Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile shock absorbers, in particular to a flexible leakage testing device for shock absorbers. Background Art

[0002] As the market demands increasingly higher sealing performance for shock absorbers, dry leak testers are being introduced more and more frequently. Dry leak testers also have particularly high requirements for temperature and measurement time, so they need to be combined with air cooling and water cooling to meet temperature conditions before testing. Integrating these mechanisms is an essential step in the leak testing process. Traditional dry leak testers require at least two people to spend more than 25 seconds to cool the shock absorber to the required temperature, while water cooling stations often rely on manual measurement of water temperature, liquid level, and anti-rust effect. This is inefficient and requires workers to frequently contact the workpiece, posing significant safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a flexible leak testing device for a shock absorber. The device is carried by a robot and only requires technicians to load the materials. The device automatically performs air cooling, water cooling, leak testing, and unloading. At the same time, temperature sensors and sugar meters are used for monitoring during air cooling and water cooling. The water level is monitored in real time. The double-station leak testing machine is switched alternately to save loading time. Finally, the product is transported to the unloading station for further transportation and inspection.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a flexible leak test device for a shock absorber is designed, comprising a frame, a dry leak tester, and a solenoid valve. A profile changing positioning bar is provided above the frame, a guide rail is provided on one side of the profile changing positioning bar, a clamping and centering mechanism is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the clamping and centering mechanism is fixed to the profile changing positioning bar by a pull pin. A clamping cylinder structure is provided at one end of the guide rail, and the clamping cylinder structure is fixed to the frame. The other end of the guide rail is slidably connected to the leak test core rod structure, the leak test core rod structure is connected to the solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is connected to the dry leak tester.

[0005] The leak testing device is a double-station structure.

[0006] There are two guide rails in total.

[0007] The clamping and centering mechanism is a double-claw claw-shaped structure, and there are two clamping and centering mechanisms in total, and two clamping claws are respectively provided at the top end.

[0008] A shock absorber workpiece is fixed on the clamping and centering mechanism, and one end of the shock absorber workpiece is inserted into the pressing cylinder structure.

[0009] The leak testing core rod hungry structure is connected to the leak testing core rod transplanting cylinder.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the utility model can realize single-person loading, and the handling claws and tooling fixtures can be quickly replaced to achieve the production capacity of more products on the same line. Through air cooling and water cooling, automatic monitoring of temperature, rust prevention, liquid level, time, etc. can be achieved. The double station for leak testing saves waiting time for loading, and unloading can realize dual interface switching between robot and manual, which is more guaranteed for the yield rate.
