Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of workpiece sealing detection, and more specifically, particularly relates to a duckbill type vacuum box for airtightness detection. Background Art
[0002] The vacuum box airtightness leak detection method uses helium as the tracer gas, evacuates the vacuum box, and fills the workpiece placed in the vacuum box with positive pressure helium. If the workpiece has a leak, helium will leak into the vacuum box, and the helium leak detector can determine whether the workpiece has a leak.
[0003] The vacuum box is a particularly important component in the air tightness testing process. It not only needs to have a good background and very little gas accumulation to ensure the vacuum box's evacuation efficiency, but also needs to have a certain pressure-bearing strength to ensure that the box does not deform when an extremely low vacuum is drawn. The door opening mechanism of the vacuum box also needs to be safe and stable, with reliable sealing to ensure leak detection accuracy.
[0004] The existing vacuum box generally adopts a square structure (such as CN116792009A, CN203141038U), and uses a flat plate of a certain thickness as a single door. Its pressure-bearing strength is insufficient, and it is often necessary to thicken the door plate and weld a lot of reinforcing ribs. When the size of the workpiece to be inspected is too large, the size of the box body needs to be relatively enlarged, which is not convenient for manually placing the workpiece to be inspected. The manual door opening mechanism has poor stability, and the structure needs to be pre-tightened before the box is closed and vacuumed each time. The sealing performance of the leak detection is difficult to ensure. The manual door opening and closing structure not only affects the detection rhythm, but also cannot guarantee safety.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a vacuum box with high reliability. Utility Model Content
