Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle door air tightness detection, and in particular to a testing device and a testing method for detecting the air tightness of a vehicle door. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the rapid development of the automotive industry and technological progress have led to the gradual popularization of safety configurations, especially the improvement of passive safety systems, which has significantly improved the safety performance of vehicles. Among them, the "side pole impact" test has become an important part of the CNCAP evaluation. In order to meet higher safety standards, major OEMs have focused on improving the passive safety of vehicles during the design stage, especially in terms of the rapid response of side airbags and air curtains, and have put forward higher requirements on the air tightness of vehicle doors.

[0003] At present, there are two main methods for testing the air tightness of vehicle doors: one is to verify the air tightness and pressure changes of vehicle doors through actual collision tests; the other is to use traditional air pressure testing equipment, such as air pumps, to perform inflation tests on the door cavity. In actual collision tests, although this method can accurately reflect the air tightness of vehicle doors under real collision conditions, it is not only costly, but also needs to be carried out in the later stages of vehicle development. Once a problem is found, there is limited room for adjustment, and traditional air pressure testing equipment is difficult to provide sufficient air pressure to simulate the instantaneous pressure changes during a collision, resulting in inaccurate and unreliable test results.

[0004] However, both methods have obvious shortcomings. First, the actual collision test is extremely expensive and can only be carried out in the later stages of vehicle development, which is not conducive to early detection and resolution of problems. Second, traditional air pressure testing equipment cannot provide sufficient air pressure to simulate real collision scenarios, especially when large pressure changes occur in a short period of time, which makes the test results often unable to accurately reflect the actual situation. In addition, the operation of these devices is complicated and requires professional personnel to operate, which increases the difficulty and uncertainty of the test. Therefore, how to achieve accurate testing of door air tightness at low cost and high efficiency is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a test method and an experimental device for detecting the air tightness of a vehicle door, which can achieve accurate testing of the air tightness of a vehicle door at a low cost and high efficiency.

[0006] This application is implemented through the following technical solutions: A test device for detecting the air tightness of a vehicle door, comprising an airbag, a catheter, a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor; the airbag is used to be placed in a door body cavity to be detected, and forms an air pressure shock in the door body cavity to be detected by its own explosion; the airbag is detachably connected to the catheter; the catheter provides an air guide channel for the airbag, and the catheter is provided with a detonation mechanism for causing the airbag to burst; the first pressure sensor is built into the airbag cavity, and is used to sense pressure changes in the airbag cavity; the second pressure sensor is arranged on the outside of the airbag, and is placed in the door body cavity to be detected, so as to detect pressure changes in the door body cavity to be detected; the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor are both connected to a pressure collector through wires; the pressure collector is used to analyze the sensing values ​​of the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the door air tightness test can be completed simply and efficiently under a conventional test environment. The airbag in the device is the only consumable part and can be made of balloons commonly found in daily life. Compared with professional airbags or other high-cost high-pressure equipment, it is inexpensive and easy to purchase. In addition, the detection using this device does not require special equipment and complicated operations, and can quickly generate a pressure change curve to accurately evaluate the sealing performance of the door. It is particularly suitable for OEMs to optimize and verify the door design in the early stages of vehicle development, effectively reducing test costs and experimental difficulty, and improving R&D efficiency.

[0008] Optionally, the catheter is made of a flexible material, and a hard fixing ring is provided at the front end of the catheter; the airbag is sleeved on the fixing ring.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the catheter is made of flexible material and can adapt to door cavities of different shapes and sizes, ensuring the flexible placement and adjustment of the airbag in the cavity. A hard fixing ring is provided at the front end, which not only facilitates the stable installation of the airbag, but also ensures the sealing and stability of the airbag during the inflation process, preventing the airbag from accidentally falling off or shifting. This design makes the test device more reliable and practical, and improves the accuracy and repeatability of the test results.

[0010] Optionally, the detonation mechanism is a puncture strip placed in the catheter tube.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the puncture strip can be made of steel wire, copper wire or strip-shaped plastic products. By pushing the puncture strip to puncture the airbag, it is ensured that the airbag is reliably detonated when the predetermined pressure value is reached, thereby generating an instantaneous air pressure change; this design not only simplifies the detonation mechanism and reduces the manufacturing cost, but also improves the overall reliability of the test device; using the puncture strip as the detonation mechanism, its length and hardness can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different types of catheters and airbags, thereby enhancing the versatility and scope of application of the device. In addition, the introduction of the puncture strip makes the detonation process more controllable, reduces the risk of accidental damage, and ensures the accuracy and consistency of the test data.

[0012] Optionally, the detonation mechanism includes a tube body and a magnetic device, a slider is slidably connected in the tube cavity of the tube body, the upper part of the slider is provided with a needle, and the lower part is provided with a permanent magnet; the magnetic device includes an excitation core and a winding wound on the excitation core; the excitation core is fixed in the tube cavity, the slider is fixed to the excitation core by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet, and after the winding is energized, the magnetic force generated by the excitation core drives the slider to move along the tube cavity toward one end away from the magnetic device.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the detonation mechanism uses magnetic force to drive the slider to move, so that the needle quickly pierces the airbag, generating an instantaneous change in air pressure, and can achieve accurate measurement of the air tightness of the door. Specifically, the magnetic field generated by the energization of the winding drives the slider to move, ensuring that the needle accurately penetrates the airbag, thereby improving the reliability and repeatability of the test; the slider moves rapidly along the lumen under the action of the magnetic force, and the needle pierces the airbag almost instantly, achieving the purpose of quickly releasing the air pressure, simulating the situation of the airbag rupture during an actual collision; the entire process does not require human intervention, reducing the influence of human factors, and ensuring the safety and efficiency of the test; because the detonation mechanism moves very quickly and controllably, the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor can synchronously capture the pressure changes inside and outside the airbag, thereby providing more accurate air tightness evaluation data. In summary, the detonation mechanism not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the test, but also greatly simplifies the operation process and reduces the test cost.

[0014] Further optionally, a mounting groove is provided at the lower end of the sliding block, the permanent magnet is fixed in the mounting groove, and an elastic pad is provided at the lower end of the tube body.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a mounting groove is set at the lower end of the slider to fix the permanent magnet, ensuring that the permanent magnet is stable and reliable to prevent it from falling off during use. At the same time, an elastic pad is added at the lower end of the tube body to effectively buffer the impact force during the movement of the slider, extend the service life of the device, and ensure that the slider maintains a stable position when not triggered, thereby improving the reliability of the detonation mechanism.

[0016] Further optionally, the magnetic device is electrically connected to a pressure collector, and a control unit built into the pressure collector starts the magnetic device to drive the needle to move when the sensing value of the first pressure sensor read reaches a preset value.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the detonation mechanism can be automatically triggered when the pressure in the airbag reaches the preset value, ensuring that the airbag bursts at the best time, thereby generating a stable air pressure shock. This automated control not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the test, but also simplifies the operation process and reduces the errors caused by human intervention.

[0018] Optionally, the fixing ring is provided with a clamping mechanism for fixing the airbag, the clamping mechanism includes a conical sleeve fixed on the fixing ring and a locking sleeve slidably connected to the fixing ring, the inner wall of the locking sleeve is provided with a locking ring adapted to the conical sleeve, and the inner wall of the locking sleeve is also provided with a first clamping ring; the fixing ring is provided with a second clamping ring, and a reset elastic member is provided between the second clamping ring and the first clamping ring to drive the locking ring close to the conical sleeve.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the airbag can be effectively fixed on the catheter to ensure that the airbag will not fall off during the inflation process. The design of the clamping mechanism makes the installation of the airbag more stable and reliable, improving the safety and accuracy of the test process. At the same time, the matching design of the locking sleeve and the conical sleeve can easily adjust the locking force to adapt to airbags of different sizes and shapes, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the device. The presence of the reset elastic member ensures that the locking sleeve is always in a locked state when not subject to external force to prevent accidental loosening.

[0020] Optionally, a closing head is provided at the tail end of the catheter, a wire hole is provided at the end of the closing head for the wire to pass through, and a sealing filler is provided between the wire and the wire hole; an air guide connector connected to the catheter pipe is provided on the side wall of the closing head.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the closure and airtightness of the tail end of the catheter can be ensured, and gas leakage can be prevented from affecting the accuracy of the test results. At the same time, the wire penetration wire hole and sealing filler set on the closed head ensure the safe transmission of the wire and avoid external interference. In addition, the design of the gas guide connector allows the gas to enter the catheter smoothly, improving the convenience and reliability of the test device.

[0022] Optionally, a one-way valve is provided at the front end of the catheter.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the one-way valve at the front end of the catheter can ensure that the gas can only enter the airbag and cannot flow out in the opposite direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the airbag during the inflation process. When the airbag is detonated, the one-way valve can also prevent external air from suddenly rushing into the catheter, causing air pressure fluctuations that affect the accuracy of the test results. This design improves the reliability and test accuracy of the entire test device.

[0024] A method for testing the air tightness of a vehicle door, using any of the above-mentioned testing devices for testing the air tightness of a vehicle door, specifically comprising the following steps: Door body sealing: except for the existing pressure sensor installation hole, the test hole for the conduit and the rainwater drainage hole, the remaining openings are sealed with plugs to simulate the sealing state of the door body to be tested after the interior trim panel is installed; The device is installed by placing the airbag in the door cavity to be detected and installing the second pressure sensor on the existing pressure sensor installation hole; Catheter sealing: Use a plug to seal the gap between the catheter and the test hole; The airbag guides gas to introduce gas into the airway until the sensing value of the first pressure sensor in the airbag reaches a preset value; The airbag is deployed, and the deployment mechanism deploys the airbag; Data analysis: The pressure collector reads the sensing values ​​of the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor, and analyzes the curve of the sensing values ​​changing with time to obtain the air tightness test results of the door to be tested.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, not only the test process is simplified and the test efficiency is improved, but also important data support can be provided for the OEM in the early stage of design, which is helpful to optimize the sealing performance of the door and improve the safety performance of the vehicle. In addition, the air tightness of the door can be effectively evaluated in the early stage of development without relying on expensive ultra-high air pressure equipment, which reduces the test cost and complexity. Specifically, by sealing all openings of the door except for specific openings, the sealing state in actual use can be simulated to ensure the accuracy of the test results; the airbag is placed in the door cavity, and the second pressure sensor is installed at a predetermined position, so as to realize the effective monitoring of the pressure change inside the door; the gap between the conduit and the test hole is sealed to prevent gas leakage, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the air pressure during the test; the airbag is inflated to a preset pressure value, so that the airbag is in a high pressure state, providing basic conditions for the air pressure shock after detonation; the high air pressure in the airbag is quickly released through the detonator to generate an instantaneous atmospheric pressure change, simulating the pressure change process during a collision; the data of the two pressure sensors are read and analyzed by a pressure collector, and the pressure change curves of different doors are compared to accurately evaluate the air tightness of the door.

[0026] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. This application uses a balloon and its internal and external pressure sensors to quickly generate large pressure changes in the door cavity, thereby accurately measuring the air tightness of the door, solving the problem that it is difficult to simulate real collision scenarios in traditional methods; 2. The detonation mechanism in the test device of the present application is cleverly designed, ensuring that the balloon can be quickly ruptured after being inflated to a predetermined pressure, thereby generating an instantaneous high-pressure shock, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the test; 3. The entire testing process of this application is simple and easy, without the need for special equipment and complicated operating procedures, which reduces the testing cost and difficulty, and is particularly suitable for evaluating and optimizing the air tightness of vehicle doors in the early stages of vehicle development.

[0030] Embodiment 1 Reference Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application discloses a test device for detecting the air tightness of a vehicle door, comprising an airbag 1, a catheter 2, a first pressure sensor 3 and a second pressure sensor 4, wherein the airbag 1 is used to be placed in a cavity of a door body to be detected, and forms an air pressure shock in the cavity of the door body to be detected by its own explosion; the airbag 1 is detachably connected to the catheter 2 by being tied with a thin rope 8, the catheter 2 provides an air guide channel for the airbag 1, and the catheter 2 is provided with a detonation mechanism 23 for causing the airbag 1 to burst; the first pressure sensor 3 is built into the cavity of the airbag 1, and is used to sense the pressure change in the cavity of the airbag 1; the second pressure sensor 4 is arranged on the outside of the airbag 1, and is placed in the cavity of the door body to be detected to detect the pressure change in the cavity of the door body to be detected; the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 are both connected to a pressure collector 6 through a wire 5; the pressure collector 6 is used to analyze the sensing values ​​of the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 1The catheter 2 is made of flexible materials such as medical rubber tubes or PVC water pipes. These materials have good flexibility and wear resistance and are suitable for a variety of test environments, especially for test scenarios that require frequent bending and movement. Such materials can effectively extend the service life of the catheter 2. A fixing ring 21 is provided at the head of the catheter 2, which can be fixed by bonding. The fixing ring 21 can not only serve as a support point for the airbag 1, but also enhance the strength of the front end of the catheter 2 to prevent the catheter 2 from deforming under high pressure. In order to facilitate the installation of the first pressure sensor 3, a threaded hole or a threaded seat is provided on the fixing ring 21. The first pressure sensor 3 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole or the threaded seat. During the installation process, the threaded connection can be sealed with raw tape.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The detonation mechanism 23 is a puncture strip 7 placed in the tube 20 of the catheter 2. When in use, one end of the puncture strip 7 is extended out of the catheter 2 and the other end is inserted into the interior of the airbag 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 After the inflation is completed, the tester pinches the tail end of the catheter 2 by hand to seal the catheter 2, and quickly pulls the puncture strip 7 to make its tip pierce the airbag 1, thereby achieving an instantaneous burst of the airbag 1 to form an air pressure shock in the cavity of the portal body to be tested; in order to prevent the tip of the puncture strip 7 from accidentally touching the airbag 1 during the inflation process, a sponge 71 can be wrapped around the tip of the puncture strip 7.

[0034] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: the airbag 1 is fixed and detonated through a simple mechanical structure, so that the airbag 1 can produce instantaneous air pressure changes in the cavity of the door body to be detected; this design is not only simple and easy, but also low-cost and suitable for large-scale applications.

[0035] Embodiment 2 Reference Figure 2 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the airbag 1 adopts a multi-layer overlapping structure. The airbag 1 can be composed of two or more thin layers of airbags 1. Each layer of airbags 1 can be tightly bonded together by adhesive or hot melt. The advantage of this design is that it can increase the maximum bearing pressure of the airbag 1 and extend the service life of the airbag 1, while also reducing the cost of a single test.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 The various layers of the airbag 1 may also be made of different materials, for example, one layer may be made of natural rubber and the other layer may be made of chloroprene rubber, so that the advantages of various materials can be fully utilized to improve the overall performance of the airbag 1. The number of layers of the airbag 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual test requirements. Generally, three or four layers can meet the requirements of most test scenarios.

[0037] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: through the design of the multi-layer airbag 1, the maximum pressure bearing capacity of the airbag 1 is significantly improved, the service life of the airbag 1 is extended, and at the same time the test cost is reduced and the test efficiency is improved.

[0038] Embodiment 3 Reference Figure 3~Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the detonation mechanism 23 adopts a more complex magnetic device 232, including a tube body 231 and a magnetic device 232. A slider 233 is slidably connected in the tube cavity 2311 of the tube body 231. The upper part of the slider 233 is provided with a needle 234, and the lower part is provided with a permanent magnet 235; the magnetic device 232 includes an excitation core 2321 and a winding 2322 wound on the excitation core 2321; the excitation core 2321 is fixed in the tube cavity 2311, and the slider 233 is fixed on the excitation core 2321 by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 235. After the winding 2322 is energized, the excitation core The magnetic force generated by 2321 drives the slider 233 to move along the tubular cavity 2311 toward the end away from the magnetic device 232. The advantage of this design is that it can realize remote control detonation, reduce the risk of human intervention, and improve the reliability and safety of the test; in order to prevent the slider 233 from slipping out of the tubular body 231, a limiting ring is fixed on the top of the tubular body 231, and the inner diameter of the limiting ring is larger than the diameter of the main body of the thorn 234 to ensure that the thorn 234 can pass through the fiber ring 237; in order to facilitate installation, a threaded hole or a threaded seat is provided on the fixing ring 21, and the outer wall of the head of the tubular body 231 is provided with a threaded portion 2312 adapted to the threaded hole or the threaded seat.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 A mounting groove is provided at the lower end of the slider 233, and a permanent magnet 235 is fixed in the mounting groove. An elastic pad 236 is provided at the lower end of the tube body 231. This design can ensure that the slider 233 remains stable in a stationary state to avoid false triggering; the magnetic device 232 is electrically connected to the pressure collector 6. When the sensing value of the first pressure sensor 3 read by the built-in control unit of the pressure collector 6 reaches a preset value, the magnetic device 232 is started to work, and the needle 234 is driven to move. In this way, an automated detonation process can be realized, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.

[0040] Reference Figure 6 In order to effectively prevent the backflow of gas during the inflation process, ensure that the airbag 1 can be smoothly inflated to the predetermined pressure, and improve the accuracy and stability of the test, a one-way valve 22 is provided at the front end of the catheter 2. The function of the one-way valve 22 is to prevent the backflow of gas during the inflation process, and ensure that the airbag 1 can be smoothly inflated to the predetermined pressure. Among them, the design of the one-way valve 22 can be in the form of a spring-loaded ball valve or a diaphragm valve, as long as it can meet the anti-backflow requirements.

The side wall of the closed head 25 is provided with a gas guide connector 252 connected to the conduit 20 of the conduit 2, which is convenient for external gas source access.

[0042] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: by introducing the magnetic device 232, the function of automatic detonation of the device is realized. Of course, the wire 5 of the magnetic device 232 can also be connected to an independent power line switch to realize the function of remote control detonation. Generally speaking, the magnetic device 232 greatly improves the safety and automation level of the test and reduces the influence of human errors. It should be pointed out that the needle 234 in this embodiment can also be driven by other methods to prompt the needle 234 to pierce the airbag to detonate the airbag, such as installing a pneumatic or electric telescopic rod at the lower end of the needle 234.

[0043] Embodiment 4 Reference Figure 8~Figure 10 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a clamping mechanism 24 for fixing the airbag 1 is provided on the fixing ring 21, and the clamping mechanism 24 includes a tapered sleeve 241 fixed on the fixing ring 21 and a locking sleeve 242 slidably connected to the fixing ring 21, and the inner wall of the locking sleeve 242 is provided with a locking ring 246 adapted to the tapered sleeve 241, wherein the tapered sleeve 241 and the locking ring 246 can be made of flexible rubber to enhance the contact tightness with the airbag 1 and ensure the sealing effect, and the tapered sleeve 241 is provided with a locking ring 246 adapted to the tapered sleeve 241. The sleeve 241 can be fixed to the fixed ring 21 by bonding; the inner wall of the locking sleeve 242 is also provided with a first groove, in which a first snap ring 243 is installed, and the fixing ring 21 is provided with a second groove, in which a second snap ring 244 is provided, and between the second snap ring 244 and the first snap ring 243 is provided a reset elastic member 245 for driving the locking ring 246 close to the conical sleeve 241. This design can ensure that the airbag 1 is firmly fixed on the catheter 2, and at the same time facilitates the rapid replacement of a new airbag 1.

[0044] When installing the airbag 1, it is only necessary to move the locking sleeve 242 to expose the conical sleeve 241, then put the airbag 1 outside the conical sleeve 241, and then loosen the locking sleeve 242. Under the action of the reset elastic member 245, the locking sleeve 242 clamps the air inlet section of the airbag 1 between the conical sleeve 241 and the locking ring 246.

[0045] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: by using flexible materials to make the catheter 2, not only the durability and flexibility of the catheter 2 are improved, but also the sealing performance of the catheter 2 is enhanced, making the entire testing device more stable and reliable.

[0046] Embodiment 5 Reference Fig.11The present application also discloses a method for testing the air tightness of a vehicle door, using any of the testing devices for testing the air tightness of a vehicle door described in the above embodiments, and the specific steps include: Door body sealing, except for the existing pressure sensor installation hole, the test hole for penetrating the conduit 2 and the rainwater drainage hole of the door body 9 to be tested, the remaining openings are sealed with plugging objects to simulate the sealing state of the door body 9 to be tested after the interior panel is installed; The device is installed by placing the airbag 1 in the cavity of the door body 9 to be detected, and installing the second pressure sensor 4 on the existing pressure sensor installation hole; The conduit 2 is sealed, and the gap between the conduit 2 and the test hole is sealed with a plugging object; The airbag 1 guides gas into the trachea until the sensing value of the first pressure sensor 3 in the airbag 1 reaches a preset value; The airbag 1 is detonated, and the detonation mechanism 23 detonates the airbag 1; Data analysis: the pressure collector 6 reads the sensing values ​​of the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4, and analyzes the curve of the sensing values ​​changing with time to obtain the air tightness test result of the door body 9 to be tested.

[0047] Specifically, in the door sealing step, the blockage can be in the form of sealing tape, plugs and buckles to ensure that all unnecessary openings are completely sealed; in the device installation step, the airbag 1 should be placed in the center as much as possible to ensure the uniform distribution of pressure changes; in the catheter 2 sealing step, the gap between the catheter 2 and the test hole should be filled and sealed by applying silicone or foam glue to prevent gas leakage; in the air guide step of the airbag 1, it should be inflated slowly, and whether there is leakage should be checked step by step to ensure that the internal pressure of the airbag 1 reaches the preset value before proceeding to the next step; in the airbag 1 detonation step, the airbag 1 can be detonated manually, automatically or remotely to observe the response of the pressure sensor. In the data analysis step, the curve of the change of the sensing value over time should be carefully analyzed to find the key nodes and determine whether the air tightness of the door meets the standard.
