Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of butterfly valve testing technology, and in particular to a bidirectional butterfly valve testing device. Background Technology

[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve or butterfly valve, is a type of valve that opens, closes, or regulates the flow of media by rotating a disc-shaped opening and closing element (butterfly plate) around a valve shaft. It is widely used in low-pressure pipeline systems to control the flow of various fluids, including air, water, steam, corrosive media, slurry, oil, liquid metals, and radioactive media.

[0003] Currently, butterfly valves used in scenarios where the medium flow direction is not fixed and reverse leakage needs to be prevented require bidirectional testing to ensure their airtightness.

[0004] A butterfly valve airtightness testing device with prior art disclosure number CN221198835U includes an installation module and a testing module, wherein: the installation module includes an installation platform, the top of the installation platform is provided with a lifting component, and the front end of the installation platform is provided with a testing surface.

[0005] Although this device can test multiple butterfly valves simultaneously, it has significant limitations in practical applications: First, it can only perform unidirectional testing on butterfly valves. If bidirectional testing is required, workers must manually flip the valves, which not only increases the labor intensity of workers but also reduces testing efficiency. Second, after each test, workers need to remove all the tested butterfly valves before installing the valve to be tested. This disassembly and reassembly process takes a considerable amount of time, which significantly reduces the testing efficiency, especially during large-scale testing.

[0006] Therefore, a bidirectional detection device for butterfly valves is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model is a two-way detection device for butterfly valves proposed to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a butterfly valve bidirectional detection device, comprising a frame and a controller and multiple butterfly valve bodies fixedly installed on one outer wall of the frame. A geared motor is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the frame, and the geared motor is fixedly connected to a main shaft, which completely penetrates the frame. Multiple fixing seats are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the main shaft, and clamping components are fixedly installed on each of the multiple fixing seats, with the butterfly valve body located inside the clamping components.

[0009] Two cylinders are symmetrically embedded at the top and bottom of the frame. The movable ends of two adjacent cylinders are fixedly connected to a movable seat. Multiple sealing plates are fixedly connected to the adjacent side of the two movable seats. A pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the side of the multiple sealing plates away from the butterfly valve body.

[0010] Multiple solenoid valves are fixedly connected to the side of each of the two movable seats away from the sealing pressure plate, and one of the interfaces of the solenoid valves passes through the movable seat and is fixedly connected to the sealing pressure plate. A gas supply assembly is installed together among the multiple solenoid valves on the same movable seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the spindle is rotatably connected to the frame, and the frame provides support for the spindle, which facilitates spindle installation.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the clamping components includes a dual-axis motor, which is fixedly embedded in the middle of the fixed base. Both drive ends of the dual-axis motor are fixedly connected to screws, and the screws are rotatably connected to the fixed base. The outer surfaces of the two screws are threaded with jaws, which can drive the two jaws to move closer to each other to clamp and fix the butterfly valve body.

[0013] Furthermore, both grippers are slidably connected to a first slide rail, and the first slide rail is fixedly connected to the fixed base. The first slide rail has a limiting effect on the grippers, which can ensure the stability of the gripper movement.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned sealing pressure plates includes a pressure plate body, which is fixedly connected to the movable seat and to the adjacent interfaces of the air pressure sensor and the solenoid valve. A sealing gasket is fixedly connected to one side of the butterfly valve body. The pressure plate body and the sealing gasket are provided with an inflation hole and a detection hole. The inflation hole is interconnected with the adjacent interface of the solenoid valve, and the detection hole is interconnected with the detection end of the air pressure sensor. The sealing gasket ensures the sealing performance after the pressure plate body and the butterfly valve body are pressed together.

[0015] Furthermore, both of the aforementioned air supply components include an air pump, and the air pump is fixedly connected to the frame. The output end of the air pump is fixedly connected to a main pipe, and a flexible hose is fixedly connected between the main pipe and the adjacent interfaces of the three adjacent solenoid valves. The flexible hose is designed to avoid affecting the movement of the solenoid valves.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner walls on both sides of the frame are fixedly connected with second slide rails, and the second slide rails are slidably connected to the two movable seats. The second slide rails have a limiting effect on the movable seats, which can ensure the stability of the movement of the movable seats.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] In use, this utility model provides a bidirectional testing device for butterfly valves. Through the inclusion of a geared motor, main shaft, fixed base, clamping assembly, cylinder, movable base, sealing plate, air pressure sensor, solenoid valve, and air supply assembly, the butterfly valve can be fixed once for bidirectional testing without manual flipping, reducing labor intensity and improving testing efficiency. Furthermore, by coinciding butterfly valve testing with loading and unloading, the testing efficiency can be significantly improved during large-scale testing. Attached Figure Description

The outer surfaces of the two screws 20 are threaded with grippers 18, and the two grippers 18 are slidably connected to a first slide rail 21. The first slide rail 21 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 22. The first slide rail 21 has a limiting function for the grippers 18, which can ensure the stability of the movement of the grippers 18.

[0028] Two cylinders 7 are symmetrically fitted into the top and bottom of the frame 1. The movable ends of two adjacent cylinders 7 are fixedly connected to movable seats 12. Second slide rails 9 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the frame 1, and the second slide rails 9 are slidably connected to the two movable seats 12. Multiple sealing plates are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two movable seats 12. Pressure sensors 10 are fixedly installed on the side of the multiple sealing plates away from the butterfly valve body 4. Multiple solenoid valves 8 are fixedly connected to the side of the two movable seats 12 away from the sealing plates, and one of the interfaces of the solenoid valve 8 passes through the movable seat 1. 2. A sealing pressure plate is set and fixedly connected. Multiple sealing pressure plates include a pressure plate body 17, and the pressure plate body 17 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 12 and fixedly connected to the adjacent interface of the air pressure sensor 10 and the solenoid valve 8. The pressure plate body 17 is fixedly connected to a sealing gasket 11 on one side of the butterfly valve body 4. The pressure plate body 17 and the sealing gasket 11 are provided with an inflation hole 15 and a detection hole 16. The inflation hole 15 is interconnected with the adjacent interface of the solenoid valve 8, and the detection hole 16 is interconnected with the detection end of the air pressure sensor 10.

The specific data analysis and processing involved to further realize the control function are methods that can be implemented by those skilled in the art based on common knowledge. These methods are not within the scope of this solution. The above description is only to illustrate the beneficial effects that can be achieved by this hardware structure improvement in conjunction with common knowledge.

[0031] Working principle: The butterfly valve body 4 is placed inside the clamping assembly at the loading station. The dual-axis motor 19 runs, driving the two screws 20 connected to it to rotate. After the two screws 20 rotate, they both drive the grippers 18 to approach the butterfly valve body 4 until the butterfly valve body 4 is fixed. The above operation is repeated until the clamping assembly at the loading station clamps and fixes the butterfly valve body 4. When the butterfly valve body 4 at the inspection station is inspected, the clamping assembly fixes it. Then, the two top cylinders 7 and the two bottom cylinders 7 run, driving the movable seat 12 away from the butterfly valve body 4 until it reaches the preset position. Then, the reduction motor 3 runs, driving the main shaft 5 to rotate 180 degrees, moving the uninspected butterfly valve body 4 to the inspection station. Then, the bottom cylinder 7 drives the bottom movable seat 12 and the pressure plate body 17, and the sealing... The sealing gasket 11 rises to the preset position, then the clamping assembly releases its clamping and fixing of the butterfly valve body 4, allowing the butterfly valve body 4 to fall onto the sealing gasket 11. Then, the two top cylinders 7 operate, driving the top pressure plate body 17 and the sealing gasket 11 to move down until the butterfly valve body 4 is fixed and sealed. Then, the two air pumps 2 operate synchronously, and the air pumps 2 fill the butterfly valve body 4 with gas through the main pipe 14, hose 13, solenoid valve 8, and air inlet 15 until the preset pressure is reached. The pressure value is detected by the air pressure sensor 10 (the pressure values ​​in the upper and lower areas of the butterfly valve body 4 are inconsistent, which helps to determine whether there is leakage above or below the butterfly valve body 4). Then, the solenoid valve 8 closes, the air pump 2 stops running, and the air pressure sensor 10 continuously monitors the pressure value change. If the change value does not exceed the threshold, it is qualified; if the change value exceeds the threshold, it is unqualified.
