Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of workpiece detection, in particular to a leakage detection device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, some workpieces need to strictly ensure that their air tightness meets the design during the production process, and generally the workpiece is tested for air tightness as a whole. However, when testing the air tightness of such workpieces, in order to ensure the accuracy of the air tightness test, it is necessary to seal unimportant positions such as threaded holes in advance.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with patent number ZL202221323614.X (authorization announcement number CN217716786U) discloses a large cavity leak detection device for an engine cylinder block, which seals the upper joint surface of the engine cylinder block with a first sealing gasket on a first sealing plate, seals the cylinder head mating surface of the engine cylinder block with a second sealing gasket on a second sealing plate, and seals other positions of the cylinder block with a sealing joint (specifically, the threaded holes of the cylinder block are sealed with bolts, and the main oil channel outlet of the cylinder block is sealed with a third sealing plate).

[0004] Although the leak detection device can identify the non-dense position of the engine cylinder by performing airtightness test after sealing with multiple sealing plates and sealing joints, the leak detection device still has the following limitations: First, since the position of the sealing plate is fixed, the leak detection device is only suitable for leak detection of the large cavity of the engine cylinder, but not for leak detection of other workpieces; second, the sealing method of the sealing plate is suitable for sealing the flat surface of the workpiece. If the part to be sealed of the workpiece is slightly tilted, the above-mentioned sealing method may result in the first sealing gasket and the part to be sealed not being in full contact, which will cause the problem of poor sealing and affect the detection accuracy. Therefore, further improvements to the prior art are needed. Utility Model Content
