Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of valve detection, and in particular relates to a multifunctional integrated fire extinguisher valve durability test device. Background Art

[0002] Valves are key components of fire extinguishers subject to mandatory certification, controlling the release of extinguishing agent. Valve durability is a crucial indicator of valve reliability. Performance requirements for fire extinguisher valve durability are set forth in Appendix C.2.10 of the newly released mandatory national standard for fire extinguishers, GB 4351-2023 "Portable Fire Extinguishers," Clause A.2.8 of GB 8109-2023 "Trolley-Type Fire Extinguishers," and Clause 5.3.6 of GB / T 15382-2021 "General Technical Requirements for Gas Cylinder Valves," referenced in Clause 6.2.5 of GB8109-2023 "Trolley-Type Fire Extinguishers." According to national standards, valves for portable fire extinguishers and trolley-type fire extinguishers with a maximum working pressure not exceeding 2.5 MPa must undergo an airtightness test after 500 cycles of full-stroke opening and closing at maximum working pressure. No leakage or rupture should be observed. However, due to the higher maximum working pressure of cart-type CO2 fire extinguisher valves, the national standard has additional regulations: According to the test method in Section 6.11 of GB / T 15382-2021, "General Technical Requirements for Gas Cylinder Valves," the valve must be able to operate normally and meet airtightness requirements after 2000 cycles of opening and closing at the durability torque under the test pressure. In summary, the national standard's requirements for fire extinguisher valve durability testing are mainly divided into three parts: the durability test for portable fire extinguisher valves, the low-pressure valve for cart-type fire extinguishers with a maximum working pressure of no more than 2.5 MPa, and the valve for cart-type CO2 fire extinguishers. These three durability tests require different testing equipment. While the standard requirements for portable fire extinguisher valves and cart-type fire extinguisher valves with a maximum working pressure of no more than 2.5 MPa are similar, requiring only 500 cycles of opening and closing, the valve structures are different and require two sets of workstations to perform the test. Each opening and closing cycle of a cart-mounted CO2 fire extinguisher valve requires specific opening and closing torque and pressure determination, placing high demands on the equipment's station structure and automation level. Current technology often requires three pieces of equipment to conduct durability tests for these three types of fire extinguisher valves. The valve under test must be mounted on a separate, dedicated device, and then the valve opening and closing cycles must be repeated. After the cycles are complete, an airtightness test must be performed on another device to complete the entire durability test. Consequently, existing fire extinguisher valve durability testing equipment has a low level of automation and integration, hindering valve testing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0045] S2. Maintain for 6 seconds. The pressure determination mechanism 9 transmits the data information to the control unit. When the pressure drop detected by the pressure determination mechanism 9 exceeds 1 MPa, the first tested valve 4 is judged to be unqualified and the cycle is terminated. If the pressure drop does not exceed 1 MPa, the valve passes and the cycle continues.

[0046] S3, the control unit controls the electromagnetic exhaust valve 10 to open;

[0047] S4, maintain for 6s, if the pressure determination mechanism 9 recognizes that the pressure rise exceeds 0.5MPa, the control unit controls the torque transmission mechanism 1 to continue to increase the torque, when the torque exceeds T e,end (T e,end (determined by standard GB / T15382-2021), the first tested valve 4 is judged to be unqualified and the cycle is terminated. If the pressure determination mechanism 9 recognizes that the pressure rise does not exceed 0.5MPa, it is qualified and the cycle continues;

[0048] S5, the torque transmission mechanism 1 opens the tested valve 4 No. 1;

[0049] S6, hold for 6 seconds.

[0050] The portable fire extinguisher valve test unit includes a support column 12, a positioning plate 13, a rotating and retracting mechanism 14, a pneumatic telescopic mechanism 15, a pneumatic push rod 16, a push block 17, a No. 2 tooling 20, a No. 2 base 21, a No. 2 charging port 22, and an air supply port 23. The support column 12 is fixedly connected to the machine table, and the pneumatic telescopic mechanism 15 is installed on the top. The pneumatic telescopic mechanism 15 is used to open and close the No. 2 tested valve 19. The No. 2 tooling 20 is located below the pneumatic telescopic mechanism 15 and is used to fix the No. 2 tested valve 19.

Under the action of the air source, the pneumatic push rod 16 can push the push block 17 to reciprocate in the vertical direction.

[0055] The working process of the portable fire extinguisher valve test unit is:

[0056] Because the inlet thread specifications of the second tested valve 19 are common, it must first be installed on the matching second tooling 20 and then on the base 21. The charging port 22 is located on the base 21 and can be used to pressurize the second tested valve 19. When conducting the portable fire extinguisher valve durability test according to the standard GB 4351-2023 "Portable Fire Extinguishers," the rotating locking mechanism 14 locks the pneumatic expansion mechanism 15 to the appropriate test position. The pneumatic conditions of the pneumatic expansion mechanism 15 require an external air source. This can be supplied to the pneumatic expansion mechanism 15's air supply port 23 by an air compressor (the air compressor signal is connected to the control unit). The air is then charged to the standard pressure of the second tested valve 19 through the second charging port 22, completing the pre-test preparations. The push block 17 presses down on the second tested valve 19 to open it. When the push block 17 is raised above the pressure handle 18 of the second tested valve 19, the second tested valve 19 is closed.

[0062] The working process of the low-pressure valve test unit of the trolley fire extinguisher is:

[0063] When conducting a durability test of low-pressure valves on cart-type fire extinguishers with a maximum operating pressure not exceeding 2.5 MPa, according to the standard GB 8109-2023 "Trolley-Type Fire Extinguishers," the operating lever 34 of the No. 3 tested valve (35) is opened and closed by locking the slide plate 27 to the appropriate test position via the No. 2 rotary locking mechanism 26. External air is supplied by an air compressor to the No. 2 air inlet 30 of the pneumatic telescopic mechanism 29, which is then pressurized to the specified pressure of the No. 3 tested valve (35) through the No. 3 pressure charging port 37, completing pre-test preparations.

[0067] According to the standards GB 8109-2023 "Trolley-Type Fire Extinguishers" and GB 4351-2023 "Portable Fire Extinguishers," durability testing for low-pressure valves on trolley-type fire extinguishers and portable fire extinguisher valves with a maximum operating pressure of no more than 2.5 MPa requires, in addition to completing 500 cycles of opening and closing, an air-tightness test. After completing the durability test, the valves can be directly installed in the air-tightness test unit for an air-tightness test. During the test, clamp the notch between the lower cover 39 and the lower cover 40 with a vise to ensure a seal between the two. Then, fill the transparent water tank from above the observation cover 38 to a level that submerges the highest point of the valve 44 by more than 50 mm. When the pressure is charged to the standard pressure through the No. 4 charging port 42, the airtightness performance of the valve 44 under test can be observed through the transparent water tank observation cover 38.

[0068] The device of this solution integrates the automatic opening and closing cycle stations and air tightness stations of three different types of fire extinguisher valves into one set of equipment. It has a high degree of automation and integration, and can greatly improve the durability detection efficiency of the valves.

[0069] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
