Technical Field

[0001] The utility model application belongs to the technical field of water pipe air tightness detection, and specifically relates to a water pipe air tightness detection tool. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of automobile oil coolers, operators need to test the sealing of the water inlet and outlet pipes of the oil coolers. Specifically, a certain pressure of gas (such as helium, air, etc.) is introduced into the water inlet pipe, and then the leakage of gas during the ventilation process is calculated to test the sealing of the water pipe. Fig.11 As shown, the water pipe to be tested is usually installed in the testing fixture, and then the operator tightens the bolts so that the bottom of the bolts firmly presses against the fixing block to fix the water pipe.

[0003] However, the prior art has the following problems: in order to ensure that the water pipe is firmly installed in the tooling and prevent it from popping out of the tooling when the test gas is introduced, the operator must completely tighten the bolts. Therefore, each operation process of testing the sealing of a water pipe is very time-consuming and laborious. At the same time, during the testing process, the product is easily bumped when it is taken in and placed in the tooling.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design a new testing tool to overcome the problems existing in the prior art - on the basis of ensuring that the testing tool is firmly connected to the water pipe to be tested, it can simplify the installation steps, reduce the labor intensity of the operator during the installation process, and avoid bumps on the core surface, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving installation efficiency and product quality, and ultimately achieving the goal of improving economic benefits.

[0044] The first installation groove 203 is formed on the other end surface of the air guide block 2 and is used for connecting and installing with the water inlet pipe 6;

[0045] The flow channel 201 is formed inside the air guide block 2, and the flow channel 201 connects the air pipe joint 202 with the first installation groove 203;

[0046] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the connection fixture 1 includes: a bottom plate 101 and a top plate 102, the bottom plate 101 is formed with a first opening 101a, the first opening 101a is used to accommodate the water inlet pipe 6, the bottom plate 101 is fixedly connected to the top plate 102 through the side plate 103; Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the bottom plate 101 and the top plate 102 are used to place and clamp the air guide block 2 and the water inlet pipe 6; the lower end surface of the top plate 102 abuts against the upper end surface of the air guide block 2, and the upper end surface of the bottom plate 101 abuts against the lower end surface of the tube drum 601 of the water inlet pipe 6.

[0047] In the above technical solution, the water inlet pipe 6 is inserted into the air guide block 2, and then the two are placed in the connecting fixture 1. In the design of the connecting fixture 1, the distance between the top plate 102 and the bottom plate 101 is just enough to accommodate the installed water inlet pipe 6 and the air guide block 2, that is, the lower end surface of the top plate 102 abuts against the upper end surface of the air guide block 2, and the upper end surface of the bottom plate 101 abuts against the lower end surface of the tube drum 601 of the water inlet pipe 6, and the top plate 102 and the bottom plate 101 firmly clamp the air guide block 2 and the water inlet pipe 6. Compared with the prior art, Fig.11 As shown, it is only necessary to use the connection fixture 1 to clamp the air guide block 2 and the water inlet pipe 6, and no other workpieces are needed. Moreover, the operator no longer needs to spend time and effort to tighten the bolts to ensure that the bolts are firmly against the fixing block to fix the water pipe, so as to prevent it from popping out of the tooling when the gas is introduced, causing an accident.

Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the connection mode of the water inlet pipe 6 and the water outlet pipe 5 on the car oil cooler is usually to be installed on the same end surface of the air guide block 2, so a second opening 101b is formed on the bottom plate 101 for accommodating the water outlet pipe 5. In some corresponding embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Fig. 9 As shown, the air guide block 2 also includes: a second mounting groove 204, which is made on the same end surface as the first mounting groove 203 and is used to connect the water outlet pipe 5; an exhaust core 3 is installed in the second mounting groove 204, and the second mounting groove 204 is sealed and connected to the water outlet pipe 5 through the exhaust core 3. The detection gas enters the oil cooler 8 from the water inlet pipe 6, and the gas passes through the oil cooler 8 and is discharged from the water outlet pipe 5 and enters the exhaust core 3, which is a component specially used for sealing.

[0052] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the exhaust core 3 is a cylindrical structure with an inner cavity, and further includes: a second socket 301, which is formed at one end of the exhaust core 3 and is used to insert the water outlet pipe 5. In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, a second placement groove 302 for accommodating the sealing ring 4 is formed in the inner cavity of the air intake core 7, which has the same effect as placing the sealing ring 4 in the inner cavity of the air intake core 7, so that the sealing effect is better, the detection effect is more accurate, and the quality control of the product is more precise.

[0053] In this embodiment, the air intake core 7 and the air guide block 2, as well as the exhaust core 3 and the air guide block 2, are installed by threads. This connection is firm and detachable, and the usage is more flexible.

[0054] In this embodiment, the gas guide block 2 and the connection fixture 1 are both made of brass, which is a very suitable material because of its high strength, high hardness, strong chemical corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand a certain pressure of compressed gas.

[0058] S3. After the ventilation is completed, the sealing performance of the water inlet pipe 6 and the water outlet pipe 5 is determined according to the helium leakage displayed on the controller;

[0059] S4. After the inspection is completed, the inspection tool, the water inlet pipe 6, the oil cooler 8, and the water outlet pipe 5 are disassembled, and the next group of water pipes are inspected.
