[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-5 A smart detection device for the opening threshold of a kettle lid pressure relief valve and a vacuum valve includes a frame, multiple test mounting holes, a human-machine interface, and a testing system.

It can also perform synchronous detection on kettle lids on multiple test mounting holes.

[0028] The rack also includes multiple indicator lights, with one indicator light corresponding to each test mounting hole; when the test is passed, the corresponding indicator light displays green; when the test fails, the corresponding indicator light displays red.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 6 In this invention, the testing system includes a pressure sensor, a flow sensor, a pneumatic control module, and a data processing module. The pressure sensor and flow sensor are respectively connected to the test mounting hole and are used to collect pressure data and flow data within the test chamber. The pneumatic control module is used to control the positive / negative pressure supply within the test chamber. The data processing module is electrically connected to the pressure sensor, flow sensor, and pneumatic control module, and can calculate the opening threshold based on the collected pressure data and flow data.

[0031] The gas path control module includes a positive pressure gas path, a negative pressure gas path, and a switching valve; the positive pressure gas path is used to provide a positive pressure test gas source, and the negative pressure gas path is used to provide a negative pressure test gas source; the switching valve is connected to the positive pressure gas path, the negative pressure gas path, and the test mounting hole respectively, and can switch the connection state between the positive pressure gas path or the negative pressure gas path and the test mounting hole.

[0032] It can be understood that the number of pressure sensors and flow sensors is consistent with the number of test mounting holes. Each test mounting hole is equipped with at least one pressure sensor and one flow sensor. The human-machine interface can display the valve opening pressure and vacuum pressure corresponding to each test mounting hole, receive test parameter setting instructions input by the user, and display alarm information when the test exceeds the tolerance.

[0033] Furthermore, the testing system also includes a data storage module, which is electrically connected to the data processing module and can store test data corresponding to each test mounting hole, including valve opening pressure, test time, and judgment result; the gas path control module also includes a gas storage tank and multiple regulating valves, including regulating valve 1 for regulating the maximum vacuum degree of the vacuum valve, regulating valve 2 for regulating the vacuum flow rate, and regulating valve 3 for regulating the gas flow rate during positive pressure measurement; the gas storage tank is connected to the positive pressure gas path, the negative pressure gas path, and the regulating valves respectively.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 7 It also includes an electrical system, which includes a 24V power supply and a USB-485 module; the 24V power supply powers the pressure sensor, flow sensor, and data processing module; the pressure sensor and flow sensor communicate with the data processing module through the USB-485 module; the data processing module can automatically determine whether the tested opening threshold is qualified according to a preset threshold range; when the opening threshold exceeds the preset range, it controls the human-machine interface and / or indicator lights to issue an alarm signal.

[0035] The operating procedure of the intelligent detection device for the opening threshold of the pressure relief valve and vacuum valve of the kettle lid is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the first step is to design the action: by measuring the negative pressure first and then the positive pressure, the test cycle can be automatically started without having to press the start button again; Press the start button at the workstation during the first test. When the test ends, replace the test piece within the set time to automatically start a new test cycle. When the system loses power, the switching valve is designed to be in the negative pressure test position, and the shut-off valve can cut off the air supply to the vacuum valve when the power is off, so as to achieve no leakage of air pressure in the system when there is an unexpected power failure. In addition, it also has low power consumption in standby mode, minimizes the heating of the solenoid valve, and extends the service life of the solenoid valve. In addition, the software uses a database to store test data, which can record test data for each workstation, and can be queried and saved as a data table for analysis.

[0036] Based on measured data (such as) Figure 9-10 As can be seen, the pressure value corresponding to the inflection point of the curve at a flow rate of 0.5 liters / minute is the valve opening pressure value.

[0037] In actual production, precise control of regulating valves 2 and 3 is sufficient. Each valve is individually adjusted to ensure consistent values. It can be upgraded to an automatic valve for dynamic flow adjustment in the future.

[0038] In addition, indicator lights were added to show the test status during production. For each workstation, green indicates a pass and red indicates a fail.

[0039] The host computer displays the test results synchronously: green for qualified and red for unqualified.

[0040] When using this device, first install the lid to be tested onto the test mounting hole. After pressing the test start switch, the device automatically begins testing: the switching valve in the gas path control module switches the connection status between the positive or negative pressure gas path and the test mounting hole according to the test requirements. The positive or negative pressure gas path provides a stable test gas source through the gas tank and regulating valves. Regulating valve 1 adjusts the maximum vacuum level of the vacuum valve, regulating valve 2 adjusts the vacuum flow rate, and regulating valve 3 adjusts the gas flow rate during positive pressure measurement. Pressure and flow sensors collect pressure and flow data in the test chamber in real time and transmit the data to the data processing module via a USB-485 module. A 24V power supply provides stable power to all components. Based on the collected data and the pressure value corresponding to the inflection point of the flow rate of 0.5 liters / minute, the data processing module calculates the opening threshold of the pressure relief valve and the vacuum valve.

[0041] The human-machine interface (HMI) displays real-time data such as valve opening pressure and vacuum pressure for each test mounting hole. The data storage module synchronously stores test data, including valve opening pressure, test time, and judgment results. When the test is qualified, the green indicator light at the corresponding station illuminates; when the test fails, the red indicator light illuminates, and the HMI displays an alarm message indicating that the threshold has exceeded the tolerance.

[0042] In addition, users can input test parameter setting instructions through the human-machine interface, and the data processing module will automatically determine whether the threshold is qualified according to the preset threshold range. The whole process does not require manual intervention, realizing intelligent, efficient and accurate detection.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
