Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instrument testing technology, and in particular to a calibration device for measuring instruments. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of industrial automation and process control, pressure gauges are key measuring instruments, and their accuracy directly affects production safety and quality control. Traditional calibration devices generally suffer from the following technical defects: current equipment mostly uses a single air path to connect the instrument under test, allowing only 1-2 instruments to be tested at a time, resulting in long testing cycles and frequent manual operations. For example, the device for pressure gauge metrological testing proposed in application number CN202222759404.1, although optimizing the single-gauge connection efficiency through a guide needle structure, does not solve the bottleneck problem of batch testing. To address these defects, we propose a metrological instrument calibration device. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a metering instrument calibration device, comprising: a detection mechanism, a gas supply structure, and a limiting mechanism.
[0026] The testing mechanism includes a base 10, which is fixed to the testing platform by M12 anchor bolts. A cover plate 11 is fixed to the upper surface of the base 10 by bolts, and a sealing ring is provided between the cover plate 11 and the base 10.
[0027] A circular hole is opened on the upper surface of the cover plate 11. An assembly tube 12 is rotatably connected to the circular hole through a bearing. The assembly tube 12 is made of 304 stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 80×5mm. The inner ring of the bearing adopts an H7 / k6 transition fit. Three sets of connecting tubes 13 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the assembly tube 12. Each set contains three connecting tubes 13. A threaded cylinder 14 is provided at the upper end of the connecting tube 13. One of the threaded cylinders 14 is equipped with a reference pressure gauge 15, and the others are equipped with pressure gauges 16 to be tested (according to the requirements of JJG52-99, the error of the standard instrument should not be greater than 1 / 4 of the allowable error of the gauge under test. If testing an industrial gauge with an accuracy of ±1.6%FS, the accuracy of the reference instrument should be above 0.4).
[0028] A shut-off valve 30 is installed on the surface of the connecting pipe 13 to control the opening and closing of the air passage of the connecting pipe 13, or an automatic valve (such as a solenoid valve) is integrated on the surface of the connecting pipe 13 to replace the shut-off valve 30 and is opened and closed sequentially by the controller. The connecting pipe 13 is a Φ10mm copper pipe, and the threaded cylinder 14 is machined into a standard instrument interface. When the instrument is replaced, the shut-off valve 30 can cut off the air passage of the corresponding workstation individually.
[0029] The gas transmission structure includes a high-pressure gas cylinder 20, an exhaust pipe 21, and an inlet pipe 22. The exhaust pipe 21 is connected to the lower end of the assembly pipe 12 via a rotary joint 23. The rotary joint 23 is a double-end mechanical seal rotary joint with a sealing pressure ≥10MPa. An electric regulating valve 24 is installed on the surface of the exhaust pipe 21, and a pressure sensor is linked to achieve closed-loop control. The inlet pipe 22 is connected to a gas pump 25 and is equipped with a one-way valve 26. The inlet pipe 22 is installed at the inlet end of the high-pressure gas cylinder 20, and the exhaust pipe 21 is installed at the exhaust end of the high-pressure gas cylinder 20.
[0030] A pressure relief valve 50 is fixedly installed at the top of the assembly pipe 12. The high-pressure gas cylinder 20 is equipped with a safety valve 27. The safety valve 27 is set at 9MPa±0.5MPa. After the air pump 25 is started, compressed air enters the high-pressure gas cylinder 20 through the one-way valve 26. When the pressure reaches 6MPa, it automatically stops. The electric regulating valve 24 is opened, and the gas enters the assembly pipe 12 through the rotary joint 23 and is distributed to each testing station. The pressure relief valve 50 is set at 8MPa and automatically opens to exhaust gas when there is overpressure.
[0031] A limiting mechanism is located above the cover plate 11 to limit the assembly tube 12. The limiting mechanism includes a guide sleeve 40 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cover plate 11, a limiting pin 41 axially slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide sleeve 40, a baffle 42 integrally formed on the end of the limiting pin 41, a limiting plate 43 fixedly installed in the middle section of the limiting pin 41, a return spring 44 sleeved on the surface of the limiting pin 41 and abutting between the guide sleeve 40 and the limiting plate 43, a limiting ring 45 fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the assembly tube 12, and three arc-shaped limiting holes 46 evenly distributed along the circumference of the limiting ring 45. The limiting ring 45 and the assembly tube 12 are interference-fitted, and a handle is fixedly installed on one end of the baffle 42.
[0032] In its natural state, the return spring 44 drives the end of the limit pin 41 to insert into any limit hole 46 to achieve circumferential positioning. The working end of the limit pin 41 is an arc surface with a radius of curvature that matches the inner diameter of the limit hole 46. When the assembly tube 12 is rotated to the first position, the limit pin 41 automatically engages with the limit hole 46 under the force of the return spring 44. The difference between the readings of each pressure gauge 16 to be tested and the reference pressure gauge 15 is compared. If the error exceeds ±1.6%FS, it is deemed unqualified.
[0033] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of this utility model are as follows:
[0034] Screw the reference pressure gauge 15 into one of the threaded cylinders 14 until the sealing gasket is tightened. After the test pressure gauge 16 is installed, close the corresponding shut-off valve 30. Start the air pump 25 to a pressure value of 6MPa and then stop the air pump 25. Open the electric regulating valve 24 and observe that the pressure rise rate of the assembly pipe 12 is ≤0.3MPa / s. Pull down the handle to make the limit pin 41 disengage from the limit hole 46. Rotate the assembly pipe 12 to the first station and hear a "click" positioning sound. Open the corresponding station shut-off valves 30 in sequence. After the reading of the test pressure gauge 16 stabilizes, record the deviation from the reading of the reference pressure gauge 15. The quality of the pressure gauge can be detected by comparison.
[0035] When the pressure exceeds 8MPa, the pressure relief valve 50 should open automatically. In an emergency, manually close the electric regulating valve 24 and disconnect the power supply.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
