Before this type of part enters the market, it must undergo a vacuum test. The general requirement for leak testing is: at @24″Hg, for 2 seconds, the pressure gauge reading should not decrease by more than 1″Hg.
[0003] Because this leak detection method has high requirements, it also places high demands on the quality and skills of the testing personnel, which greatly limits the difficulty and efficiency of leak detection.

[0013] In some specific embodiments, a groove is provided around the outer edge of the mounting groove along the outer periphery of the air passage opening, and a sealing ring is provided in the groove. The two sides of the sealing ring are respectively sealed and abutted against the groove and the end face of the part to be tested where the opening is provided.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is based on the technical solution of the present invention and provides detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0035] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0036] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0037] In the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the functional components or structures are conventional components or structures used in the art to achieve the corresponding functions.
[0038] Example 1:
[0039] like Figures 5-6 The part 12 to be tested shown has a conical protrusion on one end face. The conical protrusion has a channel along its protrusion direction, and a sealing surface is provided on the inner edge of the opening at one end of the channel.
[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this is a testing fixture for testing leaks in parts, including a standard sealing ball 6, a connecting joint 11, and a pressure boosting assembly.
[0041] An air passage 11-2 is provided through the connecting joint 11. One end of the air passage 11-2 is connected to the pressurization component, and the other end has a mounting groove. A standard sealing ball limiting groove is provided between the opening of one end of the air passage 11-2 and the mounting groove.
[0042] The standard sealing limiting groove is adapted to the standard sealing ball 6, and a venting groove 11-3 is provided to connect the mounting groove and the air passage 11-2, so that when the outer edge of the mounting groove is in sealing contact with the end face of the part to be tested 12 with the opening, both ends of the standard sealing ball 6 are respectively in contact with the sealing surface and the standard sealing ball limiting groove. The mounting groove is kept in communication with the air passage 11-2 through the venting groove 11-3, and the pressurization component can pressurize the mounting groove and the air passage 11-2.
[0043] When the sealing surface and the standard sealing ball 6 are well sealed, the pressure in the mounting groove and the air passage 11-2 is maintained;
[0044] When the sealing surface fails to seal properly with the standard sealing ball 6, the pressure inside the mounting groove and the air passage 11-2 leaks outward through the channel.
[0045] In this technical solution, the pressure-holding capacity of the gas path 11-2 is used to determine whether gas flows into the channel of the part to be tested 12. When the gas path 11-2 cannot hold pressure and leaks into the channel, an airflow path is formed from the gas path 11-2 through the vicinity of the standard sealing ball 6 to the channel. When no leakage occurs, this airflow path is closed. That is, when the structure of the part to be tested 12 (the channel sealing surface seals with the standard sealing ball 6) meets the standard, no leakage occurs; when the structure of the part to be tested 12 does not meet the standard, leakage occurs.
[0046] To improve detection accuracy, a groove 11-4 is provided around the outer edge of the mounting groove along the outer periphery of the opening of the air passage 11-2. A sealing ring 7 is provided in the groove 11-4. The two sides of the sealing ring 7 are respectively sealed and abutted against the groove 11-4 and the end face of the part to be tested 12 with the opening.
[0047] The pressurization component includes an air pipe 8 connected to the air path 11-2 and an air pump 13 connected to the air pipe 8. One end of the air pipe 8 is provided with an air pipe joint 5 that is hermetically connected to the air path 11-2. The other end of the air pipe 8 is provided with a pressure reducing valve 4 connected to the air pump 13. A switch valve 3 is provided on the air pipe 8. Exemplarily, the pressure reducing valve 4 is a pressure gauge type pressure reducing valve, and the switch valve 3 is a manual valve quick joint switch. The air pressure in the air path 11-2 is adjusted to a specified value through the pressure reducing valve 4, and the switch valve 3 is closed to maintain a sealed state for detecting the sealing performance of the part to be detected 12.
[0048] The top of the connection joint 11 is provided with a detection passage 11-1 communicating with the air path 11-2. One end of the detection passage 11-1 communicates with the air path 11-2, and the other end is connected to the pressure gauge 2. The pressure of the air path 11-2 is monitored through the pressure gauge 2 to reflect the sealing performance of the part to be detected 12.
[0049] The detection tooling further includes a push rod 1 for fixing the part to be detected 12. The end face of the part to be detected 12 away from the cavity abuts against the connecting rod end of the push rod 1. Exemplarily, the push rod 1 can be an elbow clamp horizontal pressing type quick clamp. To avoid bruising the part to be detected 12, a gasket is provided at the connecting rod end.
[0050] The bottom plate 10 and the push rod 1, connection joint 11 are respectively connected and fixed by bolts 9 to maintain the stability of the part to be detected 12 and the connection joint 11.
[0051] The detection tooling of the present utility model provides an operation method:
[0052] During operation, first fix the bottom plate 10, connection joint 11, and push rod 1 with bolts 9. The connection joint 11 is connected to the pressure gauge 2, air pipe joint 5, air pipe 8, switch valve 3, pressure reducing valve 4, and air pump 13. Close the switch valve 3 on the air pipe 8 and adjust the pressure reducing valve 4 to 0.08 MPa. Then, sequentially install a standard sealing ball 6, sealing ring 7, and the part to be detected 12 in the connection joint 11. The push rod 1 pushes the standard sealing ball 6 to the standard sealing ball limiting groove at the port of the air path 11-2 through the part to be detected 12, so that the outer edge of the installation groove of the connection joint 11 is hermetically abutted against the end face with an opening on the part to be detected 12. The two ends of the standard sealing ball 6 respectively abut against the sealing surface and the standard sealing ball limiting groove, and the part to be detected 12 is fixed. After the connection is completed, turn on the air pump 13 and switch valve 3. When it is confirmed that the air pressure of the pressure gauge 2 reaches 0.08 MPa, close the switch valve 3. Observe the pressure value of the pressure gauge 2 and keep it for 4 seconds. If the pressure drop is less than 0.0067 MPa, it is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified.
[0053] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be easily made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present utility model without departing from its scope should be within the protection scope of the present utility model.
