[0039] The embodiment of the utility model discloses a portable locking mechanism, which has a simple structure and can lock and fix the four-way valve without using cylinder pneumatic components, is low in cost and portable, and is convenient for daily adjustment and moving of the test station. Figure 1 As shown, including:
[0040] The portable frame 100 has a base plate 110 and a side plate 120 perpendicular to the base plate 110;
[0041] The base 200 is used to detect the test piece and is fixed on the substrate 110;
[0042] The pressing component 300 is assembled on the transmission component 400 so that the pressing component 300 is pressed downward under the action of the transmission component 400. The pressing component 300 includes a pressing switch 310 and a pressing mold 320. The pressing switch 310 pushes the pressing mold 320 and the base 200 downward to fix the test piece.
[0043] The balancing component 500 is fixedly connected to the pressing mold 320 of the pressing component 300 so that the pressing mold 320 can maintain vertical pressing during the pressing process.
[0044] Through the above structure, the transmission component 400 can adjust the clamping component 300 in a wide range, so that the clamping component 300 can move up and down to adapt to the test of four-way valves of different materials and sizes. After the adjustment of the transmission component 400 is completed, the four-way valve can be placed in the clamping mold 320 to press down the four-way valve for fixing through the clamping switch 310. The clamping mold 320 and the base 200 are used to fix the four-way valve to be tested to achieve locking. Then, the base 200 is connected to an external detection device to perform life tests such as power-on, pressurization, and reversing of the four-way valve.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, a protruding nozzle connected to the three-way oil port of the four-way valve is provided on the top of the base, and air inlets respectively connected to the protruding nozzles are provided on the sides of the base, and the air inlets are connected to external detection equipment.
[0046] It should be noted that this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific parameters, indicators and testing methods of the four-way valve life test. The technicians can set the specific test items and indicators according to actual usage requirements.
[0047] For better understanding, in an optional implementation, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping switch 310 includes a fixed seat 311, a pushing rod 312 arranged in the fixed seat 311 and extending from the lower end, and a handle 313 arranged on the fixed seat 311 to control the extension of the pushing rod 312. The pushing rod 312 is connected to the clamping mold 320 so that it is pressed downward under the guidance of the balancing component 500 and clamps the test piece with the base 200.
[0048] This embodiment has a simple structure, is easy to move and carry, and has a low cost. It can quickly implement the test and fixation of the four-way valve without the aid of cylinder pneumatic devices, and can effectively implement fast adjustment and testing of different materials according to the material size, with high testing efficiency.
[0049] For better understanding, in an optional implementation, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5The transmission component 400 includes a sliding seat 410, a sliding block 420, a screw rod 430 and a crank 440. The sliding seat 410 is fixed on the side plate 120 of the portable frame 100. The crank 440 is transmission-connected with the screw rod 430. A slide rail is provided on the sliding seat 410 to enable the sliding block 420 to move up and down along the slide rail. The sliding block 420 is transmission-connected with the screw rod 430 so that the crank 440 drives the sliding block 420 to move through the screw rod 430 when rotating. The sliding block 420 is fixedly connected to the clamping component 300.
[0050] In this embodiment, the screw rod and the crank are connected via gears (not shown in the figure). In some embodiments, the screw rod and the crank can also be arranged to rotate coaxially, and technicians can make adaptive adjustments based on actual usage requirements.
[0051] In some embodiments, a locking member 450 is provided on the crank 440 for locking the rotation of the crank 440. When in use, the screw rod is rotated by shaking the crank, and the sliding block moves up and down along the slide rail under the action of the screw rod, wherein the screw rod transforms the rotation into the linear motion is a conventional technical means, which will not be elaborated here.
[0052] The sliding block of this embodiment is adjusted to move up and down in a wide range under the control of the crank to adapt to four-way valves of different specifications and models of different materials. After the adjustment is completed, the crank is limited by the locking member to prevent it from rotating under force. At this time, the spatial position adjustment between the pressing mold and the base is completed. The four-way valve to be tested is placed on the base, and the pressing mold is controlled to be pressed down by the pressing switch to fix and press the four-way valve to be tested with the base.
[0053] refer to Figure 2 and 3 The balancing component 500 of the above embodiment plays a guiding role when the transmission component 400 and the clamping switch 310 press down or lift the clamping mold 320, so that the clamping mold 320 always maintains balance and moves linearly in the vertical direction.
[0054] For better understanding, in an optional implementation, the balancing component 500 includes a balancing board 510 and guide posts 520 disposed on both sides of the balancing board 510, the upper end of the guide posts 520 is fixed to the side plate 120 of the portable frame 100 through a clamping block, and the lower end is fixed to the base plate 110, so that the guide posts 520 always remain perpendicular to the base plate 110. Guide sleeves 530 are provided on both sides of the balancing board 510 and are sleeved on the guide posts 520, and the pressing mold 320 is disposed below the balancing board 510.
[0055] Further, in order to solve the problem of rapid assembly of a detachable base for testing four-way valves of different specifications, in an optional embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and 6 -7, the base 200 is assembled on the bottom plate 210 through a positioning mechanism, the bottom plate 210 is fixed on the base plate 110 of the portable frame 100, a positioning groove 211 is provided in the middle of the bottom plate 210, and a positioning protrusion 220 is provided at the bottom of the base 200 corresponding to the positioning groove 211.
[0056] This embodiment can be quickly positioned and fixed by the positioning groove and the positioning protrusion. The base can be directly aligned and placed on the bottom plate. The contours of the positioning groove and the positioning protrusion are consistent, which can prevent loosening in the horizontal direction. In the vertical direction, the clamping mold is fixed by pressing down to limit the vertical direction. The base structure and the bottom plate structure can be quickly replaced and accurately positioned to meet the testing requirements of different materials and specifications.
[0057] Furthermore, in order to make the base more stable after replacement, in an optional embodiment, the base is further restricted in the vertical direction by a positioning fixing structure based on the positioning groove and the positioning protrusion. Specifically, refer to Figure 6 and 7 , and also includes a positioning and fixing structure, which includes a pressing groove 212 arranged on one side of the positioning groove 211, a convex strip 221 arranged on the side of the positioning protrusion 220 corresponding to the pressing groove 212, and a limiting block 230. The positioning protrusion of this embodiment has a smaller contour than the positioning groove in the direction of extending the convex strip, so as to provide a space for the positioning protrusion to move horizontally when it is placed in the positioning groove. After being placed in the positioning groove 211, the positioning protrusion 220 moves horizontally so that the convex strip 221 is inserted into the pressing groove 212. The limiting block 230 is placed in the positioning groove 211 and is located on a side away from the pressing groove 211 or the convex strip 221 to limit the convex strip 221 from retreating from the pressing groove 211.
[0058] In some embodiments, to facilitate the removal of the limit block, the width of the limit block is smaller than the width of the positioning groove so that the positioning groove leaves space for disassembling or picking up the limit block after the limit block is placed. Furthermore, to facilitate the removal of the limit block, in some embodiments, a pull ring or a pull rod for lifting the limit block can be provided on the top of the limit block, so that after the limit block is removed, the base can be translated to the position where the limit block is located, so that the convex strip can be removed from the pressing groove and the base can be removed for replacement.
[0059] After the base is positioned by quickly replacing or installing the base in this embodiment, the convex strip and the pressing groove cooperate with each other, and the base is limited by a limit block to prevent the convex strip from withdrawing from the pressing groove, thereby effectively limiting the base in the vertical direction and improving the stability of the base's rapid installation.
[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the structure of the portable locking mechanism of the utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Without departing from the concept of the utility model, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure so that the utility model can be applied to more specific application scenarios.
[0061] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present utility model further provides a four-way valve life detection device, including a portable locking mechanism as described in any of the above embodiments or optional embodiments.
[0062] The above disclosure is only one or more preferred embodiments of the utility model, which is used to help understand the utility model concept of the technical solution, and is not intended to limit the utility model in other forms. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other equivalent or customary replacement schemes based on the features defined by the utility model, which still fall within the scope covered by the utility model.
