One-to-one correspondence, each of the port plugging members 42 is used to plug the corresponding port of the pipe joint 6, and at least one of the port plugging members 42 has an air supply channel 4221 communicated with the pipe joint 6, so that the pipe joint can be placed in the second receiving groove, and then the two ports of the pipe joint are clamped and sealed by two port plugging members. At this time, the air supply channel can be used to supply air to the pipe joint and maintain the pressure. During the pressure maintaining process, observe whether the pressure will drop. If it drops, it means that the air tightness is unqualified. If it does not change, it means that the air tightness is qualified.

The pressure detection component is located between the valve and the pipeline interface. The gas supply equipment can be a gas cylinder containing compressed air. The detection principle is that when the port sealing components seal the ports of the pipe joints, gas is supplied from the pipe joints of the gas supply equipment box, and then the valve is closed. Within a certain period of time (such as 5 minutes), if the pressure detected by the pressure detection component does not drop or the drop value is less than the set threshold value, it indicates that the sealing of the pipe joint is qualified. If the pressure detected by the pressure detection component drops by more than the set threshold value, it indicates that the air tightness of the pipe joint is unqualified.

It has a simple structure and a good clamping effect, and can be clamped directly from both ends of the pipe joint.

[0067] The bidirectional telescopic member described in this embodiment can adopt a double-axis double-rod double-outlet slide cylinder.

[0068] like Fig.11As shown, the positioning mechanism 2 in the above technical solution includes a first column 21 and a baffle 22, the first column 21 is vertically arranged, and a first receiving groove 211 penetrating from front to back is recessed at its upper end, the discharge end of the feeding mechanism 1 is aligned with the front end of the first receiving groove 211, the pipe joint 6 delivered by the feeding mechanism 1 slides backward into the first receiving groove 211, the baffle 22 is vertically arranged behind the first column 21 in the left-right direction, and there is a gap between the baffle 22 and the first column 21 The baffle 22 is used to limit the rear end of the pipe joint 6 in the first receiving groove 211, and after the pipe joint 6 is positioned in the first receiving groove 211, both ends of the pipe joint 6 protrude outside the first receiving groove 211 for the taking mechanism 3 to take. The structure is simple, so that the pipe joint fed into the first receiving groove by the feeding mechanism is blocked by the baffle at the rear end, so that the pipe joint can be positioned, and it is convenient for the clamping member to clamp the pipe joint so as to accurately feed the pipe joint into the second receiving groove.

[0069] The feeding mechanism 1 in the above technical solution is a vibrating plate feeder, which can realize the delivery of pipe joints one by one (the discharge end of the feeding mechanism 1 and the front end of the first receiving groove also have a gap for the front end clamping rod group to clamp the front end of the pipe joint).

[0070] like Fig.12 As shown, the material distribution mechanism 5 in the above technical solution includes a transition guide groove 51, an inclined driving member 52 and two discharge grooves 53. The two discharge grooves 53 are vertically inclined and arranged behind the air tightness detection mechanism 4, and the two discharge grooves 53 are spaced apart along the left and right directions. The transition guide groove 51 is swingably arranged between the two discharge grooves 53 along the left and right directions to receive the pipe joint 6 sent by the taking mechanism 3. The driving end of the inclined driving member 52 is connected to the transition guide groove 5 1 transmission connection, which is used to drive the transition guide groove 51 to tilt vertically to guide the pipe joint 6 to any one of the discharge grooves 53, one of the discharge grooves 53 is used to receive the pipe joint 6 with qualified air tightness, and the other discharge groove 53 is used to receive the pipe joint 6 with unqualified air tightness, so that the tilting driving member can determine the tilting direction of the transition guide groove according to the detection mechanism of the air tightness detection mechanism, so as to realize the separation of the pipe joints with qualified air tightness and the pipe joints with unqualified air tightness.

[0071] This embodiment further comprises a frame 7, on which the feeding mechanism 1, the positioning mechanism 2, the taking mechanism 3, the material dividing mechanism 5 and the air tightness detection mechanism 4 are all arranged in sequence.

[0072] The transition guide groove 51 can be installed on the frame 7 so as to be swivelled left and right, and the tilting drive member 52 can be a telescopic cylinder, which extends or contracts to adjust the tilting direction of the filtering guide groove (for example, when the tilting drive member is extended, one end of the transition guide groove is tilted downward, and when the tilting drive member is contracted, the other end of the transition guide groove is tilted downward).

[0073] The pipe joint air tightness detection assembly provided in this embodiment is used to detect a pipe joint that is a straight-through piece.

[0074] The pipe joint air tightness detection assembly in this embodiment also includes a controller (the controller can be set on the frame, and the controller can adopt a PLC controller), and the taking mechanism 3, the material distribution mechanism 5 and the air tightness detection mechanism 4 are all electrically connected to the controller, so that the operation degree of the whole equipment is highly automated.

[0075] Example 4

[0076] Same as Example 3, except that Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the airtightness detection mechanism is the airtightness detection mechanism described in Example 2.

[0077] like Fig.15 As shown, in this embodiment, a horizontal section can be set in the middle of the clamp rod, so that the clamp rod has a three-section bending structure, so that the clamping part can avoid the vertically arranged port blocking member and move horizontally when moving forward and backward.

[0078] The pipe joint air tightness detection assembly provided in this embodiment is used to detect a tee piece.

[0079] Example 5

[0080] like Figure 16-Figure 18 As shown, this embodiment provides a dual-station pipe joint air tightness detection device, which includes two pipe joint air tightness detection assemblies spaced apart in the left and right directions (respectively, the pipe joint air tightness detection assemblies described in Example 3 and Example 4), but the two material distribution mechanisms share a discharge trough to divert unqualified pipe joints (at this time, there are only three discharge troughs and two transition guide troughs), and also share a frame and a controller. Among them, Fig.16 and Fig.18 The middle dotted line indicates the partition of the two pipe joint air tightness detection assemblies.

[0081] The two testing lines of the double-station pipe joint air tightness testing equipment provided in this embodiment are used to test straight-through fittings and tee fittings respectively, but unqualified straight-through fittings and tee fittings detected by the two testing lines are collected together.

Any ordinary technician in the industry can smoothly implement the utility model as shown in the drawings of the specification and described above.
