[0037] During use, the valve 21 to be detected is hermetically installed in the first test cavity 10. When performing a leakage detection on the valve 21 from the outside to the inside, that is, a leakage detection from the inlet end to the outlet end of the valve 21, at this time, the first ventilation hole 31 serves as the air outlet hole and the second ventilation hole 32 serves as the air inlet hole; when performing a leakage detection on the valve 21 from the inside to the outside, that is, a leakage detection from the outlet end to the inlet end of the valve 21, at this time, the first ventilation hole 31 serves as the air inlet hole and the second ventilation hole 32 serves as the air outlet hole.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the first test cavity 10 includes a first bell jar 12 and a flange cover 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, a groove 122 for accommodating the sealing ring 121 is provided on the outer edge of the open ends of the first end and the second end of the first bell jar 12, and the shape of the cross-section of the groove 122 corresponds to the shape of the cross-section of the sealing ring 121.

[0040] Optionally, the sealing ring 121 is preferably made of nitrile rubber material to effectively improve the sealing performance between the first bell jar 12 and the second test cavity 20 and the flange cover 11, and avoid leakage of the test gas, which may affect the detection result of the valve 21.

[0041] Optionally, the sealing ring 121 is preferably an O-ring, a dovetail-shaped sealing ring or a V-shaped sealing ring, etc., and the groove correspondingly adopts an O-shaped groove, a dovetail-shaped groove or a V-shaped groove, etc., to further enhance the sealing performance between the first bell jar 12 and the second test cavity 20 and the flange cover 11.

[0042] In this embodiment, the flange cover 11 serves as the second end face of the first test cavity 10, and a second ventilation hole 32 is provided at the center of the flange cover 11. During use, when the valve 21 is subjected to an outward-to-inward leakage detection, the second ventilation hole 32 serves as the air inlet hole, and when the valve 21 is subjected to an inward-to-outward leakage detection, the second ventilation hole 32 serves as the air outlet hole.

[0043] In this embodiment, the fastener is a screw. A plurality of threaded holes 123 are provided on the outer edges of the open ends of the first and second ends of the first bell jar 12; a plurality of threaded holes 123 are also correspondingly provided on the first end of the second test cavity 20 and the flange cover 11. The outer edge of the open end of the first end of the first bell jar 12 is fixedly connected to the first end of the second test cavity 20, and the outer edge of the open end of the second end of the first bell jar 12 is fixedly connected to the flange cover 11 through a plurality of screws and threaded holes.

[0044] To further ensure the sealing performance of the connection, the pitch of the threaded holes is preferably M22 or M33, and an O-ring seal is provided between the screw and the threaded hole for further sealing.

[0045] In an alternative embodiment, the second test cavity 20 can accommodate the test gas. The second test cavity 20 is a second bell jar 13 with an I-shaped cross-section, and the second bell jar 13 adopts an integrally formed hollow tubular sealing structure. A plurality of mounting holes 33 are provided in the middle of the first end face of the second bell jar 13 for mounting the valve 21 to be tested and / or the sealing plug. The sealing plug is hermetically connected to the mounting hole 33 by threads; a plurality of threaded holes 123 are provided at the outer edge of the first end of the second bell jar 13. A first ventilation hole 31 is provided at the center of the first end face of the second bell jar 13; during use, when the valve 21 is subjected to an outward-to-inward leakage detection, the first ventilation hole 31 serves as the air outlet hole, and when the valve 21 is subjected to an inward-to-outward leakage detection, the first ventilation hole 31 serves as the air inlet hole.

[0046] In this embodiment, the diameters of the plurality of mounting holes 33 are different to be used for mounting and detecting valves 21 with different inner diameters.

[0047] Among them, each mounting hole 33 is a stepped threaded hole. The large diameter of the stepped threaded hole is a threaded sealing hole for connecting with the valve 21 to be tested and / or the sealing plug, and the small diameter is a smooth hole; the mounting hole 33 is connected to the outlet end of the valve 21 to be tested. To ensure the sealing performance, a sealing ring can be provided between them.

[0048] In this embodiment, the sealing plug is preferably made of nitrile rubber material. Through the sealing plug, it can be ensured that the first test cavity 10 and the second test cavity 20 are not connected, and the two test cavities are two independent spaces, so that the air inlet hole and the air outlet hole during the test are not connected, effectively ensuring the sealing performance and accuracy of the test.

[0049] In the above embodiments, a partition can also be provided between the second test cavity 20 and the first test cavity 10 to further ensure that the two test cavities are two independent spaces.

[0050] In the above embodiments, the first bell jar 12, the flange cover 11 and the second bell jar 13 in the first test cavity 10 and the second test cavity 20 are all made of aluminum alloy material, which is light in weight and can meet the test pressure requirement of outward leakage of 3.5 MPa at the same time.

[0051] In the above embodiments, an air tank or a airtightness detection device is connected at the first ventilation hole 31 and the second ventilation hole 32. When the valve 21 performs an outward-to-inward leakage detection, the second ventilation hole 32 is connected to the gas source to supply the detection gas into the first test cavity 10, and the first ventilation hole 31 is connected to the leak rate detection device to detect and display the result in real time. When performing an inward-to-outward leakage detection on the valve 21, the first ventilation hole 31 is connected to the gas source to supply the detection gas into the second test cavity 20, and the second ventilation hole 32 is connected to the leak rate detection device to detect and display the result in real time to determine whether there is leakage.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the detection gas can be helium, and its maximum pressure is 3.5 MPa.

[0053] In summary, when the present utility model is used, the operation is simple, it can realize the detection of a batch of valves, and can realize the outward-to-inward leakage and inward-to-outward leakage detections, avoiding the repeated and cumbersome disassembly and assembly operations.
