Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve body testing technology, specifically a working platform for valve body strength testing. Background Technology
[0002] The valve body is a pressure-bearing component in a fluid control system used to regulate, cut off, or change the direction of medium flow. The strength test is conducted by applying a test pressure higher than the working pressure to detect whether the valve body has leakage, deformation, or cracking. Currently, valve body strength tests mostly use simple brackets to fix the valve body, pressurize it manually or with an electric pump, and observe the pressure value using a pressure gauge. The test platform is usually an open structure, relying on on-site monitoring by operators.
[0003] Existing strength testing platforms have poor compatibility with valve bodies of different sizes. When changing the test object, the entire clamping components need to be replaced, which is inconvenient for installation and disassembly. In addition, in open testing, if the valve body bursts due to insufficient strength, the fragments can easily fly and cause equipment damage or personnel injury. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing valve body testing platforms are cumbersome for clamping, installing, and disassembling valve bodies of different sizes, and open testing poses a safety hazard if the valve body bursts.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The present invention proposes a working platform for valve body strength testing, including a base and a test chamber set on the base. The test chamber is provided with a placement platform and a clamping structure for fixing the valve body. The top of the test chamber is provided with an electric telescopic rod and the free end of the electric telescopic rod extends into the interior.
[0006] The clamping structure includes a support frame and a screw rotatably mounted on opposite sidewalls within the support frame. A drive motor is mounted on the sidewall of the test chamber, and its power output shaft is connected to the screw. A guide groove is provided on one side of the support frame. The screw has two sets of threads with opposite directions. It also includes two sets of threaded blocks that are threadedly connected to the two sets of threaded blocks respectively. The other end of each threaded block passes through and is slidably mounted in the guide groove. A pressure-holding assembly is provided on the other end of each threaded block and on the free end of the electric telescopic rod. The structure also includes an air compressor mounted on the top of the test chamber. The air compressor is connected to the pressure-holding assembly at the free end of the electric telescopic rod via an air pipe.
[0007] Preferred technical solution 1: The pressure holding assembly includes a positioning plate disposed at one end of the threaded block, and multiple sets of sleeves are disposed on the positioning plate with the central axis of the positioning plate as the center. It also includes a sliding rod slidably disposed at one end of the sleeve, and a mounting plate is disposed at the other end of the sliding rod. Springs are sleeved on the sleeves and the sliding rod, and the two ends of the springs are respectively connected to the positioning plate and the mounting plate. A pressure sensor is also disposed on the positioning plate and is abutted against the mounting plate. A positioning hole is disposed on one side of the mounting plate. It also includes a sealing member, and a positioning post is disposed at one end of the sealing member corresponding to the positioning hole. The mounting plate and the sealing member are magnetically connected. An air nozzle is disposed on the sealing member at one end of the electric telescopic rod and the air nozzle is connected to the air pipe.
[0008] Preferred technical solution 2: The placement platform includes a U-shaped support frame set in the bottom wall of the test chamber. An adjusting sleeve is rotatably installed in the U-shaped support frame, and an adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the adjusting sleeve. The upper end of the adjusting screw passes through the top of the support platform and extends upward. The platform also includes a support platform whose lower end is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting screw. Guide posts are provided at the four corners of the support platform, and the bottom of the guide posts is slidably installed on the U-shaped support frame.
[0009] Preferred technical solution 3: The top of the support platform is provided with a V-shaped recess, and an anti-slip rubber pad is pasted on the surface of the recess. The surface of the rubber pad is provided with diamond-shaped anti-slip texture to prevent the valve body from sliding during testing.
[0010] Preferred technical solution four: The other end of the threaded block is also connected to a protective rod by bolts. The two sets of protective rods are respectively provided with a transparent protective plate one and a protective plate two. The protective plate one is also provided with a slot and matched with the protective plate two. When the screw drives the threaded block to move relative to each other, the protective plate two is inserted into the slot.
[0011] Preferred technical solution five: A sealed door is hinged to the front of the test chamber, and an observation window is provided on the sealed door. A controller is provided on one side of the test chamber. The pressure sensor, electric telescopic rod, drive motor and pressure sensor are all electrically connected to the controller. A computer is also provided on the base.
[0012] The present invention proposes a working platform for valve body strength testing. The beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above structure are as follows:
[0013] (1) By driving the relative movement of the threaded block through the bidirectional threaded screw, and with the linkage control of the pressure sensor and the controller, the clamping pressure can be automatically adjusted to the preset threshold to achieve precise and automated clamping of valve bodies of different sizes, avoiding the tedious operation of manual adjustment; at the same time, the magnetic connection + positioning column sealing part design facilitates quick replacement to adapt to different valve body interfaces, and the height-adjustable placement platform can adapt to the axial dimension difference of the valve body, greatly simplifying the testing, installation and disassembly process of valve bodies of different specifications, which not only improves the clamping accuracy to avoid damage to the valve body, but also reduces the time for manual intervention;
[0014] (2) When the screw drives the threaded block to move, the second protective plate is inserted into the slot of the first protective plate to achieve immediate protection on the front side of the test; the test chamber is equipped with a sealed door and an observation window to form a closed test space, which can prevent fragments from flying when the valve body bursts. At the same time, the observation window ensures the visualization of the test process, significantly improving the safety of the test process and protecting the operators and surrounding equipment.
[0015] (3) The clamping pressure and valve body force data are collected in real time by pressure sensor, and the air pressure data of air compressor is transmitted to computer in sync. Combined with built-in software, the deformation and stress state of valve body during pressurization process are analyzed. Compared with the traditional qualitative judgment method that only relies on "whether it bursts", the valve body strength performance can be quantitatively analyzed. At the same time, the controller automatically controls the clamping position and the computer records the data in real time. This not only avoids the error of manual reading, but also retains the test data for easy traceability, providing a scientific basis for the valve body strength qualification judgment and improving the reliability and professionalism of the test results.
