Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the present invention, not all of it. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a cooler liquid side airtightness detection device, comprising a first end sealing mechanism 1, a second end sealing mechanism 2, a first positioning and clamping mechanism 3 and a second positioning and clamping mechanism 4;
[0038] Among them, the first end sealing mechanism 1 is used to seal the opening of one end of the cooler tube, and the second end sealing mechanism 2 is used to seal the opening of the other end of the cooler tube; the first end sealing mechanism 1 and the second end sealing mechanism 2 are both provided with a main cylinder body 5, a sliding block 6 is provided inside the main cylinder body 5, and a guide cover 7 is provided at the end of the main cylinder body 5. A sealing gasket 8 is provided inside the guide cover 7, and one end of the sliding block 6 extends into the guide cover 7 and presses the sealing gasket 8; the sliding block 6 of the first end sealing mechanism 1 or the second end sealing mechanism 2 is provided with an airtight detection interface 9, and the airtight detection interface 9 is connected to the docked cooler tube through the sealing gasket 8;
[0039] The first positioning and clamping mechanism 3 is used to position and clamp the first designated position of the cooler tube, and the second positioning and clamping mechanism 4 is used to position and clamp the second designated position of the cooler tube.
[0040] In this embodiment, it also includes a base plate 10 and a fixed plate 11; the four corners of the fixed plate 11 are fixed above the base plate 10, an avoidance gap 12 is formed between the base plate 10 and the fixed plate 11, and an avoidance notch 13 is formed on the side of the fixed plate 11; the first end sealing mechanism 1 is fixed to a corner of the upper end of the base plate 10 through a first stroke adjustment mechanism 14, and the second end sealing mechanism 2 is fixed to the diagonal area between the upper end of the base plate 10 and the first end sealing mechanism 1 through a second stroke adjustment mechanism 15; the first positioning and clamping mechanism 3 is fixed to one side of the upper end of the fixed plate 11, and the second positioning and clamping mechanism 4 is fixed to the other side of the upper end of the fixed plate 11.
[0041] Specifically, the base plate 10 serves to mount the first and second end sealing mechanisms 1 and 2, while the fixed plate 11 serves to mount the first positioning and clamping mechanisms 3 and the second positioning and clamping mechanisms 4. The clearance gap 12 and the clearance notch 13 serve as a clearance for the first stroke adjustment mechanism 14, enabling the first stroke adjustment mechanism 14 to control the movement of the first end sealing mechanism 1 and thereby seal the opening at one end of the cooler tube. Furthermore, the first and second end sealing mechanisms 1 and 2 are arranged diagonally, while the first and second positioning and clamping mechanisms 3 and 4 are located on either side of the fixed plate 11 to secure the cooler tube.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first stroke adjustment mechanism 14 includes a first stroke adjustment cylinder 16, a vertical plate 17 and a first transfer rod 18; the first stroke adjustment cylinder 16 is located in the avoidance gap 12, the driving part of the first stroke adjustment cylinder 16 is connected to the lower part of the vertical plate 17, the upper part of the vertical plate 17 passes through the avoidance gap 13, and the upper part of the vertical plate 17 is connected to the main cylinder body 5 of the first end sealing mechanism 1 through the first transfer rod 18.
[0043] Specifically, the vertical plate 17 serves as a connection between the first stroke adjustment cylinder 16 and the first transfer rod 18, wherein the first stroke adjustment cylinder 16 is distributed in the avoidance gap 12 and can drive the vertical plate 17, and the vertical plate 17 can drive the main cylinder body 5 of the first end sealing mechanism 1 through the first transfer rod 18, thereby enabling the main cylinder body 5 of the first end sealing mechanism 1 to seal the end of the cooler pipe.
[0044] In this embodiment, the sliding block 6 of the first-end sealing mechanism 1 is provided with an airtightness detection interface 9, and the vertical plate 17 is provided with a vent hole 19 at a position corresponding to the airtightness detection interface 9 of the first-end sealing mechanism 1. The vent pipe of the airtightness detector is connected to the airtightness detection interface 9 through the vent hole 19. Because both ends of the cooler pipe are sealed by the first-end sealing mechanism 1 and the second-end sealing mechanism 2, the data displayed on the airtightness detector can be used to determine whether the EGR cooler cooler pipe is leaking.
[0045] In this embodiment, the second stroke adjustment mechanism 15 includes a second stroke adjustment cylinder 20, a mounting seat 21, a column 22, an adapter seat 23 and a second adapter rod 24; the second stroke adjustment cylinder 20 is connected to the mounting seat 21, the mounting seat 21 is connected to the upper end of the column 22, and the lower end of the column 22 is connected to the base plate 10; the driving rod of the second stroke adjustment cylinder 20 passes through the mounting seat 21 and is connected to the adapter seat 23, and the adapter seat 23 is connected to the main cylinder body 5 of the second end sealing mechanism 2 through the second adapter rod 24.
[0046] Specifically, the mounting seat 21 serves to connect the second stroke adjusting cylinder 20 and the column 22, wherein the mounting seat 21 is connected to the base plate 10 through the column 22 to lift the second stroke adjusting cylinder 20, and the driving rod of the second stroke adjusting cylinder 20 drives the second transfer rod 24 through the transfer seat 23, and the second transfer rod 24 can drive the main cylinder body 5 of the second end sealing mechanism 2, thereby enabling the main cylinder body 5 of the second end sealing mechanism 2 to seal the other end of the cooler pipe.
[0047] In this embodiment, the area of the fixed plate 11 is smaller than that of the base plate 10, and the four side edges of the base plate 10 extend beyond the four side edges of the fixed plate 11. The second end sealing mechanism 2 is positioned higher than the first end sealing mechanism 1. This is to ensure that the first end sealing mechanism 1, the second end sealing mechanism 2, the first positioning and clamping mechanism 3, and the second positioning and clamping mechanism 4 can match the shape of the cooler tube. Under the positioning and clamping of the first and second positioning and clamping mechanisms 3 and 4, the first end sealing mechanism 1 and the second end sealing mechanism 2 respectively connect the two ends of the cooler tube.
[0048] In this embodiment, a first sealing groove and a second sealing groove are provided on the edge of the sliding block 6. The interior of the first sealing groove is filled with a first sealing ring 25, and the first sealing ring 25 contacts the inner wall of the main cylinder body 5; the interior of the second sealing groove is filled with a second sealing ring 26, and the second sealing ring 26 contacts the inner wall of the main cylinder body 5; the main cylinder body 5 is provided with a driving gas inlet 27, and the driving gas inlet 27 is located between the first sealing ring 25 and the second sealing ring 26; the compressed gas entering the driving gas inlet 27 pushes the sliding block 6 to deform the sealing gasket 8, and the deformed sealing gasket 8 tightly hugs the end opening of the cooler tube.
[0049] Specifically, due to the location of the first and second sealing grooves and the driving gas inlet 27, the compressed gas entering through the driving gas inlet 27 can only act on the surface of the sliding block 6, thereby pushing the sliding block 6 to deform the sealing gasket 8, which then tightly embraces the end opening of the cooler tube. The airflow entering the cooler tube through the airtightness detection interface 9 can achieve the airtightness detection effect.
[0050] In this embodiment, the first positioning and clamping mechanism 3 includes a first clamping cylinder 28, a first fixed pressure plate 29, a first product support block 30 and a first product positioning pin 31; the bottom of the first clamping cylinder 28 is connected to the fixed plate 11, and the top of the driving rod of the first clamping cylinder 28 and one end of the first fixed pressure plate 29 are hinged by a pin; the bottom of the first product support block 30 is connected to the fixed plate 11, and the first product positioning pin 31 is arranged at the top of the first product support block 30; a first protrusion 32 is formed on the side of the first product support block 30 close to the first clamping cylinder 28, and the middle position of the first fixed pressure plate 29 is hinged by a pin through a first ear plate 33 and the first protrusion 32. The second positioning and clamping mechanism 4 includes a second clamping cylinder 34, a second fixed pressure plate 35, a second product support block 36 and a second product positioning pin 37; the bottom of the second clamping cylinder 34 is connected to the fixed plate 11, and the top of the driving rod of the second clamping cylinder 34 and one end of the second fixed pressure plate 35 are hinged by a pin; the bottom of the second product support block 36 is connected to the fixed plate 11, and the second product positioning pin 37 is arranged at the top of the second product support block 36; a second protrusion 38 is formed on the side of the second product support block 36 close to the second clamping cylinder 34, and the middle position of the second fixed pressure plate 35 is hinged by a pin through a second ear plate 39 and the second protrusion 38.
[0051] Specifically, because the top of the driving rod of the first clamping cylinder 28 is hinged to the first fixed plate 29, and the middle position of the first fixed plate 29 is hinged via a first lug 33 and a first protrusion 32, when the first clamping cylinder 28 drives one end of the first fixed plate 29 upward, the other end of the first fixed plate 29 moves downward, thereby compressing the specified position of the cooler tube fixed to the first product positioning pin 31. Similarly, because the top of the driving rod of the second clamping cylinder 34 is hinged to the second fixed plate 35, and the middle position of the second fixed plate 35 is hinged via a second lug 39 and a second protrusion 38, when the second clamping cylinder 34 drives one end of the second fixed plate 35 upward, the other end of the second fixed plate 35 moves downward, thereby compressing the specified position of the cooler tube fixed to the second product positioning pin 37. The first positioning and clamping mechanism 3 and the second positioning and clamping mechanism 4 perform positioning and clamping from both sides of the cooler tube to ensure stability during the air tightness detection process.
[0052] In this embodiment, a sensor 40 for detecting whether the product is installed in place is further provided at the upper end of the fixing plate 11. The sensor 40 detects whether the product is installed in place and controls the operation of the first end sealing mechanism 1, the second end sealing mechanism 2, the first positioning and clamping mechanism 3, and the second positioning and clamping mechanism 4.
[0053] To sum up, the present invention is provided with a first end sealing mechanism 1, a second end sealing mechanism 2, a first positioning and clamping mechanism 3 and a second positioning and clamping mechanism 4; the first end sealing mechanism 1 is used to seal the opening at one end of the cooler tube, and the second end sealing mechanism 2 is used to seal the opening at the other end of the cooler tube; the first end sealing mechanism 1 and the second end sealing mechanism 2 are both provided with a main cylinder body 5, a sliding block 6 is provided inside the main cylinder body 5, a guide cover 7 is provided at the end of the main cylinder body 5, a sealing gasket 8 is provided inside the guide cover 7, one end of the sliding block 6 extends into the guide cover 7 and presses the sealing gasket 8; the sliding block 6 of the first end sealing mechanism 1 or the second end sealing mechanism 2 is provided with an airtight detection interface 9, and the airtight detection interface 9 is connected to the docked cooler tube through the sealing gasket 8; the first positioning and clamping mechanism 3 is used to position and clamp the first designated position of the cooler tube, and the second positioning and clamping mechanism 4 is used to position and clamp the second designated position of the cooler tube. The base plate 10 serves as the mounting base for the first and second end sealing mechanisms 1 and 2. The fixed plate 11 serves as the mounting base for the first positioning and clamping mechanisms 3 and 4. The clearance gap 12 and clearance notch 13 provide clearance for the first stroke adjustment mechanism 14, enabling the first stroke adjustment mechanism 14 to control the movement of the first end sealing mechanism 1, thereby sealing the opening at one end of the cooler tube. The first and second end sealing mechanisms 1 and 2 are arranged diagonally, while the first and second positioning and clamping mechanisms 3 and 4 are located on either side of the fixed plate 11 to secure the cooler tube. The vertical plate 17 connects the first stroke adjustment cylinder 16 and the first adapter rod 18. The first stroke adjustment cylinder 16, located in the clearance gap 12, drives the vertical plate 17. The vertical plate 17, via the first adapter rod 18, drives the main cylinder 5 of the first end sealing mechanism 1, thereby sealing the end of the cooler tube. The airtightness tester's vent pipe is connected to the airtightness test interface 9 via the vent pipe hole 19. Since both ends of the cooler pipe are sealed by the first-end sealing mechanism 1 and the second-end sealing mechanism 2, the EGR cooler's cooler pipe leaks can be determined by observing the data on the airtightness tester. Mounting seat 21 serves as a connection between the second stroke adjustment cylinder 20 and the column 22. Mounting seat 21 is connected to base plate 10 via column 22, elevating the second stroke adjustment cylinder 20. The drive rod of the second stroke adjustment cylinder 20 drives the second adapter rod 24 via adapter seat 23. The second adapter rod 24 drives the main cylinder 5 of the second end sealing mechanism 2, thereby sealing the other end of the cooler pipe. Due to the positional distribution of the first and second sealing grooves and the driving gas inlet 27, the compressed gas entering through the driving gas inlet 27 can only act on the surface of the sliding block 6, pushing the sliding block 6 to deform the sealing gasket 8, which then tightens around the end opening of the cooler pipe.The airflow entering the cooler tube from the airtightness detection interface 9 can achieve an airtightness detection effect. Because the top of the driving rod of the first clamping cylinder 28 is hinged to the first fixed plate 29, and the middle position of the first fixed plate 29 is hinged via the first ear plate 33 and the first protrusion 32, when the first clamping cylinder 28 drives one end of the first fixed plate 29 upward, the other end of the first fixed plate 29 moves downward, thereby compressing the specified position of the cooler tube fixed to the first product positioning pin 31. Similarly, because the top of the driving rod of the second clamping cylinder 34 is hinged to the second fixed plate 35, and the middle position of the second fixed plate 35 is hinged via the second ear plate 39 and the second protrusion 38, when the second clamping cylinder 34 drives one end of the second fixed plate 35 upward, the other end of the second fixed plate 35 moves downward, thereby compressing the specified position of the cooler tube fixed to the second product positioning pin 37. The first positioning and clamping mechanism 3 and the second positioning and clamping mechanism 4 perform positioning and clamping on both sides of the cooler tube to ensure stability during the airtightness test. This invention saves a lot of man-hours, improves production efficiency, prevents rust on the product, ensures product quality, and saves repair man-hours.
[0054] Although the present invention has been described in detail above using general descriptions and specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and improvements may be made thereto. Therefore, such modifications and improvements, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, are intended to be within the scope of protection claimed herein.
