Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pressure and flow detection technology, and in particular to a testing machine and method for testing the opening pressure and flow of a spray hook assembly. Background Technology
[0002] The opening pressure values of the steel balls in the spray hook assembly vary, ranging from approximately 1.5 to 2 bar. The one-way valve components have errors in machining accuracy, and their opening pressures have upper and lower limit deviations, typically ±10%.
[0003] Currently, there are two main types of equipment on the market for testing the opening pressure of the steel ball in the spray hook assembly: one is a fixed-displacement pump with a fixed-speed motor for loading, and a proportional valve for pressure regulation in the pressure oil circuit; the other is a fixed-displacement pump with a variable-speed motor, which changes the pressure by changing the speed of the variable-speed motor. However, both of these types of equipment are expensive and have low testing efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a testing machine and method for testing the opening pressure and flow rate of a spray hook assembly in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. After detecting whether the spray hook is qualified, it can also test the flow rate through the spray hook under a specific pressure, thereby reducing costs and improving testing efficiency.
[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A testing machine for the opening pressure and flow rate of a spray hook assembly includes an oil tank, a hydraulic pump, a speed control valve, a pressure sensor, a first two-position three-way solenoid directional valve, a first relief valve, a check valve, a pressure relay, a spray hook under test, a second two-position three-way solenoid directional valve, a first flow meter, a second flow meter, and a second relief valve. The input end of the hydraulic pump extends into the oil tank via a pipe. The output end of the hydraulic pump is sealed to the input end of the speed control valve via a pipe. The output end of the speed control valve is sealed to the input end of the first two-position three-way solenoid directional valve via a pipe. One output end of the first two-position three-way solenoid directional valve is sealed to the input end of the check valve via a pipe. The other output end of the first two-position three-way solenoid directional valve and the output end of the check valve are both sealed to the two ports of a three-way pipe via pipes. The third port of the three-way pipe is sealed to the input end of the spray hook under test via a pipe. The output end of the spray hook under test is... The pipeline is sealed to the input end of the second two-position three-way solenoid directional valve. The two input ends of the second two-position three-way solenoid directional valve are respectively sealed to the input ends of the first flow meter and the second flow meter through pipelines. The output ends of the first flow meter and the second flow meter are respectively extended into the oil tank through pipelines. The pipeline between the hydraulic pump and the speed control valve is sealed to the input end of the second relief valve. The output end of the second relief valve is extended into the oil tank through a pipeline. The pipeline between the first two-position three-way solenoid directional valve and the check valve is sealed to the input end of the first relief valve. The output end of the first relief valve is extended into the oil tank through a pipeline. The pipeline between the three-way pipe and the measured spray hook is sealed to the input end of the pressure relay. The first two-position three-way solenoid directional valve normally connects to the pipeline where the check valve is located, and the second two-position three-way solenoid directional valve normally connects to the pipeline where the second flow meter is located.
[0007] Preferably, a filter is installed on the pipeline between the hydraulic pump and the oil tank.
[0008] Preferably, the hydraulic pump is driven by the motor.
[0009] A method for testing the opening pressure and flow rate of a spray hook assembly, using the aforementioned tester for the opening pressure and flow rate of a spray hook assembly, specifically includes a method for testing the opening pressure of the spray hook and a method for testing the flow rate of the spray hook.
[0010] Preferably, the test method for the opening pressure of the spray hook is as follows:
[0011] ① Before the test, adjust the pressure relay to the minimum opening pressure of the spray hook under test, and adjust the first overflow valve to the maximum opening pressure of the spray hook under test.
[0012] ② Start the hydraulic pump to draw oil from the oil tank. The oil in the oil tank passes through the filter, hydraulic pump, speed controller, first and second two-position three-way solenoid directional valve, and check valve in sequence to reach the input end of the spray hook to be tested.
[0013] ③ When the test pressure is lower than the minimum pressure, the steel ball of the spray hook assembly opens, and the spray hook under test does not meet the requirements. At this time, the first flow meter will not show a reading, but the second flow meter will show a reading.
[0014] If the steel ball of the spray hook assembly still does not open when the test pressure is higher than the maximum pressure, the spray hook under test does not meet the requirements. At this time, the first overflow valve opens, the oil flows back to the oil tank, the first flow meter has no reading, and the second flow meter has no reading.
[0015] When the test pressure is between the minimum and maximum pressure, the steel ball of the spray hook assembly opens, indicating that the spray hook under test meets the requirements. At this time, the pressure relay is triggered, the second two-position three-way solenoid valve is energized, the first flow meter shows a reading, and the second flow meter does not show a reading.
[0016] Preferably, the method for testing the flow rate of the spray hook is as follows:
[0017] ① The tested spray hook meets the requirements. The second overflow valve is used as a safety valve. The pressure sensor displays the system pressure in real time.
[0018] ② When the first and second two-position three-way solenoid directional valves are energized, the system pressure is adjusted to a specific pressure by adjusting the speed control valve. The reading of the first flow meter is the flow rate through the measured spray hook under the specific pressure.
[0019] ③ After the test is completed, the first and second position three-way solenoid valves are de-energized, and the testing machine enters the next test cycle;
[0020] ④ The worker replaces the spray hook being tested and proceeds with the next test.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: after testing whether the spray hook is qualified, a set of testing machines can directly test the flow rate through the spray hook under a specific pressure, which reduces the equipment investment cost and improves the testing efficiency, thus meeting the usage requirements.
