Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas cylinder pressure fatigue testing technology, specifically, it relates to a test device and method for gas cylinder pulse high-pressure cycle. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development needs of manned lunar landing propulsion systems, a high-pressure composite gas cylinder for long-term on-orbit operation has been developed. Since the pressure of the gas cylinder will change due to changes in ambient temperature during long-term on-orbit operation, it is necessary to conduct 10,000 pressure cycle tests based on the operation process. At the same time, based on the relationship between the pressure and temperature of the gas cylinder, it is calculated that the pressure range of the gas cylinder fluctuates within a certain high pressure range. Therefore, in order to verify the impact of pressure changes on the performance of the gas cylinder, it is necessary to conduct pulse pressure cycle tests on the gas cylinder to quickly achieve 10,000 pressure fatigue cycles.

[0003] Patent document CN119197940A discloses a pressure testing method and apparatus for a gas cylinder. The method involves injecting purified water into the gas cylinder until the ratio of the volume of purified water in the cylinder to the total volume of the cylinder reaches a preset range; then injecting gas into the cylinder until the pressure inside the cylinder reaches a preset pressure. At least two pressure gauges are used to continuously monitor the pressure inside the cylinder. During gas injection, the inlet of the cylinder is connected to the outlet of a filling pipe via a connector. A first pressure gauge is located in an observation chamber and connected to the pressure test end of the filling pipe, while a second pressure gauge is connected to the inlet of the cylinder via a connector. When the pressure inside the cylinder remains at the preset pressure for a preset duration, the cylinder is depressurized to obtain a depressurized cylinder.

[0004] Although patent document CN119197940A can achieve pressure cycling of gas cylinders from 0 to a certain value, its pressure cycling speed is slow, the pressure waveform is uncontrollable, it cannot form a pressure cycling interval between two pressure values, and it cannot quickly achieve 10,000 pressure fatigue tests on gas cylinders.

[0005] To address this issue, a pulsed pressure cycle control system for gas cylinders was implemented. This system exhibits good pressure waveform consistency and fast pressure response, making the testing device convenient to operate, safe, reliable, advanced in control, highly accurate, and with stable waveforms. Therefore, this invention designs a pulsed high-pressure cycle testing device and method for gas cylinders, solving the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, a test device for pulse-type high-pressure cycling of gas cylinders includes: a hydraulic power unit, a pressure pulse control unit, and a filling and venting device.

[0053] The hydraulic power unit includes an oil tank 1, a temperature sensor 2, an oil pump 4, an oil cooler 5, a manual relief valve 8, and a check valve 9;

[0054] Hydraulic oil is stored in oil tank 1, and temperature sensor 2 is housed inside oil tank 1.

[0055] The oil in tank 1 is pressurized by pump 4 and transported to the rear end;

[0056] Oil pump 4 is equipped with a suction filter 3 and a high-pressure filter 7 at the front and rear ends of the oil circuit to ensure the cleanliness of the oil source output to the pressure pulse control device. The maximum boost pressure of oil pump 4 is not less than 25MPa.

[0057] The pressure pulse control device includes an unloading valve 17, a first pressure sensor 12, a second pressure sensor 13 and a third pressure sensor 16, a pulse generator 15, a gas cylinder 18, a servo valve 14, and a proportional pressure reducing valve 11.

[0058] The pulse generator 15 contains an oil cylinder and a water cylinder, which are connected by a piston.

[0059] Gas cylinder 18 is connected to one end of the water cylinder of pulse generator 15 by a pipeline. The reciprocating motion of the piston between the oil cylinder and the water cylinder in pulse generator 15 controls the pressure of gas cylinder 18. The maximum test pressure of gas cylinder 18 is 35MPa.

[0060] The liquid filling and venting device is connected and water is injected into the water tank of pulse generator 15.

[0061] The liquid filling and venting device includes a water tank 22, a water filter 21, a pneumatic diaphragm pump 20, and a hydraulic pump 19;

[0062] Water tank 22 is equipped with a level transmitter;

[0063] The pneumatic diaphragm pump 20 injects water into the pipeline on one side of the water cylinder of the pulse generator 15, and replenishes water to the gas cylinder 18 during the filling and releasing process;

[0064] Hydraulic pump 19 injects water into gas cylinder 18 to discharge the pipeline and air from gas cylinder 18, and applies basic pressure;

[0065] Water filter 21 is located at the rear end of water tank 22.

[0066] Pulse generator 15 is connected to oil pump 4;

[0067] Servo valve 14 and proportional pressure reducing valve 11 are connected between pulse generator 15 and oil pump 4, and control the output oil pressure. The water pressure and oil pressure of pulse generator 15 are proportional to each other, realizing pressure control of gas cylinder 18, and the pressure is accurate and the waveform feedback signal is good.

[0068] The upper and lower limits and frequency changes of the circulating pressure of the hydraulic cylinder and servo valve 14 drive the circulating pressure and frequency of the gas cylinder 18 to achieve multiple pressure cycles per minute.

[0069] The third pressure sensor 16 is connected between the gas cylinder 18 and the pulse generator 15, displays the pressure value inside the gas cylinder 18, and feeds back the pressure signal;

[0070] The unloading valve 17 is connected between the gas cylinder 18 and the pulse generator 15, and can depressurize the gas cylinder 18.

[0072] When the proportional pressure reducing valve 11 is in a high-pressure state, the proportional pressure reducing valve 11 adjusts the pressure of the input servo valve 14 according to the input signal pressure value.

[0073] When the proportional pressure reducing valve 11 is in an overpressure state, the proportional pressure reducing valve 11 controls the manual relief valve 8 to perform backflow pressure reduction.

[0074] The pulse generator 15 pressure cycle is a closed-loop circulation circuit with a constant base pressure superimposed with a regularly changing alternating pressure source. The lower limit pressure of the alternating pressure source is the same as the base pressure of the circulation system. The power source for the alternating pressure is provided by a constant pressure hydraulic station. The driving end pressure of the pulse generator 15 is controlled by the proportional pressure reducing valve 11. The servo valve 14 receives electrical analog signals and outputs modulated flow and pressure accordingly to drive the cyclic loading of the pulse generator 15. The pulse generator reversing valve controls the repeated cyclic loading of the pulse generator 15. The servo valve 14 receives high-pressure oil from the front end and controls the pulse generator 15 according to the electrical control signal, so that the pulse generator 15 runs at high frequency according to the set value and outputs various test waveforms, including sine, trapezoidal, and linear waves.

[0075] The front end of the one-way valve 9 is connected to the high-pressure filter 7, and the rear end extends to connect to the proportional pressure reducing valve 11, and is unidirectionally connected from the front end to the rear.

[0076] Oil cooler 5 is an air-cooled structure;

[0077] The manual relief valve 8 is connected between the check valve 9 and the high-pressure filter 7. The high-pressure oil is returned and depressurized by the manual relief valve 8, filtered by the return oil filter 6, cooled by the oil cooler 5, and then flows back to the oil tank 1.

[0078] After being pressurized, the oil in the servo valve 14 and pulse generator 15 is filtered by the return oil filter 6 and then flows back to the oil cooler 5 for cooling before flowing back to the oil tank 1.

[0079] An accumulator 10 is installed between the oil pump 4 and the proportional pressure reducing valve 11. The accumulator 10 is a bladder-type energy absorber that can absorb the volume expansion of the medium generated during oil circulation. The accumulator 10 can withstand a pressure intensity of not less than 1.5 times the test pressure.

[0080] The device of this invention adopts a servo valve closed-loop control method and utilizes a pulse generator to perform high-frequency reciprocating operation to achieve oil pressure control, water pressure control, and frequency control. It enables the gas cylinder to undergo tens of thousands of continuous fatigue tests. The device is easy to operate, safe and reliable, and effectively verifies the influence of pressure changes on the performance of composite material gas cylinders.

[0081] This embodiment also provides a test method for pulsed high-pressure cycling of gas cylinders, used for testing pulsed high-pressure cycling of gas cylinders, the steps of which include:

[0082] Step S1: The hydraulic pump 19 pressurizes the pipeline and the gas cylinder 18.

[0083] Step S2: The hydraulic power unit pressurizes the pulse generator 15 through the oil pump 4.

[0084] Step S3: Servo valve 14 and proportional pressure reducing valve 11 control the oil pressure of pulse generator 15, and pressurize or depressurize the gas cylinder 18 according to the ratio of oil pressure and hydraulic pressure of pulse generator 15.

[0085] Step S4: The oil is cooled by the oil cooler 5 and returned to the oil tank 1, forming a closed loop in the oil circuit.

[0086] Specifically: The test medium is pressurized and delivered from the water tank 22 to the pulse generator 15 via the pneumatic diaphragm pump 20 and the hydraulic pump 19. Before the test, the hydraulic pump 19 needs to pressurize the gas cylinder 18 separately to a certain pressure. After reaching a certain pressure, the oil pressure continues to pressurize the test medium in stages through the servo valve 14. The pressurization frequency and test pressure are controlled by the electrical signal of the servo valve 14 to form a pulse pressurization of the gas cylinder 18, realizing the pulse pressure range circulation of the gas cylinder 18. The pulse generator 15 controlled by the servo valve 14 needs to cool the oil. An oil circuit is formed through pipelines and a manual overflow valve 8. After being cooled by the oil cooler 5, the oil returns to normal temperature. An oil suction filter 3 and a high-pressure filter 7 are installed at the inlet end of the oil circuit, and a return oil filter 6 is installed in the return oil pipeline to ensure the cleanliness of the oil.

[0087] Preferably, the suction filter 3 and the high-pressure filter 7 can filter impurities in the oil in the oil tank 1, avoiding the impact of impurities on the accuracy of the proportional pressure reducing valve 11 and the servo valve 14.

[0088] Preferably, the pulse generator 15 and the servo valve 14 form a linkage control system, and the boosting frequency is controlled by the electrical signal of the servo valve 14.

[0089] Preferably, the pulse generator 15 is divided into an oil cylinder and a water cylinder. The oil and water are squeezed in a certain pressure ratio relationship, and the low pressure input of the oil cylinder controls the high pressure output of the water cylinder.

[0090] Preferably, in the pressure control of the proportional pressure reducing valve 11, the output overpressure oil is controlled by the manual relief valve 8. When the pressure drops, the manual relief valve 8 discharges the excess oil, thereby reducing the internal circulation pressure of the gas cylinder 18.

[0091] Preferably, under the joint control of the pulse generator 15 and the servo valve 14, the pulse pressure wave can form multiple sine waves with stable waveforms and small errors.

[0092] Preferably, the hydraulic pump 19 is an air-driven pump. Before the oil pressure is increased, the gas cylinder 18 needs to be vented and the medium pre-pressurized by the hydraulic pump 19.

[0093] This invention realizes a pulsed pressure cycle for gas cylinders.
