DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The features and performance of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0020] The disc spring operating mechanism control valve testing device of the present invention can provide high-pressure oil to the control valve to be tested through an accumulator, so as to increase the test pressure to be consistent with the working pressure of the disc spring operating mechanism, thereby simulating the actual working condition of the control valve. At the same time, when testing the control valve, the control valve can be directly installed on the testing device for testing, thereby reducing the testing cost.

[0021] In a basic embodiment, Figure 1As shown, an oil tank 2 and an accumulator 3 are installed below the bracket 1. The oil tank 2 and the accumulator 3 are located at both ends of the bracket 1 respectively. A mounting block 4 is installed above the bracket 1. The mounting block 4 can be used to install the control valve to be tested. Figure 2 As shown, a high-pressure oil hole 42, a low-pressure oil hole 41 and an output oil hole 43 are provided in the mounting block 4, and the high-pressure oil hole 42, the low-pressure oil hole 41 and the output oil hole 43 are respectively connected with the high-pressure chamber, the low-pressure chamber and the output chamber of the control valve to be tested, and the low-pressure oil hole 41 is connected with the oil tank 2 through the first oil pipe 9. An accumulator high-pressure chamber 34 and an accumulator low-pressure chamber 35 are provided in the accumulator 3, and the accumulator low-pressure chamber 35 is connected with the oil tank 2 through the second oil pipe 10. The accumulator high-pressure chamber 34 of the accumulator 3 is connected with the high-pressure oil hole 42 of the mounting block 4. The accumulator 3 can make the test pressure of the control valve to be tested consistent with the working pressure of the disc spring operating mechanism, so as to simulate the real working state of the control valve.

[0022] In other embodiments, since different control valves have different interface sizes, mounting blocks 4 of different sizes can be replaced to test the control valve, and the entire disc spring operating mechanism control valve testing device can be universal.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, a first auxiliary oil hole 44 and a second auxiliary oil hole 45 are respectively opened on the output oil hole 43 and the high-pressure oil hole 42 of the mounting block 4, and a signal cylinder 6 is installed on the mounting block 4. Figure 3 As shown, the signal cylinder 6 includes a signal cylinder body 61, a signal cylinder piston rod 62 and a micro switch 63. A signal cylinder rodless chamber 64 and a signal cylinder rod chamber 65 are provided in the signal cylinder 6. The signal cylinder rodless chamber 64 is connected with the output oil hole 43 of the mounting block 4 through the first auxiliary oil hole 44, and the signal cylinder rod chamber 65 is connected with the high-pressure oil hole 42 of the mounting block 4 through the second auxiliary oil hole 45. When the control valve to be tested is in the closed state, the signal cylinder rodless chamber 64 is filled with high-pressure oil. At this time, the signal cylinder piston rod 62 is moved to the right by a rightward force, and the signal cylinder piston rod 62 triggers the micro switch 63 to close the micro switch 63, and transmits a control valve closing signal to the control system of the test device. When the control valve to be tested is in the open state, the signal cylinder rodless chamber 64 is filled with low-pressure oil, and the signal cylinder piston rod 62 is moved to the left by a leftward force. At this time, the micro switch 63 is disconnected, and a control valve opening signal is transmitted to the control system, thereby testing the switching performance and mechanical reliability of the control valve.

[0024] In other embodiments, oil pressure sensors may be installed in the first auxiliary oil hole 44 and the second auxiliary oil hole 45 to monitor changes in system pressure and oil pressure fluctuations in the output chamber of the control valve during the test, and indirectly test the state switching process of the control valve to make the test result more accurate.

[0025] The signal cylinder 6 and the oil pressure sensor can also be used to test the mechanical life of the control valve, and to test the discreteness of the control valve's actions under various states such as continuous action and intermittent action.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the accumulator 3 refers to the structure of the disc spring mechanism and uses a combined disc spring 32 to store energy, so that the real working pressure of the control valve in the disc spring operating mechanism can be achieved. A combined disc spring 32 is arranged below the accumulator cylinder 31, and an accumulator piston rod 33 is arranged inside the accumulator cylinder 31. The accumulator piston rod 33 and the accumulator cylinder 31 are sealed by a first sliding seal ring 301 and a second sliding seal ring 302. A pressure plate 36 is arranged above the combined disc spring 32, and a fixed plate 37 is arranged below the combined disc spring 32. The combined disc spring 32, the pressure plate 36 and the fixed plate 37 are installed on the accumulator cylinder 31 through studs 38. The accumulator piston rod 33 moves downward under the action of the high-pressure oil in the accumulator high-pressure chamber 34, and the accumulator piston rod 33 pushes the pressure plate 36 to move downward. The pressure plate 36 compresses the combined disc spring 32 to achieve high-pressure energy storage, providing the control valve with a real working pressure in the disc spring operating mechanism.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting pipe 39 is provided on the accumulator cylinder 31, and the high-pressure oil hole 42 of the mounting block 4 is connected to the accumulator high-pressure chamber 34 through the connecting pipe 39. The connecting pipe 39 can reduce the leakage of oil at the connection position between the high-pressure oil hole 42 and the accumulator high-pressure chamber 34.

[0028] In other embodiments, the high-pressure oil hole 42 may be directly connected to the high-pressure chamber 34 of the accumulator, and a sealing ring may be provided at the connection position between the high-pressure oil hole 42 and the high-pressure chamber 34 of the accumulator to also reduce oil leakage.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a pressure relief valve 7 is installed on the bracket 1, and the pressure relief valve 7 is connected to the accumulator high-pressure chamber 34. When the test is completed or the test oil pressure needs to be lowered, the pressure can be released through the pressure relief valve 7 to ensure safety during the test.

[0030] In other embodiments, the accumulator high-pressure chamber 34 is connected to the oil tank 2 through an oil pipe, and a solenoid valve for controlling on / off is provided on the oil pipe. When the test is completed or the oil pressure needs to be lowered, the solenoid valve can be opened to connect the accumulator high-pressure chamber 34 with the oil tank 2, thereby reducing the oil pressure in the accumulator high-pressure chamber 34.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, an oil drain valve 8 is provided on the oil tank 2 , and the oil in the oil tank 2 can be drained through the oil drain valve 8 when the testing device is not in use.

[0032] In other embodiments, when the testing device is not in use, the oil tank 2 can be disassembled and the oil in the oil tank 2 can be drained.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the output oil hole 43 of the mounting block 4 is a blind hole, which reduces the working displacement of the control valve while ensuring that the control valve can move normally. In other embodiments, the output oil hole 43 can be a through hole, and the output oil hole 43 is connected to the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, which does not affect the test of the control valve.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the accumulator high pressure chamber 34 is connected to a motor oil pump 5 to provide high pressure oil to the accumulator high pressure chamber 34. In other embodiments, the accumulator high pressure chamber 34 may be connected to a hydraulic cylinder or other device that can provide high pressure oil.

[0035] The specific implementation of the disc spring operating mechanism control valve testing device of the present invention is as follows: When testing the control valve, the control valve is mounted on the mounting block 4 accordingly, and the motor oil pump 5 pumps high-pressure oil into the high-pressure chamber 34 of the accumulator. The accumulator piston rod 33 moves downward under the action of the high-pressure oil, driving the pressure plate 36 to compress the combined disc spring 32 to store energy. The high-pressure oil in the high-pressure chamber 34 of the accumulator enters the high-pressure chamber of the control valve through the high-pressure oil hole 42 of the mounting block 4 under the action of the motor oil pump 5 and the combined disc spring 32, providing the control valve with a pressure consistent with the working pressure of the disc spring operating mechanism, simulating the real working pressure of the control valve, and the low-pressure chamber of the control valve is connected to the oil tank through the low-pressure oil hole 41 of the mounting block 4; when the control valve is in the closed state, the output chamber and The output oil hole 43 of the mounting block 4 is in a high-pressure state, and the signal cylinder rodless chamber 64 in the signal cylinder 6 is also in a high-pressure state. At this time, the signal cylinder piston rod 62 will be moved to the right by a rightward force, and the signal cylinder piston rod 62 will trigger the microswitch 63 to close the microswitch 63, and transmit the control valve closing signal to the control system of the test device; when the control valve is in the open state, the signal cylinder rodless chamber 64 is converted to low-pressure oil, and the signal cylinder piston rod 62 is moved to the left by a leftward force. At this time, the microswitch 63 is disconnected, and the control valve opening signal is transmitted to the control system, thereby realizing the test of the control valve. The sealing performance and mechanical reliability of the control valve can be obtained through repeated tests.
