[0019] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model, rather than limiting the utility model. Additionally, it should be noted that for ease of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the drawings.

[0020] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0021] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model discloses a leak detection tooling for an automotive controller housing. This leak detection tooling can achieve rapid workpiece picking and placing, thereby improving the leak detection efficiency. The leak detection tooling includes a vacuum chamber 100 and a workpiece positioning assembly 200, a workpiece pressing assembly 300, a sealing pressing assembly 400, and an inflation assembly 500 disposed within the vacuum chamber 100. Among them, the workpiece pressing assembly 300 is disposed above the workpiece positioning assembly 200, and the sealing pressing assembly 400 and the inflation assembly 500 are respectively located on both sides of the workpiece positioning assembly 200.

[0022] In the present utility model, the workpiece positioning assembly 200 is used to place the workpiece. After the workpiece is placed, the workpiece is positioned in the workpiece positioning assembly 200 by the workpiece pressing assembly 300. Specifically, the workpiece positioning assembly 200 includes a bottom plate 210 and a sealing plate 220. The sealing plate 220 is used to seal the opening of the workpiece. When placing the workpiece, the opening of the workpiece faces the sealing plate 220. The sealing plate 220 and the bottom plate 210 are fixedly connected by screws. An inflation channel (not shown in the figure) is further provided within the bottom plate 210. The inflation channel is used to supplement helium into the workpiece to facilitate helium leak detection. The inflation channel has an air inlet and an air outlet. Its air outlet is communicated with the inner cavity of the workpiece, and the air inlet is matched with the inflation assembly so that when the leak detection program is started, the inflation assembly is docked with the air inlet to complete the helium filling process. In an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing plate 220 for the workpiece, a sealing gasket 230 can be provided on the sealing plate 220. Since the air outlet of the inflation channel needs to be communicated with the workpiece, inflation ports are provided in both the sealing plate 220 and the sealing gasket 230. At the same time, a sealing ring can be connected between the inflation port and the air outlet of the inflation channel to ensure the sealing performance.

[0023] In the present utility model, as Figure 1As shown, a linear slide rail 240 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vacuum chamber 100. The bottom plate 210 is slidably connected in the linear slide rail 240. The linear slide rail 240 is perpendicular to the door of the vacuum chamber 100. This facilitates the workpiece positioning assembly 200 to enter and exit the vacuum chamber 100 through the linear slide rail 240. When placing and removing the workpiece, the bottom plate 210 can be slid out of the vacuum chamber along the linear slide rail 240. During helium leak detection, the bottom plate 210 retracts into the vacuum chamber 100. Through this setting, it is convenient to pick up and place the workpiece, thereby improving the leak detection efficiency. In addition, in order to facilitate the movement of the bottom plate 210, a propulsion cylinder (not shown in the figure) can be installed on one side of the vacuum chamber 100 relative to the door. The output end of the propulsion cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 210. The bottom plate 210 is pushed out of the vacuum chamber 100 or pulled back into the vacuum chamber 100 by the propulsion cylinder.

[0024] In the present utility model, the workpiece pressing assembly 300 is used to apply pressure to the workpiece so that the opening of the workpiece can be closely docked with the gasket 230 to prevent air leakage from the opening of the workpiece. As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the workpiece pressing assembly 300 includes a pressing cylinder 310, a pressing plate 320, a pressing head 330, and a guide post 340. Among them, the pressing cylinder 310 is fixedly installed at the top of the vacuum chamber 100, and the output end of the pressing cylinder 310 extends into the vacuum chamber 100 and is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 320. The pressing heads 330 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 320. The guide posts 340 are distributed at the four corner positions inside the vacuum chamber 100 and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the vacuum chamber 100. The four corners of the pressing plate 320 are respectively slidably connected to the four guide posts 340, so that the pressing plate 320 moves up and down along the guide posts 340 through the pressing cylinder 310, thereby applying a pressing force to the workpiece by the pressing heads 330.

[0025] In the present utility model, the sealing and pressing assembly 400 is used to press and seal the inlet and outlet of the workpiece to ensure the sealing performance of the workpiece after pressing. As Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the sealing and pressing assembly 400 includes a sealing cylinder 410, a connecting plate 420, a fixing plate 430, a sealing head 440 and a guide rod 450. Among them, the fixing plate 430 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the bottom plate 210. One end of the guide rod 450 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 420, and the other end is slidably connected to the fixing plate 430. The sealing head 440 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the connecting plate 420 away from the sealing cylinder 410. The sealing cylinder 410 is fixedly installed on the side of the vacuum chamber 100, and the output end of the sealing cylinder 410 extends into the vacuum chamber 100. When the sealing head 440 performs the sealing process, the output end of the sealing cylinder 410 abuts against the connecting plate 420. Through this setting, when the output end of the sealing cylinder 410 is in a non-leak detection process, it is separated from the connecting plate 420, and when the leak detection process is performed, the output end of the sealing cylinder 410 abuts against the connecting plate 420, thereby driving the connecting plate 420 to move towards the workpiece, so that the sealing head 440 seals the inlet and outlet of the workpiece. In addition, in the present utility model, in order to facilitate the separation of the sealing head 440 from the workpiece after the output end of the sealing cylinder 410 retracts, a spring 460 can be connected between the connecting plate 420 and the fixing plate 430.

[0026] In the present utility model, the inflation assembly 500 is used to inflate helium into the inflation channel so that helium can enter the inner cavity of the workpiece. The inflation assembly 500 is fixed on the opposite side of the sealing cylinder 410. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the inflation assembly 500 includes an inflation cylinder 510 and an inflation rod 520. A gas channel is provided inside the inflation rod 520, and the inflation rod 520 is connected to the output end of the inflation cylinder 510. One end of the inflation rod 520 is connected to a helium source, and the other end is disposed inside the vacuum chamber 100. When performing the helium leak detection procedure, it is necessary to inflate the inner cavity of the workpiece. Therefore, when inflating, the end of the inflation rod 520 is butted against the air inlet of the inflation channel. After the helium leak detection is completed, the end of the inflation rod 520 is separated from the air inlet of the inflation channel, so as to facilitate the movement of the bottom plate 210 to the outside of the vacuum chamber 100, thereby facilitating the removal of the workpiece.
