Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of corrugated pipe testing technology, specifically relating to a pressure testing fixture for low-pressure corrugated pipes. Background Technology
[0002] In the nuclear power industry, low-pressure bellows are required. During maintenance within a nuclear power plant, low-pressure bellows need to be regularly inspected and replaced. Performance testing of the low-pressure bellows is necessary during maintenance or when replacing a new one. The testing process generally involves sealing both ends of the bellows, injecting compressed gas at a certain pressure into the bellows, observing the pressure changes inside the bellows using a pressure gauge, or applying soapy water (used for leak detection) to the surface of the bellows to check for leaks. Currently, bellows pressure testing typically uses manual sealing tape or general-purpose clamps, which suffers from poor sealing, cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and difficulty in adapting to different bellows specifications, leading to inaccurate test results.

[0013] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a low-pressure corrugated pipe pressure testing fixture is provided. The low-pressure corrugated pipe includes a flange 1, a corrugated section 2, and a connector 3 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The pressure testing fixture includes a base 4, a support plate 5, a lower clamping plate 6, an upper clamping plate 7, several lower fixing screws 8, and several upper fixing screws 9. The support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the base 4 by a support column 10. Several lower through holes 11 are provided around the support plate 5. The low-pressure corrugated pipe is placed vertically in the middle of the support plate 5. The lower clamping plate 6 is placed on the support plate 5. The lower clamping plate 6 has a central opening 12 in the middle for the corrugated section 2 and the internal thread connector 3 to pass through. The flange 1 is clamped between the support plate 5 and the lower clamping plate 6. Several central through holes 13 are provided around the lower clamping plate 6. The central through holes 13 and the lower through holes 11 are connected. In a one-to-one correspondence, the lower end of the lower fixing screw 8 passes through the central through hole 13 and the lower through hole 11 in sequence. The upper clamping nut 14 and the lower clamping nut 15 are threaded onto the lower fixing screw 8. The support plate 5 and the lower clamping plate 6 are located between the upper clamping nut 14 and the lower clamping nut 15. The upper clamping plate 7 has several upper through holes. The upper end of the upper fixing screw 9 passes through the upper through holes and is threaded onto the top clamping nut 17. The lower end of the upper fixing screw 9 passes through the central through hole 13 and the lower through hole 11 in sequence and is threaded onto the bottom clamping nut. The connector 3 is located directly below the center of the upper clamping plate 7. An air inlet pipe 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the support column 10. The middle of the support plate 5 has an air port 20 that connects to the air inlet pipe 19. A valve is provided on the air inlet pipe 19. The support plate 5 and the lower clamping plate 6 use the upper clamping nuts 14 and the lower clamping nuts 15 on the lower fixing screw 8 to clamp the flange 1, fixing and sealing the lower end of the low-pressure bellows. By using the top clamping nut 17 and bottom clamping nut on the upper fixing screw 9, and pressing down the connector 3 with the upper clamping plate 7, the upper end of the low-pressure bellows is fixed and sealed. Then, compressed air of a certain pressure is injected into the low-pressure bellows through the air inlet pipe 19, and the valve is closed. The air pressure in the low-pressure bellows is periodically checked through the air inlet pipe 19. Simultaneously, methods such as spraying soapy water onto the surface of the bellows section 2 can be used to directly observe whether the low-pressure bellows is leaking.
[0014] Furthermore, the connector 3 is threadedly connected to a sealing bolt 21, and an upper sealing ring 22 is provided between the sealing bolt 21 and the connector 3. The sealing bolt 21 utilizes the existing internal threads inside the connector 3 for threaded connection. The upper sealing ring 22 ensures the sealing of the connection between the connector 3 and the sealing bolt 21.
[0015] Furthermore, a lower sealing ring 23 is provided between the flange 1 and the pallet 5. The lower sealing ring 23 ensures the sealing of the connection between the flange 1 and the pallet 5.
[0016] Furthermore, the support plate 5 is provided with several side openings 24 around its perimeter, each side opening 24 corresponding to a lower through hole 11, and the side opening 24 is connected to the corresponding lower through hole 11. The side openings 24 facilitate the direct lateral installation of the lower fixing screw 8 and the upper fixing screw 9.
[0017] Furthermore, a hexagonal head 25 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lower fixing screw 8. The hexagonal head 25 facilitates the rotation of the entire lower fixing screw 8 using tools.
