Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate different embodiments or examples described in this utility model, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0036] Example:

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a filter airtightness testing device includes: a base plate 1, a frame 2, a drive device 3, a guide column 4, a movable pressure plate 5, a connecting plate 6, a pressure plate tooling assembly 7, and an airtight tooling assembly 8.

[0038] The device under test 9 is a base station filter in this embodiment, but it can also be other similar devices with waterproof requirements.

[0039] Base plate 1, which is the main supporting structure of the entire testing device, is machined from a thick metal plate with holes.

[0040] The frame 2 is installed on the base plate 1. The frame 2 includes a side plate 21 and a top plate 22. The side plate 21 is installed on the base plate 1 to provide vertical support for the top plate 22. The top plate 22 is installed on the side plate 21 to support the drive device 3. Both the side plate 21 and the top plate 22 are machined from thick metal plates by machining and punching.

[0041] The drive device 3 is located on the top of the frame 2. In this embodiment, it consists of three pneumatic hydraulic cylinders installed in parallel. Pneumatic hydraulic cylinders are a commonly used mechanical device in industry. Their function is to convert the energy of compressed air into mechanical energy to push or lift objects. Pneumatic hydraulic cylinders are driven by compressed air and can generate a large linear force, making them suitable for applications that require high force output.

[0042] Guide columns 4 are installed between the base plate 1 and the top plate 22. In this embodiment, four guide columns are provided. A linear bearing 41 is installed in the middle of the guide column 4 to provide horizontal holding force when the movable pressure plate 5 moves up and down. The guide column 4 is machined from round steel. The linear bearing 41 is a linear motion device, mainly used for linear stroke and cooperating with a cylindrical shaft.

[0043] The movable pressure plate 5 is mounted on the guide column 4 via a linear bearing 41 and moves up and down under the drive of the drive device 3. In this embodiment, it is driven up and down by the piston rod of the pneumatic hydraulic cylinder. During testing, the pressure is applied to the pressure plate tooling assembly 7, making the pressure application more stable. The movable pressure plate 5 is machined from a thick metal plate by machining and punching.

[0044] The connecting plate 6 connects the movable pressure plate 5 to the output end of the drive device 3. In this embodiment, the connecting plate 6 includes a first connecting plate 6 and two second connecting plates 6. The first connecting plate 6 connects the movable pressure plate 5 to the piston rod of the middle pneumatic hydraulic cylinder, and the second connecting plate 6 connects the movable pressure plate 5 to the piston rods of the pneumatic hydraulic cylinders on both sides, making the pressure application more stable. The connecting plates 6 are all machined by drilling holes in thick metal plates.

[0045] The pressure plate fixture assembly 7 is positioned between the test piece 9 and the movable pressure plate 5. Designed according to the shape of the test piece 9, the assembly provides pressure at the mounting screw positions to simulate the installation environment of the test piece 9 during use. Multiple supports 71 and pressure heads 72 are located at the bottom of the pressure plate fixture assembly 7 corresponding to the mounting screw positions of the test piece 9. The stainless steel supports 71 are mounted on the pressure plate fixture assembly 7, providing downward pressure to the pressure heads 72 during pressing. The pressure heads 72, mounted on the supports 71, also provide downward pressure to the test piece 9 during pressing. They are made of soft rubber to prevent damage to the test piece 9. Since the pressure plate fixture assembly applies pressure to the test piece at several points, the stability and balance of the pressure application are crucial. The aforementioned design of the three pneumatic hydraulic cylinders, three connecting plates, and guide columns is precisely to ensure the stability and balance of the pressure applied by the movable pressure plate to the pressure plate fixture assembly.

[0046] An airtight fixture assembly 8 is mounted on the base plate 1. The test piece 9 is installed inside the airtight fixture assembly 8. The airtight fixture assembly 8 is designed according to the shape of the test piece 9 to fit the periphery of the test piece 9. A sealing strip is provided in the middle of the part of the airtight fixture assembly 8 that fits with the test piece 9. After being pressed together, a sealed space is formed. Several blocks 81 are also distributed around the airtight fixture assembly 8 to quickly position the test piece 9. The blocks 81 are made of soft rubber to avoid damage to the test piece 9. An air pipe interface 82 is provided on the side of the airtight fixture assembly 8. An air pipe is connected to an airtightness tester to test the airtightness of the test piece 9.

[0047] The principle of this filter airtightness testing device for quickly evaluating the waterproofness of filters is as follows: the test piece is clamped in the middle to form a sealed cavity through the airtight fixture assembly and the pressure plate fixture assembly. This cavity is inflated to a certain pressure. After inflation, the air source is disconnected, and the pressure drop inside the cavity is tested within a certain period of time. If the pressure drop reaches a certain level, it indicates that the test piece is leaking air, which is equivalent to poor waterproofness of the test piece. Conversely, if the pressure drop is not significant, the waterproofness of the test piece is qualified.

[0048] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0049] 1. This filter airtightness testing device is convenient and quick to use. From the assembly of the test piece and tooling to the end of the test, it can be controlled within about 5 minutes. Spray testing or immersion testing often takes several hours, thus greatly improving the testing efficiency in the mass production of filters.

[0050] 2. The airtightness testing device of this filter provides accurate test results. The test values ​​can be directly read from the airtightness tester. The results are intuitive, highly accurate and stable. The pass / fail status is objective and fair, avoiding the inaccurate intuitive judgment results after spray test or immersion test.

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
