Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure testing technology, and in particular to a multi-station pipe fitting pressure testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe pressure testing is a crucial process for verifying the strength and sealing performance of pipelines, primarily ensuring their safe and reliable operation during installation and use. During testing, liquid (usually water) or gas is injected into the pipe fitting using pressure testing equipment, pressurized to a specified value, maintained for a period of time, and the pressure is observed to detect any pressure drop or leakage. This method effectively identifies manufacturing defects, welding problems, or installation errors in pipe fittings, thereby preventing safety accidents such as leaks and bursts caused by fitting failure.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN201740705U discloses a pipe fitting pressure testing device for performing water pressure or air tightness tests on pipe fittings. The device includes a rigid inner ring disposed within the pipe fitting, and a locking flange disposed on the outer ring of the pipe fitting. The rigid inner ring and the locking flange together clamp and fix the pipe fitting. It also includes a flange cover disposed at the end of the pipe fitting and fixedly connected to the locking flange. A sealing gasket is provided between the flange cover and the end of the pipe fitting. This invention, through the above structural design, is applicable to pressure testing of pipe fittings of different lengths, greatly improving the applicability of the testing equipment.

[0004] However, existing pipe fitting pressure testing equipment typically only allows for pressure testing of a single pipe fitting at a time. Multiple pipe fittings need to be clamped and positioned repeatedly before pressure testing, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, affecting overall testing efficiency and increasing the workload and labor intensity of operators.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a multi-station pipe fitting pressure testing machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-station pipe fitting testing machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution to the aforementioned technical problems: A multi-station pipe fitting pressure testing machine includes a base. Two hydraulic cylinders are fixed on the top of the base and are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the base. A connecting plate is fixed on the output end of each hydraulic cylinder.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a multi-station pipe fitting pressure testing machine, including a base 4. Two hydraulic cylinders 5 are fixed on the top of the base 4 and are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the base 4. A connecting plate 6 is fixed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinders 5. Multiple connecting rods 9 are fixed on the side of the connecting plate 6 near the center of the base 4, and an end pressure plate 8 is fixed on the end of the connecting rod 9 away from the connecting plate 6. A seat plate 3 is fixed in the middle of the top side of the base 4. A clamping assembly 1 is provided on the top of the seat plate 3, and a pressure adjustment assembly 2 is provided at one end of the clamping assembly 1. In use, multiple pipe fittings to be tested are placed separately in multiple stations on the top of the seat plate 3, and the multiple pipe fittings are synchronously clamped and fixed by the cooperation of the pressure adjustment assembly 2 and the clamping assembly 1. Simultaneously, the pipe fittings are positioned so that both ends of the fittings are aligned with the center of the end pressure plates 8, thereby achieving synchronous clamping and positioning of multiple pipe fittings. This facilitates pressure testing of the fittings, effectively improving the overall pressure testing efficiency of multiple pipe fittings and eliminating the need for manual clamping and adjustment of each fitting individually, saving manpower and effectively reducing the workload of workers. After the fittings are positioned and clamped, two hydraulic cylinders 5 are activated. The output ends of the hydraulic cylinders 5 drive the connecting plate 6 to move, thereby causing multiple end pressure plates 8 to press against the two ends of the fittings, sealing the two ends of the fittings. Then, water with a certain hydraulic pressure is introduced into the fittings, creating a certain hydraulic pressure inside the fittings for pressure testing.

[0027] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it is worth noting that the clamping assembly 1 includes a protrusion 109 fixed to the top side of the base plate 3. Multiple protrusions 109 are provided and are equidistantly distributed. A placement groove 110 is provided between adjacent protrusions 109, and the placement groove 110 is aligned with the end pressure plate 8. A liquid cavity 108 is formed inside the protrusion 109. A connecting cylinder 101 is fixed to the side of each of the protrusions 109. One end of the connecting cylinder 101 inside the protrusion 109 has a through-hole 104 communicating with the liquid cavity 108. A connecting rod 105 is inserted inside the connecting cylinder 101. One end of the connecting rod 105 is fixed with a clamping plate 106 located inside the placement groove 110, and the other end of the connecting rod 105 is fixed with a piston plate a102 that fits tightly against the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 101. A connecting pipe 111 connects adjacent liquid cavities 108. During operation, multiple pipe fittings to be tested are placed separately into multiple placement slots 110. Multiple bosses 109 are hydraulically pressurized, which drives the piston plate a102 to move within the connecting cylinder 101. The piston plate a102, via the connecting rod 105, moves the clamping plate 106 closer to the pipe fitting. This clamps the pipe fittings in place, positioning them in the middle of the placement slot 110, aligning both ends of the pipe fitting with the center of the end pressure plate 8. This allows for simultaneous clamping and positioning of multiple pipe fittings, facilitating pressure testing. It also allows for fixing and positioning pipe fittings of different sizes, effectively improving the overall pressure testing efficiency of multiple pipe fittings. This eliminates the need for manual clamping and adjustment of each pipe fitting individually, saving manpower and reducing the workload of workers.

[0028] Further as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that the connecting cylinder 101 is equipped with a spring 103 located on the side of the piston plate a102 away from the connecting rod 105. The two ends of the spring 103 are fixed to the side of the piston plate a102 and the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 101, respectively. In actual operation, when the hydraulic pressure inside the boss 109 is removed, the spring 103 returns to its original length. The spring 103 pulls the piston plate a102 back to its original position inside the connecting cylinder 101, that is, the two clamping plates 106 are adjusted to move away from each other, so that the clamping plates 106 are reset, which facilitates the clamping and fixing of pipe fittings of different specifications and sizes.

[0029] Further as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it is worth noting that the pressure regulating assembly 2 includes an end sleeve 201 fixed to the outer wall of one of the bosses 109 and communicating with the liquid chamber 108. A nut sleeve 204 is fixed inside the end of the end sleeve 201 away from the boss 109. A threaded rod 203 is threadedly connected inside the nut sleeve 204. A piston plate b202 that fits tightly against the inner wall of the end sleeve 201 is fixed to one end of the threaded rod 203. The end sleeve 201 and the liquid chamber 108 are filled with a certain amount of liquid, which can be water or liquid liquid. In specific operations, such as oil pressure, the threaded rod 203 is rotated, which drives the piston plate b202 to move out of the end-connecting cylinder 201. The piston plate b202 forces some of the liquid in the end-connecting cylinder 201 into the liquid chamber 108 of one of the protrusions 109. The liquid is then simultaneously transported to the interior of multiple protrusions 109 through multiple connecting pipes 111, so that the interior of multiple protrusions 109 is simultaneously hydraulically pressurized. This hydraulic pressure then drives multiple clamping plates 106 to simultaneously clamp and position multiple pipe fittings.

[0030] Further as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that a rubber pad a107 is attached and fixed to the side of the clamping plate 106 away from the connecting rod 105, and a rubber pad b10 is attached and fixed to the side of the end pressure plate 8 away from the connecting rod 9. In actual operation, the rubber pad a107 increases the friction of the clamping plate 106 in clamping the pipe fitting, thereby improving the stability of clamping the pipe fitting.

[0031] This solution has the following working process: Multiple pipe fittings to be tested are placed separately into multiple placement slots 110. By rotating the threaded rod 203, the threaded rod 203 drives the piston plate b202 to move within the end-connecting cylinder 201. The piston plate b202 forces some of the liquid in the end-connecting cylinder 201 into the liquid chamber 108 of one of the protrusions 109. The liquid is then simultaneously transported to the interior of the multiple protrusions 109 through multiple connecting pipes 111, so that the interior of the multiple protrusions 109 is simultaneously hydraulically pressurized. This hydraulic pressure drives the piston plate a102 to move within the connecting cylinder 101. The piston plate a102 drives the clamping plate 106 to move towards the pipe fitting through the connecting rod 105. This causes the two clamping plates 106 in the placement slot 110 to clamp and fix the pipe fitting, thus fixing and positioning multiple pipe fittings in the middle of the placement slot 110. This ensures that the two ends of the pipe fittings are aligned with the center of the end pressure plate 8, facilitating pressure testing of the pipe fittings.

[0032] Further as Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that a handle rod 205 is fixed on one end of the threaded rod 203 located outside the end sleeve 201, and a rubber sleeve is fitted on the surface of the handle rod 205; in actual operation, the threaded rod 203 can be easily rotated by the handle rod 205, which facilitates operation.

[0033] Further as Figure 7 As shown, it is worth noting that the connecting rod 9 has an infusion tank 11 that passes through the end pressure plate 8 inside, and an inlet pipe 7 that communicates with the infusion tank 11 is fixed on the side of the connecting rod 9. In actual operation, the inlet pipe 7 is connected to a pressure testing pump, and water is input into the infusion tank 11 through the inlet pipe 7 and delivered to the inside of the pipe fitting through the infusion tank 11, so that the inside of the pipe fitting has hydraulic pressure, and the side wall of the pipe fitting is checked for cracks and leaks, thereby performing pressure testing on the pipe fitting.

[0034] In summary: By using the pressure regulating component 2 and the clamping component 1 together, multiple pipe fittings are simultaneously clamped and fixed, and the positions of the pipe fittings are positioned so that both ends of the pipe fittings are aligned with the center of the end pressure plate 8. This achieves simultaneous clamping and positioning of multiple pipe fittings, facilitating pressure testing of the pipe fittings, effectively improving the overall pressure testing efficiency of multiple pipe fittings, eliminating the need for manual clamping and adjustment of multiple pipe fittings one by one, saving manpower, and effectively reducing the workload of workers.
