A one-way flow pipe 112 is fixedly installed on the first shielding plate 104, and the one-way flow pipe 112 is used to connect the air intake pipe 110 and the fixed installation pipe 115, wherein a step hole is provided inside the one-way flow pipe 112, and a blocking core 114 is slidably provided in the step hole through a blocking core bracket 113, so that the outer diameter of the blocking core 114 is smaller than the inner diameter of the one-way flow pipe 112, and the blocking core 114 is in contact and sealed with the air intake pipe 110, and the blocking core bracket 113 is in contact and cooperated with the step surface of the step hole on the one-way flow pipe 112 to prevent the blocking core 114 from contacting with the fixed installation pipe 115, and a ball valve 111 is provided in series on the air intake pipe 110. The first supporting side plate 127 and the second supporting side plate 128 are fixedly mounted on the second shielding plate 105, and the floating mounting tube 118 is slidably mounted on the first supporting side plate 127 and the second supporting side plate 128 by means of splines. Flanges are provided on the opposite ends of the floating mounting tube 118 and the fixed mounting tube 115 for installing the gas flow meter required for sealing detection. Two driving gears 125 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the floating mounting tube 118 between the opposite surfaces of the first supporting side plate 127 and the second supporting side plate 128, and the two driving gears 125 are meshed and driven by a linkage gear ring 129 rotatably sleeved on the floating mounting tube 118, and one of the driving gears 125 is fixed to the output shaft of the driving motor 126 fixed on the first supporting side plate 127. A screw arc frame 119 is fixed to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the measuring water pool 103, and two parallel and symmetrically arranged screw rods 120 are rotatably mounted on the screw arc frame 119. The two screw rods 120 are respectively fixedly matched with two driving gears 125. A drag frame 123 is threadedly mounted on the two screw rods 120, and the drag frame 123 is slidably sleeved on the circumferential surface of the floating mounting tube 118.A first stop ring 121 and a second stop ring 124 are fixed on the circumferential surface of the mobile mounting tube 118 on both sides of the drag frame 123, wherein the second stop ring 124 is in contact with the drag frame 123, and a compression spring 122 is arranged between the first stop ring 121 and the drag frame 123, and the compression spring 122 surrounds the circumferential surface of the mobile mounting tube 118. A pressure nozzle 116 is arranged on the fixed mounting tube 115, and a pressure pipe 117 is arranged on the pressure nozzle 116, and the pressure pipe 117 is connected to the booster air pump. An electric control valve 131 is fixedly arranged on one side of the intermediate enclosure 102 away from the air intake pipe 110, and the water inlet of the electric control valve 131 is flexibly connected to the end of the mobile mounting tube 118 away from the fixed mounting tube 115 through a hose 130.

[0023] The working principle of a gas flow meter sealing performance testing system disclosed in the present invention is as follows: a positioning seat 132 is set between the opposite ends of the fixed installation tube 115 and the floating installation tube 118, and a positioning seat 132 of a suitable size is selected according to the outer dimensions of the gas flow meter, and the positioning seat 132 is fixed to the bottom of the measuring water pool 103 (fixed in a manner that is easy to disassemble so that the positioning seat 132 can be replaced). The gas flow meter to be tested is placed on the positioning seat 132 through the sealing door plate 133, and then the driving motor 126 is controlled. The output shaft of the driving motor 126 will drive one of the driving gears 125 to rotate, and at the same time drive the other driving gear 125 to rotate through the linkage gear ring 129. The two driving gears 125 drive the two screw rods 120 to rotate, and then the drag frame 123 can be driven to move axially on the driving gear 125. At the same time, the first limiting ring 121 is pushed to move through the extrusion spring 122. The first limiting ring 121 is fixed on the floating mounting tube 118, so the floating mounting tube 118 will move, so that the floating mounting tube 118 is close to the fixed mounting tube 115, and the two ends of the gas flow meter are clamped (before clamping, a sealing rubber ring needs to be set on the clamping surface to ensure its sealing so that it is more suitable for the actual working scene).

[0024] Close the ball valve 111 and the electric control valve 131, and apply pressure through the fixed mounting tube 115 of the booster air pump box. Since the fixed mounting tube 115, the floating mounting tube 118 and the inside of the gas flow meter are the same, the pressure will also be applied to the gas flow meter. At this time, the gas flow meter can be tested for sealing. Since the gas flow meter is arranged in the measuring water tank 103, and clean water is arranged in the measuring water tank 103, the test needs to wait until the surface of the clean water in the measuring water tank 103 is calm before starting. When the gas flow meter leaks, bubbles will appear on the surface of the gas flow meter, and the bubbles will float to the surface of the clean water and rupture. The ruptured steam drum will form ripples on the surface of the clean water. During the entire test process, the irradiation lamp 109 needs to be started, and the light of the irradiation lamp 109 is irradiated to the surface of the clean water, and part of the light is reflected on the projection board 107, and a uniform light spot is formed on the projection board 107. When ripples are generated, the light spot on the projection board 107 is no longer uniform, and the light spot is in motion, and a light and shadow synchronized with the ripples are formed. The light and shadow can be captured by the camera 106 to determine whether the gas flow meter has a leak. Compared with the traditional sealing test, it can be determined in a short time whether the gas flow meter has a leak problem, so as to quickly find a defective gas flow meter. If the ripples continue, it means that there are always bubbles, which means that the sealing of the gas flow meter is poor.

[0025] In addition, the electric control valve 131 can be opened, and then the ball valve 111 can be partially opened. The opening and closing of the ball valve 111 can control the flow rate of the gas in the air intake pipe 110, and also control the flow rate of the gas through the gas flow meter. This method can not only measure the sealing performance of the gas flow meter under actual dynamic conditions, but also drain the water from the fixed installation pipe 115 and the floating installation pipe 118 as well as the gas flow meter during the installation of the gas flow meter (it needs to be selected according to the specific situation, or the clean water in the measuring water pool 103 can be drained before installing the gas flow meter).
