[0002] Leakage refers to the amount of air that leaks out through the gaps in a product under a certain pressure. Most existing methods for detecting leakage are to compress air into the product and use the soap bubble method to determine whether the product is leaking. When the pressure required for measuring the leakage of a product is high or the leakage itself is high, the existing leakage detection device cannot reach the required pressure, or when it reaches the required pressure, it cannot accurately read the leakage value. There is an urgent need for a leakage detection device that can accurately read the leakage value and measure multiple pressure requirements.

Read the air pressure inside the cabin through the pressure measurement module to determine whether there is air leakage in the cabin; Step 2: Leakage detection: exhaust the pressurized gas in the cabin through the exhaust pipe, then connect the tested product to the exhaust pipe, start the heat exchange cylinder, and deliver pressurized gas to the cabin through the booster fan until the cabin pressure read by the pressure measurement module reaches the test pressure, and maintain the pressure in the cabin.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments: Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] In the figure: 1. Booster fan; 2. First gas flow meter; 3. Pressure measurement module; 4. Cabin; 5. Second gas flow meter; 6. Air supply pipe; 7. Exhaust pipe; 8. Support pipe; 9. Coil; 10. Drain pipe; 11. Heat exchange cylinder. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a pressure-adjustable air leakage detection device, including a sealed cabin 4, a booster fan 1 connected to the cabin 4 through an air supply pipe 6, and an exhaust pipe 7 and a pressure measurement module 3 connected to the sealed cabin 4, the air supply pipe 6 and the exhaust pipe 7 are respectively installed with a first gas flow meter 2 and a second gas flow meter 5, a heat exchange tube 11 is installed in the sealed cabin 4, and a drain pipe 10 is connected to the bottom of the sealed cabin 4.

[0018] The air supply pipe 6 is a metal pipe, and the output end of the booster fan 1 is connected to the air supply pipe 6. The booster fan 1 pressurizes the interior of the cabin 4 through the air supply pipe 6. While pressurizing, the pressure value in the cabin 4 is detected by the pressure measurement module 3. When the pressure value reaches the set pressure value, the booster fan 1 is turned off. The first gas flow meter 2 is used to measure the gas flow from the booster fan 1 to the cabin 4; the second gas flow meter 5 is used to measure the gas flow output from the cabin 4 through the exhaust pipe 7, that is, the gas leakage of the tested product.

[0019] When the air pressure in the cabin 4 is stable, the reading of the first gas flow meter 2 should be equal to the reading of the second gas flow meter 5. If the reading of the first gas flow meter 2 is greater than the reading of the second gas flow meter 5, there is a gas leak in the cabin 4.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A fan is fixedly installed in the heat exchange tube 11, and a thermal diode is arranged at the bottom of the heat exchange tube 11. The heat exchange tube 11 is a sandwich cylinder structure, the heat exchange tube 11 is fixedly installed in the cabin 4, a fan is installed at the inner top of the heat exchange tube 11 to discharge heat, and the thermal diode is installed in the interlayer of the heat exchange tube 11. The thermal diode is used for heat exchange of the coil 9, and cools the air entering the cabin 4, so that the water vapor condenses, and avoids the influence of humid air on the tested product during the test.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to achieve uniform heat exchange, the thermal diodes are distributed at equal angles along the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 11 .

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the output end of the air supply pipe 6 is connected to the coil 9 through the support pipe 8 fixed in the sealed cabin 4, and the coil 9 is spirally wound at the bottom of the heat exchange tube 11, and the bottom end of the coil 9 is arranged downward. The coil 9 is wound at the bottom of the heat exchange tube 11, and the thermal diode is correspondingly installed at the bottom of the heat exchange tube 11, and the top of the heat exchange tube 11 is used to install a fan.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown. The support pipe 8 is arranged obliquely relative to the axis of the heat exchange tube 11, and the distance between the bottom end of the support pipe 8 and the heat exchange tube 11 is greater than the distance between the top end and the heat exchange tube 11. Air enters through the bottom of the support pipe 8 and enters the coil 9 from the top of the support pipe 8. Before entering the coil 9, it is necessary to prevent the water vapor in the air from liquefying to ensure that the air supply pipe 6 is in a dry state, so the gap between the bottom of the support pipe 8 and the heat exchange tube 11 is increased.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to enhance the stability of the supporting pipe 8, a fixing rod is connected between the side wall of the supporting pipe 8 and each section of the coil 9.

[0025] like Figure 1 The bottom end of the coil 9 is arranged toward the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 11, and the bottom end of the coil 9 is located directly above the drain pipe 10. The drain pipe 10 is located outside the heat exchange tube 11, and the top of the drain pipe 10 is connected to the collection tank. The water flowing out of the coil 9 directly enters the collection tank and is discharged through the drain pipe 10 after the test.

[0026] A pressure-adjustable air leakage detection method comprises the following steps: Step 1: Air tightness test: close the exhaust pipe 7, start the booster fan 1 to pressurize the cabin 4, so that the air pressure in the cabin 4 reaches the air pressure used for testing, and stabilize the pressure. Read the air pressure inside the cabin 4 through the pressure measurement module 3 to determine whether there is air leakage in the cabin 4; Step 2: Leakage detection: exhaust the pressurized gas in the cabin 4 through the exhaust pipe 7, then connect the tested product to the exhaust pipe 7, start the heat exchange cylinder 11, and deliver pressurized gas to the cabin 4 through the booster fan 1 until the air pressure in the cabin 4 read by the pressure measurement module 3 reaches the air pressure used for detection, and maintain the pressure in the cabin 4. When the pressure is maintained for the set time, read the reading Q of the first gas flow meter 2 at the same time. n and the reading Q of the second gas flow meter 5 n , recorded as the first set of data; Step three, repeat the measurement, maintain the pressure measurement module 3 at a stable measurement value through the booster fan 1, and record a set of data at regular intervals, record multiple sets of data, calculate the leakage by subtracting the reading of the second gas flow meter 5 from the reading of the first gas flow meter 2, and take the average of the multiple sets of leakage to obtain the average leakage of the product.
