After 150 seconds, the system automatically stops vacuuming and performs vacuum degree detection. If it does not reach 100Pa within 1 minute, the system will sound and light alarms to indicate that the vacuuming is unqualified. After vacuuming, close the vacuum solenoid valve and start the pressure holding test. The pressure holding time is set to 10 seconds. Check the pressure during the pressure holding process. If the pressure is lower than 250P after 10 seconds of pressure holding a. The system will display an audible and visual prompt of "OK", indicating that the test is qualified. Otherwise, the system will issue an audible and visual alarm to indicate that it is unqualified. During the pressure holding process, the system will test the sealing of the vacuum solenoid valve and sample the current vacuum degree to determine whether there is a leak. If the vacuum pressure drops during the pressure holding process, or does not rise at all, the system will issue an audible and visual alarm to indicate that there is a leak in the solenoid valve. After the test is completed, the system will continue to open the solenoid valve and perform subsequent vacuuming operations, displaying the vacuum degree curve in real time. After confirming that the system is normal, the operator presses the stop button 6 to end the work. The system automatically records all data during the vacuuming and testing process to provide a basis for subsequent analysis. The operator can make necessary adjustments and optimizations based on the system prompts and records.
