AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the airtightness testing of riser tubes takes a long time, resulting in low testing efficiency and inaccurate results, making it difficult to effectively identify defects such as fine cracks or non-dense structures.
The riser pipe is sealed at both ends by a plug and piston structure. Compressed gas is introduced into the riser pipe through an air inlet and a connecting pipe. The pressure is controlled by a one-way valve, which drives the piston to extend inward to accelerate the bubble generation rate. Combined with a pressure gauge and a driving device, the continuous overflow of bubbles and the determination of the leakage point are achieved.
It greatly shortens the detection time, improves detection efficiency and accuracy, and makes it easier to observe bubbles and determine the location of leaks.

Rotating hand wheel 421 can drive plug rod 42 to move along the length direction of liquid lift pipe body 2, to further push plug head 41 to move.
[0034] Air pressure gauge 33 is also installed on communication pipe 3, and air pressure gauge 33 can detect the air pressure value in liquid lift pipe body 2 through communication pipe 3.
[0035] Two top rods 13 are also threadedly connected to the side surface of the water tank 1 on the side of the threaded connection of the piston 4, the two top rods 13 are symmetrically arranged about the piston 4, one end of the top rod 13 is arranged outside the water tank 1, the other end is arranged inside the water tank 1, and a rubber top block 131 is fixedly connected to the end arranged inside the water tank 1, rotating the top rod 13 can move the top rod 13 towards the liquid lifting pipe body 2, and the top block 131 can abut against the liquid lifting pipe body 2 to tightly push the liquid lifting pipe body 2, making the liquid lifting pipe body 2 and the plug seal more tightly, avoiding leakage at the plug seal 11 to affect the detection. The two top rods 13 are symmetrically arranged about the piston 4, which can make the liquid lifting pipe body 2 be more tightly pushed, avoiding uneven stress and causing the liquid lifting pipe body 2 to be inclined.
[0036] Two support blocks 12 are also arranged in the water tank 1, the support blocks 12 are welded to the bottom of the water tank 1, and an arc-shaped notch matching the liquid lifting pipe body 2 is formed in the support block 12 to support the liquid lifting pipe body 2, ensuring that the liquid lifting pipe body 2 and the piston 4 can keep parallel and coaxial.
[0037] Detection process: first, adjust the one-way valve 31 to the appropriate opening pressure, then fill compressed gas into the liquid lifting pipe body 2 through the inflation port 32, so that the gas pressure value in the liquid lifting pipe body 2 is not greater than the opening pressure of the one-way valve 31.
[0038] Then add water to the water tank 1 so that the water covers the liquid lifting pipe body 2.
[0039] Secondly, rotate the hand wheel 421 to drive the piston 4 to move along the liquid lifting pipe body 2, so that the plug head 41 extends into the liquid lifting pipe body 2 towards the plug seal 11, and in the driving process, the piston 4 will continuously compress the sealing space in the liquid lifting pipe body 2, thereby increasing the gas pressure value in the liquid lifting pipe body 2, when the gas pressure value in the liquid lifting pipe body 2 is greater than or equal to the opening pressure, the one-way valve 31 opens, and the pressure value rises, which also speeds up the leakage speed of the tiny cracks on the surface of the liquid lifting pipe body 2, thereby continuously driving the piston 4, which can speed up the generation of bubbles, so that the bubbles can continuously overflow, making it easier to observe, greatly shortening the time of the liquid lifting pipe body 2 air tightness detection, improving the detection efficiency of the liquid lifting pipe body 2, and making the detection result more accurate.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the end of the plug rod 42 extending out of the water tank 1 is coaxially connected with a driving device 422 through a shaft coupling, the driving device 422 is an electric motor for driving the rotation of the plug rod 42, a supporting table 5 is arranged below the driving device 422, the supporting table 5 is fixed on the ground, a sliding groove 51 is formed in the supporting table 5, the sliding groove 51 is parallel to the plug rod 42, and the driving device 422 is slidably connected with the supporting table 5 through the sliding groove 51. When the driving device 422 drives the rotation of the plug rod 42, the plug rod 42 also moves along the direction of the liquid lifting pipe body 2, and the driving device 422 is also driven to move along the sliding groove 51. The driving device 422 can drive the piston 4 to move at a constant speed.
[0042] Detection process: first, adjust the one-way valve 31 to the appropriate opening pressure, then fill the compressed gas into the liquid lifting pipe body 2 through the inflation port 32, so that the gas pressure value in the liquid lifting pipe body 2 is not greater than the opening pressure of the one-way valve 31.
[0043] Then add water to the water tank 1, so that the water covers the liquid lifting pipe body 2.
[0044] Secondly, the driving device 422 is started, the piston 4 is driven to move at a constant speed along the direction of the liquid lifting pipe body 2, the plug head 41 extends into the liquid lifting pipe body 2 in the direction of the sealing plug 11, and the piston 4 continuously compresses the sealed space in the liquid lifting pipe body 2 during the driving process, thereby increasing the gas pressure value in the liquid lifting pipe body 2. When the gas pressure value in the liquid lifting pipe body 2 is greater than or equal to the opening pressure, the one-way valve 31 is opened, and the pressure relief begins. Since the piston 4 is driven to move at a constant speed, the pressure relief of the one-way valve 31 and the compression of the piston 4 can maintain a relative balance, that is, the pressure in the liquid lifting pipe body 2 is constant, and the detection value of the pressure gauge 33 is constant. If the detection value of the pressure gauge 33 suddenly increases during the movement of the piston 4, it means that there is a leakage point in the position passed by the plug head 41. Since the plug head 41 exceeds the leakage point, the leakage point is not connected with the sealed space of the liquid lifting pipe body 2, so the liquid lifting pipe body 2 has less leakage, and the value of the pressure gauge 33 will increase. According to the change of the value of the pressure gauge 33, the position of the leakage point can be roughly determined.
[0045] Meanwhile, the increase of the pressure value also accelerates the leakage speed of the tiny cracks on the surface of the liquid lifting pipe body 2, thereby continuously driving the piston 4, accelerating the generation speed of the bubbles, making the bubbles continuously overflow, and more easily observed, greatly shortening the time of the liquid lifting pipe body 2 air tightness detection, improving the detection efficiency of the liquid lifting pipe body 2, and making the detection result more accurate.
[0046] In summary, the utility model discloses through drive piston 4 can improve the pressure value in the lifting tube body 2, and the pressure value can accelerate the leakage amount of the crack on the lifting tube body 2 of further raising, accelerate the speed of bubble generation, make bubble can continuously overflow, more easily be observed, greatly shorten the time of lifting tube body 2 air tightness detection, improve the detection efficiency of lifting tube body 2, make the detection result more accurate. Through setting drive device 422, make piston 4 can be driven to the lifting tube body 2 in even speed and stretch into, and further can determine the position of leakage point according to the change condition of barometer 33 whether existence leakage on the lifting tube body 2.
