Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sealing detection equipment, and specifically provides a high-pressure flange airtightness detection device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress of industrial technology, high-pressure gas transmission pipelines have been widely used in multiple fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, and natural gas. In these systems, flanges, especially high-pressure flanges, as key components for connecting pipelines, their airtightness is directly related to the safety and stability of the entire system. Therefore, strict airtightness detection of high-pressure flanges is an important link to ensure the safe operation of the system. Currently, the commonly used methods for detecting the airtightness of high-pressure flanges in the market mainly involve injecting high-pressure gas into the inner side of the flanges connected by seals through a pressure boosting device and maintaining the pressure for observation, so as to draw conclusions related to the sealing performance.

[0003] The traditional devices have the following deficiencies:

[0004] In the prior art, although the pneumatic test can effectively evaluate the airtightness of flanges, in the face of possible quality problems of the flanges themselves, especially material defects caused by unqualified heat treatment, this detection method faces huge safety hazards. When the flange fails to meet the specified strength and toughness standards during the heat treatment process, it is extremely likely to explode during the pressure boosting process. Such an explosion will not only cause equipment damage and production line interruption, but may also trigger serious safety accidents, causing inestimable harm to personnel and the environment. Existing airtightness detection equipment has a certain degree of protection function to a certain extent. Since cracks will appear in the flange before it explodes, the cracks will cause the air pressure inside the flange to increase slowly or even decrease. When the equipment detects abnormal air pressure, it will respond quickly and reduce the system pressure by stopping the pressure boosting or opening the solenoid valve to exhaust air. However, such equipment still has obvious deficiencies in dealing with the explosion risk of high-pressure flanges. Specifically, due to the diameter limitation of the exhaust holes, when the equipment detects abnormal air pressure during the pressure boosting process and implements pressure reduction measures, it often takes a long time to complete the pressure release, while the process from abnormal air pressure to actual explosion of the flange may be very short. This mismatch in time makes the existing pressure reduction methods difficult to effectively prevent the explosion of the flange before it occurs, and it is very likely that the release of high-pressure gas will also cause harm to nearby workers, thus unable to meet the high standards of explosion-proof performance requirements for airtightness detection equipment in the current industrial field.

Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-11As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a technical solution for a high-pressure flange airtightness detection device: a high-pressure flange airtightness detection device, including a base 1. On one side of the upper end surface of the base 1, a support frame 2 is fixedly installed. Inside the support frame 2, an installation sleeve 3 is fixedly installed. Inside the installation sleeve 3, a pressure mechanism 4 for increasing the air pressure during airtightness detection is installed. When the flange is subjected to airtightness detection, it is necessary to simulate the seal with a mutually adapted A flange 10 and B flange 11. At the opening of the installation sleeve 3, a positioning component 5 for fixing the A flange 10 is installed. On the side of the upper end surface of the base 1 away from the support frame 2, a sealing mechanism 6 is movably installed. The sealing mechanism 6 is used to control the pressing force at the flange connection part. A controller 7 and a pressure sensor 8 are also installed on the sealing mechanism 6;

[0045] The pressure mechanism 4 includes a telescopic sleeve 401, an installation groove 404, a sliding frame 408, and a telescopic airbag 412. The telescopic sleeve 401 is movably installed at the end of the installation sleeve 3, and the sleeve opening of the telescopic sleeve 401 is sleeved outside the opening of the installation sleeve 3. At the inner end of the telescopic sleeve 401 located inside the installation sleeve 3, a connection disk 402 is fixedly connected. A number of horizontal grooves 403 are opened on the inner wall of the installation sleeve 3. The outside of the connection disk 402 is slidably connected in the horizontal groove 403 through a slider. The installation groove 404 is horizontally opened on the inner wall of the installation sleeve 3 and is distributed at intervals with the horizontal groove 403. An arc-shaped threaded sliding piece 405 is movably installed in the installation groove 404. The threaded sliding piece 405 slides along the groove opening in the installation groove 404. The centers of the cross-sections of the threaded sliding piece 405 are all at the same point. An electromagnetic sheet 406 is installed on the main body of the installation sleeve 3 outside the installation groove 404. A permanent magnet sheet 407 matching the electromagnetic sheet 406 is embedded in the threaded sliding piece 405. The sliding frame 408 is slidably connected in the horizontal groove 403 through a slider. A driving motor 409 is installed inside the sliding frame 408. This driving motor 409 can be a DC brushless motor. The output end of the driving motor 409 is connected to a speed reducer 410. The end of the speed reducer 410 is connected to a stud 411. The other end of the stud 411 is rotatably connected to the connection disk 402. The external thread of the stud 411 matches the internal thread on the threaded sliding piece 405.

[0046] After the electromagnetic sheet 406 is powered on, it generates a repulsive force on the permanent magnet sheet 407, causing the threaded sliding sheet 405 to extend out of the installation groove 404 and the internal thread on its inner side to engage with the external thread of the stud 411. The sliding frame 408 can only move horizontally along the inner wall of the installation sleeve 3 under the limiting action of the slider and the horizontal groove 403 and cannot rotate. Therefore, the driving motor 409 drives the rotation of the stud 411 relative to the threaded sliding sheet 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 installed at one end of the installation sleeve 3 on the side of the sliding frame 408. When the sliding frame 408 moves rapidly towards the telescopic airbag 412, the telescopic airbag 412 can provide sufficient support and buffering. The pressure-bearing limit of the telescopic airbag 412 should be greater than the pressure-bearing limit of the telescopic sleeve 401.

[0047] When the airtightness detection device needs to be pressurized, first move the telescopic sleeve 401, the stud 411, and the sliding frame 408 to appropriate positions. Then, power on the electromagnetic sheet 406 to apply sufficient thrust to the permanent magnet sheet 407 until the threaded sliding sheet 405 is stably engaged with the stud 411. Next, start the driving motor 409. The driving motor 409 drives the stud 411 to rotate through the reducer 410. The stud 411 moves towards the telescopic sleeve 401 under the action of the threaded sliding sheet 405 and compresses the telescopic sleeve 401 until the specified air pressure is reached inside the telescopic sleeve 401. Then, control the driving motor 409 to turn off through the controller 7. Under the self-locking action of the driving motor 409, both the telescopic sleeve 401 and the sliding frame 408 are in a stable state, and the inside of the telescopic sleeve 401 is kept pressurized. If during the rotation and pressurization process of the driving motor 409 and the stud 411, the controller 7 detects that the air pressure inside the flange is abnormal and there is a risk of explosion, at this time, the controller 7 quickly controls the electromagnetic sheet 406 to change the direction of the passing current, thereby generating an attractive force on the permanent magnet sheet 407. After the threaded sliding sheet 405 retracts into the installation groove 404, it separates from the stud 411. At this time, the stud 411 and the sliding frame 408 lose their corresponding constraints and quickly slide backward under the push of the high-pressure gas inside the telescopic sleeve 401. The telescopic sleeve 401 extends, 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 buffering to prevent the sliding frame 408 from colliding violently with the inner wall of the installation sleeve 3.

[0048] Through the pressure mechanism 4, the pressurization effect inside the flange is achieved by squeezing the telescopic sleeve 401. When abnormal air pressure is detected, the threaded sliding piece 405 is quickly retracted into the installation groove 404. The end of the telescopic sleeve 401 loses horizontal restraint and can be stretched instantly, and the air pressure inside the flange also drops instantly. The whole process is simple and convenient, significantly improving the pressure relief efficiency of the flange in case of abnormal air pressure, effectively avoiding the occurrence of explosion. And since the gas is still in the telescopic sleeve 401 and not discharged during the pressure reduction process, it avoids the harm caused by high-pressure gas to the staff during the pressure relief process, ensuring the safety of the airtightness detection equipment. At the same time, pressing by pushing the telescopic sleeve 401 also significantly improves the sealing performance of the equipment itself. The installation sleeve 3 is sleeved outside the telescopic sleeve 401 and the expansion airbag 412 to prevent radial deformation, which also significantly increases the pressure-bearing limit of the two.

[0049] The sealing mechanism 6 includes a support base 601, a sliding sleeve 604 and an air inlet pipe 607. The support base 601 is movably installed in the slide rail on the upper end surface of the base 1. The support base 601 slides and positions along the slide rail on the upper end surface of the base 1. An installation cavity 602 is opened at the upper end of the support base 601, and an electromagnetic disk 603 is fixedly installed inside the installation cavity 602. The sliding sleeve 604 is slidably connected in the installation cavity 602. A permanent magnetic disk 605 matching the electromagnetic disk 603 is embedded inside the sliding sleeve 604. The sliding sleeve 604 moves horizontally along the installation cavity 602 under the combined action of the attraction and repulsion forces of the permanent magnetic disk 605 and the electromagnetic disk 603. A sealing glue seat 606 is bonded to the end surface of the permanent magnetic disk 605 inside the sliding sleeve 604. The air pressure sensor 8 is installed on the end surface of the sealing glue seat 606 to detect the real-time air pressure inside the flange. The end of the air inlet pipe 607 sequentially penetrates through the through holes on the support base 601, the electromagnetic disk 603, the sliding sleeve 604, the permanent magnetic disk 605 and the sealing glue seat 606 and is fixedly connected to the end surface of the sealing glue seat 606 for initially adjusting the air pressure inside the flange before pressing.

[0050] When the equipment needs to perform airtightness detection on the flange, first move the support base 601 along the track on the base 1 to the side away from the installation sleeve 3 to leave enough operating space. Then, put the B flange 11 on the sealing glue seat 606, inside the sliding sleeve 604. After the A flange 10 is positioned, the support base 601 can be moved towards the installation sleeve 3 to the specified position to adjust the distance between the A flange 10 and the B flange 11. At this time, the controller 7 is used to control the current with a 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 magnetic disk 605, and the magnitude of this repulsive force is the same as the clamping force applied when the A flange 10 and the B flange 11 are bolted. At this time, the A flange 10 and the B flange 11 are pressed tightly and can be tested by pressing. When it is necessary to adjust the magnitude of the clamping force, just adjust the current magnitude of the electromagnetic disk 603.

[0051] Through the sealing mechanism 6, when performing the airtightness detection on the flange, the accurate control of the sealing clamping force of the electromagnetic disk 603 can be achieved by adjusting the current magnitude on the electromagnetic disk 603, enabling the entire detection process of the flange to simulate the actual clamping effect of the bolt under normal working conditions, avoiding excessive or insufficient pressure, and further improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0052] The positioning component 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 mounting sleeve 3. On the end face of the side of the extension part 501 adjacent to the support seat 601, a plurality of positioning holes 502 are provided. A connecting cross bar 503 is slidably connected in the positioning holes 502. An hexagonal part 504 is integrally formed on the rod body of the connecting cross bar 503 for rotating the main body of the connecting cross bar 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 face of the clamping ring 505. The internal thread sleeves 506 are threadedly connected to the ends of the connecting cross bars 503. The diameter of the internal thread sleeves 506 matches the bolt holes on the flange. The A flange 10 is hung on the internal thread sleeves 506 through the bolt holes. A rubber pad 9 is bonded on the end face of the clamping ring 505 on the side of the internal thread sleeve 506 for protecting the stressed part of the flange. The thick sealing ring 507 is movably installed inside the clamping ring 505 and can be flexibly disassembled. The thick sealing ring 507 is used for sealing during the detection of the flange sealing surface.

[0053] When it is necessary to fix the A flange 10, first rotate the connecting cross bar 503 by turning the hexagonal part 504 to remove the clamping ring 505. Subsequently, hang the corresponding A flange 10 on the internal thread sleeves 506 of the clamping ring 505 through its own bolt holes. Then, reconnect the clamping ring 505 to the connecting cross bar 503 through the internal thread sleeves 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 sleeve mouth of the telescopic sleeve 401 and the end face of the A flange 10 and the port of the mounting sleeve 3 respectively. Finally, place the thick sealing ring 507 on the sealing surfaces of the clamping ring 505 and the A flange 10. When the sealing surfaces of the A flange 10 and the B flange 11 are connected, the thick sealing ring 507 can ensure effective fitting with the sealing surfaces of the two flanges on both sides.

[0054] Through the positioning component 5, the pre-positioning and sealing of the single-sided flange and the telescopic sleeve 401 at the port of the mounting sleeve 3 are realized. The sealing effect of the telescopic sleeve 401 is only controlled by the connecting cross bar 503 and is not affected by the pressing force of the sealing mechanism 6. The detection result is more controllable. The sealing mechanism 6 only needs to dock the other flange according to the magnitude of the bolt clamping force under the actual working conditions, which also simplifies the operation process of the sealing mechanism 6, improves the sealing efficiency, and such a fixing method also avoids damage to the flange during the detection process, affecting secondary sales.

[0055] During the actual detection process, the opening of the support base 601 should be sleeved outside the clamping ring 505. Therefore, the inner diameter of the opening of the support base 601 being larger than the outer diameter of the clamping ring 505 can avoid mutual interference.

[0056] The controller 7 is installed on the side wall at the lower end of the support base 601. The controller 7 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic sheet 406, the drive motor 409, the electromagnetic disk 603, and the air pressure sensor 8 through wires respectively. After receiving the electrical signal from the air pressure sensor 8, the controller 7 controls the electromagnetic sheet 406, the drive motor 409, and the electromagnetic disk 603 through wires respectively to ensure the stable operation of the device.

[0057] Both the telescopic sleeve 401 and the telescopic airbag 412 are made of rubber material and are in the shape of bellows. The bellows shape is beneficial for more precisely controlling the telescopic profile and path.

[0058] The transverse groove 403 runs across the entire inner wall of the mounting sleeve 3. The relatively 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 limit and buffering ability of the pressure application.

[0059] Working principle: When using the present invention to perform airtightness detection on the flange, first move the support base 601 along the track on the base 1 to the side far from the mounting sleeve 3 to leave enough operating space, then remove the clamping ring 505. Subsequently, hang the corresponding flange A 10 on the internal thread sleeve 506 of the clamping ring 505 through its own bolt holes, and then reconnect the clamping ring 505 to the connecting cross bar 503 through the internal thread sleeve 506 and tighten the connecting cross bar 503 to ensure that the two sides of the sleeve opening of the telescopic sleeve 401 are closely attached to the end face of the flange A 10 and the port of the mounting sleeve 3 respectively. Finally, place the thick sealing ring 507 on the sealing surfaces of the clamping ring 505 and the flange A 10. At this time, the sealing of the flange can be carried out. Sleeve the flange B 11 on the sealing rubber seat 606, and move the support base 601 towards the mounting sleeve 3 to the specified position. Adjust the distance between the flange A 10 and the flange B 11 and then fix the support base 601. At this time, control the controller 7 to pass a current with a specified direction and magnitude into the electromagnetic disk 603, so that the electromagnetic disk 603 generates a constant repulsive force on the permanent magnetic disk 605, which is used to simulate the clamping force applied to the two flanges during bolt tightening under normal working conditions. At this time, initially adjust the air pressure inside the flange through the air inlet pipe 607. After the sliding frame 408, the stud 411, etc. are all in the accurate positions, the airtightness test can be carried out.

[0060] First, the controller 7 controls the electromagnetic sheet 406 to be energized to generate a repulsive force on the permanent magnet sheet 407, so that the threaded sliding sheet 405 and the stud 411 are stably engaged. Then, the driving motor 409 is started. The driving motor 409 drives the stud 411 to rotate. Under the action of the threaded sliding sheet 405, the stud 411 compresses the telescopic sleeve 401 until the specified air pressure is reached inside the telescopic sleeve 401. Then, the controller 7 is triggered by the air pressure sensor 8 and controls the driving motor 409 to shut down. Due to the self-locking effect of the driving motor 409, both the telescopic sleeve 401 and the sliding frame 408 are in a stable state, and the air pressure inside the telescopic sleeve 401 is maintained. If during the rotation and pressurization process of the driving motor 409 and the stud 411, the controller 7 detects through the air pressure sensor 8 that the air pressure inside the flange is abnormal and there is a risk of explosion, at this time, the controller 7 quickly controls the electromagnetic sheet 406 to change the direction of the passing current, thereby generating an attractive force on the permanent magnet sheet 407. The threaded sliding sheet 405 instantly shrinks into the installation groove 404 and separates from the stud 411. At this time, after the stud 411 and the sliding frame 408 lose their corresponding constraints, they are quickly pushed by the high-pressure gas inside the telescopic sleeve 401 and slide along the transverse groove 403 towards the inner side of the installation sleeve 3. 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 buffering to prevent the sliding frame 408 from violently hitting the inner wall of the installation sleeve 3.
