Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve testing technology, and in particular to a testing device for large-diameter butterfly valves. Background Technology
[0002] After the butterfly valve is assembled, a sealing test is required. For large-diameter butterfly valves, due to their large size and heavy weight, ordinary testing equipment cannot meet their usage requirements. On the one hand, the equipment is not strong enough, the load-bearing capacity is insufficient, the applied pressure is unstable, and leakage is likely to occur at both ends of the butterfly valve. On the other hand, butterfly valves are inconvenient to pick up and put down, requiring manual handling, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a large-diameter butterfly valve testing device that is stable and reliable, applies stable pressure, improves the accuracy of test results, facilitates butterfly valve hoisting and handling, and can improve testing efficiency.
[0004] This utility model is implemented using the following scheme: a large-diameter butterfly valve testing device, including a base and a gantry seat above the base. The upper side of the base is provided with a test platform that can move back and forth. The test platform is provided with a support seat for placing the butterfly valve. Above the gantry seat is a clamping hydraulic cylinder located directly above the support seat. The telescopic rod of the clamping hydraulic cylinder passes downward through the top of the gantry seat and is fixedly connected to a pressure seat for clamping the upper end of the butterfly valve. A high-pressure medium inlet hole is opened at the center of the support seat, extending to the bottom of the test platform.
[0005] Furthermore, the lower orifice of the high-pressure medium inlet is connected to a high-pressure water pipe and a high-pressure air pipe via a T-junction, and both the high-pressure water pipe and the high-pressure air pipe are equipped with pressure sensors and valves.
[0006] Furthermore, a support frame is provided on the front side of the base, the upper surface of the support frame is flush with the surface of the base, a pair of guide rails are connected to the support frame and the base, and a slide block that slides with the guide rails is connected to the bottom of the detection table.
[0007] Furthermore, limit blocks are provided at the front and rear ends of the guide rail.
[0008] Furthermore, the base is provided with a movable hydraulic cylinder for driving the test platform to move back and forth. One end of the movable hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the base, and the other end is hinged to the bottom of the test platform.
[0009] Furthermore, a channel running along the front-to-back direction is provided at the middle position on the upper side of the base, and the movable hydraulic cylinder is located in the channel.
[0010] Furthermore, the support base and the clamping hydraulic cylinder are provided in two corresponding sets.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The large-diameter butterfly valve testing device of the present invention has a reasonable structural design, is stable and reliable, has high strength and large load-bearing capacity, and applies stable pressure, ensuring that both ends of the butterfly valve are completely sealed to avoid leakage and improve the accuracy of test results; it is convenient and practical, and the test platform that can move back and forth facilitates the hoisting and placement of the butterfly valve, which can improve the testing efficiency and reduce labor intensity.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0018] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0019] like Figures 1-3As shown, a large-diameter butterfly valve testing device includes a base 100 and a gantry seat 200 located above the base. A movable testing platform 300 is provided on the upper side of the base. A support seat 310 for placing the butterfly valve is provided on the testing platform. A clamping hydraulic cylinder 400 is located directly above the support seat above the gantry seat. The telescopic rod of the clamping hydraulic cylinder passes downward through the top of the gantry seat and is fixedly connected to a pressure seat 410 for clamping the upper end of the butterfly valve. A high-pressure medium inlet 320 extending to the bottom of the testing platform is provided at the center of the support seat. Because large-diameter butterfly valves are large and heavy, the movable testing platform facilitates the lifting and placement of the butterfly valve. Simultaneously, the device features a reasonable structural design, high strength, large load-bearing capacity, and stable pressure application, ensuring complete sealing of both ends of the butterfly valve to prevent leakage and improve the accuracy of the test results. When the testing platform moves forward, it serves as a placement position for lifting and placing the butterfly valve; when it moves backward, it serves as a testing position for testing. During testing, the hydraulic cylinder 400 is extended, and the pressure seat presses against the upper end of the butterfly valve, which cooperates with the support seat to seal the upper and lower sections of the butterfly valve. Then, high-pressure water or high-pressure gas is introduced through the high-pressure medium inlet 320 to test the airtightness.
[0020] In this embodiment, the lower orifice of the high-pressure medium inlet is connected to a high-pressure water pipe 500 and a high-pressure gas pipe 600 via a T-junction. Both the high-pressure water pipe and the high-pressure gas pipe are equipped with pressure sensors and valves. One of the two media, high-pressure water and high-pressure gas, is selected for testing. By detecting the pressure through the pressure sensor, it can be determined whether the sealing performance is qualified.
[0021] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the testing platform can be effectively supported when it moves forward, a support frame 700 is provided on the front side of the base. The upper surface of the support frame is flush with the surface of the base. A pair of guide rails 110 are connected to the support frame and the base. A slide block 330 that slides with the guide rails is connected to the bottom of the testing platform 300. The guide rails extend from the base to the support frame.
[0022] In this embodiment, to improve safety, limit blocks 800 are provided at the front and rear ends of the guide rail to prevent the testing platform from falling due to exceeding the safe travel distance.
[0023] In this embodiment, the base is provided with a movable hydraulic cylinder 900 for driving the test platform to move back and forth. One end of the movable hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the base and the other end is hinged to the bottom of the test platform.
[0024] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the height of the testing platform, a channel 120 with a front-to-back orientation is provided at the middle position of the upper side of the base, and the movable hydraulic cylinder is located in the channel.
[0025] In this embodiment, the support base and the clamping hydraulic cylinder are provided in two corresponding sets, which can simultaneously complete the detection of two butterfly valves and improve the detection efficiency.
