Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valve detection, in particular to a three-way valve torque and air tightness testing device. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, valves are widely used in various fields, and their air tightness requirements are extremely high. Therefore, they need to be tested for air tightness before leaving the factory to ensure that the air tightness of the product is qualified. Patent No. CN202323217947.1 discloses an air tightness detection device for a three-way high-pressure valve, including an air tightness meter and a detection table, as well as a tightening frame mounted on the detection table, a tightening cylinder installed on the top of the tightening frame, and two tightening plugs suspended on the cylinder head of the tightening cylinder. A three-way valve fixture is provided on the detection table, which is directly opposite to the tightening plug. The bottom of the three-way valve fixture is provided with an air vent I and the side is provided with an air vent II, wherein the air vent I is directly opposite to the detection port and is sealed and docked. The three-way high-pressure valve is embedded in the three-way valve fixture, and the pressure relief port of the three-way high-pressure valve is directly opposite to the air vent II. During operation, place the three-way high-pressure valve 7 in the three-way valve fixture 6. Press the cylinder 4 downward, tightening the valve downward until the port with the single-connector is against the vent port I. The sealing ring seals this port, and the plug presses against the two upper ports, while the side plug presses against the pressure relief port. The upper and lower connectors of the three-way high-pressure valve are now sealed. The airtightness tester 1's inflating nozzle 12 inflates the valve. This inflated state remains in place for several seconds, and the pressure change on the airtightness tester 1 is observed over time. If the product is completely airtight, the pressure should remain constant; if there is a leak, the pressure will drop. This pressure change can be used to determine the sealing quality of the adapter and ensure product compliance. This device can only test when the valve is connected or disconnected. Switching the valve state requires manual rotation of the valve knob, which is inefficient. Therefore, the present invention provides a three-way valve torque and airtightness tester.
