[0063] In some embodiments, the sealing detection device includes: a distance sensor for detecting the gap between the connecting rod 20 and the sealing lip 12 .

[0064] By detecting the gap between the connecting rod 20 and the sealing lip 12 through a distance sensor and comparing the gap with the critical gap at which the oil seal 10 loses its sealing effect, it is possible to accurately determine whether the sealing between the connecting rod 20 and the sealing lip 12 of the oil seal 10 has failed.

[0065] In some embodiments, the pushing device 30 includes: two push pins 32 connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 20 respectively; a push plate 33 connected to the two push pins 32; and a push rod 35 connected to the push plate 33.

[0066] Through the two push pins 32 respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 20, the connecting rod 20 can be pushed to move stably in the radial direction to stably apply lateral force to the oil seal 10; through the push plate 33 and the push rod 35, the movement of the connecting rod 20 is conveniently controlled.

[0067] The displacement detection device 40 may be a micrometer connected to the push plate 33 , which can accurately detect the displacement of the connecting rod 20 pushed by the pushing device 30 .

[0076] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for detecting a failure offset of a shock absorber oil seal, which can be implemented based on the failure offset detection device described in any of the above embodiments to achieve accurate and convenient detection of the failure offset of the shock absorber oil seal.

[0077] Figure 5 The main steps of a method for detecting the failure offset of a shock absorber oil seal are shown; combined with Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, a method for detecting a failure offset of a shock absorber oil seal includes:

[0078] S700a, pushing the connecting rod 20 to move by the pushing device 30, so that the connecting rod 20 pulls the oil seal 10 laterally;

[0079] S700b, detecting the displacement of the connecting rod 20 pushed by the pushing device 30 by the displacement detecting device 40, and detecting the sealing state between the connecting rod 20 and the sealing lip 12 of the oil seal 10 by the sealing detecting device;

[0080] S700c, when the sealing detection device detects a signal indicating a change in the sealing state, the detection value of the displacement detection device 40 is read as the failure offset of the oil seal 10.

[0081] The above-mentioned failure offset detection method is easy to operate. Through the cooperation of the connecting rod 20, the pushing device 30, the sealing detection device and the displacement detection device 40, a lateral force is stably applied to the oil seal 10 of the shock absorber and the offset of the oil seal 10 when the sealing effect is lost under the action of the lateral force can be accurately detected. By comparing the offset with the specified offset threshold, it can be effectively identified whether the sealing performance of the oil seal 10 meets the requirements, so as to ensure that a qualified oil seal 10 is used in the shock absorber, thereby ensuring the performance and service life of the shock absorber.

[0082] In some embodiments, the signal characterizing the change in the sealing state between the connecting rod 20 and the sealing lip 12 includes: a signal indicating a change in the sealing state of the sealing cavity 551 where the oil seal 10 is located, and / or a signal indicating that the gap between the connecting rod 20 and the sealing lip 12 increases to a critical gap.

[0083] When the sealing detection device detects that the sealing state of the sealing cavity 551 changes, or detects that the gap between the connecting rod 20 and the sealing lip 12 increases to a critical gap, it indicates that the oil seal 10 has lost its sealing effect.

[0084] Figure 6 The main steps of another method for detecting the failure offset of the shock absorber oil seal are shown; Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in an embodiment where the sealing detection device includes an air pressure formed in the sealing cavity 551 and a liquid seal formed in the open cavity 552, the failure offset detection method of the shock absorber oil seal may include the following steps.

[0085] S800a, ventilate the sealed cavity 551 to form air pressure, and inject water into the open cavity 552 to form a liquid seal. When forming air pressure, a certain amount of gas can be injected into the sealed cavity 551 through the gas port 550, and then the sealed cavity 551 is sealed.

[0086] S800b, push the connecting rod 20 to move by the pushing device 30, so that the connecting rod 20 pulls the oil seal 10 laterally. In specific implementation, the push rod 35 can be rotated to accurately and smoothly push the push plate 33 and the two ejector pins 32 to move in the radial direction; the connecting rod 20 will pull the oil seal 10 laterally during the movement, so that the oil seal 10 is eccentric.

[0087] S800c, using the displacement detection device 40 to detect the displacement of the connecting rod 20 pushed by the pushing device 30, and observe whether bubbles are generated in the liquid seal. When the connecting rod 20 pulls the oil seal 10 sideways to a certain extent, the sealing state between the connecting rod 20 and the sealing lip 12 of the oil seal 10 will change, which is manifested as bubbles in the liquid seal.

[0088] S800d, when bubbles are generated in the liquid seal, the detection value of the displacement detection device 40 is read as the failure offset of the oil seal 10.

[0089] In this way, through the cooperation of the connecting rod 20, the pushing device 30, the sealing detection device and the displacement detection device 40, based on the sealing detection principle of air pressure + liquid seal, the change in the sealing state of the sealing cavity 551 is used to cause the liquid seal to produce bubbles, and the displacement of the oil seal 10 when it loses its sealing effect under the action of lateral force can be detected conveniently and accurately.

[0090] In summary, the failure offset detection device and the failure offset detection method provided by the present invention apply lateral force to the oil seal 10 through the connecting rod 20 that passes through the center hole 11 of the oil seal 10, is sealed against the sealing lip 12 of the oil seal 10, and the pushing device 30 that can radially push the connecting rod 20 to move; in the process of the connecting rod 20 pulling the oil seal 10 laterally, the displacement detection device 40 detects the offset of the oil seal 10 under the action of the lateral force, and the sealing detection device detects the sealing state between the connecting rod 20 and the sealing lip 12 of the oil seal 10; when the sealing detection device detects a change in the sealing state, the detection value displayed by the displacement detection device 40 is the failure offset of the oil seal 10, that is, the offset that causes the oil seal 10 to lose its sealing effect under the action of the lateral force.

[0091] The failure offset detection device and the failure offset detection method provided by the present invention have a simple structure and are easy to operate. Through the cooperation of the connecting rod 20, the pushing device 30, the sealing detection device and the displacement detection device 40, the offset of the oil seal 10 of the shock absorber when it loses the sealing effect under the action of the lateral force can be accurately detected. By comparing the offset with the specified offset threshold, it can be effectively identified whether the sealing performance of the oil seal 10 meets the requirements, so as to ensure that the qualified oil seal 10 is used in the shock absorber, thereby ensuring the performance and service life of the shock absorber.
