DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] Combine the following Figure 1-9 This embodiment is described in detail.

[0044] A odor-isolating filter element test fixture, comprising:

[0045] The first cover body 104 and the second cover body 105, one end of the first cover body 104 is sealed at the side where the inlet end of the odor-isolating filter element 110 is located, and a first chamber 102 communicating with the internal channel of the odor-isolating filter element 110 is formed therein; one end of the second cover body 105 is sealed at the side where the outlet end of the odor-isolating filter element 110 is located, and a second chamber 103 communicating with the internal channel of the odor-isolating filter element 110 is formed therein;

[0046] The smoke generating module 30 is disposed in the second chamber 103, or the smoke outlet end of the smoke generating module 30 is connected to the second chamber 103;

[0047] The pressurizing module 40 has an outlet port connected to the second chamber 103; and

[0048] The air pressure detection module includes a container 501 containing liquid and having a scale and an air outlet pipe 502. The liquid is usually water. The air inlet end of the air outlet pipe 502 is connected to the second chamber 103. The air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502 is inserted into the liquid, and the distance between the current air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502 and the liquid surface is observed through the scale. The greater the distance between the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502 and the liquid surface, the greater the pressure at the outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502. Therefore, by controlling the distance between the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502 and the liquid surface, the test pressure in the second chamber 103 is adjusted.

[0049] When in use, the pressure in the second chamber 103 is increased to the test pressure through the pressurizing module 40, and whether the pressure in the second chamber 103 meets the requirement is judged by observing whether bubbles appear at the outlet end of the outlet pipe 502. At the same time, whether the sealing performance of the odor-isolating filter element 110 meets the requirement can be judged by observing whether smoke appears in the first chamber 102. The entire test process does not require complicated electronic control and detection instruments, the configuration cost is low, and the scope of application is wide.

[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 8As shown, it includes a test cavity 10, and a partition 101 is provided in the test cavity 10. The partition 101 divides the test cavity 10 into a first chamber 102 and a second chamber 103. The part of the test cavity 10 located in the first cavity constitutes a first cover body 104, and the part of the test cavity 10 located in the second cavity constitutes a second cover body 105. The partition 101 is provided with a filter element installation position, and the odor-isolating filter element 110 is sealed and adapted to the filter element installation position. Furthermore, the filter element installation position includes a connecting hole 201 connecting the first chamber 102 and the second chamber 103, and also includes a fixing ring 202 arranged on the partition 101 in the first chamber 102, the internal space of the fixing ring 202 is connected to the connecting hole 201, and the radial dimension of the fixing ring 202 is larger than the radial dimension of the connecting hole 201, so that the step difference between the fixing ring 202 and the connecting hole 201 constitutes a limiting surface. Therefore, as Figure 5 As shown, when installing the odor-isolating filter element 110 to be tested, the odor-isolating filter element 110 to be tested is passed through the connecting hole 201 and is sealed and adapted to the fixing ring 202, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the odor-isolating filter element 110 and further improving the test efficiency.

[0051] In this embodiment, the smoke generating module 30 generates smoke by self-combustion, such as cigarettes, wood blocks, etc., so a bracket 100 for fixing the smoke generating module 30 is provided in the second chamber 103. In order to facilitate observation of the flow trend of the smoke, the color of the smoke is usually a color that is more recognizable, such as red, blue, etc. In other embodiments, the smoke generating module 30 can be a smoke generator, and the outlet end of the smoke generator is connected to the second chamber 103.

[0052] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the second cover body 105 is provided with an air hole 601 connected to the second chamber 103, and the air hole 601 is provided with a detachable sealing plug 602. The air hole 601 can provide sufficient oxygen for the combustion of the smoke generating module 30 to prevent the smoke generating module 30 from being extinguished prematurely. When sufficient smoke is generated, the sealing plug 602 is sealed and adapted to the air hole 601 to prevent smoke leakage.

[0053] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the other end of the first cover body 104 is provided with a sealed upper cover 801, the other end of the second cover body 105 is provided with a sealed lower cover 802, and the lower cover 802 is provided with a bracket 100. Specifically, the portion of the upper cover 801 adapted to the other end of the first cover body 104 is provided with an upper sealing ring 901, the portion of the lower cover 802 adapted to the other end of the second cover body 105 is provided with a lower sealing ring 902, and the bracket 100 is provided on the lower cover 802, so as to facilitate the smoke generating module 30 to be placed in the second chamber 103 through the lower cover 802.

[0054] In this embodiment, a movable fixing frame 503 is provided outside the air outlet pipe 502. By moving the position of the fixing frame 503, the length of the air outlet pipe 502 extending out is adjusted. At the same time, the fixing frame 503 is overlapped at the bottle mouth of the container 501 to ensure that the distance between the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502 and the liquid surface remains unchanged. Further, the distance between the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502 and the liquid surface can be adjusted according to relevant test standards, that is, according to the standard sealing water seal depth requirement, it needs to be greater than or equal to 50mm high water seal, so the pressure in the second chamber 103 can be the same as the pressure at a water depth of 50mm, that is, the distance between the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502 and the liquid surface is 50mm.

[0055] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the second cover body 105 is provided with a pressurization installation position 701. The pressurization module 40 usually adopts an air pump, and the pressurization installation position 701 is a mounting hole adapted to the air pump. At the same time, the second cover body 105 is provided with an air inlet hole 702 connected to the mounting hole, and the air pump supplements the pressure to the second chamber 103 through the air inlet hole 702.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first cover body 104 and the second cover body 105 are made of transparent materials, which is convenient for the tester to observe whether the first cover body 104 is full of smoke and whether there is smoke in the second cover body 105 .

[0057] Implementation II

[0058] This embodiment also provides a method for using the odor-isolating filter element testing fixture as described above, including the following steps:

[0059] S1. Sealing inspection: The first cover 104 and the second cover 105 are respectively sealed and placed on the inlet and outlet ends of the odor-isolating filter element 110 to be tested, and the distance between the outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502 and the liquid surface corresponds to the pressure required for the test in the second chamber 103; the pressurizing module 40 is started to observe whether there are bubbles coming out of the outlet end of the air outlet pipe 502;

[0060] If yes, the air pressure in the second chamber 103 meets the test air pressure requirement and the air tightness is good;

[0061] If not, the airtightness of the second chamber 103 is not good, and the first cover 104 and the second cover 105 are re-adjusted to the inlet and outlet ends of the odor-isolating filter element 110 to be tested, and the above steps are repeated until bubbles are observed;

[0062] S2, smoke production: start the smoke generating module 30 until the second chamber 103 is filled with smoke;

[0063] S3, sealing test: start the pressurizing module 40 to pressurize the second chamber 103 until bubbles begin to appear at the outlet end of the outlet pipe 502;

[0064] S4. Observe the test results: if smoke is observed in the first chamber 102, the sealing performance of the odor-isolating filter element 110 to be tested is unqualified; if smoke is not observed in the first chamber 102, the sealing performance of the odor-isolating filter element 110 to be tested is qualified.

[0065] In step S1 of this embodiment, the odor-isolating filter element 110 to be tested is installed in the filter element installation position, so that the odor-isolating filter element 110 is sealed and adapted to the fixing ring 202, ensuring that the odor-isolating filter element 110 is sealed and adapted to the filter element installation position, so that smoke can only flow from the second chamber 103 to the second chamber 103 through the internal channel of the odor-isolating filter element 110.

[0066] During the sealing test, a counterweight can be added to the outside of the upper cover 801 to improve the sealing between the upper cover 801 and the first cover body 104 and between the lower cover 802 and the second cover body 105. At the same time, during the test, under the premise that bubbles emerge from the outlet end of the outlet pipe 502, slight air leakage is allowed in other parts.

[0067] In step S2 of the present embodiment, before the smoke generating module 30 generates sufficient smoke in the second chamber 103 through its own combustion, the sealing plug 602 is separated from the air vent 601 to ensure that sufficient oxygen enters the second chamber 103 so that the smoke generating module 30 will not be extinguished prematurely. When sufficient smoke is generated, the sealing plug 602 is sealed and adapted to the air vent 601 to prevent smoke leakage.

[0068] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
