Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parts inspection technology, and more specifically, to an airtightness testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In airtightness testing, the most common method is the bubble method. The bubble method involves sealing the opening of the part, placing it in water, and then collecting the bubbles that leak out over a certain period of time to measure the amount of leakage. This allows for direct observation of the location and extent of the leak.

[0003] However, since the location and amount of leakage in the parts are unknown in advance, it is difficult to collect all the air bubbles, which affects the accuracy of the measurement. At the same time, all the parts used need to be soaked in water, so the parts need to be cleaned and dried after the test. It is impossible to achieve automatic and quantitative leak detection, which needs to be improved. Therefore, we propose an airtightness testing fixture. Utility Model Content

The hydraulic mechanism 11 is disposed on the left side of the working box 1. The fixing screw 10 is located on the left side of the hydraulic mechanism 11. The lower end of the fixing screw 10 passes through the left side of the hydraulic mechanism 11 and is threadedly connected to the left side of the working box 1. The hydraulic drive inner rod 22 is slidably connected inside the hydraulic mechanism 11. The right end of the hydraulic drive inner rod 22 is provided with a fixing pressure plate 20. The fixing pressure plate 20 is connected to the hydraulic drive inner rod 22. The right end of the inner rod 22 is fixedly connected, and the right end of the fixed pressure plate 20 is provided with a positioning sealing ring 19. The positioning sealing ring 19 is fixedly connected to the right end of the fixed pressure plate 20. The right side of the hydraulic mechanism 11 is provided with a sliding support rod 21. The sliding support rod 21 ensures that the hydraulic mechanism 11 operates smoothly during the positioning process. Through the action of the hydraulic mechanism 11, the internal hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic mechanism 11 drives the inner rod 22 to push the fixed pressure plate 20 to position and fix the fixture 2. The positioning sealing ring 19 is tightly fitted to the left end of the fixture 2, so that the left end of the fixture 2 is in a sealed state.

[0027] The air contact test assembly includes a perforated sealing ring 3, a first mounting block 4, a support rod 5, an air inlet pipe 8, and a mounting base plate 18. The mounting base plate 18 is located on the inner right side of the working chamber 1, and the support rod 5 is located on the left side of the mounting base plate 18. The support rod 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 18. The first mounting block 4 passes through the mounting base plate 18 and is located on the right side of the working chamber 1. The perforated sealing ring 3 is located at the left end of the first mounting block 4. An air contact hole is provided through the perforated sealing ring 3 and the first mounting block 4.

[0031] Working principle: When an airtightness test is required, the fixture 2 to be tested is placed on the fixture support 15. The hydraulic mechanism 11 is started. The hydraulic drive rod 22 inside the hydraulic mechanism 11 pushes the fixed pressure plate 20. The fixed pressure plate 20 pushes the positioning sealing ring 19. The positioning sealing ring 19 pushes the fixture 2 to slide to the right. The right side of the fixture 2 is supported by the perforated sealing ring 3, which fixes the position of the fixture 2. The air pump 9 is controlled by the air circuit valve 7 to pressurize the gas inside the fixture 2 through the air inlet pipe 8. The air circuit valve 7 is closed, and the reading of the direct pressure sensor 6 is observed to measure the airtightness of the fixture 2. When there is a leak in the fixture 2, the circulation pump 12 is started to add water to the inside of the working chamber 1. At the same time, the air circuit valve 7 is opened to slowly pressurize the gas inside the fixture 2. The location of the bubbles generated on the outside of the fixture 2 is observed to complete the investigation of the leak point of the fixture 2.
