[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water-cooled rotary joints, in particular to a universal visual dynamic rotary joint pressure test fixture. Background Art

[0002] As a key component for the exchange of internal and external cooling water (high and low temperature water) in continuous casting roller equipment, the rotary joint has the characteristics of complex structure, high precision and sealing performance requirements, and must adapt to high temperature working conditions. This series of high requirements leads to high cost of use.

[0003] During the use of the water-cooled rotary joint of the continuous casting roller, the sealing quality of the hollow shaft and the graphite sleeve, two parts that contact each other and rotate relative to each other, is directly related to whether the rotary joint will leak.

The other end of the rotary joint is sleeved with the rotating part 11 to drive the rotation of the rotary joint. The electromagnetic speed regulating motor 2 is connected to the rotating part 11 through a transmission belt 5 and a power source.

[0031] The electromagnetic speed regulating motor 2 provides the set speed under the working conditions of the continuous casting equipment, and the corresponding speed is applied to the movable inner core 16 of the rotary joint through the rotating part 11. At the same time, clean water with a fixed pressure is introduced into the rotary joint. By maintaining the pressure for a certain period of time, the leakage and water seepage of each sealing point are observed, and the dynamic sealing test of the rotary joint is performed.

[0032] The rotating head includes a fixed shell 8, a water inlet hole 9 is provided on the outside of the fixed shell 8, a spring 19 is provided on the right side of the inside of the fixed shell 8, two silicon carbide gaskets 20 are provided on the right side of the spring 19, a movable inner core 16 is provided on the right side of the right silicon carbide gasket 20, and a retaining spring 18 is provided between the movable inner core 16 and the inner side wall of the fixed shell 8.

[0033] When in use, the water inlet 9 outside the fixed shell 8 of the rotary joint is used to inject water into the rotary joint, and the spring 19 inside the fixed shell 8 is used to push the silicon carbide gasket 20 on the left to move, and the moving direction is the silicon carbide gasket 20 on the right, so that the silicon carbide gasket 20 on the left is in close contact with the silicon carbide gasket 20 on the right. Figure 5 , to prevent the silicon carbide gasket 20 on the right from leaking when rotating.

[0034] The silicon carbide gasket 20 on the right is welded to the movable inner core 16. When the movable inner core 16 rotates, it is easy to drive the silicon carbide gasket 20 on the right to rotate. The movable inner core 16 is sleeved inside the fixed shell 8 and is fixed inside the fixed shell 8 by the retaining spring 18.

[0035] A groove 17 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the movable inner core 16 .

[0036] When in use, the movable inner core 16 is provided with a groove 17 at one end away from the fixed shell 8 . The groove 17 is a U-shaped groove, which facilitates the engagement of the pin 13 .

[0037] The rotating head fixing mechanism 4 includes a pressing block 7 located on one side of a fixed housing 8 , and a support frame 3 is provided below the fixed housing 8 .

[0043] When in use, when the electromagnetic speed regulating motor 2 drives the rotary joint through the transmission belt 5, the movable inner core 16 rotates at a speed of 10-15 rpm. During the rotation process, there is a possibility of water leakage at the dynamic and static sealing points of all its contact positions.

The electromagnetic speed regulating motor 2 is used to drive the rotating part 11 through the transmission belt 5 to rotate the transmission wheel 10, and the transmission wheel 10 drives the rotating part 11 to rotate. During the rotation process, the pin 13 drives the movable inner core 16 of the rotary joint to rotate, so as to be infinitely close to the working conditions of the rotary joint, ensuring that the rotary joint that has been inspected by the inspection fixture will not leak during operation.

[0052] The whole inspection process is completed by the following steps: install the rotary joint to be inspected - tighten the rotary joint with the clamping block 7 and the clamping bolt - inject clean water with a fixed pressure through the water inlet 9 and maintain the pressure - start the electromagnetic speed regulating motor 2 and adjust the speed - check point A respectively, and check points B, C, and D through the observation window 6 for leakage and water seepage.
