DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4The utility model provides a technical solution: a turbocharger volute air tightness detection device, comprising a detection platform 1 and a top plate 3, the detection platform 1 and the top plate 3 are connected by a column 2, a plurality of limit columns 4 are arranged on the upper end surface of the detection platform 1, a first cylinder 6 is arranged on the top of the top plate 3, a first blocking member 7 is arranged at one end of the first cylinder 6, the first blocking member 7 is adapted to the upper hole of the volute body 5, a side plate 8 is arranged on one side of the top plate 3, a second cylinder 9 is arranged on the side plate 8, a second blocking member 10 is arranged at one end of the second cylinder 9, the second blocking member 10 is adapted to the side hole of the volute body 5, an air hole 11 is opened at the bottom of the detection platform 1, and an air pump assembly is connected through the air hole 11.

[0023] When the first cylinder 6 is working, it drives the first blocking member 7 at one end thereof to move, and the first blocking member 7 moves downward to block the upper hole of the volute body 5 .

[0024] When the second cylinder 9 is working, it drives the second blocking member 10 at one end thereof to move, and the second blocking member 10 moves to block the side hole of the volute body 5 .

[0025] Among them, a limiting groove is formed between the multiple groups of limiting columns 4, and the volute body 5 is placed in the limiting groove. The lower hole of the volute body 5 is tightly attached to the detection platform 1 to achieve sealing.

[0026] Among them, multiple groups of limiting columns 4 are installed and fixed according to the outer contour of the volute casing main body 5, so that limiting grooves for placing the volute casing main body 5 are formed between the multiple groups of limiting columns 4. When fixing the volute casing main body 5, it is only necessary to place the volute casing main body 5 in the limiting groove to achieve positioning, thereby ensuring the consistency of the position of the volute casing main body 5 when detecting the volute casing main bodies 5 of the same batch.

[0027] Among them, according to the position of the hole in the volute body 5, the position and number of the sealing parts are selectively set, and the position of the volute body 5 is consistent each time. During the airtightness test, the sealing parts are driven to move by the cylinder to achieve rapid sealing of the volute body 5, replacing manual sealing, saving time and effort, and thus improving the efficiency of airtightness testing. It is suitable for airtightness testing of large quantities of volutes and shortens the testing cycle.

[0028] The air hole 11 is connected to a connecting hose 12, and the connecting hose 12 is connected to an air pump assembly. The air pump assembly includes a pressure gauge, a valve, a sensor, a pressure regulating valve, an air source, and the like.

[0029] Among them, when conducting air tightness detection, the valve is automatically closed after the volute body 5 is pressurized, the air path is cut off, and the pressure stabilization stage is entered. The pressure is maintained for a certain period of time so that the pressure tends to be stable. The sensor records the real-time pressure value at that time and enters the test stage. After a period of testing, the real-time pressure value is read again and compared with the previous pressure value. If the volute body 5 has a leak, the difference between the two pressures is the leakage value of the volute body 5 during the detection time. The larger the difference, the more serious the leakage of the volute body 5 and the worse the air tightness. If the difference is within the allowable leakage range, the volute body 5 is qualified.

[0030] Among them, the first sealing member 7 and the second sealing member 10 are both fixedly provided with a sealing ring 13. When the upper hole of the volute casing body 5 is sealed by the first sealing member 7, the sealing ring 13 of the first sealing member 7 is located at the connection to achieve sealing. When the side hole of the volute casing body 5 is sealed by the second sealing member 10, the sealing ring 13 of the second sealing member 10 is located at the connection to achieve sealing, thereby improving the sealing performance and thus improving the accuracy of the detection result.

[0031] One end of the first cylinder 6 is connected to a first mounting seat 14 .

[0032] One end of the second cylinder 9 is connected to a second mounting seat 15 .

[0033] The first blocking member 7 and the first mounting seat 14 are fixed by screws, so the connection method is simple and the assembly and disassembly are convenient.

[0034] The second blocking member 10 and the second mounting seat 15 are fixed by screws, so the connection method is simple and the assembly and disassembly are convenient.

[0035] Among them, the first blocking member 7 and the first mounting seat 14 are detachably fixed, the second blocking member 10 and the second mounting seat 15 are detachably fixed, and the limiting column 4 and the detection platform 1 are detachably fixed. The first blocking member 7 and the second blocking member 10 can be replaced according to usage requirements, and the installation positions of multiple groups of limiting columns 4 can be adjusted.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, multiple groups of limiting columns 4 are installed and fixed according to the outer contour of the volute body 5, so that limiting grooves for placing the volute body 5 are formed between the multiple groups of limiting columns 4. When fixing the volute body 5, it is only necessary to place the volute body 5 in the limiting groove to achieve positioning, thereby ensuring the consistency of the position of the volute body 5 when detecting the volute bodies 5 of the same batch. During the air tightness detection, the first cylinder 6 works to drive the first blocking piece 7 at one end thereof to move, and the first blocking piece 7 moves downward to block the upper hole of the volute body 5. The second cylinder 9 works to drive the second blocking piece 10 at one end thereof to move, and the second blocking piece 10 moves to block the side holes of the volute body 5. The connecting hose 12 is connected to the air pump assembly, and the air pump assembly includes a pressure gauge, a valve, and a transmission. Sensor, pressure regulating valve, air source, etc., the air pump assembly automatically closes the valve after pressurizing the volute body 5, cuts off the air path, enters the pressure stabilization stage, maintains a certain period of time, and makes the pressure tend to be stable. The sensor records the real-time pressure value at that time and enters the test stage. After a period of testing, the real-time pressure value is read again and compared with the previous pressure value. If the volute body 5 leaks, the difference between the two pressures is the leakage value of the volute body 5 during the detection time. The larger the difference, the more serious the leakage of the volute body 5 and the worse the air tightness. If the difference is within the allowable leakage range, the volute body 5 is qualified. After the detection is completed, the first cylinder 6 drives the first sealing member 7 to reset, and the second cylinder 9 drives the second sealing member 10 to reset, and the volute body 5 can be manually removed.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
