[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this fire valve air tightness and water pressure detection device, when in use, uses the telescopic detection tube and connector in the detection component to connect the two ends of the fire hose or fire valve, generates gas through the air pump and fills the fire hose or fire valve, and uses the pressure sensor in the detection component to detect the pressure inside the fire hose or fire valve, thereby determining whether the fire hose or fire valve is leaking. At the same time, this device can also be connected to the fire hose or fire valve in one direction, thereby detecting the water pressure at the corresponding connection. Through the above structure, the device can achieve the effect of detecting the air tightness and water pressure inside the fire hose or fire valve.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, when the fire valve air tightness and water pressure detection device is in use, the telescopic detection tube is first connected to the fire hose or fire valve through the connecting head, and then the fire hose or fire valve is connected to the connecting passage in the detection component, and because the connecting passage is connected to the connection box, the fire hose or fire valve forms a loop through the connecting head, the telescopic detection tube, the connection passage and the connection box, and since the detection port excavated on the side end face of the detection cover in the solenoid valve and the detection mechanism is connected to the connection passage, the solenoid valve is used to control the on-off of the connection passage and the detection mechanism is used to detect the inner cavity of the connection passage. When the fire hose or fire valve body needs to be detected, two sets of connecting heads are respectively connected to the two ends of the fire hose or fire valve, and the air pump is started, and the air pump passes through the filter box The gas is transported to the inner cavity of the connecting box, and then used to detect the air tightness inside the fire hose or fire valve through the reset spring, slider, pressure sensor and infrared distance sensor. The interior of the detection cover forms a connecting structure with the connecting passage through the detection port. When the inside of the detection cover is under pressure, the slider is also under pressure, which in turn causes the slider to press the reset spring, and the pressure sensor on the surface of the slider detects the pressure in the inner cavity of the detection cover. At the same time, the position between the infrared distance sensor and the slider is detected by the infrared distance sensor, and the internal pressure of the connecting passage is detected. At the same time, it can also determine whether the fire hose or fire valve has gas leakage, and then detect the air tightness of the fire hose or fire valve. Through the above structure, while detecting the air tightness of the fire hose or fire valve, it is also beneficial to observe the gas leakage inside the fire hose or fire valve.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the fire valve air tightness and water pressure detection device is used. When the fire hose or fire valve is subjected to water pressure detection, the telescopic detection tube is connected to the fire hose or fire valve in one direction through the connector, so that the fire hose or fire valve is connected to the connection path in the detection component. Since the connection path is connected to the connection box, the fire hose or fire valve is connected in one direction through the connector, the telescopic detection tube, the connection path and the connection box. The one-way connection of the connection path is controlled by the solenoid valve, wherein the water pressure inside the fire hose or fire valve is detected. When the fire hose or fire valve is in a state of emergency, the water inside the fire hose or fire valve flows into the connecting passage through the connecting head and the telescopic detection tube, and then the water pressure is detected by the pressure sensor. At the same time, the position between the infrared distance sensor and the slider is detected by the infrared distance sensor, which is conducive to observing whether the fire hose or fire valve is leaking. Through the above structure, while detecting the water pressure of the fire hose or fire valve, it is also conducive to observing whether the fire hose or fire valve is leaking. The device is powered by a PLC controller and a battery for control, so that it is easy to detect the water pressure and water pressure sealing problems inside the fire hose or fire valve.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] As attached Figures 1 to 3 The device for testing air tightness and water pressure of fire valves shown in the figure comprises a housing 1, a control panel 2, a detection assembly 3, a telescopic detection tube 4, and a connector 5. The control panel 2 is mounted on the upper end surface of the housing 1, and the detection assembly 3 is provided in the inner cavity of the housing 1. The measuring points at both ends of the detection assembly 3 are provided with telescopic detection tubes 4, and the end of the telescopic detection tube 4 away from the detection assembly 3 is provided with a connector 5. A PLC controller 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the housing 1, and a door 7 is connected to the side end surface of the housing 1 via a hinge.

[0025] The detection component 3 includes a connecting passage 31 and a connecting box 32. The connecting passage 31 is installed in the inner cavity of the box body 1, and the connecting passage 31 is connected to the connecting box 32. An electromagnetic valve 33 is provided on the outer diameter surface of the connecting passage 31, and two groups of electromagnetic valves 33 are provided, and the two groups of electromagnetic valves 33 are located on both sides of the connecting box 32. An air pump 34 is provided on one side of the connecting box 32, and a filter box 35 is provided at the input end of the air pump 34. The connecting passage 31 is connected to a detection mechanism 36. The detection mechanism 36 includes a detection cover 361 and a detection port 362. The detection cover 361 is cylindrical, and the detection port 362 is transversely penetrated on the outer diameter surface of the detection cover 361. The inner cavity of the detection cover 361 is hollow, and the inner cavity of the detection cover 361 is provided with a reset spring 363. A slider 364 is provided at one end of the reset spring 363, and a pressure sensor 365 is provided on the upper end surface of the slider 364, and an infrared distance sensor 366 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the detection cover 361.

[0026] Among them: first, the telescopic detection tube 4 is connected to the fire hose or fire valve through the connector 5, so that the fire hose or fire valve is connected to the connecting passage 31 in the detection assembly 3. Since the connecting passage 31 is connected to the connection box 32, the fire hose or fire valve forms a closed loop using the connector 5, the telescopic detection tube 4, the connecting passage 31 and the connection box 32. Moreover, since the solenoid valve 33 and the detection port 362 in the detection mechanism 36 are connected to the connecting passage 31, it is convenient for the solenoid valve 33 to control the connection and disconnection of the connecting passage 31 and for the detection mechanism 36 to detect the inner cavity of the connecting passage 31;

[0027] When the fire hose or fire valve body needs to be inspected, the two sets of connectors 5 are respectively connected to the two ends of the fire hose or fire valve, and the air pump 34 is started. The air pump 34 delivers gas to the inner cavity of the connection box 32 through the filter box 35. Then, the return spring 363, the slider 364, the pressure sensor 365 and the infrared distance sensor 366 are used to detect the air tightness inside the fire hose or fire valve. The interior of the detection cover 361 is connected to the connecting passage 31 through the detection port 362. When the interior of the detection cover 361 is subjected to pressure, the slider 364 is also subjected to pressure, causing the slider 364 to press the return spring 363. The pressure sensor 365 on the surface of the slider 364 detects the pressure inside the detection cover 361. At the same time, the infrared distance sensor 366 is used to detect the position between the infrared distance sensor 366 and the slider 364. In this way, while detecting the pressure inside the connecting passage 31, it can also determine whether there is a gas leak in the fire hose or fire valve, thereby detecting the air tightness of the fire hose or fire valve.

[0028] When the water pressure of a fire hose or a fire valve is tested, a set of connectors 5 are first used to connect the telescopic detection tube 4 to the fire hose or the fire valve in a one-way manner. The fire hose or the fire valve is connected to the connecting passage 31 in the detection component 3. Since the connecting passage 31 is connected to the connecting box 32, the fire hose or the fire valve is connected in a one-way manner using the connector 5, the telescopic detection tube 4, the connecting passage 31 and the connecting box 32, and the solenoid valve 33 controls the one-way connection of the connecting passage 31. When the water pressure inside the fire hose or the fire valve is tested, the water inside the fire hose or the fire valve flows into the connecting passage 31 using the connector 5 and the telescopic detection tube 4. The pressure sensor 365 is used to detect the water pressure. At the same time, the infrared distance sensor 366 is used to detect the position between the infrared distance sensor 366 and the slider 364. This is conducive to observing whether the fire hose or the fire valve is leaking. While detecting the water pressure of the fire hose or the fire valve, it is also conducive to observing whether the fire hose or the fire valve is leaking.

[0037] At the same time, the infrared distance sensor 366 is used to detect the position between the infrared distance sensor 366 and the slider 364.
