[0030] Working principle:
[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, when the testing platform is in use, the height of the top plate 3 is first adjusted to a suitable height according to the length of the pipe 26, and then the connecting plate 16 is adjusted to be lowered to a suitable height. Then, one end opening of the pipe 26 to be tested is passed downward through the limiting hole and docked with the first sealing plug 2. After the pipe 26 is docked, the connecting plate 16 is adjusted to rise to a suitable height, so as to better limit the side wall of the pipe 26 and prevent the pipe 26 from loosening. Finally, the cylinder 4 is controlled to drive the second sealing plug 5 to descend so that the second sealing plug 5 is inserted into the other end opening of the pipe 26. After both ends of the pipe 26 are sealed, gas is started to be filled into the pipe 26.
[0032] One method of filling the pipe 26 with gas is to open the electromagnetic valve of the air inlet pipe 25, and the air pump discharges the gas from the air guide pipe into the air inlet pipe 25, and the gas is then discharged from the air inlet pipe 25 into the pipe 26. After the air pump adds gas to the pipe 26 at a certain pressure, the electromagnetic valve and the air pump are closed, and the pressure sensor displays the detected air pressure through the pressure gauge 6. Then, the value change of the pressure gauge 6 is observed. If the value of the pressure gauge 6 continues to decrease, the sealing of the pipe 26 is unqualified. If the value of the pressure gauge 6 remains stable, the sealing of the pipe 26 is qualified.
[0033] Another way to fill gas into the pipe 26 is to open the electromagnetic valve of the air inlet pipe 25, and the air pump discharges the gas from the air duct into the air inlet pipe 25, and the gas is then discharged from the air inlet pipe 25 into the pipe 26. During this period, gas is continuously filled into the pipe 26, and the pressure sensor will transmit the detected air pressure data to the controller, and the controller will then display the processed data through the display screen 27. The display screen 27 will show a curve graph of the air pressure changing with time, and based on the preset evaluation criteria, it will accurately judge whether the air tightness of the pipe 26 is qualified. After the inspection is completed, the electromagnetic valve and the air pump are closed.
