Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline airtightness testing technology, and in particular to a testing device for the airtightness of water heating pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Water pipe tightness testing devices are mainly used to detect whether there is a leak in the pipes. The core is to judge the tightness by monitoring pressure changes or tracing the medium. The commonly used equipment is a manual pressure testing pump. The manual pressure testing pump can be manually operated to pressurize the medium such as water and inject it into the pipe system to make the pipe reach the specified test pressure. After the pipe system is pressurized to the test pressure and the valve between the pressure testing pump and the pipe is closed, the pipe is judged by observing the change of the pressure gauge reading connected to the pressure testing pump.

[0003] A pressure testing instrument for water supply branch pipes used in construction, disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215812124U, uses a piston that reciprocates within a pump body by repeatedly lifting and pressing a handle. When the piston moves upward, the pump chamber volume increases, the pressure decreases, and liquid enters the pump chamber through the inlet check valve under atmospheric pressure. When the piston moves downward, the pump chamber volume decreases, the liquid is compressed, the pressure increases, the inlet check valve closes, and the outlet check valve opens, allowing the high-pressure liquid to be forced into the pipeline system to be tested. However, according to relevant information on plumbing pipes... In terms of closure testing devices and existing technologies, traditional manual pressure testing pumps mostly use direct-pressure handles or single reciprocating motion structures with fixed piston strokes. Each press outputs only a small amount of liquid. When filling pipelines or increasing pressure from low to high, the handle needs to be pressed frequently, resulting in numerous operations, long processing times, and high workload. At the same time, traditional direct-pressure handles transmit power through multiple pins and connecting rods. There are gaps at each hinge point and the force is concentrated. Frequent reciprocating motion leads to an increase in the clearance between the pins and shaft holes, causing handle wobbling, reduced transmission efficiency, and eccentric piston movement within the pump body. This results in wear of the sealing rings, uneven wear of the plunger, and pressure leakage. Utility Model Content

[0017] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be further set forth in the description which follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in part of which will be obvious from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a water pipe sealing test device includes a water tank 1 and a pump body 2 fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 1. The outer side of the pump body 2 is provided with a water outlet structure 3 for detecting water pressure in the pipe. The water outlet structure 3 includes a water outlet pipe 301 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pump body 2. A pressure gauge 302 for reading water pressure and a drain bolt 303 for relieving pressure are fixedly installed on the water outlet pipe 301. The pump body 2 is provided with a piston 4 for pumping liquid inside the water tank 1 to the water outlet structure 3. A control component 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the piston 4. The top of the water tank 1 is provided with a guide component 6 that cooperates with the control component 5 to drive the piston 4 to reciprocate within the pump body 2. The top of the guide component 6 is provided with a drive component 7 for controlling the piston 4 to operate at high speed and slow speed.

[0019] The control assembly 5 includes a fixed seat 501 fixedly mounted on the top of the piston 4. A guide rod 502 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the fixed seat 501. A roller 503 is fitted on the end of the guide rod 502 away from the fixed seat 501.

[0020] The guide assembly 6 includes a mounting bracket 601 fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 1. The fixed base 501 is rotatably provided with a splined shaft 602 and a rotating shaft 603 corresponding to the position of the guide rod 502. The rotating shaft 603 is splinedly connected to the splined shaft 602. Two guide grooves 604 are opened on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 603. The front view shape of the two guide grooves 604 is V-shaped. The roller 503 is rolled inside the guide groove 604. A sleeve 6011 is fixedly provided on the side of the mounting bracket 601 near the pump body 2. An insert rod 5021 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the guide rod 502. The insert rod 5021 is inserted into the sleeve 6011. The cooperation between the insert rod 5021 and the sleeve 6011 can ensure that the piston 4 can perform a straight up and down reciprocating motion, ensuring accurate motion trajectory, avoiding uneven wear between the plunger and the pump body cylinder wall, and reducing seal wear.

[0021] The drive assembly 7 includes a ratchet 701 rotatably mounted on top of the mounting bracket 601. A collar 702 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the ratchet 701's top end. Multiple pawls 703 are rotatably mounted inside the collar 702. All pawls 703 are rotatably connected to the collar 702 via an elastic shaft 704. A bearing is embedded in the top of the collar 702, and the top end of the ratchet 701 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing. The ratchet 701 is splinedly connected to the splined shaft 602. The bearing prevents direct friction between the collar 702 and the pawls 703, while also facilitating the assembly of the drive assembly 7. A threaded connector 7021 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the collar 702, and a handle 7022 is threaded onto the threaded connector 7021. The ratchet 701 and pawl 703 structure enables single rotation of the shaft 603. The rapid rotation drives the piston 4 to reciprocate at high frequency, quickly filling the pipe with liquid and increasing the pressure, significantly shortening the time for the pipe to be filled with water and initially pressurized. When the pressure increases, it switches to the reciprocating rocking mode of the handle 7022. The lever principle reduces the force applied, while the slow movement of the piston 4 can precisely control the pressure increment, avoid the risk of overpressure, and ensure that the pressure is stable at the test threshold, improving the accuracy of the airtightness test. (The drive component 7 achieves unidirectional drive through ratchet 701 and pawl 703. When the handle 7022 is rocked in the opposite direction, it will not drive the rotating shaft 603 to reverse. It only transmits power when applying force in the forward direction, reducing ineffective force. The lever design of the reciprocating rocking handle 7022 can use the lever arm principle to disperse the force, which is more labor-saving than the traditional direct pressure operation, especially suitable for long-term work or operators with weak physical strength.)

[0022] The work process is as follows: S1: When it is necessary to test the airtightness of the water pipes, first connect one end of the connecting hose to the outlet pipe 301, then connect the other end of the connecting hose to the water pipe, then connect the handle 7022 and the threaded connector 7021 together, then open the drain bolt 303 to put the water inside the water pipe into the water tank 1 or add clean water to the water tank 1 in advance. S2: After the preparation is completed, the pressure test can be carried out. During the pressure test, the collar 702 is rotated by the handle 7022. At this time, multiple pawls 703 will push the ratchet 701 to rotate. Then the ratchet 701 drives the rotating shaft 603 to rotate through the spline shaft 602. S3: When the rotating shaft 603 rotates, the guide groove 604 and the roller 503 cooperate to allow the guide rod 502 to drive the fixed seat 501 to perform longitudinal reciprocating motion, thereby causing the piston 4 to perform rapid reciprocating motion in the pump body 2. At this time, the pump body 2 will inject the water inside the water tank 1 into the water heating pipe through the water outlet pipe 301 and the connecting hose. S4: During pressurization, the water pressure can be observed in real time through the pressure gauge 302. When the water pressure is about to reach the threshold, the piston 4 can be slowly reciprocated in the pump body 2 by reciprocating the handle 7022 (when the handle 7022 controls the collar 702 to rotate in the opposite direction, multiple pawls 703 will simultaneously disengage from the ratchet 701, thus making it impossible to control the ratchet 701 to rotate). After reaching the threshold, stop reciprocating the handle 7022, and then observe the change in the pressure gauge 302 to directly see the airtightness of the water heating pipe. S5: In summary, when the initial pressure in the pipeline is low, the drive component 7 can quickly control the unidirectional rotation mode of the rotating shaft 603 to drive the piston 4 to reciprocate rapidly. At this time, there is no need to frequently reverse the operation of the handle 7022, reducing ineffective actions and enabling the pipeline pressure to be increased to close to the test value in a short time. This is especially suitable for the initial pressurization stage of large-volume pipelines, significantly improving the preparation efficiency before testing. When the pipeline pressure is close to the test threshold, it is necessary to switch to the reciprocating rocking mode of the handle 7022. The rotation of the rotating shaft 603 is controlled by the intermittent transmission of the ratchet 701 and pawl 703, so that the piston 4 moves slowly, ensuring that the pressure rises steadily to the target value, reducing repeated pressure release and pressure replenishment operations, and improving the smoothness of the overall testing process.

[0023] The water tank 1, pump body 2, water outlet structure 3, piston 4, and elastic element shaft 704 described in this application are all known technologies, therefore their specific structures and working principles are not described in detail.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
