Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a helium detection technology, in particular to a helium detection tooling for automotive air suspensions. Background Art
[0002] With the rise of the automotive industry and the upgrade of consumption, the air suspension system has emerged, which not only improves the comfort of the vehicle but also takes into account the passing performance of off-road vehicles. According to different road conditions and the signals of distance sensors, the vehicle computer will judge the change in the body height, and then control the air compressor and exhaust valves to automatically compress or extend the spring, thereby reducing or increasing the ground clearance of the chassis to improve the stability of the vehicle at high speeds or the passing performance on complex road conditions. The research and development and manufacturing technology of the air suspension system have also become an important part of the development of mid- to high-end vehicles. The quality of the air suspension also plays a key role in the safe and stable operation of the vehicle. The air suspension housing is a hollow product with an air passage left in the middle, so higher requirements are imposed on airtightness. The traditional detection method is water detection, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the accuracy is not high. Specifically: relying on workers to manually place the workpiece on the tooling, put it into water, and fill a certain pressure of gas at the bottom of the workpiece to detect whether there are bubbles at various positions of the workpiece to determine the leakage situation. This detection method is inefficient, consumes a large amount of manpower and material resources, and it is difficult to ensure the sealing effect of the manual pressing method. Therefore, a stable, easy-to-operate and automatically sealed gas detection tooling is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] In order to solve the above deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a helium detection tooling for automotive air suspensions, which can quickly complete the helium detection procedure and meet the requirements of rapid leak detection in modern industrial production lines.

The positioning unit is adapted to the main body part of the automotive air suspension, and the sealing unit is adapted to the branch pipe part of the automotive air suspension, so that when detecting the leakage of the automotive air suspension, the main body part of the automotive air suspension is sleeved in the positioning unit and supported by the positioning unit, and the branch pipe part of the automotive air suspension is sleeved in the sealing unit and sealed by the sealing unit;
[0006] The inside of the sealing unit has a helium filling channel communicating with the branch pipe part of the automotive air suspension;
[0007] The pneumatic pressing assembly is arranged above the positioning and sealing assembly.
[0008] Optionally, the positioning unit includes a positioning flange, a floating head, and a positioning tooling. The positioning flange is fixedly installed in the bottom plate, and the positioning tooling is connected to the positioning flange through the floating head.
