Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of testing tooling technology, and more specifically, to a complex valve body airtightness testing tooling. Background Technology

[0002] Valve bodies, as pipeline control components in the gas or liquid transmission process, are widely used in industries closely related to residential life and industrial production, such as gas and oil. When substandard valve bodies enter the market and are used in work or daily life, leaks may occur, potentially causing serious consequences. Therefore, after the valve body is manufactured, it is usually necessary to perform airtightness testing to ensure product quality.

[0003] In existing technologies, the airtightness testing of valve bodies typically uses submersible testing devices. That is, a sealing plate is installed on an output device such as a cylinder, the valve body is placed on a worktable, and the cylinder's movement presses the sealing plate against the valve body's opening to seal it. Simultaneously, gas is introduced into the valve body, and the worktable moves down, submerging the valve body into a water tank. The airtightness is then checked manually for air bubbles. However, most existing airtightness testing fixtures are designed for simple valve bodies. For complex valve bodies with multiple openings, such as those with... Figure 1 The complex valve body shown in the image involves multiple openings, making it difficult to guarantee a seal. Therefore, the testing of specific valve bodies usually requires customization, which increases the cost of testing the airtightness of complex valve bodies.

[0025] in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the complex valve body structure to be tested for sealing in this application, which has several openings on its side wall.

[0026] This application proposes a complex valve body airtightness testing fixture, comprising a water tank 1, a pneumatic cylinder 2, and a testing mechanism. The output shaft of the pneumatic cylinder 2 is fixed to the testing mechanism. The pneumatic cylinder 2 is located inside the water tank 1. The pneumatic cylinder 2 is used to drive the testing mechanism to rise and fall to test the airtightness of the complex valve body. The testing mechanism includes a base 3, a support column 4, a support plate 5, a first sealing mechanism, a second sealing mechanism, and a fixing cylinder 6. The support column 4 connects the base 3 and the support plate 5. The fixing cylinder 6 is installed above the support plate 5. A rubber pad is fixed to the end of the output shaft of the fixing cylinder 6. The rubber pad extends between the base 3 and the support plate 5. The fixing cylinder 6 controls the extension and retraction of the rubber pad to press the top wall of the complex valve body, thereby fixing the complex valve body. A sealing gasket 11 is provided on the base 3 to seal the bottom of the complex valve body. A sealing mechanism is fixed on the support column 4. The first sealing mechanism is a first cylinder 7. The output shaft of the first cylinder 7 is fixed with a first plug. The first plug is used to seal the openings at both ends of the complex valve body. A first slide rail 12 is provided above the chassis 3 and below the support plate 5. The second sealing mechanism includes a sliding plate 8, a slider 9, and a second cylinder 10. The sliding plate 8 slides with the first slide rail 12 through the slider 9. The second cylinder 10 can move left and right along the direction of the first slide rail 12. The sliding plate 8 is provided with a vertical opening 13 and a second slide rail 14. The second cylinder 10 moves up and down along the second slide rail 14. Thus, the position of the second cylinder 10 can be freely adjusted to meet the sealing requirements of openings at different heights on the side wall of the complex valve body. The output shaft of the second cylinder 10 extends from the vertical opening 13. A second plug is fixed at the end of the output shaft of the second cylinder 10.

[0027] The second cylinder 10 has a fixed plate 15 at its bottom. The fixed plate 15 has a threaded hole and cooperates with the second slide rail 14. The threaded hole has a tightening screw 16, which can tighten the fixed plate 15 and the slide plate 8 to ensure that the position of the second cylinder 10 is relatively stable.

[0028] The system includes three second sealing mechanisms. The number of second sealing mechanisms can be adjusted according to the number of lateral openings to meet the sealing requirements of different complex valve bodies.

[0029] The chassis 3 is provided with a third slide rail 17 and a moving block 18. The moving block 18 and the third slide rail 17 are slidably engaged. The sealing gasket 11 is fixed above the moving block 18. The moving block 18 can be adjusted according to the position of the opening below the complex valve body to meet the sealing requirements.

[0030] Specifically, the first slide rail 12 includes a body and a movable end 19. A mounting hole is provided between the body and the movable end 19, and a fixing bolt is installed in the mounting hole.

[0031] Specifically, the testing fixture also includes an air source and a controller, the controller being used to control... gas The working state of the pressure cylinder 2, the first cylinder 7, the second cylinder 10, and the fixed cylinder 6, wherein the air source is connected to the pressure cylinder 2, the first cylinder 7, the second cylinder 10, and the fixed cylinder 6.

[0032] The first plug and the second plug are detachably connected, and the plugs are replaceable to meet the sealing requirements of complex valve bodies with different opening sizes.

[0033] In use, the complex valve body is first fixed on the moving block 18, and the moving block 18 is moved inward along the third slide rail 17. At this time, the controller controls the first cylinder 7 and the fixed cylinder 6 to work. The first plug is used to seal the openings at both ends of the complex valve body. The fixed cylinder 6 presses the top wall of the complex valve body. Then, the sliding plate 8 slides with the first slide rail 12 through the slider 9. The second cylinder 10 can move left and right along the first slide rail 12 and up and down along the second slide rail 14. Thus, the position of the second cylinder 10 can be freely adjusted to control the movement of the second cylinder 10. The second plug seals the openings at different heights on the side wall of the complex valve body. Finally, the pneumatic cylinder 2 is used to drive the detection mechanism to move down and into the water tank 1 for the airtightness detection of the complex valve body.
