[0037] See also Figures 1 to 7 ,as well as Figures 10 and 11 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a water testing machine for detecting the air tightness of a test piece 10. The test piece 10 is a drainer. The test piece 10 includes a main body 11, a connector 12, and a drain valve 13. The main body 11 has an air inlet port 111, an exhaust port 112, and a drain port 113. The air inlet port 111 and the exhaust port 112 are both connected to the drain port 113. The connector 12 is installed on the exhaust port 112. The drain port 113 is provided at the bottom of the main body 11. The drain valve 13 is installed on the drain port 113. In order to detect the air tightness of the test piece 10, the connector 12 will automatically and directly seal the exhaust port 112 in advance, and the drain valve 13 will directly seal the drain port 113, leaving only the air inlet port 111. The drain valve 13 is similar to a bolt and needs to be manually unscrewed before water can be drained.

[0038] The water testing machine includes a machine platform 20, a sealing assembly 30, a pushing assembly 40 and a water tank 50. The machine platform 20 includes a frame 21, multiple first columns 22 and a base 23 for fixing the test piece 10. One end of the first column 22 is connected to the base 23 and the other end is connected to the frame 21.

[0039] The sealing assembly 30 includes a bracket 31, a first driving mechanism 32 and a plug 33 installed on the output end of the first driving mechanism 32. The bracket 31 is installed on the base 23. The first driving mechanism 32 is installed on the bracket 31. The plug 33 is located above the base 23. The first driving mechanism 32 can drive the plug 33 downward to block the air inlet port 111 of the inspected part 10. The first driving mechanism 32 can be a telescopic cylinder; the pushing assembly 40 includes a second driving mechanism 41, a connecting block 42 installed on the output end of the second driving mechanism 41 and a bracket 43 connected to the connecting block 42. The second driving mechanism 41 is installed on the frame 21. The second driving mechanism 41 can drive the bracket 43 to move up and down; the water tank 50 is used to store liquid, which is water.

[0040] When the test piece 10 needs to be tested for air tightness, the test piece 10 is fixed on the base 23, and the first driving mechanism 32 drives the plug 33 to block the air inlet port 111 of the test piece 10 to seal the test piece 10. The second driving mechanism 41 drives the bracket 43 to drive the water tank 50 upward to make the test piece 10 sink into the liquid to detect whether there is air leakage and whether bubbles emerge. If bubbles emerge, the air tightness of the test piece 10 is very poor. If no bubbles emerge, the air tightness of the test piece 10 is very good.

[0041] The pushing assembly 40 also includes two slide rails 44 and a plurality of sliders 45 respectively slidably mounted on the two slide rails 44. The two slide rails 44 are arranged in parallel.

Compressed air is filled into the test piece 10 so that the detection effect can be better observed.

[0043] In some embodiments, the gas delivery device further includes a pressure sensor for collecting internal gas pressure, and the pressure sensor is connected to the gas pipe so that the gas pressure inside the test piece 10 can be checked at any time.

[0044] The base 23 includes a table 231 and a fixture seat 232 for fixing the test piece 10. The first column 22 is connected to the table 231. The fixture seat 232 is detachably mounted on the table 231 so that the fixture seat 232 can be replaced at any time according to the product.

[0045] The fixture seat 232 is provided with a mounting groove 233 for fixing the test piece 10. The mounting groove 233 includes a concave cavity 2331 and at least one avoidance hole 2332. Each avoidance hole 2332 is connected to the concave cavity 2331. There are two avoidance holes 2332, one of which is used to avoid the joint 12 and the other is used to avoid the drain valve 13. The structure of the fixture seat 232 can be designed according to the shape of the test piece 10.

[0046] The bracket 31 includes a support plate 311 and multiple second columns 312. The support plate 311 is located above the fixture base 232. One end of the second column 312 is connected to the base 23 and the other end is connected to the support plate 311. The first drive mechanism 32 is installed on the support plate 311 so that the first drive mechanism 32 can drive the plug 33 to move up and down.

[0047] In this embodiment, the water testing machine also includes a human-machine interface 60 installed on the frame 21. The air pump, pressure sensor, first drive mechanism 32 and second drive mechanism 41 are all electrically connected to the human-machine interface 60. By operating the button 61 on the human-machine interface 60, the corresponding driving operation can be achieved, reducing the intensity of manual work.

[0048] In some embodiments, the water testing machine further includes a foot switch, which is electrically connected to the human-machine interface 60. The foot switch can replace the button 61 on the human-machine interface 60 to improve work efficiency.

[0049] The water testing machine also includes a downward pressing component 70, which includes a third driving mechanism 71 and a pressure block 72 for abutting the top of the inspected piece 10. The first driving mechanism 32 and the third driving mechanism 71 are both installed on the support plate 311 of the bracket 31 through fasteners 80. The pressure block 72 is installed on the output end of the third driving mechanism 71. The third driving mechanism 71 is also electrically connected to the human-machine interface 60. The third driving mechanism 71 can drive the pressure block 72 downward to press the inspected piece 10 to prevent it from moving during the inspection process. The third driving mechanism 71 can be a telescopic cylinder and the fastener 80 can be a screw.

[0050] In some embodiments, the pressing assembly 70 also includes at least one guide rod 73, and the support plate 311 is provided with at least one guide hole 3111. One end of the guide rod 73 is fixedly connected to the pressing block 72, and the other end passes through the corresponding guide hole 3111 and protrudes outside the support plate 311, so that the pressing block 72 can be more stable during operation.

[0051] In some embodiments, the machine 20 further includes a plurality of cover plates 24 , each of which is mounted on the frame 21 to provide a certain degree of protection and enhance the appearance of the entire water testing machine.

[0052] The method for the water testing machine to perform air tightness testing on the test piece 10 is as follows:

[0053] Step S101, fix the test piece 10. First, place the test piece 10 on the fixture seat 232 and fix it. Then, press the corresponding button 61 on the human-machine interface 60. The third drive mechanism 71 drives the pressure block 72 downward to press the test piece 10. After that, the first drive mechanism 32 drives the plug 33 downward to block the air inlet port 111 of the test piece 10 to seal the test piece 10.

[0054] Step S102, the test piece 10 is put into water for testing. After the sealing of the test piece 10 is completed, the air pump is started to fill the test piece 10 with compressed air. At the same time, the second drive mechanism 41 drives the bracket 43 to drive the water tank 50 upward until the test piece 10 sinks below the liquid level in the water tank 50. When the internal air pressure of the test piece 10 reaches the set value, the air pressure sensor collects air pressure data, and a manual check is performed to see if there is any leakage and whether there are any bubbles. If bubbles emerge, the air tightness of the test piece 10 is very poor. If no bubbles emerge, the product is qualified, and the judgment result and data are transmitted to the memory of the human-machine interface 60.

[0055] Step S103, cleaning and resetting, use the second drive mechanism 41 to drive the bracket 43 and the water tank 50 to descend and reset, then turn off the air pump to discharge the compressed air in the inspected part 10. When the atmospheric pressure in the cavity of the inspected part 10 is restored, the first drive mechanism 32 drives the plug 33 to reset, and the third drive mechanism 71 drives the pressure block 72 to reset and return to the initial position. The operator can then take out the inspected product.

[0056] In summary, the utility model adopts a mechanical water testing machine to replace the previous manual method to test the air tightness of the test piece 10. The manual participation is low, and the manual factors have almost no effect on the test results. The test results are accurate, the intensity of manual work is reduced, time and labor are saved, and the test data is traceable, which is suitable for large-scale promotion.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
