[0001] The application relates to the technical field of valve detection, in particular to a valve rapid leak detection device. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a key component of fluid control systems, the sealing performance of valves directly affects the safety and efficiency of industrial equipment. Traditional valve leak detection methods have significant limitations: First, most rely on static pressure holding tests, which can only detect overall leaks and cannot distinguish between internal leaks (valve seal surface failure) and external leaks (valve body / connection leaks), making it difficult to capture leaks during the opening and closing of the valve; second, manual fixing of the valve, adjustment of the plugging device, and recording of pressure data are required, which is inefficient and prone to human error; third, static and dynamic leak data are separated, making it difficult to accurately locate the source of the leak, resulting in insufficient repair targeting.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5The present invention provides a valve rapid leak detection device, including a control box 1, a switch operation module 2, a support module 3, a sealing execution module 4, and a dynamic detection module.
[0025] The control unit 11 and the gas supply module are integrated on the control box 1. The control unit 11 plays a key role in coordinating the timing actions and data processing of each module. It can issue instructions to the switch operation module 2, the sealing execution module 4, the dynamic detection module, etc. according to the preset program to ensure the orderly connection of each link. At the same time, it processes the pressure data transmitted by the dynamic detection module to determine whether the valve is leaking (for example, when the pressure drops more than the preset threshold within the set pressure holding time, it is determined that there is a leak). It can also accurately determine whether the valve is internally or externally leaking by comparing the data of the static detection mode and the dynamic detection mode. Internal leakage refers to the leakage of gas through the valve switch when the valve is closed, and external leakage refers to the leakage of the valve body and the switch. The gas supply module (not shown) provides gas that meets the detection requirements to the sealing execution module 4 through the pipeline as the source of the leak detection medium.
[0026] The switch operation module 2 is responsible for the fixing and rotation control of the valve switch. The rotation drive module 21 provides rotational power to the switch snap-fit module 22, enabling it to drive the snap-fit valve switch to rotate. The switch snap-fit module 22 is adapted to valve switches of different specifications. The snap-fit fixing ensures that the valve switch does not undergo relative displacement during rotation, thus ensuring the accuracy of valve switch status adjustment during the detection process.
[0027] The first V-shaped positioning groove 31 and the second V-shaped positioning groove 32 of the support module 3 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the switch snap-fit module 22. Its V-shaped structure utilizes the principle of inclined plane self-centering to provide preliminary positioning support for the flanges at both ends of the valve, so that the valve remains stable during the testing process, providing a basis for the sealing operation of the subsequent sealing execution module 4.
[0028] The first sealing unit 41 and the second sealing unit 42 of the sealing execution module 4 correspond to the two ends of the valve, respectively. Both can move horizontally along the support module 3 to achieve sealing of both ends of the valve. The three-way gas circuit system 43 inside each sealing unit is the key to gas flow and control. Among them, the gas injection interface 431 is connected to the gas supply module of the control box 1 through the pipeline to receive the detection gas; the pressure output interface 432 is directly connected to the inner cavity of the valve to introduce gas into the valve; and the pressure relief interface 433 is used to discharge residual gas in the cavity.
[0029] The pressure regulating structure 434 inside the three-way gas circuit system 43 can automatically switch the opening and closing state of the pressure relief port 433 in response to the injection pressure. When gas is injected, the pressure relief port 433 closes under pressure to ensure that all gas enters the valve cavity; when gas injection stops, the pressure relief port 433 automatically opens to quickly discharge residual gas.
[0030] The core function of the dynamic detection module is to implement three detection modes and monitor pressure fluctuations: With the valve fully closed, air can be injected through the first sealing unit 41 alone. At this time, the pressure relief port of the second sealing unit 42 remains open, and the sealing performance of one end of the valve is detected by monitoring pressure changes. Similarly, when the valve is fully closed, air can be injected through the second sealing unit 42 alone. At this time, the pressure relief port of the first sealing unit 41 remains open. The sealing performance of one end of the valve can be detected by monitoring pressure changes, and the sealing performance of the other end of the valve can be detected by injecting air through the second sealing unit 42 alone. As the valve switch is gradually rotated by the rotary drive module 21, air is injected simultaneously on both sides to monitor pressure fluctuations in real time in order to detect dynamic leaks.
[0031] The working principle of the device is as follows: After the detection begins, the control unit 11 initiates the overall process. The operator places the valve in the first V-shaped positioning groove 31 and the second V-shaped positioning groove 32. The valve switch engages with the switch engagement module 22. The control unit 11 coordinates with the switch operation module 2 to fix the valve switch and ensures accurate valve positioning through the positioning of the support module 3. Subsequently, the control unit 11 instructs the first blocking unit 41 and the second blocking unit 42 of the blocking execution module 4 to move horizontally along the support module 3 until both ends of the valve are sealed, forming a closed detection chamber.
[0032] When entering static detection mode (valve is closed), control unit 11 controls the gas supply module to supply gas to the gas injection port 431 of the first sealing unit 41 through the pipeline. At this time, the pressure regulating structure 434 of the first sealing unit 41 closes the pressure relief port 433 under the action of injection pressure. Gas enters the valve cavity through the pressure output port 432, and the pressure relief port of the second sealing unit 42 remains open. The dynamic detection module monitors the pressure in real time. If the pressure drops beyond the threshold, leakage is determined. At this time, the leakage at the first end of the valve is detected.
[0033] After the test is completed, the control unit 11 stops supplying air to the first sealing unit 41, and its pressure regulating structure 434 opens the pressure relief port to release the air. Then, it switches to the second sealing unit 42 to inject air for testing. The pressure relief port of the first sealing unit 41 is opened, and the test process is repeated. At this time, the leakage at the second end of the test valve is checked.
[0034] In dynamic detection mode, the control unit 11 instructs the rotation drive module 21 to drive the valve switch to rotate gradually, while coordinating the air supply module to synchronously inject air into the double-sided sealing unit, and the pressure regulating structure 434 closes the pressure relief port 433. The dynamic detection module continuously monitors pressure fluctuations. If an abnormal pressure drop occurs at a certain angle, it is determined that there is a dynamic leak at that location. The control unit 11 records the relevant data and completes the analysis and processing.
[0035] By comparing data from static and dynamic detection modes, it is possible to accurately determine whether a valve is leaking internally or externally. Internal leakage occurs when gas leaks through the valve switch while the valve is closed; external leakage occurs when there is leakage within the valve body or at the switch.
[0036] Specifically, in static detection mode, if the dynamic detection module determines leakage during the gas injection port 431 of the first sealing unit 41, and determines no leakage during the gas injection port 431 of the second sealing unit 42, it means that external leakage occurs at one end of the valve body near the first sealing unit 41, because gas only leaks when injected from the first end, indicating that the leak point is at the valve body or the part where the switch is connected to the valve body at the first end. If the dynamic detection module determines a leak during the gas supply process to the gas injection port 431 of the second sealing unit 42, but determines no leak during the gas supply process to the gas injection port 431 of the first sealing unit 41, it indicates that an external leak has occurred at the end of the valve body near the second sealing unit 42.
[0037] If leakage is detected at both ends of the valve in static detection mode, analysis in conjunction with dynamic detection mode is necessary. If, in dynamic detection mode, the dynamic detection module determines no leakage when the valve is closed, it indicates internal leakage. This is because in static detection, with the valve closed, gas leaks through the switch sealing surface, resulting in leakage detected at both ends, while in dynamic detection, there is no possibility of leakage when the switch is closed. If, in dynamic detection mode, the pressure drop when the valve is closed is consistent with the pressure drop when supplying gas to both ends in static detection, it indicates external leakage, meaning the leak point is in the valve body or at the connection between the switch and the valve body. Furthermore, if, in dynamic detection mode, the pressure fluctuation during gradual valve rotation differs from the pressure drop characteristics in static detection—for example, the fluctuation amplitude is larger and closely related to the switch rotation angle—it indicates external leakage at the switch. This is because the rotation of the switch creates a larger gap or friction at the connection between the switch and the valve body, exacerbating the leakage.
[0038] The control unit 11 performs comprehensive analysis on these static and dynamic detection data, and combines the location, amplitude and related factors of pressure changes to accurately distinguish between internal and external leaks and the specific location of external leaks, providing a precise basis for valve maintenance. Through this data comparison, the device can accurately distinguish between internal and external leaks, greatly improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the detection results and effectively solving the problems existing in traditional valve leak detection.
[0039] In this embodiment, the control unit 11 includes a PLC controller and a human-machine interface. The PLC controller has a preset detection program that can automatically receive pressure data from the dynamic detection module and output control commands to realize the coordinated action of each module. The human-machine interface can intuitively display detection parameters, pressure curves and detection results. Operators can also manually input or modify parameters through it, which greatly improves the convenience of operation and the accuracy of parameter control. The gas supply module consists of a gas source generator, a pressure regulating valve, a filter and a solenoid valve group connected in sequence. The gas source generator provides a stable gas source, the pressure regulating valve can accurately adjust the gas pressure, the filter can effectively remove impurities in the gas, and the solenoid valve group is electrically connected to the control unit 11 and can quickly respond to control commands to switch the gas supply to the gas injection interface 431 of the first sealing unit 41 or the second sealing unit 42. During testing, the operator sets parameters such as testing pressure and holding time through the human-machine interface. The PLC controller starts the air supply module according to the preset program. The gas generated by the gas source generator is regulated to the set pressure by the pressure regulating valve, and then purified by the filter before entering the solenoid valve group. The PLC controller controls the solenoid valve group to switch the air path according to the testing mode and supply air to the corresponding sealing unit. At the same time, the PLC controller receives the pressure data of the dynamic detection module in real time, generates a pressure curve on the human-machine interface and judges the test results. If a leak is found, an alarm is triggered in time.
[0040] In this embodiment, the rotation drive module 21 includes a servo motor 22, a reducer 23, a rotation shaft 24, and an angle sensor 25. The servo motor 22 is electrically connected to the control unit 11, and its output shaft is connected to the input end of the reducer 23 via a coupling. The output end of the reducer 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotation shaft 24, and the other end of the rotation shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the switch latching module 22. The angle sensor 25 is mounted on the rotation shaft 24 and can detect the rotation angle in real time and feed it back to the control unit 11. When performing dynamic detection, the control unit 11 sends a control command to the servo motor 22. The power output by the servo motor 22 is transmitted to the reducer 23 via the coupling. The reducer 23 converts high speed and low torque into low speed and high torque to drive the rotation shaft 24 to rotate. The rotation shaft 24 then drives the switch latching module 22 and the latched valve switch to rotate synchronously. During this process, the angle sensor 25 monitors the rotation angle of the rotation shaft 24 in real time and feeds the data back to the control unit 11 in real time. The control unit 11 accurately controls the operation of the servo motor 22 according to the feedback angle data to ensure that the valve switch rotates within a preset speed and angle range.
[0041] In this embodiment, the switch latching module 22 includes a circular latching base 221 and a pair of latching strips 222 symmetrically slidably mounted on the circular latching base 221. An adjusting screw 223 is provided through the pair of latching strips 222, and a latching groove 224 for latching the valve switch is formed between the pair of latching strips 222. In use, according to the size of the valve switch, the adjusting screw 223 is rotated to drive the pair of latching strips 222 to slide symmetrically on the circular latching base 221, thereby adjusting the width of the latching groove 224 so that the latching groove 224 matches the size of the valve switch. After the valve switch is placed into the latching groove 224, the adjusting screw 223 is rotated in the opposite direction so that the pair of latching strips 222 tightly clamp the valve switch, achieving a stable latching. When the rotation drive module 21 drives the circular latching base 221 to rotate, the valve switch in the latching groove 224 can rotate synchronously and stably with the latching strips 222.
[0042] In this embodiment, both the first V-shaped positioning groove 31 and the second V-shaped positioning groove 32 include a groove body and an anti-slip pad. The groove body has a V-shaped cross-section, and the anti-slip pad is attached to its inner side wall. The anti-slip pad is made of polyurethane and has anti-slip texture on its surface. During testing, the valve is placed in the first V-shaped positioning groove 31 and the second V-shaped positioning groove 32. The V-shaped structure automatically centers and positions itself through the inclined surfaces on both sides, keeping the valve flange and the sealing unit coaxial. The polyurethane anti-slip pad increases the friction with the valve flange by utilizing its own elasticity and the anti-slip texture on its surface, effectively preventing the valve from sliding during testing due to the thrust of the sealing unit or its own weight.
[0043] In this embodiment, both the first sealing unit 41 and the second sealing unit 42 include a positioning seat 411, a cylinder 412 horizontally mounted on the positioning seat 411, and a sealing disc component 413 fixedly connected to the cylinder 412. The sealing disc component 413 includes a metal disc body 4131 and a sealing gasket 4132. The sealing gasket 4132 has an annular structure and is made of fluororubber or nitrile rubber. It is fixed to the side of the metal disc body 4131 facing the valve by bolts, and the inner diameter of the sealing gasket 4132 is smaller than the outer diameter of the valve inlet. During testing, the control unit 11 controls the cylinder 412 to start. The piston rod of the cylinder 412 pushes the sealing disc component 413 to move horizontally toward the valve flange. The positioning seat 411 provides stable support for the cylinder 412 to ensure accurate movement. When the sealing gasket 4132 contacts the valve flange, the cylinder 412 continuously applies pressure, causing the sealing gasket 4132 to deform due to its own elasticity and tightly cover the sealing surface of the valve flange. Since the inner diameter of the sealing gasket 4132 is smaller than the outer diameter of the valve inlet, it can completely cover the valve inlet and prevent gas leakage. At the same time, the air hole in the center of the metal disc 4131 connects the pressure output interface 432 with the valve cavity, ensuring that the test gas can enter smoothly.
[0044] In this embodiment, the pressure regulating structure 434 includes a solenoid valve installed on the pressure relief port 433. The solenoid valve is electrically connected to the control unit 11. When the control unit 11 controls the gas injection port 431 to inject gas, the solenoid valve closes to seal the pressure relief port 433. When the control unit 11 controls the gas injection port 431 to stop injecting gas, the solenoid valve opens to release the seal on the pressure relief port 433. During the detection process, the control unit 11 sends an electrical signal to the solenoid valve according to the detection mode. When gas injection through the gas injection port 431 is required, the control unit 11 issues a closing command. The valve core of the solenoid valve moves under the action of electromagnetic force, tightly sealing the pressure relief port 433, ensuring that all injected gas enters the valve cavity and maintaining the pressure stability required for detection. When the gas injection is completed and needs to be stopped, the control unit 11 issues an opening command. The valve core of the solenoid valve resets under the action of spring force or its own gravity, the pressure relief port 433 is opened, and the residual gas in the valve cavity and gas path is quickly discharged, preparing for subsequent detection.
[0045] In this embodiment, the dynamic detection module includes a pressure sensor, a data acquisition card, and a data processing unit. The pressure sensor is a high-precision diffused silicon pressure sensor, whose detection end is connected to the pressure output interface 432 of the three-way gas circuit system 43. The output end is connected to the data acquisition card via a signal line. The data acquisition card is electrically connected to the data processing unit. The data processing unit can convert pressure data into a pressure fluctuation curve and compare it with a preset threshold to determine whether there is a leak. It can also record the valve opening and closing angle when a leak occurs. During detection, the pressure sensor senses the pressure change of the pressure output interface 432 in the three-way gas circuit system 43 in real time, converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal, and transmits it to the data acquisition card via a signal line. The data acquisition card performs analog-to-digital conversion and preliminary processing on the electrical signal, and then sends the digitized pressure data to the data processing unit. The data processing unit analyzes the received pressure data, generates an intuitive pressure fluctuation curve, and compares the real-time pressure value with a preset leak judgment threshold. When the pressure fluctuation exceeds the threshold, a leak is determined to exist. At this time, combined with the valve opening and closing angle data fed back by the angle sensor 25, the angle position when the leak occurs is accurately recorded.
