Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air cathode testing and inspection, in particular to an air cathode leak testing device. Background Art
[0002] The portable metal air power source has two air cathode structures, each of which includes two air membranes, which are generally fixed by injection molding to form the above air cathode structure. The air membrane has waterproof, breathable and catalytic effects. After assembly, the open end of the air cathode structure will be sealed by the cover body, and the electrolyte is contained between the two air membranes, which can only be ventilated through the air membrane.
[0003] Due to manufacturing errors, injection mold defects and other issues, some air cathode structures have electrolyte leakage during use. During the test phase before the product leaves the factory, all products have passed the test of holding clean water. During this test, defective products will not leak, and will only leak during use. According to research, this is because when the metal-air power source is working, the metal anode undergoes an oxidation-reduction reaction to produce gas, which causes the internal pressure of the air cathode structure to increase, and leakage will occur in the defective areas.
[0004] However, directly testing for leaks in working conditions will leave traces of product use, affecting product shipment. In order to carefully check whether the air cathode structure is leaking before shipment, our company has developed a leak testing device that can simulate the working pressure of the metal air power supply without leaving any traces of use. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an air cathode leak test device, which can conveniently perform a traceless test on the air cathode.

[0033] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an air cathode leak test device according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises:
[0035] A first shell 1, an air cathode to be tested is installed below the first shell 1;
[0036] The second shell 2 is connected to an air pipe 31, the air pipe 31 is also connected to an air compression pump, and a gas pipeline communicating with the first shell 1 is provided inside the second shell 2;
[0037] The third shell 3 is located between the second shell 2 and the air pipe 31 .
[0038] During the test, an air cathode filled with pure water is installed under the first shell 1. The gas transported by the air pipe 31 is first filtered through the third shell 3, and the filtered gas enters the first shell 1 along the second shell 2 to test the air cathode; the second shell 2 can adjust the flow rate of the transported gas to adjust the gas pressure and better simulate the test environment.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, a sealing plate 12 is provided at the lower part of the first shell 1, and two sealing rings 13 connected to the air cathode are provided on the sealing plate 12, so that two air cathodes can be tested at the same time, and an air hole 14 connected to the air cathode is provided on the sealing plate 12;
[0040] The side wall of the first housing 1 is provided with a latch 11 for fixing the air cathode. The latch 11 is an existing conventional part and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0041] The first housing 1 is provided with a first cover 15, and the bottom of the second housing 2 is provided with a pipe joint 29 connected to the first cover 15. The pipe joint 29 penetrates into the first cover 15 and is sealed, so that the gas can smoothly enter the air cathode to be tested along the second housing 2 and the first housing 1.
[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second housing 2 is connected to the guide member 21 by bolts, a sealing ring 210 is arranged between the second housing 2 and the guide member 21, the guide member 21 is connected to the limiter 22 by bolts, a sealing ring is arranged between the guide member 21 and the limiter 22, the cross section of the limiter 22 is "Z" shaped, a second cover 23 is arranged on the limiter 22, the cross section of the second cover 23 is "L" shaped to match the limiter 22, the bottom of the "L" shape of the second cover 23 extends into the "Z" shape of the limiter 22, so that the second cover 23 can only perform a rotational action.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, a valve stem 24 is provided in the second housing 2, and the top end of the valve stem 24 is connected to the second cover 23 via a thread 26. A guide groove 25 is provided on the side wall of the valve stem 24, and a protrusion extending into the guide groove 25 is provided on the side wall of the guide member 21, so that when the second cover 23 is rotated, the valve stem 24 can only move up and down. When moving up and down, the flow rate of the gas pipeline connecting the second housing 2 and the first housing 1 is adjusted, and then the gas pressure input to the air cathode is adjusted to better simulate the test environment.
[0044] The bottom of the valve stem 24 has a sealing inclined surface 27, the lower part of the second housing 2 is a valve seat 28, the valve seat 28 has an inclined edge that matches the sealing inclined surface 27, and the bottom of the valve seat 28 is connected to a pipe joint 29.

[0045] The third shell 3 is connected to the second shell 2 via a connecting pipe 32 . A filter is provided in the connecting pipe 32 . The connecting pipe 32 is detachable, and the filter can be replaced conveniently after being detached.

[0047] A spiral baffle 35 is provided in the third shell 3, and a detachable end cover 33 is provided at the bottom of the third shell 3, which can better intercept oil, water, impurities, etc. in the air.

[0048] When the device is in use, multiple sealing rings can be provided on the sealing plate 12 of the first housing 1, so that multiple air cathodes can be tested at the same time. Pressure regulation can be achieved through the valve stem 24 of the second housing 2, and the pressure applied to the air cathode is 0.02-0.05MPA, that is, the working pressure of the air cathode structure is the normal atmospheric pressure plus 0.02-0.05MPA.
