The invention discloses a manhole cover positive and negative pressure performance
test bench and a manhole cover positive and negative pressure performance test method. The
test bench comprises a frame, the center of the frame is provided with a
test chamber, and the upper part of the
test chamber is provided with a manhole cover. A semi-circular symmetric pressing plate is arranged above the manhole cover. Two cylinders are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the frame, and the
piston rods of the cylinders are connected with the semi-circular symmetric pressing plate. The lower part of the
test chamber is provided with an air inlet, an air intake port and a
pressure sensor. The air inlet is connected with an air source through a two-position two-way electromagnetic
directional valve I. The air intake port is connected with a
vacuum pump through a two-position two-way electromagnetic
directional valve II. Rodless cavities and rod-containing cavities of the cylinders are connected with the air source through a three-position four-way electromagnetic
directional valve. The test method comprises four steps: manhole cover mounting and compressing, test chamber air inflation detecting, test chamber air intake detecting, and manhole cover unloading and disassembling. The
test bench and the test method make up for the shortcomings of the existing manhole cover detection device and test method. Integration of the automatic compressing, testing and unloading and disassembling steps in the process of manhole cover positive and negative pressure performance test is realized.
