Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sealing performance of die castings, and in particular relates to a gas-liquid detection device for sealing performance of die castings. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum alloy die-casting is a widely used manufacturing technology, used in various industries, including furniture, home appliances, automobiles, aircraft, ships, and construction machinery. Aluminum alloy die-casting parts are typically formed using high-speed and high-pressure die-casting. Due to the characteristics of this molding method, aluminum alloy die-casting parts may exhibit defects such as loose internal structure, porosity, and surface cracks.
[0003] To prevent defective aluminum alloy die-castings from leaking, airtightness testing is currently the primary method used. This involves sealing the product using a tooling system, then filling the die-casting with gas at a set pressure. The pressure drop over a specific time interval is then measured to determine if the die-casting contains defects such as pinholes, pores, and surface cracks. This method can effectively detect quality issues in aluminum alloy die-castings, improving their overall quality and reliability.
[0004] However, although this airtightness test method can detect whether aluminum alloy die-castings are qualified, it cannot determine the location of defects in unqualified products and cannot repair leaking products to reduce production costs. Utility Model Content

[0042] In this embodiment, when performing a sealing test on the product 100, the product 100 is placed on the test plate 1, pressed by the pressing device 2, and the holes on the side wall of the product 100 are blocked by the sealing device 3, thereby forming a cavity between the product 100 and the product placement area 111.

[0043] In this embodiment, when performing a sealing test, the lifting device 5 can lift the detection plate 1 so that the product 100 is located above the liquid surface. In this way, when the product 100 passes the test, the qualified product will not be soaked; when an unqualified product is detected, the lifting device 5 drives the detection plate 1 to descend so that the product 100 is immersed in the liquid, so that the leakage point can be observed and confirmed.
[0044] See also Figure 1 Optionally, the lifting device 5 includes four lifting cylinders 51, which are respectively arranged under the four corners of the detection plate 1.
