are all M8, and the threads of the plug screw 3 are also M8.

[0040] The pipe joint 1 of the present application has good universality and interchangeability. When other models of turbine supports have only one oil supply nozzle hole 4, the pipe joint 1 of the present application can also be used. By installing a sealing ring 6 with a plug screw 3, one of the interfaces (oil outlets) is blocked, and the other interface (oil outlet) is connected to a standard hose for testing. The present application is provided with an annular sealing groove 5 and a sealing ring 6 at the connection, which prevents oil leakage and ensures the accuracy of the measured value to meet the technical requirements of turbine support flow testing.

[0041] The description of the application herein is not intended to be detailed and is well known to those skilled in the art. Although the above describes the specific embodiments of the application in order to facilitate the understanding of the application for those skilled in the art, it should be clear that the application is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments, and for those skilled in the art, it is obvious that various changes are within the spirit and scope of the application defined and determined by the appended claims, and all the applications using the concept of the application are within the scope of protection.
