Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts testing technology, and in particular to an airtightness testing device for automotive brake hose processing. Background Technology
[0002] Among automotive parts, brake lines are an important component. They are also commonly referred to as brake hoses, brake lines, or brake hoses. They are a key component of the automotive braking system. The main function of brake lines is to transmit the braking medium during vehicle braking, ensuring that the braking force is transmitted to the brake shoes or brake calipers to generate braking force, thereby making the braking effective at all times. During the manufacturing process of automotive brake lines, in order to ensure packaging quality and prevent leaks, high-pressure leak testing devices are usually used to test them for leaks.
[0003] For example, a high-pressure side leakage detection device with a clamping structure for brake hoses disclosed in prior art patent application number CN202022125674.8 can be used. By setting up a hydraulic telescopic rod, a lifting plate, a pipe rack, a U-shaped connecting block, and a tapered pipe, the brake hose can be clamped and fixed through their cooperation. By setting up an air compressor and an air chamber, and setting air pressure gauges on the front of the air compressor and the air chamber respectively, the difference in readings of the air pressure gauges on the air compressor and the air chamber can be used to detect whether there is a leak in the brake hose connected in series, thereby achieving the purpose of detecting the brake hose.
[0004] However, in the above method, the brake line is tested while bent, which causes pressure gradients or stress concentration at the bend. As a result, if there is a tiny leak at the bend, it will be difficult to detect due to uneven pressure distribution. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an airtightness testing device for automotive brake hose processing, which aims to solve the technical problem that in the prior art, brake hoses are tested in a bent state, which leads to pressure gradients or stress concentration at the bend, making it difficult to detect small leaks at the bend due to uneven pressure distribution.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0025] The first embodiment of this application is as follows: Please see Figures 1-4 ,in Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a front view of the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is the invention Figure 1 Enlarged view of the local structure at point A. Figure 4 This is the invention Figure 2 BB line structural cross-sectional view.
[0026] This invention provides an airtightness testing device for automotive brake pipe processing, comprising a frame 101, an air compressor 102, an air chamber 103, a straightening mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The straightening mechanism includes a displacement component, a power component, a first bidirectional screw 104, a support base 105, and two support plates 106. The power component includes a first motor 107, a drive gear 108, and a first driven gear 109. The displacement component includes a cylinder 110 and a mounting plate 111. The clamping mechanism includes a drive component and two sliding plates 106. 12. Two movable clamping parts 113, two fixed clamping parts 114 and a telescopic rod 115. The drive assembly includes a second motor 116, a disc 117, a support rod 118 and a connector. The connector includes a connecting block 119 and a force-bearing block 120. The aforementioned solution solves the technical problem in the prior art where the brake oil pipe is tested in a bent state, which leads to pressure gradients or stress concentration at the bend, making it difficult to detect small leaks at the bend due to uneven pressure distribution.
[0027] In this specific embodiment, both the air compressor 102 and the air chamber 103 are slidably connected to the frame 101. Both the air compressor 102 and the air chamber 103 are provided with tapered tubes 124. The difference in readings of the pressure gauges on the air compressor 102 and the air chamber 103 is used to detect whether there is a leak in the brake oil pipe connected in series with them.
[0028] The frame 101 has two guide grooves 121, and two support plates 106 are slidably connected to the corresponding guide grooves 121. The support base 105 is fixedly connected to the frame 101, and the first bidirectional screw 104 is rotatably connected to the support base 105. Both support plates 106 are threadedly engaged with the bidirectional screw. The displacement assembly is mounted on the frame 101 and is used to drive the power assembly to move. The power assembly is used to drive the first bidirectional screw 104 to rotate. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the automotive brake hose to be tested. In specific use, the clamping mechanism first clamps the automotive brake hose to be tested, and then the power assembly drives the first bidirectional screw 104 to rotate. The first bidirectional screw 104 carries... The two support plates 106 slide within their respective guide grooves 121, straightening the brake hose to be tested. This then pushes the air compressor 102 and the air chamber 103, connecting the two tapered tubes 124 to both ends of the brake hose. The air compressor 102 then supplies air, and the difference in pressure readings between the air compressor 102 and the air chamber 103 is used to detect leaks in the connected brake hose. This achieves the purpose of inspecting the brake hose, solving the technical problem in the prior art where the brake hose is inspected while bent, leading to pressure gradients or stress concentrations at the bend, making it difficult to detect even minor leaks due to uneven pressure distribution.

The output end of the first motor 107 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 108, and the first driven gear 109 is fixedly connected to the first bidirectional screw 104. The first driven gear 109 meshes with the driving gear 108. By starting the first motor 107, the output end of the first motor 107 drives the driving gear 108 to rotate.

In actual use, the cylinder 110 is started, and the output end of the cylinder 110 drives the mounting plate 111 to move. The mounting plate 111 drives the first motor 107 to move, thereby causing the driving gear 108 to mesh with the first driven gear 109.
[0031] In addition, the support plate 106 has a sliding groove 122, the slide plate 112 is slidably connected to the corresponding sliding groove 122, the two ends of the telescopic rod 115 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding slide plate 112, the two moving clamping members 113 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding slide plate 112, and the two fixed clamping members 114 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding support plate 106. The drive assembly is used to drive the corresponding moving clamping member 113 to move. By placing the two ends of the car brake oil pipe on the corresponding fixed clamping member 114, the drive assembly is activated. The drive assembly drives the corresponding moving clamping member 113 to move down, and drives the other slide plate 112 to move down through the telescopic rod 115, so that the two moving clamping members 113 and the two fixed clamping members 114 cooperate to clamp and fix the car brake oil pipe.
[0032] Furthermore, the connecting member is fixedly connected to the corresponding moving clamping member 113. The connecting member has a force-receiving groove 123. The second motor 116 is mounted on the corresponding support plate 106. The output end of the second motor 116 is fixedly connected to the disc 117. One end of the abutment rod 118 is fixedly connected to the disc 117, and the other end of the abutment rod 118 is placed in the force-receiving groove 123. The two ends of the connecting block 119 are fixedly connected to the corresponding moving clamp 113 and the force-receiving block 120 respectively, and the force-receiving groove 123 is provided on the force-receiving block 120; By starting the second motor 116, the output end of the second motor 116 drives the disk 117 to rotate. The disk 117 drives the abutment rod 118 to slide in the force groove 123, thereby driving the force block 120 to move. The force block 120 drives the connecting block 119 to move, which in turn drives the corresponding moving clamp 113 to move.
[0033] In the application of the airtightness testing equipment for automotive brake hose processing according to this embodiment, the brake hose to be tested is first clamped by the clamping mechanism. Then, the first bidirectional screw 104 is rotated by the power component. The first bidirectional screw 104 drives the two support plates 106 to slide in the corresponding guide grooves 121. The two support plates 106 straighten the brake hose to be tested. Then, the air compressor 102 and the air chamber 103 are pushed, so that the two tapered tubes 124 are connected to the two ends of the brake hose. Subsequently, the air compressor 102 supplies air, and the difference in readings of the air pressure gauges on the air compressor 102 and the air chamber 103 is used to detect whether there is a leak in the brake hose connected in series. This achieves the purpose of testing the brake hose. This method solves the technical problem in the prior art where the brake hose is tested in a bent state, which leads to pressure gradients or stress concentration at the bend, making it difficult to detect small leaks at the bend due to uneven pressure distribution.
