Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shell sealing detection, and specifically relates to a thin-walled shell gas seal detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Gas tightness testing uses a tracer gas (helium) to determine the sealing performance of components with internal cavities that are either vacuum-sealed or contain air or other gases. Defects on any part of the surface of a sealing element can allow harmful impurities to enter the internal cavity, thereby reducing the effective lifespan of the element. Gas tightness testing can detect leaks caused by the use of inferior sealing materials or poor sealing processes.

[0003] The sealing process of the outer shell involves welding at the top. The bottom and left / right parts of the outer shell have openings and are not sealed. The airtightness test of the outer shell is performed on the welding process at the top. During the test, the bottom, left and right parts of the outer shell must be sealed in order to achieve the airtightness test.

[0004] Chinese patent application number CN202023190524.1 discloses a convenient testing device for the casing of a large water pump.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] The shell to be tested is rectangular in shape, with openings on the bottom and left and right sides that are not sealed. The airtightness test of the shell is to test the airtightness of the welding process on the top of the shell. During the test, the bottom, left and right sides of the shell must be sealed in order to achieve the airtightness test.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a thin-walled shell gas tightness testing device, including: a testing platform 1, a fixing plate 2, a product placement mechanism 3, a pressing mechanism 4 and a horizontal pressing mechanism 5, wherein the fixing plate 2 is fixed on the testing platform 1, and the product placement mechanism 3, the pressing mechanism 4 and the horizontal pressing mechanism 5 are installed above the fixing plate;

[0037] Please see Figure 2 The fixing plate 2 is provided with mounting holes 201 for the pressing mechanism, 203 for the sealing gasket, 204 for the fixing plate, and 205 for the horizontal pressing mechanism. Screws pass through the mounting holes 204 to mount the fixing plate 2 onto the testing table. A square groove is provided in the middle of the fixing plate 2 as the sealing groove mounting position 202. The mounting holes on the fixing plate 2 are used to install the product placement mechanism 3, the pressing mechanism 4, and the horizontal pressing mechanism 5.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 The product placement mechanism 3 includes a sealing gasket 301 and a support block 305, the support block 305 having the same shape as the inside of the outer shell. This makes the thin-walled outer shell less prone to being squeezed and deformed during testing.

[0039] The sealing gasket 301 is square, with an area larger than the central cavity of the sealing block 304, and is placed between the fixing plate 2 and the sealing block 304 to ensure a sealing effect on the bottom of the outer shell.

[0040] The support block 305 is provided with a support block mounting hole 303. Screws pass through the support block mounting hole 303, the sealing gasket 301, and the fixing plate 2 to fix the three together. The sealing gasket is then fixed.

[0041] The product placement mechanism 3 also includes a sealing block 304, which has a square cavity in the middle, and the width of the cavity matches the length of the outer shell. The sealing block 304 is provided with a sealing block mounting hole 302, and screws are used to install the sealing block 304 through the sealing block mounting hole 302 and the fixing plate mounting hole 204.

[0042] Please see Figure 6 A raised rib 306 is provided around the square hole on the downward-facing side of the sealing block 304. This prevents the sealing gasket from wrinkling and thus reducing the sealing effect.

[0043] Please see Figure 4 The pressing mechanism 4 includes: an adjusting column 401, a cylinder fixing plate 402, a dual-axis cylinder 403, a pressing mechanism adjusting valve 404, and a pressing plate 407. The adjusting column 401 is mounted on the fixing plate 2 through the pressing mechanism mounting hole 201. The cylinder fixing plate 402 is mounted on the adjusting column 401. The dual-axis cylinder 403 is mounted on the cylinder fixing plate 402 through M4 screws 405. The extended end of the dual-axis cylinder 403 is aligned with the product placement mechanism 3. The pressing plate 407 is mounted on the extended end of the dual-axis cylinder 403 through screws. The pressing mechanism adjusting valve 404 is located at the inlet and outlet of the dual-axis cylinder 403.

[0044] The pressure plate 407 has a U-shaped cross-section with the opening facing downwards. The width of the opening matches the length of the outer casing. There is a pressure plate mounting hole 406 on the top of the pressure plate.

[0045] Please see Figure 5 The horizontal pressing mechanism 5 includes: a finger cylinder 501, a horizontal pressing plate 505, and a rubber pad 504. The horizontal pressing plate 505 is installed on the movable part of the finger cylinder 501, and the rubber pad 504 is installed on the horizontal pressing plate 505.

[0046] The horizontal pressing mechanism 5 also includes: a horizontal pressing mechanism regulating valve 502, which is located at the inlet and outlet of the finger cylinder 501; the finger cylinder 501 has a finger cylinder mounting hole 503, and screws pass through the finger cylinder mounting hole 503 and the horizontal pressing mechanism mounting hole 205 to fix the finger cylinder 501 on the fixing plate 2.

[0047] The spacing, quantity, and size of the 504 stainless steel rubber gaskets correspond to the circular openings on the left and right sides of the outer casing. This ensures a tight seal for the openings on the left and right sides of the outer casing.

[0048] Working principle: The dual-axis cylinder is controlled by operating the downward pressing mechanism adjustment valve, and the finger cylinder is controlled by operating the horizontal pressing mechanism adjustment valve. Before use, the pressing plate is raised and the horizontal pressing plate is opened. When testing for air tightness, the shell to be tested is placed in the product placement mechanism, and the support block is inserted into the bottom of the shell. Using the downward pressing mechanism of the device, the dual-axis cylinder extends, so that the pressing plate presses the shell. The extension position of the dual-axis cylinder can be adjusted by the adjustment column to achieve tight contact between the lower part of the shell and the sealing gasket. The finger cylinder is used to achieve sealing on the left and right sides. The finger cylinder opens and closes to the left and right, so that the rubber gasket makes tight contact with the openings on the left and right sides of the shell, achieving the sealing requirements.

[0049] This invention utilizes a support block within the device to prevent the thin-walled outer shell from deforming during airtightness testing; a sealing gasket placed at the bottom of the outer shell, combined with a pressing mechanism, seals the bottom of the outer shell; a rubber gasket, combined with the pressing of a finger cylinder, seals the left and right openings of the outer shell; and screws passing through the support block and sealing gasket to mount them on a fixed plate, along with the design of raised ribs at the bottom of the sealing block, prevent the sealing gasket from shifting, being lost, or wrinkling, which could lead to a poorer sealing effect.

[0050] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely specific examples of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
