[0002] After the sealed container is filled, it is usually necessary to test its air tightness and check for leakage defects such as microcracks and micropores. At present, there is no fast, stable and reliable method and equipment for industrial sites. The usual detection method is to rely on manual visual inspection, or to observe whether there is leakage after filling. The means are backward and unreliable. In modern industrial production, there are application cases of using airtight detection machines to blow air into sealed containers. Sealed containers with cracks may be blown up. This method has the disadvantages of noise pollution and low detection sensitivity. In addition, there are also discharge detection, laser detection, and material concentration detection. Discharge detection requires additional filling of conductive media, which is a complicated process. The accuracy of laser detection is easily affected by the background material concentration. The material concentration detection has the disadvantage of low efficiency. Each has its own limitations and cannot meet the requirements of high-speed, stable, and large-scale production.

[0030] The detection method comprises:

[0031] The test chamber falls and seals the sealed container to be tested inside the sealed chamber. The vacuum detection module applies a vacuum environment of a certain vacuum degree to the inside of the sealed chamber to detect the change of the vacuum degree of the test chamber within one rotation cycle.

[0041] This solution performs leakage detection on the sealed container by forming a certain vacuum environment outside the container, which is non-destructive and avoids damage to the detection equipment due to breakage or explosion of the sealed container during the test. At the same time, through the path planning of the test chamber by the cam track, the use of elastic parts between the cam push rod and the test chamber, and the setting of the seal on the lower turntable, the test chamber can form a closed cavity with a stable structure and good sealing performance between the lower turntable when it is in a low position, thereby ensuring the reliability of the test and the simplicity of the overall structure.

[0042] During the test process of this scheme, two vacuum readings are taken before and after, and the difference between the two readings is calculated to determine whether the sealed container has leakage. This method can test whether the sealed container has leakage over a long period of time, effectively avoiding the possibility that some minor leaks are ignored and detected due to a short test time. In addition, the vacuum start position is set near the feed star wheel to ensure that the test chamber is fully sealed; the first vacuum reading is separated from the vacuum start position to stabilize the vacuum degree of the test chamber; the second vacuum reading is far away from the first vacuum reading to improve the detection sensitivity.

[0043] This detection method has high accuracy and fast detection speed, which greatly improves production efficiency.

[0044] Compared with the prior art (CN116735116A), in which both the main power and the bottle feeding mechanism use servo motors, which increases the cost and structural complexity, only one AC reduction motor is used in this solution; the prior solution uses a nitrogen spring, which has the disadvantages of complex structure, easy leakage, and high cost, and the elastic force of the nitrogen spring is easily affected by air pressure and temperature. The present solution uses a metal spring, which has low cost and is conducive to the long-term stable operation of the equipment; the multi-stage drive device used in the prior solution has a complex structure, and only one AC reduction motor provides all the power in this solution.

[0059] The flexible rejection mechanism 10 is disposed on the other side of the material conveyor 5 , and is used to reject the sealed containers 18 that have failed the inspection from the material conveyor 5 to the rejection conveyor 6 .

[0060] as well as,

[0061] A non-destructive method for detecting leakage of a sealed container 18, using the detection device as described above for detection;

[0062] The detection method comprises:

[0063] The test chamber 3 falls and seals the sealed container 18 to be tested inside the sealed chamber. The vacuum detection module 4 applies a vacuum environment of a certain vacuum degree to the inside of the sealed chamber to detect the change of the vacuum degree of the test chamber 3 within one rotation cycle.

[0064] Determine the change in vacuum degree. If the change in vacuum degree exceeds a preset value, the sealed container 18 has leakage. If the change in vacuum degree is within the preset value, the sealed container 18 has no leakage.

[0065] After the detection is completed, the vacuum detection module 4 breaks the vacuum in the test chamber 3, the test chamber 3 rises, and the sealed container 18 that has completed the detection is processed according to the detection result.

[0066] More specifically, in this embodiment:

[0067] The testing equipment, such as Figure 2 As shown in FIG, the main turntable 1 , the cam push rod 2 , the test chamber 3 , the vacuum detection module 4 and the cam track 16 are together constituted.

[0068] The main turntable 1 comprises an upper turntable, a middle turntable and a lower turntable which rotate coaxially and are driven by the same power device.

[0069] The cam track 16 is arranged between the upper turntable and the middle turntable through the cam guide support column 17, and the cam track 16 is a continuous annular track, and its height between the feed and discharge of the main turntable 1 is higher than that at other positions, forming a track form of a small hill.

[0070] The upper end of the cam push rod 2 is connected between the upper turntable and the middle turntable, and a roller is provided on the upper end of the cam push rod 2, which can slide with the cam track 16, so that the cam push rod 2 will also run along the designed route of the cam track 16 during the process of following the rotation of the main turntable 1. The lower end of the cam push rod 2 is connected to the test chamber 3 through a spring, so that the downward pressure of the test chamber 3 has a certain flexible adjustable range.

[0071] The test chamber 3 rises and falls with the rise and fall of the cam follower 2 on the cam track 16. When the test chamber 3 is in the low position, it is directly pressed on the lower turntable to form a closed cavity inside it. The sealed container 18 is placed on the lower turntable and sealed inside the closed cavity. A sealing groove is also provided on the lower turntable corresponding to the pressing position of the test chamber 3. The inside of the sealing groove is filled with a sealing member, such as an O-ring, so that a sealed closed cavity with reliable sealing is further formed after the test chamber 3 is pressed down.

[0072] The vacuum detection module 4 is mounted on the main turntable 1 and is connected to the test chamber 3 through a vacuum pipe. It is used to apply an appropriate level of vacuum in the closed cavity to form a vacuum test environment and break the vacuum after the subsequent test is completed. A relative pressure sensor is provided in the vacuum detection module 4, which has high sensitivity and can be used to accurately measure the change of the vacuum degree in the closed cavity.

[0073] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and 2As shown, there are 25 cam push rods 2, test chambers 3 and vacuum detection modules 4, which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the main turntable 1. Each group of cam push rods 2, test chambers 3 and vacuum detection modules 4 is independently arranged and can be controlled and detected separately.

[0074] When the detection equipment is detecting, the cam track 16 is designed to be at a higher height between the feed and the discharge, so that the normal rotation of the main turntable 1 can drive the test chamber 3 to rise and fall, and then automatically put the sealed container 18 placed on the lower turntable into the closed cavity; an appropriate level of vacuum (determined by the test requirements) is applied to the closed cavity through the vacuum detection module 4, so as to implement leakage detection of the sealed container 18 within a rotation cycle through the change of vacuum degree, and when the vacuum degree change exceeds the preset value, it is determined that the sealed container 18 has a leak; after the detection is completed, the vacuum of the test chamber 3 is broken again by the vacuum detection module 4, and the cam push rod 2 is driven by the cam track 16 to lift the test chamber 3 near the discharge position, so that the sealed container 18 after the detection can be taken out.

[0075] The detection method is as follows: the test chamber 3 falls and seals the sealed container 18 to be detected inside the sealed cavity, the vacuum detection module 4 applies a vacuum environment of a certain vacuum degree to the inside of the sealed cavity, and detects the change in the vacuum degree of the test chamber 3 within a rotation cycle; the vacuum degree change is judged, if the vacuum degree change exceeds a preset value, there is leakage in the sealed container 18, if the vacuum degree change is within the preset value, there is no leakage in the sealed container 18; after the detection is completed, the vacuum detection module 4 breaks the vacuum in the test chamber 3, the test chamber 3 rises, and the sealed container 18 that has been tested is processed according to the detection result. Specifically: In this embodiment, the 5th and 6th stations after the main turntable 1 is fed are designed as the vacuum start position 11, and vacuuming is started; the 3rd and 4th stations after vacuuming are designed as the first vacuum reading position 12, and the first vacuum reading is implemented to detect the vacuum degree of the test chamber 3 after the vacuum is stabilized; the 1st and 2nd stations after the first vacuum reading are designed as the vacuum stop position 14, and the vacuuming is stopped to start the leakage detection of the sealed container 18; the 6th and 7th stations before the main turntable 1 is discharged are designed as the second vacuum reading position 13, and the second vacuum reading is implemented to detect the vacuum degree of the test chamber 3 after a delay for a period of time; the 5th and 6th stations before the main turntable 1 is discharged are designed as the vacuum breaking position 15, and the vacuum breaking is performed. The vacuum starting position 11 is set near the feeding star wheel 8 to ensure that the test chamber 3 is fully sealed; the first vacuum reading is spaced from the vacuum starting position 11 to stabilize the vacuum degree of the test chamber 3; the second vacuum reading is far away from the first vacuum reading to improve the detection sensitivity.

[0076] In the above detection method, the method for judging whether the vacuum degree change meets the preset value is: the vacuum degree of the test chamber 3 is detected twice at intervals, the difference delta between the first reading and the second reading is calculated, and the judgment is made according to the following method a) or b):

[0077] a) Simple algorithm: if delta≤set value, then there is no leakage in the sealed container 18; if delta>set value, then there is leakage in the sealed container 18;

[0078] b) Adaptive algorithm: If the average value of delta-delta is ≤ the set value, there is no leakage in the sealed container 18; if the average value of delta-delta is > the set value, there is leakage in the sealed container 18; wherein the average value of delta is the average value of the difference in each previous detection process.

[0079] The detection equipment can be integrated into the detection line, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the assembly line includes a material conveyor 5, a rejecting conveyor 6, a feed screw 7, a feed star wheel 8, a discharge star wheel 9 and a flexible rejecting mechanism 10 as well as the above-mentioned detection equipment.

[0080] With the detection equipment as the center, the material conveyor 5 is connected to the feed and discharge of the detection equipment through the feed star wheel 8 and the discharge star wheel 9, respectively, which are used to transport the sealed containers 18 to be inspected to the detection equipment and to transport the sealed containers 18 that have passed the inspection to the downstream process; the feed star wheel 8 and the discharge star wheel 9 keep synchronous rotation with the main turntable 1, and can form a meshing form through the sealed container 18 to ensure the normal and orderly loading and unloading of materials.

[0081] A rejection conveyor 6 is arranged parallel to the material conveyor 5, on one side of the material conveyor 5 and downstream of the discharge star wheel 9; a flexible rejection mechanism 10 is arranged on the other side of the material conveyor 5 and downstream of the discharge star wheel 9. Through the arrangement of the flexible rejection mechanism 10, the sealed containers 18 that do not meet the sealing performance requirements can be rejected from the material conveyor 5 to the rejection conveyor 6, and each is transported to the next process.

[0082] A feed screw 7 is arranged parallel to the material conveyor 5 on one side of the material conveyor 5 and upstream of the feed star wheel 8. The feed screw 7 also rotates synchronously with the main turntable 1, thereby controlling the feeding speed to be consistent with the detection speed and effectively controlling the distance between adjacent sealed containers 18.

[0083] The feed screw 7 and the feed star wheel cooperate with the main turntable 1 to input the material into the sealed container 18, and the power of the feed screw 7 and the feed star wheel 8 can both come from the main turntable 1; the discharge star wheel 9 cooperates with the main turntable 1 to output the material, and the power of the discharge star wheel 9 can come from the main turntable 1.
