The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different perspectives and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are intended solely to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated. Example

[0048] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a pressure testing tool for a ball valve includes a fixing component 1 and a connecting component 2 for fixing the ball valve to be tested. Multiple fixing components 1 are connected through the connecting component 2 to achieve batch testing of ball valves.

[0049] By connecting the connecting assembly to the fixed assembly, multiple fixed assemblies can be connected in series, enabling batch testing of multiple ball valves and significantly improving testing efficiency. This solves the low testing efficiency issue of existing ball valve pressure testing devices while ensuring pressure test accuracy. It offers the advantages of ease of use, low cost, high reliability, and high stability.

[0050] Among them, a connecting component 2 connects two fixing components 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the test process and thus the accuracy of the test results, a fixing assembly 1 is provided, including a fixing base 11 and a first fastener 12 provided on the fixing base 11. The ball valve to be tested is fixed by the cooperation between the fixing base 11 and the first fastener 12.

[0052] Exemplarily, each fixed base 11 is provided with six first fasteners 12 , and three first fasteners 12 are evenly spaced apart along the length direction of the fixed base 11 .

[0053] In some embodiments, the fixed base 11 is provided with an oil inlet channel 111 for communicating with the oil inlet of the ball valve under test and an oil outlet channel 112 for communicating with the oil outlet of the ball valve under test, thereby realizing pressure testing of the ball valve under test.

[0054] The above-mentioned setting mode of the fixed base can realize the pressure test of a single ball valve, and can also realize the test of multiple ball valves by cooperating with the connection component.

[0055] The fixed base 11 is used to place the ball valve under test. After the oil inlet of the ball valve under test is aligned with the oil inlet channel 111 and the oil outlet of the ball valve under test is aligned with the oil outlet channel 112, the four corners of the ball valve under test are tightened and fixed by adjusting the first fasteners 12. The surface of the fixed base 11 for placing the ball valve under test is smooth to ensure the sealing performance of the ball valve after clamping.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 2 includes an oil inlet joint 21, a sealing ball joint 22, and a connection pipe 23 connected in sequence;

[0057] The oil inlet joint 21 is connected to the oil outlet channel 112 of one fixed base 11 , and the connecting pipe 23 is connected to the oil inlet channel 111 of another fixed base 11 , so as to realize simultaneous testing of multiple ball valves.

[0058] Alternatively, the oil inlet connector 21 is connected to the oil inlet channel 111 of one fixed base 11 , and the connecting pipe 23 is connected to the oil outlet channel 112 of another fixed base 11 , so as to achieve simultaneous testing of multiple ball valves.

[0059] During the test, the unused oil outlet channel 112 is sealed with a screw plug 5. After the test is completed, the screw plug 5 is removed to discharge the test oil.

[0060] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 2 further includes a second fastener 24 , which is sleeved on the connection tube 23 to achieve a secure connection between the sealing ball head 22 and the connection tube 23 .

[0061] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 2 further includes a pressing member 25 , which is sleeved on the oil inlet joint 21 , the sealing ball head 22 , the connecting pipe 23 and the second fastener 24 .

[0062] For example, in order to facilitate disassembly and assembly, one end of the oil inlet connector 21 is threadedly connected to the oil outlet channel 112, and the other end is provided with a tapered interface 211;

[0063] In order to increase the contact area and thus enhance the connection stability and sealing performance, one end of the sealing ball head 22 is provided with a tapered joint 221 that closely matches the tapered interface 211 .

[0064] In some embodiments, the other end of the sealing ball head 22 is plug-fitted to one end of the connecting tube 23;

[0065] In order to facilitate disassembly and assembly, the other end of the connecting pipe 23 is threadedly connected to the oil inlet channel 111.

[0066] In some embodiments, a first sealing structure 3 is provided between the oil inlet joint 21 and the oil outlet channel 112 .

[0067] In some embodiments, a second sealing structure 4 is provided between the connecting pipe 23 and the oil inlet channel 111 .

[0068] Exemplarily, the first sealing structure 3 and the second sealing structure 4 are both sealing rings.

[0069] For example, the first fastener 12 is a screw. The fixing base 11 is provided with a screw mounting hole 113 .

[0070] Among them, the stress on the screw can be calculated through the test pressure and the force-bearing area of ​​the ball valve, thereby calculating the safety factor of the screw, so that screws with corresponding safety factors can be selected to ensure the stability and sealing of the assembly.

[0071] Exemplarily, the second fastener 24 is a nut.

[0072] Exemplarily, the pressing member 25 is a pressing cap.

[0073] When the pressure test tool of the ball valve is actually used, the number of fixed bases 1 is first determined according to the number of ball valves to be tested, and then one end of the oil inlet joint 21 is connected to the oil outlet channel 112 of the previous fixed base 11, and the tapered interface 211 at the other end is tightly matched with the tapered joint 221 at one end of the sealing ball head 22, and the pressing piece 25 and the second fastener 24 are inserted into the small-diameter end of the connecting pipe 23 in sequence, and then the small-diameter end of the connecting pipe 23 is inserted into the other end of the sealing ball head 22, and the second fastener 24 and the pressing piece 25 are tightened in sequence, and then the connecting pipe 23 is tightened. The large-diameter end is connected to the oil inlet channel 111 of the next fixed base 11, and so on. The unused oil outlet channel 112 is sealed with a screw plug 5. Then, after the fixed base 11 is connected according to the number of ball valves to be tested, the ball valve to be tested is placed on the fixed base 11, and the oil inlet of the ball valve to be tested is aligned with the oil inlet channel 111, and the oil outlet of the ball valve to be tested is aligned with the oil outlet channel 112. The four corners of the ball valve to be tested are tightened and fixed by adjusting the first fastener 12, and then the test oil is sucked in for a pressure test. After the test is completed, the screw plug 5 is removed to discharge the test oil.

[0074] In summary, the pressure testing fixture for the ball valve of the present invention cleverly connects multiple fixed components together through the careful design and configuration of the connecting components, forming an efficient testing production line. This innovative design allows multiple ball valves to be connected in series for batch testing, significantly improving the efficiency of the testing work. This improvement effectively solves the problem of low testing efficiency in traditional ball valve pressure testing devices, while ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the pressure test. In addition, this new testing system also has multiple advantages such as easy operation, low cost, high reliability and strong stability, making it more competitive and practical in actual applications, and has promotion and application value in the field of component pressure testing technology.
