[0002] In aero-engines and gas turbines, the airtightness of additively manufactured parts is a key performance indicator, making airtightness testing crucial. Currently, the airtightness testing of additively manufactured parts mainly involves manually blocking the airflow channels and then immersing them in water for testing. If the sealing is not tight, it will affect the accuracy of the test results. Moreover, the operation of multi-channel parts is cumbersome, and the workload is large and the efficiency is low when testing batches of parts. Therefore, improvements are needed.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] This utility model provides an airtightness testing device, including a tray with multiple sets of testing air channels, each including interconnected testing holes and water injection holes.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of the present invention discloses an airtightness testing device, including a support plate 100, on which multiple sets of testing air channels 200 are provided. The testing air channels 200 include interconnected testing holes 210 and water injection holes 220. The workpiece 300 to be tested is installed on the support plate 100, and the testing port 310 of the workpiece 300 extends into the testing hole 210. A one-way valve 400 flowing towards the air inlet is installed in the testing port 310. The air inlet of the workpiece 300 to be tested is connected to an external air source through an air supply assembly 500. The air supply assembly is adjusted to realize the conduction or cutoff of gas.

[0020] The aforementioned airtightness testing device enables rapid alignment through the cooperation of the testing hole and testing port, and also facilitates the rapid alignment of other holes on the workpiece to be tested, allowing it to be accurately installed on the tray for convenient assembly and use. The setting of multiple sets of testing air channels can provide multiple testing stations, further improving work efficiency. In actual use, after all components are installed in place, water is injected into the water injection hole, and then the air supply component is connected. The airtightness is judged by observing whether there are air bubbles in the water injection hole. Overall, the operation is simple and the accuracy is high.

[0021] Furthermore, the gas supply assembly 500 includes a gas supply hose 510, a pipe connector 520 installed at one end of the gas supply hose 510, and a shut-off valve 530 installed at the other end of the gas supply hose 510, which is connected to an external gas source; the pipe connector 520 is connected to the air inlet of the workpiece 300 to be tested; the use of a gas supply hose can not only meet the required gas supply requirements, but also facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the pipe connector and the workpiece to be tested, which is convenient for practical use;

[0022] Furthermore, the shut-off valves of multiple gas supply components can converge at the gas supply pipe, which connects to an external gas source. When a workpiece needs to be tested, the corresponding shut-off valve can be opened, eliminating the need for separate disassembly and reassembly with an external gas source, thus facilitating practical application operations.

[0023] Furthermore, a support plate 600 is provided on one side of the support plate 100. The support plate 600 has multiple through holes 610 for installing the shut-off valve 530, so as to fix the shut-off valve and maintain it in a specific position. It also facilitates the convergence and conduction of multiple shut-off valves with the air intake pipe. It can also prevent the air delivery hose from scattering everywhere and avoid the problem of tangling and knotting, which is convenient for actual use.

[0024] Furthermore, the side wall of the support plate 100 away from the support plate 600 is provided with multiple processing holes 230. The processing holes 230 are used to connect the detection hole 210 and the water injection hole 220. A plug 700 is installed at the outer end of the processing hole 230. The processing hole mainly serves as the connection between the detection hole and the water injection hole. Drilling holes in the side wall of the cylinder support plate can meet the required effect and facilitate actual production and processing. The plug can limit the end of the processing hole, limit the direction of airflow, and ensure the accuracy of detection.

[0025] Furthermore, the water injection hole includes a first hole section and a second hole section that are interconnected. The bottom end of the second hole section is connected to the machining hole. The diameter of the second hole section is smaller than the diameter of the machining hole, while the diameter of the first hole section is larger than the diameter of the machining hole. The first hole section is larger and can hold more water. Combined with the smaller diameter of the second hole section (1-5mm), it can clearly form a bubble / bubbling effect when the airtightness is not up to standard, making it more intuitive and easier to check.

[0026] Furthermore, the top surface of the tray has countersunk holes corresponding to the other protruding flow outlets of the workpiece to be tested. The countersunk holes are used to accommodate the flow outlets, so that the entire workpiece to be tested is tightly installed on the top surface of the tray, so that the detection port can accurately match the detection hole. In addition, each countersunk hole is equipped with a suitable sealing gasket to seal the flow outlet and reduce the influence of other flow channels on the airtightness test of the detection port. It should be noted that the flow outlets of the workpiece to be tested can also be directly sealed with sealing parts, but the operation is more complicated than the above method, especially when batch workpiece testing is required. Disassembling and assembling the sealing parts will affect the overall efficiency. Therefore, the above method is preferred.

[0027] This utility model has been described through preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein; other embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
