Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline valves of aircraft environmental control systems, in particular to a durability testing device for pipeline valves. Background Art

[0002] The aircraft environmental control system is one of the important onboard systems of an aircraft. Among them, the duct valve is an important component of the aircraft environmental control system. It is used to cut off or circulate high-temperature and high-pressure gas, thereby controlling the flow of bleed air and achieving the goal of controlling the cabin temperature.

[0003] Duct valves are installed in large numbers on aircraft, covering a wide range of subsystems, including refrigeration and ventilation. Furthermore, some of these valves circulate high-temperature, high-pressure gases. Consequently, these valves are subject to high reliability requirements. The valve durability test equipment must complete tens of thousands of cycles of shutting off and circulating high-temperature, high-pressure gases to ensure the valves are tested under load.

[0004] Existing duct valve durability testing equipment often applies a control signal to the duct valve's control mechanism. The valve's inlet and outlet are either not connected to the air supply pipeline, or the valve's inlet and outlet are connected to the air supply pipeline. To prevent damage to the electric furnace in the test pipeline caused by high-temperature, high-pressure gas when the valve is closed, the air supply in the pipeline is room temperature. This disadvantage is that the durability test cannot replicate the duct valve's operating conditions on an aircraft, failing to meet the durability test requirement of shutting off and circulating high-temperature, high-pressure gas tens of thousands of times over its life cycle, thus failing to fully verify the duct valve's reliability.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Example 1. A durability test device for pipeline valves, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a main pipeline assembly, a bypass pipeline assembly and a control cabinet. The main pipeline assembly includes a main pipeline front section 1, a pipeline valve 2, a main pipeline rear section 3, and a main regulating valve 4. The bypass pipeline assembly includes a bypass pipeline front section 9, a bypass control valve 8, a bypass pipeline rear section 7 and a bypass regulating valve 6, wherein:

[0023] The main pipeline assembly and the bypass pipeline assembly are connected by flanges; the main pipeline front section 1 and the main pipeline rear section 3 are connected to the two ends of the pipeline valve 2 through V-shaped clamps; the other end of the main pipeline rear section 3 is connected to the main regulating valve 4 through a flange; the bypass pipeline front section 9 and the bypass pipeline rear section 7 are connected to the two ends of the bypass control valve 8 through flanges; the other end of the bypass pipeline rear section 7 is connected to the bypass regulating valve 6 through a flange; the control cabinet 5 is connected to the pipeline valve 2 and the bypass control valve 8 through an electrical connector.

[0024] Preferably, Figure 4 As shown, the control cabinet 5 sends a command signal to open the pipeline valve 2 on the main pipeline and close the bypass control valve 8 on the bypass pipeline. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas is discharged from the main pipeline. By adjusting the opening of the main regulating valve 4, the gas pressure in the main pipeline reaches the required pressure tolerance range, and finally the circulation of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the main pipeline is completed.

[0025] Among them, after the pipeline valve 2 on the main pipeline is fully opened and the bypass control valve 8 on the bypass pipeline is fully closed, the two valves need to maintain this state for a period of time so that the gas pressure and temperature in the main pipeline can reach stability, so as to fully assess the opening state of the pipeline valve 2.

[0026] Furthermore, after the high temperature and high pressure gas circulation is completed, Figure 5As shown, the control cabinet 5 sends a command signal again to open the pipeline valve 2 on the main pipeline and close the bypass control valve 8 on the bypass pipeline. The gas that should have been discharged from the main pipeline cannot be discharged from the main pipeline due to the closure of the pipeline valve, and enters the bypass pipeline and is discharged from the bypass. Moreover, by adjusting the opening of the bypass regulating valve 6, the residual gas pressure in the main pipeline can also reach the required pressure tolerance range, thereby completing the cutting off of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the main pipeline.

[0027] Preferably, after the pipeline valve 2 on the main pipeline is fully closed and the bypass control valve 8 on the bypass pipeline is fully opened, the two valves need to maintain this state for a period of time so that the gas pressure and temperature in the main pipeline can reach stability, so as to fully assess the closing state of the pipeline valve.

[0028] Preferably, when the pipeline valve 2 on the main pipeline is gradually closed, the bypass control valve 8 on the bypass pipeline is gradually opened, which can prevent the electric furnace from accumulating high-temperature and high-pressure gas at the gas source and being unable to be discharged, thereby damaging the electric furnace.

[0029] Preferably, after the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the main pipeline is cut off, the pipeline valve 2 completes a switching cycle, and the control cabinet 5 continues to send control signals to drive the pipeline valve 2 and the bypass control valve 8 to open and close, and this cycle is repeated to achieve the cutting off and circulation of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the main pipeline, and complete the switching cycle of the pipeline valve 2.
