Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circulating pump detection, and particularly relates to a switchable waterway structure for circulating pump testing. Background Art
[0002] The durability performance and pumping performance of a circulating pump are important evaluation indexes of the circulating pump. The pumping performance generally reflects the pumping force of the circulating pump under different path lengths; the durability performance generally refers to the attenuation degree of the pumping force before and after a large number of start-stop durability tests. The usage scenarios of water heaters are generally small-sized rooms, ordinary rooms, multi-story duplexes or large flats, etc., and the lengths of the water supply paths of the water heaters are different. The circulating pump is a key component for the stable operation of the water heater. In order to ensure that the water heater can maintain better durability performance and suction performance under different usage scenarios, each batch of circulating pumps needs to be sampled and detected. In order to facilitate the rapid detection of the pumping force of the circulating pump under different usage environments and the pumping force before and after the durability test, a switchable waterway structure that is easy to detect is required to reduce the layout space of the test platform and improve the test efficiency.

[0027] The first test water circuit 20, the second test water circuit 30, the third test water circuit 40 and the output pipe 50 are connected in sequence; the first test water circuit 20 is provided with a water inlet interface 21, and the output pipe 50 is provided with a water outlet interface 51; the first test water circuit 20, the second test water circuit 30 and the third test water circuit 40 are arranged in a serpentine meandering coil structure;
[0028] A first bypass pipe 22 and a first control valve 23 are arranged between the end of the first test water circuit 20 and the output pipe 50; a second bypass pipe 31 and a second control valve 32 are arranged between the second test water circuit 30 and the output pipe 50; a third control valve 41 is arranged between the end of the third test water circuit 40 and the output pipe 50.
[0029] In the present utility model, the meandering serpentine coil arrangement of the first test water circuit 20, the second test water circuit 30, and the third test water circuit 40 can simulate the actual meandering pipe layout working conditions of the water heater connection pipeline; and by the first control valve 23, the second control valve 32 or the third control valve 41, controlling the conduction state of the test water circuit and the output pipe 50, the water circuit length of the actual water circuit of the test water circuit can be changed; realizing multiple test states such as only the first test water circuit 20 being conductive, or the first test water circuit 20 and the second test water circuit 30 being conductive, or all three test water circuits being connected in sequence, etc. Without changing the installation position of the circulating pump, only by switching the conduction state of the control valve on the water circuit test stand, the suction test under various water circuit length simulation working conditions can be quickly carried out, greatly reducing the layout space of the test platform and effectively improving the test efficiency.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first test water circuit 20, the second test water circuit 30 and the third test water circuit 40 are composed of a plurality of vertically arranged water pipes 60 and horizontally arranged water pipes 61 arranged side by side; the horizontally arranged water pipes 61 are connected to the vertically arranged water pipes 60 through arc-shaped elbows. By means of the vertically arranged water pipes 60, the horizontally arranged water pipes 61 and the arc-shaped elbows, the water circuit layout of the meandering serpentine coil structure can be realized on the base frame 10; and the vertically arranged water pipes 60 can be arranged with water pipes of the same standard length, such as water pipes of 1 meter or 2 meters in length, which is convenient for setting.
[0031] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped elbow is provided with a first arc-shaped elbow 62 and a second arc-shaped elbow 63 with different radii. The first arc-shaped elbow 62 and the second arc-shaped elbow 63 with different pipe diameters can simulate the water circuit working conditions of large and small corners in the actual water circuit laying, and are closer to the use scenario of the water heater circulating pump.
[0032] Specifically, two adjacent vertical water pipes 60 are arranged in a periodic pattern with two interval distances, namely a first interval 64 and a second interval 65; the upper parts of a plurality of vertical water pipes 60 are all connected to a horizontal water pipe 61 through a first arc-shaped elbow 62, and the lower parts are all connected to the horizontal water pipe 61 through a second arc-shaped elbow 63. In this arrangement method, the vertical water pipes 60 are arranged at intervals in a periodic manner with the first interval 64 and the second interval 65, so that the water measurement water circuit arrangement of the serpentine coil structure can be completed by using the vertical water pipes 60, horizontal water pipes 61, first arc-shaped elbows 62 and second arc-shaped elbows 63 of the same specification, and the water circuit conditions of large corners and small corners in the actual water circuit laying can be simulated.

By arranging the test water circuits on both sides of the vertical frame 11, the span space of the vertical frame 11 is further reduced in space.
[0034] Furthermore, a plurality of vertical frames 11 can be arranged at intervals to further reduce the span space of the base frame 10.
[0035] In some embodiments, the water circuit lengths of the first test water circuit 20 and the second test water circuit 30 are the same and are half of the water circuit length of the third test water circuit 40. In this arrangement method, the total length of the first test water circuit 20 and the second test water circuit 30 is the same as that of the third test water circuit, and the relative sides of the vertical frame 11 can be arranged with a similar horizontal span, making full use of the space on both sides of the vertical frame 11 for the arrangement of the test water circuits.
[0036] For example, the water circuit length of the third test water circuit is in the range of 20 meters to 40 meters; then the water circuit lengths of the first test water circuit and the second test water circuit are in the range of 10 meters to 20 meters.
[0037] After multiple test runs, preferably, the water circuit lengths of both the first test water circuit 20 and the second test water circuit 30 are 15 meters; the water circuit length of the third test water circuit 40 is 30 meters. It can preferably simulate the usage conditions of scenarios such as small apartments, ordinary apartments, multi-story duplexes or large flats, and can be conveniently arranged by using the vertical water pipes 60, horizontal water pipes 61, first arc-shaped elbows 62 and second arc-shaped elbows 63 of the same specification; among them, the first bypass pipe 22 and the second bypass pipe 31 are centrally arranged in the vertical water pipe 60.
[0038] The specific switching conditions of the test water circuit are as follows:
[0039] 1. Simulate the test conditions of a small living room. Close the second control valve 32 and the third control valve 41, and open the first control valve 23. At this time, the test water circuit flows along the first test water circuit 20 and the first bypass pipe 22 towards the output pipe 50, which is the test water circuit condition with a water circuit length of 15 meters.
[0040] 2. Simulate the test conditions of an ordinary living room. Close the first control valve 23 and the third control valve 41, and open the second control valve 32. At this time, the test water circuit flows along the first test water circuit 20, the second test water circuit 30, and the second bypass pipe 31 towards the output pipe 50, which is the test water circuit condition with a water circuit length of 30 meters.
[0041] 3. Simulate the test conditions of a multi-story duplex or a large flat floor. Close the first control valve 23 and the second control valve 32, and open the third control valve 41. At this time, the test water circuit flows along the first test water circuit 20, the second test water circuit 30, and the third test water circuit 40 towards the output pipe 50, which is the test water circuit condition with a water circuit length of 60 meters.
