Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water heater production, in particular to a device for detecting the air tightness of a water heater. Background Art

[0002] Among water heaters, blast-type gas water heaters are widely used in life, and their internal combustion chamber is positive pressure. The three major parts of the blast-type gas water heater, the smoke hood, the heat exchanger and the combustion chamber, require high sealing after assembly to avoid smoke leakage after combustion and harm to the human body. At present, there is no better detection method on the production line to detect whether the air tightness of the three major parts of the smoke hood, the heat exchanger and the combustion chamber after assembly is qualified. It is necessary to use a reliable device to test before going online to ensure that the air tightness of the water heater is qualified before leaving the factory.

[0003] There are many existing technologies for water heater air tightness detection devices, such as:

[0004] Chinese patent announcement number CN210108640U discloses a water heater air tightness detection device, which includes an air pump that can provide compressed air, a first pressure gauge, a second pressure gauge and a gas flow meter. The air pump is connected to the air inlet of the water heater combustion chamber through an air inlet pipeline. The gas flow meter and the first pressure gauge are installed on the air inlet pipeline, and the second pressure gauge is installed at the air outlet of the water heater smoke hood. The water heater air tightness detection device provided by the utility model is simple to operate, and the detection result is intuitive and measurable. Air is continuously introduced into the water heater, and the air pressure regulating valve is adjusted to stabilize the first pressure gauge at a specified value. Then, the values ​​of the second pressure gauge and the gas flow meter are observed to be within the specified range, so as to judge whether the air tightness of the water heater smoke hood, the heat exchanger and the combustion chamber after assembly is qualified.

[0005] Existing water heaters are generally tested for air tightness by air pressure detectors, but air pressure detectors are mostly used by water heater manufacturers to sample water heaters before they leave the factory. On the one hand, the operation of air pressure detectors is relatively complicated and requires professional pre-job training before use. On the other hand, the price of the entire set of detectors is expensive, which increases the cost. For maintenance workers who are inspecting water heaters, air pressure detectors are difficult to use. For example, the water heater air tightness detection device proposed in the above patent uses an air pump to ventilate the water heater, and then observes the pressure gauge reading to determine whether the water heater is airtight.

[0006] In view of this, we propose a device for detecting the air tightness of a water heater to improve the deficiencies of the prior art. Utility Model Content

The driving component is used to drive the height adjustment component to adjust the height of the water heater to be detected placed between the detection components, and the air tightness of the water heater is detected by the detection component.

[0009] As a further improvement of the technical solution, the driving assembly includes a worm, a servo motor is provided at one end of the worm, the worm and the output shaft of the servo motor are coaxially connected, and a worm wheel is meshed on one side of the worm.

[0010] As a further improvement of the technical solution, the height adjustment component includes a threaded rod coaxially connected to the top of the worm, and a screw shift seat is threadedly connected to one side of the threaded rod close to the other height adjustment component.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present technical solution, the detection assembly includes a placement seat fixedly connected to the screw displacement seat and a detection groove opened on the top of the base, the detection groove is located between the two placement seats, and a card slot is opened on the side of the placement seat away from the screw displacement seat.

[0012] As a further improvement of the technical solution, a detection liquid is provided in the detection tank, and an inner wall of the detection tank is coated with a water-based paint.

[0014] In the device for detecting the air tightness of the water heater, a driving component is provided to drive the height adjustment component, and the height of the placement seat is adjusted according to the diameter of the water heater to be detected. The air tightness of the water heater is then detected by the detection component, and the visual effect produced when the water heater leaks is amplified by the detection liquid.

The driving component 20 has the advantages of good transmission stability, low noise and high reliability, and is suitable for occasions with high load and low speed output.

[0029] Taking into account the need to adjust the height of the placement seat 41 according to the diameter of the water heater to be tested, the height adjustment component 30 includes a threaded rod 31 coaxially connected to the top of the worm gear 21, and the threaded rod 31 is threadedly connected to a screw seat 32 on one side close to the other height adjustment component 30; driven by the worm gear 23, the threaded rod 31 rotates forward and reversely with the worm gear 23, driving the screw seat 32 to move up and down along the threaded rod 31, thereby adjusting the distance between the placement seat 41 and the base 10.
