Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of flow meter pressure testing devices, and more specifically to a flange type flow meter pressure testing device. Background Art
[0002] Flowmeter is the eye of industrial production and one of the components of metrology science and technology. It is closely related to the national economy, national defense construction, and scientific research. Flowmeters include gas flowmeters and liquid flowmeters. In order to ensure the accuracy of flowmeter measurement, gas flowmeters need to be pressure tested and calibrated before leaving the factory, so a pressure test device for gas flowmeter pressure testing is needed.
[0003] The existing gas flow meter pressure test device lacks a corresponding pressure maintaining mechanism at the connection with the flow meter. When disassembling and replacing different flow meters for pressure testing, the gas inside the connection parts must be completely discharged before the flow meter can be disassembled and replaced to improve the safety during disassembly and assembly. However, such a mechanism needs to fill the gas inside the connection parts again when the next flow meter is reinstalled for pressure testing, which increases the inflation volume and waiting time, and is not conducive to the rapid and continuous pressure testing of large quantities of flow meters. Therefore, we propose a flange flow meter pressure test device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

At the same time, the movable sealing cover that is lifted up automatically seals the top of the pressure testing cylinder through the sealing edge, and retains part of the gas seal inside the pressure testing cylinder to present a pressure maintaining state, thereby facilitating the installation and pressure testing of the next flow meter, reducing the amount of gas filled inside the pressure testing cylinder when the next flow meter is installed and pressure tested, reducing waiting time, and being conducive to the rapid and continuous pressure testing of large quantities of flow meters.

[0027] A flange flowmeter body 7 and an upper sealing plate 8 are arranged on the top of the pressure test cylinder 1. The interior of the pressure test cylinder 1 is a hollow structure, and a movable sealing cover 9 is arranged inside the pressure test cylinder 1. The movable sealing cover 9 includes a conical protrusion 901 and a sealing edge 902. A sealing ring 903 is fixedly attached to the sealing edge 902, and a venting groove 904 is provided on the conical protrusion 901.

A fastener 10 is connected, a handle is fixedly welded on one side of the top of the fastener 10, a support spring 11 is arranged at the bottom of the fastener 10, two ends of the support spring 11 are respectively in contact with one side of the outer wall of the pressure test cylinder 1 and one side of the bottom of the fastener 10, the outer edge of the sealing edge 902 is slidingly connected to the inner wall of the pressure test cylinder 1, and the bottom of the movable sealing cover 9 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the pressure test cylinder 1 through a reset spring 12, and the top of the conical protrusion 901 is in contact with the inner wall of the bottom flange of the flange type flowmeter body 7.
[0028] The operating principle of this flange flowmeter pressure test device is:
[0029] First, place the flange flow meter body 7 on the top of the pressure test cylinder 1 through the flange at the bottom, and make the hook sections 1001 of the two fasteners 10 both stuck on the flange at the bottom of the flange flow meter body 7. For the sake of safety, the flange at the bottom of the flange flow meter body 7 and the bolt holes at the top of the pressure test cylinder 1 are connected by bolts to improve the stability of the connection. Then, the upper sealing plate 8 is fixedly installed on the flange at the top of the flange flow meter body 7 by screws. During the process of being installed and placed on the top of the pressure test cylinder 1, the inner wall of the flange part squeezes the top of the movable sealing cover 9, pushing the movable sealing cover 9 downward, at this time, the inside of the flange part at the bottom of the flange flowmeter body 7 can be connected with the inside of the pressure test cylinder 1 through the air permeable groove 904 on the conical protrusion 901 and the sealing edge 902, at this time, the air pump 3 can be started to inflate the inside of the gas storage tank 2, and then the gas stored in the gas storage tank 2 is released to the inside of the pressure test cylinder 1 through the air pipe 2 6 until the flange flowmeter body 7 meets the pressure test;
[0030] When it is necessary to remove the flange flowmeter body 7 and conduct a pressure test on the next flange flowmeter body 7, first remove the bolts connecting the flange flowmeter body 7 to the top of the pressure test cylinder 1, and then use the handle to pry the two fasteners 10 to both sides to separate the hook section 1001 from the flange part. At this time, due to the pressure inside the pressure test cylinder 1, the movable sealing cover 9 and the flange flowmeter body 7 are lifted up together, which facilitates the removal of the flange flowmeter body 7 and makes the sealing edge 902 contact and seal with the top of the inner wall of the pressure test cylinder 1, so as to maintain the pressure of the remaining gas inside the pressure test cylinder 1, thereby reducing the inflation amount of the gas inside the pressure test cylinder 1 after the next flange flowmeter body 7 is installed, thereby improving the convenience during use.
[0031] The fastener 10 is provided to facilitate the initial connection of the flange flowmeter body 7 during installation, so that the flange flowmeter body 7 can be directly fastened on the top of the pressure test cylinder 1, reducing the leakage of the internal gas of the pressure test cylinder 1 caused by the long process. The bottom of the fastener 10 can be supported by the support spring 11, thereby facilitating the fastening of the bottom flange of the flange flowmeter body 7.
[0032] Embodiment 2:
[0033] In view of the above embodiment 1, for further description, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The flange portion at the bottom of the flange flowmeter body 7 is in contact with the top of the pressure test cylinder 1, and a hook section 1001 is provided on the top of the fastener 10. The hook sections 1001 at the top of the two fasteners 10 are both snap-fitted with the top of the flange portion of the flange flowmeter body 7. The upper sealing plate 8 is fixedly installed on the flange portion at the top of the flange flowmeter body 7 by screws.

A plurality of bolt holes are provided on the outer edge of the top of the pressure test cylinder 1, and the bolt holes and the corresponding bolt holes on the flange portion at the bottom of the flange flowmeter body 7 are fixedly installed by screws.
[0034] By opening the vent groove 904 , a gas passage can be reserved for the connection between the flange portion at the bottom of the flange type flow meter body 7 and the conical protrusion 901 , thereby preventing the gas inside the pressure test cylinder 1 from entering the flange type flow meter body 7 .
[0035] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model; however, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and improved ideas of the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
