Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water pump tightness testing technology, and in particular to a water pump tightness testing system and testing method. Background Technology
[0002] A water pump is a machine that transports or pressurizes liquids. It transfers the mechanical energy of a prime mover or other external energy to the liquid, increasing its energy. It is mainly used to transport liquids including water, oil, acids and alkalis, emulsions, suspensions, and liquid metals. It can also transport mixtures of liquids and gases, as well as liquids containing suspended solids. Technical parameters of water pump performance include flow rate, suction head, discharge head, shaft power, water power, and efficiency. Based on different working principles, they can be classified into positive displacement pumps, centrifugal pumps, etc. Positive displacement pumps transfer energy by utilizing changes in the volume of their working chamber; centrifugal pumps transfer energy by utilizing the interaction between rotating blades and water, and include centrifugal pumps, axial flow pumps, and mixed flow pumps.
[0003] Currently, all water pumps undergo airtightness testing after manufacturing to determine their quality. However, existing methods rely on sealing rings to control the sealing of the pump's ports, inlet pipes, and outlet pipes. Due to the irregularities within the pump's ports, inlet pipes, and outlet pipes, the sealing effect is poor. This poor sealing leads to low accuracy in airtightness testing, causing qualified products to be judged as unqualified, resulting in wasted costs. Furthermore, the testing is done manually, one by one, which is inefficient and lacks automation. Therefore, a water pump airtightness testing system and method are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0034] Reference Figure 1-11 A water pump tightness testing system and testing method are disclosed, comprising a support mechanism 1. The top of the support mechanism 1 is respectively provided with a conveying mechanism 2, an intermittent mechanism 3, a clamping and positioning mechanism 4, a sealing mechanism 5 and a tightness testing mechanism 6. The support mechanism 1 supports the conveying mechanism 2, the intermittent mechanism 3, the clamping and positioning mechanism 4, the sealing mechanism 5 and the tightness testing mechanism 6.
[0035] The support mechanism 1 includes support columns 11 and connecting horizontal plates 12. At least four support columns 11 are provided, and every two support columns 11 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting horizontal plates 12 and are fixedly installed to the bottom end of the connecting horizontal plates 12.
[0036] In use, the effect of supporting multiple mechanisms is achieved by setting support mechanism 1.
[0037] Among them, the conveying mechanism 2 realizes the automatic delivery of water pump installed and fixed inside the clamping and positioning mechanism 4 to the sealed detection mechanism 6 for detection operation.
[0038] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying shaft 21 and a conveying belt 22. The two ends of the two conveying shafts 21 are rotatably connected to the opposite surfaces of the two connecting cross plates 12 through bearings. Conveying rollers 23 are fixedly installed on the arc surface of the conveying shafts 21. The arc surfaces of the two conveying rollers 23 are connected to the inner wall of the conveying belt 22 through transmission.
[0039] During use, the water pump is automatically moved and transported during testing by the conveying mechanism 2, so that the water pump can directly enter the testing stage after production, thus enhancing the testing efficiency.
[0040] The intermittent mechanism 3 enables the intermittent conveying operation of the conveying mechanism 2. The intermittent mechanism 3 includes a drive shaft 31 and a drive lever 32. A first drive motor 33 is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting plate 12 near the drive lever 32. The output shaft of the first drive motor 33 is fixedly installed with a lever shaft 34 through a coupling. A lever disc 35 is fixedly installed at one end of the lever shaft 34. The surface of the lever disc 35 is fixedly installed with the surface of the drive lever 32. One end of the drive shaft 31 is fixedly installed with the surface opposite to the conveying shaft 21. A drive intermittent disc 36 is fixedly installed at the other end of the drive shaft 31. The drive intermittent disc 36 and the drive lever 32 operate intermittently.
[0041] In use, the gap mechanism controls the water pump's intermittent conveying movement, which is convenient for use with the sealing detection mechanism 6. The sealing detection effect is achieved by stopping the conveying during the conveying process, making the detection continuous and enhancing the detection efficiency.
[0042] The clamping and positioning mechanism 4 enables rapid positioning and clamping of the water pump. Multiple clamping and positioning mechanisms 4 are linearly arranged on the conveying mechanism 2. The clamping and positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning clamping frame 41 and a magnetic suction plate 42. The mounting surfaces of multiple positioning clamping frames 41 are fixedly installed on the surface of the conveyor belt 22. The inner bottom wall of the positioning clamping frame 41 is provided with a mounting groove 43. The inner wall of the mounting groove 43 is fixedly installed on the surface of the magnetic suction plate 42. The inner walls on both sides of the top of the positioning clamping frame 41 are rotatably connected to the pins 44 through bearings. The arc surface of the pins 44 is fixedly installed with a hinged magnetic plate 45. The hinged magnetic plate 45 is located above the magnetic suction plate 42. The water pump is installed between the hinged magnetic plate 45 and the magnetic suction plate 42.
[0043] In use, the hinged magnetic plate 45 is driven to rotate during the installation of the water pump by the pin 44, thereby placing the water pump between the hinged magnetic plate 45 and the magnetic suction plate 42. The magnetic force is used to control the hinged magnetic plate 45 to attract the magnetic suction plate 42, thereby squeezing the water pump to achieve the effect of quick installation and fixation.
[0044] A magnetic force generating box 46 is fixedly installed on the top of the hinged magnetic plate 45. A magnetic force generating box 46 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the magnetic force generating box 46. A magnetic force coil 48 is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the magnetic force shaft 47. Copper wire 49 is wound on the surface of the magnetic force coil 48. A limit plate 410 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner bottom wall of the positioning clamping frame 41.
[0045] In use, the copper wire 49 is energized to generate magnetic force, which is then transmitted to the hinged magnetic plate 45 to attract the magnetic suction plate 42.
[0046] An annular insulating ring 411 is fixedly installed on one end surface of the conveyor belt 22. A conductive ring groove 412 is opened on one side surface of the annular insulating ring 411. A conductive ring 413 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the conductive ring groove 412. A carbon brush mounting seat 414 is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting cross plate 12 near the conductive ring 413. A carbon brush 415 is fixedly installed inside the carbon brush mounting seat 414. The conductive end of the carbon brush 415 is electrically connected to the surface of the conductive ring 413. A switch 416 is respectively provided on the top of one end of each positioning clamping frame 41. Multiple switches 416 are electrically connected to the conductive ring 413 through a controller. Each switch 416 is electrically connected to the corresponding copper wire 49.
[0047] In use, the carbon brush 415 is used to conduct electricity. One end of the carbon brush 415 slides and conducts electricity on the surface of the conductive ring 413. Multiple switches 416 are connected to the conductive ring 413 to conduct electricity, thus avoiding the effect of wired connection causing wire tangling.
[0048] The sealing mechanism 5 performs the sealing operation during the water pump sealing test. The sealing mechanism 5 includes a first U-shaped seat 51 and a first cylinder 52. The two U-shaped ends of the first U-shaped seat 51 are fixedly installed to the tops of two connecting horizontal plates 12, respectively. The mounting surface of the first cylinder 52 is fixedly installed to the inner top wall of the first U-shaped seat 51. A second U-shaped seat 53 is fixedly installed at the telescopic bottom end of the first cylinder 52. A rotating shaft 54 is rotatably connected to the lower inner walls of the second U-shaped seat 53 via bearings. A second drive motor 55 is fixedly installed on one side of the second U-shaped seat 53. The output shaft of the second drive motor 55 is fixedly installed to the opposing surface of the rotating shaft 54 via a coupling. The two ends of the rotating shaft 54 are respectively provided with a left-hand thread and a right-hand thread. A left drive block 56 is connected to the surface thread, and a right drive block 57 is connected to the surface thread with a right-hand thread. A first block 58 is fixedly installed at the bottom of both the left drive block 56 and the bottom of the right drive block 57. A first plug shaft 59 is fixedly connected to one side of the first plug block 58. A first airbag 510 is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the first plug shaft 59. A first air inlet 511 is opened at one end of the first plug shaft 59 and one end of the first plug block 58. A first air inlet pipe 512 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first air inlet 511. A first valve 513 is provided on the surface of the first air inlet pipe 512. The air inlet end of the first air inlet pipe 512 is fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the air pump. The two first plug shafts 59 are located inside the through hole of the water pump and inside the water inlet pipe, respectively.
[0049] During use, when controlling the sealing of the water pump's through hole, inlet pipe, and outlet pipe, the first plug shaft 59 and the second plug shaft 65 are controlled to enter the interior of the through hole, inlet pipe, and outlet pipe. The air pressure input controls the expansion movement of the first airbag 510 and the second airbag 67, which compress the inner wall to achieve a sealing effect. This avoids the poor sealing effect caused by irregular sealing rings, which leads to water pump sealing detection errors, low detection efficiency, and low product qualification rate when the sealing effect is poor.
[0050] The sealing detection mechanism 6 enables the sealing detection operation of the water pump during intermittent delivery. The sealing detection mechanism 6 includes a connecting plate 61 and a second cylinder 62. One end of the connecting plate 61 is fixedly installed on the opposite surface of the second U-shaped seat 53, and the top of the connecting plate 61 is fixedly installed on the mounting surface of the second cylinder 62. A third U-shaped seat 63 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic end of the second cylinder 62. Second blocking blocks 64 are fixedly installed at the bottom of both U-shaped ends of the third U-shaped seat 63. The bottom of each second blocking block 64 is fixedly equipped with... The second plug shaft 65 has a second air inlet 66 on its surface, which is fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe of the water pump. A second air bag 67 is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the second plug shaft 65, and a second valve 68 is provided at the bottom end of the second plug shaft 65. A second air inlet pipe 69 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the second air inlet 66. A third valve 610 and a pressure gauge 611 are respectively provided on the surface of the second air inlet pipe 69, with the pressure gauge 611 located at the bottom of the third valve 610.
[0051] During use, air pressure is introduced into the water pump, and the pressure change is observed using pressure gauge 611 to determine whether it is qualified. This avoids the existing method of using water pressure for testing, prevents rust and damage when water pressure enters, and also prevents air leakage and failure to detect when the second air bag 67 has not yet inflated during operation.
[0052] By setting up the clamping and positioning mechanism 4, the water pump can be quickly installed and fixed during testing. The operation is simple, which enhances the efficiency of installation and reduces the difficulty of operation for the staff. The sealing mechanism 5 enables rapid sealing operation with strong sealing effect. It can also seal the water pump even when the inner wall of the sealing end is irregular, preventing air leakage from causing testing errors and affecting the product pass rate. This enhances the efficiency of testing and reduces the impact of unqualified products entering the market. The entire testing process is highly automated, requiring only one person to load and unload materials, or existing robotic arms can be used for loading and unloading operations, thereby reducing testing costs.
[0053] Working principle: Step 1, during operation, the operator controls the first drive motor 33 to drive the lever shaft 34 to rotate. The rotation of the lever shaft 34 drives the drive lever 32 to rotate. The rotation of the drive lever 32 pushes the drive intermittent disk 36 to rotate, thereby driving the drive intermittent disk 36 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive shaft 31 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the conveyor shaft 21, so that the conveyor belt 22 can work. When the drive lever 32 leaves the drive intermittent disk 36, the drive intermittent disk 36 stops working, thereby controlling the intermittent transmission motion of the conveyor belt 22.
[0054] Step 2: When the conveyor belt 22 stops intermittently, the worker takes the water pump and places it inside the positioning clamping frame 41, above the magnetic suction plate 42. The hinged magnetic plate 45 is rotated by the pin 44 to press the water pump mounting base. After installation, the switch 416 is clicked to control the connected copper wire 49 to work, and then the hinged magnetic plate 45 generates magnetic force to hold the magnetic suction plate 42, thereby pressing the water pump mounting base to install and fix it.
[0055] Step 3: When the water pump reaches below the sealing mechanism 5 during the intermittent conveying of the conveyor belt 22, the conveyor belt 22 is stationary during intermittent transmission. The first cylinder 52 extends, driving the second U-shaped seat 53 downwards. This controls the first plug shafts 59 at both ends to reach the through hole and inlet pipe positions of the water pump. The second drive motor 55 rotates, driving the rotating shaft 54. Due to the left-hand and right-hand thread configuration, the left drive block 56 and right drive block 57 on the drive surface move simultaneously during the rotation of the rotating shaft 54. As the rotating shaft 54 drives the left drive block 56 and right drive block 57 to move inwards, the second plug blocks 64 at both ends press against both sides of the water pump. This controls the two first plug shafts 59 to be positioned inside the through hole and inlet pipe of the water pump, respectively, opening the first valve 5. 13. The air pressure from the control air pump enters the first airbag 510, causing it to expand and press against the inside of the water pump's through hole and the water inlet pipe to seal it. At the same time, the second cylinder 62 is driven to extend, causing the third U-shaped seat 63 to move downward, thereby causing the surface of the second block 64 to press against the surface of the water pump's outlet pipe. Simultaneously, the second plug shaft 65 moves into the inside of the outlet pipe, closing the second valve 68. The air pressure input by the air pump enters the second airbag 67, causing it to expand and press against the inside of the outlet pipe to seal it. While the air pressure is continuously input, the second valve 68 is opened to control the air pressure to enter the inside of the water pump. The air pressure inside the water pump is detected by the pressure gauge 611. When the air pressure does not change, it indicates that the water pump is sealed. When the air pressure changes too much, it indicates that the water pump is not sealed.
[0056] Step 4: After the sealing detection mechanism 6 has finished its detection, control the first blocking shaft 59 and the second blocking shaft 65 to retract and return to their original positions. The retraction of the first cylinder 52 drives the sealing mechanism 5 and the sealing detection mechanism 6 to reset, and at the same time drives the intermittent disk 36 to rotate and work, driving the tested water pump to transport forward.
[0057] Step 5: After the water pump under test leaves the sealed testing mechanism 6, the operator turns off the power supply connected by the copper wire 49 by clicking switch 416, so that the magnetic force is disconnected. Then, the hinged magnetic plate 45 can be rotated to move away from the mounting surface of the water pump, and the water pump under test can be removed.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

7. The detection method of a water pump tightness detection system according to claim 6, characterized in that: Step 1: During operation, the operator controls the first drive motor (33) to drive the lever shaft (34) to rotate. The rotation of the lever shaft (34) drives the drive lever (32) to rotate. The rotation of the drive lever (32) pushes the drive intermittent disk (36) to rotate, thereby driving the drive intermittent disk (36) to rotate, driving the drive shaft (31) to rotate, and thus controlling the rotation of the conveyor shaft (21), so that the conveyor belt (22) can work. When the drive lever (32) leaves the drive intermittent disk (36), the drive intermittent disk (36) stops working, thereby controlling the intermittent transmission motion of the conveyor belt (22). Step 2: When the conveyor belt (22) stops intermittently, the worker takes the water pump and places it inside the positioning clamping frame (41), above the magnetic suction plate (42). The hinged magnetic plate (45) is rotated by the pin (44) to squeeze the water pump mounting base. After installation, the switch (416) is clicked to control the connected copper wire (49) to work, and the hinged magnetic plate (45) generates magnetic force to hold the magnetic suction plate (42), thereby squeezing the water pump mounting base to install and fix it. Step 3: When the water pump arrives below the sealing mechanism (5) during the intermittent conveying of the conveyor belt (22), the conveyor belt (22) is stationary during the intermittent transmission. The first cylinder (52) extends and drives the second U-shaped seat (53) below to move downward, thereby controlling the first plug shafts (59) at both ends to reach the position of the water pump's through hole and the water inlet pipe. By controlling the second drive motor (55) to rotate, the rotating shaft (54) is driven to rotate. With the setting of left-hand and right-hand threads, the left drive block (56) and right drive block (57) on the drive surface move simultaneously during the rotation of the rotating shaft (54). When the rotating shaft (54) drives the left drive block (56) and right drive block (57) to move inward simultaneously, the second plug blocks (64) at both ends are squeezed against both sides of the water pump, controlling the two first plug shafts (59) to be located inside the water pump's through hole and inside the water inlet pipe, respectively. Open the first valve (513) to control the air pressure of the air pump to enter the first air bag (510) so that the first air bag (510) expands and is squeezed into the through hole of the water pump and the inside of the water inlet pipe to seal it. At the same time, drive the second cylinder (62) to extend and drive the third U-shaped seat (63) to move downward, thereby driving the surface of the second block (64) to press against the surface of the water pump outlet pipe. At the same time, the second block shaft (65) comes into the inside of the outlet pipe. Close the second valve (68) and the air pressure input by the air pump enters the second air bag (67) so that the second air bag (67) expands and is squeezed into the inside of the outlet pipe to seal it. While the air pressure is continuously input, open the second valve (68) to control the air pressure to enter the inside of the water pump. Use the pressure gauge (611) to detect the air pressure inside the water pump. When the air pressure does not change, it means that the water pump is sealed. When the air pressure changes too much, the water pump is not sealed. Step 4: After the sealing detection mechanism (6) finishes its detection, control the first blocking shaft (59) and the second blocking shaft (65) to retract and return to their original positions. The retraction of the first cylinder (52) drives the sealing mechanism (5) and the sealing detection mechanism (6) to reset. At the same time, the intermittent disc (36) is driven to rotate and work, driving the tested water pump to transport forward. Step 5: After the water pump being tested leaves the sealed testing mechanism (6), the staff can turn off the power supply connected by the copper wire (49) by clicking the switch (416) to disconnect the magnetic force. Then, the hinged magnetic plate (45) can be rotated to leave the mounting surface of the water pump, and the water pump being tested can be removed.
