[0022] Refer to the following Figure 1 to Figure 2 , describes a spring-loaded buffer reciprocating sealing performance test device, including a reciprocating mechanism 10, an elastic component, a buffer component 30, and a high-temperature and high-pressure pump group 50.

[0023] The reciprocating mechanism 10 includes a cylinder 11 and a piston rod 12 that slides vertically inside the cylinder 11. A sealed chamber 13 located between the cylinder 11 and the piston rod 12 is provided inside the cylinder 11. Annular seals 15 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the sealed chamber 13, respectively. The annular seal 15 is located between the piston rod 12 and the cylinder 11. Further, the cylinder 11 is provided with an annular groove for the annular seal 15 to be embedded. The inner side of the annular seal fits the piston rod to ensure the sealing of the sealed chamber.

[0024] The sealed chamber 13 is provided with a pressure sensor 14, which can measure the pressure in the sealed chamber 13. The cylinder 11 is connected with a plurality of tension pressure sensors 16, the upper end of which is fixedly arranged, and the lower end of which is connected to the cylinder 11. It can be understood that the piston rod 12 slides vertically inside the cylinder 11, and there is friction between the piston rod 12 and the cylinder 11 with two annular seals 15. Therefore, the value measured by the tension pressure sensor 16 is the friction of the annular seal 15 plus the gravity of the cylinder 11. After removing the gravity of the cylinder 11, the friction of the annular seal 15 can be obtained.

[0025] The elastic component includes at least one elastic member 21, the upper end of the elastic member 21 is fixedly arranged, the lower end of the elastic member 21 is directly or indirectly connected to the upper end of the piston rod 12, and the elastic member 21 applies a downward elastic force to the piston rod 12. Specifically, the elastic member 21 is a compression spring, and after the elastic member 21 is squeezed, the elastic member 21 will apply a downward elastic force to the piston rod 12.

[0026] The buffer assembly 30 is located below the reciprocating mechanism 10, and includes a buffer 31 located below the piston rod 12, and a buffer chamber 32 is provided inside the buffer 31.

[0027] Combination Figure 2 The high-temperature and high-pressure pump group 50 includes an oil chamber 511, an oil delivery pipe 521 for delivering the oil in the oil chamber 511 to the sealing chamber 13, and an oil return pipe 531 for returning the oil in the sealing chamber 13 to the oil chamber 511, and the buffer chamber 32 is connected to the oil return pipe 531.

[0028] The oil delivery pipe 521 delivers the oil in the oil chamber 511 to the sealed chamber 13. The oil delivery pipe 521 is provided with a hydraulic pump 523, a one-way valve, a heating circuit 524 and a first stop valve 522 in sequence. The hydraulic pump 523 is used to extract the oil in the oil chamber 511, so as to pump the oil into the sealed chamber 13; the heating circuit 524 is used to heat the oil in the oil delivery pipe 521, and the first stop valve 522 is provided at the outlet end of the oil delivery pipe 521. The oil delivery pipe 521 is provided with a temperature and pressure flowmeter 526 to monitor the temperature, pressure and flow of the oil in the oil delivery pipe 521. The temperature and pressure flowmeter 526 is specifically provided between the heating circuit 524 and the first stop valve 522. In addition, the oil delivery pipe 521 is provided with an accumulator 525 between the heating circuit 524 and the first stop valve 522 to reduce the pressure fluctuation of the oil in the oil delivery pipe 521. The oil delivery pipe 521 is provided with an overflow branch pipe connected to the oil return pipe 531 , and the overflow branch pipe is provided with a first overflow valve 527 .

[0029] The buffer chamber 32 is connected to the oil return pipe 531 through the connecting branch pipe 541, so as to connect the buffer chamber 32 with the sealing chamber 13. The oil return pipe 531 is provided with a second overflow valve 533. The inlet end of the oil return pipe 531 is provided with a second stop valve 532, which is arranged in the pipe section between the second overflow valve 533 of the oil return pipe 531 and the connecting branch pipe 541.

[0030] One end of the overflow branch pipe is connected to the pipe section between the one-way valve and the heating circuit 524 of the oil delivery pipe 521, and the other end of the overflow branch pipe is connected to the pipe section after the second overflow valve 533 of the oil return pipe 531. It can be understood that after closing the first stop valve 522, the oil in the oil delivery pipe 521 can flow from the overflow branch pipe to the oil return pipe 531.

[0031] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the oil chamber 511 is provided with a liquid level meter 512 , the oil suction port of the oil delivery pipe 521 is provided with a first filter 528 , and the oil outlet of the oil return pipe 531 is provided with a second filter 534 .

[0032] In this embodiment, the spring-loaded buffer reciprocating sealing performance test device further includes a lifting assembly 40 to lift the piston rod 12. Specifically, the lifting assembly 40 includes a lifting plate 41 and a plurality of lifting cylinders 42, the upper end of the piston rod 12 is fixed to the lower end surface of the lifting plate 41, the lower end of the elastic member 21 is fixed to the upper end surface of the lifting plate 41, the lifting cylinders 42 are distributed on the outer periphery of the piston rod 12, and the driving end of the lifting cylinder 42 is connected to the lifting plate 41.

[0033] In addition, a limit block 43 that can move laterally is provided below the lifting plate 41 to limit the lifting plate 41 after lifting. Each limit block 43 has a limit state and a release state by moving laterally; in the limit state, the limit block 43 is stuck at the bottom of the lifting plate 41; in the release state, the limit block 43 is away from the lifting plate 41, and the lifting plate 41 can move up and down. The limit block 43 is driven by a hydraulic cylinder in this embodiment, which is not shown in the figure. In other embodiments, the limit block 43 can also be driven laterally by a motor in conjunction with a transmission mechanism. The lateral drive of the limit block 43 can be achieved by a structure well known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] In the release state, the lifting cylinder 42 is actuated to push the lifting plate 41 upward, and drives the piston rod 12 to move upward, while squeezing the elastic member 21. After squeezing to the set position, the hydraulic cylinder pushes the limit block 43 to extend. Figure 1 In the position state shown, at this time, the limit block 43 is stuck at the bottom of the lifting plate 41, the lifting plate 41 cannot move downward, and the elastic member 21 is in a compressed state, which is the limit state of the limit block 43. Then the lifting cylinder 42 is retracted, and the elastic member 21 pushes the piston rod 12 to impact downward, simulating the high-speed impact condition of the aircraft, and after the impact, the buffer 31 below is generated, and a pressure pulse is generated in the buffer oil chamber 32, which is connected to the inside of the cylinder 11 through the connecting branch pipe 541 to simulate the pulse condition.

[0035] The pressure sensor measures the pressure in the sealed oil chamber. An annular seal is set between the piston rod and the cylinder. The value measured by the tension pressure sensor is the friction force of the annular seal plus the gravity of the cylinder. The friction force of the annular seal can be obtained after removing the gravity of the cylinder. The above operation is repeated to test the performance of the buffer seal.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, the hydraulic pump 523 pumps the oil in the oil chamber 511 through the first filter 528, then heats it through the heating circuit 524, and then sends it into the sealed chamber 13. During this period, the temperature, pressure and flow-related parameters of the oil in the oil pipe 521 can be monitored by the temperature and pressure flowmeter 526. When the specified pressure is reached, the first overflow valve 527 opens, and the oil pumped out by the hydraulic pump 523 directly returns to the oil cylinder through the first overflow valve 527 to avoid excessive pressure.

[0037] After reaching the specified pressure, the first stop valve 522 and the second stop valve 532 are closed, and the pressure of the second stop valve 532 is maintained. Then, the lifting cylinder 42 is actuated to push the lifting plate 41 up, and drive the piston rod 12 to move upward, while squeezing the elastic member 21. After squeezing to the set position, the hydraulic cylinder pushes the limit block 43 to extend, and then retracts the lifting cylinder 42. After the lifting cylinder 42 is reset, the limit block 43 is released, and the elastic member 21 pushes the piston rod 12 to impact downward, simulating the high-speed impact condition of the aircraft. After the impact, a pressure pulse is generated in the buffer 31 below and in the buffer oil chamber 32, which is connected to the inside of the cylinder 11 through the connecting branch pipe 541 to simulate the pulse condition.

[0038] The pressure in the sealed chamber 13 is measured by the pressure sensor 14. An annular seal is set between the piston rod and the cylinder. The value measured by the tension pressure sensor 16 is the friction force of the annular seal 15 plus the gravity of the cylinder 11. After removing the gravity of the cylinder 11, the friction force of the annular seal 15 can be obtained. The above operation is repeated to test the performance of the buffer seal.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
