[0030] The following is a detailed description of this application.
[0031] The steam generator is a key functional module in garment processing equipment (such as dryers and washer-dryer combos). Its main function is to generate steam (usually saturated steam) by heating water and spraying it onto the garments to achieve functions such as wrinkle removal, sterilization, deodorization, or improving drying uniformity. In traditional production processes, the steam generator is usually functionally tested only after it has been assembled into the garment processing equipment. If there is a problem with the steam generator, it needs to be disassembled and repaired, significantly increasing the testing costs.
[0032] To solve the above problems, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides a testing device for testing a steam generating assembly 9. The testing device includes a base 1, a liquid supply assembly 2, a power supply structure 3, and a detection assembly 4. The base 1 supports the steam generating assembly 9. The liquid supply assembly 2 includes a liquid supply pipe 21, which is connected to the liquid inlet of the steam generating assembly 9 to provide the steam generating assembly 9 with the liquid required for testing. The power supply structure 3 is electrically connected to the steam generating assembly 9 to provide electrical energy to the steam generating assembly 9. The detection assembly 4 includes a temperature detection structure 41, which is used to detect the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generating assembly 9.
[0033] In this embodiment, the function of the base 1 is to place the steam generating component 9 to be tested. Therefore, the structural design of the base 1 has many possibilities. For example, the base 1 can be a block structure, a plate structure, or a frame structure. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0034] In this embodiment, the function of the liquid supply component 2 is to provide the liquid required for testing to the steam generating component 9. Here, the liquid can be water, a mixed liquid, or an organic solvent. This embodiment does not limit the type of liquid.
[0035] In this embodiment, the power supply structure 3 is used to provide the electrical energy required for testing the steam generating component 9. The power supply method of the power supply structure 3 can be designed according to the type of the steam generating component 9 to be tested. For example, the power supply method of the power supply structure 3 can be DC power supply or AC power supply. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0036] In this embodiment, the temperature detection structure 41 is used to detect the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generating component 9. The detection method of the temperature detection structure 41 can be varied. For example, the temperature detection structure 41 can be a resistance temperature detector or an infrared detector. This embodiment does not limit the method.
[0037] In the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, the testing equipment includes a base 1, a liquid supply component 2, a power supply structure 3, and a detection component 4. The base 1 supports the steam generating component 9 to be tested. The liquid supply component 2 includes a liquid supply pipe 21 to supply the liquid required for testing to the steam generating component 9. The power supply structure 3 can be electrically connected to the steam generating component 9 to provide electrical energy. The detection component 4 includes a temperature detection structure 41, which can detect the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generating component 9. When testing the steam generating component 9, the component is first placed on the base 1. Then, the power supply structure 3 is electrically connected to the steam generating component 9, and the liquid supply pipe 21 of the liquid supply component 2 is connected to the liquid inlet of the steam generating component 9. Then, the steam generating component 9 is started to generate steam. The temperature detection structure 41 detects the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generating component 9. If the steam reaches the target temperature within a specified time, the heating function of the steam generating component 9 is deemed to meet the requirements. In this way, the steam generating component 9 can be functionally tested without being assembled into the garment processing equipment. If the steam generating component 9 is found to be defective, it can be repaired immediately, reducing the disassembly and assembly steps on the garment processing equipment and lowering the testing cost of the steam generating component 9.
[0038] In this embodiment of the application, during the testing of the steam generating assembly 9, the steam generating assembly 9 can be placed only on the base 1, that is, the steam generating assembly 9 and the base 1 can move relative to each other. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one possible embodiment of this application, the testing equipment further includes a fixing structure 5, which is disposed on the base 1 to fix the steam generating component 9 relative to the base 1. Thus, after the steam generating component 9 is placed on the base 1, the fixing structure 5 can fix the steam generating component 9 relative to the base 1, thereby reducing testing errors caused by relative movement between the steam generating component 9 and the base 1 and improving the testing accuracy of the testing equipment.
[0039] In this embodiment, the fixed structure 5 can have various structural forms. For example, the fixed structure 5 may include fasteners, and the steam generating assembly 9 can be fixed relative to the base 1 by the fasteners. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2In another possible embodiment of this application, the base 1 has a bearing surface 11 for placing the steam generating assembly 9. The fixing structure 5 includes a pressing member 51 and a first driving member 52. The pressing member 51 is disposed opposite to the bearing surface 11, and the first driving member 52 is disposed on the base 1. The driving end of the first driving member 52 is connected to the pressing member 51 for transmission, so as to drive the pressing member 51 to press the steam generating assembly 9. In this way, after the steam generating assembly 9 is placed on the bearing surface 11 of the base 1, the first driving member 52 can drive the pressing member 51, so that the pressing member 51 presses and fixes the steam generating assembly 9 on the base 1. Here, the first driving member 52 can adjust the position of the pressing member 51 by controlling the stroke, so that the test equipment can be compatible with steam generating assemblies 9 of different thicknesses or heights.
[0040] In this embodiment, the first driving component 52 can be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric telescopic cylinder; this embodiment does not limit the specific type of cylinder.
[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the steam generating assembly 9 may consist only of a steam generator 91. Therefore, when testing the steam generating assembly 9, only the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generating assembly 9 needs to be measured. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one possible embodiment of this application, the steam generating assembly 9 includes a water tank structure 92, within which a liquid level sensor is disposed. The testing equipment further includes a bracket 6 and a second driving member 66. The base 1 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 6, and the second driving member 66 is drively connected to the base 1 to drive the base 1 to rotate relative to the bracket 6. The detection assembly 4 includes a state detection structure for detecting the conduction state of the liquid level sensor. Thus, before detecting the steam temperature generated by the steam generating assembly 9, the second driving member 66 can drive the base 1 to rotate relative to the bracket 6, thereby causing the steam generating assembly 9 on the base 1 to rotate relative to the bracket 6. Simultaneously, the state detection structure detects the conduction state of the liquid level sensor within the water tank structure 92. If the conduction state of the liquid level sensor can switch normally with the attitude change of the steam generating assembly 9, the dynamic response capability of the liquid level sensor can be determined to be qualified.
[0042] In this embodiment, the second driving component 66 can be a motor or a swing cylinder, and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0043] In this embodiment, the liquid level sensor within the water tank structure 92 may include an upper liquid level sensor and a lower liquid level sensor. When testing the dynamic response capability of the liquid level sensor, the steam generating assembly 9 can first be fixed to the base 1. Then, the second driving component 66 drives the base 1 and the steam generating assembly 9 on the base 1 to rotate 180° relative to the support 6. During this process, the state detection structure can detect the conduction status of the upper and lower liquid level sensors. If the lower liquid level sensor is on and the upper liquid level sensor is off when the steam generating assembly 9 is not rotating relative to the support 6; if the lower liquid level sensor is off and the upper liquid level sensor is on when the steam generating assembly 9 has rotated 180° relative to the support 6, then the dynamic response capability of both the upper and lower liquid level sensors can be determined to be qualified.
[0044] It should be noted that the state detection structure in this application embodiment has a variety of possible structural forms. For example, the state detection structure can be an oscilloscope or a data acquisition card. This application embodiment does not limit this.
[0045] In addition, in this embodiment of the application, when the steam generating assembly 9 includes a water box structure 92, the reliability of the mechanical action of the lower liquid level sensor can also be tested. The specific testing method is as follows: After the steam generating assembly 9 is placed on the bearing surface 11 of the base 1, the liquid supply pipe 21 of the liquid supply assembly 2 can be connected to both the steam generator 91 and the water box structure 92 simultaneously, so that the liquid supply assembly 2 can simultaneously supply liquid to both the steam generator 91 and the water box structure 92. Once the liquid in the steam generator 91 and the water box structure 92 meets the test requirements, the liquid supply to the steam generator 91 and the water box structure 92 is stopped. Then, the steam generating assembly 9 is electrically connected to the power supply structure 3, and the steam generating assembly 9 is started. Finally, the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generating assembly 9 is detected by the temperature detection structure 41, and the conduction status of the lower liquid level sensor is detected by the status detection structure.
[0046] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, when testing the reliability of the mechanical action of the lower liquid level sensor, the amount of liquid supplied by the liquid supply component 2 to the water box structure 92 must be sufficient to ensure that the lower liquid level sensor can float normally. If the status detection structure detects that the lower liquid level sensor is disconnected within a specified time, the reliability of the mechanical action of the lower liquid level sensor can be determined to be qualified.
[0047] In this embodiment, when testing the reliability of the mechanical action of the liquid level sensor, liquid needs to be introduced into the water tank structure 92, which is not conducive to the water tank structure 92's flipping movement. Therefore, when testing the steam generating component 9, the dynamic response capability of the liquid level sensor can be tested first. After the dynamic response capability of the liquid level sensor is qualified, the reliability of the mechanical action of the liquid level sensor can then be tested.
[0048] In this embodiment of the application, after all tests on the test steam generator assembly 9 are completed, the power supply structure 3 can be disconnected from the steam generator assembly 9, and the liquid supply pipe 21 of the liquid supply assembly 2 can be disconnected from the liquid inlet of the steam generator assembly 9. The tested steam generator assembly 9 can then be removed from the base 1.
[0049] In this embodiment, to accommodate steam generating components 9 with different structures, the test equipment base 1 can be configured to have only one. When the steam generating component 9 only includes a steam generator 91, the base 1 does not need to rotate relative to the support 6; the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generating component 9 is only detected by the temperature detection structure 41. When the steam generating component 9 also includes a water tank structure 92, the base 1 can be rotated relative to the support 6 by the second drive member 66, and the conduction status of the liquid level sensor can be detected by the state detection structure. After completing the dynamic response capability test of the liquid level sensor, the second drive member 66 can drive the base 1 to reset, thereby testing the heating function of the steam generating component 9 and the reliability of the mechanical action of the lower liquid level sensor.
[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one possible embodiment of this application, the test device may have two bases 1, namely a first base 1a and a second base 1b. The first base 1a may be fixed relative to the support 6, and the second base 1b may be rotatable relative to the support 6. When the steam generating assembly 9 only includes a steam generator 91, the steam generating assembly 9 may be placed on the first base 1a for testing; when the steam generating assembly 9 also includes a water box structure 92, the steam generating assembly 9 may be placed on the second base 1b for testing.
[0051] In this embodiment of the application, when the test equipment has a first seat 1a and a second seat 1b, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two fixing structures 5 can be provided, namely a first fixing structure 5a and a second fixing structure 5b. The first fixing structure 5a is provided on the first base 1a to fix the steam generating component 9 relative to the first base 1a; the second fixing structure 5b is provided on the second base 1b to fix the steam generating component 9 relative to the second base 1b.
[0052] In this embodiment of the application, when the test equipment has a first seat 1a and a second seat 1b, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3Two temperature detection structures 41 can be set accordingly. The two temperature detection structures 41 are the first temperature detection structure 41a and the second temperature detection structure 41b. The first temperature detection structure 41a is used to detect the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generating component 9 on the first seat 1a, and the second temperature detection structure 41b is used to detect the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generating component 9 on the second seat 1b.
[0053] In this example, the liquid supply assembly 2 may include a liquid storage tank 22, which is positioned above the base 1. The liquid in the liquid storage tank 22 flows under gravity through the liquid supply pipe 21 to the steam generating assembly 9 to be tested. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one possible embodiment of this application, the liquid supply assembly 2 further includes a liquid storage tank 22 and a pump 23. The liquid storage tank 22 has a receiving cavity 221 for storing liquid, and the pump 23 is connected to the liquid supply pipe 21 to pump the liquid in the receiving cavity 221 to the steam generating assembly 9 through the liquid supply pipe 21. In this way, when supplying liquid to the steam generating assembly 9 to be tested, the liquid in the receiving cavity 221 can be pumped to the steam generating assembly 9 through the pump 23, effectively improving the liquid supply efficiency.
[0054] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one possible embodiment of this application, the testing equipment further includes a support 6, which has a support member 61 and a flow-blocking member 62. The flow-blocking member 62 is disposed on the support member 61 to form a liquid storage chamber 63 together with the support member 61. The inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 63 has a drain port 631 communicating with the receiving cavity 221. The seat 1 is located inside the liquid storage chamber 63. In this way, during the testing of the steam generating assembly 9, if liquid overflow occurs, the liquid storage chamber 63 formed by the support member 61 and the flow-blocking member 62 can block the liquid and prevent the overflowing liquid from flowing out. In addition, the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 63 has a drain port 631 communicating with the receiving cavity 221. In this way, the overflowing liquid can also be recycled into the liquid storage tank 22 through the drain port 631, thereby reducing liquid waste and improving liquid utilization.
[0055] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the liquid storage tank 22 and the liquid storage chamber 63 can be varied. For example, the liquid storage tank 22 can be positioned higher than or lower than the liquid storage chamber 63. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one possible embodiment of this application, the liquid storage tank 22 is located below the liquid storage chamber 63, and the drain port 631 is located on the bottom wall of the liquid storage chamber 63. In this way, the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 63 can flow into the liquid storage tank 22 under the action of gravity without the need for other auxiliary structures, thus reducing the structural complexity of the testing equipment.
[0056] Reference Figure 3 In one possible embodiment of this application, the temperature detection structure 41 includes a mounting base 411 and a temperature sensor 412. The temperature sensor 412 is disposed on the mounting base 411. When the steam generating assembly 9 is placed on the base 1, the temperature sensor 412 is positioned opposite to the steam outlet of the steam generating assembly 9. Thus, when steam is discharged from the steam outlet of the steam generating assembly 9, the steam can flow directly to the temperature sensor 412 on the mounting base 411, allowing the temperature sensor 412 to detect the steam temperature in real time. This reduces the impact of airflow disturbance on the detected steam temperature and improves the detection accuracy of the temperature detection structure 41.
[0057] In this embodiment of the application, when the steam generating assembly 9 has a steam pipe, refer to... Figure 3 The temperature detection structure 41 may also include a fixing seat 413 for fixing the steam pipe. The fixing seat 413 is arranged opposite to the mounting seat 411. The steam generated by the steam generating assembly 9 reaches the temperature sensor 412 on the mounting seat 411 through the steam pipe for detection.
[0058] In this embodiment of the application, when testing the steam generating assembly 9, the liquid supply pipe 21 of the liquid supply assembly 2 can be manually connected to the liquid inlet of the steam generating assembly 9. Alternatively, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one possible embodiment of this application, the testing equipment further includes a third driving component 24. The driving end of the third driving component 24 is connected to the liquid supply pipe 21 to drive the liquid supply pipe 21 to connect with the liquid inlet of the steam generating assembly 9. Here, the testing equipment drives the liquid supply pipe 21 to connect with the liquid inlet of the steam generating assembly 9 through the third driving component 24, which can reduce the workload of the testing personnel and improve the automation level of the testing equipment.
[0059] In this embodiment, the connection between the third driving member 24 and the liquid supply pipe 21 can be varied. For example, the driving end of the third driving member 24 can be directly connected to the liquid supply pipe 21; or, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The liquid supply pipe 21 is equipped with a connecting block 211, which has a connecting hole that communicates with the liquid supply pipe 21. The driving end of the third driving member 24 is connected to the liquid supply pipe 21 through the connecting block 211. When testing the steam generating assembly 9, the third driving member 24 drives the connecting hole on the connecting block 211 to align and communicate with the liquid inlet of the steam generating assembly 9, and the liquid supply pipe 21 communicates with the liquid inlet of the steam generating assembly 9 through the connecting hole.
[0060] In this embodiment, the third driving component 24 can be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric telescopic cylinder; this embodiment does not limit the specific type of driving component.
[0061] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one possible embodiment of this application, the testing equipment further includes a positioning structure 12, which is disposed on the base 1 to determine the placement position of the steam generating assembly 9. This allows the positioning structure 12 to quickly determine the placement position of the steam generating assembly 9 when the testing personnel place it, thereby improving the testing efficiency of the steam generating assembly 9.
[0062] In this embodiment, the positioning structure 12 can have various structural forms. For example, the positioning structure 12 may include a positioning groove that can be adapted to the bottom of the steam generating assembly 9 to determine the placement position of the steam generating assembly 9; or, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The positioning structure 12 may also include a positioning block, which is used to determine the placement position of the steam generating component 9. This application embodiment does not limit this.
[0063] In this embodiment of the application, when the test equipment has a first seat 1a and a second seat 1b, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two positioning structures 12 can be provided, namely a first positioning structure 12a and a second positioning structure 12b. The first positioning structure 12a is provided on the first seat 1a to determine the placement position of the steam generating assembly 9 on the first seat 1a; the second positioning structure 12b is provided on the second seat 1b to determine the placement position of the steam generating assembly 9 on the second seat 1b.
[0064] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one possible embodiment of this application, the testing equipment further includes a protective component 7, which includes an optical transceiver structure 71. The optical transceiver structure 71 is used to generate a safety light curtain in the circumference of the base 1. In this way, during the operation of the testing equipment, the optical transceiver structure 71 can form a "light curtain barrier" in the dangerous area where the testing equipment is operating. When a person's limb enters the light curtain, the optical transceiver structure 71 can output an emergency stop signal to the testing equipment, thereby preventing mechanical injury.
