Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the production of automotive superchargers, and specifically to an airtightness detection device for an automotive supercharger assembly. Background Art

[0002] An automotive supercharger is a device that enhances the engine's power output by increasing the engine's intake air volume. It uses the exhaust gas discharged from the engine to drive a turbine, thereby compressing fresh air into the engine cylinder to improve the combustion efficiency and power output. Among them, the turbocharger housing (as Figure 9 shown) is one of the important components of the automotive supercharger assembly, mainly used to protect the core components of the turbocharger and guide the flow of exhaust gas and intake air. Therefore, in order to stably deliver the compressed air into the engine, it is necessary to perform airtightness detection on the turbocharger housing during the production process to ensure that the turbocharger housing has good sealing performance, maintain the stability of the engine intake pressure, and improve the combustion efficiency and working performance of the engine.

[0003] Currently, there are the following disadvantages when performing airtightness detection on the turbocharger housing: 1. When performing airtightness detection, the housing needs to be first placed in a sealing fixture, then a specific pressure is applied to the inside of the housing, and a detector is used to monitor the pressure change inside the housing to determine whether the sealing performance of the housing is qualified. However, in the above operation, when sealing and clamping the housing, the three fixtures for blocking the air outlet and the holes on both sides of the housing are independent of each other. Therefore, it is easy to cause inconsistent clamping forces of the fixtures, resulting in a small gap between the fixture and the housing, thereby increasing the leakage risk and affecting the accuracy of the detection results. At the same time, using multiple independent fixtures will increase the operation steps and prolong the detection time; 2. When performing airtightness detection, when blocking the holes on both sides of the housing, usually only rubber materials are used to seal them. These rubber materials lack fixed support points. Therefore, during high-pressure testing, the rubber materials are prone to deformation or displacement under pressure, and may be pressed into the holes or detached from the hole edges. The unstable seal will cause micro-air pressure leakage, thereby affecting the accuracy of the detection. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. For this airtightness detection device for automotive supercharger components, through the combined use of the alignment mechanism, the support mechanism and the sealing mechanism, an integrated operation model of alignment, external support and internal sealing is adopted to complete the airtightness detection of the turbocharger housing, realizing high-precision alignment of the seal and the housing. Before pressurization, triangular connection is used for overall locking, and the sealing plate is fixed again from the inside. At the same time, the rubber bump is tightly fitted with the housing by internal expansion extrusion, thereby greatly improving the rigidity and stability of the entire sealing system, ensuring uniform force on the seal and reasonable pressure distribution, effectively reducing the risk of stress concentration and gas leakage, and thus improving the reliability, efficiency of the detection process and the accuracy of the test results.

[0018] 2. For this airtightness detection device for automotive supercharger components, through the combined use of the alignment mechanism and the support mechanism, before pressurizing the inside of the turbocharger housing, the sealing plates on the left and right sides of the housing and the support frame at the upper end are locked by triangular connection, so that the external seals are formed into a whole during the detection process, thereby improving the rigidity and stability of the entire sealing system. At the same time, the overall locking can better resist the internal pressure under high-pressure conditions, avoid gas leakage, and ensure uniform distribution of the sealing pressure.

[0019] 3. For this airtightness detection device for automotive supercharger components, through the combined use of the support mechanism and the sealing mechanism, before pressurization, the sealing plates on the left and right sides are locked again from the inside of the turbocharger housing, making the contact between the sealing plate and the housing closer, reducing the tiny gap to improve the airtightness, and improving the reliability of the test data. At the same time, the internal locking can evenly disperse the force generated by the internal pressure, reduce the stress concentration at the edge of the sealing plate, avoid seal failure caused by excessive local force, and ensure more reliable sealing performance throughout the detection process.

[0020] 4. The airtightness detection device for the automotive supercharger assembly, through the set sealing mechanism, during the alignment process, the inner expansion extrudes the rubber bump outwards, making the rubber bump fit tightly with the inner surface of the turbocharger housing. The inner expansion provides a fixed support point for the rubber bump, enabling it to form a stable sealing state. In this way, during high-pressure or long-term tests, the rubber bump can still maintain stable sealing performance, thereby further improving the accuracy of the test results. Moreover, the inner expansion can ensure that the rubber bump is evenly stressed, thus optimizing the contact pressure distribution between the seal and the housing and preventing the seal from being damaged or failing.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 where a supporting mechanism 5 is provided on the alignment mechanism 4 for cooperation therewith; the supporting mechanism 5 includes an inclined connecting portion 51 provided on the air inlet portion 41 and used for obliquely supporting the air inlet portion 41 and the side-facing portion 42, a transverse connecting portion 52 provided on the side-facing portion 42 and used for transversely supporting the side-facing portion 42, a locking portion 53 provided on the support column 3 and used for locking the inclined connecting portion 51 and the transverse connecting portion 52, and the supporting mechanism 5 ensures the sealed connection of the actuator 61 and the air inlet portion 41 to the housing through triangular locking.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 where the air inlet portion 41 includes a cylinder 411, a first slide rail 412, a support frame 413, and an air inlet pipe 414. The front end face of the support column 3 is fixedly installed with a cylinder 411 through a set support plate, and the front end face of the support column 3 is fixedly installed with a first slide rail 412 located below the support plate. A support frame 413 is slidably installed on the front end face of the first slide rail 412.

The upper horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 411, and an air inlet pipe 414 is fixedly installed through the lower horizontal plate.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 where the side-facing portion 42 includes a second slide rail 421, a bidirectional screw 422, and a support arm 423. The front end face of the support column 3 is fixedly installed with a second slide rail 421 located below the first slide rail 412.

The symmetrically arranged support arms 423 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the limit seat 2.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 where the actuator 61 includes a sealing plate 611, a rubber bump 612, an alignment cylinder 613, an alignment insertion cylinder 614, and a gas pressure gauge 615. Sealing plates 611 are fixedly installed on the mutually approaching side walls of the front ends of the support arms 423. Rubber bumps 612 are fixedly installed on the mutually approaching side walls of the sealing plates 611. An alignment cylinder 613 is fixedly installed at the center of the right end face of the sealing plate 611 on the left side. An alignment insertion cylinder 614 located inside the alignment cylinder 613 is fixedly installed at the center of the left end face of the sealing plate 611 on the right side. The alignment cylinder 613 is slidably connected to the alignment insertion cylinder 614. A gas pressure gauge 615 is fixedly installed on the support arm 423 on the left side.

[0038] During specific operation, when it is necessary to perform an airtightness test on the turbocharger housing, place the turbocharger housing on the limit seat 2 to limit the housing. Then start the cylinder 411 to lower the support frame 413 with it, and the first slide rail 412 restricts its sliding direction. When the lower cross plate at the lower end of the support frame 413 contacts the upper end of the housing, fix the upper end of the housing through a fixing mechanism (not shown in the figure, an existing electric clamp can be selected) provided at the lower end of the lower cross plate. After the fixing is completed, the lower end of the air inlet pipe 414 extends into the housing.

[0039] Subsequently, start the external motor fixedly installed on the second slide rail 421 to drive the bidirectional screw 422 to rotate, so that the support arms 423 on both sides approach the left and right sides of the housing synchronously. When the sealing plates 611 on both sides are in contact with the left and right sides of the housing, the external motor can be stopped. At this time, the rubber bumps 612 on the sealing plates 611 are just inside the housing.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in FIGS. and, the inclined connecting part 51 includes a first sleeve 511, a first sliding rod 512 and a locking hole 513. The first sleeves 511 hinged through support seats are symmetrically arranged on the left and right of the lower cross plate on the support frame 413. The upper end surfaces of the support arms 423 are hinged through support seats with first sliding rods 512 located in the corresponding first sleeves 511. The first sliding rods 512 are slidably connected to the corresponding first sleeves 511. A first spring is fixedly installed between the first sleeves 511 and the support seats on the corresponding first sliding rods 512. Two locking holes 513 are commonly formed through the first sliding rods 512 and the corresponding first sleeves 511 and are distributed up and down.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in FIGS. and, the horizontal connecting part 52 includes a second sleeve 521 and a second sliding rod 522. The right end surface of the left support arm 423 is fixedly installed with a second sleeve 521 located between the base 1 and the limit seat 2. The left end surface of the right support arm 423 is fixedly installed with a second sliding rod 522 located in the second sleeve 521. The second sliding rod 522 is slidably connected to the second sleeve 521. Two locking holes 513 are also commonly formed through the second sleeve 521 and the second sliding rod 522 and are distributed left and right.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3, the locking part 53 includes a first electric push rod 531, a connecting cross plate 532, a triangular plate 533, a T-shaped frame 534 and a locking rod 535. The rear end face of the support column 3 is fixedly installed with a first electric push rod 531 through a C-shaped bracket provided. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 531 is fixedly installed with a connecting cross plate 532 located behind the support column 3. The front end face of the connecting cross plate 532 is fixedly installed with a triangular plate 533 located in front of the support column 3 through a support rod provided. The front end face of the triangular plate 533 is fixedly installed with a T-shaped frame 534 at its diagonal corner. The front end face of the T-shaped frame 534 is fixedly installed with a locking rod 535 corresponding to the lock holes 513 one by one.

[0043] During specific operation, during the process of the sealing plates 611 on both sides fitting with the left and right sides of the housing, the supporting arms 423 on both sides approach synchronously, and the distance between the supporting arms 423 and the support frame 413 also gradually decreases, so that the first sliding rod 512 continuously extends into the corresponding first sleeve 511. When the supporting arms 423 stop moving, the two lock holes 513 jointly opened on the first sleeve 511 and the first sliding rod 512 are just aligned. At the same time, the supporting arms 423 on both sides approach synchronously, causing the second sliding rod 522 to extend into the second sleeve 521, and when the supporting arms 423 stop moving, the two lock holes 513 jointly opened on the second sleeve 521 and the second sliding rod 522 are also just aligned.

[0044] Subsequently, start the first electric push rod 531 to push the connecting cross plate 532 forward, so that the locking rod 535 is inserted into the corresponding lock hole 513 through the triangular plate 533 and the T-shaped frame 534, thereby locking the first sleeve 511 and the first sliding rod 512, and locking the second sleeve 521 and the second sliding rod 522. At this time, the first sleeves 511 on both sides and the second sleeve 521 below form a triangular connection structure. In this way, before pressurizing the inside of the turbocharger housing, the triangular connection is used to lock the sealing plates 611 on the left and right sides of the housing and the support frame 413 at the upper end, so as to form an integral external seal during the detection process, thereby improving the rigidity and stability of the entire sealing system and ensuring the uniform distribution of the sealing pressure.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6, the limiting part 62 includes a limiting rod 621, a ejector rod 622 and a second electric push rod 623. A plurality of limiting holes are penetrated through the outer wall of the outer ring of the alignment insertion cylinder 614 in a circumferential array manner. A mating hole corresponding to the limiting hole one by one is penetrated through the outer wall of the outer ring of the alignment cylinder 613. The limiting rod 621 is slidably installed in the limiting hole. Both ends of the limiting rod 621 are rounded. A second spring is fixedly installed between the limiting rod 621 and the limiting hole. An ejector rod 622 is slidably installed in the alignment insertion cylinder 614. The ejector rod 622 is composed of a cone at the left end and a cylinder at the right end. A second electric push rod 623 is fixedly installed in the sealing plate 611 on the right side. The telescopic end of the second electric push rod 623 is fixedly connected to the ejector rod 622.

[0046] During specific operation, during the process of the sealing plates 611 on both sides fitting with the left and right sides of the housing, the alignment insertion cylinder 614 will gradually insert into the alignment cylinder 613. When the sealing plates 611 on both sides fit with the housing, the limiting holes on the alignment insertion cylinder 614 will be aligned with the mating holes. Subsequently, the second electric push rod 623 is started to push the ejector rod 622 to the left by its telescopic end. The cone at the left end of the ejector rod 622 will extrude the limiting rod 621 outwards, so that the limiting rod 621 compresses the second spring and passes through the limiting hole and inserts into the mating hole, thereby locking the alignment insertion cylinder 614 and the alignment cylinder 613, and thus locking the sealing plates 611 on both sides again from the inside of the turbocharger housing, making the sealing plates 611 contact the housing more tightly, reducing the tiny gap and improving the airtightness.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the expansion sealing part 63 includes a slip ring 631, a first connecting rod 632 and an arc-shaped abutting block 633. The slip ring 631 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the outer ring of the alignment insertion cylinder 614. A third spring sleeved on the alignment insertion cylinder 614 is fixedly installed between the slip ring 631 and the corresponding sealing plate 611. A plurality of first connecting rods 632 are hinged to the outer wall of the slip ring 631 in a circumferential array manner through the provided torsion spring rods. The arc-shaped abutting block 633 that fits with the corresponding rubber bump 612 is fixedly installed at the end of the first connecting rod 632 away from the slip ring 631.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the matching part 64 includes a circular sliding plate 641, a groove 642 and a second connecting rod 643. The circular sliding plate 641 is slidably installed in the alignment cylinder 613. A fourth spring is fixedly installed between the circular sliding plate 641 and the corresponding sealing plate 611. A plurality of grooves 642 are penetrated through the outer wall of the outer ring of the alignment cylinder 613 in a circumferential array manner. The second connecting rods 643 corresponding to the grooves 642 are hinged to the outer wall of the circular sliding plate 641 through the provided torsion spring rods. The arc-shaped abutting block 633 that fits with the corresponding rubber bump 612 is also fixedly installed at the end of the second connecting rod 643 away from the circular sliding plate 641.

[0049] During specific operation, when the sealing plates 611 on both sides are being attached to the left and right sides of the housing, the right end of the alignment cylinder 613 will push the slip ring 631 to the right, causing the slip ring 631 to compress the third spring to the right. The distance between the slip ring 631 and the right sealing plate 611 decreases. At this time, the first connecting rod 632 will expand outward through the arc-shaped abutting block 633 and push the corresponding rubber bump 612, so that the rubber bump 612 on the right side is closely attached to the inner surface of the housing.

[0050] Meanwhile, the left end of the alignment insertion cylinder 614 pushes the circular slide plate 641 to the left to compress the fourth spring. The distance between the circular slide plate 641 and the sealing plate 611 decreases, causing the second connecting rod 643 to expand outward through the arc-shaped abutting block 633 and push the corresponding rubber bump 612, so that the rubber bump 612 on the left side is closely attached to the inner surface of the housing. In this way, during the alignment process, the rubber bump 612 is extruded outward through internal expansion, making the rubber bump 612 closely attached to the inner surface of the turbocharger housing, providing a fixed support point for the rubber bump 612 to form a stable sealing state. In this way, during high-pressure or long-term tests, the rubber bump 612 can still maintain stable sealing performance.

[0051] Subsequently, start the external air pump to supply air to the inside of the turbocharger housing through the air inlet pipe 414 to increase the air pressure inside the turbocharger housing. When the injected air pressure reaches a certain value, stop the operation of the external air pump and wait for a certain period of time to observe the change in the value on the gas pressure gauge 615 to determine whether the sealing performance of the housing is qualified.

[0052] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
