The invention discloses a helium detector for an automobile storage battery box. The detector comprises a table frame, a working part is arranged on the table frame, the working part comprises a mounting plate, the mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the table frame, and a front-back transplanting device, a vacuum box and a leakage detection device are arranged at the top of the mounting plate. The front-back transplanting device is used for installing and moving a storage battery box, the vacuum box is used for fixing and blocking the storage battery box, and the leakage detection device isused for detecting whether the storage battery box leaks air or not. Through arrangement of the front-back transplanting devices, the vacuum box and the leakage detection device, movement, sealing, vacuumizing, helium filling, helium leakage detection and the like of the storage battery box can be realized, so that the airtightness detection of the battery box is realized; meanwhile, helium is used as detection gas, so that the detection is more sensitive and accurate.
