Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel tank sealing detection, and relates to a fuel tank sealing detection device for automobiles. The fuel tank sealing detection device for automobiles has the advantages of simple and convenient operation, high detection efficiency, accurate detection results and intuitive display. Background Art

[0002] As an important component to ensure the continuous operation of the car, the fuel tank continuously provides fuel to the engine to ensure the stable operation of the engine. The sealing performance of the fuel tank is directly related to the mileage of the car. If the fuel tank leaks, it will not only reduce the mileage of the car's single tank of fuel and the fuel utilization rate, but also cause environmental pollution. The more serious is the safety hazard caused by the leakage. In addition, users need to frequently refill fuel, which is not only troublesome, but also increases the cost of use. At present, the existing methods for detecting the sealing of fuel tanks are basically water inspections, but the methods for detecting leaks are different. Some use a large transparent container to put the entire fuel tank in and press it tightly, and then fill the container with water until the water level is higher than the fuel tank, and then inflate the inside of the fuel tank. At this time, the place where bubbles appear is the leak. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the operator must go around the equipment to fully view all the surfaces of a fuel tank, and if a leak is found, it cannot be marked during the detection process. It can only be taken out after the fuel tank is inspected, but the operator may not be able to find the leak at this time. Another method is to first submerge the oil tank in water, then inject colored liquid into the tank and maintain pressure for a period of time, and then observe whether there is colored liquid leakage at the weld of the oil tank. The disadvantage of this method is that if the oil tank is large, it will take a lot of time to inject and extract the colored liquid into the tank, which will have a great impact on the detection efficiency. In addition, the oil tank cannot be rotated, and you still have to run around the tank to observe all the sides.

[0003] From the above, it can be seen that it is necessary to further improve the existing technology. Summary of the invention

[0041] The sliding sleeves 41 are made of a steel cylinder with a steel ball copper bushing, and are slidably mounted in pairs on two fixing rods 36 located between the front and rear ends of a pair of clamp plates 33 .

[0042] The tightener 42 is a rope tightening device, which is welded on the sliding sleeve 41 on one side of the operating surface, so as to facilitate the operator to loosen and tighten the flexible binding belt 45.

[0046] Working principle of the present invention:

[0047] First, operate the button box to lift the transmission device 3 to the upper surface of the water tank, and the operator uses a special handling tool to put the oil tank 6 to be inspected into the clamping frame 31, then slide the binding device 4 and adjust it to a suitable position. The distance between the two binding devices 4 cannot be greater than the length of the oil tank 6; then wrap the flexible binding belt 45 on the binding device 4 around the oil tank 6 and tighten it with the tightener 42 to fix the oil tank 6; next, operate the button box 42 to control the lifting mechanism 22 to sink the clamping frame 31 into the water tank, and at the same time, inflate the inside of the oil tank 6; a slide rail is welded on the inner wall of the water tank near the four corners, and the clamping frame 31 is clamped on the slide rail 15 through the corner wheel 311, so that when the lifting mechanism 22 lifts or lowers the transmission device 3, the slide rail 15 will ensure The transmission device 3 moves up and down in the vertical direction, and the movement direction of the transmission device 3 will not be disrupted by the disturbance of water waves in the water tank; when the oil tank 6 is completely submerged in water, the internal pressure of the oil tank 6 can be judged by the pressure gauge. When the pressure gauge shows that it reaches the required value, the pressure is maintained, and it is observed whether there are bubbles at the weld on the surface of the oil tank 6; for the parts of the lower bottom surface of the oil tank 6 that are not convenient to observe, the button box 52 can be operated to rotate the clamping frame 31 to a certain angle and keep the posture for observation until all the welding parts of the oil tank 6 are checked; if there are bubbles leaking, the leaking part can be marked, and the oil tank 6 can be returned to the welding station for repair after the inspection is completed; if there is no bubble leakage, it indicates that the product is qualified, and the oil tank 6 is moved down from the table to the qualified area with special tools.

[0048] The operation process of the binding device 4 of the present invention is as follows:

[0049] First, operate the button to lift the fuel tank clamping device to the upper surface of the water tank, and the operator uses a special handling tool to put the fuel tank to be inspected into the clamping device, then slide the binding device 4 and adjust it to a suitable position. The distance between the two binding devices 4 cannot be greater than the length of the fuel tank; then the flexible binding strap 45 on the binding device 4 is wrapped around the fuel tank and tightened with the tightener 42, and the flexible binding strap 45 is tightly fitted to the surface of the fuel tank through the ratchet wrench. When the flexible binding strap 45 is stretched into place, the prefabricated iron tongue and the gear are locked to prevent the flexible binding strap 45 from loosening by itself under the action of tension. At this point, the fuel tank is fixed; fixing with this method is convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving, and the fuel tank is reliably fastened and will not loosen during the inspection process; when the fuel tank inspection is completed, the iron tongue is unlocked, and the flexible binding strap 45 automatically loosens under the action of its own tension, and the operator slides the binding device 4 open to take out the fuel tank.

[0050] In addition to ensuring accurate and efficient oil tank air tightness detection, the present invention also reduces the labor intensity of workers and greatly improves detection efficiency. Workers only need to stand on the operating table to observe all parts of the oil tank without running around. At the same time, the inside of the oil tank is filled with compressed air, and there is no need to extract the gas inside after the detection is completed, which saves detection time and a lot of mechanisms, making the equipment simpler and more compact, reducing the failure rate and easy to maintain.
