Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air tightness detection, and in particular to an air tightness detection device. Background Art

[0002] At present, most parts of electronic products need to be tested for air tightness before leaving the factory. Most of them use gases such as carbon dioxide as the detection medium. The parts are placed in the detection assembly, and a first sealed cavity and a second sealed cavity are formed on both sides of the parts. Carbon dioxide is introduced into the second sealed cavity. The first sealed cavity can be vacuum or contain air or other gases as a protective medium. A carbon dioxide sensor is placed inside the first sealed cavity to detect whether the concentration of carbon dioxide exceeds the threshold, so as to determine whether the air tightness of the parts is qualified.

[0003] However, due to the large relative molecular mass of carbon dioxide, when the amount of carbon dioxide leakage is small, the leaked carbon dioxide will first sink to the bottom and then slowly rise. The carbon dioxide sensor is generally arranged at the upper part of the first sealed cavity. Therefore, it takes a long time to wait before the carbon dioxide sensor can detect the change in carbon dioxide concentration. The detection takes a long time and the detection sensitivity is poor.

[0004] Based on this, there is an urgent need for an airtightness detection device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

[0051] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0053] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0054] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0055] This embodiment provides an airtightness detection device for detecting Figure 1-Figure 3 The air tightness of the product 10 to be tested is shown. The product 10 to be tested is a glass screen, which is used in electronic products. An L-shaped hole 101 is provided on the product 10 to be tested, one end of the L-shaped hole 101 passes through the side wall of the product 10 to be tested, and the other end passes through the end face of the product 10 to be tested. An earpiece assembly is arranged in the L-shaped hole 101. The air tightness testing device provided in this embodiment is specifically used to detect whether there is air leakage at the earpiece assembly on the product 10 to be tested.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the air tightness detection device includes a detection component 1, a ventilation component, an air pump 2 and a gas detection component 3. A sealed cavity for detecting the product to be detected 10 is formed inside the detection component 1. When the product to be detected 10 is placed in the sealed cavity, the product to be detected 10 can separate the sealed cavity into a first sealed cavity 20 and a second sealed cavity 30 that are independent of each other, so that the sealed cavities on both sides of the product to be detected 10 are respectively formed as a first sealed cavity 20 and a second sealed cavity 30. The ventilation component is used to pass the protective gas into the first sealed cavity 20 and the detection gas into the second sealed cavity 30; the suction end and the gas outlet end of the air pump 2 are both connected to the first sealed cavity 20; the gas detection component 3 is used to detect the concentration of the detection gas in the first sealed cavity 20.

[0057] The present invention provides an air tightness detection device, which includes a detection component 1, a ventilation component, an air pump 2 and a gas detection component 3. When detecting a product 10 to be detected, the product 10 to be detected is placed in a sealed cavity, and the product 10 to be detected can separate the sealed cavity, so that the sealed cavities on both sides of the product 10 to be detected are respectively formed into a first sealed cavity 20 and a second sealed cavity 30. The ventilation component passes a protective gas into the first sealed cavity 20 and a detection gas into the second sealed cavity 30. If the detection gas leaks into the first sealed cavity 20, the vacuum pump 2 can mix the gas in the first sealed cavity 20 evenly, avoiding the detection gas from gathering in the upper or lower part of the first sealed cavity 20 due to its own relative molecular mass, achieving uniform distribution of the detection gas in the first sealed cavity 20, accelerating the speed of uniform distribution of the detection gas in the first sealed cavity 20, facilitating the gas detection component 3 to detect the concentration of the detection gas inside the first sealed cavity 20, improving the detection efficiency, reducing the time cost, and also improving the accuracy of the concentration of the detection gas detected by the gas detection component 3, thereby improving the accuracy of the airtightness detection, ensuring the qualified rate of the product, and at the same time reducing the requirements for the installation position of the detection end of the gas detection component 3, which is conducive to simplifying the installation structure of the gas detection component 3. In addition, the protective gas and the detection gas are introduced into the first sealed cavity 20 and the second sealed cavity 30 respectively at the same time, which also reduces the pressure difference on both sides of the product 10 to be detected, avoiding damage to the product 10 to be detected due to excessive pressure difference, and ensuring the qualified rate of the product 10 to be detected.

[0058] In this embodiment, the detection gas is carbon dioxide (density 1.997g / L) and the protective gas is nitrogen (density 1.25g / L). In the same chamber, the detection gas and the protective gas are in an environment of isotemperature and isopressure, and the gas density is proportional to the relative molecular mass. The gas with a larger relative molecular mass has a larger density. The gas detection element 3 is a carbon dioxide sensor. In other embodiments, the detection gas and the protective gas may be other types of single-component gases or mixed gases. The concentration of the gas that the gas detection element 3 can detect varies according to the type of the detection gas, and is not limited here.

[0059] Specifically, Figure 5As shown, the ventilation assembly includes a protective gas source 61 and a detection gas source 65. The protective gas source 61 is used to supply protective gas and is connected to the first sealed cavity 20 through the protective gas pipeline. A first valve body 62 and a first proportional valve 63 are provided on the protective gas pipeline. The first valve body 62 can control the on-off of the protective gas pipeline, and the first proportional valve 63 can control the flow of nitrogen inside the protective gas pipeline. The first valve body 62 can be a solenoid valve or a hand valve, the first proportional valve 63 can be an electrical proportional valve, and the protective gas source 61 can be a nitrogen cylinder. The detection gas source 65 is used to supply detection gas and is connected to the second sealed cavity 30 through the detection gas pipeline. A second valve body 66 and a second proportional valve 67 are provided on the detection gas pipeline. The second valve body 66 can control the on-off of the detection gas pipeline, and the second proportional valve 67 can control the flow of carbon dioxide inside the detection gas pipeline. The second valve body 66 can be a solenoid valve or a hand valve, the second proportional valve 67 can be an electrical proportional valve, and the detection gas source 65 can be a carbon dioxide cylinder.

[0060] In this embodiment, 0.6 bar of carbon dioxide is introduced into the second sealed cavity 30, and 0.1 bar of nitrogen is introduced into the first sealed cavity 20. The pressure value of carbon dioxide (0.6 bar) is determined according to the pressure resistance requirement of the product 10 to be detected. In other embodiments, it can be adaptively selected, and the pressure value of nitrogen (0.1 bar) changes accordingly. It can be understood that the pressure value of nitrogen should be less than the pressure value of carbon dioxide, so that the air pressure inside the second sealed cavity 30 is greater than the air pressure of the first sealed cavity 20, preventing the protective gas (nitrogen) from entering the second sealed cavity 30 due to the pressure difference. When the carbon dioxide sensor detects that the concentration of carbon dioxide exceeds 800ppm, it is determined that the product is leaking.

[0061] Specifically, Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the detection assembly 1 includes a cover plate 11 and a carrier 12. The cover plate 11 is placed above the carrier 12 and can be buckled with the carrier 12 to form a sealed cavity. The carrier 12 is used to carry the product to be detected 10. The detection assembly 1 is set as a split structure, which is convenient for placing and removing the product to be detected 10, improving the convenience and practicality of operation.

[0062] As a preferred solution, Figure 6-Figure 12 As shown, a first groove is formed on the bottom surface of the cover plate 11, and an abutment ring 13 is protruding from the groove top wall of the first groove. The abutment ring 13 is arranged along the circumference of the first groove. When the product 10 to be detected is placed in the sealed cavity, the abutment ring 13 abuts against the product 10 to be detected, so that a first sealed cavity 20 is formed between the groove top wall of the first groove, the inner side wall of the abutment ring 13 and the product 10 to be detected. In this embodiment, the first sealed cavity 20 is formed directly by abutting the product 10 to be detected by the abutment ring 13, which is conducive to simplifying the structure.

[0063] In this embodiment, the abutting ring 13 and the upper cover 11 are separated, and a vertical mounting hole 135 is provided on the abutting ring 13. One end of the fastener passes through the mounting hole 135 and is screwed into the upper cover 11 to achieve a fixed connection between the abutting ring 13 and the upper cover 11. The fastener is a vent screw.

[0064] Specifically, the upper cover 11 is rectangular. Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, a first air passage 111 is provided in the upper cover 11, one end of the first air passage 111 passes through one of the side walls of the upper cover 11, and the other end extends toward one of the vent screws and is connected with the through hole on the vent screw, so that the vent assembly can pass nitrogen into the first sealed cavity 20 through the first air passage 111 and the vent screw. A first vent interface 64 is provided at the end of the first air passage 111 facing the outside of the upper cover 11, which is convenient for connection with the protective gas pipeline.

[0065] In this embodiment, the abutment ring 13 includes a first ring portion 131 and a second ring portion 132. The first ring portion 131 is located between the second ring portion 132 and the groove top wall of the first groove. When the product 10 to be detected is located in the sealed cavity, the second ring portion 132 abuts against the product 10 to be detected. The first ring portion 131 and the second ring portion 132 are detachably connected by a vent screw. When the first ring portion 131 and the second ring portion 132 are deformed, the replacement and disassembly of the first ring portion 131 and the second ring portion 132 are facilitated, and the deformation of the first ring portion 131 or the second ring portion 132 affects the sealing of the first sealed cavity 10, thereby ensuring the functionality of the airtightness detection device and the accuracy of the airtightness detection. A first sealing ring 133 is provided between the first ring portion 131 and the groove top wall of the first groove, and a second sealing ring 134 is provided between the first ring portion 131 and the second ring portion 132, thereby further ensuring the sealing of the first sealed cavity 20.

[0066] Furthermore, if Figure 8-Figure 12 As shown, the outer side wall of the abutment ring 13 is spaced from the groove wall of the first groove, and when the product 10 to be detected is placed in the sealed cavity, the second sealed cavity 30 is formed between the groove side wall of the first groove, the groove top surface of the first groove located between the groove side wall and the abutment ring 12, the outer side wall of the abutment ring 13, the side wall of the product 10 to be detected, and the carrier 12. This structural setting allows the side wall of the product 10 to be detected to be exposed to the second sealed cavity 30, and the two ends of the L-shaped hole 101 are respectively exposed to the first sealed cavity 20 and the second sealed cavity 30, thereby detecting whether the earpiece assembly on the product 10 to be detected is leaking.

[0067] Specifically, the upper cover 11 is provided with a second air passage 112, one end of which passes through one of the side walls of the upper cover 11, and the other end of which passes through the groove side wall of the first groove, so that the ventilation component can pass carbon dioxide into the second sealed cavity 30 through the second air passage 112. A second ventilation interface 68 is provided at the end of the second air passage 112 facing the outside of the upper cover 11, which is convenient for connection with the detection gas pipeline.

[0068] Preferably, the detection component 1 also includes an abutment sealing ring 14, which is arranged between the abutment ring 13 and the product to be detected 10. The abutment sealing ring 14 is provided to further ensure the sealing between the first sealed cavity 20 and the second sealed cavity 30, avoid the internal gas of the first sealed cavity 20 and the second sealed cavity 30 from flowing through the gap between the abutment ring 13 and the product to be detected 10, and ensure the accuracy of the airtightness test result. In this embodiment, the abutment sealing ring 14 is fixed to the abutment ring 13 by a first fixing member 191. The first fixing member 191 is annular and is located at the bottom of the abutment sealing ring 14. The first fixing member 191 is set to a metal material, and fasteners such as screws pass through the first fixing member 191 and the abutment sealing ring 14 and are connected to the abutment ring 13. It can be understood that in order to ensure the sealing effect of the abutting sealing ring 14, the first fixing member 191 is arranged on the outer side of the bottom surface of the abutting sealing ring 14, so that the inner side of the bottom surface of the abutting sealing ring 14 forms an annular exposed surface, and the annular exposed surface contacts the product 10 to be inspected along the circumferential direction.

[0069] As a preferred solution, Figure 5 , 6As shown in Figure 8, the air tightness detection device also includes an exhaust component, which is used to evacuate the first sealed cavity 20 and the second sealed cavity 30. Before performing the air tightness detection, the exhaust component can be used to evacuate the first sealed cavity 20 and the second sealed cavity 30, thereby avoiding other impurity gases in the first sealed cavity 20 and the second sealed cavity 30, reducing the probability of the earpiece component in the L-shaped hole 101 reacting with the impurity gas or being corroded by the impurity gas, and avoiding leakage of the earpiece component due to corrosion or reaction with the impurity gas, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the air tightness detection, and also reducing the probability of damage to the earpiece component, thereby ensuring the qualified rate of the product. In this embodiment, the first sealed cavity 20 and the second sealed cavity 30 need to form a vacuum environment of -0.2 bar through the exhaust component. The exhaust assembly includes an exhaust manifold 93 and a vacuum pump 71 located on the exhaust manifold 93. One end of the exhaust manifold 93 is connected to the first exhaust pipe 94. The other end of the exhaust manifold 93 is connected to the first exhaust pipeline 91 and the second exhaust pipeline 92 through a three-way joint. The other end of the first exhaust pipeline 91 and the other end of the second exhaust pipeline 92 are respectively connected to the first sealed cavity 20 and the second sealed cavity 30. The first exhaust pipeline 91 is provided with a first on-off valve 81, and the second exhaust pipeline 92 is provided with a second on-off valve 82.

[0070] Specifically, a third air channel is provided inside the upper cover 11, one end of the third air channel passes through one of the side walls of the upper cover 11, and the other end extends toward one of the vent screws and is connected with the through hole on the vent screw, so that the exhaust component can extract the gas in the first sealed cavity 20 through the third air channel and the vent screw to form a vacuum environment. A first exhaust interface 72 is provided at the end of the third air channel facing the outside of the upper cover 11, which is convenient for connecting with the first exhaust pipeline 91. Among them, the third air channel and the first air channel 111 are respectively connected to two different vent screws.

[0071] Specifically, the upper cover 11 is provided with a fourth air passage, one end of which passes through one of the side walls of the upper cover 11, and the other end of which passes through the groove side wall of the first groove, so that the exhaust component can extract the gas in the second sealed cavity 30 through the fourth air passage. A second exhaust interface 73 is provided at the end of the fourth air passage facing the outside of the upper cover 11, which is convenient for connection with the second exhaust pipeline 92.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first air duct 111, the second air duct 112, the third air duct and the fourth air duct pass through the same side wall of the upper cover 11, that is, the first ventilation interface 64, the second ventilation interface 68, the first exhaust interface 72 and the second exhaust interface 73 are all located on the same outer side wall of the upper cover 11.
