[0002] In fields such as industrial production and transportation, the application of air springs is becoming more and more extensive. However, air springs may have defects such as leakage, surface scratches, and dimensional deviations during the manufacturing process.

A gas leakage sensor is provided in the sealed detection box. When there is gas leakage in the air spring, the aging degree and shock resistance of the air spring can be tested.

[0004] The existing air spring defect detection device and detection method have the following disadvantages when used: when performing defect detection on the air spring, due to the lack of an integrated structure for detecting the influence of temperature environment, air leakage and pressure on the air spring, it is impossible to perform multiple tests on the air spring at the same time, which reduces the flexibility of air spring detection. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: the liquid storage assembly includes a liquid storage cylinder, a liquid delivery valve and a control panel, the liquid delivery valve is connected to the surface of the liquid storage cylinder, and the control panel is bolted to the surface of the liquid storage cylinder.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting up a liquid storage component, the liquid storage cylinder can cooperate with the liquid delivery valve and the control panel. By connecting the liquid delivery valve to an external test liquid delivery device, the liquid delivery valve can deliver the test liquid to the liquid storage cylinder, thereby providing an environment for air spring leakage detection, and the control panel can control the test system.

[0024] A method for detecting a defect detection device for an air spring, comprising the following steps:

[0025] S1. Pressure and bubble detection: First, the test liquid is loaded into the liquid storage cylinder through the liquid feeding valve. The air spring to be tested is then placed in the liquid storage cylinder. The arc sliding door is closed, and the detection mechanism is powered on and started. The user then operates the test system through the control panel. The test system controls the test mechanism to compress the air spring. When the air spring is compressed, it presses the sealing plate downward. The sealing plate drives the transmission rod to transmit the pressure to the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor transmits the pressure information to the control panel. The camera then captures an image of the bubbles generated at the defective part of the air spring when it is compressed. The image information can then be transmitted to the control panel. The user can then observe the control panel.

[0026] S2. Apply pressure and monitor temperature: First, power on and start the test mechanism. The hydraulic rod will then drive the closing plate and the sealing ring downward until the closing plate fits into the test mechanism. Pushing the hydraulic rod will drive the contact plate to press the air spring downward. When the temperature in the liquid needs to be changed, the heater will transfer the heat to the thermal ring, and the thermal ring will transfer the heat to the liquid, thereby changing the temperature of the liquid. The thermometer will monitor the temperature and transmit the monitored data to the test system.

[0027] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. By setting up a detection mechanism, the liquid storage component can cooperate with the visual component and the pressure component. The liquid storage component can temporarily store the test liquid and air spring. When the test mechanism applies pressure to the air spring, the visual component can capture images of bubbles generated at the defect, and the pressure component can monitor the pressure of the air spring. This allows the pressure component to cooperate with the visual component. Due to different pressure conditions of the air spring, different bubbles are generated at the defect. The support component can support the test mechanism and protect the activity space of the test mechanism, thereby increasing the flexibility of air spring defect leakage detection.

[0029] 2. By setting up a testing mechanism and a testing system, the conveying component can cooperate with the pushing component to squeeze the air spring, thereby allowing air to leak from the defects of the air spring. The temperature measuring component can change the temperature environment around the air spring, thereby changing the air leakage condition of the defects of the air spring under different temperature environments. The testing system can facilitate the user to control the testing mechanism and the detection mechanism, thereby improving the flexibility of air spring defect detection.
