It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

Specific implementation mode
[0019] As shown in the accompanying drawings, this implementation mode provides a pressure reducing valve test system, including a water source 1 and a return water pressure stabilizing system 2. The return water pressure stabilizing system 2 is connected to the water source 1 through a return water pump 3 and a return water pipeline 4. A first liquid level gauge 36 for monitoring the test water level is arranged at the water source 1, and a second liquid level gauge 37 for monitoring the water level of the return water pressure stabilizing system 2 is arranged in the return water pressure stabilizing system 2. Whether the water volume of the water source 1 can be used for the test is judged by observing the first liquid level gauge 36, and whether the return water pump 3 can be started to transport the test water back to the water source 1 is judged by observing the second liquid level gauge 37.
[0020] The water outlet pipeline 5 of the water source 1 is connected to the input end of the first pressure stabilizing tank 6. A first stop valve 7, a first ball valve 8, a first main pump 9 and a second stop valve 10 are arranged on the water outlet pipeline 5 in sequence from the water source 1 end. The test water in the water source 1 enters the water outlet pipeline 5 through the first stop valve 7. When the first ball valve 8 is opened, the test water enters the main pump to boost the pressure, and then the second stop valve 10 is opened, and the test water enters the first pressure stabilizing tank 6. A first pressure sensor 30 and a first temperature sensor 31 are arranged on the first pressure stabilizing tank 6. The signals of the first pressure sensor 30 and the first temperature sensor 31 are both transmitted to the acquisition system. The temperature and pressure of the test water in the first pressure stabilizing tank 6 are transmitted to the acquisition system through the first temperature sensor 31 and the first pressure sensor 30.
[0021] A pressure regulating pipeline 12 with an electric control valve 11 is also branched on the water outlet pipeline 5. The pressure regulating pipeline 12 is connected back to the water source 1, and the required pressure is achieved by adjusting the electric control valve 11.
[0022] A safety overpressure protection pipeline 26 with a safety valve 25 is also branched on the water outlet pipeline 5. The safety valve 25 automatically opens for overpressure safety protection after the system pressure exceeds the safety value.
[0023] A standby pipeline 29 with a second ball valve 27 and a second main pump 28 is arranged in parallel with the first ball valve 8 and the first main pump 9 on the water outlet pipeline 5. During normal tests, only the first ball valve 8 and the first main pump 9 are opened. When the first ball valve 8 or the second main pump 28 is damaged or needs maintenance, the standby second ball valve 27 and the second main pump 28 are then opened to ensure that the test can proceed normally.
[0024] A first check valve 34 and a third ball valve 35 are also arranged at the front end of the first stop valve 7 on the water outlet pipeline 5. The third ball valve 35 can be used to control the switch of the overall water outlet pipeline 5, and the first check valve 34 can prevent the test water from flowing back reversely after each main pump starts.
[0025] The output end of the first pressure stabilizing tank 6 is connected in parallel with a plurality of test pipelines 13. Each test pipeline 13 is used to set the valve under test 14, and the pipe diameters of the test pipelines 13 can be set according to different test requirements.
[0026] When a general test for verifying the factory performance is required, since there are many specifications of the valves under test 14, in order to avoid the time for replacement and improve efficiency, the pipe diameters of the test pipelines 13 can be set to different pipe diameters according to the diameters of the different valves under test 14 corresponding to the test to be performed, and the different valves under test 14 are installed on the corresponding test pipelines 13 according to the corresponding diameter sizes to conduct the general test simultaneously.
[0027] When the performance of multiple valves under test 14 of the same specification needs to be identified, in order to avoid the contingency of the test, the pipe diameters of the test pipelines 13 are set to the same pipe diameters corresponding to the valve under test 14 to be identified according to the diameter of the same valve under test 14 to be identified, and multiple valves under test 14 of the same specification are respectively installed on the test pipelines 13 to conduct the identification test.
[0028] A third stop valve 15 and a front pressure sensor 16 are arranged at the front end of each test pipeline 13 at the position where the valve under test 14 is set. When the third stop valve 15 is opened, the front pressure sensor 16 is used to collect the inlet pressure of the valve under test 14 on the corresponding test pipeline 13.
[0029] At the rear end of each test pipeline 13 where the valve under test 14 is installed, a post-pressure sensor 17, a pressure relief branch pipeline 18, a flowmeter 19, a fourth stop valve 20, and a normally closed solenoid valve 21 are provided. A pressure relief solenoid valve 22 is provided on the pressure relief branch pipeline 18. Signals from the pre-pressure sensor 16, the post-pressure sensor 17, and the flowmeter 19 are all transmitted to the acquisition system. The post-valve pressure is set. The post-pressure sensor 17 collects the pressure after the valve under test 14 and transmits it to the acquisition system. When the safety value is exceeded, the control system controls the pressure relief solenoid valve 22 to automatically open for pressure relief to protect the valve under test 14 from being damaged. The required test flow rate or post-valve pressure is achieved by adjusting the fourth stop valve 20. The flow rate is monitored by the flowmeter 19 and transmitted to the acquisition system. The normally closed solenoid valve 21 opens after being powered on. The switch interval time and the total number of times of the normally closed solenoid valve 21 are set, and the continuous operation test of the valve under test 14 is started.
[0030] The ends of all the test pipelines 13 are jointly connected to the input end of the second pressure stabilizing tank 23. A second pressure sensor 32 and a second temperature sensor 33 are provided on the second pressure stabilizing tank 23. Signals from the second pressure sensor 32 and the second temperature sensor 33 are both transmitted to the acquisition system. The test water enters the second pressure stabilizing tank 23 through each test pipeline 13. The temperature and pressure of the test water in the second pressure stabilizing tank 23 are respectively transmitted to the acquisition system through the second temperature sensor 33 and the second pressure sensor 32. The output end of the second pressure stabilizing tank 23 is connected to the return water pressure stabilizing system 2 through a pressure stabilizing water pipeline 24. When the second liquid level gauge 37 monitors and reaches the preset value, the return water pump 3 is started to transmit the test water back to the water source 1. A second check valve 38 is provided on the return water pipeline 4 to prevent the reverse flow of the test water.
[0031] It can be understood that the above specific description of the present invention is only for explaining the present invention and is not limited to the technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the present invention can still be modified or equivalently replaced to achieve the same technical effect; as long as the use requirements are met, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
