DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 5 A tool for plugging an explosion-proof valve includes a guide seat 10, a pressure head 20, and a pressure rod 30. The guide seat 10 is provided with a communicating guide groove 101 and an adjustment hole 102. The pressure head 20 is arranged in the guide groove 101. The pressure rod 30 is movably inserted in the adjustment hole 102. An air groove 201 is provided at one end of the pressure head 20 facing the explosion-proof valve 40. The air groove 201 matches the shape of the explosion-proof valve 40 to be tested. A sealing groove 202 is provided around the air groove 201. A sealing ring 21 is provided in the sealing groove 202. The pressure rod 30 moves along the adjustment hole 102 to press the pressure head 20 toward the explosion-proof valve 40, sealing the explosion-proof valve 40 to facilitate airtightness testing of the explosion-proof valve 40.

[0025] The guide groove 101 extends from the end surface of the guide seat 10 to the middle thereof. The depth of the guide groove 101 is greater than the thickness of the pressure head 20 so that the space within the guide groove 101 can meet the movement of the pressure head 20. Under the action of the pressure rod 30, the pressure head 20 can move along the guide groove 101 toward the explosion-proof valve 40, compress the sealing ring 21, and seal the explosion-proof valve 40.

[0026] The cross-sectional shape and size of the pressure head 20 should match the cross-sectional shape and size of the guide groove 101. When the pressure head 20 is located in the guide groove 101, the outer wall of the pressure head 20 is in contact with the inner wall of the guide groove 101, so that the guide groove 101 can form a limit in the circumferential direction of the pressure head 20, thereby preventing the pressure head 20 from shaking when moving in the guide groove 101, causing the pressure head 20 to be unable to align with the explosion-proof valve 40, thereby reducing the sealing effect. In this embodiment, the guide seat 10 and the pressure head 20 are both rectangular, the guide groove 101 is a square groove, and the cross-sectional shapes of the pressure head 20 and the guide groove 101 are both square. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As another embodiment, the guide groove 101 is a circular groove, the cross section of the pressure head 20 is circular, and the inner diameter of the guide groove 101 is the same as the outer diameter of the pressure head 20, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 shown.

[0027] An air groove 201 is provided at one end of the pressure head 20 facing the explosion-proof valve 40. The shape and size of the air groove 201 match the shape and size of the explosion-proof valve 40 to be tested. A sealing groove 202 is provided around the air groove 201. The sealing groove 202 and the air groove 201 are located on the same end face of the pressure head 20. A sealing ring 21 is provided in the sealing groove 202. During testing, the pressure head 20 is covered on the explosion-proof valve 40, and the air groove 201 is covered outside the explosion-proof valve 40, cooperating with the sealing ring 21 for sealing.

[0028] In the present application, a plurality of pressure heads 20 are provided, and the guide seat 10 cooperates with a single pressure head 20 to perform airtightness testing on a single explosion-proof valve 40. The external dimensions of different pressure heads 20 are the same, so that different pressure heads 20 can be inserted into the guide groove 101. The shapes and dimensions of the sealing grooves 202 on different pressure heads 20 are all different. The shapes and dimensions of the sealing grooves 202 on different pressure heads 20 are set according to the specifications of the explosion-proof valve 40 to be tested. When testing explosion-proof valves 40 of different specifications, it is only necessary to replace the pressure head 20 having the air groove 201 corresponding to the specifications of the explosion-proof valve 40 to be tested, install the pressure head 20 on the guide seat 10, and operate the pressure rod 30 to press the pressure head 20 to perform the test.

[0029] A positioning plate 11 for connecting the explosion-proof valve 40 is provided on the front side of the guide groove 101. Specifically, the two side walls of the guide seat 10 extend toward the front side of the guide groove 101. The two positioning plates 11 are respectively arranged at the end parts of the two side walls. The positioning plates 11 are spaced apart from the end faces of the guide groove 101. The two positioning plates 11 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the guide groove 101. The two positioning plates 11 extend relative to each other to form a closing end on the front side of the guide groove 101 for connecting the explosion-proof valve 40. Specifically, ear plates 41 are provided on both sides of the explosion-proof valve 40, and the guide seat 10 is sleeved on the explosion-proof valve 40 from top to bottom. The ear plates 41 are located on the inner side of the positioning plate 11, and along the axial direction of the guide groove 101, the ear plates 41 are in contact with the positioning plate 11, and the positioning plate 11 limits the explosion-proof valve 40 in the axial direction to prevent the guide seat 10 from axially separating from the explosion-proof valve 40; and the two side walls of the guide seat 10 are respectively located on the outside of the two ear plates 41 and in contact with the ear plates 41, forming stops on both sides of the ear plates 41, and then forming a limit in the left and right direction of the explosion-proof valve 40 to prevent the guide seat 10 from moving left and right relative to the explosion-proof valve 40, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0030] A cover plate 12 is removably mounted above the guide seat 10. A limit plate 121 is mounted on the cover plate 12 to limit the position of the explosion-proof valve 40. Specifically, when the cover plate 12 is mounted on the guide seat 10, the limit plate 121 is positioned between the two positioning plates 11 and abuts against the top of the explosion-proof valve 40. The limit plate 121 limits the position of the explosion-proof valve 40, preventing the guide seat 10 from moving downward relative to the explosion-proof valve 40.

[0031] During testing, the guide seat 10 is sleeved on the explosion-proof valve 40 from top to bottom, and the explosion-proof valve 40 is inserted into the guide seat 10 from the gap between the positioning plate 11 and the end face of the guide groove 101. The ear plate 41 is in contact with the positioning plate 11 in the axial direction of the guide groove 101, and in contact with the two side walls of the guide seat 10 in the left and right directions. At the same time, the top surface of the explosion-proof valve 40 is in contact with the cover plate 12 to support the guide seat 10, so that the guide seat 10 and the explosion-proof valve 40 are positioned and connected, which is convenient for subsequent airtight testing.

[0032] The distance between the positioning plate 11 and the end face of the guide groove 101 is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the pressure head 20, so that after the guide seat 10 is connected to the explosion-proof valve 40, during the tightening process of the pressure head 20, a part of the pressure head 20 is always located in the guide groove 101, and the guide groove 101 can provide support for the pressure head 20 to prevent the pressure head 20 from detaching from the guide groove 101.

[0033] When replacing the pressure head 20, remove the guide seat 10 from above the explosion-proof valve 40, separate the guide seat 10 from the explosion-proof valve 40, operate the pressure rod 30 to push the pressure head 20 to move outward along the guide groove 101 until it is completely disengaged from the guide groove 101, and the pressure head 20 is out of the gap between the positioning plate 11 and the end face of the guide groove 101, and the pressure head 20 can be replaced.

[0034] The adjustment hole 102 is connected to the guide groove 101 and passes through the two ends of the guide seat 10 respectively. The pressure rod 30 is movably arranged in the adjustment hole 102. The pressure rod 30 is operated to move along the adjustment hole 102. The end of the pressure rod 30 contacts the pressure head 20, pushing the pressure head 20 toward the explosion-proof valve 40 to achieve compression. Specifically, an internal thread is provided in the adjustment hole 102, and an external thread is provided on the outside of the pressure rod 30. The pressure rod 30 is threadedly connected to the wire holder. The pressure rod 30 is rotated to move along the adjustment hole 102. The end of the pressure rod 30 contacts the pressure head 20, pressing the pressure head 20 toward the explosion-proof valve 40, squeezing the sealing ring 21 to seal the explosion-proof valve 40, and locking the pressure rod 30 through the threaded connection to keep the pressure rod 30 in its stroke, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the pressure head 20.

[0035] Preferably, a fixing ring 31 is sleeved on the pressure rod 30, and a gap 311 is opened on the fixing ring 31. The gap 311 penetrates the single-side wall thickness of the fixing ring 31, and connecting holes are provided on the two side walls of the gap 311. The two connecting holes are connected by bolts so that the fixing ring 31 holds the pressure rod 30 tightly. The fixing ring 31 forms a limit on the pressure rod 30 to limit the screw-in depth of the pressure rod 30.

[0036] The pressure head 20 is provided with an air hole 203, and the air hole 203 is provided with a joint 22. The joint 22 is connected to an air pipe 23, which is connected to an external air source. Gas is input into the air tank 201 through the air pipe 23 to perform an airtightness test on the explosion-proof valve 40. In this application, to facilitate the arrangement of the air pipe 23, a pipe 301 is opened inside the pressure rod 30. The pressure rod 30 has a hollow structure, and the air pipe 23 is arranged in the pipe 301 to supply gas to the air tank 201.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or that some of the technical features may be replaced with equivalents; and such modifications or replacements do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
