Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooler leakage detection, in particular to an EGR cooler leakage detection device. Background Art
[0002] Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a key emissions reduction technology in modern internal combustion engines. By reintroducing a portion of the exhaust gas into the intake system, it lowers the combustion temperature and thus reduces the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The function of the EGR cooler is to cool the recirculated exhaust gas. Cooled exhaust gas can more effectively reduce combustion temperatures, further enhancing NOx reduction. Leaks in the EGR cooler can not only affect emissions reduction effectiveness but can also lead to reduced engine performance and poor fuel economy. EGR coolers typically have a complex internal structure, including multiple cooling channels, air inlets and outlets, and cooling medium lines, requiring leak detection equipment.
[0003] In existing EGR cooler leak detection equipment, the clamping device and the sealing device are usually designed and operated separately. This means that when performing a leak detection operation, it is necessary to first use the clamping device to fix the cooler, and then install the sealing device to seal the interface of the cooler. This step-by-step operation method is not only cumbersome and increases operation time and labor costs, but also prone to human errors during multiple operations, resulting in unstable sealing effects; existing EGR cooler leak detection equipment is often difficult to accurately control the clamping force when clamping the cooler. If the clamping force is too large, it will cause damage to the interface plate of the cooler. The interface plate of the cooler is usually the main component to ensure sealing, and its ability to withstand pressure is limited. When the clamping force exceeds its tolerance range, the entry and exit plates may deform, crack, etc., thereby affecting the normal use of the cooler. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide an EGR cooler leak detection device.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an EGR cooler leak detection device includes a leak detection platform, four support columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of the leak detection platform, stress beams are fixedly connected between the support columns, the back of the leak detection platform is fixedly connected to the cylinder frame, the top of the cylinder frame is provided with a clamping sealing mechanism, the middle part of the top of the leak detection platform is fixedly connected to a clamping recess, the cooler body is movably connected to the clamping recess, the top of the leak detection platform is fixedly connected to a bracket, and the top of the bracket is fixedly connected to a detector.
[0006] As described above, the clamping and sealing mechanism includes a cylinder, inside which a telescopic rod is slidably connected. A buffer chamber is provided inside the telescopic rod. A limiting disc is slidably connected inside the buffer chamber. A spring is provided between one side of the limiting disc and the bottom of the buffer chamber. The other side of the limiting disc is fixedly connected to a clamping rod, and the other end of the clamping rod is fixedly connected to a clamping plate. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the clamping plate, and two guide rods are fixedly connected to the clamping plate on one side of the clamping rod.
[0007] As described above, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the clamping recess. Two guide holes adapted to the guide rods are provided on the guide plate. A U-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the clamping recess.
[0008] As described above, an interface plate is fixedly connected to the cooler body. A number of interfaces are provided on the interface plate. A number of fastening plates are fixedly connected to the cooler body. An internal expansion opening is provided on the cooler body.
[0009] As described above, a telescopic chamber is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket. A telescopic tube is provided inside the telescopic chamber. One end of the telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the detector, and the other end of the telescopic tube is fixedly connected to an inflation head. A magnetic attraction ring one is fixedly connected to the telescopic chamber, and a magnetic attraction ring two is fixedly connected to the inflation head.
[0010] As described above, a taking groove is provided on the inflation head. An outer sealing sleeve is fixedly connected to the inflation head. A plug rod is fixedly connected inside the outer sealing sleeve, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the plug rod.
[0011] The technical solution provided by the present utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0012] First, by providing a rubber ring around the clamping plate in the present utility model, when the cylinder is started to clamp the interface plate on the cooler body with the clamping plate, the sealing ring made of rubber acts on the periphery of the surface of the interface plate, ensuring the sealing performance at the interface plate, and at the same time clamping the cooler body. After integrating the clamping and sealing functions, when performing the EGR cooler leak detection operation, there is no need to first perform the clamping operation and then the sealing operation like traditional equipment, but it can be done in one step. This greatly reduces the operation steps and time, and improves the efficiency of the overall detection process.
[0013] Second, by providing a buffer chamber inside the telescopic rod in the present utility model, when the cylinder is started to move the telescopic rod, after the clamping plate contacts the cooler body, the spring will be compressed due to the pressure, and finally the telescopic rod contacts the guide plate and stops moving. At this time, the pressure source for pressing the interface plate is the elastic force of the spring, which can ensure that the interface plate will not be damaged under excessive external force. This not only reduces the maintenance and replacement costs caused by the damage of the cooler, but also improves the service life and reliability of the cooler. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
