[0026] Figures 1 to 6 This invention illustrates a safety valve calibration gas supply device according to one embodiment of the present invention. This device can provide stable gas pressure to a safety valve 400 under test. It may include a gas source supply device 100 for supplying high-pressure gas, a gas storage tank device 200 connected to the gas source supply device 100 and used to store high-pressure gas, and a valve fixing device 300 connected to the gas storage tank device 200 and used to fix the safety valve 400 under test. The valve fixing device 300 includes a fixing frame 380, a buffer container 310 mounted on the fixing frame and connected to the gas storage tank device 200 via its gas path, a fixing clamping assembly 370 for clamping and fixing the safety valve 400 under test, a first switching valve 360 ​​mounted on the buffer container 310 and connected to the safety valve via its gas path, and an adjusting unit mounted on the gas path for adjusting the gas pressure.

[0027] The gas supply device 100, the gas storage tank device 200, and the valve fixing device 300 are connected in sequence through connecting pipes. The gas supply device 100 supplies high-pressure gas into the gas storage tank device 200. After the gas in the gas storage tank device 200 reaches the specified pressure, the safety valve 400 to be tested is placed on the fixing clamping assembly 370 and fixed. The safety valve 400 to be tested is then opened, and the first switch valve 360 ​​is opened. Then, the high-pressure gas is transported through the gas storage tank device 200 to the buffer container 310 and then from the buffer container 310 to the safety valve 400 to be tested, providing a stable and accurate gas pressure.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the gas supply device 100 supplies gas at a pressure of 260-300 bar.g into the gas storage tank device 200.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, a temperature sensor is provided inside the gas storage tank device 200, which can accurately measure the temperature of the high-pressure gas inside the gas storage tank device 200.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the gas supply device 100 is provided with a first pressure switch 110 and a second pressure switch 120. The first pressure switch 110 is used to control the generated gas pressure, and the second pressure switch 120 is used to control the output gas pressure.

[0031] Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixed clamping assembly 370, as shown in one embodiment, may include a mounting base 373 disposed on the fixed frame 380 for mounting a safety valve, and a clamping assembly for applying pressure to the safety valve 400 under test toward the mounting base 373. One end of the mounting base 373 away from the safety valve is connected to the air passage of the buffer container 310. The safety valve is connected to the air passage of the buffer container 310 through the mounting base 373. The clamping assembly applies pressure to the safety valve 400 under test, thereby fixing the safety valve 400 under test onto the mounting base 373.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, a first safety valve 350 is provided in the air connection between the buffer container 310 and the mounting base 373. The safety pressure of the first safety valve 350 is higher than the pressure detected by the safety valve 400 under test. The first safety valve 350 can be used to prevent the safety valve 400 under test from being damaged by sudden high pressure.

[0033] Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixed clamping assembly 370 is shown in one embodiment to include a sealing gasket 410 at the contact point between the safety valve 400 under test and the mounting base 373. The sealing gasket 410 can fill the gap between the safety valve 400 under test and the mounting base 373, thereby improving the sealing performance between the safety valve 400 under test and the mounting base 373.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the sealing gasket 410 can be an elastic material such as rubber or polyurethane.

[0035] Figures 1 to 4 The valve fixing device 300, as shown in one embodiment, may include a filter 320 for filtering airborne impurities and a first pressure gauge 330 for detecting the pressure within the air passage between the safety valve 400 under test and the buffer container 310. The filter 320 filters out airborne impurities, preventing them from entering the safety valve 400 under test and ensuring that the test results of the safety valve 400 are not abnormal. The first pressure gauge 330 detects the gas pressure within the buffer container 310, thereby detecting the gas pressure within the safety valve 400 under test.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the buffer container 310 is a gas storage bottle 210 with a capacity of 60L.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, a branch switch valve 340 is further provided in the gas path between the buffer container 310 and the mounting base 373, and the branch switch valve 340 is used to supply corresponding gas to other circuits.

[0038] Figures 1 to 4 The clamping assembly is shown in one embodiment as a worm gear drive device, wherein the worm gear 372 of the worm gear drive device is provided with a handwheel 371 connected to the worm gear 372; by shaking the worm gear 372 through the handwheel 371, the screw is controlled to extend onto the safety valve 400 to be tested, thereby fixing the safety valve 400 to be tested onto the mounting base 373.

[0039] Figure 1 and Figure 6 The gas storage tank device 200 is shown in one embodiment to include the regulating unit as a pilot-operated pressure regulating valve 250. The pilot-operated pressure regulating valve 250 regulates the gas flow rate by controlling the opening degree of the opening and closing element in the valve body, thereby reducing the gas pressure. At the same time, it regulates the opening degree of the opening and closing element by means of the downstream pressure, so that the downstream pressure is maintained within a certain range. Even when the inlet pressure is constantly changing, the outlet pressure is kept within the set range.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the gas supply device 100 supplies a gas pressure of 260-300 bar.g, and can stably output a gas pressure of 139 bar.g through a pilot-operated regulating valve.

[0041] Figure 5 The gas storage tank device 200, as shown in one embodiment, may include a plurality of gas cylinders 210, a manifold 211 connected in parallel with the plurality of gas cylinders 210, and a second switching valve 240 disposed at the output end of the manifold 211. The second switching valve 240 can control the gas output of the gas storage tank device 200, and the parallel manifold 211 can output the gas from the plurality of gas cylinders 210 evenly, without the situation where one gas cylinder 210 is output first and then the other gas cylinders 210 are output, thus ensuring the stability of gas transmission.

[0042] Figure 5 In one embodiment, the gas storage tank device 200 may include a pressure reducing valve and a second pressure gauge 220 on the manifold 211 where the second switching valve 240 is located. The second pressure gauge 220 can detect the gas pressure in the gas storage tank, and the pressure reducing valve can adjust the output gas pressure.

[0043] Figure 5The gas storage tank device 200 shown in one embodiment may include a storage frame, which has several layers, with several gas storage cylinders 210 arranged in each layer. The manifold 211 is arranged in the middle of the several layers of gas storage cylinders 210. The multi-layer design can reduce the area occupied by storage.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, there are six gas storage cylinders 210, arranged in several layers, with three on the top and three on the bottom.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the gas storage tank device 200 is provided with a second safety valve 230. The safety pressure of the second safety valve 230 is higher than the rated pressure of the gas storage tank device 200. The second safety valve 230 can be used to prevent the gas storage cylinder 210 from being damaged by sudden high pressure.

[0046] Figure 2 and Figure 5 The gas supply device 100, the gas tank device 200, and the valve fixing device 300 are shown in one embodiment. Each of the gas supply device 100, the gas tank device 200, and the valve fixing device 300 may have a plurality of casters 390 with brakes and feet 391 at their bottom. The casters 390 allow the gas supply device 100, the gas tank device 200, and the valve fixing device 300 to be moved freely to a designated position. The brakes stop the casters 390 from rotating, bringing the gas supply device 100, the gas tank device 200, and the valve fixing device 300 to a stop in place. Then, by adjusting the height of the feet 391, the gas supply device 100, the gas tank device 200, and the valve fixing device 300 can be fixed in the designated position.

[0047] It is understood that the above embodiments only illustrate preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
