At the same time, it can reduce impact when closing, protecting the door and the structure of the housing 1 from damage. This makes the operation of the door more convenient and safe, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0028] The pressurization mechanism includes an air booster pump 10, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the tank 1. A high-pressure hose 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the air booster pump 10, and a high-pressure needle valve 8 is fixedly connected to the other side of the high-pressure hose 13. The high-pressure needle valve 8 pressurizes the inside of the water tank assembly 2 through a control switch. A cylinder 12 for raising and lowering the pressurization component is provided at the bottom of the water tank assembly 2. A hand valve 9 for controlling the cylinder 12 is connected to both ends of the cylinder 12. A first pressure gauge 7 for monitoring pressure is fixedly connected to one side of the hand valve 9.

[0029] The above solution involves: By installing an air booster pump 10 and fixing it to the bottom of the inner wall of the tank 1, along with a high-pressure hose 13 and a high-pressure needle valve 8, stable pressurization of the water tank assembly 2 can be achieved, improving pressurization efficiency and reliability. A cylinder 12 is installed at the bottom of the water tank assembly 2, with both ends connected to a hand-operated valve 9. A first pressure gauge 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the hand-operated valve 9, allowing for convenient control of the cylinder 12's lifting and lowering and real-time pressure monitoring, ensuring the safety and accuracy of the pressurization process. A shock-resistant high-pressure gauge 14 and an electrical contact pressure gauge 15 are installed at the high-pressure end of the air booster pump 10, while a low-pressure gauge 16 and a low-pressure precision pressure gauge 17 are installed at the low-pressure end, enabling comprehensive monitoring of the pressure at different locations of the booster pump and ensuring the stability of equipment operation. A wire mesh 3 is installed inside the right-side cover 4 for observation and protection. Additionally, a lighting fixture is installed on the top of the water tank assembly 2 for easy observation of the water tank's interior, enhancing both convenience and safety.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model:

[0031] When in use, the gas cylinder valve airtightness testing machine is set at room temperature. The valve is installed on the testing device, the valve outlet is blocked, and the valve is opened to any open state. The valve inlet is filled with 1.2 times the nominal working pressure and 0.05 MPa respectively to conduct the airtightness test. The valve is immersed in water and observed for 1 minute. There should be no bubbles. The gas cylinder valve airtightness testing machine performs an internal airtightness test on the valve. At room temperature, install the valve on the test apparatus, close the valve, remove the valve outlet seal, and charge the valve with 1.2 times the nominal working pressure and 0.05 MPa pressure respectively through the valve inlet to conduct an airtightness test. Immerse the valve in water and observe for 1 minute; there should be no bubbles. Add a gas booster pump to stabilize the test gas source pressure and ensure that the test pressure meets the requirements. During operation, turn on the light above the water tank assembly 2 and turn on the electrical control valve button of the air booster pump 10 to start the air booster pump 10. When the pressure increases to the set pressure, the pressure sensor of the electric contact pressure gauge 15 triggers a signal, and the air booster pump 10 is electrically controlled to stop working. The valve automatically closes, and the air circuit is in a pressure-holding state. Test the valve. After the test, open the vent valve to release pressure, and the test process ends.

[0032] In summary, this cylinder valve airtightness testing machine, through the coordinated use of the following components—box 1, water tank assembly 2, wire mesh 3, right side cover 4, hinge 5, gas spring 6, first pressure gauge 7, high-pressure needle valve 8, manual valve 9, air booster pump 10, bracket 11, cylinder 12, high-pressure hose 13, shock-resistant high-pressure gauge 14, electrical contact pressure gauge 15, low-pressure pressure gauge 16, and low-pressure precision pressure gauge 17—solves the problems of existing cylinder valve testing machines that only perform external airtightness tests at 1.2 nominal pressure, without performing low-pressure external airtightness tests at 0.05 MPa, without performing internal airtightness tests, and without an air source booster device resulting in insufficient external air source test pressure.
