A retaining plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the turntable. A retaining plate has a corresponding slot on the rotating frame, into which the retaining plate is inserted. Two sliding plates are slidably connected within the retaining plate, and a spring is fixedly installed between the two sliding plates. This gas cylinder sealing test device can efficiently utilize the waiting time during the testing process for placing or removing gas cylinders, saving time and further improving testing efficiency. Simultaneously, the rotating frame is easy and quick to assemble and disassemble, allowing for rapid replacement with rotating frames of different diameter slots to adapt to gas cylinders of different diameters, thus further enhancing the applicability of the equipment.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the device cannot guarantee the stability of the gas cylinder during use, and it is prone to tipping over during testing. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solution of this patent is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5A gas cylinder testing device includes a testing platform 1. Support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the testing platform 1. A circular placement groove 2 is provided at the center of the top of the testing platform 1. Several sliding grooves 3 arranged in a ring array are provided on the inner wall of the circular placement groove 2. A vertically arranged bidirectional lead screw 4 is rotatably connected in the sliding groove 3. The bottom end of each bidirectional lead screw 4 extends to the bottom of the testing platform 1 and is jointly connected to a drive assembly 5. Two symmetrically arranged slide seats 6 are threaded on the upper and lower threaded surfaces of the bidirectional lead screw 4. The slide seats 6 are slidably disposed in the sliding groove 3. Support rods 7 are hinged to the outside of the slide seats 6. The ends of the two support rods 7 away from the slide seats 6 are jointly hinged to a stop plate 8. A fixing frame 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the testing platform 1 near the edge. A testing mechanism 10 is provided on the fixing frame 9. When testing a gas cylinder, the cylinder is placed in a circular placement slot 2. Then, the drive assembly 5 drives each bidirectional lead screw 4 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the upper and lower slide blocks 6 in the slide groove 3 to slide in opposite directions. With the cooperation of the support rod 7, the abutment plate 8 is pushed closer to the gas cylinder. Several abutment plates 8 will move towards the gas cylinder synchronously and then abut against the outer wall of the gas cylinder. With the cooperation of several abutment plates 8, the gas cylinder is clamped and fixed, so that it will not shake or tip over during testing, thus improving testing efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, the drive assembly 5 includes a pinion 501 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the bidirectional lead screw 4, and an internal gear ring 502 rotatably connected to the bottom of the testing table 1. The internal gear ring 502 is coaxial with the circular placement groove 2, and each pinion 501 is located within the internal gear ring 502 and meshes with it. A rotating handle 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the internal gear ring 502. In use, the operator rotates the rotating handle 503 to rotate the internal gear ring 502. The rotation of the internal gear ring 502 causes the pinions 501 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the bidirectional lead screws 4 to rotate synchronously. The rotating handle 503 facilitates the operator's rotation of the internal gear ring 502.

[0024] Furthermore, a flexible pad 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the abutment 8 near the axis of the circular placement groove 2. The flexible pad 11 is made of rubber. By setting the flexible pad 11, the abutment 8 can be made more stable and secure when clamping and fixing the gas cylinder.

[0025] Furthermore, the detection mechanism 10 includes an air storage tank 1001, a booster pump 1002, and a pressure monitor 1003 mounted on the top of the fixed frame 9. A first pipe 1004 is connected between the air storage tank 1001 and the air inlet of the booster pump 1002. A valve 1005 is mounted on the first pipe 1004. A fixed plate 1006 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 9. A threaded rod 1007 is rotatably connected between the top of the fixed plate 1006 and the fixed frame 9. A motor 1008 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 9. The output end of the motor 1008 is connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod 1007. A lifting seat 1009 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 1007. A connector 10010 is mounted at the bottom of the lifting seat 1009. A second pipe 10011 is connected between the air outlet of the booster pump 1002 and the pressure monitor 1003 and the connector 10010. When in use, the testing mechanism 10 starts the motor 1008 to drive the threaded rod 1007 to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting seat 1009 to move the connector 10010 downward to connect with the gas cylinder mouth. After the connection is completed, the valve 1005 is opened, and the booster pump 1002 works to inject gas into the gas cylinder until the gas cylinder is damaged. The maximum pressure that the gas cylinder can withstand is observed by the pressure monitoring instrument 1003. A portion of the gas cylinders in a batch of products are sampled for testing to obtain the pressure resistance performance of the gas cylinder. The operation is simple and practical, which is conducive to its widespread use.

[0026] Furthermore, the connector 10010 is detachable. When inspecting gas cylinders, a suitable connector 10010 can be replaced according to the diameter of the gas cylinder opening. The second pipe 10011 is a flexible hose, facilitating the vertical movement of the lifting seat 1009 without restriction. A guide rod 12, parallel to the threaded rod 1007, is fixedly connected between the top of the fixing plate 1006 and the fixing frame 9. The lifting seat 1009 is slidably connected to the guide rod 12. By setting the guide rod 12, the lifting seat 1009 can be guided, preventing it from shaking or rotating during vertical movement and improving its stability.

[0027] In use, the gas cylinder is placed in the circular placement slot 2. Then, the inspector rotates the handle 503 to drive the internal gear ring 502 to rotate. When the internal gear ring 502 rotates, it drives each pinion 501 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives each double-sided lead screw 4 to rotate synchronously. This drives the upper and lower slide blocks 6 in the slide groove 3 to slide in opposite directions. With the cooperation of the support rod 7, the abutment plate 8 is pushed closer to the gas cylinder. Several abutment plates 8 will move towards the gas cylinder synchronously and then abut against the outer wall of the gas cylinder. With the cooperation of several abutment plates 8, the gas cylinder is clamped. Tightly fix the gas cylinder, then start the motor 1008 to drive the threaded rod 1007 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting seat 1009 to move the connector 10010 downwards to connect with the gas cylinder opening. After connection, open the valve 1005, and the booster pump 1002 will work to inject gas into the gas cylinder until the gas cylinder is damaged. The maximum pressure that the gas cylinder can withstand is observed by the pressure monitoring instrument 1003. A portion of the gas cylinders in a batch of products are sampled for testing to determine the pressure resistance of the gas cylinder. The operation is simple and practical, which is conducive to its widespread use.

[0028] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
