Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air leakage detection, and more specifically, to an air leakage testing device and a testing method. Background Art

[0002] Traditional air leakage testing devices use airtightness leak detectors to perform inflation tests. Fix the microphone in a sealed cavity, and use a leak detector to inflate the sealed cavity. After the air pressure in the cavity stabilizes, the leak detector detects whether there is any leakage in the air pressure in the cavity, thereby determining whether the microphone is leaking. However, existing air leakage testing devices use leak detectors for testing, which takes a long time and is expensive. In addition, in the testing methods of the prior art, a pressure block is usually placed on the microphone, which can easily cause the leakage gap between the microphone and the PCB (PCB: Printed Circuit Board, referred to as printed circuit board) to be pressed together, resulting in the problem that microphone leakage cannot be detected. Summary of the invention

[0003] One object of the present invention is to provide a new technical solution for a leakage testing device and a testing method, which can at least solve the problems of long testing time, high price and high cost of the testing device in the prior art.

[0012] A second aspect of the present invention provides a testing method for a leakage testing device, which is used to test whether a product to be tested by the leakage testing device described in the above embodiment is leaking. The testing method comprises:

[0013] Placing the product to be detected in the first housing, and making the product to be detected cover the sound hole;

[0014] Recording a first air pressure value in the second shell;

[0041] The air leakage testing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the air leakage testing device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate 10 , a first shell 20 , a second shell 30 and a sensor 40 .

[0043] Specifically, the substrate 10 is provided with a sound hole 11. The first shell 20 is provided on the first side of the substrate 10, and a first cavity 21 for placing the product 80 to be detected is provided in the first shell 20, and the product 80 to be detected covers the sound hole 11, and the first cavity 21 is used to introduce the airflow 70. The second shell 30 is provided on the second side of the substrate 10, and a second cavity 31 communicating with the sound hole 11 is provided in the second shell 30. The sensor 40 is provided in the second cavity 31 to detect the air pressure in the second cavity 31.

[0044] In other words, the air leakage test device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is mainly composed of a substrate 10, a first shell 20, a second shell 30 and a sensor 40. Figure 1As shown, a sound hole 11 is provided on the substrate 10. The first shell 20 is provided on the first side of the substrate 10, and a first cavity 21 is provided in the first shell 20. The first cavity 21 is used to place a product 80 to be tested for air leakage, and the product 80 to be tested is placed in the sealed first cavity 21. The product 80 to be tested is placed at the position of the substrate 10 where the sound hole 11 is provided, ensuring that the product 80 to be tested can cover the sound hole 11. The first cavity 21 can be used to introduce an airflow 70, and the airflow 70 can be compressed air.

[0045] The second housing 30 is disposed on the second side of the substrate 10, and the first side and the second side of the substrate 10 are opposite sides in the thickness direction of the substrate 10. A second cavity 31 communicating with the sound hole 11 is disposed in the second housing 30, and a sealed cavity is formed between the second housing 30 and the substrate 10. The sensor 40 is disposed in the second cavity 31, and the sensor 40 can detect the air pressure in the second cavity 31.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in the actual detection process, the first air pressure value P1 in the second cavity 31 can be detected by the sensor 40, and then the first cavity 21 can be inflated with ordinary compressed air. If there is a leak in the product 80 to be detected, the airflow 70 will be introduced from the first cavity 21 through the product 80 to be detected into the second cavity 31. At this time, the second air pressure value P2 in the second cavity 31 below the product 80 to be detected is recorded. Finally, it can be judged whether there is a leak in the product 80 to be detected based on the difference between the first air pressure value P1 and the second air pressure value P2, and the detection efficiency is high.

[0047] In the present invention, the product to be inspected 80 may be a microphone or other product with a structure composed of a housing and a PCB. The present invention takes the product to be inspected 80 as an example for specific description. There may be two types of air leakage when the microphone is inspected for appearance: one is air leakage from the housing itself (cracks or holes in the housing); the other is air leakage caused by poor welding when the housing and the PCB are soldered using solder paste.

[0048] Therefore, according to the leakage test device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the first shell 20 and the second shell 30 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the substrate 10, and the product 80 to be tested is placed in the first shell 20. By directly introducing the airflow 70 into the first shell 20, the sensor 40 in the second shell 30 is used to detect the air pressure change in the second shell 30, and it can be very quickly determined whether the product 80 to be tested is leaking, and the detection efficiency is high. At the same time, the leakage test device 100 of the present invention does not need to use a leak detector, and uses an ordinary sensor 40 for pressure detection, which effectively reduces the cost.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 10 is a circuit board. Figure 1 As shown, the substrate 10 can be a circuit board, and the first shell 20 and the second shell 30 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the substrate 10, and the product 80 to be tested is placed in the first shell 20. By directly introducing the airflow 70 into the first shell 20, the sensor 40 in the second shell 30 is used to detect the air pressure change in the second shell 30, and it can be very quickly determined whether the product 80 to be tested is leaking, and the detection efficiency is high. At the same time, the leakage test device 100 of the present invention does not need to use a leak detector, which effectively reduces the cost.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air leakage testing device 100 further includes: a pressing block 50 , which is disposed in the first cavity 21 and is placed on the substrate 10 .

[0051] That is to say, Figure 1 As shown, the air leakage test device 100 further includes a pressing block 50, which is disposed in the first cavity 21 and is placed on the substrate 10. Compared with the design of placing the pressing block 50 on the microphone in the prior art, the present invention places the pressing block 50 directly on the substrate 10, further ensuring a good seal between the substrate 10 (circuit board) and the second housing 30. At the same time, since the pressing block 50 is disposed on the substrate 10 instead of on the microphone, it can effectively prevent the gap between the microphone and the substrate 10 or the gap on the outer shell of the microphone from being pressed by the pressing block 50, thereby effectively avoiding the situation where the microphone leakage cannot be detected.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are a plurality of pressing blocks 50, and the plurality of pressing blocks 50 are arranged on the substrate 10 at intervals. Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of pressing blocks 50 may be used, for example, two pressing blocks 50 may be provided, and the two pressing blocks 50 may be placed on the substrate 10 at intervals, further ensuring a good seal between the substrate 10 (circuit board) and the second housing 30. At the same time, since the pressing block 50 is provided on the substrate 10 instead of on the microphone, it is possible to effectively prevent the gap between the microphone and the substrate 10 or the gap on the housing of the microphone from being pressed by the pressing block 50, thereby effectively preventing the microphone from leaking and being unable to be detected.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the orthographic projection area of ​​the first shell 20 on the substrate 10 is greater than the orthographic projection area of ​​the second shell 30 on the substrate 10. Figure 1 As shown, the volume of the first shell 20 is greater than the volume of the second shell 30 , which is beneficial to further improve the detection accuracy of the air leakage testing device 100 .

[0054] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first housing 20 is sealed and connected to the substrate 10, and the second housing 30 is adhesively connected to the substrate 10. Figure 1 As shown, the first shell 20 and the substrate 10 can be sealed and connected, and the second shell 30 and the substrate 10 can be sealed and connected by bonding, so as to ensure that a closed cavity is formed between the first shell 20 and the substrate 10 and between the second shell 30 and the substrate 10. In the actual detection process, the first air pressure value P1 in the second cavity 31 can be detected by the sensor 40, and then the first cavity 21 can be inflated with ordinary compressed air. If there is a leak in the product 80 to be detected, the airflow 70 will be introduced from the first cavity 21 through the product 80 to be detected into the second cavity 31. At this time, the second air pressure value P2 in the second cavity 31 below the product 80 to be detected is recorded. Finally, according to the difference between the first air pressure value P1 and the second air pressure value P2, it can be judged whether there is a leak in the product 80 to be detected, and the detection efficiency is high.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a sealing pad 60 is provided between the second housing 30 and the substrate 10. Figure 1 As shown, a sealing pad 60 can be used to seal the second shell 30 and the substrate 10 to ensure the stability and sealing of the connection between the second shell 30 and the substrate 10. Of course, the second shell 30 and the substrate 10 can also be sealed in other ways, which will not be described in detail in the present invention.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the orthographic projection area of ​​the sealing rubber pad 60 on the substrate 10 is larger than the orthographic projection area of ​​the second housing 30 on the substrate 10. Figure 1 As shown, the sealing rubber pad 60 can completely cover the second shell 30, thereby ensuring better sealing between the second shell 30 and the substrate 10 and improving the test accuracy.

[0057] In summary, according to the leakage test device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the first shell 20 and the second shell 30 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the substrate 10, and the product 80 to be tested is placed in the first shell 20. By directly introducing the airflow 70 into the first shell 20, the sensor 40 in the second shell 30 is used to detect the air pressure change in the second shell 30, and it can be judged very quickly whether the product 80 to be tested is leaking, and the detection efficiency is high. At the same time, the leakage test device 100 of the present invention does not need to use a leak detector, and uses an ordinary sensor 40 for pressure detection, which effectively reduces the cost. And by placing the pressing block 50 directly on the substrate 10, the good sealing between the substrate 10 (circuit board) and the second shell 30 is further guaranteed. At the same time, since the pressing block 50 is arranged on the substrate 10 instead of being arranged on the microphone, it can effectively prevent the gap between the microphone and the substrate 10 or the gap on the outer shell of the microphone from being pressed by the pressing block 50, thereby effectively avoiding the situation where the microphone leakage cannot be detected.

[0058] Of course, for those skilled in the art, other structures and working principles of the air leakage testing device 100 are understandable and achievable, and will not be described in detail in the present invention.

[0059] According to a second aspect of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a testing method of a leakage testing device 100 is provided, which is used to test whether the product 80 to be tested of the leakage testing device 100 in the above embodiment is leaking. The testing method includes:

[0060] S1, placing the product to be tested 80 in the first housing 20, and making the product to be tested 80 cover the sound hole 11;

[0061] S2, recording the first air pressure value in the second housing 30;

[0062] S3, blowing air into the first shell 20;

[0063] S4, after a predetermined time, recording the second air pressure value of the second housing 30;

[0064] S5. Calculate the difference between the second air pressure value and the first air pressure value. When the difference is greater than a set threshold, determine that the product to be tested 80 is leaking.

[0065] That is to say, Figure 1 As shown, the testing method of the air leakage test device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is mainly used to test whether the product 80 to be tested of the air leakage test device 100 in the above embodiment is leaking. In the actual testing method, first, the product 80 to be tested can be placed in the first shell 20, and the product 80 to be tested can cover the sound hole 11. Then, the first air pressure value P1 in the second shell 30 can be recorded by the sensor 40. Next, air can be blown into the first shell 20, for example, ordinary compressed air can be filled into the first shell 20. After a predetermined time, the second air pressure value P2 of the second shell 30 is recorded by the sensor 40. Finally, the difference between the second air pressure value and the first air pressure value is calculated. When the difference is greater than the set threshold, it can be judged that the product 80 to be tested is leaking. The testing method of the air leakage test device 100 of the present invention is simple and easy to operate, and has good detection accuracy and responsiveness.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined time is 2-5 seconds. Figure 1As shown, the test method of the air leakage test device 100 of the present invention can obtain the second pressure value P2 in only 2-5 seconds, for example, 3 seconds, after ordinary compressed air is filled into the first shell 20, and the number of channels is not limited. Compared with the prior art air leakage detection method using a leak detector, the test time of the detector is usually more than 8 seconds, and the channels are all single channels. Therefore, the test method of the air leakage test device 100 of the present invention can greatly improve the efficiency of air leakage testing.

[0067] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of example, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
