Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for testing the airtightness of an electromagnetic valve used in the blood separation process, and belongs to the field of electromagnetic valves. Background Technology

[0002] The solenoid valve is a key component of the blood component separator. Its function is to work with the monitoring unit and consumables to control the flow of blood and, together with other components, to complete the circulation and separation of blood in the equipment according to the separator's programmed settings.

[0003] The solenoid valve is in contact with the diaphragm layer of the monitoring unit box. Outside the diaphragm layer is flowing blood. The solenoid valve is installed on the lower layer of the control panel. Above the control panel are saline solution, blood preservation solution and blood. There is a risk of liquid leakage. The circuit board of the equipment is directly below the solenoid valve. If liquid leakage occurs, it may leak along the gap of the solenoid valve to the circuit board of the equipment, causing a short circuit, which may lead to equipment failure or even fire. This requires the solenoid valve to have good waterproof performance.

[0004] The solenoid valve used in the blood component separator consists of an iron core, a return spring, a spring seat, and a housing. The solenoid valve is installed in a fixed position where the thread at the bottom of the spring seat locks with the equipment. Based on its structural features and installation position, there are four possible points of liquid leakage: the first is the contact area between the iron core and the return spring stop; the second is the contact area between the spring seat and the iron core; the third is the threaded locking area between the solenoid valve and the equipment housing; and the fourth is the contact surface between the housing and the spring seat. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the problems described in the background, the problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a solenoid valve airtightness testing device for use in the blood separation process. This device is used to detect whether the airtightness of the solenoid valve meets the requirements and the airtightness of the places where liquid leakage may occur.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A solenoid valve airtightness testing device for blood separation processes is provided, comprising a pressure gauge, a sealed housing, a sealing plate, a sealing port, a rubber threaded port, an upper plate, an upper plate opening, a lower plate, a lower plate opening, a suction pipe, a vacuum negative pressure pump, and a plug. The sealed housing is square in shape. A pressure gauge is installed on the upper surface of the sealed housing, and the pressure gauge's pipe is connected to the inside of the sealed housing. The sealing plate is installed on the lower surface of the sealed housing, completely covering the lower surface. A sealing port is provided in the middle of the sealing plate, and a rubber threaded port is fixedly installed on the sealing port. An upper plate is installed tightly against the upper surface of the sealing plate, and an upper plate opening is provided in the middle of the upper plate, concentric with the sealing port. A lower plate is installed tightly against the lower surface of the sealing plate, and a lower plate opening is provided in the middle of the lower plate, concentric with the sealing port. One end of the suction pipe is connected to the inside of the sealed housing, and the other end of the suction pipe is connected to the vacuum negative pressure pump. A plug is installed at the sealing port.

[0007] Preferably, the solenoid valve includes an iron core, a return spring, a spring seat, and a housing. The spring seat is concentrically mounted on the upper end face of the housing, and the return spring is concentrically mounted on the upper end face of the spring seat. The iron core is installed inside the return spring, the spring seat, and the housing. This solenoid valve is a specially designed solenoid valve used in blood component separators.

[0008] Preferably, the diameter of the rubber thread is smaller than the diameter of the spring seat, and the thread design of the rubber thread matches the spring rotation design of the spring seat. This ensures that the spring seat of the solenoid valve is tightly installed in the rubber thread, guaranteeing an interference fit.

[0009] Preferably, the sealing housing is made of transparent acrylic; the sealing plate is made of 304 stainless steel; and the upper plate, lower plate, and rubber threaded joint are made of soft rubber, which can ensure the best possible sealing performance of the entire device.

[0010] Preferably, the diameter of the upper plate opening is smaller than the diameter of the return spring, ensuring that the return spring of the solenoid valve is interference-fitted with the upper plate opening, thus ensuring airtightness.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the lower plate opening is smaller than the maximum diameter of the housing to ensure an interference fit between the housing of the solenoid valve and the lower plate opening, thus ensuring airtightness.

[0012] Preferably, the plug is a type consisting of an upper plate opening, a rubber threaded opening, and a lower plate opening, which can ensure the airtightness of the device when there is no solenoid valve.

[0013] Working principle: Before use, insert the plugs into the upper plate opening, rubber threaded opening, and lower plate opening. Then, calibrate the airtightness of the entire device. First, start the vacuum negative pressure pump to extract the gas in the sealed box until the pressure gauge shows 1 / 5 atmosphere and maintains this for 3 minutes. If there is no change in the pressure gauge reading, the equipment is airtight and can be tested for airtightness of the solenoid valve. Then, remove the plugs and install the solenoid valve into the upper plate opening, rubber threaded opening, and lower plate opening. After confirming that it is locked, start the vacuum negative pressure pump to extract the gas in the sealed box until the pressure gauge shows 1 / 5 atmosphere and maintains this for 3 minutes. If there is no change in the pressure gauge reading, the solenoid valve is airtight. The tested areas all involve the contact parts between the iron core and the return spring stop, the contact parts between the spring seat and the iron core, the threaded locking parts between the solenoid valve and the equipment housing, and the contact surface between the housing and the spring seat.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. The entire sealed box is made of acrylic material, which is durable and allows for observation of the actual internal conditions, facilitating timely responses.

[0016] 2. The diameters of the upper plate opening, the rubber threaded opening, and the lower plate opening are all smaller than the diameter of the corresponding part of the solenoid valve. This ensures an interference fit, guarantees airtightness, and prevents air leakage.

[0017] 3. After the entire device has been inspected and the solenoid valves are properly tested, it can be ensured that the airtightness of the solenoid valves meets the standards, preventing equipment failures or even safety accidents caused by solenoid valve leakage. Attached Figure Description

The pressure gauge 1 is installed on the upper surface of the sealed housing 2, and the pipe of the pressure gauge 1 is connected to the inside of the sealed housing 2. The sealing plate 3 is installed on the lower surface of the sealed housing 2, and the sealed housing 2 completely covers the lower surface of the sealed housing 2.

[0027] The diameter of the rubber threaded opening 5 is smaller than the diameter of the spring seat 15, and the thread design of the rubber threaded opening 5 matches the spring rotation design of the spring seat 15. This ensures that the spring seat 15 of the solenoid valve is tightly installed in the rubber threaded opening 5, guaranteeing an interference fit.

[0031] The plug 12 is composed of an upper plate opening 7, a rubber threaded opening 5, and a lower plate opening 9, which can ensure the airtightness of the device when there is no solenoid valve.

[0032] Before use, insert the plug 12 into the upper plate opening 7, the rubber threaded opening 5, and the lower plate opening 9. Then, calibrate the airtightness of the entire device. First, start the vacuum negative pressure pump 11 to extract the gas in the sealed box 2, so that the pressure gauge 1 displays 1 / 5 of the atmospheric pressure and maintains it for 3 minutes. If there is no change in the reading of the pressure gauge 1, it proves that the airtightness of the equipment is qualified, and the airtightness of the solenoid valve can be tested. Then, remove the plug 12, install the solenoid valve into the upper plate opening 7, the rubber threaded opening 5, and the lower plate opening 9, and after confirming that it is locked, start the vacuum negative pressure pump 11 to extract the gas in the sealed box 2, so that the pressure gauge 1 displays 1 / 5 of the atmospheric pressure and maintains it for 3 minutes.
