Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of thermostat detection, in particular to a wax bag comprehensive performance detection platform. Background Art

[0002] The thermostat is an important component of the engine cooling equipment. It controls whether the cooling system is a large cycle or a small cycle. The large cycle is mainly used when the engine is working at high speed, and the small cycle is mainly used when the engine movement frequency is low.

[0003] There is a wax-wrapped thermostat in the thermostat, which can also be understood as a wax-type thermostat. The wax easily solidifies at high temperatures, thereby increasing its volume and causing the thermostat to operate.

[0004] However, wax thermostats generally need to be tested. The purpose of the test is mainly to check whether the thermostat can operate normally and whether it reaches the specified position after operation. It can also be understood as whether the distance of the operation is qualified.

[0005] However, the best way to detect a wax thermostat is to use repeated alternations of hot and cold water. However, the biggest problem with current detection is that due to the excessive number of alternations required, the speed of using a traditional robot to grab the thermostat and alternate between hot and cold water is too slow, and it can only detect a single thermostat, so the detection efficiency is also very low.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a wax package comprehensive performance testing platform to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wax package comprehensive performance testing platform to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology. The technical solution of the present invention aims at the technical problem that the existing technical solution is too single, and provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technology.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] A wax package comprehensive performance testing platform comprises a water pool, a temperature insulation board is installed in the middle of the water pool, a slide rail is installed inside the water pool, an optical screening detector is connected to the inner wall of the water pool, a driving device and a detection element are also installed on the slide rail, and the optical screening detector is located above the slide rail.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the driving device comprises a first shell, a driving motor is installed inside the first shell, a gear is connected to an output end of the driving motor, and a rack is installed on the surface of the slide rail through a groove.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the detection element includes a second shell, limiting frames are installed on both sides of the second shell, water holes are opened on the surface of the second shell, a limiting clamp is installed inside the second shell, a door body is provided on the surface of the limiting clamp, and a thermostat is placed inside the second shell.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the optical screening detector includes a laser detector and a camera, and the optical screening detector is located directly above the detection element.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the limiting frame is a square structure, the slide rail is clamped on the upper and lower sides of the limiting frame, and the limiting clamp clamps the thermostat.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the slide rail has a left-right symmetrical structure with the insulation board as the symmetry axis.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The present invention repeatedly switches multiple thermostats between cold water and hot water, so as to quickly detect whether the wax package inside the thermostat will leak or be damaged within a specified number of times in a relatively short time, and the entire switching process adopts the form of a slide rail, and the driving device will push multiple detection elements equipped with thermostats to repeatedly switch between cold water and hot water;

[0017] First of all, the whole movement process is simple. It only needs to circulate continuously on the track, and there is no need to use a mechanical arm to repeatedly take out and put in hot and cold water.

[0018] A large number of thermostats can be tested at one time, greatly improving the detection efficiency, and laser detection is used to assist in quickly screening out unqualified thermostats;

[0019] The time the thermostat stays in the cold and hot water is completely controllable. You only need to control the running speed of the driving device, which is equivalent to controlling the speed at which the detection element is pushed. Controlling the speed of the driving device can control the time it stays in the cold and hot water. The control is very convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and the like are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined as "first", "second", and the like may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" 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 it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-6 In an embodiment of the present invention, a wax bag comprehensive performance testing platform includes a water pool 1, a temperature insulation board 2 is installed in the middle of the water pool 1, a slide rail 4 is installed inside the water pool 1, an optical screening detector 3 is connected to the inner wall of the water pool 1, a driving device 5 and a detection element 6 are also installed on the slide rail 4, the optical screening detector 3 is located above the slide rail 4, the driving device 5 includes a first shell 501, a driving motor 502 is installed inside the first shell 501, a gear 503 is connected to the output end of the driving motor 502, a rack 504 is installed on the surface of the slide rail 4 through a groove, the driving device 5 drives the gear 503 to rotate through the driving motor 502, the gear 503 and the rack 504 cooperate with each other, because the rack 504 and the slide rail 4 are fixed to each other, the rotation of the gear 503 will move laterally on the upper surface of the rack 504, thereby driving the entire driving device 5 to move forward, and finally pushing all the detection elements 6 to slide on the slide rail 4 together.

[0031] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1-6 , which is different from Example 1, is that: the detection element 6 includes a second shell 601, and limiting frames 602 are installed on both sides of the second shell 601. A water hole 603 is opened on the surface of the second shell 601. A limiting clamp 604 is installed inside the second shell 601. A door body 605 is arranged on the surface of the limiting clamp 604. A thermostat is placed inside the second shell 601. The door body 605 arranged on the upper surface of the detection element 6 can quickly open the inside of the second shell 601 to facilitate the removal of the thermostat. The water hole 603 is convenient for external water to enter and flow out, avoiding the mutual transfer of water in the two spaces to affect the water temperature. The limiting clamp 604 mainly fixes one end of the thermostat to ensure that the thermostat remains in a relatively fixed state, which is convenient for observing the specific situation of the thermostat action.

[0032] The optical screening detector 3 includes a laser detector and a camera. The optical screening detector 3 is located directly above the detection element 6. The laser detector and camera on the optical screening detector 3 irradiate the thermostat by means of laser. The laser irradiation path is set at a position where the bottom of the thermostat will reach. When the detection element 6 passes by, if the position is blocked by parts of the thermostat, it means that the action is successful and the action has reached the correct position. If the laser irradiation passes through and reaches the receiving end on the other side, it means that the action has not been successfully reached to the specified position. At this time, the camera is quickly turned on to take pictures. The upper surface of the detection element 6 is also numbered. The number of the photo is uploaded to the cloud, which also facilitates users to quickly screen out unqualified products.

[0033] The limiting frame 602 is a square structure, the slide rail 4 is clamped on the upper and lower sides of the limiting frame 602, and the limiting clamp 604 clamps the thermostat. The limiting frame 602 adopts a square structure to prevent the detection element 6 from rotating, so that the front side is always kept facing upward. At the same time, the limiting clamp 604 can fix the non-acting end of the thermostat to maintain the accuracy of the detection;

[0034] The limiting frame 602 does not penetrate into the rack 504, but is only outside the slide rail 4, and prevents the detection element 6 from being separated from the guide rail by limiting the position.

[0035] The slide rail 4 has a bilaterally symmetrical structure with the insulation board 2 as the symmetry axis. The slide rail 4 uses four locks to lock the four angles of the detection element 6 to avoid the problem of detachment from the track. The slide rail 4 exists in both the hot water area and the cold water area of ​​the pool 1, so that the detection element 6 can.

[0036] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0037] The driving device 5 and a plurality of almost fitting detection elements 6 are placed on the slide rail 4, and the driving device 5 actively pushes the plurality of detection elements 6 to slide on the slide rail 4. During the sliding process, each detection element 6 will pass through the optical screening detector 3, and the laser detection will emit a laser. In addition, the irradiation range of the front and back of the second housing 601 is made of transparent material. If the internal thermostat completes the action process when passing through hot water or cold water, the laser will be blocked. The staff can set it to determine that the action is completed when the laser is blocked, and the camera will not start the photo function.

[0038] If the laser successfully passes through the transparent area of ​​the second shell 601 and reaches the receiving area on the other side, it means that no action has been completed at that position. Failure to complete the action indicates that the thermostat inside the second shell 601 is an unqualified product. Therefore, the camera immediately takes a photo of that position and uploads it to the cloud for manual removal.

[0039] There is cold water and hot water on both sides of the insulation board 2, and each has a temperature sensor and a temperature system to control its temperature. The bulging part in the middle of the slide rail 4 is out of the water surface. The optical screening detector 3 is in the position where the detection element 6 is about to leave the water surface. The optical screening detector 3 is completely immersed in water to prevent the light from entering the water from the air and being easily refracted.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0041] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
