[0020] Embodiment

[0021] As Figure 1 shown, the airtight test equipment of the present utility model applicable to the aircraft fire control radar includes a gas supply source 1, a drying pipe 2, a gas filter 3, a control valve 4, an intake switch 5, and a regulating valve 6 connected in sequence through an elastic hose. The regulating valve 6 is connected to the fire control radar 10 of the aircraft through a gas transmission pipeline, and an intake pressure gauge 7 is provided between the intake switch 5 and the regulating valve 6, and a test pressure gauge 8 is provided between the regulating valve 6 and the fire control radar 10. When the fire control radar 10 needs to conduct an airtightness test, the gas provided by the gas supply source 1 first flows through the drying pipe 2 and the gas filter 3 for drying and filtering treatment, then flows through the control valve 4 and the intake switch 5, and finally enters the fire control radar 10 through the regulating valve 6. When the monitored value of the test pressure gauge 8 reaches the preset value, the intake switch 5 is closed, and the pressure change of the test pressure gauge 8 is observed to judge the airtightness of the fire control radar 10.

[0022] In other embodiments, both the intake pressure gauge 7 and the test pressure gauge 8 are integrated on the regulating valve 6, realizing the trinity of the regulating valve 6, the intake pressure gauge 7, and the test pressure gauge 8, which is more conducive to simplifying the structural composition of the equipment and improving the convenience of equipment use and handling.

[0023] In this embodiment, the main structure of the airtight test equipment is composed of a gas supply source 1, a drying pipe 2, a gas filter 3, a control valve 4, an intake switch 5, and a regulating valve 6 connected in sequence. It has the advantages of compact structure, cost saving, and portability. Connecting the regulating valve 6 to the fire control radar 10 of the aircraft through a gas transmission pipeline completes the connection between the airtight test equipment and the radar to be tested, which is simple and reliable. At the same time, an intake pressure gauge 7 is provided between the intake switch 5 and the regulating valve 6 to monitor the intake pressure provided by the gas supply source 1 in real time, and a test pressure gauge 8 is provided between the regulating valve 6 and the fire control radar 10 to achieve real-time pressure monitoring. When the fire control radar 10 needs to conduct an airtightness test, the gas provided by the gas supply source 1 first flows through the drying pipe 2 and the gas filter 3 for drying and filtering treatment to reduce the damage of the gas to the radar equipment. Then it flows through the control valve 4 and the intake switch 5, and finally the gas pressure is adjusted to the preset value by the regulating valve 6 and then enters the fire control radar 10 to ensure the pressure safety of the fire control radar 10. When the monitored value of the test pressure gauge 8 reaches the preset value, the intake switch 5 is closed, and the pressure change of the test pressure gauge 8 is observed to judge the airtightness of the fire control radar 10. The airtight test equipment of the present utility model can conduct radar airtightness tests at any time and place, and the air pressure can be monitored at any time, which greatly facilitates the maintenance work of the radar.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, an exhaust switch 9 is connected in parallel on the gas transmission pipeline between the regulating valve 6 and the fire control radar 10. When the airtightness test of the fire control radar 10 is completed, the exhaust switch 9 is used to empty the gas in the fire control radar 10.

[0025] In this embodiment, the gas supply source 1 is a pump. By using the pump to supply gas, the gas source equipment is integrated, reducing the volume and weight of the equipment, saving costs, being portable, facilitating airtightness tests at any time and place, saving labor and material costs, meeting the test requirements of different sites, and solving the problem of inconvenient handling of the gas source. The drying pipe 2 and the gas filter 3 can adopt the conventional settings in the art. The drying pipe 2 can dry the moisture in the gas to reduce the influence of moisture on the radar equipment, and the gas filter 3 can intercept the tiny particles in the gas to prevent the tiny particles from entering the radar equipment to ensure the safety of the radar equipment. In other embodiments, the gas supply source 1 can adopt an electric air pump, and the electric air pump needs to be powered by an external power supply, and the cost of manufacturing the equipment will increase accordingly.

[0026] In this embodiment, the control valve 4 is a one-way valve to prevent gas from flowing back during gas supply and ensure that the air pressure safely reaches the specified value.

[0027] In this embodiment, the regulating valve 6 is a pressure reducing valve, which is used to reduce the gas pressure to a pressure range suitable for the airtight test of the aircraft radar, ensure the safety of the supply air pressure, and protect the film on the radar antenna panel from being damaged due to uncontrollable pressure.

[0028] In this embodiment, both the intake switch 5 and the exhaust switch 9 are ball valves, which have the characteristics of compact structure, convenient installation and simple operation control.

[0029] The working principle of the airtight test equipment in this embodiment is as follows: The airtight test equipment is connected to the radar test object, and gas is injected into the radar. When the air pressure reaches the process specified value, the control switch is closed to maintain the gas pressure inside the test object. If the air pressure drop does not exceed the specified value within the specified time, the airtightness of the radar in the test object meets the requirements.

[0030] The working process of the airtight test equipment in this embodiment is as follows: When in use, connect the tail end air outlet of the regulating valve 6 in the airtight test equipment to the fire control radar test object, close the exhaust switch 9, open the intake switch 5, and set the pressure setting value of the regulating valve 6 to 0.1 MPa. During the test, press the air pump, and after the gas is dried by the drying pipe 2, it enters the air filter 3 for gas filtration, and then enters the control valve 4 and the intake switch 5, and then enters the regulating valve 6; observe the gas pressure of the test pressure gauge 8. When the gas pressure in the pipeline and the test object reaches the set value, close the intake switch 5. Keep this state until the process specified time, check whether the airtightness of the radar meets the requirements through the pressure change of the test pressure gauge 8. After the inspection is completed, open the exhaust switch 9 to empty the gas in the radar test object, and disconnect the connection between the radar test object and the airtight test equipment, and the entire radar airtight test is completed.

[0031] The airtight test equipment of the present utility model integrates the gas source and the equipment, which is small, light and easy to carry, and can perform airtight tests anytime and anywhere, meeting the working requirements of the outfield of the flight test station. The gas source uses an air pump to supply gas, removing the trouble of carrying steel gas cylinders, saving costs and eliminating the time for preparation work. A drying pipe 2 and a gas filter 3 are installed inside the equipment, which can dry the gas and remove particulate impurities, reducing the entry of gas moisture and particulate matter, effectively extending the service life of the aircraft radar, and thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the radar.

[0032] Although the present utility model is disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present utility model by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the spirit and technical solution of the present utility model. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent replacement, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present utility model.
