[0020] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the specific implementation is as follows:

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a detection device for a lifting bow quick exhaust valve includes a box body 1 equipped with a docking mechanism and an electric control mechanism. The docking mechanism includes a placement tool 3 located on the top of the box body 1, a horizontal cylinder assembly, and a longitudinal cylinder assembly. The placement tool 3 is provided with a mounting groove 9 for accommodating a quick exhaust valve 4. The bottom surface of the mounting groove 9 is provided with an exhaust hole 10 for docking and communicating with the P-direction air port on the bottom surface of the quick exhaust valve 4. The side wall of the mounting groove 9 is provided with an opening for exposing the A-direction air port of the quick exhaust valve 4. Figure 2 As shown, the depth of the mounting groove 9 is smaller than the thickness of the quick exhaust valve 4, that is, the lower half of the quick exhaust valve 4 is adapted to be embedded in the mounting groove 9, and the A-direction air port of the quick exhaust valve 4 is penetrated through the side wall of the mounting groove 9, which is convenient for the A-direction air port to be connected.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the horizontal cylinder assembly includes an A-direction cylinder 5 capable of horizontal telescopic movement. A-direction cylinder 5 is a linear cylinder. The longitudinal cylinder assembly includes an R-direction cylinder 6 capable of vertical telescopic movement. R-direction cylinder 6 is a rotary downward pressure cylinder. After resetting, the rotary downward pressure cylinder can be moved to the outside of the quick exhaust valve 4 without affecting the vertical movement of the quick exhaust valve 300, facilitating the placement and removal of the quick exhaust valve 300.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an air intake fixture 7 is respectively installed on the telescopic rod of the A-direction cylinder 5 and the R-direction cylinder 6. The air intake fixture 7 is connected to an air intake pipe 8 and has an air outlet. The A-direction cylinder 5 can drive the air intake fixture 7 to move until the air outlet is connected to the A-direction air port on the side of the quick-exhaust valve 4, and the R-direction cylinder 6 can drive the air intake fixture 7 to move until the air outlet is connected to the R-direction air port on the top surface of the quick-exhaust valve 4. One end of the air intake fixture 7 has a tapered protruding portion 11, and the air outlet is located at the small end of the protruding portion 11. The large end of the protruding portion 11 is installed with a sealing ring 12. The protruding portion 11 can partially extend into the A-direction air port and the R-direction air port, and the sealing ring 12 is in contact with the top surface or side surface of the quick-exhaust valve 4 to ensure the airtightness inside the quick-exhaust valve 4.

[0024] like Figure 5As shown, the electronic control mechanism includes a controller and a main air source. The main air source is connected to the main air intake valve, which is respectively connected to the driving pressure regulating valve and the air intake pressure regulating valve. The driving pressure regulating valve is respectively connected to the A-direction cylinder valve and the R-direction cylinder valve, so that air can be supplied to the A-direction cylinder 5 and the R-direction cylinder 6 through the main air source. The air intake pressure regulating valve is respectively connected to the air intake ports of the A-direction air intake valve and the R-direction air intake valve. The A-direction air intake valve and the R-direction air intake valve are each provided with an exhaust port and an air outlet. The air outlets of the A-direction air intake valve and the R-direction air intake valve are respectively connected to the air intake pipes 8 of two air intake fixtures 7, so that air can be supplied to the A-direction air port and the R-direction air port through the main air source.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, a driving pressure gauge is installed on the driving pressure regulating valve, and an intake pressure gauge is installed on the intake pressure regulating valve. The controller can receive the pressure detection values ​​of the driving pressure gauge and the intake pressure gauge respectively. A control panel 2 is also provided on the top of the box body 1, and an operating screen is provided on the control panel 2 to display pressure-related values.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown by the dotted lines, the controller is electrically connected to the main intake valve, the drive pressure regulating valve, the intake pressure regulating valve, the A-direction intake valve, and the R-direction intake valve. During testing, the drive pressure regulating valve can be adjusted based on the docking pressure requirements of the A-direction cylinder 5 and the R-direction cylinder 6 to match the value on the drive pressure gauge with the required pressure. Similarly, the intake pressure regulating valve can be adjusted based on the pressure requirements of the A-direction and R-direction ports of the quick exhaust valve 4 to match the intake pressure with the required pressure. When the A-direction and R-direction intake valves lose power, their exhaust ports automatically exhaust and depressurize the corresponding ports, thereby discharging the compressed gas from the ports connected to them.

[0027] When starting the test, first preset the pressure holding time parameters, pressure relief time parameters and test number parameters on the operation screen; then click the corresponding test switch, such as the intermittent exhaust test switch or the intermittent pressure holding test switch, and the equipment will enter the automatic operation state; in addition, the manual test mode can also be used, and each valve needs to be manually triggered to control the corresponding switch.

[0028] The purpose of the intermittent exhaust test is to simulate the actual raising / lowering action of the lifting bow to test the rapid exhaust performance of the quick exhaust valve. Through multiple high-frequency cycle tests, the safety hazards of the safety quick exhaust valve are detected. During the test, it is necessary to observe whether the driving pressure gauge increases or decreases the pressure normally to determine whether the quick exhaust valve diaphragm is working normally. For example, when the R-direction intake valve loses power and exhausts the pressure for a preset time, the pressure in the upper chamber of the quick exhaust valve is lower than the pressure in the lower chamber of the quick exhaust valve. The quick exhaust valve diaphragm is compressed by the pressure in the lower chamber and bulges. The exhaust port of the lower chamber of the quick exhaust valve is opened to exhaust, and the pressure gauge index drops.

[0029] The intermittent pressure-holding test is primarily used to detect leaks in quick exhaust valves. It maintains pressure by disconnecting the main intake valve after inflation to assess the valve's pressure-holding performance. In this test mode, the intake pressure gauge is observed for leakage (pressure drop) after the air circuit is closed to determine pressure-holding performance.

[0030] The detection device of this embodiment can perform an intermittent exhaust test process and an intermittent pressure holding test process respectively. The two processes can be performed independently without any particular order. One or both detection processes can be selected according to the test requirements.
