It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not necessarily limit to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0030] The embodiments of the present application provide a gas pressure test system. Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a gas pressure test system according to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 1The gas pressure test system comprises a switch module 1, a first pipe joint tool 2, a second pipe joint tool 3 and a gas feeding module 4. The first opening of the switch module 4 is connected with the second opening of the first pipe 51, and the second opening of the switch module 1 is connected with the first opening of the second pipe 52. The switch module 1 is used to open or close the gas flow between the first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52. The gas outlet end of the first pipe joint tool 2 is connected with the first opening of the first pipe 51, and is used to seal the first opening of the first pipe 51. The gas outlet end of the second pipe joint tool 3 is connected with the second opening of the second pipe 52, and is used to seal the second opening of the second pipe 52. The gas feeding module 4 is connected with the gas inlet end of the first pipe joint tool 2 or the gas inlet end of the second pipe joint tool 3 through a gas pipe, and is used to fill gas into the first pipe 51 or the second pipe 52 and detect the gas pressure.
[0031] The first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52 can form an integrated pipe structure after being connected with the switch module 1. When the first pipe joint tool 2 and the second pipe joint tool 3 are not connected with the gas feeding module 4, the gas cannot flow between the gas inlet end and the gas outlet end. When the gas feeding module 4 is connected with the first pipe joint tool 2 or the second pipe joint tool 3 through the gas pipe, the gas can flow from the gas inlet end to the gas outlet end through the first pipe joint tool 2 or the second pipe joint tool 3.
[0032] Therefore, after the first pipe joint tool 2 seals the first opening of the first pipe 51 and the second pipe joint tool 3 seals the second opening of the second pipe 52, the first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52 form a closed structure with the switch module 1. In an ideal state, the closed structure is completely sealed and no gas leakage occurs.
[0033] To detect whether the structure is completely sealed, the gas feeding module 4 is connected with the first pipe joint tool 2 or the second pipe joint tool 3, and the first pipe joint tool 2 or the second pipe joint tool 3 is filled with gas to perform the gas pressure test.
[0034] Specifically, the switch module 1 is in a closed state, and the first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52 are not connected. The gas feeding module 4 is connected with the first pipe joint tool 2, and the gas feeding module 4 fills the first pipe 51 with gas through the gas pipe until the set pressure value is reached. For example, the gas pressure output by the gas feeding module 4 is regulated to 0.7 MPa, and the gas feeding module 4 stops outputting gas when the gas pressure in the first pipe 51 is detected to be 0.7 MPa.
[0035] Because the gas delivery speed of the gas delivery module 4 is fast, when the gas delivery module 4 stops gas output, the gas in the first pipeline 51 is in an unstable state, and the gas pressure can change over time. In order to ensure the accuracy of the gas pressure test result, the gas pressure can be detected after the gas is completely stable. For example, the gas pressure detection is performed five minutes after the gas delivery module 4 stops gas output. The time for the gas pressure detection can be two minutes, and if the gas pressure of the gas delivery module 4 does not decrease and there is no secondary operation for air supplementing within the two minutes, it indicates that the connection between the first pipeline 51 and the switch module 1 is in a good sealing state.
[0036] After the test is completed, the connection between the gas delivery module 4 and the first pipe joint tool 2 is disconnected, and the gas delivery module 4 is connected to the second pipe joint tool 3. The switch module 1 remains in the off state, and the gas delivery module 4 fills the second pipeline 52 with gas through the gas pipe until the set pressure value is reached. The gas pressure detection is performed five minutes after the gas delivery module 4 stops gas output. If the gas pressure of the gas delivery module 4 does not decrease and there is no secondary operation within the time for the gas pressure detection, it indicates that the connection between the second pipeline 52 and the switch module 1 is in a good sealing state.
[0037] After the test is completed, the switch module 1 is switched from the off state to the on state, and the first pipeline 51 and the second pipeline 52 are connected. Therefore, the gas delivery module 4 can fill the first pipeline 51 and the second pipeline 52 with gas through one gas pipe until the set pressure value is reached. The gas pressure detection is performed five minutes after the gas delivery module 4 stops gas output. If the gas pressure of the gas delivery module 4 does not decrease and there is no secondary operation within the time for the gas pressure detection, it indicates that the first pipeline 51 and the second pipeline 52 are in a good sealing state with the switch module 1. By switching the on and off states of the switch module 1, not only whether the switch module 1 can operate normally can be tested, but also the sealing state of the first pipeline 51 and the second pipeline 52 with the switch module 1 can be detected again, which has high reliability.
[0038] The above test method is only an embodiment of the present application and does not limit the present application. In other embodiments, the switch module 1 can be first placed in the on state for gas pressure testing, and then the switch module 1 is placed in the off state, and the first pipeline 51 or the second pipeline 52 is filled with gas and tested for gas pressure.
[0039] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the utility model, through the combination of the first pipeline, the second pipeline and the switch module into a closed structure, only through one connection can realize the simultaneous detection of the closed state of the first pipeline, the second pipeline and the switch module, without independent testing of each component, the testing process is simple, has lower detection cost and detection time, and improves the detection efficiency.
[0040] Figure 2 For another structure diagram of the gas pressure test system provided by the embodiment of the utility model, refer to Figure 2 On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the first pipe joint tool 2 comprises: a first pipe joint 21 and a first vent joint 22. The gas outlet end of the first pipe joint 21 is connected with the first opening of the first pipeline 51, the gas inlet end of the first pipe joint 21 is connected with the gas outlet end of the first vent joint 22, and the first vent joint 22 is used for venting when connecting the gas supply module 4.
[0041] Among them, the first vent joint 22 is used for connecting the first pipe joint 21 and the gas supply module 4. The first vent joint 22 is in a closed state when not connected with the gas pipe. When the first vent joint 22 is connected with the gas pipe and the gas supply module 4 outputs gas, the first vent joint 22 is vented, and the gas is transmitted to the first pipeline 51 through the first pipe joint 21.
[0042] Optionally, the gas inlet end of the first pipe joint 21 is hot melt connected with the gas outlet end of the first vent joint 22. Compared with the traditional threaded connection mode, the hot melt connection has the advantages of simple connection, long service life, corrosion resistance and the like. The first pipe joint 21 and the first vent joint 22 adopting hot melt connection have better integration, so that the first pipe joint tool 2 has lower gas leakage rate, and the accuracy of the gas pressure test is improved.
[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 2 On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the second pipe joint tool 3 comprises: a second pipe joint 31 and a second vent joint 32. The gas outlet end of the second pipe joint 31 is connected with the second opening of the second pipeline 52, the gas inlet end of the second pipe joint 31 is connected with the gas outlet end of the second vent joint 32, and the second vent joint 32 is used for venting when connecting the gas supply module 4.
[0044] Among them, the second vent joint 32 is used for connecting the second pipe joint 31 and the gas supply module 4. The second vent joint 32 is in a closed state when not connected with the gas pipe. When the second vent joint 32 is connected with the gas pipe and the gas supply module 4 outputs gas, the second vent joint 32 is vented, and the gas is transmitted to the second pipeline 52 through the second pipe joint 31.
[0045] Optionally, the air inlet end of the second pipe connector 31 and the air outlet end of the second vent connector 32 are heat-fused together. Similar to the first pipe connector fixture 2, the second pipe connector 31 and the second vent connector 32 in the second pipe connector fixture 3 are also heat-fused together. This arrangement reduces the leakage rate of the second pipe connector fixture 3 and improves the accuracy of the air pressure test.
[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 2 Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the first pipe 51 includes at least two first sub-pipes 511 welded together. The second pipe 52 includes at least two second sub-pipes 521 welded together. The first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52 include flow battery electrolyte delivery pipes.
[0047] The first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52 can be used as delivery pipes for the electrolyte of the flow battery. When the flow battery is used, the delivery pipes are not allowed to have leakage problems caused by welding defects. Therefore, before the first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52 are put into use, they must be subjected to air pressure test to avoid air tightness problems caused by defects in the welding process of the sub-pipes.
[0048] Specifically, when the switch module 1 is turned off, the gas supply module 4 supplies gas to the first pipe 51 through the first pipe joint tool 2. When the gas pressure in the first pipe 51 stabilizes, if the gas pressure of the gas supply module 4 does not drop and there is no secondary operation, it indicates that the welding of each first sub-pipe 511 in the first pipe 51 is good.
[0049] The gas delivery module 4 can also supply gas to the second pipe 52 through the second pipe joint tool 3. When the gas pressure in the second pipe 52 is stable, if the gas pressure of the gas delivery module 4 does not drop and there is no secondary operation, it indicates that the welding of each second sub-pipe 521 in the second pipe 52 is good.
[0050] When the switch module 1 is turned on, the gas supply module 4 simultaneously supplies gas to the first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52 through the first pipe joint fixture 2 or the second pipe joint fixture 3. If the gas pressure of the gas supply module 4 does not drop and there is no secondary operation, it indicates that each sub-pipe in the first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52 is in a well-welded state.
[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 2 Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the switch module 1 includes a switch 11 and a solenoid valve 12. The first opening of the solenoid valve 12 is connected to the second opening of the first pipe 51, and the second opening of the solenoid valve 12 is connected to the first opening of the second pipe 52. The power supply terminal of the switch 11 is connected to the power supply 13; the signal terminal of the switch 11 is connected to the control terminal of the solenoid valve 12, and the switch 11 is used to control the opening or closing of the solenoid valve 12.
[0052] The solenoid valve 12 is controlled to open or close via the switch 11. During the pressure test, the gas pressure of the solenoid valve 12 needs to be measured in both its open and closed states. This setup not only tests the sealing state of the first pipe 51, the second pipe 52, and the solenoid valve 12, but also tests whether the solenoid valve 12 can open or close normally when connected to the first pipe 51 and the second pipe 52, ensuring that the solenoid valve 12 can effectively open or close the flow of electrolyte in actual use.
[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 2 Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the first opening of the switch module 1 is connected to the second opening of the first pipe 51 by a thread, and the second opening of the switch module 1 is connected to the first opening of the second pipe 52 by a thread.
[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 2 Optionally, based on the above embodiments, the gas delivery module 4 includes an air compressor.
[0055] An air compressor is a device that generates compressed air, which can compress air or other gases and deliver them through pipes. For example, an air compressor can be set to a certain pressure value and stop gas output when the receiving device reaches the set pressure. Simultaneously, the air compressor can also have a pressure detection function; when the pressure in the receiving device decreases, the air compressor can restart to replenish the receiving device with air.
[0056] It should be understood that the various forms of the process shown above can be used, with steps reordered, added, or deleted. For example, the steps described in this utility model can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution of this utility model can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.
[0057] The specific embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
