[0002] For pressure vessels such as seamless steel gas cylinders, refillable welded gas cylinders, seamless aluminum alloy gas cylinders, or spiral wound gas cylinders, hydrostatic tests must be conducted regularly after manufacturing and during use to ensure their safety and sealing performance. Hydrostatic tests are especially important for seamless steel gas cylinders.

However, there is a lack of secure fastening for the LPG cylinders, and the LPG cylinders are bulky and not easy to move flexibly. They need to be transported and secured, which is inconvenient for further water pressure testing. Therefore, this utility model proposes a water pressure testing device for LPG cylinders to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment proposes a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder water pressure testing device, including a base 1, a fixed rod 2, and a rotating plate 3. The fixed rod 2 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the back of the base 1. The rotating plate 3 is hinged to the top of the fixed rod 2. An upper clamping block 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 3. A lower clamping block 5 is connected to the top of the base 1 via a lifting mechanism. A pressurizing mechanism is provided on one side of the rotating plate 3. The LPG cylinder is placed on top of the lower clamping block 5. Then, the rotating plate 3 is rotated clockwise to move the upper clamping block 4 above the lower clamping block 5. The lifting mechanism drives the lower clamping block 5 upward, causing the upper clamping block 4 and the lower clamping block 5 to pressurize the LPG cylinder. The top and bottom of the gas cylinder are clamped together to fix the liquefied gas cylinder above the base 1. Then, the pressurization mechanism is connected to the valve of the liquefied gas cylinder. The pressurization mechanism injects water into the inside of the liquefied gas cylinder to increase the pressure until the specified test pressure is reached. During the pressurization process, it is necessary to closely monitor the deformation and leakage of the cylinder. After reaching the test pressure, the pressure is kept stable for a period of time, usually from a few minutes to a few hours, to observe the deformation and leakage of the cylinder under long-term pressure. Finally, the lifting mechanism drives the lower clamp 5 to move downward, remove the liquefied gas cylinder from the top of the base 1, drain the water, and clean and dry the liquefied gas cylinder.
[0020] Both the upper clamping block 4 and the lower clamping block 5 have arc-shaped grooves inside. The base 1 has symmetrically arranged support legs on both sides, and a rotating mechanism is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 1. The rotating mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder 6 and a hinge seat 7. Hydraulic cylinders 6 are symmetrically hinged to both sides of the base 1, and the output ends of the hydraulic cylinders 6 are fixedly connected to the hinge seats 7. The output ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 6 are respectively hinged to the two sides of the bottom of the rotating plate 3 through the hinge seats 7. A top block 18 is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate 3, and a support rod 17 is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the base 1. The top block 18 and the support rod 17 are vertically parallel. The hydraulic cylinders 6... The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the hinge seat 7 to move upward. The hinge seat 7 drives the rotating plate 3 to rotate counterclockwise around the top of the fixed rod 2, so as to separate the upper clamping block 4 from the lower clamping block 5. The liquefied gas cylinder can be taken out from above the base 1 or placed inside the lower clamping block 5. When the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the hinge seat 7 to move downward, the hinge seat 7 drives the rotating plate 3 to rotate clockwise around the top of the fixed rod 2, so as to make the upper clamping block 4 suspend above the lower clamping block 5. The bottom end of the top block 18 contacts the top end of the support rod 17. The support rod 17 and the top block 18 cooperate to support the rotating plate 3 and the upper clamping block 4.
[0021] The lifting mechanism includes a threaded sleeve 12, a worm gear 13, and a threaded rod 19. The top of the base 1 is symmetrically and rotatably connected to the threaded sleeve 12, and the threaded rod 19 is threadedly connected inside the threaded sleeve 12. The top end of the threaded rod 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower clamping block 5. Worms 16 are symmetrically and rotatably connected to both sides of the base 1. The worms 16 mesh with the outer wall of the worm gear 13. A rotary motor 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the base 1. The output end of the rotary motor 14 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the worms 16. The two worms 16 are fixedly connected to each other by a connecting rod 15, which connects the two worms 16 into one unit. The output of the rotary motor 14... The output end is connected to one of the worm gears 16, so that the rotary motor 14 can drive both worm gears 16 to rotate simultaneously. The worm gear 16 meshes with the worm wheel 13. The threaded sleeve 12 is fixed to the worm wheel 13 as a whole, which is used to drive the two threaded sleeves 12 to rotate simultaneously. The threaded sleeve 12 is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 19, and the two threaded rods 19 limit each other. The threaded rod 19 is fixed to the lower clamping block 5 as a whole, which can drive the lower clamping block 5 to move up and down reciprocally. The forward and reverse rotation of the rotary motor 14 can control the direction of movement of the lower clamping block 5, so that the lower clamping block 5 automatically rises or falls, driving the lower clamping block 5 to move to the upper clamping block 4 to clamp the liquefied gas cylinder, or driving the liquefied gas cylinder on the lower clamping block 5 to separate from the upper clamping block 4 and remove it.
[0022] The pressurization mechanism includes a water pump 8, a water supply pipe 9, a metal hose 10, and a pressure gauge 11. The water pump 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating plate 3. The input end of the water pump 8 is connected to the water supply pipe 9, and the output end of the water pump 8 is connected to the metal hose 10. A pressure gauge 11 is installed at one end of the metal hose 10. One end of the pressure gauge 11 is connected to the valve of the liquefied gas cylinder. One end of the water supply pipe 9 is connected to an external water source. The water pump 8 draws water through the water supply pipe 9 and delivers the water into the interior of the liquefied gas cylinder through the metal hose 10 to inject water and pressurize the interior of the liquefied gas cylinder. The pressure change inside the liquefied gas cylinder is observed through the pressure gauge 11. After the pressure inside the liquefied gas cylinder reaches a certain value, it enters the pressure holding stage. The deformation and leakage of the cylinder under long-term pressure are observed through the change in the value of the pressure gauge 11.
[0023] In this liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder water pressure testing equipment, when the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the hinge seat 7 to move downward, the hinge seat 7 drives the rotating plate 3 to rotate clockwise around the top of the fixed rod 2, thereby suspending the upper clamping block 4 above the lower clamping block 5. The rotary motor 14 can simultaneously drive the two worm gears 16 to rotate. The worm gears 16 mesh with the worm wheel 13, and the threaded sleeve 12 is fixed to the worm wheel 13 as a whole, thereby driving the two threaded sleeves 12 to rotate simultaneously. The threaded sleeves 12 are threadedly engaged with the threaded rods 19, and the two threaded rods 19 limit each other. The threaded rods 19 are fixed to the lower clamping block 5 as a whole, which can drive the lower clamping block 5 to move upward, thereby driving the lower clamping block 5 to move upward to clamp the LPG cylinder. This solves the problem in the existing technology that LPG cylinders are bulky, difficult to move flexibly, require transportation and fastening, and are inconvenient for further water pressure testing.
