Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air tightness detection, and in particular to an air tightness detection tool for a cover plate for an automobile controller. Background Art
[0002] The internal control components of the automobile controller are encapsulated in a sealed structure formed by welding the shell and the top cover. The automobile controller itself has gas sealing requirements, and the top cover as its component naturally also has sealing requirements. The base of the controller top cover is a stamping part, which is made by pouring and stamping molten aluminum. Pores may exist due to abnormal changes in temperature and pressure during the pouring and stamping process. Stamping parts with leakage defects may cause customer complaints on the one hand, and further assembly into finished products will lead to greater cost waste on the other hand. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct airtightness detection on the controller cover before the next assembly to identify it in advance.
[0003] At present, visual inspection with the naked eye is generally used to select and deal with such stamping parts with air leakage. Long-term visual inspection is prone to fatigue, which is not only detrimental to the health of inspectors, but also prone to missed judgments, resulting in greater subsequent losses.
