DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] At least one embodiment of the present application provides a device for detecting leakage of a mechanical seal assembly, referring to Figure 1The device for detecting leakage of the mechanical seal assembly comprises a desalted water tank 1, a water pump inlet valve 2, a water pump 3, a pressure relief valve 4, a water pump outlet valve 5, a filter 6, a pressure regulating valve 7, a first pressure gauge 8, a second pressure gauge 9, a steam trap 10, a water supply pipeline 11, a mechanical seal assembly test chamber 12, an oil-water collection measuring cup 15, a transmission chain 17, a high and low pressure collection measuring cup 18, a reducer 19 and a motor 20. One end of the water pump inlet valve 2 is connected to the desalted water tank 1 by a stainless steel pipeline, and the other end of the water pump inlet valve 2 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 3. The outlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the pressure relief valve 4. The other end of the pressure relief valve 4 is connected to the water pump outlet valve 5 and the second pressure gauge 9. The other end of the water pump outlet valve 5 is connected to the filter 6, and the other end of the filter 6 is connected to the pressure regulating valve 7. The other end of the pressure regulating valve 7 is connected to the first pressure gauge 8. The other end of the first pressure gauge 8 is connected to the steam trap 10 by a stainless steel pipeline, and the water supply pipeline 11 is connected to the mechanical seal assembly test chamber 12. The mechanical seal assembly test chamber 12 is used to install the first mechanical seal assembly 14 and the second mechanical seal assembly 16 after the repair is completed. The first mechanical seal assembly 14 is provided with an oil leakage collection port a, an oil-water leakage collection port b, a low-pressure leakage collection port c and a high-pressure leakage collection port d. The outlet of the leakage pipeline connected to the oil leakage collection port a and the oil-water leakage collection port b is located above the oil-water collection measuring cup 15, and the outlet of the leakage pipeline connected to the low-pressure leakage collection port c and the high-pressure leakage collection port d is located above the high-low pressure collection measuring cup 18. Two liquid level probes are respectively placed in the oil-water collection measuring cup 15 and the high-low pressure collection measuring cup 18 to monitor the leakage rate using the two liquid level probes.

[0019] It should be noted that if the pressure in the mechanical seal assembly test chamber 12 suddenly rises and causes overpressure, the pressure can be released through the pressure relief valve. The liquid level probe can convert the resistance signal into a current signal, and start and stop and alarm through analog-to-digital conversion.

[0021] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, by utilizing the first mechanical seal assembly 14 and the second mechanical seal assembly 16 after the installation and maintenance of the mechanical seal assembly test chamber 12 in the device for detecting leakage of the mechanical seal assembly, the desalted water in the desalted water tank 1 can enter the mechanical seal assembly test chamber 12 through the water pump inlet valve 2, the water pump 3, the pressure release valve 4 and other components, so that the water pump 3 is used to start the mechanical seal assembly test chamber 12 to pressurize, and then the first mechanical seal assembly 14 and the second mechanical seal assembly 16 are driven forward and backward through the transmission chain 17, the reducer 19 and the motor 20, and the leakage rates in the oil-water collection measuring cup 15 and the high and low pressure collection measuring cups 18 are monitored respectively by two liquid level probes, thereby realizing the integration of pressure and drive, and also realizing leakage monitoring under corresponding pressure. The device for detecting leakage of mechanical seal components provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the functions of oil-water mixing and oil-water monomer collection by setting oil leakage collection port a, oil-water leakage collection port b, low-pressure leakage collection port c and high-pressure leakage collection port d and corresponding measuring cups, and uses a liquid level probe to monitor whether the leakage rate meets the corresponding requirements, thereby realizing leakage monitoring of the mechanical seal components, ensuring that the leakage rates of the first mechanical seal component 14 and the second mechanical seal component 16 after the maintenance are completed meet the requirements, thereby avoiding the loss of heavy water, environmental pollution and major economic losses. In addition, the device for detecting leakage of mechanical seal components is simple to operate, has a reasonable structure and is highly practical.

The control panel 21 is connected to the two liquid level probes, and the control panel 21 is used to receive signals from the liquid level probes and determine whether the leakage rates of the first mechanical seal assembly 14 and the second mechanical seal assembly 16 meet the requirements. In this way, the automatic monitoring of the leakage rate of the mechanical seal assembly is achieved by using the control panel 21, which is conducive to timely detection of excessive leakage rate and alarm processing.
