Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sealing performance testing, in particular to a pipeline or valve hydraulic sealing performance testing device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of engineering material testing, pipeline hydraulic sealing performance testing is a critical task used to evaluate the sealing performance of pipelines and fittings. Before conducting hydraulic and hydraulic tests on stainless steel pipes, fittings, valves, and ductile iron pipes, samples must be processed and prepared.

[0003] Traditional methods for testing the hydraulic seals of various engineering materials are complex and require the pipe sample to be sealed at both ends individually, then connected to a hydrostatic testing machine for the final hydraulic seal test. This excessive number of steps results in high processing costs and reduced testing efficiency.

[0004] The Chinese patent with application date of 2021-09-15 and application number CN202122236518.3 discloses a pressure test fixture for pipe fittings, which seals and fixes the tested pipe fittings through a sealing end plate and a second fixed plate, connects a hydrostatic testing machine to the sealing end plate, and pressurizes the tested pipe fittings through the sealing end plate, thereby performing a pressure test on the pipe fittings. When testing multiple tested pipe fittings, it is only necessary to drive the movable plate to move through a telescopic device to replace the tested pipe fittings or seal the tested pipe fittings, which reduces the test steps and improves the efficiency of the test. However, this pressure test fixture still has the following defects:

[0005] 1. When testing pipe fittings with larger diameters, it is necessary to tighten the movable plate using multiple screws on the periphery of the movable plate. During the tightening operation, it is necessary to use a torque wrench to tighten the nuts on the multiple screws on the second fixed plate, which results in cumbersome operation and low efficiency.

[0006] 2. The sealing end plate structure it adopts is suitable for water pressure sealing test of certain valves, because the adjusting hand wheel on the valve may interfere with the movable plate or the second fixed plate and cannot be installed.

[0007] Based on this, the present application develops a pipeline or valve hydraulic sealing performance testing device suitable for water pressure sealing tests on pipelines or valves of different diameters, which has the advantages of simple operation and high testing efficiency.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] This embodiment provides a pipeline or valve hydraulic sealing performance test device, as shown in the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, it includes a bottom plate 1, a top plate 2, a guide column 3, a movable plate 4, a hydraulic cylinder 5, a sealing end plate 6, a hollow hydraulic cylinder 7, an annular plate 8, a pull rod 9 and a bracket 10, wherein:

[0035] The top plate 2 is supported above the bottom plate 1 by a plurality of guide columns 3; the bracket 10 includes a support beam 10.1 provided on both sides of the bottom plate 1 and a plurality of struts 10.2 with one end fixedly connected to the support beam 10.1 and the other end fixedly connected to the top plate 2. The bracket can increase the connection stability between the top plate and the bottom plate; the movable plate 4 is movably provided on the guide column 3 and can move up and down along the direction of the guide column; the hydraulic cylinder 5 is provided on the bottom plate 1 and can control the movable plate to move up and down along the direction of the guide column; there are two sealing end plates 6, which are respectively installed on the movable plate 4 and the top plate 2, and are used to seal the two ends of the pipe or valve for water pressure test.

[0036] Specifically, as attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the movable plate 4 and top plate 2 are respectively provided with a water hole and an exhaust hole at their centers. A header 11 is provided at the bottom of the movable plate 4, located at the water hole. A water inlet 11.1 is provided on the side of the header 11. A valve switch 12 for exhaust is provided on the side of the exhaust hole away from the sealed end plate 6. During a hydraulic pressure test, water enters through the header's water inlet, passes through the movable plate's water hole and the sealed end plate thereon, and enters the pipe or valve. Air within the pipe or valve is discharged from the valve through the sealed end plate and the exhaust hole on the top plate as water is injected. After the air is discharged, the valve is closed. Preferably, a recess 11.2 for positioning the hydraulic cylinder is provided on the header 11, allowing the hydraulic cylinder to accurately act on the center of the movable plate to ensure uniform force.

[0037] The hollow hydraulic cylinder 7 is fixedly mounted on the top plate 2; the annular plate 8 is connected to the ejector rod of the hollow hydraulic cylinder 7; a plurality of pull rods 9 are mounted in an annular array on the annular plate 8, one end of which is fixedly connected to the annular plate 8, and the other end passes through the through holes on the top plate 2 and the movable plate 4 and is screwed to the nut.

[0038] For large-diameter pipes or valves, the size of the hydraulic cylinder makes it difficult to ensure the peripheral sealing of the pipe or valve during a hydrostatic test. Therefore, it is necessary to use a pull rod to tighten the movable plate to ensure the sealing of the pipe or valve during the hydrostatic test. This embodiment provides a hollow hydraulic cylinder and annular plate on the top plate. The hollow hydraulic cylinder controls the annular plate to achieve synchronous pulling of multiple pull rods, ensuring the sealing of the pipe or valve edge during the hydrostatic test of large-diameter pipes or valves. Compared with the traditional method of manually tightening bolts one by one, this method is not only simple to operate, but also greatly improves testing efficiency.

[0039] Preferably, as attached Figure 3 To the attached Figure 5As shown, the sealing end plate 6 includes a disc-type sealing end plate 6A for pipeline sealing and a column-type sealing end plate 6B for sealing the valve 100; wherein: the disc-type sealing end plate 6A is provided with an inner sealing groove and an outer sealing groove, and the inner sealing groove and the outer sealing groove are respectively provided with an inner sealing ring 6A.1 and an outer sealing ring 6A.2, which are respectively used to seal the small-diameter pipeline and the large-diameter pipeline matched therewith, wherein the inner sealing ring 6A.1 is screwed to the through hole of the sealing end plate through a hollow bolt 13 and pressed against the sealing end plate; similarly, a sealing groove is provided on the column-type sealing end plate 6B, and a sealing gasket 6B.1 is provided in the sealing groove, and the sealing gasket is screwed to the through hole of the sealing end plate through a hollow bolt 13 and pressed against the sealing end plate; the upper surface of the sealing gasket 6B.1 protrudes from the column-type sealing end plate.

[0040] When conducting a water pressure test on a pipe or valve, select the corresponding disc seal end plate or column seal end plate; the specific operation is as follows:

[0041] 1. Place the pipe or valve on the sealing end plate of the movable plate;

[0042] 2. Control the hydraulic cylinder to lift the movable plate so that both ends of the pipeline are sealed through the sealing end plates;

[0043] 3. For large diameter pipes, it is necessary to control the hollow hydraulic cylinder to lift the annular plate and use multiple tie rods to tighten the movable plate. It is worth noting that for small diameter pipes or valves, multiple tie rods can also be used to tighten the movable plate to increase the safety of the test process.

[0044] 4. Connect the water inlet of the device to the hydrostatic testing machine through a connecting pipe;

[0045] 5. Open the valve and inject water into the pipe or valve. After the air in the pipe or valve is exhausted, close the valve.

[0046] 6. Conduct water pressure test.

[0047] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
