Valve stem calibration is a vital basis for determining the valve's opening degree and control accuracy. Currently, adjusting the flow rate of each bearing in the unit is primarily achieved by installing flow meters on the water pipeline. However, the seasonal nature of flow necessitates periodic remeasurement of valve opening. Traditional measuring tools may not be suitable for valve stems and pipes of varying sizes, resulting in poor applicability. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the valve stem calibration precision measuring device for pumped storage power plants includes a detection mechanism installed on the valve pipeline and a positioning block 3 installed on the valve stem support. The detection mechanism includes a support base 1, a bracket 2 perpendicular to the support base 1, a lead screw 4 parallel to the valve stem in the middle of the bracket 2, a guide rod 5 on one side of the lead screw 4, a lead screw seat 6 on the lead screw 4 and the guide rod 5, a positioning ruler 7 for positioning the valve stem height on the lead screw seat 6, a scale corresponding to the positioning ruler 7 in the bracket 2, and a positioning mechanism corresponding to the positioning block 3 on the front side of the lead screw 4 and the guide rod 5.

[0022] The support base 1 includes an upper clamp 8, a lower clamp 9, a connecting seat 10 for connecting the upper clamp 8 and the lower clamp 9, and a locking seat 11 for locking the upper clamp 8 and the lower clamp 9. The locking seat 11 includes an upper fixing block 14 disposed at the end of the upper clamp 8 and a lower fixing block 15 disposed at the end of the lower clamp 9. The lower side of the upper fixing block 14 is provided with a locking block 16, and the locking block 16 is provided with positioning holes 17 on both sides. The lower fixing block 15 is provided with a locking groove 18 corresponding to the locking block 16.

[0023] The upper clamp 8 and the lower clamp 9 are provided with a self-tightening mechanism in the axial middle part of their inner sides. On one side of the self-tightening mechanism, there are multiple sets of abutment rods 12 for locking the support base 1 and the valve pipeline. The end of the abutment rod 12 is provided with a radially arranged pressure block 13.

[0024] The self-tightening mechanism includes a telescopic rod 19 installed on the upper clamp 8 and the lower clamp 9 and arranged radially. A spring 20 is provided on the outside of the telescopic rod 19. The ends of the telescopic rod 19 and the spring 20 are provided with abutment blocks 21 for abutting against the valve pipeline.

[0025] The positioning block 3 includes an arc-shaped sleeve 22, and the outer side of the arc-shaped sleeve 22 is provided with a positioning groove 23.

[0026] The positioning mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw 24 horizontally arranged on one side of the lead screw 4 and the guide rod 5. The bidirectional lead screw 24 is provided with a movable seat 25 that abuts against the bottom surface of the bracket 2. The movable seat 25 is provided with a positioning rod 26 corresponding to the positioning groove 23.

[0027] The principle of this application is that it is installed using a support base 1. During installation, the upper clamp 8 and lower clamp 9 rotate around the connecting seat 10 to open the support base 1. After the upper clamp 8 and lower clamp 9 are connected to the outside of the pipe, the cooperation of the locking block 16 and the locking groove 18 achieves initial locking, and the positioning hole 17 also achieves initial locking. The locking groove 18 of the lower fixing block 15 has through holes on both sides corresponding to the positioning hole 17, which can be initially fixed with bolts and nuts, but not locked, allowing the support base 1 to rotate relative to the pipe. At this time, the self-locking mechanism can achieve initial locking of the support base, preventing the support base 1 from rotating without external force, which would cause the positioning screw and valve stem to be unable to rotate. The self-locking mechanism, under the action of a spring, presses the stop block 21 against the valve pipe, achieving initial locking. Then, by rotating the double-acting screw 24, which is driven by a motor or manually via a rocker arm at its end, the moving seat moves the positioning rod 26 to engage with the positioning block 3 for positioning. The engaging block is mounted on the valve bracket, allowing the positioning rod 26 to engage in the positioning groove 23. Then, by locking the upper clamp 8 and lower clamp 9 and rotating the stop rod 12, the pressure block 13 presses against the pipe, achieving locking and completing the positioning process. At this point, the double-acting screw is reversed, and the positioning block is removed. Finally, the positioning ruler 7 moves up and down via the screw 4. Like the double-acting screw, the screw 4 is driven by a motor or manually via a rocker arm at its end to measure the valve stem descent height. This application has the advantages of good applicability and ease of use.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
