Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electronic water valve testing, specifically, it relates to an electronic water valve testing device and its testing method. Background Technology
[0002] The electric water valve adopts a top-mounted structure, which reduces the number of connecting bolts on the valve body under high pressure and large diameter conditions, enhances the reliability of the valve, and can overcome the influence of the system's own weight on the normal operation of the valve.
[0003] During the testing and clamping process of electronic water valves, multiple bolts are usually turned to simultaneously press against the electronic water valve for testing. Although this fixing method is secure, it is very troublesome to fix the electronic water valve because each bolt needs to be turned, resulting in low testing efficiency.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an electronic water valve testing device and its testing method.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] An electronic water valve testing device includes a test platform with two clamping plates that slide horizontally towards each other on the test platform. The bottom surface of the test platform is provided with a first driving mechanism for driving the two clamping plates to slide horizontally towards each other. Two sliding plates slide horizontally on the test platform. The bottom surface of the test platform is provided with a first electric push rod for driving the sliding plates to slide. A water pipe seat slides vertically on the sliding plate. A second electric push rod is provided on the sliding plate for driving the water pipe seat to slide. A water valve connector is rotatably fitted on the water pipe seat. An inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are respectively connected to the two water pipe seats. A smart water pressure gauge is connected to the inlet pipe, and a smart water flow rate meter is connected to the outlet pipe.
[0008] Optionally, the test stand is provided with a first slide corresponding to the clamp. The clamp includes an L-shaped plate for blocking the first slide and a T-shaped sliding plate connected to the bottom surface of the L-shaped plate, with the upper part of the T-shaped sliding plate slidingly engaged in the first slide.
[0009] Optionally, anti-slip pads are provided on the inner sides of both L-shaped panels.
[0010] Optionally, the first drive mechanism includes a dual-axis extension motor mounted on the bottom surface of the test bench, and two threaded pull rods respectively mounted on both ends of the output shaft of the dual-axis extension motor. The two threaded pull rods are threadedly engaged with two T-shaped sliding plates, and the thread directions of the two threaded pull rods are opposite.
[0011] Optionally, the test stand is provided with a second slide corresponding to the sliding plate. The sliding plate includes a slide plate for blocking the second slide and a T-shaped plate on the bottom surface of the slide plate. The upper part of the T-shaped plate is slidably engaged in the second slide, and the lower part of the T-shaped plate is fixed on the output end of the first electric push rod.
[0012] Optionally, the skateboard is provided with a third slide corresponding to the water pipe seat, and the lower part of the water pipe seat slides within the third slide.
[0013] Optionally, a waterproof bearing is fixedly embedded in the water pipe seat, and one end of the water valve connector is fixed inside the waterproof bearing.
[0014] Optionally, both the inlet and outlet pipes are provided with outward flanges, and a fixing bolt is rotatably fitted on the outward flanges. The threaded end of the fixing bolt passes through the outward flanges and engages with the threaded part of the water pipe seat.
[0015] Optionally, the test platform is equipped with a water collection tank, and the height of the inner wall of the bottom of the water collection tank gradually decreases from the end near the center of the test platform to the end near the outer side of the test platform. A drain valve connected to the water collection tank is connected to the test platform, and a raised frame is provided at the bottom of the test platform.
[0016] A testing method for an electronic water valve includes the following steps:
[0017] Step 1: Place the electronic water valve to be tested on the test bench, and then turn on the first drive mechanism to drive the two clamping plates to slide towards each other, clamping and positioning the water valve to be tested.
[0018] Step 2: Connect the inlet and outlet water pipes to the electronic water valve to be tested through the water valve connector, and then connect the end of the inlet water pipe away from the water valve connector to the intelligent pressurized water pump.
[0019] Step 3: Connect the smart water pressure gauge, smart water flow rate gauge, electronic water valve to be tested, and smart booster pump to the smart computer.
[0020] Step four: The intelligent computer controls the opening of the electronic water valve and the intelligent booster pump under test, and monitors the water pressure and water flow rate of the electronic water valve under test in real time through the intelligent water pressure gauge and the intelligent water flow rate gauge. When the water pressure and water flow rate reach the set threshold, the intelligent computer controls the closing of the electronic water valve and the intelligent booster pump under test. If the water pressure and water flow rate do not reach the set threshold, the water pressure drops, and the intelligent computer also controls the closing of the electronic water valve and the intelligent booster pump under test.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the following advantages at the same time:
[0022] By driving the two clamping plates to slide horizontally towards each other through the first driving mechanism, the electronic water valve under test can be quickly positioned and clamped in the center, keeping the axis of the electronic water valve under test on the same plane as the axes of the inlet and outlet pipes. The height of the inlet and outlet pipes can be adjusted by setting a second electric push rod, and then the inlet and outlet pipes can be quickly connected to the electronic water valve under test by the first electric push rod. By connecting a smart water pressure gauge to the inlet pipe and a smart water flow rate gauge to the outlet pipe, it is convenient to monitor the flow rate of the water pressure on the electronic water valve under test in real time.

[0034] The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides an electronic water valve testing device and its testing method, including a test platform 1, two clamping plates 2 that slide horizontally in opposite directions on the test platform 1, a first driving mechanism 3 for driving the two clamping plates 2 to slide horizontally in opposite directions on the bottom surface of the test platform 1, two sliding plates 4 that slide horizontally in opposite directions on the test platform 1, a first electric push rod 5 for driving the sliding plates 4 to slide on the bottom surface of the test platform 1, a water pipe seat 6 that slides vertically in opposite directions on the sliding plate 4, a second electric push rod 16 for driving the water pipe seat 6 to slide on the sliding plate 4, a water valve connector 7 that rotatably engages with the water pipe seat 6, an inlet pipe 8 and an outlet pipe 9 that are respectively connected to the two water pipe seats 6, a smart water pressure gauge 10 connected to the inlet pipe 8, and a smart water flow rate gauge 11 connected to the outlet pipe 9.
[0036] By driving the two clamping plates 2 to slide horizontally towards each other through the first driving mechanism 3, it is easy to quickly position the electronic water valve under test and clamp it in the center, keeping the axis of the electronic water valve under test on the same plane as the axes of the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9. The height of the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9 is adjusted by setting the second electric push rod 16, and then the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9 are quickly connected to the electronic water valve under test by the first electric push rod 5. By connecting the intelligent water pressure gauge 10 to the inlet pipe 8 and the intelligent water flow rate gauge 11 to the outlet pipe 9, it is easy to monitor the flow rate of the water pressure on the electronic water valve under test in real time.
[0037] In this embodiment, the test bench 1 is provided with a first slide rail 101 corresponding to the clamping plate 2. The clamping plate 2 includes an L-shaped plate 201 for blocking the first slide rail 101 and a T-shaped sliding plate 202 connected to the bottom surface of the L-shaped plate 201. The upper part of the T-shaped sliding plate 202 slides within the first slide rail 101, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the clamping plate 2 sliding on the test bench 1 and facilitates the blocking of the first slide rail 101 by the L-shaped plate 201. This also helps to prevent unqualified electronic water valves from leaking water through the test bench 1 and falling onto the electrical components of the equipment, causing damage to the electrical components.
[0038] In this embodiment, anti-slip pads 203 are provided on the inner sides of both L-shaped plates 201 to facilitate the improvement of the stability of the positioning of the electronic water valve under test.
[0039] The first driving mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a dual-axis extension motor 301 mounted on the bottom surface of the test bench 1 and two threaded pull rods 302 respectively mounted on both ends of the output shaft of the dual-axis extension motor 301. The two threaded pull rods 302 are threadedly engaged with two T-shaped sliding plates 202 respectively. The threads of the two threaded pull rods 302 are opposite, which makes it easy to turn on the dual-axis extension motor 301 to drive the two threaded pull rods 302 to drive the two clamping plates 2 to slide towards each other, thereby clamping and positioning the electronic water valve to be tested through the two clamping plates 2.
[0040] In this embodiment, the test bench 1 is provided with a second slide rail 102 corresponding to the sliding plate 4. The sliding plate 4 includes a slide plate 401 for blocking the second slide rail 102 and a T-shaped plate 402 disposed on the bottom surface of the slide plate 401. The upper part of the T-shaped plate 402 is slidably engaged in the second slide rail 102, and the lower part of the T-shaped plate 402 is fixed on the output end of the first electric push rod 5. This facilitates the passage of the T-shaped plate 402, improves the stability of the sliding plate 4 on the test bench 1, and facilitates the blocking of the first slide rail 101 by the slide plate 401. This also helps to prevent unqualified electronic water valves from leaking water through the test bench 1 and falling onto the electrical components of the equipment, causing damage to the electrical components.
[0041] In this embodiment, the slide plate 401 is provided with a third slide rail 403 corresponding to the water pipe seat 6, and the lower part of the water pipe seat 6 is slidably fitted in the third slide rail 403, which facilitates the water pipe seat 6 to slide on the slide plate 401 and facilitates the adjustment of the height of the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9.
[0042] In this embodiment, a waterproof bearing 601 is fixedly embedded in the water pipe seat 6, and one end of the water valve connector 7 is fixed in the waterproof bearing 601, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the rotation of the water valve connector 7.
[0043] In this embodiment, both the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9 are provided with outward flanges. A fixing bolt 12 is rotatably fitted on the outward flange. The threaded end of the fixing bolt 12 passes through the outward flange and is threadedly engaged with the water pipe seat 6, so that the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9 can be fixed on the water pipe seat 6 by the fixing bolt 12.
[0044] In this embodiment, the test bench 1 is provided with a water collection tank 13, and the height of the bottom inner wall of the water collection tank 13 gradually decreases from the end near the center of the test bench 1 to the end near the outer side of the test bench 1. A drain valve 14 connected to the water collection tank 13 is provided on the test bench 1. A raised frame 15 is provided at the bottom of the test bench 1 to facilitate the collection of water leaking from the unqualified electronic water valve through the water collection tank 13, to facilitate the drainage of water in the water collection tank 13 through the drain valve 14, and to facilitate the raising of the test bench 1 through the raised frame 15.
[0045] A testing method for an electronic water valve includes the following steps:
[0046] Step 1: Place the electronic water valve to be tested on the test bench 1, then turn on the first drive mechanism 3 to drive the two clamping plates 2 to slide towards each other, clamping and positioning the water valve to be tested. Turn on the dual-shaft extension motor 301 to drive the two threaded pull rods 302 to drive the two clamping plates 2 to slide towards each other, thereby clamping and positioning the electronic water valve to be tested through the two clamping plates 2.
[0047] Step 2: Connect the inlet pipe 8 and outlet pipe 9 to the electronic water valve under test through the water valve connector 7. Then, connect the end of the inlet pipe 8 away from the water valve connector 7 to the intelligent pressurized water pump. Turn on the second electric push rod 16 to adjust the height of the inlet pipe 8 and outlet pipe 9 so that the inlet pipe 8 and outlet pipe 9 can be connected to the electronic water valve under test through the water valve connector 7. Then, turn on the first electric push rod 5 to move the water valve connector 7 closer to the electronic water valve under test so that the water valve connector 7 can be connected to the electronic water valve under test, thereby improving the connection efficiency of the electronic water valve under test.
[0048] Step 3: Connect the smart water pressure gauge 10, smart water flow rate gauge 11, electronic water valve under test, and smart booster pump to the smart computer. This will allow the smart computer to control the smart water pressure gauge 10, smart water flow rate gauge 11, electronic water valve under test, and smart booster pump, thus avoiding the hassle of manually turning each device on and off.
[0049] Step four: The electronic water valve and intelligent booster pump under test are turned on by the intelligent computer control. The intelligent water pressure gauge 10 and intelligent water flow rate gauge 11 monitor the water pressure and water flow rate of the electronic water valve under test in real time. When the water pressure and water flow rate reach the set threshold, the intelligent computer controls the electronic water valve and intelligent booster pump to shut down. If the electronic water valve under test can meet the qualified water pressure and water flow standards, it means that the electronic water valve under test is a qualified product. If the water pressure drops when the set threshold for water pressure and water flow rate is not reached, the intelligent computer also controls the electronic water valve and intelligent booster pump to shut down. If the water pressure drops when the set threshold for water pressure and water flow rate is not reached, it means that the electronic water valve under test is broken and is a defective product.

Anyone should understand that structural changes made under the guidance of this invention, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this invention, fall within the protection scope of this invention.
