Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of air tightness detection, in particular to a plug structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The liquid accumulation tank is an important component in the negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), and the sealing performance of the liquid accumulation tank is one of the important factors affecting the normal implementation of the NPWT. When the gas sealing performance of the liquid accumulation tank is insufficient, the pressure sensor of the NPWT system cannot obtain the accurate pressure of the closed wound, so that the NPWT system cannot exert the accurate negative pressure on the closed wound, and the closed wound cannot be treated well, and in severe cases, the NPWT system cannot operate normally. Therefore, the gas sealing performance of the liquid accumulation tank needs to be strictly detected in the production process of the liquid accumulation tank.
[0003] However, since the liquid accumulation tank is provided with air holes on two sides, when the liquid accumulation tank is pressed to block one side of the air hole to detect the air tightness of the liquid accumulation tank, the liquid accumulation tank will be tilted due to the pressing problem, so that a gap will be generated between the air hole and the air tightness detection equipment, and thus the detection will be inaccurate. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] The plug structure provided by the present application comprises a substrate, a balance module and a gas blocking module mounted on the same side of the substrate, and the balance module and the gas blocking module are arranged at two ends of the substrate in the maximum length direction.
[0006] In one embodiment, the balance module comprises a stand and an elastic buffer block, and the two ends of the stand are connected to the substrate and the buffer block.
[0007] In one embodiment, the buffer block is an arc surface relative to the other side of the stand.
[0008] In one embodiment, the buffer block is spherical.
[0009] In one embodiment, the gas blocking module is provided with an elastic pressure head block at one end away from the substrate.
[0010] In one embodiment, the balance module and the gas blocking module are perpendicular to the substrate.
[0011] In one embodiment, a backing plate is further arranged between the gas blocking module and the substrate.
[0012] In one embodiment, the lowest point of the gas blocking module in the vertical direction is lower than the lowest point of the balance module in the vertical direction.
[0013] In one embodiment, the height difference between the air blocking module and the balancing module is in the range of 1-5mm.
[0014] The present application has at least the following advantages:
[0015] In the present application, a force point is added by the balancing module when the air blocking mechanism is pressing the workpiece. The pressure is applied on two points on the same surface of the workpiece, and the two force points are located on both sides of the air hole on the other surface of the workpiece. The air hole on the other surface of the workpiece is used as a fulcrum to keep the position of the workpiece stable and prevent the workpiece from tilting.
[0016] In addition, the balancing module and the air blocking module are arranged on the base plate in the maximum length direction. The distance between the air blocking module and the fulcrum is fixed. The larger the distance between the balancing module and the air blocking module, the larger the force arm of the balancing module to the fulcrum. Since the air blocking module needs to press the workpiece to apply a larger pressure to ensure the closure of the air hole, under the premise that the torque of the air blocking module to the workpiece is fixed, based on the lever principle, the length of the force arm of the balancing module to the fulcrum is as long as possible in the present application. Then, the pressure applied by the balancing module to the workpiece is relatively smaller than the pressure applied by the air blocking module to the workpiece, which can ensure that the torque of the balancing module and the air blocking module to the workpiece is matched, that is, the workpiece is effectively balanced, and damage to the workpiece caused by excessive force applied by the balancing module to the workpiece can be avoided.

[0033] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Referring to Figure 4 , the workpiece 3 to be implemented in the present application is a liquid accumulation tank, and the workpiece 3 is provided with an upper air hole 31 and a lower air hole 32 on the opposite surfaces. The lower air hole 32 is relatively protruded from the lower surface of the workpiece 3 to form a boss structure. Exemplarily, the number of lower air holes 32 is two, and the upper air hole 31 and the lower air hole 32 are not in the same vertical plane.
[0035] The workpiece 3 is subjected to airtightness test, and the airtightness test is shown in Figure 1 , 2 In some embodiments of the present application, a plug structure is provided, which is pressed towards the workpiece 3 from the side of the workpiece 3 provided with the upper air hole 31, comprising: a base plate 21, and a balance module 22 and a gas plugging module 23 mounted on the same side of the base plate 21, the gas plugging module 23 is pressed on the upper air hole 31, and the balance module 22 is pressed on the surface of the workpiece 3. The balance module 22 and the gas plugging module 23 are arranged at both ends of the base plate 21 in the maximum length direction L. Compared with other layout modes of the balance module 22 and the gas plugging module 23, the spacing distance of the balance module 22 and the gas plugging module 23 is the largest in the present scheme.
[0036] The balancing module 22 and the plugging module 23 apply pressure to two points on the same surface of the workpiece 3, and the lower air hole 32 serves as a fulcrum. At this time, the workpiece 3 actually presents a lever, and the balancing module 22 and the plugging module 23 apply downward pressure on both sides of the fulcrum, which can ensure the balance of the workpiece 3, i.e., avoid the workpiece 3 from tilting.
[0037] More importantly, the balancing module 22 and the plugging module 23 are arranged on the base plate 21 in the maximum length direction L, and the positions of the upper air hole 31 and the lower air hole 32 are relatively fixed, so that the distance between the plugging module 23 and the fulcrum is fixed. When the distance between the balancing module 22 and the plugging module 23 increases, the actual force arm of the balancing module 22 to the fulcrum increases. In the plugging process, the end of the plugging module 23 in contact with the workpiece 3 is a resilient pressure head block 231. The pressure head block 231 is tightly fitted with the upper air hole 31 through elastic deformation of the pressure head block 231. In order to ensure the fitting effect, the plugging module 23 needs to apply a relatively large pressure on the upper air hole 31 to ensure that the upper air hole 31 is closed. The pressure applied by the plugging module 23 on the upper air hole 31 and the fixed distance between the plugging module 23 and the fulcrum make the torque of the plugging module 23 on the workpiece 3 fixed. Under the above premise, based on the lever principle, the length of the force arm of the balancing module 22 to the fulcrum is as long as possible in the present scheme, so that the pressure applied by the balancing module 22 on the workpiece 3 is relatively smaller than the pressure applied by the plugging module 23 on the workpiece 3, which can ensure that the torque of the balancing module 22 and the plugging module 23 on the workpiece 3 is matched, i.e., effectively keep the workpiece 3 balanced, and also avoid the workpiece 3 from being damaged by the excessive force applied by the balancing module 22.
[0038] In the present scheme, the structure strength at the air hole position of the workpiece 3 is strengthened due to the need to insert the air pipe, so that the upper air hole 31 and the lower air hole 32 can bear greater pressure. The force applied by the balancing module 22 acts on the shell of the workpiece 3, and the workpiece 3 itself is made of plastic material. If the pressure applied by the balancing module 22 on the shell is too large, it will cause the shell to stretch and deform. In order to ensure the balance of the workpiece 3 and prevent the workpiece 3 from deforming, the pressure applied by the balancing module 22 on the workpiece 3 is required to be smaller than the pressure applied by the plugging module 23 on the upper air hole 31.
[0039] Further, the balancing module 22 includes a column 221 and a resilient buffer block 222. The two ends of the column 221 are connected to the base plate 21 and the buffer block 222. The resilient buffer block 222 in contact with the workpiece can absorb part of the force through the deformation of the buffer block 222 to reduce the damage of the balancing module 22 to the workpiece 3. Specifically, the buffer block 222 is an arc surface relative to the other side of the connecting column 221, i.e., the surface of the buffer block 222 in contact with the workpiece 3 is an arc surface. By reducing the contact area of the buffer block 222 and the workpiece 3, the positional stability between the balancing module 22 and the workpiece 3 during pressing is improved. For example, the buffer block 222 is spherical.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the balancing module 22 and the air blocking module 23 are both perpendicular to the base plate 21. The balancing module 22 and the air blocking module 23 are perpendicular to the base plate 21, so that the support force of the workpiece 3 on the balancing module 22 and the air blocking module 23 is consistent with the extension direction of the balancing module 22 and the air blocking module 23, reducing the shear stress on the balancing module 22 and the air blocking module 23, reducing the mechanical fatigue at the connection between the balancing module 22, the air blocking module 23 and the base plate 21, so that the balancing module 22 and the air blocking module 23 are not easily broken, thereby increasing the service life.
[0041] The plug structure also includes a backing plate 24, which is arranged between the air blocking module 23 and the base plate 21. The length of the air blocking module 23 to the base plate 21 is increased by the backing plate 24. In the present solution, as shown in Figure 3 The lowest point of the air blocking module 23 in the vertical direction is lower than the lowest point of the balancing module 22 in the vertical direction. The upper gas hole 31 in the workpiece 3 is arranged in the recess on the upper surface of the workpiece 3, so that the upper surface of the upper gas hole 31 is lower than the upper surface of the workpiece 3. In order to ensure that the air blocking module 23 can be pressed on the upper gas hole 31, and the air blocking module 23 is pressed on the upper surface of the workpiece 3, and to prevent the air blocking module 23 from having too large a stroke to damage the housing, in the present solution, the air blocking module 23 has a height difference with the balancing module 22. Under the same stroke, the air blocking module 23 contacts the workpiece 3 before the balancing module 22, or the air blocking module 23 and the balancing module 22 contact the workpiece 3 at the same time. The torque of the balancing module 22 and the air blocking module 23 on the workpiece 3 is adapted, specifically, in the case that the air blocking module 23 and the balancing module 22 contact the workpiece 3 at the same time, the torque of the balancing module 22 and the air blocking module 23 on the workpiece 3 is consistent. In the case that the air blocking module 23 contacts the workpiece 3 before the balancing module 22, the torque of the balancing module 22 on the workpiece 3 is slightly greater than the torque of the air blocking module 23 on the workpiece 3. After the air blocking module 23 presses the workpiece 3 to produce a tilt, the balancing module 22 can correct the position of the workpiece 3, so that the workpiece 3 returns to the balanced position. Exemplarily, the height difference h between the air blocking module 23 and the balancing module 22 is in the range of 1-5mm.
[0042] The above embodiments are used to further illustrate the present application, but do not limit the present application to these specific embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be understood as within the protection scope of the present application.
