Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a low-pressure test chamber, specifically an adapter for calibrating a low-pressure test chamber. Background Technology
[0002] Low-pressure test chambers can simulate low-pressure conditions in high-altitude or space environments and are widely used in aerospace, electronic components, materials science and other fields.
[0003] The accuracy and stability of the internal pressure parameters of a low-pressure test chamber are crucial, directly affecting the reliability of test results; therefore, calibration is essential. According to regulations, there are two main methods: first, setting different pressure values at room temperature and calibrating the pressure parameters after stabilization; second, setting different pressure parameters under different temperature conditions and calibrating them simultaneously. Currently, at room temperature, the pressure gauge is typically placed inside the low-pressure test chamber, and readings are taken through an observation window. However, when calibrating under different temperature conditions, the pressure gauge is located outside the chamber and needs to be connected to the pressure test port of the low-pressure test chamber via a threaded connection or flange connection.
[0004] The following problems exist in practice:
[0005] 1. Interface mismatch
[0006] The pressure measurement / control interfaces (such as quick couplings, flanges, threaded interfaces) of low-pressure test chambers are often not compatible with the interfaces (such as G1 / 4, G1 / 8, NPT, compression fittings, etc.) of standard calibration equipment, and cannot be directly connected.
[0007] 2. Poor sealing performance
[0008] Using general-purpose adapters or hoses for temporary connections often leads to leaks due to poor sealing in low-pressure (high-vacuum) environments, which can seriously affect calibration accuracy and even damage the vacuum level of the test chamber.
[0009] 3. Cumbersome operation
[0010] Each calibration requires finding a suitable adapter, wrapping it with Teflon tape, and laboriously tightening it, which is inefficient and the repeated disassembly and assembly can easily damage the interface;
[0011] 4. No dedicated passage
[0012] Some test chambers do not have a dedicated calibration interface, requiring calibration to be performed on the working interface, which may affect the normal control of the test chamber or require the control system to be suspended.
[0013] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes an adapter for calibrating low-pressure test chambers that features a reasonable structure, simple operation, fast and reliable connection, excellent sealing performance, and strong adaptability. Utility Model Content
[0014] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adapter for calibrating a low-pressure test chamber that has a reasonable structure, is easy to operate, has a fast and reliable connection, excellent sealing performance, and strong adaptability.
[0015] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0016] An adapter for calibrating a low-pressure test chamber includes a standard pressure gauge connector, characterized by further including a connecting component. The standard pressure gauge connector has a tubular threaded structure and includes a standard pressure gauge interface end and a pressure signal inlet end. The pressure signal inlet end has an internal thread. The connecting component includes a support tube and a tapered flexible tube. The support tube is an integral structure formed by an externally threaded tube and a hollow rotating body. The externally threaded tube is connected to the pressure signal inlet end via a threaded fit. The tapered flexible tube includes a large end and a small end. The large end is fitted onto the hollow rotating body, and the small end is the test port of the low-pressure test chamber.
[0017] Furthermore, the hollow rotating body is frustum-shaped.
[0018] Furthermore, the ratio of the outer diameter of the large end to the outer diameter of the small end is 2:1 to 2.5:1.
[0019] Furthermore, the standard pressure gauge interface end has an internal thread.
[0020] This utility model adopts a quick-change, universal connector design, which significantly simplifies the installation and disassembly process of calibration equipment, greatly improves work efficiency, and is especially suitable for frequent calibration or on-site calibration.
[0021] This invention uses a conical flexible tube as the test port of the low-pressure test chamber, which can be matched with different structural forms and different sizes of interfaces of the low-pressure test chamber, and can effectively prevent leakage to ensure calibration accuracy.
[0022] This utility model has a reasonable structure, is easy to operate, connects quickly and reliably, has excellent sealing performance, and is highly adaptable. Attached Figure Description
