Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a valve leak detection device. Background Art

[0002] After the valve is produced, leak detection needs to be carried out. At present, the general process of valve leak detection is that the staff connects one end of the valve to an air pump and then immerses it in a water tank.

[0003] However, the above valve leak detection method has some defects. One is that the valve after detection needs to be additionally dried, which is rather cumbersome. The other is that when the valve is turned over in the water tank, the air originally covered by the valve will escape and form bubbles, which will affect the observation and easily cause misjudgment to the staff.

[0027] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 , according to an embodiment of a valve leak detection device of the present utility model, including

[0028] A valve leak detection device includes a test bench 11. A test slot 12 is provided inside the upper side of the test bench 11, and a valve can be placed in the test slot 12 for airtightness testing with the valve closed.

[0029] A clamping device for pressing the valve is provided in the test slot 12. The clamping device includes two closing plates 13. The right closing plate 13 is fixed to the right side surface of the test slot 12. A cylinder 14 is installed on the test bench 11. The end of the piston rod extending out of the cylinder 14 is connected to the left closing plate 13 through an installation assembly.

[0030] It further includes a leak detection mechanism. The leak detection mechanism includes a pressure sensing groove 15 provided in the right side surface of the test slot 12. A pressure sensor is provided in the pressure sensing groove 15. A first ventilation hole that penetrates left and right and communicates with the pressure sensing groove 15 is provided in the right closing plate 13.

[0031] It further includes a gas supply device for supplying gas to the valve clamped by the clamping device.

[0032] Specifically, after the valve is placed in the test slot 12 and its position is locked left and right by the two closing plates 13, the gas supply mechanism supplies gas into the valve. If the valve leaks, the air flow will enter the pressure sensing groove 15 through the first ventilation hole and be sensed by the pressure sensor. At this time, the alarm device in the test bench 11 will give an alarm. In this embodiment, the alarm device is a buzzer.

[0033] In order to achieve sealing and prevent air from escaping between the closing plate 13 and the flange in the valve, sealing rings 41 are installed on the side surfaces of the two closing plates 13 that are close to each other.

[0034] In this embodiment, the installation assembly includes a fixed disk 16 provided at the end of the piston rod. Taking the axis of the fixed disk 16 as the center, no less than three fixed rods are equiangularly installed on the right side surface of the fixed disk 16. The ends of the fixed rods are connected together to the left closing plate 13.

[0035] The gas supply device includes a piston cylinder 21. A piston is provided in the piston cylinder 21. A piston rod extending outside the piston cylinder 21 is installed on the piston. A crank-slider mechanism for driving the piston rod to move left and right is provided in the test slot 12. A second ventilation hole that penetrates left and right is provided in the left closing plate 13. The air outlet in the piston cylinder 21 is connected to the second ventilation hole through a trachea 22.

[0036] The crank-slider mechanism includes a turntable 31. A motor 32 for controlling the rotation of the turntable 31 is installed in the test bench 11. A convex column 33 is installed on the front side surface of the turntable 31. A connecting rod 34 is rotatably connected to the outside of the convex column 33. The end of the connecting rod 34 is hinged to the piston rod.

[0037] When the motor 32 is energized, it will drive the turntable 31 to rotate, and then through the connecting rod 34, the piston rod will move left and right. When the piston rod originally at the leftmost side moves to the rightmost side, the air pressed into the valve reaches the maximum, and the air pressure in the valve reaches the maximum. At this time, its sealing performance can be tested.

[0038] In the second embodiment of the valve leak detection device, in order to make the maximum test air pressure adjustable, a chute 35 is provided in the turntable 31. A slider 36 is slidably connected in the chute 35, and the convex column 33 is mounted on the slider 36. And a positioning mechanism for adjusting the position of the slider 36 is provided in the turntable 31. In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a threaded shaft 37 rotatably connected in the chute 35 and threadedly connected to the slider 36. The threaded shaft 37 faces the axis of the turntable 31, and a knob is mounted at the end of the threaded shaft 37.

[0039] That is, the farther the slider 36 is from the axis of the turntable 31, the greater the stroke of the turntable 31 rotating half a week and the convex column 33 and the piston moving from the leftmost to the rightmost. When testing the valve, the greater the air pressure applied to the valve. The staff can control the air pressure during the seal test of the valve by turning the knob.

[0040] Specific test process:

[0041] First, the staff adjusts the positions of the slider 36 and the convex column 33 according to the valve size. Then, when testing is to be carried out, the staff places the valve in the test slot 12, and the air cylinder 14 controls the fixed disk 16 and the left closing plate 13 to move to the right until the valve is clamped between the two closing plates 13. Then the motor 32 controls the turntable 31 to rotate half a week. At this time, the piston moves from the leftmost side to the rightmost side, and the air in the piston cylinder 21 will be injected into the valve clamped by the closing plate 13 through the air pipe 22. If the airtightness of the valve is poor in the closed state, the pressure sensor in the pressure sensing groove 15 will cause the alarm device to alarm.

[0042] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention are covered by the patent scope of the present invention.
