Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of testing equipment, and more specifically, to a valve sealing performance testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Valve sealing test is a key testing step to verify that a valve can prevent media leakage under specified pressure and temperature conditions. Its core purpose is to ensure the media isolation effect when the valve is closed and to identify sealing defects in the manufacturing process.

[0003] In valve sealing tests, water-based testing devices are commonly used: the valve to be tested is connected to the test pipeline, clean water is injected into the pipeline and a specified pressure is applied, and the sealing performance is verified by observing whether there is leakage or seepage. However, there is a significant efficiency bottleneck in the actual testing process: since the test pipelines are mostly horizontally arranged, after each test, the water in the pipeline must be completely drained before the tested valve can be disassembled and a new valve to be tested can be installed. This results in frequent repetition of water injection and drainage operations throughout the testing process, and these two procedures are time-consuming, directly reducing the overall testing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a valve sealing performance testing device. This device uses a rotating frame to drive the rotating connecting pipe and the rotating water supply pipe to tilt synchronously, optimizing the drainage process after testing and the water replenishment process for the next test. After testing, the return box is rotated below the rotating water supply pipe. Utilizing the pipe's tilt angle, the water accumulated in the pipe quickly flows back into the return box. At this time, the port of the rotating connecting pipe is in a high position, preventing water overflow when disassembling the valve, and most of the water remains inside the pipe. After replacing the valve, simply use the rotating frame to reset the rotating connecting pipe and the rotating water supply pipe to a horizontal state, and simultaneously rotate the return box above the rotating water supply pipe, allowing the water in the box to quickly flow back into the pipe. This design significantly reduces the time spent on repeated water filling and thorough drainage, significantly improving the overall efficiency of valve sealing performance testing.

[0005] A valve sealing performance testing device according to an embodiment of this application includes: a base frame and a testing assembly. The testing assembly includes a rotating frame, a rotating connecting pipe, a rotating water supply pipe, a reflux chamber, a pressure piston, and a pressure sensor.

[0014] According to this application, a sealing connector is provided on one side of the first pipe body, and a connecting groove is provided on one side of the second pipe body, wherein the sealing connector is rotatably connected inside the connecting groove.

[0015] According to this application, the pressurizing piston includes a second telescopic member and a piston plate. A limit rod is provided on one side of the piston plate. The end of the second telescopic member is fixedly connected to the outside of one side of the second tube body. The output end of the second telescopic member is fixedly connected to one side of the piston plate. The piston plate is slidably connected to the inside of the second tube body.

[0016] In valve sealing testing, the alignment and bolt tightening processes during valve installation are poorly mechanized, resulting in high labor intensity, low operational efficiency, and consequently reduced overall testing efficiency.

[0017] According to this application, a fixing component is also included, comprising a drive component, a turning sleeve, a lifting telescopic frame, a rotating threaded rod, a limiting frame, a first linear slide rail, a double lifting frame, an adjusting frame, and a gripper. One side of the drive component is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting telescopic frame, and the rotating end of the drive component is throttlely connected to the turning sleeve. A magnetic block is provided inside the turning sleeve, and the nut is made of magnetic metal. The turning sleeve is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the lifting telescopic frame, and the turning sleeve is matched with the nut. The rotating threaded rod is rotatably connected to one side of the limiting frame, and the threaded end of the rotating threaded rod is matched with the nut. The nut is slidably fitted with the limiting frame. The lifting end of the lifting telescopic frame is slidably connected to one side of the rotating end of the rotating frame.

[0018] In use, the sliding end of the first linear guide rail drives the double lifting frame to move horizontally. The lifting ends of the double lifting frames synchronously adjust the height and position of the adjusting frame. The adjusting frame drives the two grippers to complete the movement, lifting, and rotation actions, achieving precise gripping of the valve. Subsequently, the grippers drive the valve to complete the integrated operation of lifting, horizontal movement, and rotation, precisely aligning one side of the valve with the rotating connecting pipe, and fitting the corresponding valve interface onto the outside of the preset bolt. At this time, the lifting and telescopic ends of the lifting and telescopic frame work together to drive the rotating sleeve to move, so that it is fitted onto the outside of the nut on one side of the rotating threaded rod. The rotating threaded rod is started. Since the nut cannot rotate due to the constraint of the limiting frame, it is guided by the rotational driving force of the threaded rod. The sleeve is tightened internally to complete disassembly. Once a single nut is stored in the tightening sleeve, the lifting and telescopic frame works together again to move the nut to the outside of the bolt at the valve connection and insert it. The drive unit drives the tightening sleeve to rotate, achieving threaded fastening between the nut and the bolt. By installing multiple nuts one by one in this process, the valve can be firmly fixed to one end of the rotating connecting pipe. After the inspection is completed, the drive unit reverses to drive the tightening sleeve to disassemble the nuts one by one and move them to one end of the rotating threaded rod. The nuts are stored for reuse by rotating the threaded rod. The entire process of valve gripping, alignment, nut disassembly and assembly and storage is fully mechanized, completely replacing manual operation and greatly improving the automation level and overall efficiency of the inspection process.

[0019] According to this application, the driving component includes a blower, an air pump, and a drive shaft. The air pump is fixedly connected to the upper part of the rotating frame, the blower is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting telescopic frame, the drive shaft and the turning sleeve are both rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the lifting telescopic frame, the output end of the air pump is connected to the blower, the output end of the blower is drivenly connected to the drive shaft, and the drive shaft is drivenly connected to the turning sleeve.

One end of the third frame and one end of the third telescopic component are both fixedly connected to one side of the first slider. The second frame is slidably connected to the interior of the third frame. The output end of the third telescopic component is fixedly connected to the second frame. A fourth motor is provided on one side of the rotating threaded rod, and the fourth motor is fixedly connected to the rotating frame. The output end of the fourth motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating threaded rod.

[0021] According to this application, the first linear slide rail includes a fifth motor, a second lead screw, and a second slider. The fifth motor is fixedly connected to the base frame, the output end of the fifth motor is fixedly connected to one end of the second lead screw, the second lead screw is rotatably connected to the base frame, the second slider is slidably connected to the base frame, and the second lead screw is threadedly connected to the second slider.

The bottoms of the fifth frame and the fourth telescopic member are fixedly connected to the upper part of the second slider. The fourth frame is slidably connected to the interior of the fifth frame.

[0023] According to this application, the adjusting frame includes a sixth motor, a tenth frame, a seventh motor, and an eleventh frame. The gripper's gripping end is provided with a gripping sleeve.

[0024] After the sealing test of liquid medium valves, liquid is easily left inside the valve. If the valve is directly packaged, stored and transported, the residual liquid will not only cause rust inside the valve, but also easily attract dust and form dirt, affecting the subsequent performance and appearance quality of the valve. The existing testing process lacks a targeted solution for handling residual liquid, and there is a clear need for improvement.

[0025] According to this application, it also includes a loading and unloading assembly, which includes a second linear slide rail, a third linear slide rail, a positioning ring, an elastic frame, a micro switch, a blower, and a spray curing agent component. The second linear slide rail and the third linear slide rail are both slidably connected to the base frame. The positioning ring is fixedly connected to the sliding end of the third linear slide rail. The elastic end of the elastic frame is slidably connected to the inner side of the positioning ring. The micro switch is fixedly connected inside the positioning ring. One bottom side of the elastic frame is located above the micro switch and can touch the upper part of the micro switch. The output end of the blower is located inside the positioning ring. The spray curing agent component has two output ends, one of which is located inside the positioning ring, and the other is located above the positioning ring.

[0026] After the valve is disassembled from the rotary connecting pipe, the sliding end of the first linear slide rail is linked to the double lifting frame and the adjusting frame. The gripper picks up the valve and precisely flips it so that the liquid inlet side of the valve, which was originally connected to the rotary connecting pipe, faces downwards and is embedded inside the positioning ring. Under the action of gravity, the valve presses down on the elastic end of the elastic frame, triggering the bottom micro switch, which starts the blower. After drawing in external air and heating it, the blower delivers hot air to the inside of the positioning ring and blows it into the valve to achieve rapid air drying. At the same time, the upper structure of the spray curing agent component is inserted into the top of the valve. On the one hand, it plays a supporting and positioning role to prevent the valve from tipping over. On the other hand, its built-in nozzle extends into the upper part of the valve's inner side and sprays the curing agent into the air-dried valve interior simultaneously. During the entire unloading process, the air drying of residual liquid and internal curing treatment are completed simultaneously, effectively avoiding the valve from rusting and dust accumulation due to residual liquid, and ensuring the valve's subsequent performance and appearance quality.

[0027] According to this application, a spring is provided at the bottom of the elastic frame, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the elastic frame, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning ring.

[0028] According to this application, the blower includes a fan and a hot air box. An electric heating tube is provided inside the hot air box, and a temperature controller electrically connected to the electric heating tube is provided outside the hot air box. The fan and the hot air box are both fixedly connected to an eighth slider. The fan is connected to the hot air box, and the output end of the hot air box extends to the inside of the positioning ring.

[0029] According to this application, the spraying curing agent component includes a liquid supply pump, a nozzle, a ninth motor, a ninth lead screw, a ninth slider, a transverse telescopic frame, and a sleeve. The output end of the liquid supply pump is connected to the nozzle. There are two nozzles: one nozzle is located inside the positioning ring, and the other nozzle is fixedly connected inside the sleeve. The sleeve is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the transverse telescopic frame. One side of the transverse telescopic frame is fixedly connected to the ninth slider. The ninth slider is slidably connected to the upper part of an eighth slider. The output end of the ninth motor is fixedly connected to one end of the ninth lead screw, and the ninth lead screw is threadedly connected to the ninth slider.

[0030] According to an embodiment of this application, a valve sealing performance testing device has the following advantages: In use, firstly, one side of the valve to be tested is connected to the rotating connecting pipe. Utilizing the rotatable function of the rotating connecting pipe, the connection between the valve's periphery and the pipeline is quickly tightened, significantly simplifying the valve installation and disassembly process. Subsequently, the rotating end of the rotating frame is used for adjustment. If in the test preparation stage, the rotating connecting pipe and the rotating water supply pipe need to be rotated to a horizontal position, or the rotating water supply pipe should be slightly higher than the rotating connecting pipe to form an inclined angle. At this time, the return box rotates synchronously above the rotating water supply pipe, and the water remaining in the box quickly flows back into the pipeline to complete the water replenishment. Then, the pressure piston is activated, and its pressure end pressurizes the rotating water supply pipe. Pressure is applied internally, and the water pressure data in the rotating connecting pipe is monitored in real time by a pressure sensor. At the same time, it is observed whether there is any leakage or seepage on the other side of the valve to complete the sealing test. After the test, the rotating end of the rotating frame moves again, so that the overall position of the rotating water supply pipe is lower than that of the rotating connecting pipe, forming a reverse tilt. The return box rotates synchronously with the rotating water supply pipe to its lower position. The water in the pipe flows back to the return box quickly under the action of gravity. At this time, the inside of the rotating connecting pipe near the valve is empty, and the valve can be directly disassembled. The entire operation process realizes the recycling and rapid replenishment of water, greatly shortens the time for water injection and drainage, and significantly improves the efficiency of valve sealing test.

Detailed Implementation

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] A valve sealing performance testing device according to an embodiment of this application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] like Figures 1-13 As shown, a valve sealing performance testing device according to an embodiment of this application includes a base frame 100 and a testing component 200.

[0049] The test assembly 200 includes a rotating frame 210, a rotating connecting pipe 220, a rotating water supply pipe 230, a return box 240, a pressurizing piston 250, and a pressure sensor 260. One end of the rotating connecting pipe 220 is equipped with bolts 221 and nuts 222, with multiple bolts 221 and nuts 222. Bolts 221 are fixedly connected to the rotating connecting pipe 220, and nuts 222 are threadedly connected to bolts 221. The bottom of the rotating frame 210 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the base frame 100, the middle part of the rotating connecting pipe 220 is rotatably connected to the rotating end of the rotating frame 210, and one side of the rotating connecting pipe 220 is connected to one side of the rotating water supply pipe 230. The valve is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating connecting pipe 220 by bolts 221 and nuts 222. The middle part of the rotating water supply pipe 230 is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating end of the rotating frame 210. The return box 240 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating water supply pipe 230 and communicates with one side of the rotating water supply pipe 230. One side of the pressure piston 250 is slidably connected to the other side of the rotating water supply pipe 230 and the other side of the pressure piston 250 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating water supply pipe 230. The pressure sensor 260 is fixedly connected to the rotating connecting pipe 220 and the detection end of the pressure sensor 260 is inserted inside the rotating connecting pipe 220.

[0050] The working process of a valve sealing performance testing device according to a specific embodiment of this application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings;

[0051] First, valve installation and testing preparation: the first motor 223 drives the first gear 225 to mesh with the first gear ring 226, which drives the first pipe body 224 to rotate. Align one side of the valve to be tested with the flange 227, and fit the valve interface onto the outside of multiple bolts 221. The valve is fastened by the threaded connection of the bolts 221 and nuts 222. The first telescopic component 211 is activated to push the first frame 212 to rotate around the base frame 100. Adjust the rotating connecting pipe 220 and the rotating water supply pipe 230 to a horizontal state, or make the rotating water supply pipe 230 slightly higher than the rotating connecting pipe 220. Control the second solenoid valve 238 and the third solenoid valve 242 to open. The water remaining in the return box 240 flows back to the inside of the second pipe body 232 through the connecting pipe 237 to complete the water replenishment before testing. At the same time, close the relevant solenoid valves to keep the pipeline sealed.

[0052] Secondly, a pressure test for sealing is performed. The second telescopic component 251 is activated to push the piston plate 252 to slide inside the second pipe body 232, applying pressure to the pipe. The fit between the sealing connector 229 and the connecting groove 239 ensures a seal at the rotating connection. The pressure sensor 260 monitors the water pressure data inside the first pipe body 224 in real time and simultaneously observes whether there is leakage or seepage at the unconnected end of the valve. If auxiliary venting is required, the first solenoid valve 236 can be opened to discharge residual air in the pipe through the first air inlet pipe 235 to ensure the accuracy of the test. After pressurization, the pressure is kept stable to complete the sealing verification.

[0053] Then, after drainage reset and valve disassembly, and after the test is completed, the first telescopic component 211 is controlled to move in the opposite direction, so that the first frame 212 drives the rotating water supply pipe 230 to tilt downwards, and the return box 240 rotates synchronously with the rotating water supply pipe 230 to its lower position; the second solenoid valve 238 is opened, and the water accumulated in the pipe flows back quickly to the return box 240 for storage under the action of gravity through the connecting pipe 237. At this time, the side of the first pipe 224 near the valve is in an empty state. The nut 222 on the bolt 221 is removed, the tested valve is removed, and the water remaining in the return box 240 can be used for the next test water replenishment, realizing recycling and improving the test efficiency.

[0054] As a result, the entire operation process realizes the recycling and rapid replenishment of water, greatly shortens the time spent on water injection and drainage, and significantly improves the efficiency of valve sealing test.

[0055] In addition, a valve sealing performance testing device according to an embodiment of this application also has the following additional technical features:

[0056] According to this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rotating frame 210 includes a first telescopic member 211 and a first frame 212. The end of the first telescopic member 211 is rotatably connected to the base frame 100, the output end of the first telescopic member 211 is rotatably connected to one side of the first frame 212, and the bottom of the first frame 212 is rotatably connected to the base frame 100.

[0073] After the sealing test of liquid medium valves, liquid is easily left inside the valve. If the valve is directly packaged, stored and transported, the residual liquid will not only cause rust inside the valve, but also easily attract dust and form dirt, affecting the subsequent performance and appearance quality of the valve. The existing testing process lacks a targeted solution for handling residual liquid, and there is a clear need for improvement.

[0074] According to this application, such as Figures 10-13As shown, it also includes a loading / unloading assembly 400, which includes a second linear slide rail 410, a third linear slide rail 420, a positioning ring 430, an elastic frame 440, a micro switch 450, a blower component 460, and a spray curing agent component 470.

The spray curing agent component 470 has two output ends, one of which is located inside the positioning ring 430, and the other is located above the positioning ring 430.

[0075] After the valve and rotating connecting pipe 220 are disassembled, the loading and unloading assembly 400 starts working. First, the second linear slide rail 410 and the third linear slide rail 420 drive the eighth lead screw 412 to rotate through their respective eighth motors 411, which drives the eighth slider 413 to slide along the base frame 100, realizing the position adjustment of the positioning ring 430 and related components. When the external structure grabs the valve and flips it so that the liquid inlet side is facing down, the valve is embedded inside the positioning ring 430. Under the action of gravity, the elastic end of the elastic frame 440 is pressed down. The bottom of the elastic frame 440 is elastically connected to the inside of the positioning ring 430 through the spring 441. One bottom side of the elastic frame 440 touches and triggers the micro switch 450 inside the positioning ring 430. After the micro switch 450 is activated, it causes the blower 460 to run. The blower 461 sends air into the hot air box 462 with built-in electric heating tube. After the temperature is regulated by the thermostat, the hot air is delivered from the output end of the hot air box 462 to the inside of the positioning ring 430 to quickly dry the inside of the valve. On the other hand, the spray curing agent component 470 is started, and the liquid supply pump 471 delivers the curing agent to two nozzles 472. One nozzle 472 sprays directly into the valve inside the positioning ring 430. At the same time, the ninth motor 473 drives the ninth lead screw 474 to move the ninth slider 475. With the help of the transverse telescopic frame 476, the insert 477 and the other nozzle 472 inside are pushed into the top of the valve. This not only supports and positions the valve, but also sprays the curing agent onto the upper inside of the valve. Finally, the drying and curing treatment is completed in the valve unloading process.
