[0057] Embodiment 1

[0058] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the present application embodiment 1 provides a gas tightness detection device, comprising:

[0059] The main pipe 1 is used for communicating with the gas source 22 at the first end of the main pipe 1;

[0060] A pressure reducing valve 2 is arranged in the main pipeline 1;

[0061] A pressure gauge 3 is arranged in the main pipeline 1; the pressure reducing valve 2 is arranged close to the first end of the main pipeline 1 relative to the pressure gauge 3;

[0062] A first branch pipeline 4 is arranged in the main pipeline 1; two ends of the first branch pipeline 4 are respectively arranged in communication with the second end of the main pipeline 1 and the component 23 to be tested;

[0063] A first flow meter 5 is arranged in the first branch pipeline 4;

[0064] A first on-off valve 6 is arranged in the first branch pipeline 4;

[0065] A second branch pipeline 7 is arranged in parallel with the first branch pipeline 4; two ends of the second branch pipeline 7 are respectively arranged in communication with the second end of the main pipeline 1 and the component 23 to be tested;

[0066] A first proportional valve 8 is arranged in the second branch pipeline 7; and

[0067] A second on-off valve 9 is arranged in the second branch pipeline 7.

[0068] Specifically, the main pipeline 1 ensures that the gas can be stably delivered from the gas source 22 to the first branch pipeline 4 or the second branch pipeline 7. The first end of the main pipeline 1 can be connected with the gas source 22 through threads or flanges, and the gas source 22 can use the gas source 22 in the factory. The gas source 22 can use compressed air or compressed nitrogen, etc.

[0069] The pressure reducing valve 2 is used to reduce the pressure of the gas flowing from the gas source 22 into the main pipeline 1, which not only avoids the damage of high pressure to the first branch pipeline 4 and the second branch pipeline 7, but also avoids the impact of high pressure on each component in the system, maintains the structural integrity and functional stability of each component, and further ensures the accuracy of the final test results.

[0070] The first branch pipeline 4 and the second branch pipeline 7 are arranged in parallel, so that the gas in the main pipeline 1 can be branched to different branch pipelines to be connected with the component 23 to be tested. The first on-off valve 6 is used to control the communication between the first branch pipeline 4 and the main pipeline 1; the first flow meter 5 is used to measure the flow of the gas in the pipeline; the second on-off valve 9 is used to control the communication between the first branch pipeline 4 and the main pipeline 1; and the first proportional valve 8 is used to accurately control the gas rate entering the component 23 to be tested (for example, adjusted to 5Kpa / S) to ensure the accuracy and safety of the test. The first proportional valve 8 can use an electric proportional valve or a pneumatic proportional valve, etc.

[0071] The airtightness testing device may also include a pressure relief valve (not shown in the figure), which can be installed on the main pipeline 1 between the pressure gauge 3 and the pressure reducing valve 2, for releasing pressure after measurement. All pipelines and components of this application are available through commercial procurement.

[0072] The airtightness testing device can include four stages in the testing process: inflation stage, pressure stabilization stage, testing stage, and deflation stage.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, during the inflation stage, the first switch valve 6 is closed, the second switch valve 9 is opened, and the gas source 22 is turned on. At this time, the rapidly flowing gas passes through the second branch pipe 7 and, after its rate is precisely controlled by the first proportional valve 8, enters the component under test 23. This avoids large pressure fluctuations impacting the component under test 23, ensuring its integrity during the measurement process. Since the first switch valve 6 is closed, damage to the flow meter from large pressure fluctuations is also avoided, ensuring the integrity of the flow meter's internal structure and thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the final measurement. Furthermore, the flow meter can accurately detect even minute leaks, improving detection precision. When the pressure value measured by pressure gauge 3 reaches the preset pressure value and does not fluctuate significantly for a period of time (e.g., a few seconds), it enters the pressure stabilization stage.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, during the pressure stabilization phase, the gas source 22 remains open, the first switch valve 6 remains closed, and the second switch valve 9 remains open. Gas continues to flow through the second branch pipe 7 and the first proportional valve 8. This phase is maintained for a preset time (e.g., a few minutes) to ensure that the pressure in the system and the component under test 23 is stable, thus ensuring the accuracy of the measurement in the subsequent detection phase.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, during the testing phase, the gas source 22 remains open, the second switch valve 9 is closed, and the first switch valve 6 is opened. At this time, the main pipeline 1 connected to the gas source 22 and the pressure reducing valve 2 on the main pipeline 1 can continue to ensure the stability of the pressure in the first branch pipeline 4, ensuring the stability of the system and improving the accuracy of the measurement. Measurement is performed using the first flow meter 5 on the first branch pipeline 4. If the flow rate displayed by the first flow meter 5 remains zero or close to zero for a period of time, the sealing performance of the component under test 23 is good; if the flow rate displayed by the first flow meter 5 shows a continuous and large reading, it indicates that the component under test 23 has a certain degree of leakage and poor sealing performance.

[0076] During the exhaust phase, shut off the gas source 22, open the second switch valve 9, keep the first switch valve 6 open, and open the pressure relief valve.

[0077] The air tightness detection device can be selected as an automatic control mode or a manual control mode. When the automatic control mode is adopted, electromagnetic valves are selected for the valves, and the control method of the automatic control mode can be slightly improved on the basis of the control method in the prior art without any creative labor.

[0078] By the technical solution, the air tightness detection device provided by the disclosure can make the gas flowing rapidly from the main pipeline 1 pass through the pressure reducing valve 2 to be reduced in pressure and then be introduced into the component 23 to be detected through the second branch pipeline 7 by closing the first switch valve 6 and opening the second switch valve 9 in the inflation stage. Since the rapidly flowing gas does not pass through the flow meter at this time, the damage of the flow meter caused by the excessively fast rate of the gas is avoided, and the accuracy of the subsequent measurement of the flow meter is ensured. In addition, the first proportional valve 8 can finely control the rate of the gas introduced into the component 23 to be detected, so that the integrity of the component 23 to be detected in the measurement process is ensured. After the pressure gauge 3 detects that the pressure in the pipeline is stable, the detection stage is entered, the first switch valve 6 is opened and the second switch valve 9 is closed, and at this time, the main pipeline 1 connected with the gas source 22 and the pressure reducing valve 2 on the main pipeline 1 ensure the stability of the pressure in the first branch pipeline 4 and the stability of the system, and improve the accuracy of the measurement. At this time, the measurement is performed through the flow meter, and the flow meter realizes the measurement of the small leakage of the component 23 to be detected, and the accuracy of the detection is improved.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 1, Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the first proportional valve 8 is closer to the second end of the main pipeline 1 than the second switch valve 9.

[0080] Specifically, by placing the first proportional valve 8 in front, the pressure change of the main pipeline 1 can be responded more timely, the rate of the gas can be quickly adjusted, and more stable gas supply can be provided for the subsequent detection process. At the same time, the system failure caused by pressure fluctuation and unstable flow can be reduced, and the reliability and service life of the system are improved.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 1, Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the air tightness detection device further comprises:

[0082] a third branch pipeline 10, a first end of the third branch pipeline 10 is in communication with the second branch pipeline 7, and the second switch valve 9 is located between the first proportional valve 8 and the first end of the third branch pipeline 10; a second end of the third branch pipeline 10 is used to be in communication with the atmosphere; and

[0083] a third switch valve 11 arranged in the third branch pipeline 10.

[0084] Specifically, a third branch pipe 10 is installed with its second end connected to the atmosphere, and a third switch valve 11 is installed on the third branch pipe 10, providing a rapid pressure relief channel for the entire system. When emergency pressure relief of the system is required, the third switch valve 11 is opened, and the gas can be quickly discharged into the atmosphere through the third branch pipe 10, reducing the risk of system damage due to excessive pressure. This greatly improves the safety and ease of operation of the system in emergency situations. In addition, it can also be used for venting during the venting stage after testing is completed. That is, the third branch pipe 10 and the third switch valve 11, along with the pressure relief valve, can be installed individually or in combination.

[0085] To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, it also includes:

[0086] The first differential pressure gauge 12 is installed on the first branch pipe 4.

[0087] Specifically, the testing phase may include a first sub-test phase and a second sub-test phase, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in the first sub-test stage, the gas source 22 remains open, the first switch valve 6 is opened, the second switch valve 7 is closed, and then the flow meter is used for measurement. After the measurement is completed, the second sub-test stage begins. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the gas source 22 is turned off, the first switch valve 6 is kept closed, and the second switch valve 9 is kept open. After a period of time (e.g., a few minutes), the value of the first differential pressure gauge 12 is read. If the value is zero or close to zero, the component under test 23 is determined to have good sealing performance; if the value is large, the component under test 23 is determined to have poor sealing performance. When the results detected by the first differential pressure gauge 12 and the flow meter are inconsistent, the component under test 23 needs to be retested, or the first differential pressure gauge 12 and the flow meter need to be repaired until the results detected by the first differential pressure gauge 12 and the flow meter are consistent.

[0088] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, it also includes:

[0089] Multiple fourth branch pipes 13, each having a first end connected to both the first end of the first branch pipe 4 and the first end of the second branch pipe 7, and each fourth branch pipe 13 having a second end connected to a chamber of the component under test 23; and

[0090] Multiple fourth switching valves 14 are provided, with the same number of fourth switching valves 14 as the fourth branch pipes 13, and one fourth switching valve 14 is provided for each fourth branch pipe 13.

[0091] Specifically, the first ends of multiple fourth branch pipes 13 can be connected to the first ends of both the first branch pipe 4 and the second branch pipe 7 via a multi-port connector. During the testing process, different chambers of the component under test 23 can be tested sequentially. For example, when the chambers of the component under test 23 include a hydrogen chamber, an oxygen chamber, and a coolant chamber, there can be three fourth branch pipes 13. The second ends of the three fourth branch pipes 13 are connected to the three chambers of the component under test 23 respectively. When testing the hydrogen chamber, the fourth switch valve 14 on the fourth branch pipe 13 connected to the hydrogen chamber can be opened, and the fourth switch valves 14 on the other fourth branch pipes 13 can be closed. By connecting multiple fourth branch pipes 13 to different chambers of the component under test 23, the sealing performance of the component under test 23 can be more comprehensively evaluated during the testing process. Since each fourth branch pipe 13 is equipped with an independent fourth switch valve 14, the gas flow in each chamber can be controlled individually, improving the flexibility and accuracy of the test.

[0092] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first end of the first branch pipe 4 and the first end of the second branch pipe 7 are both used to communicate with the first chamber of the component under test 23; it also includes:

[0093] The fifth branch pipe 15 has two ends that are respectively connected to the second end of the main pipe 1 and the second chamber of the component under test 23;

[0094] The second flow meter 16 is installed in the fifth branch pipe 15;

[0095] The fifth switch valve 17 is installed in the fifth branch pipe 15;

[0096] The sixth branch pipe 18 is connected in parallel with the fifth branch pipe 15; the two ends of the sixth branch pipe 18 are respectively used to connect to the second end of the main pipe 1 and the second chamber of the component under test 23.

[0097] A second proportional valve 19 is installed in the sixth branch pipe 18; and,

[0098] The sixth switch valve 20 is installed in the sixth branch pipeline 18.

[0099] Specifically, the second differential pressure gauge 24, the seventh branch pipe 25 and the eighth switch valve 26 can also be included; the second differential pressure gauge 24 can be arranged on the fifth branch pipe 15, the first end of the seventh branch pipe 25 is in communication with the sixth branch pipe 18, and the sixth switch valve 20 is located between the second proportional valve 19 and the first end of the sixth branch pipe 18; and the second end of the seventh branch pipe 25 is used for communication with the atmosphere. The second proportional valve 19 can be selected from an electric proportional valve or a pneumatic proportional valve and the like. By arranging the fifth branch pipe 15 and the sixth branch pipe 18, the different chambers (the first chamber and the second chamber) of the to-be-tested assembly 23 can be sequentially subjected to the air tightness detection of the different chambers of the to-be-tested assembly 23, the inflation, pressure stabilization and detection of multiple chambers are realized, and the sealing performance of the to-be-tested assembly 23 can be more comprehensively evaluated. In each stage of the detection, the opening and closing of the fifth switch valve 17 can be in conjunction with the first switch valve 6, and the opening and closing of the sixth switch valve 20 can be in conjunction with the second switch valve 9.

[0100] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the seventh switch valve 21 is arranged between the gas source 22 and the pressure gauge 3. Figures 1 to 5

[0101] Specifically, in the inflation stage, the pressure stabilization stage and the first sub-detection stage, the seventh switch valve 21 can be opened; in the second sub-detection stage and the exhaust stage, the seventh switch valve 21 can be closed. The seventh switch valve 21 can cut off the connection between the gas source 22 and the pressure reducing valve 2 in an emergency, so as to prevent the gas with excessively high pressure from directly impacting the pressure reducing valve 2 and subsequent detection devices. For example, in the case of an abnormally high pressure or an emergency of the system, the seventh switch valve 21 can be closed in time to avoid damage to the system caused by excessively high pressure, thereby improving the safety of the system. The seventh switch valve 21 can also be used to control the opening and closing of the gas source.

[0102] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the system further includes: Figures 1 to 5

[0103] A data acquisition unit (not shown in the figure) is in signal connection with the first flowmeter 5, and the data acquisition unit is used for acquiring and recording the operation data of the first flowmeter 5.

[0104] Specifically, the data acquisition unit can be selected from a data acquisition card, a remote terminal unit and the like. The data acquisition unit can store the acquired operation data, so as to facilitate subsequent data analysis and processing. Through analysis of a large amount of data, the air tightness of the to-be-tested assembly 23 can be more deeply understood, and potential problems and trends can be found. For example, whether the to-be-tested assembly 23 has a slow leakage problem can be judged by analyzing the flow variation curve in different time periods.

[0105] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the system further includes: Figures 1 to 5 ​​​

[0106] An alarm device (not shown in the figure) is connected with the first flow meter 5, the first flow meter 5 can convert the measured flow data into a first signal, and the alarm device can issue an alarm based on the first signal.

[0108] Embodiment 2

[0109] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 Embodiment 2 of the present application provides a gas tightness detection system, comprising:

[0110] a gas source 22, and

[0111] the gas tightness detection device of Embodiment 1, the first end of the main pipeline 1 of the gas tightness detection device is in communication with the gas source 22.

[0112] Through the above technical solution, the gas tightness detection system provided by Embodiment 2 of the present application includes the gas tightness detection device provided by Embodiment 1. By arranging two parallel first branch pipelines 4 and second branch pipelines 7, in the inflation stage, the first switch valve 6 is closed and the second switch valve 9 is opened, so that the gas flowing rapidly from the main pipeline 1 is reduced in pressure by the pressure reducing valve 2 and then introduced into the component 23 to be measured through the second branch pipeline 7. Since the rapidly flowing gas does not pass through the flow meter at this time, the damage of the flow meter caused by the excessively fast rate of the gas is avoided, and the accuracy of the subsequent flow meter measurement is ensured. In addition, the first proportional valve 8 can finely control the rate of the gas entering the component 23 to be measured, so as to avoid the impact of the excessively fast rate of the gas on the component 23 to be measured, and ensure the integrity of the component 23 to be measured during the measurement. After the pressure gauge 3 detects that the pipeline pressure is stable, the detection stage is entered, the first switch valve 6 is opened and the second switch valve 9 is closed. At this time, the main pipeline 1 connected with the gas source 22 and the pressure reducing valve 2 on the main pipeline 1 ensure the stability of the pressure of the first branch pipeline 4, ensure the stability of the system, and improve the accuracy of the measurement. At this time, the measurement is carried out through the flow meter, the flow meter realizes the measurement of the small leakage amount of the component 23 to be measured, and the accuracy of the detection is improved.
