DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. 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.

[0022] Embodiment:

[0023] Refer to Figure 1-Figure 5A plastic pipe multi-purpose in-pipe pressure testing machine shown in the figure includes a protective box 1. Inside the protective box 1, a detection bracket 2 is rotatably connected. On the outside of the protective box 1, a rotation drive component is provided. On the upper side of the detection bracket 2, a pipe length adjustment component 4 is slidably connected. The pipe length adjustment component 4 includes a slide seat 401, a limit frame 402, a handle 403, a first spring 404, and a plug 405. A plug-in cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the slide seat 401. Pipe head automatic clamps 6 are provided on the slide table of the plug-in cylinder 5 and the lower part of the detection bracket 2. The pipe head automatic clamp 6 includes a main shaft 601, two clamping hoops 602 hinged on the main shaft 601, a second spring 603 located between the two clamping hoops 602, and a clamping cylinder 604. A first plug 7 is provided between the two clamping hoops 602 of the pipe head automatic clamp 6 on the slide table of the plug-in cylinder 5. A second plug 8 is provided between the two clamping hoops 602 of the pipe head automatic clamp 6 on the detection bracket 2. A water injection hole 801 is provided on the second plug 8.

[0024] On the upper side of the detection bracket 2, a guide groove 201 is opened. On both sides of the guide groove 201, a plurality of limit holes 202 are opened. When adjusting the position of the slide seat 401, the guide groove 201 can guide the adjustment of the slide seat 401, and the limit holes 202 are used to match the plug 405 to lock the position of the slide seat 401. When performing the adjustment action, by pulling the handle 403, the plug 405 is disengaged from the current limit hole 202. Then, after sliding the slide seat 401, the handle 403 is released. Under the action of the first spring 404, the plug 405 is inserted into the corresponding limit hole 202 to lock the position.

[0025] The rotation drive component includes a rotation motor 301 and a transmission component 302. The rotation motor 301 and the protective box 1 are configured to drive the detection bracket 2 to flip to a horizontal state and a vertical state.

[0026] The main shaft 601 is fixedly connected to the slide table of the plug-in cylinder 5 or the detection bracket 2. The clamping hoop 602 can rotate around the main shaft 601. A silica gel layer can be provided on the inner wall of the clamping hoop 602 to provide buffering when clamping the end of the pipe fitting. A hem is provided at one end of the clamping hoop 602 away from the main shaft 601, and the hem has a rounded corner. A U-shaped push block 605 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 604. By extending the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 604, the U-shaped push block 605 can squeeze the hems of the two clamping hoops 602 to clamp the pipe fitting. The second spring 603 is located between the hems of the two clamping hoops 602, and the second spring 603 can reset the clamping hoop 602 after the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 604 retracts. Annular grooves are provided on both the first plug 7 and the second plug 8, and a silica gel sleeve 9 is sleeved in the annular groove. The silica gel sleeve 9 is used to form a seal with the inner wall of the pipe fitting.

[0027] On the side of the protective box 1, there is a water inlet pipe 101, and at the bottom of the protective box 1, there is a drain port 102. A flexible water pipe is provided between the water inlet pipe 101 and the second plug 8. Water is added and pressurized into the pipe fittings through the water inlet pipe 101. The upper part of the protective box 1 is hinged with a box cover 103. During testing, the box cover 103 is closed to prevent water and debris from splashing out when the plastic pipe bursts. The drain port 102 is located in the middle of the protective box 1, and guide plates 10 are inclined on both sides of the drain port 102. The water involved converges towards the drain port 102 through the guide plates 10 and is discharged.

[0028] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: Before detection, first adjust the position of the sliding seat 401 according to the length of the pipe fitting to be measured. When performing the adjustment operation, pull the handle 403 to make the plug pin 405 disengage from the current limiting hole 202. Then, after sliding the sliding seat 401, release the handle 403. Under the action of the first spring 404, the plug pin 405 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 202 to lock the position.

[0029] When performing positioning and clamping, open the box cover 103, insert the lower end of the pipe fitting to be measured onto the second plug 8 (to ensure normal feeding of the pipe fitting, the distance between the first plug 7 and the second plug 8 is greater than the pipe length of the pipe fitting to be measured at this time). Then, a clamping action is performed at the first plug 7. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder 604 extends, and the U-shaped push block 605 pushes two clamping rings 602 to clamp the outer wall of the pipe fitting. After that, water is injected into the pipe fitting through the water injection hole 801 (the pipe fitting is in a vertical state at this time). After the injection is completed, the piston rod of the insertion cylinder 5 extends, and the first plug 7 plugs the upper end of the inserted pipe fitting. Then, the pipe fitting automatic fixture 6 clamps the outer wall of the upper end of the pipe fitting. After the clamping is completed, the rotation motor 301 and the transmission component 302 drive the detection bracket 2 to flip to a horizontal state. At this time, close the box cover 103. An observation window can be set on the protective box 1. Different hydraulic pressures are applied to the pipe fitting through the water injection hole and an external hydraulic system, observe whether the pipe fitting bursts during the pressure test, and record the hydraulic data when the pipe fitting bursts to complete the detection.
