Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field technology of pipe leak detection fixtures, in particular to a pipe leak detection fixture. Background Art

[0002] Most of the existing pipe leak detection processes are carried out one by one after the cutting is completed. This detection requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Failure to detect the leak of the entire pipe before cutting also means that defects cannot be discovered in time. If there are leaks in the entire pipe and they are not discovered before cutting, and the leaks are detected after the cutting is completed, the cutting work will cause unnecessary waste.

[0003] In the existing pipe air tightness test, the operator manually inserts one end of the pipe into the plug, passes high-pressure gas into the other end, and then immerses the pipe in water. The operator observes whether there are bubbles at the pipe welding position. During the entire air tightness test process, the inside of the product is under high pressure. If the plug is not tightly connected to the pipe, the plug will pop out, resulting in low detection accuracy and low operating efficiency.

[0004] Later, a device for detecting air tightness of pipes appeared on the market. In the pipe air tightness detection and processing industry, automatic machines are generally used for assembly and detection. Although its production efficiency is high, the automatic equipment is expensive and is not suitable for small batch and multi-specification pipe detection and processing.
