[0002] A one-way valve is a valve that allows fluid to flow only along the inlet, but the outlet medium cannot flow back. It is commonly known as a one-way valve. A one-way valve is also called a check valve or a non-return valve. There are two types of one-way valves: straight-through type and right-angle type, and they are widely used. For food-grade one-way valve bodies, it is generally necessary to test their air tightness after the one-way valve is manufactured.

The airtightness test is very difficult for small product sizes, and the test results cannot be guaranteed. The technical requirements for employees are too high. Based on this, an automatic airtightness test equipment for food-grade one-way valves is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
