Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of valve pressure testing technology, specifically a pressure testing fixture and method for a gate valve. Background Technology
[0002] Gate valves are forced-seal straight-stroke valves, mainly used for regulating and shutting off the flow of media in pipeline systems. They are a widely used type of valve in industrial production, building water supply and drainage, and other fields. In order to verify the deformation and rupture resistance of their shell structure under rated and ultimate pressure conditions, and to avoid safety accidents and economic losses caused by shell failure, it is necessary to conduct strength tests on gate valves.
[0003] The existing gate valve pressure testing fixtures do not collect complete experimental data during the testing process. They cannot be adapted to gate valves of different shapes and cannot complete accurate strength tests under the fit condition. This results in some areas of the valve body bearing excessive pressure while other areas do not bear effective pressure, thus causing the test data to be distorted. This not only fails to provide a reliable basis for product quality judgment, but also makes it difficult to ensure the safety of the gate valve under test in subsequent use. Ultimately, it expands the testing limitations of the fixtures and reduces their effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The application further provides a use method of the test pressure tool of the stop valve, and the method comprises the following steps:
[0041] S1, the stop valve is placed on the semi-ring base, the flanges at both ends of the stop valve are embedded into the semi-ring groove, and the clamping and braking device is operated to clamp and fix the stop valve;
[0042] S2, the pressure measuring assembly is started, the pressure block is driven to move towards the stop valve body, and the pressure block is tightly attached to the outer surface of the valve body until the pressure block is tightly attached to the outer surface of the valve body;
[0043] S3, after the pressure block is attached to the valve body, the pressure block continuously applies pressure to the valve body through the pressure measuring assembly until the pressure reaches a preset value, whether the surface of the stop valve is cracked, deformed or damaged is observed and recorded, and the strength test of the stop valve is completed.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:
[0045] (1) The limiting block resets the movement, passes through the guide slider, and is connected with one of the limiting slots, so as to limit the installation of the limiting cylinder, thereby completing the installation of the pressure block; since the number of limiting slots is several, the pressure block can be installed at different heights for operation, reducing the limitation of tool use; at the same time, after the installation of the pressure block is completed, the positioning spring in the buffer state cannot be reset, and the elastic force acts on the limiting cylinder, thereby increasing the contact friction and strength of the limiting slot and the limiting block, avoiding dislocation of the pressure block due to non-human factors during use, improving the use effect of the tool; the tool can be conveniently and quickly installed and removed without the aid of any tool, facilitating the replacement of pressure blocks of different shapes, avoiding the operation from being unable to proceed smoothly due to the lack of tools during the replacement process, reducing the limitation of tool use, so that the tool can adapt to different shapes of stop valves for testing, so that the pressure block is in close contact with the outer surface of the valve body of the stop valve, avoiding missing test data, ensuring accurate strength testing under the condition that the pressure block is in close contact with the valve body, avoiding distortion of test data caused by excessive pressure or no pressure on the local area of the valve body during testing, thereby providing a reliable basis for product quality determination, while ensuring the safety of the subsequent use of the stop valve, finally reducing the testing limitation of the tool, improving the use and testing effect;
[0046] (2) The two brake clamps move relative to each other, thereby contacting the two sides of the two flange plates, thereby clamping the stop valve, avoiding shaking or dislocation during testing, which affects the test results, improving the testing effect of the tool on the stop valve and the accuracy of the test results; before the brake clamp contacts the flange plate, the brake column on the brake clamp enters the medium flow hole of the flange plate first, thereby positioning the stop valve to be clamped and fixed, so as to prevent the test position from changing due to the deviation of the position during clamping, further avoiding dislocation of the stop valve during clamping due to non-human factors, thereby improving the testing accuracy of the tool on the stop valve; it is worth mentioning that when the brake clamp contacts the flange plate, the brake block on the brake clamp moves in the brake cylinder of the brake clamp, so that the brake spring is in a buffer state, further increasing the contact force and friction between the brake clamp and the flange plate, thereby further improving the clamping effect of the stop valve and improving the testing effect; at the same time, when the brake clamp stops moving, the brake block continues to move, so that the brake rod on the brake block enters the screw hole on the flange plate, thereby limiting the angle position of the flange plate, avoiding angle changes caused by excessive pressure on the valve body or other non-human factors during testing, so that the valve body can always be at the moving position of the pressure block for testing, thereby reducing the limitation of tool use and improving the use effect;
[0047] (3) The directional sliding plate moves close to the bottom of the test bench, and under the action of the directional cylinder and the directional spring, the energy-absorbing limiting plate is driven to move upwards, the directional spring is in a buffering state, the energy-absorbing slide column on the energy-absorbing limiting plate is limited to move on the third base, the energy-absorbing spring is in a buffering state, thereby driving the pressure bearing square plate to move upwards and contact the bottom of the stop valve to support the stop valve while cooperating with the downward moving pressure block to synchronously apply pressure to the upper and lower sides of the stop valve, thereby reducing the test time of unilateral pressure application, improving the test efficiency of the tooling, avoiding the existence of dead angles in the pressure application area to cause some areas of the valve body not to be applied with pressure, thereby improving the test effect of the stop valve, ensuring the accuracy of the tooling during testing, and further improving the use effect of the tooling; it is worth mentioning that the buffering force brought by the energy-absorbing spring and the directional spring, when the valve body under pressure cannot withstand the pressure brought by the test and is broken or damaged, the force of the pressure block acting on the valve body is suddenly applied to the pressure bearing square plate, and the force generated when the valve body is damaged is also applied to the pressure bearing square plate, at this time, the above-mentioned buffering force can reduce the impact force caused by the damage of the valve body of the stop valve, improve the service life of the tooling, and improve the use effect, thereby avoiding damage during the test process of the tooling;
[0048] (4) The pressure block installed on the two guide sliding blocks moves close to the valve body on the fixed stop valve, the pressure block contacts the valve body of the stop valve, and the pressure block is continuously operated by the telescopic cylinder to apply pressure to the valve body, thereby completing the strength test of the stop valve, and after the pressure value of the valve body is increased to the required value for the test, whether the valve body is broken or cracked can be determined by observing the valve body, thereby completing the pressure test operation of the stop valve; it is worth mentioning that the shape of the pressure block for the pressure test operation of the valve body of the stop valve is matched with the outer surface of the valve body, so that the outer surface of the valve body of the stop valve can be tested in a precise and strong manner in a state of close contact with the pressure block, thereby avoiding excessive pressure on the local area of the valve body or the lack of effective pressure, so that the test data cannot be distorted, ensuring the product quality, and reliably guaranteeing the quality determination basis, thereby further improving the safety of the stop valve, reducing the test limitations of the tooling, and improving the use effect of the tooling.
