The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a detection device for mechanical seals. The detection device for mechanical seals includes a detection box 2, a detection part, and a liquid supply part.

The box body 13 has a receiving cavity capable of accommodating a colored solution, and a liquid injection pump 12 is provided on the liquid injection pipeline 10 to pump the colored solution in the receiving cavity into the cylindrical structure 5.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the mechanical seal 7 to be detected is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting shaft 6, the gland 8 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mechanical seal 7, and the gland 8 and the cylindrical structure 5 are sealingly connected, so that the mechanical seal 7 is sealingly fitted with the outer wall of the mounting shaft 6 and the inner wall of the mounting through hole respectively.

Then, water is injected into the detection box 2 to submerge the mechanical seal 7, and detection is carried out. When the mixed colored solution in the sealed chamber leaks out from the sealing surface of the mechanical seal 7, it will enter the water in the detection box 2.

[0028] Through the above settings, water is injected into the box body 13 through the liquid injection port 17, and colored pigment is injected into the box body 13 through the blanking port 18. Then, the driving motor 16 is started to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 14 to drive the rotation of the stirring rods 15, so that the colored pigment and water can be mixed together by the stirring rods 15 to form a colored solution. Then, the colored solution is injected into the sealed chamber by using the liquid injection pump 12 and the liquid injection pipeline 10.

[0035] Through the above arrangement, the colored solution can be poured back into the box 13 through the circulation pump 20 and the circulation pipeline 19 to achieve the recycling of the colored solution.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the detection box 2 is provided with a drain pipe 3 connected to the inside of the detection box 2, and the drain pipe 3 is provided with a drain valve 4. In this way, by opening the drain valve 4, the drain pipe 3 can drain the water in the detection box 2, so as to facilitate the next detection.

[0037] Specifically, in the embodiment of the utility model, a ring-shaped mounting groove is provided on the side of the gland 8 facing the cylindrical structure 5, and a sealing member is provided in the ring-shaped mounting groove. In this way, a sealing fit between the gland 8 and the cylindrical structure 5 can be achieved, thereby preventing leakage between the gland 8 and the cylindrical structure 5 from affecting the detection result.

In this way, the gland 8 can be installed on the cylindrical structure 5, and the gland 8 can be pressed against the sealing member to achieve a sealed connection between the gland 8 and the cylindrical structure 5.

[0039] Preferably, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the mechanical seal 7 has a step surface, and the gland 8 is pressed tightly on the step surface.

[0040] Preferably, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the fastening member 9 is a fastening bolt, the fastening bolt is threadedly connected to the cylindrical structure 5, and the sealing member is a sealing ring.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, a liquid injection valve 11 is provided on the liquid injection pipeline 10. In this way, by opening or closing the liquid injection valve 11, the connection and disconnection between the box body 13 and the cylindrical structure 5 can be achieved.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the detection device for mechanical seal further comprises a base 1, and the detection box 2 and the liquid supply part are both mounted on the base 1.

The liquid injection valve 11 is opened, the mixed colored solution is extracted by the liquid injection pump 12, and the colored solution is injected into the cylindrical structure 5 through the liquid injection pipeline 10 until the cylindrical structure 5 is filled with the colored solution. The internal pressure is set to the specified pressure value, and then water is injected into the detection box 2, and then the detection is carried out. When leakage occurs, the colored solution will leak into the water in the detection box 2, which is convenient for the detection personnel to quickly judge whether the seal is complete, solving the problem in the prior art that when the leakage amount of the pressurized liquid is small, the change of the pressure value is small, and it is not convenient for the detection personnel to judge whether there is leakage. After the detection is completed, the return valve 23 is opened, so that the colored solution in the cylindrical structure 5 flows into the return box 21, and then the colored solution can be poured back into the box body 13 through the circulation pump 20 and the circulation pipeline 19 to realize the recycling of the colored solution.

Then, water is injected into the detection box to submerge the mechanical seal, and the detection is carried out. When the colored solution mixed in the sealed chamber leaks out from the sealing surface of the mechanical seal, it will enter the water in the detection box. In this way, the colored solution entering the transparent liquid can facilitate the detection personnel to quickly judge whether the sealed chamber is sealed, thus solving the problem in the prior art that it is not convenient for the detection personnel to judge when the leakage amount of the mechanical seal of the mechanical seal detection device is small, so as to check the sealing surface of the mechanical seal.
