Under the limitation of the slide bar 141, the linear bearing 142, together with the floating joint 145 and the limiting plate 143, is driven by the push rod end of the pressing cylinder 14 to be pressed down toward the support plate 133 for movement, until the limiting plate 143 and the supporting plate 133 are pressed against each other to firmly limit the fixture structure 13 together with the product to be tested on the cavity 12, thereby effectively improving the convenience and safety of use; then, under the limitation of the shell 213 of the box structure 21 of the air pressure regulator 2, the test solenoid valve 239 of the air path control valve island structure 23 is sealed and connected with the cavity of the product to be tested through a pipeline;Then, according to the demand, the lighted button 215 is pressed to transmit the test working signal to the integrated circuit chip 231, and the integrated circuit chip 231 starts the touch screen 214, the valve island 232, the sensor solenoid valve 236, the pressure sensor 237, the exhaust solenoid valve 238, the test solenoid valve 239, the vacuum solenoid valve 240, the vacuum generator solenoid valve 241, the volume solenoid valve 242, the intake solenoid valve 243, and the vacuum generator 22 to work. Then, according to the demand, the predetermined detection mode is selected by controlling the touch screen 214 to perform air tightness detection on the product to be tested. That is, when the direct detection test mode is adopted, the direct detection test mode is selected by controlling the touch screen 214, and after the intake air is adjusted to an appropriate intake pressure through the pressure regulating valve 234, a predetermined volume of external gas source is sequentially introduced through the corresponding cavities of the intake port 235, the gas storage tank 233, the intake solenoid valve 243, and the valve island 232. , the test solenoid valve 239 is directly filled into the cavity of the product to be tested, and then the cavity of the product to be tested is allowed to perform silent pressure stabilization within a predetermined time. During the pressure stabilization stage, the sensor solenoid valve 236 is maintained in an open state. At this time, the gas in the cavity of the product to be tested enters the pressure sensor 237, and the pressure sensor 237 monitors the pressure information before and after the pressure stabilization in real time and transmits it to the integrated circuit chip 231 for data processing, thereby obtaining the pressure deviation value before and after the pressure stabilization, that is, the leakage value, and transmitting it to the touch screen 214 for synchronous display so that the test personnel can accurately determine the airtightness result of the product to be tested. After the test is completed, the integrated circuit chip 231 starts the exhaust solenoid valve 238 to discharge the gas in the cavity of the product to be tested to the external environment through the corresponding cavity of the valve island 232, the exhaust solenoid valve 238, and the air outlet 244 in turn, and the airtightness test in this mode can be completed;When the volume detection test mode is adopted, the volume detection test mode is selected by operating the touch screen 214. At this time, the integrated circuit chip 231 controls the air intake solenoid valve 243 and the volume solenoid valve 242 to be in the disconnected state. After the air intake is adjusted to an appropriate air intake pressure by the pressure regulating valve 234, the external air source enters the air storage tank 233 through the air inlet 235 in turn to implement volume inflation. After the volume inflation time is over, the integrated circuit chip 231 closes the external inflation solenoid valve to stop the air intake, and opens the air intake solenoid valve 243 and the volume solenoid valve 242 at the same time. The gas in the air storage tank 233 is filled into the cavity of the product to be tested through the air intake solenoid valve 243, the corresponding cavity of the valve island 232, and the test solenoid valve 239 in turn. Then the volume solenoid valve 242 is closed to allow the cavity of the product to be tested to be filled. The gas performs silent pressure stabilization within a predetermined time. During the pressure stabilization stage, the sensor solenoid valve 236 is maintained in an open state. At this time, the gas in the cavity of the product to be tested enters the pressure sensor 237. The pressure sensor 237 monitors the pressure information before and after the pressure stabilization in real time and transmits it to the integrated circuit chip 231 for data processing, thereby obtaining the pressure deviation value before and after the pressure stabilization, that is, the leakage value, and transmitting it to the touch screen 214 for synchronous display so that the test personnel can accurately determine the air tightness result of the product to be tested. After the test is completed, the integrated circuit chip 231 starts the exhaust solenoid valve 238 to discharge the gas in the cavity of the product to be tested to the external environment through the corresponding cavity of the valve island 232, the exhaust solenoid valve 238, and the air outlet 244 in turn, and the air tightness test in this mode can be completed;When the negative pressure detection test mode is adopted, the negative pressure detection test mode is selected by operating the touch screen 214. At this time, the integrated circuit chip 231 controls the air intake solenoid valve 243 and the volume solenoid valve 242 to be in the disconnected state, the vacuum solenoid valve 240 and the vacuum generator solenoid valve 241 to be in the open state, and at the same time, the vacuum generator 22 is started to work, and the gas in the cavity of the product to be tested is successively pumped into the vacuum generator 22 through the test solenoid valve 239, the corresponding cavity of the valve island 232, the vacuum solenoid valve 240, and the vacuum generator solenoid valve 241, so that negative pressure is formed in the cavity of the product to be tested. Then, the vacuum solenoid valve 240 and the vacuum generator solenoid valve 241 are closed by the integrated circuit chip 231, so that the cavity of the product to be tested performs silent pressure stabilization within a predetermined time. During the pressure stabilization stage, the sensor solenoid valve 236 is maintained in the open state. At this time, the cavity of the product to be tested is connected with the pressure sensor 237, and the pressure sensor 237 monitors the pressure information before and after the pressure stabilization in real time and transmits it to the integrated circuit chip 231 for data processing. Thus, the pressure deviation value before and after voltage stabilization, i.e., the leakage value, is obtained and transmitted to the touch screen 214 for synchronous display so that the test personnel can accurately determine the air tightness result of the product to be tested. After the test is completed, the integrated circuit chip 231 starts the exhaust solenoid valve 238 to discharge the gas in the cavity of the product to be tested to the external environment through the corresponding cavity of the valve island 232, the exhaust solenoid valve 238, and the air outlet 244 in sequence, and the air tightness test in this mode can be completed. The above method can replace the water immersion test method to accurately test the air tightness of electronic products to ensure their factory quality, and it is not easy to cause harm to the quality of electronic products; finally, the safety grating 3 collects the information of the external object extending into the cavity 12 in real time and transmits it synchronously to the integrated circuit chip 231 of the gas path control valve island structure 23 for data processing, and then stops the air tightness test of the product to be tested through the integrated circuit chip 231, thereby effectively avoiding the interference of human factors when performing air tightness test on the product to be tested, which affects the test effect and causes harm to the human body. ;

[0039] S3. Start the air circuit control valve island structure 23 as required to perform air tightness test on the product to be tested, i.e., fill the cavity of the product to be tested with a predetermined volume of gas through the air circuit control valve island structure 23, or extract a predetermined volume of gas in the cavity of the product to be tested through the air circuit control valve island structure 23, and then let the cavity of the product to be tested perform silent pressure stabilization for a predetermined time. During the pressure stabilization stage, the pressure information before and after pressure stabilization is monitored in real time through the air circuit control valve island structure 23 and data processing is performed, thereby obtaining the pressure deviation value before and after pressure stabilization, i.e. the leakage detection value, and then accurately determining the air tightness result of the product to be tested.
