Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air tightness detection of expansion pots, in particular to an air tightness detection device for expansion pots. Background Art

[0002] The expansion pot is an essential safety functional component of the automobile engine cooling system. It is equipped with multiple openings to accommodate and compensate for the expansion and contraction of water in the system. During the operation of the engine, when the temperature of the automobile's cooling system rises, the coolant expands. At this time, the coolant vapor enters the expansion pot, preventing a large amount of evaporation loss of the coolant, increasing the boiling point of the coolant, and eliminating the low-pressure steam in the cooling system so that it does not cause air blockage. At the same time, it gives the coolant room to expand due to changes in temperature, load, and speed, ensuring the coolant circulation capacity. Therefore, the air tightness requirements of the expansion pot are relatively high. If an expansion pot with unqualified air tightness is directly put on the market and used in automobiles, once a leak occurs, it will affect the normal driving of the car. Therefore, designing a device for air tightness detection of expansion pots to screen out unqualified products is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content
