[0017] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The utility model provides a technical solution: an off-line inspection device for internal leakage of a pneumatic butterfly valve, comprising a test platform 1, fixed plates 11 are vertically arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the test platform 1, and a blocking block 12 is passed through and fixedly installed in the middle of the fixed plate 11; a clamping mechanism: used to fix the connection end of the pneumatic butterfly valve, the clamping mechanism includes a screw rod 16 and a servo motor 17, and a horizontal symmetrical groove 13 is opened inside the two sides of the test platform 1, and a slider 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 13, and a connecting block 15 is symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the slider 14. The slider 14 is connected to the upper surface of the slider 14 by two connecting blocks. The group connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the fixed plate 11, and connecting grooves 18 are horizontally penetrated on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the top of the slide 13. The two groups of connecting blocks 15 at the top of the slider 14 are respectively slidably connected to the two groups of connecting grooves 18 at the top of the slide 13. The screw rod 16 horizontally penetrates the middle of the slider 14 and is threadedly connected to the slider 14. The shaft end of the servo motor 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw rod 16. The threads on both sides of the screw rod 16 rotate in opposite directions. The screw rod 16 is rotatably connected to the detection platform 1 through a bearing, and the servo motor 17 is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the detection platform 1.

[0018] In this technical solution, the servo motor 17 is controlled by the industrial control computer 25 to drive the screw rod 16 to rotate. The threads on both sides of the screw rod 16 rotate in opposite directions. During the rotation of the screw rod 16, the two sets of sliders 14 can be driven to move relative to or in reverse directions in the slide groove 13. The two sets of fixed plates 11 can be driven to move relative to or in reverse directions on the upper surface of the test platform 1 through the connecting block 15, thereby pushing the two sets of blocking blocks 12 to fix the connecting end of the pneumatic butterfly valve.

[0019] In this embodiment, the detection mechanism is used to detect internal leakage of the pneumatic butterfly valve. The detection mechanism includes an air pressure sensor 23. A carrier plate 2 is fixedly installed horizontally on the lower end of the right fixed plate 11. The upper surface of the carrier plate 2 is fixedly connected to an air pump 21. The air outlet end of the air pump 21 is connected to an air inflation pipe 22. The air outlet end of the air inflation pipe 22 passes through the middle of the right block 12 and is fixedly connected to the block 12. The air pressure sensor 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inflation pipe 22. The front side of the detection platform 1 is fixedly connected to an industrial control computer 25. The data output end of the air pressure sensor 23 is connected to the data input end of the industrial control computer 25. A through opening 27 is opened through the middle of the left block 12.

[0020] In this technical solution, a through-hole 27 is opened through the middle of the left block 12, so that one end of the pneumatic butterfly valve is opened, and the right block 12 can block the other end of the pneumatic butterfly valve. The air pump 21 is controlled by the industrial control computer 25, and air can be inflated to the other end of the pneumatic butterfly valve through the inflation pipe 22. The air pressure at the inflation end of the pneumatic butterfly valve can be detected by the air pressure sensor 23 and the data can be transmitted to the industrial control computer 25. When the air pressure at the inflation end of the pneumatic butterfly valve reaches the threshold, the industrial control computer 25 can control the air pump 21 to close. After a specified time, the air pressure changes inside the inflation end of the pneumatic butterfly valve are observed. When the air pressure inside the inflation end of the pneumatic butterfly valve decreases, it indicates that there is an internal leakage in the pneumatic butterfly valve.

[0021] In this embodiment, a one-way valve 24 is provided inside the inflation tube 22, and the one-way valve 24 is placed between the air pressure sensor 23 and the air inlet end of the inflation tube 22.

A sealing gasket 26 is bonded to the inner side of the fixed plate 11 to improve the sealing effect of the fixed plate 11 and the blocking block 12 on the connection end of the pneumatic butterfly valve.

[0023] When an off-line inspection device for internal leakage of a pneumatic butterfly valve is used, the servo motor 17 is controlled by the industrial control computer 25 to work, which can drive the screw rod 16 to rotate. The threads on both sides of the screw rod 16 rotate in opposite directions. During the rotation of the screw rod 16, the two sets of sliders 14 can be driven to move relative to or in opposite directions in the slide groove 13. The two sets of fixing plates 11 can be driven to move relative to or in opposite directions on the upper surface of the inspection table 1 through the connecting block 15, thereby pushing the two sets of blocking blocks 12 to fix the connecting end of the pneumatic butterfly valve. A through hole 27 is opened in the middle of the blocking block 12 on the left side, so that one end of the pneumatic butterfly valve can be fixed. The end is open, and the blocking block 12 on the right can block the other end of the pneumatic butterfly valve. The air pump 21 is controlled by the industrial control computer 25 to inflate the other end of the pneumatic butterfly valve through the inflation pipe 22. The air pressure at the inflation end of the pneumatic butterfly valve can be detected by the air pressure sensor 23 and the data is transmitted to the industrial control computer 25. When the air pressure at the inflation end of the pneumatic butterfly valve reaches the threshold, the industrial control computer 25 can control the air pump 21 to be closed. After a specified time, the air pressure change inside the inflation end of the pneumatic butterfly valve is observed. When the air pressure inside the inflation end of the pneumatic butterfly valve decreases, it indicates that there is an internal leakage in the pneumatic butterfly valve.
