When the detection device is in operation, the air inlet end of the air filter 1 is connected to the air compressor, and the air outlet end of the pressure sensor 5 is connected to the oil tank. The air compressor is used as an air source to transport air. The air filter 1 is used to filter and purify the air. The air pressure regulator 2 is used to adjust the size of the compressed air pressure and stabilize the output. The normally open solenoid valve 3 is used to cut off the compressed air and release the compressed air inside the oil tank. The normally closed solenoid valve 4 is used to execute the cut-off command issued by the pressure sensor 5. The pressure sensor 5 is used to issue a cut-off command and a pressure-maintaining timing command. The time relay 6 is used to execute the timing command issued by the pressure sensor 5. The intermediate relay 7 is used to lock the command.

[0023] It also includes an air flow control valve 15, which is connected to the air inlet end of the air filter 1. During operation, the air filter 1 is connected to the air compressor through the air flow control valve 15, and the air flow control valve 15 is used to adjust the air flow.

[0024] It also includes a box body 8, in which an air filter 1, an air flow control valve 15, an air pressure regulator 2, a normally open solenoid valve 3, a normally closed solenoid valve 4, a pressure sensor 5, a time relay 6 and an intermediate relay 7 are all arranged. The box body 8 serves as an external shell of the detection device and provides installation space for various components. In this way, an integrated design is adopted, the component structure is clear and neat, all functional components are installed in a centralized manner, which is easy to move, and has a small size and saves space.

[0025] A heat dissipation hole 9 is also provided on the front of the box body 8, and a heat dissipation fan 10 is installed at a position corresponding to the heat dissipation hole 9 in the box body 8. When in operation, the heat dissipation fan 10 can draw air into the box body 8 to dissipate heat.

[0026] It also includes a switching power supply 11, a control switch 12 and an indicator light 13. The switching power supply 11, the control switch 12 and the indicator light 13 are all arranged in the box body 8. The pressure sensor 5, the normally open solenoid valve 3, the intermediate relay 7 and the control switch 12 are electrically connected to each other. The cooling fan 10, the control switch 12, the intermediate relay 7 and the switching power supply 11 are electrically connected to each other.

Press the control switch 12, the normally open solenoid valve 3 opens, and the compressed air enters the oil tank smoothly. When the pressure sensor 5 senses that the internal pressure of the oil tank has reached a predetermined value, it immediately sends a signal command to the intermediate relay 7, and the intermediate relay 7 immediately locks this signal command. At the same time, the normally closed solenoid valve 4 and the time relay 6 also receive this signal command. The normally closed solenoid valve 4 immediately executes the compressed air cut-off command, and the time relay 6 also executes the pressure holding timing command at the same time. By observing the changes in the pressure value of the pressure sensor 5, the sealing condition of the oil tank can be known. When the pressure is maintained, press the control switch 12, all actuators and command elements are reset, and the compressed air inside the oil tank is released at the normally open solenoid valve 3.
