Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an oil tank anti-leakage testing machine. Background Art
[0002] The fuel tank is a container for fuel on a vehicle and a special container for storing hydraulic oil or hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic system. The fuel tank can be divided into two types: open tank and closed tank. The fuel tank must have a large enough volume. The oil suction pipe and the oil return pipe should be inserted below the minimum liquid level to prevent air bubbles from being generated by vacuum suction and oil return splashing. The distance between the oil suction pipe and the oil return pipe should be as far as possible, and a partition should be set between them. In order to keep the oil clean, the fuel tank should have a peripheral sealed cover. After long-term use, the fuel tank and the fuel tank manufacturer, in order to ensure the sealing of the fuel tank, need to conduct a full leakage inspection of the fuel tank.
[0003] At present, most production enterprises basically rely on manual methods to put the tested oil tank into a container filled with water for testing. Manual labor is required to complete the high-intensity action of holding the oil tank and pressing it into the water for testing, which is labor-intensive. In addition, the speed of manually pressing the oil tank for oil leakage testing is slow and the detection efficiency is low. A small number of production enterprises use testing machines for sealing tests, but there are still some problems.
[0004] Traditional fuel tank leak testing machines are not suitable for sealing fuel tank openings in different locations, nor can they limit and fix fuel tanks of different models, causing the fuel tank to easily slide and fall when sinking into or rising from the water tank. They have low safety, low overall applicability, and are time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low testing efficiency. Summary of the invention
