Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rail vehicle technology, specifically to a tooling for testing the water tightness of rail vehicle water tanks. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the rail vehicle industry, the types of rail vehicles are increasing, and the number of water tanks matched on board is also increasing, such as small water tanks for storing hot and cold water and glass cleaning water. At the same time, the requirements for pressure resistance, lifespan, and safety and leak prevention of such water tanks are becoming increasingly higher.

[0003] Currently, most of the small water tanks for rail vehicles are custom-made stainless steel welded products. Before leaving the factory, they must undergo airtightness or watertightness tests. This requires the use of testing instruments or tooling to pressurize and maintain the pressure of the entire water tank, check for leaks in each weld and interface, and promptly repair or rework any leaks. Ultimately, the water tank must be guaranteed to have qualified sealing performance to ensure safe operation.

[0004] For example, most of the small water tanks on existing rail vehicles use air tightness testing, which involves filling the tank with air and maintaining pressure. Air testing is relatively safe, and the testing instruments are simple in structure. However, with the increasing acceptance standards for rail vehicle products and the requirement to simulate near-actual use conditions, the use of water injection pressure testing has been proposed. This places greater technical demands on the structure of the testing instruments. It is particularly urgent to design a water tank water tightness testing fixture with a specific structure that effectively matches the technical, environmental, and safety requirements of water injection testing, ensures that it does not leak, maintains stable pressure values, is easy to find leaks, optimizes its versatility, and reduces the difficulty and workload for workers.

[0005] Therefore, to meet practical needs, a tooling for testing the water tightness of rail vehicle water tanks is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0045] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a water tightness testing fixture for a rail vehicle water tank, the testing fixture comprising:

[0046] A pressure-holding mobile trolley 1 is provided, and a test circulating water storage tank 3 is installed inside the pressure-holding mobile trolley 1. A transparent return water observation hose 17, a water inlet pipe 19, and a return water pipe 21 are connected to the top surface of the test circulating water storage tank 3.

[0053] The first end of the return water pipe 21 is connected to the inside of the test circulating water storage tank 3, and the second end of the return water pipe 21 is connected to the second end of the return water valve 10;

[0054] The first end of the return water valve 10 is connected to the first shut-off valve 7 and the electronically controlled digital display precision pressure gauge 8, and is equipped with a pressure-resistant hose 11. The free end of the pressure-resistant hose 11 is equipped with a special water injection connector 14.

[0055] One end of the transparent return water observation hose 17 is connected to the interior of the test circulating water storage tank 3, and the free end of the transparent return water observation hose 17 is sequentially connected to the second shut-off valve 16 and the special water outlet connector 15.

[0056] In this embodiment, a combination of pressurizing equipment and a water tank, along with auxiliary components, is used to meet the water tightness and pressure retention test requirements of water tank products on rail vehicles.

[0057] Furthermore, the length of the flange extension pipe 20 is inside the test circulating water storage tank 3.

[0058] Furthermore, the test circulating water storage tank 3 is placed at the bottom inside the pressure-maintaining mobile trolley 1.

[0059] Furthermore, the operating height of the dedicated water inlet connector 14 is lower than that of the dedicated water outlet connector 15;

[0060] The operating height is the vertical height when connected to the water tank to be tested.

[0061] That is, as shown in the attached diagram of the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown, the dedicated water inlet connector 14 is connected to the bottom of the water tank to be tested, while the dedicated water outlet connector 15 is connected to the top of the water tank to be tested.

[0062] More specifically, the dedicated water inlet connector 14 is connected to the lowest point of the water tank to be tested, while the dedicated water outlet connector 15 is connected to the highest point of the water tank to be tested.

[0063] Based on the technical solution of this application, the specific implementation is as follows:

[0064] As shown in the attached diagram of the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the rail vehicle water tank water tightness testing fixture includes: a pressure-holding mobile trolley 1, a pressure-pressurizing electrical module 2, a test water tank support frame 12, and various transmission pipelines and connectors.

[0065] The pressure-maintaining mobile trolley 1 has two layers: the upper layer is enclosed and holds tools and spare parts such as pipe fittings, while the lower layer is open and holds the test circulating water storage tank 3.

[0066] Furthermore, the test circulating water storage tank 3 has a capacity of 20L, which meets the requirements of a small test water tank. The top of the storage tank has three round openings, which are respectively connected to the water inlet pipe 19, the return water pipe 21, and the transparent return water observation hose 17. A drain ball valve 18 is installed at the bottom of the storage tank.

[0067] Furthermore, the lower end of the water supply pipe is connected to a flange extension pipe 20, which is inserted into the water storage tank to ensure that water is drawn from the bottom of the water storage tank during water supply, thus ensuring continuous water supply and preventing the tank from running dry.

[0068] Furthermore, the pressure testing electrical module 2 draws test water from the water storage tank;

[0069] The pressure testing electrical module 2 is installed on the upper surface of the pressure-holding mobile trolley 1 and includes: an electrical control cabinet 4, an electric low-flow test pump 5, a PP cotton filter 6, a first shut-off valve 7, an electronically controlled digital display precision pressure gauge 8, a signal circuit 9, and a return water valve 10.

[0070] Furthermore, the electrical control cabinet 4 is an electrical control system that controls the switching and operation of the electric low-flow test pump 5 and receives the overpressure feedback signal from the electronically controlled digital display precision pressure gauge 8. The electrical control cabinet 4 is equipped with indicator lights, a power switch, a jog switch, a linkage switch, a stop switch, and an emergency stop switch.

[0071] Furthermore, the test water tank support frame 12 is used to support and fix the test water tank 13, and the test water tank 13 is required to be higher than the pressure electrical module 2 so that after the test, the water in the tank and pipeline can flow back to the storage tank smoothly by means of the height difference, so as to empty the water in the test water tank 13, while ensuring that the water in the storage tank can be recycled.

[0072] Furthermore, after the electrical control system starts running, the electric low-flow test pressure pump 5 continuously draws test water from the bottom test circulating water storage tank 3. After passing through the PP cotton filter 6, the first shut-off valve 7, the electronically controlled digital display precision pressure gauge 8, the pressure-resistant hose 11, and the special water injection connector 14, the water is injected into the test water tank 13. The injection continues until the test water tank 13 is gradually full.

[0073] Furthermore, during the water injection process, the second shut-off valve 16 is in the open state, and the residual air in the test water tank 13 is discharged through the dedicated water outlet connector 15, the second shut-off valve 16, and the transparent return water observation hose 17.

[0074] Furthermore, when water flow is observed in the transparent return water observation hose 17, it indicates that the test water tank 13 is full and the residual air has been expelled, at which point the test conditions are initially met.

[0075] Furthermore, the second shut-off valve 16 is turned off, and the pressure-pressurizing electrical module 2 begins to continuously pressurize the test water tank 13. The value of the electronically controlled digital display precision pressure gauge 8 is observed. When the pressure rises to the required pressure holding value, the first shut-off valve 7 is closed. At this time, a pressure holding test is performed, and a reasonable pressure drop range is allowed within the specified time.

[0076] Furthermore, the electronically controlled digital display precision pressure gauge 8 is used to display the pressure value during the water tank pressure test. It has an accuracy class of 0.5 and a range of 0 to 1 MPa. It also has overpressure protection. When the inlet water pressure exceeds the limit value, it sends a stop signal to the electrical control box 4 through the signal circuit 9 to stop the operation of the electric low-flow test pump 5, so as to protect the test water tank 13 and prevent the test water tank 13 from being deformed due to overpressure.

[0077] Furthermore, after the pressure holding test is completed, the return water valve 10 and the second shut-off valve 16 are opened to allow the water in the test water tank 13 and pipeline to flow back into the test circulating water storage tank 3. One end of the return water valve 10 is connected to the return water pipe 21, and the end of the return water pipe 21 is inserted into the storage tank. Finally, the water in the test water tank 13 is drained, and the test ends.

[0078] The above operations are used to achieve the pressure holding test requirements for the water tightness detection of rail vehicle water tanks.
