Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of valve detection, and in particular relates to a valve sealing detection device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Valves are pipeline accessories used to open and close pipelines, control flow direction, and adjust and control the parameters (temperature, pressure, and flow) of the conveying medium. After the valve is processed, it is necessary to conduct a sealing test to ensure that the valve can effectively prevent the leakage of the medium during use. At present, the main methods for valve sealing detection include bubble detection method, helium mass spectrometry detection method, ultrasonic detection method, etc., among which the bubble detection method is more commonly used.

[0003] At present, in the process of testing the sealing performance of valves by the bubble detection method, the valve is generally clamped and sealed first, then gas is filled into the valve, and then the valve is placed in the testing liquid. If bubbles are generated in the testing liquid, it means that the valve is leaking and the sealing performance is poor. Otherwise, it means that the sealing performance of the valve is good. However, when testing valves, the current testing equipment can generally only perform clamping testing on a single valve, that is, only one valve can be tested at a time, and the testing efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a valve sealing detection device and a method of using the same in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0011] A main frame is provided with a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is used to drive the carrying plate to move vertically.

[0012] In the present technical solution, multiple sets of clamping mechanisms are used to clamp multiple valve products under the carrying plate. The initial positions of these valve products are at the same distance from the center of the carrying plate. The valve products that are sealed and clamped at both ends are inflated by a lifting mechanism and placed in a test tank filled with a test liquid to observe whether bubbles are generated around the valve products. If bubbles are generated around a certain valve product, the radial position of the clamping mechanism and the valve product on the carrying plate is adjusted by the corresponding adjustment mechanism to make it have a clear difference from the position of other valve products. In this way, after the inspection is completed, the lifting mechanism lifts the carrying plate, and the distance from the center of the unqualified valve products and the qualified valve products on the carrying plate is different, which is convenient for workers to collect the unqualified valve products and the qualified valve products separately.

[0027] When the connecting rod enters the first guide groove, the clamping mechanism will not move radially of the carrier disk during the rotation of the driving disk; when the connecting rod enters the second guide groove, the clamping mechanism will move radially of the carrier disk during the rotation of the driving disk.

[0028] In the above technical solution, further, the first end of the second guide groove is connected to the first end of the first guide groove, each group of transmission guide grooves corresponds to a group of switching mechanisms, and the switching mechanism includes:

[0029] A first baffle, the first baffle is located above the first end of the first guide groove, and the lower end of the first baffle can extend into the first guide groove, so that the connecting rod cannot enter the first guide groove during the rotation of the driving disk;

[0030] A second baffle, the second baffle is located above the first end of the second guide groove, and the lower end of the second baffle can extend into the second guide groove, so that the connecting rod cannot enter the second guide groove during the rotation of the driving disk;

[0031] A sliding frame, the sliding frame is fixed relative to the driving disk, and the first baffle plate and the second baffle plate are both vertically slidably arranged on the sliding frame;

[0032] The vertical driving mechanism is used to drive the first baffle and the second baffle to move vertically.

[0045] Step 4: Observe whether there are bubbles around the valve product. If there are bubbles, energize the corresponding electromagnet. If there are no bubbles, the corresponding electromagnet does not need to be energized.

[0046] Step 5: After the test is completed, the lifting mechanism drives the carrier plate vertically upward, and the driving plate is rotated to move the connecting rod from the first end to the other end in the transmission guide groove. During this process, the qualified valve products are pushed to the outside of the carrier plate, and the unqualified valve products remain on the inside of the carrier plate;

[0047] Step 6: Remove the valve products on the inner side and the outer side of the carrier plate and collect them separately.

[0048] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0049] 1. Through the cooperation of the main frame, the detection tank, the carrier plate, multiple groups of clamping mechanisms, the adjustment mechanism, the lifting mechanism, and the inflation mechanism, multiple valve products can be tested at the same time each time, and when unqualified valve products are found during the test, the position of the unqualified valve products on the carrier plate can be adjusted to be obviously different from the positions of other valve products, so that qualified valve products and unqualified valve products are not easily confused when they are collected after the test is completed; in addition, multiple devices can be tested at the same time, and different workers can be arranged to cooperate in clamping, observation and adjustment, and collection and collection, so that workers do not need to move around repeatedly, thereby improving the efficiency of valve testing.

[0050] 2. By designing the inflation mechanism to be a combination of an air guide hole, an air guide tube, and an air source, the inflation step of the valve product can be performed before or after the valve product is placed in the detection tank, so that more operating methods can be selected and the operation fault tolerance rate is higher.

[0051] 3. By designing the adjustment mechanism to cooperate with the sliding groove, the driving disk, the first guide groove, the second guide groove, the connecting rod, and the switching mechanism, the connecting rod is switched between the first guide groove and the second guide groove through the switching mechanism. When the connecting rod is in the first guide groove, the rotation of the driving disk will not apply a radial force of the driving disk to the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod will not move radially on the bearing disk. When the connecting rod is in the second guide groove, the rotation of the driving disk will apply a radial force along the driving disk to the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod can move radially on the bearing disk, and the movement of the connecting rod will move with the clamping mechanism. In this way, the connecting rods corresponding to different valve products are switched to the required guide grooves, and the rotation of the driving disk can simultaneously move the qualified valve products and the unqualified valve products to the marking position, so that the unqualified valve products can be efficiently marked, so that the qualified valve products and the unqualified valve products will not be confused after the inspection is completed.

[0052] 4. By connecting one end of the first guide groove and the second guide groove, the switching mechanism is designed to be a combination of the first baffle plate, the second baffle plate, the sliding frame, and the vertical driving mechanism. When the guide groove of the connecting rod is switched, there is no need to move the connecting rod, and there is no need to move the clamping mechanism and the valve product, which can ensure stable detection of the valve product, and the guide groove switching of the connecting rod can be completed by only driving the first baffle plate and the second baffle plate to make corresponding vertical movements. The structure is ingenious and the operation is simple.

[0053] 5. By designing the vertical drive mechanism to be a combination of a fixed seat, a swing frame, a magnetic block, an electromagnet, and a reset spring, and when the electromagnet is not energized, the lower end of the first baffle extends into the first guide groove. If the valve product is qualified after detection, there is no need to energize the electromagnet. When the drive disk rotates, the valve product will move in the second guide groove and be pushed to the outside of the carrier disk; if the valve product is unqualified, the electromagnet is energized again, so that when the drive disk rotates, the valve product moves in the first guide groove and stays on the inside of the carrier disk; since unqualified valve products are few, the energization state of the electromagnet corresponding to the qualified valve product is designed to be normally closed, which can save a lot of electricity and is more environmentally friendly.

[0054] 6. The drive disc is driven by a servo motor, the driving angle is precise, and the labor intensity of workers can be reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0078] The inflation mechanism 3 is used to inflate the valve product 100 that is sealed and clamped, so that the inside of the valve product 100 is filled with air. In this way, when the valve product 100 is placed in the test liquid, it is possible to observe whether the sealing of the valve product 100 is qualified by the bubble method. Any structure in the prior art that can inflate the sealed valve product 100 can be used as the inflation mechanism 3 in this embodiment;

[0079] In order to make the technical solution of this embodiment more concrete, this embodiment discloses a structure of the inflation mechanism 3, please refer to Figure 5The inflation mechanism 3 includes: an air guide hole 301 and an air guide tube 302. Specifically, the air guide hole 301 is provided on the fixed clamping plate 102, and the air guide hole 301 passes through the outer wall of the end of the clamping seat 101; one end of the air guide tube 302 is connected to the air guide hole 301, and the other end of the air guide tube 302 is connected to the air source (not shown in the figure). Any structure that can compress and transfer gas in the prior art can be used as the air source in this embodiment, such as an air compressor in the prior art. The air guide tube 302 can be a hose, and the hose is allowed to deform during use, which can reduce the requirements for the installation position of the air source and allow the air guide tube 302 to move with the carrier plate 4 and the clamping mechanism 1.

[0080] The carrier plate 4 is a circular plate, see Figure 1 The carrier plate 4 is located above the detection slot 2, and a plurality of clamping mechanisms 1 are provided at the bottom of the carrier plate 4.

In this way, after the inspection is completed, the lifting mechanism 7 lifts the carrier plate 4, and the distances from the center of the unqualified valve products 100 and the qualified valve products 100 on the carrier plate 4 are different, which is convenient for workers to collect the unqualified valve products 100 and the qualified valve products 100 respectively; in this way, after the inspection is completed, the qualified valve products 100 and the unqualified valve products 100 are not easily confused when they are collected; in addition, multiple devices can be inspected at the same time, and different workers can be arranged to cooperate in clamping, observation and adjustment, and collection and collection, so that workers do not need to move around repeatedly, thereby improving the efficiency of valve inspection.

[0084] Example 2

[0085] This embodiment provides a valve sealing detection device, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also discloses a structure of the adjustment mechanism 5;

[0086] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes: multiple sets of sliding grooves 401, a driving plate 501, multiple sets of transmission guide grooves 502, multiple connecting rods 503, a switching mechanism 8,

[0087] See also Figure 4 , multiple groups of sliding grooves 401 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the carrier plate 4, the sliding grooves 401 are opened on the carrier plate 4 along the radial direction of the carrier plate 4, and the sliding grooves 401 pass through the upper and lower surfaces of the carrier plate 4. In the figure, four groups of sliding grooves 401 are used as an example, and of course, the sliding grooves 401 can also be set to other numbers;

[0088] See also Figure 2 The driving disk 501 is disposed above the carrying disk 4. The driving disk 501 is also a disk. The driving disk 501 and the carrying disk 4 are coaxially distributed. The driving disk 501 and the carrying disk 4 are rotatably connected.

[0089] See also Figure 2 , multiple groups of transmission guide grooves 502 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the driving disk 501. In the figure, four groups of transmission guide grooves 502 are used as an example. Of course, the transmission guide grooves 502 can also be set to other numbers; please refer to the specific Figure 6The transmission guide groove 502 includes a first guide groove 5021 and a second guide groove 5022. The first guide groove 5021 is provided on the driving disk 501 and is a circular arc segment coaxial with the driving disk 501; the second guide groove 5022 is an inclined segment at an angle to the diameter of the driving disk 501, and the second guide groove 5022 is located on a side of the first guide groove 5021 away from the axis of the driving disk 501; the first guide groove 5021 and the second guide groove 5022 both penetrate the upper and lower surfaces of the driving disk 501;

[0090] Each set of clamping mechanisms 1 corresponds to a connecting rod 503, see Figure 3 , the lower end of the connecting rod 503 is connected to the clamping mechanism 1, please refer to Figure 4 , the middle part of the connecting rod 503 is slidably connected with the sliding groove 401, please refer to Figure 5 , the upper end of the connecting rod 503 extends into the transmission guide groove 502, and the upper end of the connecting rod 503 can enter the first guide groove 5021 and the second guide groove 5022;

[0091] In this embodiment, the first guide groove 5021 and the second guide groove 5022 may have overlapping parts or may be completely independent. The switching mechanism 8 is used to switch the upper end of the connecting rod 503 between the first guide groove 5021 and the second guide groove 5022. The switching mechanism 8 may be manually driven or electrically driven.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the connecting rod 503 enters the first guide groove 5021, the side wall of the first guide groove 5021 will not apply force to the connecting rod 503 in the radial direction of the carrier plate 4 during the rotation of the driving plate 501, so the clamping mechanism 1 will not move in the radial direction of the carrier plate 4; when the connecting rod 503 enters the second guide groove 5022, the side wall of the second guide groove 5022 will apply force to the connecting rod 503 in the radial direction of the carrier plate 4 during the rotation of the driving plate 501, so that the clamping mechanism 1 will move in the radial direction of the carrier plate 4;

[0093] by Figure 6 Taking the orientation sequence in as an example, when the connecting rod 503 enters the second guide groove 5022, when the driving disk 501 rotates clockwise, the inner side wall of the second guide groove 5022 will give the connecting rod 503 an outward thrust, so that the connecting rod 503 moves away from the center of the circle on the carrying disk 4, thereby pushing the clamping mechanism 1 and the valve product 100 to the outside of the carrying disk 4; when the clamping mechanism 1 and the valve product 100 are located on the outside of the carrying disk 4, the driving disk 501 is rotated counterclockwise, and the outer side wall of the second guide groove 5022 will give the connecting rod 503 an inward thrust, so that the connecting rod 503 moves on the carrying disk 4 toward the center of the circle, thereby pushing the clamping mechanism 1 and the valve product 100 to the inside of the carrying disk 4.

[0094] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 503 is switched between the first guide groove 5021 and the second guide groove 5022 by the switching mechanism 8, and the connecting rod 503 corresponding to different valve products 100 is switched to the required guide groove. By rotating the driving disk 501, the qualified valve products 100 and the unqualified valve products 100 can be moved to the marking position at the same time, and the unqualified valve products 100 can be efficiently marked, so that the qualified valve products 100 and the unqualified valve products 100 will not be confused after the detection is completed.

[0095] Example 3

[0096] This embodiment provides a valve sealing detection device, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also discloses a structure of a switching mechanism 8;

[0097] In this embodiment, the first end of the second guide groove 5022 is connected to the first end of the first guide groove 5021, so that each group of transmission guide grooves 502 is in a "human" shape, and the connecting area between the first guide groove 5021 and the second guide groove 5022 is referred to as the "overlapping position" hereinafter. Each group of transmission guide grooves 502 corresponds to a group of switching mechanisms 8, and the switching mechanism 8 includes: a first baffle 801, a second baffle 802, a sliding frame 803, and a vertical driving mechanism 9.

[0098] The first baffle 801 is located above the first end of the first guide groove 5021, and the lower end of the first baffle 801 can extend into the first guide groove 5021. When the lower end of the first baffle 801 extends into the first guide groove 5021, the lower surface of the first baffle 801 should be higher than the upper end surface of the connecting rod 503, so that the connecting rod 503 cannot enter the first guide groove 5021 from the overlapping position during the rotation of the driving disk 501, but can only enter the second guide groove 5022;

[0099] The second baffle plate 802 is located above the first end of the second guide groove 5022, and the lower end of the second baffle plate 802 can extend into the second guide groove 5022. When the lower end of the second baffle plate 802 extends into the second guide groove 5022, the lower surface of the second baffle plate 802 should be higher than the upper end surface of the connecting rod 503, so that the connecting rod 503 cannot enter the second guide groove 5022 from the overlapping position during the rotation of the driving disk 501, but can only enter the first guide groove 5021;

[0100] The sliding frame 803 is arranged on the driving disk 501. The sliding frame 803 has two parts, one part is vertically slidably connected to the first baffle 801, and the other part is vertically slidably connected to the second baffle 802;

[0101] The vertical driving mechanism 9 is used to drive the first baffle 801 and the second baffle 802 to move vertically;

[0102] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 503 can be pushed into one of the guide grooves by only needing to vertically push the first baffle 801 and the second baffle 802 into the corresponding guide grooves. The vertical movement of the first baffle 801 and the second baffle 802 can be controlled by the vertical driving mechanism 9 as needed to select the guide groove for the connecting rod 503. There is no need to move the connecting rod 503, and there is no need to move the clamping mechanism 1 and the valve product 100, so that stable detection of the valve product 100 can be ensured. Moreover, the guide groove switching of the connecting rod 503 can be completed by only driving the first baffle 801 and the second baffle 802 to perform corresponding vertical movements. The structure is ingenious and the operation is simple.

[0103] Example 4

[0104] This embodiment provides a valve sealing detection device, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also discloses a structure of a vertical drive mechanism 9;

[0105] In this embodiment, the vertical driving mechanism 9 includes: a fixed seat 901, a swing frame 902, a magnetic block 903, an electromagnet 904, a return spring 905,

[0106] See also Figure 7 , the fixing seat 901 is arranged on the driving disk 501;

[0107] See also Figure 8 The swing frame 902 is located above the first baffle plate 801 and the second baffle plate 802. The middle part of the swing frame 902 is rotatably disposed on the fixed seat 901. The two ends of the swing frame 902 are respectively connected to the first baffle plate 801 and the second baffle plate 802. Specifically, the first baffle plate 801 is connected to the first end of the swing frame 902, and the second baffle plate 802 is connected to the second end of the swing frame 902.

[0108] The magnetic block 903 is disposed on the upper surface of the first end of the swing frame 902, and the magnetic block 903 can be attracted by magnetic force;

[0109] The electromagnet 904 is arranged on the fixing seat 901 and is located above the magnetic block 903. The electromagnet 904 and the magnetic block 903 are opposite to each other. The electromagnet 904 can generate magnetic force when it is energized. Therefore, when the electromagnet 904 generates magnetic force, it can attract the magnetic block 903 upward. In this process, the first end of the swing frame 902 will be driven by the magnetic block 903 to swing upward, so that the first baffle 801 moves upward. At the same time, the second end of the swing frame 902 will swing downward, so that the second baffle 802 moves downward.

[0110] The two ends of the return spring 905 are respectively connected to the fixed seat 901 and the second end of the swing frame 902. When the second end of the swing frame 902 swings downward, the return spring 905 will be stretched to accumulate elastic force. However, during this process, the magnetic force of the electromagnet 904 on the magnetic suction block 903 is greater than the elastic force of the return spring 905. Therefore, the return spring 905 cannot pull the second end of the swing frame 902 upward. After the electromagnet 904 is powered off, the elastic force of the return spring 905 will pull the second end of the swing frame 902 upward, so that the second baffle 802 moves upward. At the same time, the first end of the swing frame 902 will swing downward, so that the first baffle 801 moves downward.

[0111] It should be noted that since the swing trajectories at both ends of the swing frame 902 are arcs, and the movement trajectories of the first baffle 801 and the second baffle 802 are vertical lines, there is a horizontal gap at the connection position between the two baffles and the swing frame 902, so as to allow the swing frame 902 to drive the two baffles to move slightly in the horizontal direction during the movement, so that the overall structure can run smoothly.

[0112] In this embodiment, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The schematic diagram shown is when the electromagnet 904 is powered on. At this time, the lower end of the second baffle 802 extends into the second guide groove 5022, the lower end of the first baffle 801 is away from the first guide groove 5021 and is higher than the upper end surface of the connecting rod 503. At this time, if the driving disk 501 rotates, the connecting rod 503 can move in the first guide groove 5021. After the electromagnet 904 is powered off, the second end of the swing frame 902 is higher than the first end. At this time, the lower end of the first baffle 801 extends into the first guide groove 5021, and the lower end of the second baffle 802 is away from the second guide groove 5022 and is higher than the upper end surface of the connecting rod 503.

[0113] As another situation of this embodiment, please refer to 11. When the electromagnet 904 is powered off, the position of the lower end of the first baffle 801 can be designed to be lower than the position of the lower end of the second baffle 802. In this case, the connection heights of the upper ends of the two baffles and the swing frame 902 can be the same, and the overall vertical length of the first baffle 801 is greater than that of the second baffle 802. Alternatively, the vertical lengths of the two baffles can be the same, and the connection height of the upper end of the first baffle 801 and the swing frame 902 is lower than the connection height of the upper end of the second baffle 802 and the swing frame 902. In this way, when the electromagnet 904 is not powered on, the lower end of the first baffle 801 extends into the first guide groove 5021, that is, the connecting rod 503 enters the second guide groove 5022, and the swing frame 902 is also in a state of balance at both ends or the state in which the first end is slightly higher than the second end. In this way, the distance between the electromagnet 904 and the magnetic suction block 903 will not be too far, which can ensure that the electromagnet 904 can attract the magnetic suction block 903 to make the swing frame 902 swing.

[0114] In this embodiment, if the valve product 100 is qualified after the test, there is no need to energize the electromagnet 904. When the drive disk 501 rotates, the valve product 100 will move in the second guide groove 5022 and be pushed to the outside of the carrier disk 4; if the valve product 100 is unqualified, the electromagnet 904 is energized again, so that when the drive disk 501 rotates, the valve product 100 moves in the first guide groove 5021 and stays on the inside of the carrier disk 4; since unqualified valve products 100 are few, the power supply state of the electromagnet 904 corresponding to the qualified valve product 100 is designed to be normally closed, which can save a lot of electricity and is more environmentally friendly.

[0115] In this embodiment, control buttons with the same number and distribution as all the electromagnets 904 can be set on the main frame 6. When a worker observes bubbles appearing in the test liquid of a certain valve product 100 during the inspection process, the worker presses the corresponding control button to energize the corresponding electromagnet 904, so that the unqualified valve product 100 can be preliminarily marked. When the drive disk 501 rotates, the unqualified valve product 100 can remain on the inner side of the carrier disk 4.

[0117] This embodiment provides a valve sealing detection device, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also discloses a driving method for the driving disk 501;

[0118] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, the carrier plate 4 is vertically slidably connected to the main frame 6, a mounting seat 10 is provided above the driving plate 501, a servo motor 11 for driving the driving plate 501 to rotate is provided on the mounting seat 10, and the mounting seat 10 is connected to the lifting mechanism 7;

[0119] The servo motor 11 has the advantages of precise rotation monitoring and fast response. The driving disk 501 is driven by the servo motor 11, the driving angle is precise, and the labor intensity of workers can be reduced.

[0120] Example 6

[0121] This embodiment discloses a method for using a valve sealing detection device, which is applicable to the valve sealing detection device in the above embodiment. The method comprises the following steps:

[0122] Step 1: Introduce the testing liquid into the testing tank 2, and clamp the multiple valve products 100 respectively through multiple groups of clamping mechanisms 1;

[0123] Step 2: Filling gas into the clamped valve product 100 through the inflation mechanism 3;

[0124] Step 3: Drive the carrier plate 4 vertically downward through the lifting mechanism 7 so that all valve products 100 enter the testing liquid;

[0125] Step 4: Observe whether bubbles are generated around the valve product 100. If bubbles are generated, the corresponding electromagnet 904 is energized. If no bubbles are generated, the corresponding electromagnet 904 does not need to be energized.

[0126] Step 5: After the test is completed, the lifting mechanism 7 drives the carrier plate 4 vertically upward, and the driving plate 501 is rotated to move the connecting rod 503 from the first end to the other end in the transmission guide groove 502. During this process, the qualified valve products 100 are pushed to the outside of the carrier plate 4, and the unqualified valve products 100 remain on the inside of the carrier plate 4;

[0127] Step 6: Remove the valve product 100 on the inner side and the valve product 100 on the outer side of the carrier plate 4 and collect them separately;

[0128] In this embodiment, the order of step 2 and step 3 can be exchanged, that is, the valve product 100 is first placed in the detection liquid, and then the gas is filled into the valve product 100.

[0129] In this embodiment, steps one to six can be completed by one worker or by multiple workers. Specifically, clamping the valve product 100 and picking up and collecting the valve product 100 require workers to have certain experience and operating skills, and generally require professional training. The observation process and the power-on process are relatively simple and can be mastered with simple training. Therefore, different workers can be assigned to the clamping valve product 100 stage, the power-on observation stage, and the picking up and collecting the valve product 100 stage. This can make rational use of labor, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and improve the inspection efficiency of the valve product 100. In addition, multiple inspection devices can be used for inspection at the same time, and one worker observes multiple devices, further improving the inspection efficiency of the valve product 100.
