The invention provides a welding seam detection device based on low-pressure leak hunting. The welding seam detection device comprises a detection support, a water storage tank and a water detection tank, a connection water pipe is connected between the water storage tank and the water detection tank, and a supporting base support and a workpiece supporting base are arranged in the water detectiontank in sequence; a liquid level sensor is further arranged in the water detection tank, the water storage tank and the workpiece supporting base are both connected with an air compressor through airpipes, and a first electromagnetic valve and a second electromagnetic valve are arranged among the water storage tank, the water detection tank and the air compressor respectively; two vertical guiderails are arranged above the detection support, a hydraulic cylinder is arranged at the tops of the two vertical guide rails, and a vertical extruding column is connected with the hydraulic cylinderthrough a connector. By using the low-pressure leak hunting principle, the welding seam detection device can conveniently and constantly detect welding seams of workpieces, is simple in structure andconvenient to operate, can rapidly and conveniently detect welding seam defects, is suitable for being operated by all types of workers, and is high in detection efficiency, high in practicability andworthy of popularization and application.
