Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of leak detection, and particularly relates to a multi-channel product internal leak detection method. Background Art
[0002] Vacuum box helium leak detection is a commonly used detection method, mainly used to detect the leakage of vacuum seals. Its core principle is to use helium as a tracer gas, fill helium into the workpiece, and perform detection in a vacuum box. Then, a high-precision helium mass spectrometer leak detector is used to quickly and accurately judge the leakage of the workpiece, and the leak rate of the detected product is obtained by analyzing the helium distribution.
[0003] There are various methods for leak detection using a helium mass spectrometer leak detector, such as the helium spraying method (also called the vacuum method), the helium suction method, etc. The most commonly used method for leak detection of vacuum equipment is the helium spraying method. It is worth mentioning that the equipment has a helium purging function. When the leak rate value of a non-conforming product is too high, before the next leak detection, the system automatically fills high-purity nitrogen into the contaminated vacuum box and common pipelines and evacuates them to ensure that the equipment will not produce false alarms due to the helium background pollution in the vacuum box.
[0004] The existing vacuum box helium leak detection method for multi-channel products can only detect whether there is a leakage phenomenon on the product wall. When there is an internal leak between the channels of the product, during the helium leak detection process, since the gas always circulates inside the product cavity, it is not easy to detect the internal leak of the product in the vacuum box. If there is a leakage phenomenon on the product wall, it is also not easy to detect which channel the product leakage point belongs to, which is likely to cause errors and affect the accuracy of the detection work. The staff cannot determine the leak point location, which is not convenient for product recovery, repair, and secondary utilization. Therefore, the present application provides a multi-channel product internal leak detection method to meet the requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a multi-channel product internal leak detection method.

[0007] S1: Single-channel detection, place the product in a vacuum box. The vacuum box is provided with an A-cavity inflation interface and a B-cavity inflation interface that are respectively connected to the two cavities A and B. The A-cavity inflation interface inflates the inside of the product cavity A, and the B-cavity inflation interface is opened;
[0008] S2: Initial internal leakage inspection. Determine whether the gas data in the vacuum chamber is qualified through the helium detection system connected to the vacuum chamber. If it is qualified, there are no leakage points in the A chamber and the connection between the A and B chambers. If it is unqualified, there is a leakage point in the A chamber or the connection between the A and B chambers:

Keep the A chamber inflation interface closed and inflate the inside of the B chamber of the product through the B chamber inflation interface. Determine whether the products in the vacuum chamber are qualified through the helium detection system. If it is qualified, it means the product is qualified, and the A chamber, B chamber, and the connection between the A and B chambers of the product are all qualified. If it is unqualified, it means the product is unqualified, and the leakage point of the product is located in the B chamber;
[0014] S42: Conduct inspections on the unqualified workpieces in step S5 in the vacuum chamber. After completely pumping out the gas inside the A chamber of the product through the A chamber inflation interface, keep the A chamber inflation interface closed and inflate the B chamber of the product through the B chamber inflation interface. Determine whether the products in the vacuum chamber are qualified through the helium detection system. If it is qualified, it means the leakage point of the product is located in the A chamber. If it is unqualified, it means the leakage point of the product is located in the B chamber.
[0015] Further, both the A chamber inflation interface and the B chamber inflation interface are connected to a helium supply system.
[0016] Further, the opening and closing states of both the A chamber inflation interface and the B chamber inflation interface are controlled by valves.
[0017] Further, movable fastening plates are provided inside the vacuum chamber. When the products are inside the vacuum chamber for inspection operations, the fastening plates press the products against the A chamber inflation interface and the B chamber inflation interface.

[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0030] Embodiment: Refer to Figure 1-6 A multi-channel product internal leakage detection method shown in the figure. The product cavity is divided into two cavities A and B. This internal leakage detection method includes the following steps:
[0031] S1: Single-channel detection. Place the product in the vacuum chamber 1. The vacuum chamber 1 is provided with an A-chamber inflation interface 11 and a B-chamber inflation interface 12 that are respectively connected to the two cavities A and B. The A-chamber inflation interface 11 inflates the inside of the product's A chamber, and the B-chamber inflation interface 12 is opened. During the detection process, when the detection gas enters the inside of the product's A chamber, due to the B-chamber inflation interface 12 being in an open state, if there is a leak at the connection between the product's A chamber and the A and B chambers, the detection gas will leak into the vacuum chamber 1 or the inside of the B chamber, and there will be a pressure change in either the vacuum chamber 1 or the A and B chambers of the product.
[0032] S2: Initial internal leakage detection. Determine whether the gas data in the vacuum chamber 1 is qualified through a helium detection system connected to the vacuum chamber 1. The helium detector uses the characteristic of helium molecules diffusing in a vacuum to detect whether there is helium in the surrounding environment, whether the pressure changes, and transmits the detection result to the PLC control system.
[0033] If it is qualified, there is no leak point at the connection between the A chamber and the A and B chambers. If it is unqualified, there is a leak point at the A chamber or the connection between the A and B chambers. The PLC control system makes a preliminary marking process to separate the qualified products from the unqualified products. The qualified products directly enter the detection line in step S4, and the unqualified products enter the detection line in step S3.
[0034] S3: Internal leakage troubleshooting. Place the unqualified products in step S2 back into the vacuum chamber 1 for re-inspection. The A-chamber inflation interface 11 inflates the inside of the product's A chamber, and at the same time, the B-chamber inflation interface 12 remains closed. At this time, only one inflation port of the A chamber remains in the A and B chambers of the product. After helium enters the product, determine whether the product in the vacuum chamber 1 is qualified through the helium detection system.
[0035] If it is qualified, it means that there is no helium leakage inside the vacuum chamber 1. Since the unqualified products in step S2 all have leakage points in the A chamber or at the connection between the A and B chambers, when there is no helium leakage inside the vacuum chamber 1, it means that there is a leakage point at the connection between the A and B chambers. The helium detector transmits the detection result to the PLC control system, and the PLC control system marks the workpieces with leakage points at the connection between the A and B chambers, determines that the workpieces have internal leakage, and centrally collects the marked internally leaking workpieces.
[0036] If there is helium leakage inside the vacuum chamber 1, it means that the product is unqualified, and there is no leakage point at the connection between the A and B chambers of the product. The leakage point only exists in the A chamber or B chamber of the product. The PLC control system marks the workpiece and sends it into the detection line of step S4.
[0037] S4: Leakage troubleshooting. Detect the qualified workpieces in step S2 and the unqualified workpieces in step S3 inside the vacuum chamber 1, and screen out the qualified workpieces, which are centrally collected.
[0038] S5: Mark the products with leakage points in the A chamber or B chamber. For unqualified workpieces, it is necessary to determine the leakage point position of the leaking products for recycling and repair the leakage points.
[0039] Specifically, in order to determine the leakage point position of the unqualified workpieces, step S3 includes the following steps:
[0040] S41: Detect the qualified workpieces in step S2 inside the vacuum chamber 1. The A chamber inflation interface 11 remains closed, and the B chamber inflation interface 12 inflates the inside of the B chamber of the product. Determine whether the product inside the vacuum chamber 1 is qualified through the helium detection system. If it is qualified, it means that there is no gas overflow inside the B chamber of the product. In step S2, it has been determined that there is no leakage in the A chamber and the connection between the A and B chambers of the product. Therefore, when there is no leakage in the B chamber of the product either, the A chamber, B chamber, and the connection between the A and B chambers of the product are all qualified. If it is unqualified, it means that the product is unqualified, and the leakage point of the product is located in the B chamber.
[0041] S42: Detect the unqualified workpieces in step S3 inside the vacuum chamber 1. After the A chamber inflation interface 11 completely extracts the gas inside the A chamber of the product, the A chamber inflation interface 11 remains closed, and the B chamber inflation interface 12 inflates the B chamber of the product. Determine whether the product inside the vacuum chamber 1 is qualified through the helium detection system. In step S3, the leakage point of the unqualified product only exists in the A chamber or B chamber of the product. Therefore, if it is qualified, it means that the leakage point of the product is not in the B chamber and is located in the A chamber. If it is unqualified, it means that the leakage point of the product is located in the B chamber.
[0042] In order to enable the helium gas to be smoothly transported through the A - chamber inflation interface 11 and the B - chamber inflation interface for the required detection, both the A - chamber inflation interface 11 and the B - chamber inflation interface 12 are connected to a helium gas supply system. When the helium gas supply system operates, inflation and deflation operations can be smoothly performed on the A - chamber and B - chamber of the product. In order to accurately control the opening and closing states of the A - chamber and B - chamber of the product, the operating states of the A - chamber inflation interface 11, the B - chamber inflation interface 12, and the helium gas supply system are all controlled by valves, and the valves are controlled by the terminal PLC control system.
[0043] Inside the vacuum chamber 1, there are movable fastening plates 13. When the product is inside the vacuum chamber 1 for detection operations, to maintain the stability of the product, the fastening plates 13 press the product tightly against the A - chamber inflation interface 11 and the B - chamber inflation interface 12. The product remains in a stable state throughout the detection process, is tightly connected to the A - chamber inflation interface 11 and the B - chamber inflation interface 12, further ensuring the accuracy of the product detection data.
[0044] On the vacuum chamber 1, there are an A - chamber pressure detection sensor 14 and a B - chamber pressure detection sensor 15 connected to the A - chamber and B - chamber of the product. Both the A - chamber pressure detection sensor 14 and the B - chamber pressure detection sensor 15 are connected to the helium gas detection system. When pressure changes occur inside the A - chamber and B - chamber of the product, the A - chamber pressure detection sensor 14 and the B - chamber pressure detection sensor 15 can accurately sense the pressure change phenomenon and transmit the pressure change state to the PLC control system, so that the PLC control system can make a response to determine whether there are internal leaks or leakage phenomena in the product.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above - mentioned are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
