Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spiral tube water testing equipment, and in particular to a spiral tube water pressure testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Spiral pipe, also known as spiral steel pipe or spiral welded pipe, is made by rolling low-carbon structural steel or low-alloy structural steel strip into a pipe blank at a certain spiral angle (called the forming angle), and then welding the pipe seam together. It can produce large-diameter steel pipes from narrower steel strips. Spiral pipes are mainly used for oil and natural gas transmission pipelines, and their specifications are expressed as outer diameter * wall thickness. Spiral pipes are available in single-sided and double-sided welded versions. Welded pipes must ensure that the hydrostatic test, weld tensile strength, and cold bending performance meet the requirements. Some spiral pipes need to be installed underwater, therefore, hydrostatic testing is required.

[0003] Existing spiral tube hydrostatic testing machines can only test the hydrostatic pressure of a single depth of spiral tube at a time. If different hydrostatic pressure data are required, multiple machines need to be used or a single machine needs to be tested multiple times, which results in high experimental costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a spiral tube hydrostatic testing machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spiral tube hydrostatic testing machine to solve the problem that existing spiral tube hydrostatic testing machines can only test the hydrostatic pressure of a single depth of spiral tube at a time. If different hydrostatic pressure data are required, multiple machines need to be used or a single machine needs to be tested multiple times, resulting in high testing costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a spiral tube hydrostatic testing machine, including a workbench, a hydrostatic chamber at the top of the workbench, a fixed seat and a slide rail on both sides inside the hydrostatic chamber, a first limiting block slidably arranged on the opposite side of the fixed seat and the slide rail, a slot is opened at the top of each of the two first limiting blocks, a baffle is hinged to one side of the top of each of the two first limiting blocks, and a spiral tube body is placed between the two corresponding slots;

[0007] A second limiting block is fixed to one side of each of the two first limiting blocks, and the height of the second limiting block is lower than the height of the first limiting block.

[0008] Preferably, a funnel is provided at the bottom of the water pressure tank, the water pressure tank and the funnel are connected, and a solenoid valve is provided at the connection between the water pressure tank and the funnel.

[0010] Preferably, a support plate is fixed to the top of the fixed base, and a drive motor is fixed to the top of the support plate. The drive shaft of the drive motor is connected to the top of the lead screw.

[0011] Preferably, a transparent window is provided on one side of the water pressure tank, and the transparent window is distributed along the height direction of the water pressure tank.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In the actual operation of this utility model, the two ends of the spiral tube body can be placed in the corresponding slots respectively, and by rotating the baffle, the baffle can block the top of the slot. When the two first limit blocks descend, the spiral tube body can be driven into the water pressure tank. As it descends, the spiral tube body can be driven to different depths in the water pressure tank. The greater the depth, the greater the water pressure. The baffle can prevent the spiral tube body from floating due to buoyancy, which would lead to inaccurate detection.

[0016] 2. In the actual operation of this utility model, by setting first and second limit blocks of different heights, multiple spiral tube bodies can be placed at one time. At the same time, since the first and second limit blocks are at different heights, multiple spiral tube bodies can be tested for different water pressures at one time, thereby reducing testing time and improving testing efficiency.

[0017] 3. A transparent window is provided on one side of the water pressure tank. The transparent window is distributed along the height direction of the water pressure tank. Through the transparent window, personnel can view the height of the spiral tube body. In the actual operation of this utility model, by starting the drive motor, the lead screw can be driven to rotate. When the lead screw rotates, it can drive the first slider and the corresponding first limit block to move downward. The drive motor can be a servo motor, which can rotate in both directions. When the lead screw rotates in the opposite direction, it can move the first slider and the corresponding first limit block upward, so as to facilitate the retrieval of the spiral tube body for water control.

The bottom end of the trough 7 is connected to an auxiliary bucket 8. The auxiliary bucket 8 is connected to the funnel 1. Multiple support columns 4 are connected to the bottom of the workbench 3. The multiple support columns 4 can support the workbench 3.

[0025] When the spiral tube body 15 completes the water pressure test, the spiral tube body 15 can be taken out and placed on the trough 7, and excess water can be discharged downward through the trough 7.

[0026] The water pressure tank 5 has a fixed seat 9 and a slide rail 17 on its two sides. The fixed seat 9 and the slide rail 17 are slidably provided with a first limiting block 12 on the opposite side. The top of the two first limiting blocks 12 is provided with a slot 14. The top of the two first limiting blocks 12 is hinged with a baffle 13 on one side. The spiral tube body 15 is placed between the two corresponding slots 14.
