[0026] See Figure 1This utility model discloses a special tool for measuring the pressure of a gas pressure regulator, comprising several pressure gauges 1 with different measuring ranges, a first three-way connector 2, and a second three-way connector 3 connected to one end of the first three-way connector 2. The first three-way connector 2 is provided with a first pressure-resistant hose 13 and a second pressure-resistant hose 4 connected thereto. The other end of the second pressure-resistant hose 4 is provided with an inflation / deflation bladder 5. The second three-way connector 3 is provided with a multi-way valve seat 7 and a miniature overpressure relief valve 8 connected thereto. The multi-way valve seat 7 is provided with three C-type quick-connect female connectors 9. The pressure gauge 1 is provided with a C-type quick-connect male connector 10 for insertion and mating with the C-type quick-connect female connectors 9. A second needle valve 11 is also provided at the input end of the pressure gauge 1. A high-precision needle valve 6 is provided on the inflation / deflation bladder 5 and connected thereto. First, based on the user's gas equipment parameters and actual operating conditions, open the pressure gauge 1 with the corresponding range. During use, connect the first pressure-resistant hose 13 to the pressure gauge's single-point probe. Preset the maximum protection pressure of the miniature overpressure relief valve 8 according to the pressure gauge 1's range to prevent impact or damage to the pressure gauge 1 caused by pressure fluctuations or malfunctions of the pressure regulator. When the gas to be tested is connected to the system, the miniature overpressure relief valve 8 controls the system pressure in real time. If the pressure exceeds the set threshold, it immediately activates the pressure relief protection. Operators can precisely adjust the protection pressure by rotating the spring cap of the miniature overpressure relief valve 8 based on the pressure changes measured by the pressure gauge 1. The opening of the second needle valve 11 ensures a uniform and stable gas load on the pressure gauge 1. The pressure relief bladder 5 is not merely a simple pressure buffer component but also a core component with pressure regulation capabilities. Through the built-in high-precision needle valve 6, it can control the required test gas pressure. During measurement, operators only need to pressurize the bladder to the set value according to the rated pressure parameters of the equipment being tested to adjust the internal pressure and achieve precise protection pressure setting. When the gas pressure in the system exceeds the set protection threshold, the high-precision needle valve 6 of the bladder opens to release excess pressurized gas, precisely regulating the safe pressure range. After measurement, when it is necessary to switch to pressure gauge 1 with other ranges, quickly open pressure gauge 1 with other ranges and repeat the above operation until the pressure measurement work of the remaining gas supply pressure regulators is completed. When the existing pressure gauge 1 cannot meet the requirements, a suitable pressure gauge 1 can be quickly replaced through C-type quick-connect male connector 10 and C-type quick-connect female connector 9.

[0027] Specifically, the miniature overpressure relief valve 8, the high-precision needle valve 6, and the second needle valve 11 are all existing technologies. The miniature overpressure relief valve 8's valve core is made of a special alloy material, possessing extremely high hardness and wear resistance, enabling it to maintain excellent sealing performance and operational sensitivity under long-term, frequent operation. During operation, if the pressure in the pressure regulating system exceeds the safe range, the miniature overpressure relief valve 8 can quickly open within a short time, precisely controlling the pressure relief rate and amount, thus stabilizing the system pressure within the safe range. Its opening pressure error is controlled within ±5%, and its repeatable opening and closing performance is excellent, effectively ensuring the safe operation of the pressure gauge 1 and the entire pressure measuring tool during maintenance and commissioning.

[0028] The valve core of the second needle valve 11 reduces the impact and turbulence during gas flow. By rotating the control unit of the second needle valve 11, the gas flow rate can be continuously and precisely adjusted. This precise flow control capability ensures a stable gas flow rate for the pressure gauge 1 under different gas supply pressure conditions, guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of the measurement data. Whether for low-flow, small-range measurements or high-flow, large-range detections, the internal and external threads of the second needle valve 11 can quickly adjust to the optimal working state to meet diverse measurement needs.

[0029] Specifically, the first tee connector 2 is a 1 / 2-inch pagoda tee, and the second tee connector 3 is a 1 / 2-inch tee. The application of internal and external threads in the 1 / 2-inch pagoda tee and the 1 / 2-inch tee enables the connection between pipes of different diameters and the rational distribution of gas, making the entire airflow path smoother. Example 2

[0030] See Figure 2 Based on Embodiment 1, to prevent dust and other contaminants from entering the pressure regulator during the pressure adjustment process, an air filter mechanism 12 is provided between the pressure relief bladder 5 and the second pressure-resistant hose 4. This filter can filter the air injected into the pressure relief bladder 5, preventing dust from affecting the normal operation of the tool or gas pressure regulator in this embodiment.

[0031] For details, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5The air filtration mechanism 12 includes a filter housing 121, with a through chamber inside the filter housing 121. The inflation / deflation bladder 5 is connected to one end of the chamber. The end of the second pressure-resistant hose 4 is provided with a sliding sealing ring 122, which is axially slidable within the chamber. A side opening 1211 communicating with the chamber is provided on the side wall of the filter housing 121. A fixed sealing ring 123 is provided at the side opening 1211, which is opposite to the sliding sealing ring 122. A filter element 124 is detachably provided between the sliding sealing ring 122 and the fixed sealing ring 123. The filter element 124 can pass through the side opening 1211. The air filtration mechanism 12 also includes a locking member for driving the sliding sealing ring 122 to move toward the fixed sealing ring 123. In this embodiment, the filter element 124 is placed between the fixed sealing ring 123 and the fixed sealing ring 123, and the filter element 124 is clamped and fixed by the two, which makes the fixing more convenient. A side opening 1211 is provided, through which the filter element 124 can be easily put in and taken out, and the filter element 124 can be easily replaced. When replacing the filter element 124, it is not necessary to completely disassemble the air filtration mechanism 12.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The locking mechanism includes a first lever arm 125 and a second lever arm 126. One end of the first lever arm 125 is hinged to the outer wall of the filter housing 121. One end of the second lever arm 126 is hinged to the outer wall of the sliding sealing ring 122 through the side opening 1211, and the other end is hinged to the middle of the second lever arm 126. When replacing the filter element 124, the first lever arm 125 is pried open away from the filter housing 121, thereby moving the second lever arm 126 together. The second lever arm 126 moves the sliding sealing ring 122 away from the fixed sealing ring 123, so that the two are separated from the filter element 124. The old filter element 124 can be taken out through the side opening 1211, and then the new filter element 124 can be inserted through the side opening 1211. The first lever arm 125 is then reset, so that the sliding sealing ring 122 resets and cooperates with the fixed sealing ring 123 to clamp the filter element 124.

[0033] Among them, see Figure 4 The side opening 1211 is a strip-shaped slot extending axially along the filter mechanism housing 121, and two side openings 1211 are provided on the filter mechanism housing 121. (See reference) Figure 6 The sliding sealing ring 122 is provided with two directional blocks 1221 that are adapted to the side opening 1211, and the directional blocks 1221 are slidably disposed on the side opening 1211.

[0034] For information on the structure of filter element 124, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7The filter element 124 includes an annular structure 1241 on the outer ring and filter material 1242 at the center of the annular structure 1241. The annular structure 1241 is an elastic structure, which facilitates its fit with the sliding sealing ring 122 and the fixed sealing ring 123.

[0035] See Figure 5 Both the sliding sealing ring 122 and the fixed sealing ring 123 are equipped with pagoda-shaped connectors for mating with the flexible hose.

[0036] The working process of this utility model:

[0037] This utility model discloses a special tool for testing gas pressure regulators. During operation, the first pressure-resistant hose 13 is connected to the pressure testing nozzle of the regulator to be tested. The maximum protection pressure of the miniature overpressure relief valve 8 is preset according to the range of the pressure gauge 1 to prevent impact and damage to the pressure gauge 1 caused by pressure fluctuations or malfunctions of the regulator. When the gas to be tested is connected to the system, the miniature overpressure relief valve 8 controls the system pressure in real time. If the pressure exceeds the set threshold, the pressure relief protection is immediately activated. The operator can precisely adjust the protection pressure by rotating the spring cap of the miniature overpressure relief valve 8 according to the pressure changes measured by the pressure gauge 1. The opening of the second needle valve 11 ensures that the gas load on the pressure gauge 1 is uniform and stable. The pressure-relieving bladder 5 is not just a simple pressure buffer component, but also a core component with pressure regulation function. Through the built-in high-precision needle valve 6, it can control the required test gas pressure. During measurement, the operator only needs to pressurize the bladder to the set value according to the rated pressure parameters of the device under test to adjust the internal pressure and achieve precise protection pressure setting. When the gas pressure in the system exceeds the set protection threshold, the high-precision needle valve 6 of the bladder opens to release the excess pressurized gas and precisely regulate the safe pressure range.
