Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum valve testing, in particular to a vacuum valve sealing testing device. Background Art
[0002] A vacuum valve is a valve specially designed for use in vacuum systems. Its main feature is that its working pressure is lower than standard atmospheric pressure. A vacuum valve is a valve used to change the direction of airflow, adjust the amount of airflow, and cut off or connect pipelines in a vacuum system. Its working pressure is lower than standard atmospheric pressure and it is usually used to achieve pressure control within the system. There are many types of vacuum valves, including electromagnetic vacuum valves, manual vacuum valves, automatic control vacuum valves, etc. According to different working principles and application requirements, the design and material selection of vacuum valves are also different.
[0003] In the current field of vacuum technology, vacuum valves are key components in vacuum systems, and the reliability of their performance is crucial to the stable operation of the entire system. However, in actual application, vacuum valves may leak. Once a leak occurs inside the vacuum valve, it will directly affect the air pressure stability of the entire vacuum system, which may in turn trigger a series of negative effects. Specifically, when a vacuum valve leaks, it will cause the air pressure inside the vacuum system to fluctuate. This change in air pressure will not only affect the system's working efficiency, but may also affect some precision equipment or experimental results inside the system. Continuous air pressure fluctuations may even cause structural damage to the vacuum system, thereby shortening its service life and increasing costs. Utility Model Content

[0026] The detection chamber 201 provides a closed testing environment for leak testing. The infrared thermal imager 202 can non-contactly monitor the temperature distribution within the detection chamber 201, accurately capturing temperature changes caused by gas leaks, improving the accuracy and efficiency of detection. The heating wire 204 heats the gas in the test chamber, helping to detect tiny leaks through the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, thereby enhancing detection sensitivity. The first temperature detector 205 is used to measure the initial temperature within the detection chamber 201, and the second temperature detector 206 is used to monitor temperature changes during the test. By comparing the data with the data from the first temperature detector 205, the location and extent of the gas leak can be accurately determined.
[0027] The docking mechanism 3 includes a mounting rod 301, a gas rod body 302, a docking seat 303, a pipe support rod 304, a pipe mounting ring 305, an inflation pipe 306, a docking sleeve 307, a first connecting pipe seat 308, an air inlet pipe 309, an air outlet pipe 310, a second connecting pipe seat 311 and a sealing plug 312. The upper end of the detection chamber 201 is fixedly mounted with the mounting rod 301, the gas rod body 302 is fixedly mounted on the mounting rod 301, the lower end of the gas rod body 302 is fixedly connected to the docking seat 303, the lower end of the docking seat 303 is fixedly mounted with the pipe support rod 304, and the pipe A pipe mounting ring 305 is fixedly mounted on one end of the support rod 304 away from the docking seat 303. An inflation pipe 306 is mounted on the inner side of the pipe mounting ring 305. The right end of the inflation pipe 306 is fixedly connected to a docking sleeve 307. The inner side of the docking sleeve 307 is threadedly connected to a first pipe seat 308. The first pipe seat 308 is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 309. An air outlet pipe 310 is fixedly mounted on the right end of the vacuum valve body 1. The right end of the air outlet pipe 310 is fixedly connected to a second pipe seat 311. The outer side of the second pipe seat 311 is threadedly connected to a sealing plug 312.
[0028] The mounting rod 301 provides a stable support for the docking mechanism 3, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the entire docking process. The gas rod body 302 achieves precise movement of the docking seat 303 by pushing downward, ensuring the effective docking of the vacuum valve body 1 and the detection chamber 201. The pipe support rod 304 provides additional support, ensuring that the inflation pipe 306 and the pipe mounting ring 305 remain stable during the connection process, avoiding leakage caused by vibration or displacement. The inflation pipe 306 provides the necessary gas channel for testing, ensuring that the gas can be evenly and effectively filled into the detection chamber 201, providing basic conditions for testing. The sealing plug 312 is rotatably installed on the second connecting pipe seat 311, effectively blocking the outlet pipe 310, preventing gas leakage during the detection process, and ensuring the accuracy of the test.
[0029] After the air inlet pipe 306 is connected to the air inlet pipe 309, the air inlet pipe 306 is connected to the air inlet pipe 309, and the air inlet pipe 309 is connected to the air inlet pipe 309. The boundary inflation pump injects gas into the inflation pipe 306, so that the low-temperature gas is filled into the vacuum valve body 1. At the same time, the infrared thermal imager body 202, the first temperature detector 205 and the second temperature detector 206 monitor the temperature inside the detection chamber 201. If there is a problem with the sealing of the vacuum valve body 1, the low-temperature gas will leak out of the vacuum valve body 1, which will cause the temperature inside the detection chamber 201 to change, thereby judging the sealing of the vacuum valve body 1; in summary, the monitoring mechanism 2 and the docking mechanism 3 complement each other, using the infrared thermal imager body 202 to monitor the temperature, using the inflation pipe 306 to inject gas, and then cooperating with the warming structure to form a testing device, and judging the sealing performance by detecting the temperature change of the gas at the leak point. If there is a leak, the gas flow will cause the temperature change, thereby determining that the sealing of the vacuum valve is very intact, with high detection efficiency, and the temperature change can be quickly obtained, so as to quickly judge the sealing of the vacuum valve.
