Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of air tightness detection, and in particular to a gearbox air tightness detection device. Background Art

[0002] The gearbox housing is an important component in the car. Its function is to provide installation space for the gear transmission mechanism. The housing is mainly composed of an upper shell and a lower shell. Since lubricating oil needs to be added to the gearbox to lubricate the gears, strict requirements are placed on the sealing performance of the gearbox. In the prior art, when testing the sealing performance of the gearbox, although the gearbox has a certain waterproof ability, it is not absolutely waterproof. It should be avoided to immerse the gearbox directly in water for testing. The commonly used method is to inflate the box and apply soapy water on the outside to observe whether bubbles are generated, so as to determine whether there is a leak. In this process, a spray bottle is generally used to evenly spray soapy water on the surface of the gearbox. However, it is worth noting that soapy water will mix with external dust. It should be noted that soapy water has a low surface tension and is easy to form bubbles. However, dust particles will adhere to the surface of the liquid, interfering with the uniform distribution of surface tension, making it difficult for bubbles to form stably, that is, soapy water mixed with dust will affect the formation of bubbles, thereby affecting the detection effect. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the problem that soapy water is generally sprayed evenly on the surface of the gearbox using a spray bottle, however, it is worth noting that the soapy water will mix with the external dust. It should be noted that the surface tension of soapy water is low and bubbles are easily formed. However, dust particles will adhere to the liquid surface and interfere with the uniform distribution of surface tension, making it difficult for bubbles to form stably, that is, soapy water mixed with dust will affect the formation of its bubbles, thereby affecting the detection effect. The present invention provides a gearbox air tightness detection device.

[0005] Optionally, a plurality of cleaning blocks are provided on the first spray ring.

[0006] Optionally, the base, the sponge block and the connecting plate are all configured as quick-release structures.

[0007] The multi-stage push rod optionally also includes a cleaning assembly, which includes a second spray ring and a second air pipe; the second spray ring is fixedly connected to the first spray ring; a plurality of second air pipes are passed through the isolation barrel, and the second air pipes are telescopic pipes; all the second air pipes are commonly connected to the second spray ring.

[0008] Optionally, a detection component is also included, which includes a connecting ring and a sealing ring; the telescopic ends of all multi-stage push rods are commonly connected to a connecting ring, which is tightly attached to the first spray ring; and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the connecting ring.

[0009] Optionally, the nozzles on the second spray ring are arranged to be inclined downward.

[0010] Optionally, the connecting ring is arranged in a ring structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0011] Optionally, the sealing ring adopts a polyurethane sealing strip.

[0012] Optionally, the blocking ring is arranged in a ring structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes an electric push rod, a limit cover and a rubber membrane; a plurality of electric push rods are passed through the top cover; the telescopic ends of all the electric push rods are fixedly connected to the limit cover, and a blocking block is arranged on the limit cover; a plurality of rubber membranes are passed through the limit cover.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention is in a closed state for a long time by means of the base, the isolation barrel and the top cover, and the amount of dust inside is small, that is, in the process of spraying soapy water, a large amount of dust will not be attached to the gearbox. It should be noted that the surface tension of soapy water is low and bubbles are easily formed. However, dust particles will adhere to the surface of the liquid, interfering with the uniform distribution of the surface tension, making it difficult for bubbles to form stably, that is, the mixing of dust particles and soapy water will affect the formation of bubbles, thereby affecting the subsequent judgment of the leakage through bubbles; 2. The present invention flows downward through the gap between the blocking ring and the gearbox housing, that is, there is water leakage in the concave area. Since water leakage may also generate bubbles, on the one hand, the first spray ring needs to continuously replenish soapy water, and on the other hand, the soapy water in the concave area continues to move upward with the push of the multi-stage push rod. After the concave area passes the suspected leakage point, the surface of the suspected leakage point is covered with soapy water. The suspected leakage point is observed again to see whether bubbles are generated. If no bubbles are generated, the bubbles generated in the soapy water in the concave part of the suspected leakage point are caused by water leakage. If bubbles are generated, it is determined that there is leakage at this place. 3. The present invention covers the reserved through-hole position by a limit cover, and judges through a rubber membrane. When the rubber membrane expands outward, it is judged that there is a leakage problem in the through-hole reserved for the gearbox. When a problem occurs, the staff is required to reconnect the first air pipe and the through-hole reserved for the gearbox, or reassemble the gearbox for subsequent testing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Example

[0018] A gearbox air tightness testing device, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a base 1, an isolation barrel 2, a top cover 3 and a first gas pipeline 4; the base 1 is fixedly connected with the isolation barrel 2, and the isolation barrel 2 is provided with four circular array observation windows 2001; the isolation barrel 2 is installed with a top cover 3, and the top cover 3 is penetrated with a first gas pipeline 4, and the first gas pipeline 4 is a hose; It also includes a multi-stage push rod 5, a first spray ring 6, a first connecting pipe 7, a sponge block 8, a connecting plate 9, a second connecting pipe 10 and a placement rack 11; two symmetrically arranged multi-stage push rods 5 are bolted to the base 1; the telescopic ends of all the multi-stage push rods 5 are commonly fixedly connected to the first spray ring 6, and the first spray ring 6 is provided with a plurality of annular array nozzles; two symmetrically arranged first connecting pipes 7 are passed through the isolation barrel 2, and the first connecting pipe 7 is a telescopic pipe; all the first connecting pipes 7 are commonly connected to the first spray ring 6; a connecting plate 9 is connected to the base 1; a sponge block 8 is installed on the connecting plate 9; a second connecting pipe 10 is passed through the connecting plate 9, and a placement rack 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the isolation barrel 2.

[0019] The first spray ring 6 is provided with four cleaning blocks 6001 in a circular array for cleaning the observation window 2001 .

[0020] The base 1 , the sponge block 8 and the connecting plate 9 are all configured as a quick-release structure, so that the sponge block 8 can be easily replaced.

[0021] First, the staff uses the external gas transmission equipment to connect with the first gas transmission pipe 4, and then uses the external conveying equipment to connect with the first connecting pipe 7. Then the staff opens the top cover 3, and then puts the gearbox into the isolation barrel 2, and supports the gearbox with the sponge block 8, and limits the upper end of the gearbox through the placement frame 11 to keep the gearbox in a vertical state, and then connects the first gas transmission pipe 4 with the through hole reserved during the gearbox assembly process, and then reinstalls the top cover 3 back to the isolation barrel 2 and fixes it, and then controls the operation of the external conveying equipment to inject soapy water into the first connecting pipe 7, and then the soapy water enters the first spray ring 6, and is sprayed out through the first spray ring 6 and sprayed on the gearbox, and at the same time controls the multi-stage push rod 5 to push the first spray ring 6 to The base 1, the isolating barrel 2 and the top cover 3 are in a closed state for a long time, so the amount of dust inside is relatively small, that is, in the process of spraying soapy water, a large amount of dust will not be attached to the gearbox with soapy water. It should be noted that the surface tension of soapy water is low and bubbles are easily formed. However, dust particles will adhere to the liquid surface, interfering with the uniform distribution of surface tension, making it difficult for bubbles to form stably. That is, the mixture of dust particles and soapy water will affect the formation of bubbles, thereby affecting the subsequent judgment of the leak through bubbles, and then controlling the peripherals. The gas transmission equipment is operated to inject gas into the first gas transmission pipe 4, and then the air flow enters the gearbox through the first gas transmission pipe 4. During this process, the staff observes whether there are bubbles at the connection of the gearbox through the observation window 2001 to determine whether there is a leakage problem in the gearbox. When the leakage hole is very small, the soapy water applied on the gearbox forms bubbles, and part of the soapy water will splash to the outside of the gearbox and drip down on the sponge block 8. The soapy water is absorbed by the sponge block 8, and at the same time, part of the splashed soapy water in the spraying process is absorbed. When there is a larger leakage hole, the soapy water applied on the gearbox will be driven by the sprayed air flow to adhere to the observation window 2001, which is convenient for the staff to observe. After completing the inspection, the staff first opens Open the top cover 3, and then take out the gearbox, and repair the gearbox according to the test results. After taking out the gearbox, control the multi-stage push rod 5 to drive the first spray ring 6 to move up and down, and the first spray ring 6 drives the cleaning block 6001 to move up and down, and wipe the soapy water attached to the observation window 2001, so that the staff can observe it again. The soapy water on the sponge block 8, some of the soapy water when the gearbox is placed, because the gearbox squeezes the sponge block 8, that is, the soapy water on the sponge block 8 will be discharged through the second connecting pipe 10. After long-term use, the staff can remove the connecting plate 9 from the base 1, and at the same time, the sponge block 8 on which the connecting plate 9 is installed is separated from the base 1, and the sponge block 8 is replaced to avoid excessive accumulation of soapy water affecting subsequent test results. Example

[0022] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, a cleaning component is also included, which includes a second spray ring 101 and a second air pipe 102; the second spray ring 101 is fixedly connected to the first spray ring 6; two symmetrically arranged second air pipes 102 are passed through the isolation barrel 2, and the second air pipes 102 are telescopic pipes; all the second air pipes 102 are connected to the second spray ring 101.

[0023] It also includes a detection component, which includes a connecting ring 103 and a blocking ring 104; the telescopic ends of all the multi-stage push rods 5 are commonly connected with the connecting ring 103, and the connecting ring 103 is tightly attached to the first spray ring 6; the blocking ring 104 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 103.

[0024] The nozzles on the second spray ring 101 are arranged to be inclined downward, so as to facilitate cleaning of soapy water on the gearbox.

[0025] The connecting ring 103 is configured to be a ring structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom, and is used to guide soapy water.

[0026] The sealing ring 104 is made of a polyurethane sealing strip and is used to fit the housing of the gearbox.

[0027] The sealing ring 104 is provided in a ring structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom, and is used for filling soapy water.

[0028] In the above-mentioned process of injecting air flow into the gearbox through the first air pipe 4 to detect the air tightness, although the base 1, the isolation barrel 2 and the top cover 3 can isolate the external dust and reduce the contact between dust and soapy water, it is inevitable that a small amount of dust attached to the gearbox will affect the soapy water on the surface of the gearbox to generate bubbles. For tiny leaks, the bubbles generated are small, and the dust interferes with the generation of bubbles, making it even more difficult to observe the leakage there. In addition, soapy water is sprayed on the gearbox casing in a spraying manner. Since the sprayed soapy water contacts with the air in the isolation barrel 2, it is easy to mix with part of the air and adhere to the gearbox casing to directly generate bubbles, which interferes with the judgment of the air tightness detection. At the same time, due to the irregularity of the gearbox casing, the sprayed soapy water is difficult to perfectly cover the connection of the gearbox, resulting in missed detection. Therefore, when the gearbox casing is as follows Figure 3After the gearbox shown is placed in the isolation barrel 2, during the process of the multi-stage push rod 5 pushing the first spray ring 6 upward, the multi-stage push rod 5 simultaneously drives the connecting ring 103 to move upward, and the connecting ring 103 drives the blocking ring 104 to move upward, so that the blocking ring 104 is close to the outer shell of the gearbox. In this process, a downwardly concave groove is formed between the blocking ring 104 and the gearbox housing, and the pressure of the soapy water sprayed is reduced by controlling the first spray ring 6. At the same time, since the first spray ring 6 is in close contact with the connecting ring 103, the soapy water flows along the surface of the connecting ring 103, that is, the soapy water is filled in the concave area to reduce the amount of air driven by the sprayed soapy water to enter the concave area, reduce the generation of bubbles in the soapy water in the concave area, and avoid the generation of a large number of bubbles affecting the judgment of the air tightness detection. At the same time, the soapy water in the concave area can flow naturally and contact various parts of the gearbox housing. Compared with the spraying method, the natural flow method can avoid the splashing of soapy water and prevent the soapy water from splashing on the observation window 2001 to affect the observation. At the same time, the flowing soapy water can better cover the surface of the gearbox housing. , to avoid the problem of missed inspection caused by insufficient soapy water spraying, under the push of the multi-stage push rod 5, the soapy water in the recessed area gradually moves upward, and the staff first observes whether there are bubbles in the soapy water in the recessed area. If there is continuous bubbling in the soapy water in the recessed area, it is judged that there is a suspicion of leakage at this position of the gearbox. Since the structure of the gearbox housing is irregular and is not a smooth and complete cylinder, that is, the blocking ring 104 cannot always keep in contact with the gearbox housing, the soapy water will flow downward from the gap between the blocking ring 104 and the gearbox housing, that is, there is water leakage in the recessed area. Bubbles may also be generated due to water leakage. Therefore, on the one hand, the first spray ring 6 is required to continuously replenish soapy water. On the other hand, the soapy water in the recessed area continues to move upward with the push of the multi-stage push rod 5. After the recessed area passes the suspected leakage point, the surface of the suspected leakage point is covered with soapy water. Observe again whether there are bubbles at the suspected leakage point. If no bubbles are generated, the bubbles generated in the soapy water in the recessed part of the suspected leakage point are caused by water leakage. If bubbles are generated, it is judged that there is leakage at this place.

[0029] At the same time, the staff uses an external suction pump to connect with the second connecting pipe 10, and then controls the external suction pump to operate to suck the soapy water absorbed on the sponge block 8, and transports the sucked soapy water back to the location where the soapy water is stored. In this process, the dust mixed in the soapy water is intercepted by the sponge block 8, so as to avoid the soapy water after the return flow from being contaminated and affecting the subsequent detection work. After long-term use, the staff can remove the connecting plate 9 from the base 1, and at the same time drive the sponge block 8 and the second connecting pipe 10 to be removed from the base 1, and remove the sponge block 8 from the connecting plate 9, and replace the sponge block 8.

[0030] After completing the test, in the process of taking out the gearbox, first use the external gas injection equipment to connect with the second gas pipe 102, then control the external gas injection equipment to input warm gas into the second gas pipe 102, and then the airflow enters the second spray ring 101 through the second gas pipe 102, and then is sprayed out through the second spray ring 101. Since the nozzle on the second spray ring 101 is tilted downward, the sprayed airflow is a warm high-speed airflow. In conjunction with the rise and fall of the second spray ring 101, the soapy water remaining on the gearbox casing is blown off, and some of the remaining soapy water is dried by the warm gas, thereby reducing the amount of soapy water remaining on the gearbox, facilitating the subsequent transfer of the gearbox, and avoiding a large amount of soapy water dripping from the surface of the gearbox to the ground, causing the ground to be wet and affecting the cleanliness of the working environment. Example

[0031] Based on the above embodiment 2, Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, it also includes an electric push rod 201, a limit cover 202 and a rubber membrane 203; two symmetrically arranged electric push rods 201 are inserted on the top cover 3; the telescopic ends of all the electric push rods 201 are fixedly connected to the limit cover 202, and a blocking block 20201 is arranged on the limit cover 202; four annular array rubber membranes 203 are inserted on the limit cover 202.

[0032] When air flow is injected into the gearbox through the first air supply pipe 4, the electric push rod 201 is controlled to push the limit cover 202, and the limit cover 202 drives the blocking block 20201 to move downward to fit the gearbox. It should be noted that in the prior art, a reserved through-hole method is adopted, but there will also be leakage problems here, that is, the reserved through-hole position is covered by the limit cover 202, and it is judged by the rubber membrane 203 that when the rubber membrane 203 expands outward, it is judged that the through-hole reserved for the gearbox has a leakage problem. When a problem occurs, the staff is required to re-connect the first air supply pipe 4 with the through-hole reserved for the gearbox, or reassemble the gearbox for subsequent testing.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
