Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all of them; the technical features designed in different implementation manners of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other; based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] In the description of this application, it should be noted that all terms used in this application (including technical terms and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs, and should not be construed as a limitation of this application; it should be further understood that the terms used in this application should be understood as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of this specification and the relevant technical field, and should not be understood in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless clearly defined as such in this application.

[0047] This application provides a Figure 1-13 water passing performance testing machine as shown, which includes a liquid tank device, a quick automatic clamping device 100, a recovery device, a load-bearing frame 200 for carrying the quick automatic clamping device 100, a blowing and drying function device, and a filtering structure.

[0048] 1. Regarding the quick automatic clamping device 100:

[0049] The quick automatic clamping device 100 includes a frame 110, a driving mechanism 120 fixed on the frame 110, a planar flange 140, and a bowl-shaped flange 130; a movable plate 113 is slidably connected to the frame 110; the movable plate 113 is located above the bottom plate 111 of the frame 110, and its top surface is connected to the output end of the driving mechanism 120, so that the driving mechanism 120 can drive the movable plate 113 to freely slide up and down on the frame 110 to adjust the distance between the movable plate 113 and the bottom plate 111; a first through hole 1111 for installing an inflow pipe 331 is provided on the bottom plate 111, and a bowl-shaped flange 130 is detachably connected to its top surface; several upwardly protruding positioning pins 132 are detachably connected inside the bowl-shaped flange 130, and the bowl-shaped flange 130 matches the lower pump head flange of the pump body 20, so that the protruding outer ring 1311 of the bowl-shaped flange 130 can be sleeved outside the lower pump head flange of the pump body 20, and the positioning pins 132 can be inserted into the mounting holes of the lower pump head flange of the pump body 20 one by one; a second through hole 1131 for installing a return pipe 321 is provided on the movable plate 113, and a planar flange 140 is detachably connected to its bottom surface, and the planar flange 140 matches the upper pump head flange of the pump body 20 (the so-called matching between the two means that the planar flange 140 just fits inside the upper pump head flange, the outer edge of the upper pump head flange is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the planar flange 140, and the central through hole in the upper pump head flange corresponds to and communicates with the central through hole in the planar flange 140).

[0050] Specifically, during the test, the flange-type hot water circulation pump product to be tested is placed on the bowl-shaped flange 130. At this time, as Figure 2 shown, the protruding outer ring 1311 of the bowl-shaped flange 130 just fits outside the lower pump head flange of the pump body 20, and the positioning pins 132 are inserted into the mounting holes of the lower pump head flange of the pump body 20 one by one. The bowl-shaped flange 130 plays a dual positioning role for loading (its structural design facilitates the centering and positioning of the product pump head during loading, and the positioning pins 132 are stuck into the holes of the product pump head flange for positioning). At this time, the pump has been positioned and placed; then the driving mechanism 120 drives the movable plate 113 to move downward, driving the planar flange 140 to press on the upper pump head flange of the pump body 20 to complete the loading operation (the unloading operation is vice versa).

[0051] At this time, through the downward force applied by the driving device, and the combined action of the flat flange 140 and the bowl-shaped flange 130 clamping the upper liquid outlet and the lower liquid inlet of the pump, the pump is automatically clamped between the two. During use, the inlet pipe 331 and the return pipe 321 are fixedly connected to the through holes on the bottom plate 111 and the movable plate 113, and a sealed water flow path flowing through the inlet pipe 331, the pump, and the return pipe 321 can be formed. There is no need to frequently disassemble and replace the flanges on the inlet pipe 331 and the return pipe 321 or disassemble the screw fasteners on the flange of the pump, and the rapid loading and unloading of the pump can be achieved.

[0052] Among them, the flat flange 140 and the bowl-shaped flange 130 are important components for realizing the compatibility of flanges with different diameters; the flat flange 140 is adapted to the upper pump head flange of the pump body 20. When docking the upper pump head channel and cooperating with the pressing force of the driving mechanism 120, it can effectively connect the return pipe 321 with the upper pump head channel and prevent liquid leakage at this place; the bowl-shaped flange 130 plays a dual positioning role in feeding. The design of its convex outer ring 1311 is convenient for centering and positioning during the feeding of the pump product, and when installed, the positioning pins 132 can be correspondingly inserted into the installation holes of the lower pump head flange of the product for further positioning and fixing, which can effectively connect the inlet pipe 331 with the lower pump head channel and prevent liquid leakage at this place. Moreover, during the installation and disassembly process of the flat flange 140 and the bowl-shaped flange 130, there is no need to install and disassemble screws to effectively connect the inlet pipe 331 and the return pipe 321 with the pump head channel. Due to the detachable design of the flat flange 140 and the bowl-shaped flange 130, through the design of the driving mechanism 120 and the movable plate 113, the distance and clamping force between the flat flange 140 and the bowl-shaped flange 130 can be adjusted. During use, for pump products with different lengths (heights) and different diameters, only by simply replacing the flat flange 140 and the bowl-shaped flange 130 with different model sizes, the compatibility and common use of the equipment can be achieved, solving the problems of high labor cost, difficult operation, and slow efficiency caused by the need to frequently disassemble or install screws on the flange during the loading and unloading process of the connection between the existing pump head and the pipeline, and solving the problems of low efficiency, difficult operation, and high labor and equipment costs caused by the need to frequently install flanges with corresponding diameters when switching pump models.

[0053] The fast automatic clamping device 100 can realize the fast clamping and fast release of the pump loading, making the loading and unloading process of the product efficient and convenient, and has the characteristics of high loading and unloading clamping efficiency, compatibility with different models of pump bodies 20, and convenient operation. The device overcomes the defects of the existing water-passing performance tester, such as slow loading and unloading efficiency, high operation difficulty, the need to replace the corresponding caliber flange on the pipeline when switching the pump model, which makes loading and unloading time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the single function and poor compatibility of the test machine when used for testing different models of pump products, high labor costs, and high equipment costs. It saves manpower and equipment losses, saves time and effort in operation, is convenient to use, and improves production efficiency.

[0083] In this embodiment, the selected second washer 142 has a Shore hardness of 55 ± 5, and the performance requirements are wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, good sealing, strong toughness, long service life, moderate hardness and good resilience, etc., and the temperature resistance parameter is -60°C to -200°C, and its cross-section, inner cross-section, cut edges, etc. are required to be smooth and neat.

[0084] It should be noted that:

[0085] In this embodiment, the second annular jig plate 141, the second washer 142, and the annular seal 143 are connected by screw fasteners. In addition to the above fastener connection method, the second washer 142 and the annular seal 143 may not be excluded from being connected by other methods. For example, during the experimental verification process of this application, methods such as glue bonding and inlaying in the inner groove 1312 are also used for installation, but compared with the fastener connection method, its disadvantage is that it is not durable enough and may fall off during use.

[0086] Most of the upper pump head flanges of the existing pump body 20 adopt circular flanges. To be adapted thereto, optionally, the second annular fixture plate 141, the second gasket 142, and the annular seal 143 of the planar flange 140 of the embodiment of the present application are all circular structures. According to the above design concept, the shape and size of the planar flange 140 can be adaptively adjusted according to the structural requirements of the pump body 20.

[0087] The second fastening holes 1412, the first fixing holes 1411, the second fixing holes 1421, the third fixing holes 1431, etc. of this embodiment are arranged in an equiangular annular pattern. For the quantity and positions of the second fastening holes 1412, the first fixing holes 1411, the second fixing holes 1421, and the third fixing holes 1431, those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments, including but not limited to the embodiment solutions.

[0088] (3) Frame 110, drive mechanism 120, bottom plate 111, movable plate 113

[0089] Optionally, the frame 110 includes a top plate 114, a bottom plate 111, several guide columns 112, and a movable plate 113; the several guide columns 112 are vertically arranged between the top plate 114 and the bottom plate 111 for supporting the top plate 114; the drive mechanism 120 is fixedly connected to the top plate 114, and a linear bearing matching the guide columns 112 is provided on the movable plate 113. Among them, the linear bearing is sleeved on the guide columns 112 so that the movable plate 113 is located between the top plate 114 and the bottom plate 111, and the drive mechanism 120 can drive the movable plate 113 to freely slide up and down on the guide columns 112 to adjust the distance between the movable plate 113 and the bottom plate 111.

[0090] Optionally, the top plate 114 and the bottom plate 111 are respectively installed at the upper end and the lower end of the guide columns 112 by means of screw fastening.

[0091] In this embodiment, four guide columns 112 are used to support the four corners of the bottom plate 111 and the top plate 114. Synchronously, linear bearings are designed at the four corners of the movable plate 113 for sleeving and sliding up and down in the four guide columns 112. With the design of the four guide columns 112 at the four corners, it can be ensured that the top plate 114 and the movable plate 113 are pressed together with parallel forces, which helps to improve the operation and downward pressure stability of the fast automatic clamping device 100.

[0092] It should be noted that: According to the above design concept, for the design solutions of the quantity and positions of the guide columns 112, those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments, including but not limited to the embodiment solutions, but the embodiment solutions are preferred.

[0093] Optionally, the drive mechanism 120 is a cylinder.

[0094] In this embodiment, one cylinder is installed on each of the left and right sides under the top plate 114 by means of screw fastening; the stroke shaft (i.e., the output end) of the cylinder is fastened to the top surface of the movable plate 113 by screws.

[0095] It should be noted that: according to the above design concept, the number of the driving mechanisms 120 includes but is not limited to two, and those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments; moreover, other linear reciprocating driving mechanisms 120 can also be used, including but not limited to cylinders. For example, a hydraulic device, an oil pressure device, or a motor can be used to achieve the same effect as a pneumatic device (cylinder). Among them, the advantage of choosing a pneumatic cylinder is that its structure is simple and the cost is low, and the pressure of the standard parts of the pneumatic cylinder is known. The advantages of a hydraulic device, an oil pressure device, and a motor (servo motor) are that the downward pressure can be adjusted more precisely, and a pressure sensor needs to be added to detect the pressure. The disadvantages are that the structure is more complex, the control is more complex, and the cost is higher. The advantage is that the stroke control can be more precise (the stroke of the pneumatic cylinder can be adjusted. In this application scenario, the pressure does not need to be precisely controlled, as long as there is no water leakage. According to the height difference of the pump body 20, a pneumatic cylinder with a suitable stroke can be selected).

[0096] Optionally, the bottom plate 111 of the quick automatic clamping device 100 is fastened and installed on the load-bearing frame 200 by means of screw fastening.

[0097] It should be noted that: in this embodiment, two workstations are reserved on the load-bearing frame 200. This testing machine is designed with a total of two sets of quick automatic clamping devices 100, as well as two sets of return flow structures 320 and two sets of inflow structures 330 that match them. According to the above design concept, the number and positions of the quick automatic clamping device 100, the return flow structure 320, and the inflow structure 330 can be adaptively adjusted, including but not limited to the embodiment scheme.

[0098] In addition, in addition to the scheme where the bottom plate 111 is fastened and installed on the load-bearing frame 200 by means of screw fastening, the bottom plate 111 can also be designed with a liftable scheme, that is, a feeding support device is adopted: below the quick automatic clamping device 100, a lift driving mechanism 120 is provided on the load-bearing frame 200. The bottom plate 111 is also sleeved on the guide post 112 with a linear bushing. The bottom surface of the bottom plate 111 is connected to the output end of the lift driving mechanism 120, and the bottom plate 111 can be driven to move up and down by the lift mechanism (this lift design is not shown in the figure).

[0099] 2. For the liquid tank device, the liquid tank device includes a tank body 310, a return flow structure 320, and an inflow structure 330.

[0100] The inlet flow structure 330 includes an inlet flow pipe 331. The head end of the inlet flow pipe 331 is connected to the bottom area of the box body 310 to communicate with the internal liquid path of the box body 310; its tail end is connected to the first through hole 1111 on the bottom plate 111 to communicate with the lower liquid inlet of the pump body 20.

[0101] The reflux structure 320 includes a reflux pipe 321. The head end of the reflux pipe 321 is connected to the second through hole 1131 on the movable plate 113 to communicate with the upper liquid outlet of the pump body 20; its tail end is connected to the top area of the box body 310 to communicate with the internal liquid path of the box body 310.

[0102] During testing, the liquid in the box body 310 flows out from the bottom inlet flow pipe 331, sequentially flows through the inlet flow pipe 331, the first opening 1112, the upper liquid outlet of the pump body 20, the pump body 20, the lower liquid inlet of the pump body 20, the second opening 1132, the reflux pipe 321, and flows back into the box body 310 from the top of the box body 310.

[0103] Optionally, the head end of the inlet flow pipe 331 is connected to the bottom plate 111 by a screw fastening connection method. Optionally, the head end of the reflux pipe 321 is connected to the movable plate 113 by a screw fastening connection method.

[0104] (1) For the reflux structure 320 (i.e., the U-shaped reflux structure 320 of the liquid tank reflux pipe 321):

[0105] The design of the reflux pipe 321 (the pipe flowing out of the pump body 20 and flowing back to the box body 310) of the existing water passing performance test equipment: The reflux pipe 321 of the existing equipment first extends horizontally above the liquid tank, and then bends and vertically inserts into the box body 310. The pipe is in a vertical state, and the flow meter 322 is designed at the horizontal section of the reflux pipe 321 on the top of the liquid tank. This design causes the water in the pipe to easily be in an under-filled state, and its defects not only make the measured value of the flow meter 322 distorted, but also cause abnormal noise to easily occur due to the change of the valve angle state on the pipe during the water passing test.

[0106] To solve the above problems, a U-shaped reflux structure 320 of the liquid tank reflux pipe is provided:

[0107] The reflux structure 320 includes a reflux pipe 321 and a flowmeter 322 for detecting the flow rate in the reflux pipe 321. The head end of the reflux pipe 321 is connected to the second through hole 1131 on the movable plate 113 to communicate with the upper liquid outlet of the pump body 20. Its tail end is communicated with the top area of the box body 310 to communicate with the internal liquid path of the box body 310. Along the direction from the head end to the tail end of the reflux pipe 321, the reflux pipe 321 successively includes a head pipe section 3211, a horizontally arranged U-shaped pipe section, and a tail pipe section 3215. The U-shaped pipe section is horizontally arranged in a U shape above the box body 310. Along the direction from the head end to the tail end of the U-shaped pipe section, the U-shaped pipe section successively includes a first sub-section 3212, a U-shaped bend section 3213, and a second sub-section 3214. The flowmeter 322 is arranged at the U-shaped bend section 3213, and the height of the U-shaped bend section 3213 is lower than the heights of the first sub-section 3212 and the second sub-section 3214. The tail end of the head pipe section 3211 is connected to the first sub-section 3212, and its head end is used to communicate with the upper liquid outlet of the pump body 20. The head end of the tail pipe section 3215 is connected to the second sub-section 3214, and its tail end is used to communicate with the top area of the box body 310.

[0108] In this application, the reflux pipe 321 is designed to form a U-shaped structure, and the U-shaped bend section 3213 where the flowmeter 322 is designed and installed is at a low position. The function of the designed U-shaped bend section 3213 is similar to that of a "water seal bend". Through the U-shaped structure design and low position design at the U-shaped bend section 3213, water is stored in the U-shaped bend section 3213 to ensure that the pipes before and after the flowmeter 322 are full of water, improving the accuracy of the flowmeter 322. With such a structural design, the defect that the liquid in the pipe is not full can be overcome, making the test value of the flowmeter 322 installed on the top of the reflux pipe 321 more accurate, and also making it less likely that abnormal noises are caused by changes in the angle state of the valve on the pipe during the water passing test.

[0109] In order to make the height of the U-shaped bend section 3213 lower than the heights of the first sub-section 3212 and the second sub-section 3214, so that the U-shaped bend section 3213 forms a water seal bend, this application provides the following two implementation manners:

[0110] The first one (as shown in Figure 3 the embodiment):

[0111] Optionally, the first sub-segment 3212, the U-shaped bend segment 3213, and the second sub-segment 3214 are all horizontally arranged above the box body 310; wherein, the height difference between the first sub-segment 3212 and the U-shaped bend segment 3213 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the U-shaped pipe segment, so that a height drop is formed at the connection between the first sub-segment 3212 and the U-shaped bend segment 3213; the height difference between the second sub-segment 3214 and the U-shaped bend segment 3213 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the U-shaped pipe segment, so that a height drop is formed at the connection between the second sub-segment 3214 and the U-shaped bend segment 3213.

[0112] The second one (not shown in the figure):

[0113] Optionally, along the direction gradually approaching the U-shaped bend segment 3213, the U-shaped pipe segment is arranged to slope downward, so that the height of the U-shaped bend segment 3213 is lower than the heights of the first sub-segment 3212 and the second sub-segment 3214.

[0114] In addition:

[0115] Optionally, along the direction from the head end to the tail end of the head pipe segment 3211, the head pipe segment 3211 extends upward from bottom to top, so that it is used to communicate with the upper liquid outlet of the pump body 20, and its tail end is connected to the first sub-segment 3212; along the direction from the head end to the tail end of the tail pipe segment 3215, the tail pipe segment 3215 extends downward from top to bottom, so that its head end is connected to the second sub-segment 3214, and its tail end is used to communicate with the top area of the box body 310.

[0116] Optionally, the middle section of the return pipe 321 is connected by an internal hose 326. Optionally, the middle of the first sub-segment 3212 is connected by an internal hose 326. Optionally, the internal hose 326 is a steel wire hose.

[0117] An internal hose 326 is arranged in the pipe wall of the return pipe 321 to enhance its pressure resistance performance (similar to the design of an explosion-proof tire) and movable performance. This internal hose 326 cooperates with the movement of the movable plate 113. When the movable plate 113 rises, it drives the internal hose 326 to rise, and the same is true for the descent; the connection by the internal hose 326 is used to support the realization of the up and down telescopic displacement movement of the water outlet pipe. In this embodiment, the steel wire hose is connected in the return pipe 321 by a flange structure, and other connection methods can also be adaptively adopted.

[0118] Optionally, a first automatic valve 323 is further provided at the second sub-segment 3214; wherein, the first automatic valve 323 is electrically connected to the control system, so that the control system controls the opening and closing of the first automatic valve 323.

[0119] A first automatic valve 323 is provided to control the opening and closing of the return pipe 321. By controlling the first automatic valve 323 through the control system, three state functions of the valve, namely fully open, fully closed, and half open, can be realized. Moreover, the function of setting the opening state of the valve at any angle can also be achieved, realizing the automated control of the flow path.

[0120] Optionally, the flowmeter 322 is arranged on one side of the U-shaped bend section 3213 close to the first sub-section 3212. Optionally, the detection site of the flowmeter 322 is 150 - 200 mm away from the bottom surface of the pipeline at its location. Optionally, the installation site of the first automatic valve 323 is 150 - 200 mm away from the end (water outlet) of the second sub-section 3214. Optionally, both ends of the first automatic valve 323 are connected to the second sub-section 3214 through a flange structure.

[0121] (2) For the inflow structure 330

[0122] The inflow structure 330 includes an inflow pipe 331. The head end of the inflow pipe 331 is connected to the bottom area of the box body 310 to communicate with the internal liquid path of the box body 310; its tail end is connected to the first through hole 1111 on the bottom plate 111 to communicate with the lower liquid inlet of the pump body 20.

[0123] Optionally, a second automatic valve 332 is further provided at the head end of the inflow pipe 331; wherein, the second automatic valve 332 is electrically connected to the control system so that the control system controls the opening and closing of the second automatic valve 332.

[0124] A second automatic valve 332 is provided to control the opening and closing of the inflow pipe 331. By controlling the second automatic valve 332 through the control system, three state functions of the valve, namely fully open, fully closed, and half open, can be realized. Moreover, the function of setting the opening state of the valve at any angle can also be achieved, realizing the automated control of the flow path.

[0125] Optionally, the head end of the inflow pipe 331 is connected to the box body 310 by means of screw fastening, and its tail end is also connected to the bottom plate 111 by means of screw fastening connection.

[0126] (3) Box body 310

[0127] There are defects in the liquid tank design of the existing water passing performance test equipment:

[0128] The bottom surface of the existing equipment box body 310 is in a horizontal flat bottom state, and there is no filter screen at the pipeline water outlet of the box body 310. As a result, foreign matters generated during actual use and iron filings generated in the pump body 20 will flow into the box body 310, polluting the water quality, thereby affecting the performance test of the pump, and causing the need for frequent maintenance and water replacement operations in actual applications, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0129] To solve the above problems:

[0130] Optionally, a V-shaped plate 311 is provided on the bottom surface of the box body 310; the V-shaped plate 311 includes two sub-plates; along the direction from both sides of the box body 310 to the middle thereof, the two sub-plates incline downward and are connected to each other in the middle to form the V-shaped plate 311.

[0131] With such a design, the defect that it is difficult to clean foreign matters and iron filings in the bottom of the flat-bottom box can be overcome, providing a convenient and comfortable method for actual use and maintenance.

[0132] Optionally, in the area below the tail end of the return pipe 321, an opening is provided at the top of the box body 310, and an inclined plate 312 that inclines downward is provided at the opening. The inclined plate 312 does not completely close the opening to leave a gap.

[0133] Among them, the liquid flowing out of the return pipe 321 is guided by the inclined plate 312 and flows into the box body 310. With such a design, the violent impact of the water flow on the box body 310 can be avoided.

[0134] Optionally, a liquid level sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided in the box body 310, and the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the control system. Optionally, a water level observation scale (not shown in the figure) is provided on the back surface of the box body 310.

[0135] When the liquid level sensor senses a lack of liquid, liquid feeding is performed. For example, the box body 310 is provided with a liquid supplement connecting pipe. After the control system receives the information from the liquid level sensor, it controls the automatic valve of the liquid supplement connecting pipe to open to supplement liquid from an external source into the box body 310; or, the control system controls the water pump 430 to pump the liquid in the recovery tank 410 into the box body 310.

[0136] Optionally, the height difference between the liquid level in the box body 310 and the height of the pump body 20 (i.e., the hot water circulation pump to be tested) after feeding is set to be greater than 1 m (referring to the maximum height difference between the height of the pump body 20 and the liquid level in the water tank is greater than 1 m).

[0137] Using the built-in program and parameter design of the control system, it is designed that when the liquid level height in the box body 310 is 1 m lower than the pump body 20 after feeding, the above-mentioned liquid supplement program is started. By designing the height difference between the two and using the principle of water pressure difference, the air gap noise generated in the pipeline during the water passing test is reduced.

[0138] 3. Recovery device

[0139] Optionally, the recovery device includes a recovery tank 410 located below the quick automatic clamping device 100; a branch drain pipe 333 is provided on the inlet flow pipe 331, wherein one end of the branch drain pipe 333 is connected to the inlet flow pipe 331, and the other end thereof is a drain port; the drain port is in liquid communication with the recovery tank 410, and a valve is provided on the branch drain pipe 333; optionally, a third automatic valve 334 is provided on the branch drain pipe 333; the third automatic valve 334 is electrically connected to the control system so that the control system controls the opening and closing of the third automatic valve 334.

[0140] Optionally, one end of the branch drain pipe 333 is connected to the inlet flow pipe 331, and the other end thereof extends and is arranged above the recovery tank 410 so that the drain port of the branch drain is in liquid communication with the recovery tank 410.

[0141] After the test is completed, the branch drain pipe 333 is opened by opening the third automatic valve 334, and the second automatic valve 332 is closed, so that the residual liquid in the flow path of the return pipe 321, the pump body 20, and the inlet flow pipe 331 is discharged into the recovery tank 410 through the branch drain pipe 333, which is convenient for recovery and reuse.

[0142] It should be noted that:

[0143] The "liquid path connection" described in this article does not mean that the entire flow path needs to be connected by fixed pipes to form a connected flow path, but also includes forming an open flow path by using the action of gravity to connect the liquids. For example, the liquid flow at the drain port of the branch drain pipe 333 falls into the recovery tank 410 by gravity. Although there is no pipeline connection between the two, a liquid path connection is also formed.

[0144] In addition, there are defects in the design of the inlet and outlet water control of the existing water passing performance test equipment:

[0145] The valves on the pipelines of the existing equipment rely entirely on manual switching operations. Especially after the test is completed, the residual water in the pump body 20 and the pipeline is easy to flow to the ground or requires manual reception with a container and pouring it back into the box body 310. Defects such as low automation level increase the operation intensity of workers, are time-consuming and laborious, and increase the production cost.

[0146] The first automatic valve 323, the second automatic valve 332, and the third automatic valve 334 of the present application adopt electric valves; by controlling the automatic valves through the control system, the three state functions of automatic full opening, full closing, and half opening of the valves can be realized, and the function of setting the opening state of the valves at any angle can also be realized. Setting the above automatic valves can automatically control the opening and closing of the pipeline and realize functions such as automatic control of the water inlet and drainage of the equipment. In addition, optionally, the first automatic valve 323, the second automatic valve 332, and the third automatic valve 334 can be installed on the pipeline by flange plate type screw fastening.

[0147] Optionally, the recovery tank 410 is connected to the upper part of the box body 310 through a recovery pipe 420, and a water pump 430 is provided on the recovery pipe 420; the water pump 430 is electrically connected to the control system.

[0148] During use, the water pump 430 pumps the water flow in the recovery tank 410 back into the box body 310 for recycling.

[0149] Optionally, a support cover plate (not shown in the figure) is provided at the upper opening of the recovery tank 410;

[0150] The support cover plate can block foreign objects, sundries, dust, etc. from falling into the recovery tank 410.

[0151] Optionally, a liquid level sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided in the recovery tank 410.

[0152] When the liquid level sensor senses water, the control system triggers the start of the water pump 430 to pump the water back into the box body 310.

[0153] Optionally, the recovery tank 410 is fixed below the quick automatic clamping device 100 by welding.

[0154] 4. For the filtering structure

[0155] Optionally, a first mesh filtering structure 325 is provided at the tail end of the return pipe 321, so that after the fluid flows out of the return pipe 321 and is filtered by the first mesh filtering structure 325, it flows into the box body 310.

[0156] Optionally, a second mesh filtering structure 335 is provided at the drain outlet of the branch drain pipe 333, so that after the fluid flows out of the branch drain pipe 333 and is filtered by the second mesh filtering structure 335, it flows into the recovery tank 410.

[0157] The above filtering structure of the present application is designed in cooperation with the V-shaped plate 311 of the box body 310, overcoming the defects of rust oxide in the product pump body 20 polluting the water quality of the water tank and interfering with the product test noise, and at the same time overcoming and solving the defect of difficult maintenance, making it more convenient and reassuring to use.

[0158] 5. For the air blowing and drying function device

[0159] The air blowing and drying function device includes a gas source and a gas communication pipeline;

[0160] Optionally, a quick connector 324 for connecting with the gas communication pipeline is provided at the bent portion of the U-shaped bend section 3213, and a switch member for opening and closing the quick connector 324 is provided on the quick connector 324.

[0161] After the test, operate the first automatic valve 323 and the second automatic valve 332 to close, open the third automatic valve 334, connect one end of the gas connection pipe to the gas source and the other end to the quick connector 324. Open the switch of the quick connector 324, and purge through the pressure gas source entering from the U-shaped bend section 3213. Under the action of gas pressure, the residual liquid in the reflux structure 320, the inflow structure 330 and the pump body 20 is accelerated to be discharged from the branch drain pipe 333 to the recovery tank 410.

[0162] By configuring a blowing and drying function on the U-shaped bend section 3213, the drying time can be custom-set. On the one hand, the residual liquid is recycled and used. On the other hand, the residual water can be quickly and effectively dried, so that the pump products passing the test can be packaged and sold, overcoming the defect that the pump head of the product is prone to residual water after the water passing test, and saving the labor cost and time for drying.

[0163] It should be noted that:

[0164] In this embodiment, the gas source can be supplied by an air compressor, or can be provided by other gas source generation supply paths such as a compressed air pipeline; the switch on the quick connector 324 is an electromagnetic valve electrically connected to the control system. The quick connector 324 (blowing point) is threadedly installed between the first automatic valve 323 and the flowmeter 322. The on-off of the blowing is controlled by the control system to control the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve. The control system and the electromagnetic valve cooperate to customize functions such as blowing duration, interval, and blowing size adjustment.

[0165] The gas source and the gas connection pipe of the blowing and drying function device are not the main body structure of this testing machine. It can adopt a temporary external device, that is, it can be temporarily externally connected to a gas source during operation (usually, manufacturing factories are equipped with air compressors or compressed air pipelines, etc., which can be used as independent external devices for generating gas sources). This testing machine only needs to be equipped with a quick connector 324 with a switch, and this function can be realized by externally connecting a gas source through the quick connector 324 during use.

[0166] In addition, the control system is an existing technology. For example, a PLC controller can be used. It has a programmable memory for storing internal programs, executing user-oriented instructions such as logical operations, sequential control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations, and controlling various types of machinery or production processes through digital or analog input / output. It is an existing technology and will not be elaborated here. The working principle of the automatic valve, the water pump 430, various sensors cooperating with the control system for signal reception - information processing - feedback is also an existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0167] In addition, this application also provides an operation example of the water passing performance testing machine (there are two method steps for the automatic mode and the manual mode of the water passing performance testing machine):

[0168] The steps of the water passing performance test method in automatic mode are as follows:

[0169] ① Manually load the water pump product (i.e., the flange-type hot water circulation pump) into the bowl-shaped flange 130 of the fast automatic clamping device 100;

[0170] ② Press the one-key button to start the lifting drive mechanism 120 of the loading support device, and raise the loading support device to hold the product (if there is a designed loading support device, this step is adopted; otherwise, it is not);
