Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of helium testing technology for valve modules, specifically a helium testing fixture structure for valve modules. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial manufacturing, valve modules, as core components of fluid control systems, directly impact the safety and reliability of the system through their sealing performance. To ensure valve module quality, helium leak testing is typically required. Due to its high sensitivity and accuracy, helium testing is widely used in testing the sealing performance of valve modules. By filling the valve module with helium and monitoring for leaks, the presence of defects can be quickly and accurately determined.

[0003] However, existing helium detection devices suffer from helium waste during the detection process. Since helium is a rare gas with high cost, and in existing technologies, helium is usually directly released into the atmosphere after detection without effective recovery and reuse, resulting in resource waste and increased detection costs.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A valve module helium detection fixture structure includes a detection table 1. A frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the detection table 1. A lifting frame 3 is movably installed on the upper end of the frame 2. A lifting mechanism is provided between the frame 2 and the lifting frame 3. The lifting mechanism includes a lead screw 6. The lead screw 6 is movably installed in the middle of the frame 2. A motor 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the middle of the frame 2. The output shaft of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 6. A movable block 8 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 6. The movable block 8 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 3. A sealing ring 16 is fixedly installed in the middle of the same side of the upper flange 11 and the lower flange 13. Several insertion rods 17 are fixedly installed on the same side of the upper flange 11 and the lower flange 13 and outside the sealing ring 16.

[0026] In this embodiment, during installation, the valve module to be tested is placed on the right side of the testing platform 1, ensuring it is aligned with the lower flange 13. The motor 7 is started, driving the lead screw 6 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the lead screw 6 and the movable block 8, the lifting frame 3 is lowered, causing the upper flange 11 to tightly align with the lower flange 13. The sealing ring 16 between the upper flange 11 and the lower flange 13 ensures airtightness at the connection, while the insertion rod 17 further fixes their positions, preventing displacement during testing.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, a compression pump 4 is fixedly installed on the upper right side of the lifting frame 3, and a gas storage cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the upper left side of the lifting frame 3. A detection mechanism is set on the right side of the lifting frame 3 and the detection platform 1. The detection mechanism includes an output pipe 9. An output pipe 9 connected to the input end of the compression pump 4 is fixedly installed at the output end of the gas storage cylinder 5. A switch valve 24 is fixedly installed in the middle of the output pipe 9. A one-way valve 10 is fixedly installed at the top of the gas storage cylinder 5. The detection mechanism also includes an upper flange 11. An upper flange 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the compression pump 4. An annular groove 12 is opened at the upper right side of the detection platform 1. A lower flange 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the annular groove 12. A transparent cover 14 is fixedly installed on the outside of the upper flange 11. A pressure sensor 15 is fixedly installed on the front of the transparent cover 14.

[0028] In this embodiment, during the detection process, the second switch valve 23 is in the closed state. If there is a leak in the valve module, helium will escape through the leak point, causing the internal pressure of the transparent cover 14 to increase. The pressure sensor 15 will detect this pressure change and send a signal. At this time, the system will automatically close the first switch valve 24 and stop the helium injection.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, a recycling mechanism is provided on the lower right side of the testing platform 1. The recycling mechanism includes a circulation pump 18. The circulation pump 18 is fixedly installed in the lower middle part of the testing platform 1. The circulation pump 18 is connected to the gas storage cylinder 5 through a bellows 19. Connecting pipes 20 are fixedly installed in the middle and on both sides of the annular groove 12. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 20 is connected to the suction pipe 22 through a four-way valve 21. The other end of the suction pipe 22 is connected to the circulation pump 18. A switch valve 23 is fixedly installed in the middle of the suction pipe 22. The recycling mechanism cooperates with the gas storage cylinder 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, after detection, the circulation pump 18 extracts the residual helium gas inside the valve module and the transparent cover 14 through the extraction pipe 22, and recovers the helium gas into the storage cylinder 5 through the bellows 19, thereby realizing the recycling of helium gas and reducing resource waste.

[0031] Working principle: First, during installation, place the valve module to be tested on the right side of the testing platform 1, ensuring it is aligned with the lower flange 13. Start the motor 7, which drives the lead screw 6 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the lead screw 6 and the movable block 8, the lifting frame 3 is lowered, causing the upper flange 11 to tightly align with the lower flange 13. The sealing ring 16 between the upper flange 11 and the lower flange 13 ensures the airtightness of the connection, while the insertion rod 17 further fixes their positions, preventing displacement during testing. After the upper flange 11 and lower flange 13 are aligned, switch valve 1 24 is opened. Helium in gas cylinder 5 enters compressor pump 4 through output pipe 9. Compressor pump 4 pressurizes the helium and injects it into the valve module to be tested through upper flange 11. During the test, switch valve 2 23 is closed. If there is a leak in the valve module, helium will escape through the leak point, causing the internal pressure of transparent cover 14 to increase. Pressure sensor 15 will detect this pressure change and send a signal. At this time, the system will automatically close switch valve 1 24 to stop helium injection, open switch valve 2 23, and start circulation pump 18. Circulation pump 18 extracts the residual helium in the valve module and transparent cover 14 through suction pipe 22 and recovers the helium into gas cylinder 5 through bellows 19, realizing the recycling of helium and reducing resource waste. After the test is completed, motor 7 is started again to raise lifting frame 3, separating upper flange 11 and lower flange 13, and the tested valve module is taken out.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
