[0023] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] It is known that, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pilot-operated safety valve includes a main valve body 201, an inlet flange, and an outlet flange. The axes of the inlet flange and the outlet flange are perpendicular to each other. The inlet flange has a medium inlet, and the outlet flange has a medium outlet. The pilot-operated safety valve is connected to the system pipeline through the inlet flange and the outlet flange, so that the system medium enters through the medium inlet and exits through the medium outlet. Both the medium inlet and the medium outlet are connection ports 203, and both the inlet flange and the outlet flange are connection flanges 202.

[0025] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the pilot-operated safety valve testing device 100 of this embodiment includes a support base 1, a detector assembly 2, a cylinder base 3, and a snap-fit ​​assembly 4. The detector assembly 2 includes a detector 21 and a detection pipe 22. The detector 21 is connected to the detection pipe 22, and the detection pipe 22 has a detection port for connecting to the connection port 203. The cylinder base 3 is connected to the support base 1. The cylinder base 3 has a cylinder cavity 31 and a cylinder opening 32. The detection port is located in the cylinder cavity 31 and faces the cylinder opening 32. The snap-fit ​​assembly 4 includes a plurality of snap-fit ​​members 41. The snap-fit ​​members 41 are located on the outside of the cylinder base 3 and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cylinder base 3. The snap-fit ​​members 41 include a hinge portion 4111 and a snap-fit ​​portion 4121. The hinge portion 4111 is rotatably connected to the cylinder base 3, and the snap-fit ​​portion 4121 is used to snap-fit ​​the connection flange 202 of the pilot-operated safety valve.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the pilot-operated safety valve testing device 100, when testing a pilot-operated safety valve, first places the pilot-operated safety valve in an appropriate position, such that the connecting flange 202 of the pilot-operated safety valve is located between multiple snap-fit ​​parts 41. The multiple snap-fit ​​parts 41 are rotated, causing the snap-fit ​​portion 4121 to move towards the center line of the cylinder seat 3, thereby engaging the pilot-operated safety valve. Simultaneously, the detection port of the detection pipeline 22 is connected to the connection port 203 of the pilot-operated safety valve, thus connecting the testing device 100 to the pilot-operated safety valve. Then, a test medium is introduced into the detection pipeline 22, and the detector 21 detects the real-time pressure value within the detection pipeline 22. This allows for the acquisition of a real-time pressure value change curve, a comparison result between the real-time pressure value and a preset pressure value, etc., thereby determining whether the pilot-operated safety valve's sealing performance, pressure response performance, etc., are qualified.

[0027] The pilot-operated safety valve testing device 100 of this invention can connect and disconnect the pilot-operated safety valve by controlling the rotation of multiple snap-fit ​​parts 41 when performing performance testing on the pilot-operated safety valve. The operation is relatively simple, which can greatly shorten the preparation time before the test and the disassembly time after the test, and the testing efficiency is high.

[0028] Optionally, the test medium can be compressed air, nitrogen, or a fluid that matches the actual operating conditions of the pilot-operated safety valve under test. Those skilled in the art can select the appropriate medium based on the design requirements of the pilot-operated safety valve, which will not be elaborated here.

[0029] Optionally, the detector assembly 2 also includes an alarm device, which includes an audible and visual alarm and a buzzer. Both the audible and visual alarm and the buzzer are integrated into the detector 21. When the detector 21 fails to meet the performance test results of the pilot-operated safety valve, an alarm can be issued through the audible and visual alarm and the buzzer.

[0030] In some embodiments, the sleeve seat 3 and the snap-fit ​​assembly 4 constitute a connection structure, and there are multiple connection structures, with at least two connection structures used to connect the inlet flange and the outlet flange respectively.

[0031] It is known that if only one connection structure is set, when performing performance tests on a pilot-operated safety valve, the connection structure is connected to one of the inlet flange and the outlet flange. The other of the inlet flange and the outlet flange needs to be sealed by a sealing structure to ensure its sealing performance, which is quite troublesome to operate.

[0032] With the above settings, when performing performance tests on pilot-operated safety valves, both the medium inlet and outlet of the pilot-operated safety valve can be blocked simultaneously. The operation is relatively simple, which can further shorten the preparation time before the test and the disassembly time after the test, resulting in high testing efficiency.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support base 1 is L-shaped to form two mutually perpendicular support parts. There are two connecting structures, which are installed on the two support parts respectively. The center lines of the cylinder base 3 of the two connecting structures are perpendicular to each other so as to connect the inlet flange and the outlet flange.

[0034] The cylinder seat 3 is cylindrical, and the internal space of the cylinder seat 3 forms a circular cavity 31. The center line of the cylinder seat 3 is perpendicular to the support part connected to it. One end of the cylinder seat 3 is fixedly connected to the support seat 1, and the other end of the cylinder seat 3 is open to form the aforementioned opening 32. The cylinder seat 3 has a plurality of mounting slots for mounting the snap-fit ​​parts 41 at the end near the opening 32. The mounting slots correspond one-to-one with the snap-fit ​​parts 41. There are three snap-fit ​​parts 41. The three snap-fit ​​parts 41 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the cylinder seat 3, which can improve the stability of the snap-fit ​​assembly 4 in snapping the pilot-operated safety valve.

[0035] The testing pipeline 22 includes a first pipe section 221, a second pipe section 222, and a third pipe section 223. The first pipe section 221, the second pipe section 222, and the third pipe section 223 are interconnected by a tee connector. The first pipe section 221 is used to connect to the test medium source. The ends of the second pipe section 222 and the third pipe section 223 that are far apart from each other form the aforementioned test ports. The test ports of the second pipe section 222 and the third pipe section 223 are used to connect the medium inlet and the medium outlet of the pilot-operated safety valve, respectively. The test medium can be injected into the second pipe section 222 and the third pipe section 223 through the first pipe section 221. The test medium enters the medium inlet and the medium outlet through the two test ports, respectively, and then enters the pilot-operated safety valve for performance testing of the pilot-operated safety valve.

[0036] In some embodiments, the testing device 100 further includes a stop assembly 5, which includes a stop member 51. The stop member 51 is slidably connected to the cylinder seat 3 along the axial direction of the cylinder seat 3 and is disposed at the cylinder opening 32. The stop member 51 has a through hole 511 and a stop surface 512. One end of the through hole 511 is connected to the detection port, and the other end of the through hole 511 forms a communication port 5111 for communicating with the connection port 203. The communication port 5111 is formed on the stop surface 512, and the stop surface 512 is used to stop the sealing surface 2021 of the connecting flange 202.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the side of the connecting flange 202 facing away from the main valve body 201 is its sealing surface 2021, and the side of the connecting flange 202 close to the main valve body 201 is its back side.

[0038] When assembling the pilot-operated safety valve and the testing device 100, the pilot-operated safety valve is placed in an appropriate position, and the connecting flange 202 is located within multiple snap-fit ​​parts 41. The connecting flange 202 is snapped in place by the multiple snap-fit ​​parts 41. At the same time, the stop part 51 is controlled to slide towards the pilot-operated safety valve until the stop surface 512 abuts against the sealing surface 2021 of the connecting flange 202, so that the connecting pipe is connected to the connection port 203 of the pilot-operated safety valve through the through hole 511. Thus, the test assembly of the pilot-operated safety valve can be realized.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, taking the connection structure connected to the outlet flange as an example, the specific structure of the connection structure is described in detail. The stop member 51 includes a sliding column 513 and a stop plate 514. The sliding column 513 is located at the cylinder opening 32 and is slidably engaged with the cylinder seat 3. The stop plate 514 is located outside the cylinder cavity 31 and is fixedly connected to the sliding column 513, thereby improving the stability of the stop member 51 sliding relative to the cylinder seat 3.

[0040] The through hole 511 is located at the center of the stop member 51 and extends through the axial direction of the stop member 51, that is, the through hole 511 passes through the sliding column 513 and the stop plate 514. The end face of the sliding column 513 away from the stop plate 514 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 515. The detection pipe 22 also includes a fourth pipe section 224. The center line of the fourth pipe section 224 coincides with the center line of the cylinder seat 3. One end of the fourth pipe section 224 is connected to the third pipe section 223. The other end of the fourth pipe section 224 passes through the sleeve 515 and can slide relative to the sleeve 515. Thus, the through hole 511 and the detection pipe 22 can be kept connected when the stop member 51 slides relative to the cylinder seat 3.

[0041] In addition, the side wall of the cylinder seat 3 has a through groove 33 through which the third pipe section 223 passes to connect with the fourth pipe section 224.

[0042] Optionally, a sealing structure is provided between the fourth pipe section 224 and the sleeve 515 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the two.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the stop assembly 5 also includes a sealing ring 52, which is arranged circumferentially along the communication port 5111. The sealing ring 52 is located on the stop surface 512 and connected to the stop member 51.

[0044] Optionally, the sealing ring 52 is made of rubber.

[0045] By setting a sealing ring 52, the sealing performance at the stop point between the stop face 512 and the connecting flange 202 of the pilot-operated safety valve can be improved, thereby improving the sealing performance between the through hole 511 and the connecting port 203 of the pilot-operated safety valve, and thus improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0046] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​member 41 includes a first segment 411 and a second segment 412 arranged intersecting each other. The extension direction of the first segment 411 is consistent with the axial direction of the cylinder seat 3. The second segment 412 extends from the first segment 411 toward the cylinder seat 3. The portion of the first segment 411 away from the second segment 412 forms a hinge portion 4111, and the portion of the second segment 412 away from the first segment 411 forms a snap-fit ​​portion 4121. The snap-fit ​​portion 4121 has a snap-fit ​​surface 4122 arranged toward the cylinder opening 32. The snap-fit ​​surface 4122 is used to fit against the back of the connecting flange 202.

[0047] During the assembly of the pilot-operated safety valve, the pilot-operated safety valve is placed in an appropriate position, with the connecting flange 202 positioned between multiple snap-fit ​​parts 41. The snap-fit ​​part 4121 is located on the back of the connecting flange 202. By controlling the snap-fit ​​parts 4121 of the multiple snap-fit ​​parts 41 to rotate inward simultaneously, the snap-fit ​​surfaces 4122 of the multiple snap-fit ​​parts 4121 can simultaneously adhere to the back of the connecting flange 202, thereby achieving snap-fit ​​of the pilot-operated safety valve and fixing its position. At the same time, the test pipeline 22 is connected to the connection port 203 of the pilot-operated safety valve through the through hole 511 of the stop part 51, thus completing the pre-test preparation work for the pilot-operated safety valve.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first segment 411 and the second segment 412 of the snap-fit ​​member 41 are perpendicular to each other. The portion of the first segment 411 away from the second segment 412 forms the aforementioned hinge portion 4111. The hinge portion 4111 is hinged to the outer wall of the cylinder seat 3 via a pivot. The portion of the second segment 412 away from the first segment 411 forms the aforementioned snap-fit ​​portion 4121. The side of the snap-fit ​​portion 4121 facing the cylinder seat 3 is the snap-fit ​​surface 4122. The first segments 411 of the three snap-fit ​​members 41 simultaneously adhere to the outer side of the connecting flange 202, and the snap-fit ​​portions 4121 of the three snap-fit ​​members 41 simultaneously adhere to the back of the connecting flange 202, thereby ensuring the stability of the pilot-operated safety valve.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​assembly 4 also includes an anti-slip pad 44, which is in contact with the snap-fit ​​surface 4122 and connected to the snap-fit ​​portion 4121.

[0050] The anti-slip pad 44 increases the friction between the snap-fit ​​surface 4122 and the connecting flange 202, thereby increasing the stability of the pilot-operated safety valve and preventing relative sliding between the pilot-operated safety valve and the testing device 100 during the test, thus ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0051] Optionally, the anti-slip mat 44 is made of rubber.

[0052] In some embodiments, the testing device 100 further includes a control component 6, which includes a push ring 61 slidably fitted onto the cylinder seat 3. The push ring 61 has a first inclined surface 611, and the locking member 41 has a second inclined surface 413. The second inclined surface 413 is located on the side of the hinge portion 4111 near the locking portion 4121. The first inclined surface 611 and the second inclined surface 413 have the same inclination direction. The second inclined surface 413 gradually moves away from the center line of the cylinder seat 3 from the hinge portion 4111 to the locking portion 4121 in the axial direction of the cylinder seat 3. When the push ring 61 slides toward the locking member 41, the first inclined surface 611 can fit against the second inclined surface 413 so that the locking portion 4121 rotates toward the cylinder seat 3.

[0053] The push ring 61 can simultaneously control the rotation of multiple snap-fit ​​parts 41, thereby controlling the snap-fit ​​parts 4121 of multiple snap-fit ​​parts 41 to simultaneously snap onto the connecting flange 202 of the pilot-operated safety valve. The operation is relatively simple, which can further shorten the preparation time before the test and the disassembly time after the test, and improve the test efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, the control assembly 6 further includes a control ring 62 and a fixed ring 63. The fixed ring 63 is fitted onto the cylinder base 3, and the control ring 62 is fitted onto the fixed ring 63. The control ring 62 and the fixed ring 63 are threaded together. The control ring 62 is rotatably connected to the propulsion ring 61.

[0055] Twisting the control ring 62 causes it to move axially through the threaded engagement between the control ring 62 and the fixed ring 63, which in turn drives the propulsion ring 61 to move along the cylinder seat 3. The propulsion ring 61 drives multiple locking parts 41 to rotate simultaneously, thereby achieving the locking of the pilot-operated safety valve.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the push ring 61 is conical, forming the first inclined surface 611. The second inclined surface 413 is located on the side of the snap-fit ​​member 41 near the first inclined surface 611. The inclination direction and inclination angle of the first inclined surface 611 and the second inclined surface 413 are the same. The push ring 61 is located axially between the control ring 62 and the snap-fit ​​member 41 on the cylinder seat 3. The end face of the push ring 61 near the control ring 62 is rotatably connected to the control ring 62. The control ring 62 drives the push ring 61 to move towards the snap-fit ​​member 41. The first inclined surface 611 of the push ring 61 fits against the second inclined surface 413 of the snap-fit ​​member 41, thereby driving the snap-fit ​​member 41 to rotate, causing multiple snap-fit ​​parts 4121 to rotate inward, thus achieving snap-fit ​​of the pilot-operated safety valve.

[0057] In some embodiments, the control assembly 6 further includes a connecting frame 64, the cylinder seat 3 has a relief groove 34, the connecting frame 64 passes through the relief groove 34, the control ring 62 is connected to one end of the connecting frame 64 and is rotatable relative to the connecting frame 64, and the other end of the connecting frame 64 is connected to the stop member 51.

[0058] Therefore, the control ring 62 can simultaneously drive the push ring 61 and the stop member 51 to move. When installing the pilot-operated safety valve on the test device 100, first place the pilot-operated safety valve in an appropriate position, and then turn the control ring 62 to move it closer to the snap-fit ​​member 41. This simultaneously achieves the snap-fit ​​of the pilot-operated safety valve and the connection between the test pipeline 22 and the connection port 203, completing the pre-test preparation work. The operation is relatively simple. Similarly, when disassembling the pilot-operated safety valve, simply turn the control ring 62 to move it away from the snap-fit ​​member 41. The operation is also relatively simple, which can significantly shorten the pre-test preparation time and the post-test disassembly time, thereby improving test efficiency.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the dimensions of the clearance groove 34 in the circumferential direction of the cylinder seat 3 match the dimensions of the connecting frame 64 in the circumferential direction of the cylinder seat 3. The clearance groove 34 can limit the connecting frame 64, thereby restricting the stop member 51 to slide only along the axial direction of the cylinder seat 3. There are multiple connecting frames 64, which are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the cylinder seat 3. The push ring 61 and the stop member 51 are connected through multiple connecting frames 64, which can improve the stability of the connection between the stop member 51 and the push ring 61, thereby ensuring the stability of the sliding of the stop ring.

[0060] In some embodiments, the control ring 62 is rotatably connected to the propulsion ring 61 via a bearing.

[0061] In some embodiments, the control ring 62 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 64 via a bearing.

[0062] This improves the smoothness of the rotation of the control ring 62 relative to the propulsion ring 61 and the connecting parts, making it more convenient for disassembly and assembly operations during the testing of the pilot-operated safety valve.
