The middle part of the limiting groove 13 is connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 14 through a bearing, and the opposite threads on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 14 are threadedly connected to moving blocks 15; further, the bidirectional threaded rod 14 can rotate in the limiting groove 13, and the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 14 drives the moving blocks 15 on the opposite threads on both sides to perform translational movement in opposite directions.

The bottom ends of the two groups of moving blocks 15 are connected to clamping plates 17, and the opposite sides of the two groups of clamping plates 17 are connected to anti-slip pads 18; further, the limit rods 16 play a limiting role, and are driven by the No. 3 servo motor 19 to rotate the bidirectional threaded rod 14. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 14 drives the moving blocks 15 at the opposite threads on both sides to perform translational movement in opposite directions. The movement of the two groups of moving blocks 15 drives the clamping plates 17 on both sides to rotate in opposite directions, thereby clamping the valve stem of the ball valve. The anti-slip pads 18 increase the friction to prevent slipping. The No. 1 servo motor 8 can drive the clamping plates 17 on both sides to twist the valve stem. During the twisting process, the current rotation torque can be detected by the torque sensor 10. By dynamically simulating the torque, the torque required for opening and closing the ball valve can be tested and adjusted.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, a No. 3 servo motor 19 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 12, and the output end of the No. 3 servo motor 19 is connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 14; further, the No. 3 servo motor 19 plays a driving role and can drive the bidirectional threaded rod 14 to rotate.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, a placing table 20 is provided at the top center of the workbench 1, and a telescopic cylinder 21 is provided on both sides of the placing table 20. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 21 is connected to a connecting column 22, and a ventilation cavity 23 is provided inside the connecting column 22. The end of the connecting column 22 away from the telescopic cylinder 21 is connected to a sealing rubber pad 24, and a ventilation groove 25 is provided in the middle of the sealing rubber pad 24; further, the ball valve to be tested can be placed on the top of the placing table 20, and the telescopic cylinders 21 on both sides can push the connecting column 22 to perform translational movement, thereby driving the sealing rubber pads 24 on one side of the connecting columns 22 on both sides to abut and squeeze against the openings on both sides of the ball valve. The sealing rubber pad 24 is made of rubber material, which increases the sealing performance with the ball valve, and the cavity inside the ball valve can be connected to the ventilation cavity 23 through the ventilation groove 25.

By adjusting the power of the air pump 27, the air pressure in the ventilation cavity 23 and the ball valve cavity can be changed, thereby simulating the state of the ball valve working under different pressures. By testing the torque of the ball valve under different pressures, the torque required for its opening and closing can be determined, so as to adapt to the torque requirements in different situations. At the same time, the current pressure inside the ventilation cavity 23 can be detected by the pressure sensor 28. The pressure detected by the pressure sensor 28 and the torque detected by the torque sensor 10 can be transmitted to the control cabinet 29 through wires for recording for observation.

When the lifting top plate 4 moves to the required height, the bidirectional threaded rod 14 is driven by the No. 3 servo motor 19 to rotate, and the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 14 drives the moving blocks 15 at the opposite threads on both sides to perform translational movement in opposite directions. The movement of the two sets of moving blocks 15 drives the clamping plates 17 on both sides to rotate in opposite directions, thereby clamping the valve stem of the ball valve, and the anti-slip pad 18 increases the friction to prevent slipping. The connecting column 22 can be pushed to translate by the telescopic cylinders 21 on both sides, thereby driving the sealing rubber pads 24 on one side of the connecting column 22 on both sides to abut and squeeze the openings on both sides of the ball valve. The sealing rubber pads 24 are made of rubber material to increase the sealing performance with the ball valve.

[0033] The cavity inside the ball valve can be connected to the ventilation cavity 23 through the ventilation groove 25. The air pump 27 can inflate the ventilation cavity 23 through the air pipe 26. The ventilation cavity 23 is connected to the interior of the ball valve, allowing gas to enter the valve cavity. By adjusting the power of the air pump 27, the air pressure in the ventilation cavity 23 and the ball valve cavity can be changed, thereby simulating the state of the ball valve when working under different pressures. The first servo motor 8 can drive the clamping plates 17 on both sides to twist the valve stem. During the twisting process, the current rotation torque can be detected by the torque sensor 10. By dynamically simulating the torque, the torque required for opening and closing the ball valve can be tested and adjusted. By testing the torque of the ball valve under different pressures, the torque required for opening and closing can be adjusted to meet the torque requirements in different situations. At the same time, the pressure inside the ventilation cavity 23 can be detected by the pressure sensor 28. The pressure signal detected by the pressure sensor 28 and the torque signal detected by the torque sensor 10 can be transmitted via wires to the control cabinet 29 for recording and observation. The above is the working principle of the ball valve torque dynamic simulation detection device.
