DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] Embodiment 1:
[0030] See also Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: Figure 1-2 As shown, a vacuum extraction and detection integrated device includes at least one detection cup 1, and the detection cup 1 includes an embedded ring 11 and a vent portion 12 with a circular cross-section. The embedded ring 11 is fixedly connected to the vent portion 12 in an integral manner. The embedded ring 11 is used to seal the outer wall of the heat exchange tube and is fixed by interference fit. A vent hole 121 communicating with the embedded ring 11 is opened in the middle of the vent portion 12, and the vent hole 121 is used to connect the exhaust pipe. A pressure gauge 2 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the vent portion 12. The pressure gauge 2 passes through the vent portion 12 and communicates with the vent hole 121, and is used to detect the gas pressure inside the heat exchange tube connected to the embedded ring 11 to confirm whether the heat exchange tube is leaking; a groove is opened at the end of the embedded ring 11 away from the vent portion 11, and a pressure ring 111 is embedded in the groove to seal the end of the embedded ring 11; the detection cup 1 is preferably made of organic glass.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a vertically placed auxiliary detection device 9 for clamping more detection cups 1 to improve detection efficiency; the auxiliary detection device 9 includes a supporting device 8, no less than two clamping devices 4 and no less than two adjusting devices 3, the clamping device 4 is slidably connected to the supporting device 8, and the adjusting device 3 is movably installed on the supporting device 8 and arranged at intervals with the clamping device 4;
[0032] like Figure 3-6 As shown, the supporting device 8 includes a pair of fixing plates 81, a base plate 82 and a pair of connecting rods 83. One end of the pair of connecting rods 83 is vertically fixedly connected to the base plate 82, and the other end is vertically fixedly connected to the fixing plate 81. The fixing plate 81 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes for fixing with the tube plate 10. The connecting rods 83 are provided with a plurality of adjusting holes 85, and an auxiliary plate 86 is extended from the side away from the fixing plate 81. The auxiliary plate 86 corresponds to the adjusting hole 85. One of the fixing plates 81 is used as the head section, and the other fixing plate 81 is used as the tail end, and the tail end is close to the ground.
[0033] The clamping device 4 includes a sliding block 41 and a clamping portion 42. The sliding block 41 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the substrate 82. The side of the substrate 82 away from the clamping portion 42 does not fit the inner wall of the sliding block 41 (see Figure 5 ), so that the substrate 82 has a certain movable space in the inner wall of the sliding block 41; the clamping portion 42 is detachably fixedly connected to one end of the sliding block 41, and the other end of the sliding block 41 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 5. An isolation plate 411 extends from one side of the sliding block 41 toward the tail end, and the isolation plate 411 is rotatably connected to the gap plate 43. The gap plate 43 can be rotated from a direction perpendicular to the substrate 82 to a direction away from the sliding block 41 by gravity, and the end of the gap plate 43 close to the substrate 82 is fixedly connected to a roller; the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to a plurality of limit plates 51, and the number of the limit plates 51 is the same as that of the limit plates 51. The isolation plate 411 corresponds to and fits with the end of the isolation plate 411, so that when the limiting plate 51 is driven to rotate and disengage from the isolation plate 411 by the rotating rod 5, and when the base plate 82 is placed vertically, the gap plate 43 loses the limit of the limiting plate 51 and rotates under the action of gravity, so that the gap plate 43 and the base plate 82 are separated, and the clamping part 42 can be driven to move horizontally by operating the sliding block 41. When the limiting plate 51 fits with the isolation plate 411, the sliding block 41 is restricted from moving in the vertical direction of the base plate 82; the clamping part 42 is in an arc shape, so as to use the arc shape to clamp the outer wall of the detection cup 1 (see Figure 3 ); The rotating rod 5 extends to both ends close to the connecting rod 83 to control more limit plates 51;
[0034] The adjusting device 3 includes an adjusting plate 31, a moving plate 32 and a rotating wheel 33. The adjusting plate 31 includes a curved plate 311 and a straight plate 312 that are fixedly connected. The curved plate 311 passes through the adjusting hole 85 and is placed between adjacent clamping portions 42 and matches the curvature of the clamping portions 42. The width of the curved plate 311 gradually decreases in the direction away from the base plate 82. The straight plate 312 drives the curved plate 311 to slide through the adjusting hole 85. The moving plate 32 is L-shaped, one end of which is fixedly connected to the end of the straight plate 312 away from the base plate 82, and the other end passes through the auxiliary plate 86 and further extends. The middle part of the side away from the adjustment plate 31 is meshed with the rotating wheel 33, and the rotation of the rotating wheel 33 drives the movable plate 32 and the adjustment plate 31 to move along the length direction of the movable plate 32, so as to adjust the spacing between adjacent clamping parts 42 by using the gradual change of the span of the curved plate 311; the two sides of the rotating wheel 33 are slidably connected with fixed rods, and the fixed rods are fixedly connected with the auxiliary plate 86, and the middle part of the rotating wheel 33 is meshed with a control rod 6, which extends toward both ends to the position close to the connecting rod 83, so as to control more rotating wheels 33, and is located on both sides of the straight plate 312 with the rotating rod 5;
[0035] like Figure 3-4As shown, one end of the control rod 6 faces the head end and is fixedly connected to a turntable, and the other end is rotatably connected to a support plate 84, and the support plate 84 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 81. One end of the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to a handle, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support plate 84; the support plate 84 provides stable support for the rotating rod 5 and the control rod 6 during rotation;
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the support plate 84 is rotatably connected to the fastening device 7, and the fastening device 7 includes an abutment portion 71 and an abutment rod 72. The outer wall of the abutment rod 72 is provided with a thread for threaded connection with the support plate 84. One end of the abutment rod 72 is fixedly connected to a handle 1, and the other end passes through the support plate 84 and is fixedly connected to the abutment portion 71. The abutment rod 72 is rotated to drive the abutment portion 71 close to the abutment sliding block 41 to abut against the two sides of the sliding block 41, or to move away from the sliding block 41.
[0037] Working principle: the abutting portion 71 is attached to the support plate 84, the curved plate 311 does not contact the clamping portion 32, as the initial state, and one end of the heat exchange tube is sealed; when in use, the fixed plate 81 is placed on the ground, and the rotating rod 5 is rotated so that the limit plate 51 is attached to the gap plate 43, forcing the gap plate 43 to be perpendicular to the base plate 82, and the roller at the end of the gap plate 43 can ensure that the sliding block 41 can slide along the length direction of the base plate 82;
[0038] Confirm the spacing between adjacent vertical heat exchange tubes, rotate the control rod 6, and drive the rotating wheel 33 to rotate through the rotating rod 6. The rotating wheel 33 drives the movable plate 32 and the adjusting plate 31 to move toward the clamping part 42. The width of the curved plate 311 can be used to separate the adjacent clamping parts 42, so that the distance between the adjacent clamping parts is the same as the vertical heat exchange tube spacing. At this time, the clamping part 42 is in contact with the adjacent curved plate 311; turn the handle 1, and drive the abutment part 71 to move toward the adjacent sliding block 41 through the rotation of the abutment rod 72 until the sliding block 41 is abutted to complete the positioning of the clamping part 42; then clamp the detection cup 1 in the clamping part 42. If there are many detection cups 1 and they are piled up together, the fixed plate 81 can be pushed to move toward the accumulation place of the detection cups 1, and the required detection cups 1 can be directly clamped into the clamping part 42 at the same time. With the movement of the base plate 82, the clamping part 42 at the head end may move a certain distance toward the fixed plate 81, which does not need to be processed and will be automatically reset later;
[0039] The base plate 82 holding the detection cup 1 is fixed vertically on the tube plate 10. At this time, the clamping part 42 near the head end will automatically slide downward under the action of gravity and fit the curved plate 311 to complete the automatic reset. The clamping part 42 is located between the adjacent vertical heat exchange tubes, so that the embedded ring 11 of the detection cup 1 has a slight deviation from the corresponding heat exchange tube. Because there is a certain error in the spacing between the heat exchange tubes, the embedded ring 11 cannot be 100% completely matched with the heat exchange tube, and manual alignment is required; taking the base plate 82 as a reference, the left side is toward the clamping part 42, and the right side is toward the straight plate 312, then the pre-detected heat exchange tube is located on the left side of the clamping part 42, and the rotating rod 5 is rotated in the opposite direction to disengage the limit plate 51 from the gap plate 43, and the gap plate 43 automatically moves from the vertical position with the base plate 82. The operator can move the clamping part 42 to the left, and at the same time make the clamping part 42 away from the curved plate 311, so that the clamping part 42 has a certain movable space up and down. In the limited movable space, align the detection cup 1 with the other end of the heat exchange tube, and then sleeve it on the outer wall of the heat exchange tube through interference fit until the pressure ring 111 abuts against the tube sheet 10, which is used for sealing and prevents external gas from entering and affecting the detection effect; the exhaust pipe is sealed and connected to the vent hole to extract the gas inside the heat exchange tube until the vacuum state is reached, and observe whether the pressure gauge 2 changes under the vacuum state. If not, the heat exchange tube does not leak, otherwise it leaks; and so on, sleeve the clamping part 42 on the lower side of the base plate 82 on the other end of the corresponding heat exchange tube for detection;
[0040] Since the heat exchange tubes have different specifications, the spacing can be adjusted by the cooperation between the clamping device 4 and the rotating rod 5, and the cooperation between the adjusting device 3 and the control rod 6; and then the clamping part 42 is replaced to adapt to heat exchange tubes of different specifications.
