Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety valve technology, specifically to the clamping mechanism of a safety valve testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Safety valves are crucial safety protection devices in industrial equipment. Their performance directly affects the safe operation of the equipment. Their main function is to automatically open when the pressure of the medium within the equipment or pipeline exceeds a specified value, thereby preventing the pressure from exceeding the prescribed level by discharging the medium outside the system. Safety valves belong to the category of automatic valves and are mainly used in boilers, pressure vessels, and pipelines to control pressure and ensure it does not exceed specified values, playing a vital role in protecting personal safety and equipment operation.

[0003] In the existing technology, clamping machines are often used when periodically inspecting and testing safety valves. However, the clamping method for safety valves usually involves multiple jaws. When clamping a safety valve, personnel need to manually slide the positions of multiple jaws one by one to adapt to safety valves of different sizes. This operation is not convenient and reduces the practicality of the device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping mechanism for a safety valve testing device, in order to solve the problem in the prior art that when clamping a safety valve, personnel need to manually slide the positions of multiple clamps one by one to adapt to safety valves of different sizes, which is not convenient to operate.

[0020] Example: Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a clamping mechanism for a safety valve testing device, including a support platform 1. A circular mounting bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform 1. A pressure tube head 3 is provided on the top of the support platform 1. The top end of the pressure tube head 3 passes through the inner top of the circular mounting bracket 2 and is fixedly connected to the circular mounting bracket 2. The top of the circular mounting bracket 2 is provided with multiple grippers 8. The top of the circular mounting bracket 2 is provided with multiple sliding grooves 200. The bottom ends of the multiple grippers 8 pass through the multiple sliding grooves 200 and extend into the interior of the circular mounting bracket 2.

Convex sliders 800 are slidably arranged inside the convex grooves 400. The convex sliders 800 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the grippers 8. A hydraulic structure is provided at the bottom of the support plate 4.

[0021] The drive structure includes an external gear ring 10, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting drum 6. A gear 11 is meshed with the outside of the external gear ring 10.

The drive structure also includes a fixing plate 13, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive motor 12 and to the outside of the support plate 4.

[0022] Specifically, the safety valve is placed on top of the circular mounting bracket 2. A sealing gasket can be placed between the safety valve and the circular mounting bracket 2 to improve the sealing effect. Then, the drive motor 12 is started. The model of the drive motor 12 is not specifically limited, but depends on the compatible equipment. The output end of the drive motor 12 drives the gear 11 to rotate. The gear 11 meshes with the outer gear ring 10. The outer gear ring 10 drives the rotating disk 7 to rotate through the connecting rotating cylinder 6. The rotating disk 7 can synchronously adjust the position of the gripper 8 through the cooperation of multiple hinge seats 900 and multiple push rods 9, so as to adapt to safety valves of various sizes.
