Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sealing detection equipment, in particular to a high-pressure flange air tightness detection device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, high-pressure gas pipelines have been widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, and natural gas. In these systems, flanges, especially high-pressure flanges, are key components for connecting pipelines, and their air tightness is directly related to the safety and stability of the entire system. Therefore, strict air tightness testing of high-pressure flanges is an important part of ensuring the safe operation of the system. At present, the commonly used high-pressure flange air tightness testing method on the market is mainly to inject high-pressure gas into the inner side of the sealed flange through pressure equipment and observe the pressure maintenance, so as to draw conclusions related to the sealing.

[0003] The traditional device has the following shortcomings: In the prior art, although the air pressure test can effectively evaluate the air tightness of the flange, this detection method faces huge safety hazards when facing the quality problems that may exist in the flange itself, especially the material defects caused by unqualified heat treatment. When the flange fails to meet the specified strength and toughness standards during the heat treatment process, it is very easy to burst during the pressurization process. This bursting will not only cause equipment damage and production line interruption, but may also cause serious safety accidents, causing immeasurable harm to personnel and the environment. The existing air tightness detection equipment has a certain degree of protection function. Since the flange will first crack before bursting, the crack will cause the air pressure inside the flange to rise slowly or even decrease. The equipment will respond quickly when the air pressure is detected to be abnormal, and the system pressure will be reduced by stopping the pressure or opening the solenoid valve to exhaust the air outward. However, this type of equipment still has obvious shortcomings in dealing with the risk of high-pressure flange bursting. Specifically, due to the caliber limitation of the exhaust hole, when the equipment detects the abnormal air pressure during the pressurization process and implements the pressure reduction measures, it often takes a long time to complete the pressure release, while the process from the abnormal air pressure to the actual bursting of the flange may be very short. This time mismatch makes it difficult for the existing pressure reduction method to effectively prevent the flange from bursting before it explodes, and the high-pressure gas release process is likely to cause harm to nearby workers, thus failing to meet the current high standards for explosion-proof performance of air tightness testing equipment in the industrial field.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0020] See also Figure 1-11As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for a high-pressure flange air tightness detection device: a high-pressure flange air tightness detection device, comprising a base 1, a support frame 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper end surface of the base 1, a mounting sleeve 3 is fixedly installed inside the support frame 2, a pressure mechanism 4 for increasing air pressure when performing air tightness detection is installed on the inner side of the mounting sleeve 3, the flange must have mutually adapted A flange 10 and B flange 11 to simulate sealing when performing air tightness detection, a positioning component 5 for fixing the A flange 10 is installed at the opening of the mounting sleeve 3, a sealing mechanism 6 is movably installed on one side of the upper end surface of the base 1 away from the support frame 2, the sealing mechanism 6 is used to control the pressing force of the flange connection part, and a controller 7 and an air pressure sensor 8 are also installed on the sealing mechanism 6; The pressure mechanism 4 includes a telescopic sleeve 401, a mounting groove 404, a sliding frame 408 and a telescopic airbag 412. The telescopic sleeve 401 is movably mounted on the end of the mounting sleeve 3 and the sleeve opening of the telescopic sleeve 401 is sleeved on the outside of the opening of the mounting sleeve 3. The inner end of the telescopic sleeve 401 located at the mounting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 402. A plurality of transverse grooves 403 are provided on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 3. The outer side of the connecting plate 402 is slidably connected in the transverse groove 403 by providing a slider. The mounting groove 404 is horizontally provided on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 3 and is spaced apart from the transverse groove 403. A circular arc-shaped threaded slide 405 is movably installed in the mounting groove 404. The threaded slide 405 slides along the groove in the mounting groove 404. The center of the cross section of the threaded slide 405 is at the same point. An electromagnetic sheet 406 is installed on the outer side of the mounting groove 404 on the main body of the mounting sleeve 3. A permanent magnetic sheet 407 matching the electromagnetic sheet 406 is embedded and installed in the threaded slide 405. The sliding frame 408 is slidably connected in the horizontal groove 403 through a slider, and a driving motor 409 is installed inside the sliding frame 408. The driving motor 409 can be a DC brushless motor. The output end of the driving motor 409 is connected to a reducer 410, and the end of the reducer 410 is connected to a stud 411. The other end of the stud 411 is rotatably connected to the connecting disk 402, and the external thread of the stud 411 matches the internal thread on the threaded slide 405.

[0021] After the electromagnetic sheet 406 is energized, a repulsive force is generated on the permanent magnet sheet 407, so that the threaded slide 405 extends out of the installation slot 404 and the internal thread on the inner side thereof meshes with the external thread of the stud 411. Under the limiting action of the slider and the transverse slot 403, the sliding frame 408 can only move horizontally along the inner wall of the installation sleeve 3 and cannot rotate. Therefore, the driving motor 409 drives the stud 411 to rotate relative to the threaded slide 405, driving itself and the sliding frame 408 to move horizontally in the installation sleeve 3 to achieve the purpose of applying pressure to the telescopic sleeve 401. The telescopic airbag 412 is movably mounted on the end of the installation sleeve 3 on one side of the sliding frame 408. When the sliding frame 408 moves rapidly toward the telescopic airbag 412, the telescopic airbag 412 can provide sufficient support and buffering. The pressure limit of the telescopic airbag 412 should be greater than the pressure limit of the telescopic sleeve 401.

[0022] When the air tightness detection device needs to be pressurized, the telescopic sleeve 401, the stud 411 and the sliding frame 408 are first moved to the appropriate position, and then the electromagnetic sheet 406 is energized to apply sufficient thrust to the permanent magnetic sheet 407 until the threaded slide 405 is stably engaged with the stud 411. Then the drive motor 409 is started, and the drive motor 409 drives the stud 411 to rotate through the reducer 410. The stud 411 moves toward the telescopic sleeve 401 under the action of the threaded slide 405, compressing the telescopic sleeve 401 until the specified air pressure is reached in the telescopic sleeve 401. The drive motor 409 is controlled to be closed through the controller 7. Under the self-locking action of the drive motor 409, the telescopic sleeve 401 and the sliding frame 408 are both in a stable state, and the inside of the telescopic sleeve 401 is kept pressurized. If the controller 7 detects that the internal air pressure of the flange is abnormal and there is a risk of explosion during the rotation and pressurization of the driving motor 409 and the stud 411, the controller 7 will quickly control the electromagnetic sheet 406 to change the direction of the current passing through, thereby generating an attraction force on the permanent magnet sheet 407, and the threaded slide 405 will be retracted into the installation slot 404 and separated from the stud 411. At this time, the stud 411 and the sliding frame 408 lose the corresponding constraints and slide backward rapidly under the push of the high-pressure gas in the telescopic sleeve 401, so that the telescopic sleeve 401 can be extended, and the internal air pressure will be rapidly reduced. When the sliding frame 408 moves to the end of the installation sleeve 3, the telescopic airbag 412 provides a buffer to prevent the sliding frame 408 from violently colliding with the inner wall of the installation sleeve 3.

[0023] Through the pressure mechanism 4, the pressurization effect in the flange is achieved by squeezing the telescopic sleeve 401. When abnormal air pressure is detected, the threaded slide 405 is quickly retracted into the installation groove 404, and the end of the telescopic sleeve 401 loses horizontal constraint and is able to stretch instantly, and the air pressure inside the flange is also able to be reduced instantly. The whole process is simple and convenient, which significantly improves the pressure relief efficiency of the flange when the air pressure is abnormal, and effectively avoids the occurrence of explosion. In addition, since the gas is still in the telescopic sleeve 401 and is not discharged during the pressure reduction process, the high-pressure gas is prevented from causing harm to the staff during the pressure relief process, thereby ensuring the safety of the air tightness detection equipment. At the same time, the sealing performance of the equipment itself is also significantly improved by pressing the telescopic sleeve 401. The installation sleeve 3 is arranged on the outside of the telescopic sleeve 401 and the telescopic airbag 412 to prevent radial deformation, which also significantly improves the pressure bearing limit of the two.

[0024] The sealing mechanism 6 includes a support seat 601, a sleeve 604 and an air inlet pipe 607. The support seat 601 is movably mounted in a slide rail on the upper end surface of the base 1. The support seat 601 slides and is positioned on the upper end surface of the base 1 along the slide rail. An installation cavity 602 is provided at the upper end of the support seat 601, and an electromagnetic disk 603 is fixedly installed inside the installation cavity 602. The sleeve 604 is slidably connected in the installation cavity 602. A permanent magnetic disk 605 matching the electromagnetic disk 603 is embedded inside the sleeve 604. The sleeve 604 moves horizontally along the installation cavity 602 under the cooperation of the attraction and repulsion of the permanent magnetic disk 605 and the electromagnetic disk 603. A sealant seat 606 is bonded on the end surface of the permanent magnetic disk 605 in the sleeve 604. The air pressure sensor 8 is installed on the end surface of the sealant seat 606 to detect the real-time air pressure inside the flange. The end of the air inlet pipe 607 passes through the through holes on the support seat 601, the electromagnetic disk 603, the sliding sleeve 604, the permanent magnetic disk 605 and the sealant seat 606 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the end face of the sealant seat 606 for preliminarily adjusting the air pressure inside the flange before pressing.

[0025] When the equipment needs to perform air tightness test on the flange, the support seat 601 needs to be moved along the track on the base 1 to the side away from the installation sleeve 3 to leave enough operating space, and then the B flange 11 is put on the sealant seat 606, located on the inner side of the sliding sleeve 604. After the A flange 10 is positioned, the support seat 601 can be moved to the specified position in the direction of the installation sleeve 3 to adjust the distance between the A flange 10 and the B flange 11. At this time, the controller 7 controls the current of the specified direction and magnitude to be passed to the electromagnetic disk 603, so that the electromagnetic disk 603 generates a constant repulsive force on the permanent disk 605, and the magnitude of the repulsive force is consistent with the clamping force applied by the A flange 10 and the B flange 11 when the bolts are tightened. At this time, the A flange 10 and the B flange 11 are pressed tightly, and a pressure test can be performed. When the magnitude of the clamping force needs to be adjusted, the current magnitude of the electromagnetic disk 603 can be adjusted.

[0026] Through the sealing mechanism 6, the flange sealing clamping force can be precisely controlled by adjusting the current on the electromagnetic disk 603 when the flange is tested for air tightness, so that the entire flange testing process can be carried out according to normal working conditions to simulate the actual clamping effect of the bolt, avoiding excessive or insufficient pressure, and further improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0027] The positioning assembly 5 includes an extension part 501, a clamping ring 505 and a thick sealing ring 507. The extension part 501 is arranged on the outer wall of the end of the installation sleeve 3. A plurality of positioning holes 502 are provided on the end surface of the extension part 501 adjacent to the support seat 601. A connecting crossbar 503 is slidably connected in the positioning hole 502. A hexagonal portion 504 is integrally formed on the rod body of the connecting crossbar 503 for the rotation of the main body of the connecting crossbar 503. The clamping ring 505 is movably installed on one side of the extension part 501 for fixing the A flange 10. A plurality of internal thread sleeves 506 are provided on the end surface of the clamping ring 505. The internal thread sleeve 506 is threadedly connected to the end of the connecting crossbar 503. The diameter of the internal thread sleeve 506 matches the bolt hole on the flange. The A flange 10 is hung on the internal thread sleeve 506 through the bolt hole. A rubber pad 9 is bonded to the end surface of the clamping ring 505 located on one side of the internal thread sleeve 506 for protecting the stress-bearing part of the flange. The thick sealing ring 507 is movably mounted on the inner side of the clamp ring 505 and can be flexibly disassembled. The thick sealing ring 507 is used for sealing during flange sealing surface inspection.

[0028] When the A flange 10 needs to be fixed, first rotate the connecting cross bar 503 by twisting the hexagonal portion 504 to remove the clamp ring 505, then hang the corresponding A flange 10 on the internal thread sleeve 506 of the clamp ring 505 through its own bolt hole, and then re-connect the clamp ring 505 to the connecting cross bar 503 through the internal thread sleeve 506, and tighten the connecting cross bar 503 to ensure the installation stability of the A flange 10. At the same time, the pressing force provided by the connecting cross bar 503 also ensures the sealing effect between the two sides of the telescopic sleeve 401 sleeve and the end face of the A flange 10 and the port of the installation sleeve 3. Finally, the thick sealing ring 507 is placed on the sealing surface of the clamp ring 505 and the A flange 10. When the A flange 10 is connected to the B flange 11 sealing surface, the thick sealing ring 507 can ensure effective fit with the sealing surfaces of the flanges on both sides.

[0029] Through the positioning component 5, the single-side flange and the telescopic sleeve 401 are pre-positioned and sealed at the port of the installation sleeve 3. The sealing effect of the telescopic sleeve 401 is only controlled by the connecting cross bar 503 and is not affected by the clamping force of the sealing mechanism 6. The detection result is more controllable. The sealing mechanism 6 can dock the other side flange with it according to the size of the bolt clamping force under actual working conditions. The operation process of the sealing mechanism 6 is simplified and the sealing efficiency is improved. In addition, this fixing method also avoids damage to the flange during the detection process, which affects the secondary sales.

[0030] In the actual detection process, the opening of the support seat 601 should be sleeved on the outside of the clamp ring 505, so the inner diameter of the opening of the support seat 601 is larger than the outer diameter of the clamp ring 505 to avoid mutual interference.

[0031] The controller 7 is installed on the side wall of the lower end of the support base 601. The controller 7 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic plate 406, the drive motor 409, the electromagnetic disk 603 and the air pressure sensor 8 through wires. After receiving the electrical signal from the air pressure sensor 8, the controller 7 controls the electromagnetic plate 406, the drive motor 409 and the electromagnetic disk 603 through wires to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

[0032] The telescopic sleeve 401 and the telescopic airbag 412 are both made of rubber material and are in the shape of a bellows. The bellows shape is conducive to more precise control of the telescopic profile and path.

[0033] The transverse groove 403 crosses the entire inner wall of the installation sleeve 3. The long length of the transverse groove 403 also provides a larger stroke for the telescopic sleeve 401 and the sliding frame 408, further optimizing the pressing limit and buffering capacity.

[0034] Working principle: When using the present invention to test the air tightness of the flange, first move the support seat 601 along the track on the base 1 to the side away from the installation sleeve 3 to leave enough operating space, then remove the clamp ring 505, and then hang the corresponding A flange 10 on the internal threaded sleeve 506 of the clamp ring 505 through its own bolt hole, and then re-connect the clamp ring 505 to the connecting cross bar 503 through the internal threaded sleeve 506, and tighten the connecting cross bar 503 to ensure that the two sides of the telescopic sleeve 401 sleeve mouth are tightly fitted with the end face of the A flange 10 and the port of the installation sleeve 3. Finally, place the thick sealing ring 507 on the sealing surface of the clamp ring 505 and the A flange 10. At this time, the flange can be sealed. Put the B flange 11 on the sealant seat 606, and move the support seat 601 to the specified position in the direction of the installation sleeve 3, adjust the distance between the A flange 10 and the B flange 11, and then fix the support seat 601. At this time, the controller 7 controls the current of specified direction and magnitude to be passed into the electromagnetic disk 603, so that the electromagnetic disk 603 generates a constant repulsive force on the permanent disk 605, which is used to simulate the clamping force applied to the flanges on both sides when the bolts are tightened under normal working conditions. At this time, the air pressure inside the flange is preliminarily adjusted through the air inlet pipe 607, so that the sliding frame 408, stud 411, etc. are all in the accurate position before the air tightness test can be carried out.

[0035] First, the controller 7 controls the electromagnetic sheet 406 to be energized to generate a repulsive force on the permanent magnetic sheet 407, so that the threaded slide 405 and the stud 411 are stably engaged. Then, the drive motor 409 is started, and the drive motor 409 drives the stud 411 to rotate. The stud 411 compresses the telescopic sleeve 401 under the action of the threaded slide 405 until the specified air pressure is reached in the telescopic sleeve 401. The controller 7 is triggered by the air pressure sensor 8 and then controls the drive motor 409 to close. Under the self-locking action of the drive motor 409, the telescopic sleeve 401 and the sliding frame 408 are both in a stable state, and the inside of the telescopic sleeve 401 is kept under pressure. If the controller 7 detects that the air pressure inside the flange is abnormal through the air pressure sensor 8 during the rotation and pressurization of the drive motor 409 and the stud 411, and there is a risk of explosion, the controller 7 quickly controls the electromagnetic sheet 406 to change the direction of the current passing through, thereby generating an attractive force on the permanent magnetic sheet 407, and the threaded slide 405 instantly shrinks into the installation slot 404 and separates from the stud 411. At this time, the stud 411 and the sliding frame 408 lose their corresponding constraints and slide rapidly along the transverse groove 403 toward the inner side of the installation sleeve 3 under the push of the high-pressure gas in the telescopic sleeve 401, so that the telescopic sleeve 401 is extended and the internal air pressure decreases rapidly. When the sliding frame 408 moves to the end of the installation sleeve 3, the telescopic airbag 412 provides a buffer to prevent the sliding frame 408 from colliding violently with the inner wall of the installation sleeve 3.
