Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the flow durability testing system of this utility model includes a frame 1, an air compressor 2, a water chiller 3, a heat dissipation device 4, a test tube, a differential pressure sensor 61, a temperature and humidity sensor 62, a pressure sensor 63, a flow sensor 64, a back pressure valve 7, and a silencer 8. The air compressor 2 is used to generate pressurized gas. The air compressor 2 is a water-cooled type. The water chiller 3 is connected to the air compressor 2 via a pipe. The water chiller 3 supplies cooling water to the air compressor 2 and simultaneously cools the cooling water after absorbing heat from the air compressor 2, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the air compressor 2. The output end of the air compressor 2 is connected to the input end of the heat dissipation device 4 via a connecting pipe 50. The heat dissipation device 4 is used to dissipate heat from the gas generated by the air compressor 2. The heat dissipation device 4 typically uses an air-cooled heat exchanger, employing conventional equipment to reduce costs. The heat dissipation device 4 is detachably connected to the test tube, and the test tube is connected to the silencer 8 via the back pressure valve 7.

[0022] Specifically, the test tube includes a test inlet pipe 51 and a test outlet pipe 52. The output end of the heat dissipation device 4 is connected to the test inlet pipe 51 via a connecting pipe 50. The pressure sensor 63 and the temperature and humidity sensor 62 are both installed on the test inlet pipe 51. The test inlet pipe 51 is connected to the air inlet end of the product under test 9. The test inlet pipe 51 is used to introduce gas into the product under test 9. The pressure sensor 63 is used to detect the air pressure inside the test inlet pipe 51 so as to understand the pressure at the air inlet end of the product under test 9 in real time. The temperature and humidity sensor 62 is used to detect the temperature and humidity inside the test inlet pipe 51 so as to understand the temperature and humidity of the product under test 9 in real time, thereby understanding the usage of the product under test 9 under the given temperature and humidity. The test outlet pipe 52 is connected to the outlet end of the product under test 9. The test outlet pipe 52 is equipped with a pressure sensor 63, a temperature and humidity sensor 62, and a flow sensor 64. The pressure sensor 63 is used to detect the air pressure in the test outlet pipe 52 to understand the pressure at the outlet end of the product under test 9 in real time. It also uses the pressure difference between the test inlet pipe 51 and the test outlet pipe 52 to determine the pressure difference after the gas passes through the product under test 9. The temperature and humidity sensor 62 is used to detect the temperature and humidity in the test outlet pipe 52 to understand the temperature and humidity of the gas passing through the product under test 9 in real time. This allows for understanding the usage of the product under test 9 under these temperature and humidity conditions. It also uses the temperature and humidity differences before and after the product under test to determine whether the product under test 9 will affect the temperature and humidity. The flow sensor 64 is located between the back pressure valve 7 and the product under test 9. The flow sensor 64 is used to detect the gas flow rate after passing through the product under test 9 to understand whether the gas flow rate after passing through the product under test 9 meets the corresponding requirements in real time. The differential pressure sensor 61 is connected to both the test inlet pipe 51 and the test outlet pipe 52 to detect the pressure difference between them, thereby achieving the detection of the pressure difference before and after the tested product 9. This dual protection ensures the accuracy of the pressure difference detection before and after the tested product 9. The back pressure valve 7 typically has its own flange and pipe, so it is fixed to the test outlet pipe 52, and the silencer 8 is fixed to the back pressure valve 7. The back pressure valve 7 is used to adjust the back pressure of the test outlet pipe 52 to simulate different working conditions, thereby testing the adaptability and stability of the tested product 9 under different back pressures. The silencer 8 is used to discharge gas and reduce noise during exhaust. The air compressor 2, the heat dissipation device 4, the test inlet pipe 51, the test outlet pipe 52, and the silencer 8 are all mounted on the frame 1. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the front end refers to the side through which the gas passes first, and the rear end refers to the side through which the gas passes last.

[0023] Both the test inlet pipe 51 and the test outlet pipe 52 are made of rigid pipes, which facilitates the installation of differential pressure sensor 61, temperature and humidity sensor 62, pressure sensor 63 and flow sensor 64. At the same time, it is also convenient to set flanges at the rear end of the test inlet pipe 51 and the front end of the test outlet pipe 52 to facilitate the installation of the product under test 9. It is also convenient to set flanges at the rear end of the test outlet pipe 52 to facilitate fixing with the flange of the back pressure valve 7.

[0024] The connecting pipe 50 connecting the test air intake pipe 51 to the output end of the heat dissipation device 4 is typically a flexible hose. Using a flexible hose to connect the heat dissipation device 4 and the test air intake pipe 51 allows for installation even if the heat dissipation device 4 and the test air intake pipe 51 are not on the same straight line, facilitating the connection and reducing the requirements for their installation positions. The front end of the test air intake pipe 51 is equipped with a flange, and the flexible hose is fixed to the connecting plate 53 with a pipe opening 531 using cable ties or clamps or other fasteners. The structure of the connecting plate 53 is as follows... Figure 3 As shown.

[0025] The connecting pipe 50 connecting the output end of the air compressor 2 and the input end of the heat dissipation device 4 is a flexible hose. The flexible hose is fixed to the output end of the air compressor 2 and the input end of the heat dissipation device 4 by cable ties or clamps or other fasteners. By using a flexible hose to connect the air compressor 2 and the heat dissipation device 4, it is possible to install the heat dissipation device 4 and the air compressor 2 even if they are not on the same straight line. This makes it easier to connect the heat dissipation device 4 and the air compressor 2 and reduces the requirements for the installation position of the heat dissipation device 4 and the air compressor 2.

[0026] The frame 1 includes four independent frames: a first frame 11, a second frame 12, a third frame 13, and a fourth frame 14. The air compressor 2 and the water chiller 3 are both mounted on the first frame 11, which is equipped with self-locking pulleys 17. These allow for easy movement of the water chiller 3 and the air compressor 2 when needed, and also provide stability during use. The heat dissipation device 4 is fixed to the second frame 12, which is also equipped with self-locking pulleys 17. This allows for movement of the heat dissipation device 4 when needed, and also provides stability during use. The test inlet pipe 51, the test outlet pipe 52, the differential pressure sensor 61, and the back pressure valve 7 are all fixed to the third frame 13, which is also equipped with self-locking pulleys 17. This allows for movement of the test inlet pipe 51, the test outlet pipe 52, the differential pressure sensor 61, and the back pressure valve 7 when needed, and also provides stability during use. The muffler 8 is fixed to the fourth frame 14, which is equipped with a self-locking pulley 17. This allows the muffler 8 to be moved when needed, while also fixing its position during use. Dividing the frame 1 into multiple independent frames facilitates the movement of corresponding components, enabling them to be moved to the maintenance station when repair or replacement is required.

[0027] The test intake pipe 51 is fixed to the third frame 13 by a fixing bracket 15, the test exhaust pipe 52 is fixed to the third frame 13 by a fixing bracket 15, and the back pressure valve 7 is fixed to the third frame 13 by a fixing bracket 15. The bracket on the test intake pipe 51 is located on the other side where the test intake pipe 51 connects to the differential pressure sensor 61 to avoid interference with the differential pressure sensor 61. A mounting bracket 16 is provided on the third frame 13, and the differential pressure sensor 61 is fixed to the mounting bracket 16.

[0028] During testing, the air compressor 2 starts to generate gas at a certain pressure. The generated gas enters the heat dissipation device 4 through the connecting pipe 50 for heat dissipation. The heat dissipation device 4 cools the gas to a predetermined temperature before discharging it. The gas is then sent to the test inlet pipe 51 through the connecting pipe 50. The pressure sensor 63 and the temperature and humidity sensor 62 detect the pressure, temperature and humidity in the test inlet pipe 51 in real time to reflect the pressure, temperature and humidity at the inlet end of the tested product 9. After passing through the tested product 9, the gas enters the test outlet pipe 52. The pressure sensor 63, the temperature and humidity sensor 62 and the flow sensor 64 detect the pressure, temperature, humidity and flow rate in the test outlet pipe 52 in real time to reflect the pressure, temperature, humidity and flow rate after passing through the tested product 9. At the same time, the differential pressure sensor 61 measures the pressure difference between the test inlet pipe 51 and the test outlet pipe 52 in real time to reflect the pressure difference between the inlet end and the outlet end of the tested product 9 in real time. Finally, the gas enters the silencer 8 and is discharged after passing through the back pressure valve 7. When different operating conditions need to be tested, the opening of the back pressure valve 7 is adjusted to adjust the back pressure in order to simulate different operating conditions.

Any equivalent structure made using the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, whether directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, shall also be within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
