[0003] The above patent can be used to more quickly position and automatically clamp the shock absorber on an air leak tester during leak testing, so that the test pressure head can be accurately pressed down and into place, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test results.
[0004] However, the above patent still has the following defects:
[0005] The above patent uses a tension spring to connect the clamp arm, and uses the elastic potential energy of the tension spring as the kinetic energy of the clamp arm to clamp the shock absorber. Therefore, the setting of the tension spring requires a certain space to ensure that the tension spring can be stretched or compressed, and the clamping effect of the clamp arm will change with the elasticity of the tension spring, making the above clamping tooling unsuitable for multi-station leak testing equipment; and if the elastic limit of the tension spring is exceeded during the clamping process, the clamping effect will become worse and worse, so the quality of the tension spring needs to be checked frequently and it needs to be replaced regularly, which affects work efficiency and increases the cost of leak testing.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a shock absorber leak testing device disclosed herein includes a frame 10;
[0024] The frame 10 has a number of leak testing stations, each of which is provided with a clamping mechanism 20 and a leak testing mechanism 30;
[0025] The clamping mechanism 20 includes a clamping assembly, a first driving member, and a second driving member; the clamping assembly includes a first clamping arm 201 and a second clamping arm 202, a first clamping jaw 203 and a second clamping jaw 204, and a first clamping block 205 and a second clamping block 206. The first clamping arm 201 is connected to the first driving member, and the second clamping arm 202 is connected to the second driving member. The first clamping jaw 203 is rotatably connected to the first clamping arm 201 or the second clamping arm 202, and the second clamping jaw 204 is rotatably connected to the second clamping arm 202 or the first clamping arm 201. The first clamping block 205 is connected to the first clamping jaw 203 or the second clamping jaw 204, and the second clamping block 206 is connected to the second clamping jaw 204 or the first clamping jaw 203. The clamping assembly is used to clamp the shock absorber.
[0026] The leak testing mechanism 30 includes a sealing pressure head 301, an air source and a lifting mechanism 302. The sealing pressure head 301 is connected to the air source and a valve body is provided at the connection between the sealing pressure head 301 and the air source.
[0027] The lifting mechanism 302 includes a third driving member and a lifting block. The third driving member is connected to the lifting block. The lifting block is movably arranged on the leak testing station along the height direction of the frame 10 and is connected to the sealing pressure head 301.
[0028] Specifically, the first driving member (not shown in the figure) can be a servo motor or a pneumatic cylinder. Similarly, the second driving member (not shown in the figure) can be a servo motor or a pneumatic cylinder.
[0029] The clamping assembly includes a first clamping arm 201 and a second clamping arm 202 that are oppositely disposed, a first clamping jaw 203 and a second clamping jaw 204 that are oppositely disposed, and a first clamping block 205 and a second clamping block 206 that are oppositely disposed.
[0030] Exemplarily, the first clamping arm 201 is connected to the first driving member, the second clamping arm 202 is connected to the second driving member, and the end of the first clamping arm 201 is rotatably connected to the first clamping jaw 203. Specifically, a connecting groove is opened in the middle of the end of the first clamping arm 201, and first connecting holes are formed on both sides of the end of the first clamping arm 201 along the direction of the connecting groove. The first clamping jaw 203 has two, and a second connecting hole is formed on the first clamping jaw 203 along its thickness direction. The first clamping jaw 203 is rotatably connected to the first clamping arm 201 through the first connecting block. Specifically, the first connecting block is in the shape of an "I", that is, connecting parts are extended outward at both ends of the first connecting block, the connecting part at one end passes through the first connecting hole on the first clamping arm 201 and is connected to the first clamping arm 201, and the connecting part at the other end passes through the second connecting hole and is connected to the two first clamping jaws 203. More specifically, the inner side surface of the first connecting hole and the inner side surface of the second connecting hole are coated with damping paint, so that the first clamping arm 201 and the first clamping jaw 203 can be rotated steplessly, which is convenient for the staff to adjust.
[0031] The first clamping block 205 is in the shape of an I-shape, and a T-shaped clamping groove is formed on the first clamping jaw 203. One end of the first clamping block 205 is adapted to be clamped with the clamping groove, and the other end is formed with a V-shaped groove. The surface of the V-shaped groove is polished with sandpaper to increase the friction of the V-shaped groove.
[0032] The connection mode between the second clamping arm 202 and the second clamping jaw 204 , and the connection mode between the second clamping jaw 204 and the second clamping block 206 are the same as the connection mode between the first clamping arm 201 and the first clamping jaw 203 , and the connection mode between the first clamping jaw 203 and the first clamping block 205 .
[0033] By sanding the V-grooves of the first clamping block 205 and the second clamping block 206 , the friction coefficient of the surface of the V-grooves is increased, thereby improving the stability of the clamping.
[0034] The leakage testing mechanism 30 includes a sealing pressure head 301, an air source and a lifting mechanism 302. The sealing pressure head 301 is connected to the air source and a valve body is provided at the connection point between the sealing pressure head 301 and the air source. For example, the valve body can be a solenoid valve, an electric valve or a manual valve. The valve body is used to control the connection between the air source and the sealing pressure head 301.
[0035] The lifting mechanism 302 includes a third driving member and a lifting block. The third driving member is connected to the lifting block. The lifting block is movable along the height direction of the frame 10 and is set on the leak testing station, and the lifting block is connected to the sealing pressure head 301; specifically, the lifting block is movable along the height direction of the frame 10, and the lifting block is connected to the sealing pressure head 301, which is used to drive the sealing pressure head 301 to rise and fall.
[0036] Furthermore, the shock absorber leak testing device described in the present disclosure also includes a controller, which is signal-connected to the first driving member, the second driving member, and the third driving member respectively.
[0037] Specifically, the controller can be a commonly used industrial controller such as a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or an MCU (Microcontroller Unit). In this embodiment, it is used to perform simple start and stop control. The controller is respectively connected to the first drive member and the second drive member signal, and is used to control the start and stop of each drive member according to the production steps. In other preferred embodiments, a display screen and control buttons can also be installed on the rack 1010, and the display screen and control buttons are respectively connected to the controller signal to facilitate the operator to input control instructions and observe the equipment operation status.
[0038] Furthermore, a start switch 40 is included, and the start switch 40 is connected to the controller signal.
[0039] Specifically, the start switch 40 is provided on a side of the frame 10 close to the operator. When the operator presses the start switch 40 , a start signal is input to the device, and the controller controls each driving component to operate to complete the leak test process.
[0040] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 20 further includes a light sensor, which is disposed on the first clamping block 205 and / or the second clamping block 206 , and is connected to the controller signal.
[0041] Exemplarily, the light sensor includes a light source and a receiver. The light source is used to generate a light signal. The light source is arranged on the first clamp 205, and the light emitted by the light source is directed toward the second clamp 206. A receiver is provided on the second clamp 206 at a position corresponding to the light emitted by the light source. The receiver is usually a photosensitive element. When the shock absorber is placed between the first clamp 205 and the second clamp 206, the receiver is blocked from receiving the light. The receiver sends a signal to the controller so that the controller controls the first driving member and the second driving member to drive the first clamp arm 201 and the second clamp arm 202 to clamp the shock absorber.
[0042] Furthermore, the gas source is provided in the frame 10 , and maintenance windows are provided on both sides of the frame 10 at positions corresponding to the gas source, and maintenance doors 50 are rotatably provided on the maintenance windows.
[0043] Exemplarily, the gas source can be a gas cylinder, which is placed in the frame 10, which can save the floor space and space occupied by the shock absorber leak test equipment. At the same time, the first drive member, the second drive member and the third drive member can also be arranged in the frame 10. In order to facilitate the staff to carry out maintenance, maintenance windows are opened on both sides of the frame 10 corresponding to the gas source to facilitate the workers to check and repair. In order to prevent dust accumulation inside the frame 10 from affecting the operation of the gas cylinder, the first drive member, the second drive member and the third drive member, an inspection door 50 is rotatably provided on the maintenance window.
[0044] Furthermore, the rack 10 is provided with an inspection window 60 below the inspection door 50 , and a transparent cover is connected to the inspection window 60 , and a ventilation hole is provided at one portion of the transparent cover.
[0045] For example, Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate observation by the staff, an inspection window 60 is provided on the side of the frame 10 and below the inspection door 50. A transparent cover is connected to the inspection window 60. Specifically, the transparent cover is an acrylic plate (plexiglass). The acrylic plate has the advantages of good light transmittance, good aging resistance, excellent insulation performance, and recyclability. At the same time, since the gas cylinders supply gas, the first drive member, the second drive member and the third drive member will generate heat during operation, in order to ensure ventilation, an air vent is provided on the transparent cover to increase the heat dissipation performance of the cabinet.
