[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 The automatic fuel system air tightness detection device 10 provided in the present embodiment is used for detecting the air tightness of the fuel system 11. The automatic fuel system air tightness detection device 10 can be connected between the gas source and the fuel system 11, and is used for guiding the gas in the gas source into the fuel system 11. The automatic fuel system air tightness detection device 10 can improve the technical problems of difficulty in execution and poor consistency of test results in the prior art.

[0027] It is worth noting that the fuel system 11 has a first pressure sensor 12 for detecting the internal gas pressure.

[0028] In the embodiment, the automatic fuel system airtightness detection device 10 comprises a charging assembly 100 and a control device 200. The charging assembly 100 comprises a charging channel and a switch valve 110, a pressure reducing valve 120, a pressure reducing pressure sensor 130, an automatic pressure controller 140, a charging solenoid valve 150 and a one-way valve 160 arranged in sequence on the charging channel; the charging channel has two first interfaces 170, one of which is used to access a gas source and the other is used to access the fuel system 11. When the switch valve 110 and the charging solenoid valve 150 are both open, the gas can pass through the switch valve 110, the pressure reducing valve 120, the pressure reducing pressure sensor 130, the automatic pressure controller 140, the charging solenoid valve 150 and the one-way valve 160 in sequence during the process of passing through the charging channel, and then be charged into the fuel system 11. The control device 200 comprises a control body 210 and an operation body 220; the control body 210 is electrically connected with the first pressure sensor 12 to obtain the first pressure data detected by the first pressure sensor 12; the control body 210 is electrically connected with the charging solenoid valve 150, and the control body 210 is used to control the charging solenoid valve 150 to close when the first pressure sensor 12 detects that the pressure in the fuel system 11 reaches the pressure target value, that is, the control body 210 is used to control the charging solenoid valve 150 to close when the pressure value represented by the first pressure data reaches the gas pressure target value. The pressure reducing pressure sensor 130 and the automatic pressure controller 140 are both electrically connected with the control body 210. The operation body is used to input the gas pressure target value; the automatic pressure controller is used to adjust the gas pressure in the charging channel based on the pressure data detected by the pressure reducing pressure sensor. In other words, the control body 210 is used to send the gas pressure target value to the automatic pressure controller 140 according to the instruction sent by the operation body 220, the control body 210 is also used to obtain the second pressure data in the charging channel detected by the pressure reducing pressure sensor 130, and is also used to send the second pressure data to the automatic pressure controller 140; the automatic pressure controller 140 is used to adjust the gas pressure in the charging channel based on the second pressure data until the gas pressure in the charging channel reaches the gas pressure target value. Wherein, Figure 1 The dashed line in the figure represents an electrical connection relationship.

[0029] When the automatic fuel system air tightness detection device 10 is used to perform air tightness detection of the fuel system 11, the first interface 170 and the second interface 310 are connected to the gas source and the fuel system 11 respectively, the operator can issue an instruction to determine the target gas pressure value by operating the main body 220, and after inputting the target gas pressure value, the control body 210 controls the opening of the switch valve 110 and the inflation solenoid valve 150 to inflate the fuel system 11 with gas. Based on this, the operation can be facilitated and the operation difficulty can be reduced. In addition, during the inflation process, based on the second pressure data detected by the pressure reducing pressure sensor 130, the automatic pressure controller 140 adjusts the gas pressure in the inflation channel until the gas pressure in the inflation channel stabilizes at the target gas pressure value, so as to facilitate the inflation of the fuel system 11 to the target gas pressure value; thereby, through the cooperation of the automatic pressure controller 140 and the pressure reducing pressure sensor 130, the same conditions can be ensured to complete the air tightness test even if different testers perform the test, and the consistency of the test results can be ensured. Based on this, the automatic fuel system air tightness detection device 10 can improve the technical problems of difficulty in execution and poor consistency of test results in the prior art.

[0030] The operation body 220 can be a touch operation device, such as a touch screen or a touch panel. Of course, the operation body 220 can also be a smart terminal, a tablet computer, or an industrial computer. The operation body 220 can issue an instruction to determine the target gas pressure value by inputting the target gas pressure value on the operation body 220 through touch, or by voice interaction. After the control body 210 obtains the instruction issued by the operation body 220, the operation body 220 sends the target gas pressure value to the automatic pressure controller 140. It should be noted that the control body 210 can interact with the automatic pressure controller, so that the automatic pressure controller can adjust the gas pressure in the inflation channel behind the pressure reducing valve 120 based on the second pressure data and the target gas pressure value, so that the inflation channel can stably inflate the fuel system 11 with gas at a gas pressure maintained at the target gas pressure value. In addition, the control body 210 can be a programmable logic controller.

[0031] Alternatively, the automatic pressure controller 140 can use a controller in the prior art, for example, an OHR-A100 series pressure controller. Similarly, the control body 210 can use a Siemens smart200. It should be understood that the automatic pressure controller 140 and the control body 210 can also use the same type of existing products, which will not be described here.

[0032] Further, when the first pressure sensor 12 detects that the gas pressure in the fuel system 11 reaches the target gas pressure value, the control body 210 controls the inflation solenoid valve 150 to close, and the inflation of the fuel system 11 is completed.

[0033] After the filling of gas in the fuel system 11 is completed, the change of the gas pressure in the fuel system 11 can be determined based on the gas pressure detected by the first pressure sensor 12 after a period of time, and if the change is within a preset range, it indicates that the air tightness of the fuel system 11 is good. Otherwise, it indicates that the air tightness of the fuel system 11 is poor.

[0034] Optionally, in the embodiment, the gas filling assembly 100 further comprises a safety valve 181 and a first discharge channel; the safety valve 181 is connected to the gas filling channel, and the safety valve 181 is located between the pressure relief valve 120 and the switch valve 110; the first discharge channel is connected to the gas filling channel and is located between the switch valve 110 and the pressure relief valve 120. By providing the safety valve 181, it can be ensured that the gas pressure in the gas filling channel cannot exceed a preset gas pressure, the internal components of the device can be protected from damage, and the safety of the operator can be ensured. In addition, by providing the first discharge channel, when the gas pressure exceeds a certain limit, part of the gas can be discharged through the first discharge channel to ensure that the gas pressure in the gas filling channel is maintained within a safe limit, thereby improving safety.

[0035] Optionally, in the embodiment, the first discharge channel is provided with a first discharge valve 1821 and a first silencer 1822. The first discharge valve 1821 is used to control the opening and closing of the first discharge channel, so as to control the first discharge channel to be turned on to discharge part of the gas when the gas pressure in the gas filling channel is higher than the safe limit, so as to maintain the gas pressure in the gas filling channel within the safe limit. The first silencer 1822 is used to eliminate the sound of the discharged gas.

[0036] In the embodiment, the gas filling assembly 100 further comprises an impurity filter 190, which is arranged on the gas filling channel and is located between the switch valve 110 and the first interface 170. By filtering the impurities in the gas through the impurity filter 190, it can be avoided that the impurities enter the fuel system 11 and cause the impurities to accumulate inside the fuel system 11.

[0037] In the embodiment, the gas filling assembly 100 further comprises a second pressure sensor 101, which is connected to the gas filling channel and is located between the switch valve 110 and the pressure relief valve 120, and the second pressure sensor 101 is used to detect the gas pressure of the gas source. The second pressure sensor 101 and the first discharge valve 1821 are both electrically connected to the control body 210. The control body 210 can control the opening and closing of the first discharge valve 1821 based on the gas pressure detected by the pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor detects that the gas pressure output by the gas source exceeds a safe limit, the control body 210 controls the first discharge valve 1821 to open to discharge part of the gas, so as to ensure that the gas pressure in the gas filling channel is maintained within the safe limit. In this way, the automatic control of the first discharge channel can be realized.

[0038] In the embodiment, the inflating assembly 100 further comprises a second discharge channel 102, which accesses the inflating channel and is between the inflating solenoid valve 150 and the one-way valve 160; the second discharge channel 102 is used to discharge the gas in the inflating channel. After the completion of the inflating of the fuel system 11, the first interface 170 is detached from the fuel system 11, at this time, the gas in the inflating channel can be discharged through the second discharge channel 102.

[0039] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the second discharge channel 102 can also be cancelled, and in other embodiments, the gas in the inflating channel can also be discharged through the first discharge channel.

[0040] Further, in the embodiment, the second discharge channel 102 is provided with a parallel automatic exhaust valve 1021 and a manual exhaust valve 1022; and the end of the second discharge channel 102 is further provided with a second silencer 1023. The automatic exhaust valve 1021 can be electrically connected with the control body 210, after the completion of the inflating of the fuel system 11, the control body 210 can automatically control the opening of the automatic exhaust valve 1021, to realize the automatic control of the exhaust. Of course, in some cases, the operator can also manually operate the manual control valve to complete the discharge of the gas in the inflating channel. The second silencer 1023 is used to eliminate the noise of the exhaust.

[0041] It should be understood that in other embodiments, one of the manual solenoid valve and the automatic solenoid valve can also be cancelled.

[0042] In the embodiment, the automatic fuel system air tightness detection device 10 further comprises an adapter pipe 300; both ends of the adapter pipe 300 are provided with a second interface 310, one of which is used to access the first interface 170 close to the one-way valve 160; the other is used to access the fuel system 11. It is worth noting that the second interface 310 corresponding to the fuel system 11 can be replaced according to the actual interface of the fuel system 11, thereby when facing different models and different interfaces of the fuel system 11, only the adapter pipe 300 needs to be replaced to complete the conduction of the inflating assembly 100 and the fuel system 11, which can improve the application range of the automatic fuel system air tightness detection device 10.

[0043] In summary, in the automatic fuel system air tightness detection device 10 provided in the embodiment, an operator can issue an instruction through the operation main body 220 to determine the air pressure target value, and after inputting the air pressure target value, the control main body 210 controls the opening of the switch valve 110 and the inflation electromagnetic valve 150 to inflate the fuel system 11 with gas. Based on this, the operation can be facilitated and the operation difficulty can be reduced. In addition, during the inflation process, based on the second pressure data detected by the pressure reduction pressure sensor 130, the automatic pressure controller 140 adjusts the air pressure in the inflation channel until the air pressure in the inflation channel stabilizes at the air pressure target value, so as to facilitate the inflation of the fuel system 11 to the air pressure target value; thus, through the cooperation of the automatic pressure controller 140 and the pressure reduction pressure sensor 130, even if different testers perform the test, the air tightness test can be completed under the same conditions, and the consistency of the test results can be ensured. Based on this, the automatic fuel system air tightness detection device 10 can improve the technical problems of difficulty in execution and poor consistency of test results in the prior art.

[0044] The above merely describes the specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
