Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pressure vessel testing, in particular to a pressure testing device for a pressure vessel. Background Art

[0002] A hydrogen storage tank is a special container for storing hydrogen. It is widely used in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, industrial gas storage, and energy reserves. Since hydrogen is a highly flammable and explosive gas, it has strict requirements for the storage environment. Hydrogen storage tanks must not only have extremely high strength and pressure resistance, but also maintain excellent air tightness to prevent hydrogen leakage. Hydrogen storage tanks must withstand the storage of high-pressure hydrogen during use, so their tank materials and structures must be able to withstand high-pressure environments for a long time. The main purpose of pressure testing is to ensure that hydrogen storage tanks will not deform, crack, or explode due to excessive pressure during filling and use. Through pressure testing, the pressure resistance of hydrogen storage tanks can be verified, potential structural problems can be detected in the early stage, and their safety and reliability can be ensured.

[0003] Common pressure testing methods include: water pressure test, which involves filling the hydrogen storage tank with water and then applying a high pressure that exceeds its working pressure. The advantage of water pressure is that liquid is not easily compressed and is highly safe. If the tank is ruptured or leaks, water will not react violently like gas, and the tank will be observed during the test to detect deformation, leakage or other damage.

[0004] During the hydrostatic test, the hydrogen storage tank needs to be firmly fixed to prevent displacement, vibration or rotation during the pressurization process. Due to the large size and various shapes of hydrogen storage tanks, the clamping device needs to be designed to adapt to tanks of different sizes and geometries and provide sufficient force during the pressurization process to prevent loosening. However, traditional clamping devices may not provide uniform clamping force, especially when the pressure is high, which may cause uneven force on the tank, thus affecting the test results.

[0005] The existing Chinese patent application with publication number CN108709797A discloses a new type of pressure vessel water pressure test device and test method, including a base, a rocker and a water injection pipe, a slide rail is arranged on the base, and a sliding plate is installed on the inner side of the slide rail, a soft pad is installed on the upper side of the sliding plate, and baffles are arranged on the front and rear sides of the soft pad, the support frame is installed at the upper position of the base, and a support ring sleeve is connected to the upper side of the support frame, a hydraulic rod is arranged on the inner side of the support ring sleeve, and a fixed clamp block is installed on the inner side of the hydraulic rod, and an anti-wear rubber pad is arranged on the inner side of the fixed clamp block, the rocker is located at the front end of the support frame, and explosion-proof glass is installed on the rear side of the rocker. The new pressure vessel water pressure test device is equipped with multiple sets of support frames, hydraulic rods and fixed clamp blocks, which is convenient for synchronous testing of multiple pressure vessels with different diameters, improves the work efficiency of water pressure detection of staff, and enhances the practicality of the device.

[0006] However, since the drainage problem is not considered in the above-mentioned device, the drainage process takes too long, and the water cannot be discharged in time, affecting subsequent drying steps, resulting in low actual detection efficiency. Therefore, it is not suitable for actual production. At the same time, defective gas tanks may cause accidents such as tank explosion during water pressure testing, and injure operators observing closely. Therefore, a pressure vessel detection device is needed that records pressurization data according to the process position, so as to predict the gas tank based on the image comparison before and after the detection, thereby reducing safety accidents and improving detection efficiency.

[0053] The telescopic rod 2004 is slidably disposed in the telescopic hole 2005 and slides along the radial direction of the swing shaft 200 . The telescopic rod 2004 and the telescopic hole 2005 are also disposed along the radial direction of the swing shaft 200 .

[0054] More preferably, the first elastic member 2026 in this embodiment is a spring, and the spring is used to pull the moving subframe 2003 to retract towards the stator frame 2002 .

[0055] There are two stator frames 2002 and two mover frames 2003 , which are symmetrically arranged. In this embodiment, the two stator frames 2002 are fixed on the outer wall of the swing arm 2001 .

[0056] Preferably, a first rotating shaft 2006 is provided on the stator frame 2002, and the first rotating shaft 2006 passes through the stator frame 2002, and a first transmission wheel 2007 and a driving wheel 2008 are respectively provided on both sides thereof. A second rotating shaft 2009 is rotatably provided on the stator frame 2002 near the first transmission wheel 2007, and a second transmission wheel 2011 is fixedly embedded on the second rotating shaft 2009.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 2006 rotates and passes through the stator frame 2002. The first transmission wheel 2007 and the second transmission wheel 2011 are bevel gears.

[0060] The fourth transmission wheel 2014 is a hollow bevel gear, the water spray nozzle 400 is rotatably arranged inside the fourth transmission wheel 2014 through a rotary joint, and the water spray nozzle 400 is coaxially arranged with the fourth transmission wheel 2014 and the positioning plug 300.

[0061] Furthermore, a fixing plug 2016 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the water spray nozzle 400 close to the gas tank 100, and a sealing gasket 2015 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing plug 2016. The fixing plug 2016 is movably engaged with the opening of the gas tank 100, and a vacuum suction cup 2017 is provided on the mover frame 2003 on the other side.

[0062] The vacuum suction cup 217 is fixedly attached to the center of the outer wall end surface of the gas tank 100. The vacuum suction cup 217 and the fixing plug 216 are coaxially arranged. In this embodiment, the opening of the gas tank 100 adopts a pipe thread, and the fixing plug 216 is also provided with an external thread. The fixing and removal of the gas tank 100 are performed by rotating the fixing plug 216.

[0063] More preferably, when the gas tank 100 needs to be fixed and filled with water, the vacuum suction cup 2017 is in working condition, sucking the gas tank 100 to fix it. At this time, the rotating fixing plug 2016 will be fixed and removed from the gas tank 100. When the inspection of the gas tank 100 is completed, the swing shaft 200 swings to the opening facing downward, and the water flows out automatically after the fixing plug 2016 is removed, thereby increasing the drainage speed and facilitating the subsequent drying inspection process.

[0064] More preferably, in other embodiments, the vacuum suction cup 2017 and the movable frame 2003 are rotatably arranged, and the vacuum suction cup 2017 is controlled by a servo motor. When draining water, the vacuum suction cup 2017 is controlled to rotate by the servo motor to throw out the internal water flow and speed up the drying process.

[0065] The pressure testing device for the pressure vessel further comprises a transmission mechanism, including a support platform 4001 , on which a conveying rod 402 is disposed, on which a conveying wheel 403 is rotatably disposed, and an outer wall of each conveying wheel 403 is simultaneously sleeved with a conveying belt 404 .

Each conveying wheel 403 on the single-sided conveying rod 402 is provided with a conveyor belt 404. The two conveyor belts 404 jointly clamp and position the gas cylinder 100, and the conveying wheels 403 on both sides turn in opposite directions, thereby jointly conveying the gas cylinder 100 forward in a vertical posture.

[0067] Among them, the gas tank 100 is a type 4 hydrogen storage tank liner that has been preliminarily processed and is made of composite materials. The surface of the conveyor belt 404 is wear-resistant rubber to increase the contact area with the gas tank 100 to prevent the gas tank 100 from being deformed due to excessive clamping force.

[0068] More preferably, the water jacket box 401 is filled with liquid. After the gas tank 100 is filled with liquid, the water nozzle 400 and the one-way valve are used to pressurize the gas tank 100 to perform internal pressure and sealing tests. The sealing performance is determined by detecting the pressure change. When the gas tank 100 is filled with air but not liquid, the liquid that penetrates into the inner wall of the outer water jacket box 401 is observed to determine the anti-permeability performance, and to detect whether the permeability requirements of the hydrogen storage tank are met.

[0069] The water jacket box 401 is made of high-strength steel, which plays a protective role when the gas tank 100 breaks or explodes, thereby protecting personal safety.

[0070] In summary, when in use, the gas tank 100 is clamped and conveyed forward by the two conveyor belts 404, and the gas tank 100 enters the two mover frames 2003 on the clamping frame 201 in a vertical posture with the opening facing upward. At this time, the driving wheel 2008 is controlled to rotate, driving the first rotating shaft 2006 and the second rotating shaft 2009 to rotate, and the vacuum suction cup 217 starts the supporting column gas tank 100 and fixes it, so that each transmission wheel drives the fixing plug 216 to rotate and engage and seal with the gas tank 100, and then water is injected and the gas in the gas tank 100 is discharged through the one-way valve and the exhaust valve until the gas tank 100 is filled with liquid;

[0071] At the same time, the swing shaft 200 and the swing arm 2001 are controlled to rotate 90° clockwise, and the gas tank 100 follows the clamping frame 201 into the water jacket box 401 and is immersed in water. At this time, the water nozzle 400 continues to pressurize to the pressure required for detection, and pressure and air tightness detection are performed. After the detection is completed, the swing shaft 200 continues to rotate 90° clockwise, so that the gas tank 100 is rotated out of the water jacket box 401 in a vertical posture with the opening downward, and then the driving wheel 2008 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the fixing plug 2016 rotates slowly and separates from the gas tank 100, and the gas tank 100 slowly flows out along the opening below, and it is convenient for the staff to perform the wiping and drying steps, realizing the integrated setting of the fixing, water injection, detection and drainage processes, optimizing the process steps, and improving the detection efficiency.

[0080] More preferably, in this embodiment, the vacuum suction cup 2017 is rotatably arranged on the mover frame 2003, and the rotation of the vacuum suction cup 2017 is controlled by a motor. When the motor is not powered, the vacuum suction cup 2017 can rotate freely, and when the motor is powered, it can only stay still or move with the motor.

[0081] Exemplarily, when the first roller 3007 rolls from the surface of the second roller 3008 to the surface of the cam 3009, the first roller 3007 and the platform 3006 are pushed to move outward, thereby pushing the gas tank 100 downward into the water jacket box 401 and immersing it in water. When it needs to be taken out for observation, the driving wheel 2008 rotates in the opposite direction, and the second roller 3008 rotates in the opposite direction to cause the platform 3006 and the first roller 3007 to rebound, thereby causing the movable frame 2003 to rebound. At this time, the motor is not energized, and the gas tank 100 can be driven to rotate by the second rotating shaft 2009 to shake off water droplets on the surface. At the same time, the rotation of the gas tank 100 facilitates the visual sensor inside the water jacket box 401 to collect and detect images in a three-dimensional manner to determine whether there are crack defects.

[0082] Example 3

[0083] Reference Figure 1-Figure 8 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs in that the control unit coordinates the rotation of the driving teeth 1008 and the swing shaft 200 to improve the detection efficiency, and uses the visual acquisition unit to make a preliminary judgment. When encountering defective products that may explode, drainage is performed, and manual review is subsequently performed, thereby improving the detection safety and detection efficiency.

[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, a cavity 1001 is opened in the driving wheel 2008 , half teeth 1002 are coaxially arranged in the cavity 1001 , and inner teeth 1003 are arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the cavity 1001 .

[0085] More preferably, the end surface of the cavity 1001 is rotatably provided with a driving tooth 1008 , and the driving tooth 1008 is meshed with any one of the inner teeth 1003 and the half teeth 1002 at any time.

[0086] The cavity 1001 is circular, the inner teeth 1003 are distributed on the inner wall of the cavity 1001 in a semicircular array, and the half teeth 1002 are half gears with half teeth.

[0087] More preferably, the half teeth 1002 and the inner teeth 1003 rotate integrally with the driving wheel 2008 , and the driving teeth 1008 and the swing shaft 200 rotate at the same angular velocity.

[0088] It also includes a control module, which is equipped with a control system. The control system is used to control the driving teeth 1008 and the swing shaft 200 to rotate at the same angular velocity. The control system also includes an information acquisition unit and a suction cup adjustment unit. The information acquisition unit includes a pressure sensor and a flow sensor arranged inside the water nozzle 400 for detecting and recording the amount of liquid entering the gas tank 100 and the water pressure. The suction cup adjustment unit is used to control the on / off state and rotation rate of the motor of the vacuum suction cup 2017.

[0089] More preferably, the information collection unit also includes a visual collection unit arranged inside the water jacket box 401, and the visual collection unit is used to collect image information of each surface of the gas tank 100 before and after detection. The control system also includes a judgment unit, which receives the pressure magnitude of the gas tank 100 and compares it with the set detection pressure magnitude, and at the same time receives the detection surface image information and performs comparative analysis. For images whose difference values ​​exceed the set threshold, an alarm is issued and the drive wheel 2008 is controlled to rotate as a whole to the outside of the water jacket box 401 and discharge water pressure, so as to perform manual inspection on the surface of the gas tank 100 in a safe scenario to avoid risks such as tank explosion during the manual inspection process.

[0090] Among them, the first roller 3007 is in contact with the second roller 3008 in the initial state. When the second roller 3008 rotates 90°, the first roller 3007 rolls to the cam 3009 on the second roller 3008, and the driving tooth 1008 engages with the center position of the half tooth 1002 at the initial moment. After the driving tooth 1008 rotates 90°, it starts to engage with the inner tooth 1003.

[0091] In summary, after the gas tank 100 enters the clamping frame 201 from the conveying mechanism, the suction cup adjustment unit controls the vacuum suction cup 2017 to adsorb and adhere to the bottom of the gas tank 100 and starts the motor so that the vacuum suction cup 2017 and the gas tank 100 are in a fixed state. The control system controls the driving teeth 1008 and the swing shaft 200 to rotate at the same angular velocity. After the swing shaft 200 rotates 90°, the gas tank 100 enters the water jacket box 401 and is parallel to the liquid level.

[0092] At the same time, the driving tooth 1008 first meshes with the half tooth 1002 and drives the driving wheel 2008 and the first rotating shaft 2006 to rotate, thereby driving the positioning plug 300 to rotate through the second rotating shaft 2009, and at the same time, the circular surface of the second roller 3008 drives the first roller 3007 to rotate, and drives the third rotating shaft 3013 and the first round tooth 3012 to rotate through the fifth transmission wheel 3014 and the sixth transmission wheel 3015, and the two toothed bars 3011 slide in opposite directions and drive the sub-rod 3003 to shrink into the mother rod 3002, so that the two symmetrically arranged movable sub-frames 2003 and the stator frame 2002 approach each other, so that the positioning plug 300 rotates into the opening of the gas tank 100 to achieve sealing, and with continued rotation and the two movable sub-frames 2003 approaching each other, the soft sealing pad 2015 begins to deform and fit with the opening of the gas tank 100 for sealing, and at this time the suction cup adjustment unit turns off the motor so that the vacuum suction cup 2017 can rotate freely.

[0093] When the driving tooth 1008 rotates 90°, the first roller 3007 just rolls to the cam 3009 on the second roller 3008. At this time, the cam 3009 pushes the first roller 3007 and the mover frame 2003 to move outward. At the same time, the gas tank 100 is put into the liquid surface, and the rotation of the positioning plug 300 will drive the gas tank 100 to rotate, which is convenient for the visual acquisition unit to collect images. Then the water nozzle 400 is pressurized and the internal pressure is detected by the pressure sensor. When a pressure drop exceeding the threshold occurs during the pressurization process, it proves that there is a problem with the air tightness.

[0094] After the detection is completed, the driving teeth 1008 begin to mesh with the inner teeth 1003, and drive the driving wheel 2008 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the gas tank 100 rotates in the opposite direction from the water jacket box 401 to leave the liquid surface. The visual acquisition unit performs a second image acquisition and comparative analysis. When the set distinction threshold is exceeded, the suction cup adjustment unit turns on the motor to make the vacuum suction cup 2017 rotate forward, and the gas tank 100 and the fixed plug 2016 are quickly disassembled to release the pressure. After the pressure is safely released, a manual inspection is performed; when the distinction threshold is not exceeded, the suction cup adjustment unit turns on the motor to make the vacuum suction cup 2017 immobile. With the reverse rotation of the driving wheel 2008, the fixed plug 2016 slowly separates from the gas tank 100, and the water flows slowly downward from the opening of the gas tank 100 to prevent the pressure from being released too quickly to cause drastic stress changes on the tank structure, and even cause damage or deformation of the tank material. At the same time, the two mover frames 2003 are away from each other, which is convenient for the subsequent drying step process of the gas tank 100, thereby improving the sealing detection efficiency and the safety of the detection process.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
