Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of valve sealing detection, and in particular to a valve sealing detection machine and a detection method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Valves are pipeline accessories that open and close pipelines, control flow direction, and regulate and control the transported medium. At present, according to the function of the valve, it can generally be divided into shut-off valves, check valves and regulating valves.
[0003] However, since valves are important control components in fluid delivery systems, valve sealing testing is essential during the valve production process. Valve sealing testing mainly detects defects such as damage and cracks on the inner wall of the valve body that affect the sealing of the valve body. Nowadays, valve sealing testing is mainly completed with the help of sealing testing machines, such as a sealing testing device for valve production disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN117168707B.
[0004] Still taking the above patent as an example, when the sealing machine is testing the invention, the valve needs to be fixed. Nowadays, the valve is mainly fixed by clamping the valve body itself. However, after clamping, the clamping mechanism contacts the surface of the valve body. Therefore, if there is a crack in the part where the valve body and the clamping mechanism contact, it will not be detected smoothly and is not easy to observe, so it will affect the test results.
[0005] Second, currently when testing the sealing performance of valves, the valve ports at both ends of the valve are mainly sealed. When the valve is immersed in a test pool, air is inflated into the valve to determine the sealing performance of the valve by observing whether bubbles are generated in the test pool. However, such a testing method is relatively simple, and some cracks cannot be detected by inflating air into the valve (hereinafter referred to as: inflation testing method). Therefore, there are loopholes in the test results.
[0006] Third, when using the inflation detection method, the entire valve cavity needs to be filled before the detection results can be observed. However, for some valves with larger valve cavities, the inflation process will be prolonged, thus affecting the efficiency of the detection.
[0007] Fourth, since the valve body needs to be immersed in the detection pool during the detection process, the impurities in the detection pool will gradually increase over time, thus affecting the observation effect.
[0008] In summary, it is necessary to make necessary improvements to the existing valve sealing detection machine. Summary of the invention

A reduced diameter structure in the shape of a frustum of a cone is formed at one end of the clamping body. When the valve body is clamped by the clamping body, the reduced diameter structure enters from both ends of the valve body and simultaneously guides the valve body to contact the adsorption port at the end of the clamping body and separates the valve body from the support seat;
[0057] An inlet liquid structure is further provided on the installation table. The inlet liquid structure includes:
[0058] A clamping joint is telescopically movable in a telescopic groove forming the installation table through a compression spring, and has an inlet liquid chamber communicated with the liquid spraying port through a second liquid pipe;
[0059] The limiting part is arranged around the card joint in the circumferential direction and contacts the mounting platform when the card joint descends;
[0060] Wherein, a clamping groove adapted to the clamping joint is formed on the spray body, and a one-way valve connected to the spray chamber is installed on the groove body of the clamping groove.
[0061] In addition, the present invention also provides a valve sealing detection method, which uses the above-mentioned valve sealing detection machine and is characterized in that it includes the following steps:
[0062] S1: When the first driving mechanism is activated, each mounting platform is alternately controlled to sink into the detection pool or float out of the detection pool;
[0063] S2 Valve Installation: When the mounting seat floats to the pool mouth of the detection pool, place the valve body on the support seat;
[0064] S3 fixation: the second driving mechanism controls the air nozzle structures to approach each other, fixes the valve body through the clamping body of the air nozzle structure, and forms an isolation cavity disconnected from the inflation branch and the exhaust branch in the valve body;
[0065] S4 air extraction test: after step S3 is completed, the first driving mechanism controls the mounting platform to sink into the test pool, at least one electromagnet of the air nozzle structure is energized, the air extraction branch is opened, and the air extraction source performs air extraction test on the valve body through the air extraction nozzle and the air extraction branch;
[0066] S5 inflation detection: After step S3 or step S4 is completed, the electromagnet of the air nozzle structure is powered off, the air supply branch is opened, and the air exhaust branch is closed at the same time. The air supply source performs inflation detection on the valve body through the air inlet nozzle and the air supply branch.
[0067] Preferably, in step S4, when the air extraction branch at one end of the valve body is opened and the air charging branch at the other end of the valve body is opened, the air extraction source and the air supply source can use the air extraction branch and the air charging branch at both ends of the valve body to clean the valve body, and the gas entering the valve body from the air charging branch is guided by the movable tube to flow around the valve cavity of the valve body and then discharged from the air extraction branch, thereby completing the cleaning of the valve cavity;
[0068] In step S5, the air extraction branch is closed, and the air extraction source adsorbs and fixes the valve body from both ends of the valve body through the air extraction nozzle, the adsorption cavity and the adsorption port.
[0069] The air extraction test in step S4 of the present invention is located before the air filling test in step S5 because, after the air extraction test, negative pressure is formed inside the valve body. During the air filling test in step S5, the negative pressure state formed in the valve body can facilitate the air supply pump to fill the valve body with air, so that the inflation can be completed faster.
[0070] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0071] 1. The present invention can improve the detection accuracy of the valve through inflation detection (inflating the valve cavity and judging by observing whether there are bubbles in the detection pool) and air extraction detection (extracting air from the valve cavity and judging by observing whether water enters the air flow cavity).
[0072] 2. When the present invention performs air extraction detection and inflation detection on the valve body, an isolation cavity is formed in the valve cavity by using the movable pipe (the limiting end of the air nozzle structure of the present invention). The isolation cavity reduces the regional space (or volume) of the valve cavity being inflated or air extracted, enabling rapid completion of inflation and air extraction, thereby improving the detection efficiency.
[0073] 3. The present invention uses the air nozzle structure to fix both ends of the valve, reducing the clamping on the outer circumferential wall of the valve. Therefore, the outer wall of the valve body is more fully exposed in the detection pool (or in contact with the water in the detection pool), thus ensuring the detection result;
[0074] 3.1 In order to ensure the convenience of feeding, when the present invention performs detection, the valve body can be directly placed on the support seat. When the air nozzle structure fixes both ends of the valve body, the valve body will separate from the support seat under the guidance of the clamping body necking structure, thus ensuring the detection result.
[0075] 4. The present invention takes into account the coherence of detection and feeding of the valve body to be detected. Two installation platforms can be set on both sides of the detection pool through the first driving structure. One installation platform sinks for detection, while the other installation platform floats for feeding, thus ensuring the coherence of detection.
[0076] 5. When the present invention detects the valve body, it can also clean the valve cavity of the valve body to avoid impurities in the valve cavity affecting the detection of the valve cavity. At the same time, the detection of the valve cavity of the present invention is also completed through the air nozzle structure. Therefore, the function of the air nozzle structure of the present invention is more comprehensive and there is no need to add a cleaning mechanism.
[0077] 6. In order to ensure the water quality in the detection pool, the present invention is provided with a water circulation component on the machine body. The water circulation component can filter and discharge the particulate impurities in the detection pool during the detection process of the valve body, that is, during the operation of the first driving mechanism, thereby ensuring the water quality in the detection pool and making it more convenient to observe the detection result;
[0078] 6.1 Moreover, when the valve body leaves the detection pool, in order to avoid residual impurities on the surface of the valve body, the air nozzle structure of the present invention can also clean the outer wall of the valve body and drive the valve body to rotate during the cleaning process, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0079] In addition, other advantages of the present invention will be demonstrated in the embodiment part of the present invention, making the beneficial effects of the present invention more significant. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0095] Embodiment 1
[0096] As Figures 1-3 shown, the present invention discloses a valve sealing detection machine, including:
[0097] A body 10 having a detection pool 100;
[0098] An inflation mechanism provided on the body 10 and composed of a nozzle structure 20 and a gas source assembly
[0099] An observation window 21 provided on the body 10. In this embodiment: a first driving mechanism and a second driving mechanism are further provided on the body 10;
[0100] Wherein, the nozzle structure 20 is provided on the second driving mechanism and can be controlled by the second driving mechanism to approach or move away from each other and fix the valve body from both ends of the valve port of the valve body;
[0101] The second driving mechanism is provided on the first driving mechanism and can be controlled by the first driving mechanism to lift up and enter or leave the detection pool 100;
[0102] The gas source assembly is composed of an air extraction source (air extraction pump) and a gas supply source (gas supply pump), and can extract or inflate the valve body through the nozzle structure 20.
[0103] In this embodiment: the first driving mechanism includes:
[0104] A plurality of first sprockets 11 rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the body 10 and circumferentially equidistantly spaced;
[0105] A plurality of second sprockets 12 rotatably connected to the other side of the inner wall of the body 10 and circumferentially equidistantly spaced;
[0106] A transmission chain composed of a first chain 131 drivingly connected between the first sprockets 11 and a second chain 132 drivingly connected between the second sprockets 12;
[0107] Among them, any first sprocket 11 and / or second sprocket 12 can be controlled by a motor to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and part of the first sprockets 11 and part of the second sprockets 12 can be mounted on the machine body 10 by means of brackets 14, and part of the first sprockets 11 and part of the second sprockets 12 are located inside the detection pool 100 (at a position close to the bottom of the detection pool 100).
[0108] In this embodiment: The second driving mechanism includes:
[0109] An installation table 30, which is arranged between the first chain 131 and the second chain 132. There are two installation tables 30 in this embodiment, and they are located on both sides of the machine body (side a and side b);
[0110] A chute 31, which is arranged on the installation table 30 and longitudinally penetrates the installation table 30;
[0111] A driving gear 32, which is rotatably connected to the installation table 30;
[0112] A driving rack, which is composed of a first rack 331 and a second rack 332 that are slidably connected to the installation table 30 and meshed with the driving gear 32;
[0113] A sliding seat 34, which is slidably connected to the installation table 30 and is connected to the first rack 331 or the second rack 332 through a limiting block that moves in the chute 31. There are two sliding seats 34 in this embodiment, and they are respectively connected to the first rack 331 or the second rack 332 through the limiting blocks that slide in the chute 31.
[0114] In this embodiment, a cylinder 35 for controlling the movement of the second rack 332 is further provided at the bottom of the installation table 30.
[0115] In this embodiment, the air nozzle structure 20 is that an air extraction nozzle 34a and an air supply nozzle 34b are provided on the sliding seat 34. The air extraction nozzle 34a is controlled by an air extraction pump to extract air, and the air supply nozzle 34b is controlled by an air supply pump to supply air.
[0116] Reference Figures 1-3 , the principle of this embodiment is: During detection, the valve body is placed on the installation table, and the two sliding seats are controlled to approach each other by the cylinder 35, and the valve body is clamped and both ends of the valve body are closed. At this time, the air supply nozzle and the air extraction nozzle are located on both sides of the valve cavity. After the first driving mechanism controls the installation seat to descend and enter the detection pool, the air supply pump and the air extraction pump are respectively used to supply air and extract air to the valve body, so as to complete the air supply detection and air extraction detection of the valve body; and, in this embodiment, the two ends of the valve body are fixed by the sliding seats, so that the outer wall of the valve body is exposed in the detection pool to ensure the detection effect.
[0117] It is worth mentioning that: during the detection of this embodiment, the valve body can be placed on the a side and the b side of the machine body. That is, when the mounting table on the a side rises, the mounting table on the b side descends into the detection pool, and vice versa. Therefore, feeding and detection can be carried out simultaneously to meet the current requirements for detection efficiency.
[0118] Embodiment 2, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that
[0119] As Figures 4-7 shown, the nozzle structure 20 of this embodiment has a limiting end. When the nozzle structure 20 fixes the valve body at both ends, the limiting end can form an isolation cavity 45b that cuts off the gas source assembly in the valve cavity.
[0120] In this embodiment, there are at least two nozzle structures on each mounting table 30. Each nozzle structure includes:
[0121] A clamping body 40, installed on one side of the sliding seat 34, and a sealing gasket can be arranged on one side to improve the sealing effect of the cooperation with the valve body;
[0122] An installation cavity, recessed from the end of the clamping body 40 away from the sliding seat 34;
[0123] A pressing body 41, fixed in the installation cavity, and having an air inlet nozzle 41a and an air extraction nozzle 41b;
[0124] An adsorption cavity 42, formed on the clamping body 40, and communicating with the air extraction nozzle 41b, and an adsorption port 42a communicating with the adsorption cavity 42 is formed at one end of the clamping body 40. An annular cavity 42b that communicates between the adsorption port 42a and the adsorption cavity 42 and extends circumferentially is formed on the clamping body 40;
[0125] A limiting cavity 43, recessed on the pressing body 41, and communicating with the air extraction nozzle 41b;
[0126] A movable cavity, arranged on the pressing body 41, and both ends penetrate through the pressing body 41 and communicate with the air inlet nozzle 41a;
[0127] A folding body 44, having a folding cavity 440, and connected to the limiting cavity 43 through a limiting tube 441;
[0128] A movable tube 45, connected to the cavity wall of the folding cavity 440, passing through the movable cavity, and having a communication port 450 that can communicate with the folding cavity 440 or the air inlet nozzle 41a;
[0129] A spring 46, installed between the folding body 44 and the cavity wall of the installation cavity;
[0130] An electromagnet 47, arranged on the clamping body 40, and attracting the folding body 44 to gradually unfold towards the electromagnet 47 when powered on. When the electromagnet 47 is powered off, the folding body 44 is driven by the spring 46 to contract;
[0131] Among them, when the folding body 44 is unfolded, the valve body is communicated with the air extraction nozzle 41b through an air extraction branch formed by the movable pipe 45, the communication port 450, the folding cavity 440, the limiting pipe 441 and the limiting cavity 43;
[0132] When the folding body 44 contracts, the valve body is communicated with the air inlet nozzle 41a through an air supply branch formed by the movable pipe 45 and the communication port 450;
[0133] The cross-section of the movable pipe 45 is semi-circular (or semi-circular), and air outlet holes 45a are formed on the outer wall, forming the limiting end of the air nozzle structure. When the movable pipes 45 on the air nozzle structures at both ends of the valve body cooperate, a cylindrical isolation body can be formed in the valve cavity, and the isolation cavity is the cavity formed by the isolation body, so as to reduce the space in the valve cavity to be inflated or evacuated, enabling rapid air extraction and inflation.
[0134] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 41c adapted to the end of the movable pipe 45 is further provided on the pressing body 41.
[0135] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 41d is provided on the outer wall of the pressing body 41.
[0136] Reference Figures 4-7 , in order to improve the detection efficiency in this embodiment, an air nozzle structure is provided on the sliding seat. The air nozzle structure in this embodiment can form an isolation cavity inside the valve cavity. More specifically:
[0137] As Figure 4 shown (for the separated state of the sliding seat, in this state, the valve body can be loaded and unloaded), the valve body can be directly sleeved on the movable pipe, and under the control of the second driving mechanism, the sliding seats approach each other and clamp both ends of the valve body through both ends of the clamping body (as Figure 5 described, for the state of clamping or fixing the valve body when the sliding seats approach);
[0138] When the valve body is fixed by the clamping body, the adsorption port on the clamping body contacts the side wall of one end of the valve body. When the air extraction pump is started, the two ends of the valve body can be adsorbed by using the adsorption cavity and the annular cavity, thereby improving the fixing effect;
[0139] Moreover, in this embodiment, when the electromagnet of the clamping body on the sliding seat on one side (such as the left side) is energized, it attracts the folding body to unfold, and makes the movable pipe move close to the electromagnet, so that the communication port on the movable pipe is communicated with the folding cavity. At this time, the air extraction nozzle of the energized air nozzle structure (left side) is communicated with the inside of the valve cavity 45c, and the air supply nozzle of the de-energized air nozzle structure (right side) is communicated with the valve cavity. When the air supply pump and the air extraction pump supply air and extract air to the two air nozzle structures respectively, the inner wall of the valve cavity is cleaned to avoid impurities affecting the detection result. Due to the shape of the movable pipe and the air outlet holes formed on its outer wall, when cleaning the valve body (referenceFigure 7 ), after the gas ejected from the air jet holes on one of the movable pipes (left side) can flow around the valve cavity from top to bottom, it is drawn out from the air jet holes on the other movable pipe (right side). Similarly, when the electromagnet of the nozzle structure on the right side is energized and the electromagnet of the nozzle structure on the left side is de-energized, the gas ejected from the air jet holes on the movable pipe flows into the valve cavity from bottom to top and is drawn out from the air jet holes on the other movable pipe. And in this embodiment, the cleaning effect on the valve cavity can be improved through two modes.
[0140] In the air extraction detection of this embodiment, the electromagnets of the nozzle structures at both ends of the valve cavity are energized, and the air extraction branch is opened and the air filling branch is closed, so as to complete the air extraction detection of the valve cavity.
[0141] In the air filling detection of this embodiment, the electromagnets of the nozzle structures at both ends of the valve cavity are de-energized, and the air filling branch is opened and the air extraction branch is closed, so as to complete the air filling detection of the valve cavity.
[0142] It should be noted that: since an isolation cavity (this cavity will not be affected by air extraction and air filling) is formed in the valve cavity in this embodiment, the air filling and air extraction of the valve cavity can be completed quickly. And compared with Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the same nozzle structure can complete both the air extraction work and the air filling work, so as to improve the detection efficiency of the valve.
[0143] Embodiment 3, the difference from Embodiment 2 is that:
[0144] As Figures 8-13 shown, in this embodiment: it further includes a water circulation component arranged on the machine body 10 and capable of being controlled by the first driving mechanism. Among them, the water circulation component includes:
[0145] A filter body 50, installed in the detection pool 100 and having a filter cavity;
[0146] A suction body 51, moving in the filter cavity and dividing the filter cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity;
[0147] A filter screen, composed of a first filter screen 521 arranged in the first cavity and a second filter screen 522 arranged in the second cavity. The first filter screen 521 and the second filter screen 522 divide the first cavity and the second cavity into an outer cavity 52a and an inner cavity 52b respectively;
[0148] A liquid inlet nozzle 53, arranged on the filter body 50 and communicating with the outer cavity 52a;

[0165] Reference Figures 8-13 , the principle of this embodiment is:
[0166] 1. Purification principle of the detection pool: In order to reduce the particulate impurities in the detection pool and facilitate observing the detection status of the valve body in this embodiment, a water circulation component is arranged at the bottom of the detection pool. When the first driving mechanism operates, the driving plate reciprocates between the sprockets in the detection pool, and the piston shaft is used to control the reciprocating movement of the suction body in the filter cavity. Due to the arrangement of the liquid inlet nozzle and the liquid outlet nozzle provided with one-way valves, when the suction body moves, the water in the detection pool can be pumped into the outer cavity, and after being filtered by the filter screen, it is discharged from the liquid outlet nozzle, thereby filtering the impurities in the detection pool, and the impurities in the outer cavity can be discharged by regularly opening the sewage discharge valve, so as to ensure the water quality in the detection pool;
[0167] The water discharged from the inner cavity is respectively sent into the liquid discharging body or the liquid spraying cavity through a liquid discharging pipe or a liquid pipe. The liquid discharging body returns the filtered water back to the detection pool, and the water flow entering the liquid spraying cavity can drive the air nozzle structure to rotate.
[0168] 2. Reference Figures 10-11 , when the water in the water circulation component is sent into the liquid spraying cavity, the water passes through the driving impeller and causes the driving impeller to rotate. Finally, the sprocket assembly is used to control the rotation of the rotating shaft, so that the air nozzle structure rotates. When the air nozzle structure fixes the valve body, the valve body can be controlled to rotate by using the air nozzle structure;
[0169] 2.1 Based on the rotation of the valve body, in this embodiment, the valve body can be controlled to rotate during detection, so as to improve the detection effect;
[0170] 2.2 Reference Figures 12-13, based on the rotation of the valve body, the present embodiment can clean the outer wall of the valve body after the detection is completed, that is: when the water circulation component is started and when the slide seat moves, the liquid spray structure also moves therewith until the clamping groove (formed at the output end of the liquid spray chamber) on the liquid spray structure moves and adapts to the clamping joint on the mounting platform. The clamping joint can not only play a limiting role on the liquid spray structure, but the liquid inlet chamber on the clamping joint can also cooperate with the liquid spray chamber to receive water discharged from the liquid spray chamber, and send it to the liquid spray port of the support seat through the liquid pipe, and spray it out from the liquid spray port to clean the valve body. That is to say, when the mounting platform rises and separates from the detection liquid in the detection pool, the water flowing through the liquid spray chamber drives the air nozzle structure to rotate by driving the impeller and sprocket structure, and drives the valve body to rotate. Subsequently, the water is sent from the liquid inlet chamber and the liquid pipe of the clamping joint to the liquid spray port, and the valve body in the rotating state is cleaned by spraying liquid from the liquid spray port from bottom to top.
[0171] It is worth mentioning that when the clamping joint cooperates with the spray liquid, the limiting part (the limiting part is annular in shape and can be provided with a sealing gasket) can contact with the spray liquid. At the same time, the spray liquid can press the limiting part on the mounting table to improve the sealing.
[0172] 2.3 Based on the rotation of the air nozzle structure, in the process that the air nozzle structure enters the valve cavity from both ends of the valve body, the air nozzle structure is controlled to rotate, and the valve cavity can be cleaned in cooperation with the vacuum pump and the air supply pump. That is to say, before the air nozzle structure clamps the valve body, the air nozzle structure rotates, so that the gas ejected from the air outlet on the movable tube can be swept inside the valve cavity. At the same time, when impurities are discharged from the valve port, they can be extracted through the adsorption port.
[0173] The specific process is: the first driving mechanism controls the lifting of the mounting platform and makes the lifting platform not contact with the detection liquid. At this time, the second driving mechanism can be used to control the air nozzle structure to approach or move away from the valve body and clean the valve cavity of the valve body.
[0174] 3. An observation window (for observing the airflow cavity) may be provided on the spray liquid of the present embodiment. Therefore, during the vacuum test of the present embodiment, if the result cannot be accurately observed from the detection pool, the vacuum test result may be judged by observing whether there is water accumulation in the airflow cavity. That is, if there is a crack in the valve body, during the vacuum test, the water in the detection pool will enter the valve cavity and will be drawn out by the vacuum branch and enter the airflow cavity. The test may also be judged by observing the condition of the inner wall of the valve cavity after unloading.
[0175] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
