[0020] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the following embodiments.
[0021] Example 1.
[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an air vent detection device for an automotive airbag generator housing includes a detection platform 1. An adjustment groove 2 is provided on the top of the detection platform 1. An adjustment plate 3 is installed inside the adjustment groove 2. The adjustment plate 3 moves horizontally along the detection platform 1. Detection bases 4 are installed at intervals on the adjustment plate 3. Insertion and installation slots 5 are provided on the detection bases 4. Two sets of first arched brackets 6 and second arched brackets 7 of different heights are installed in parallel on the detection platform 1. A hole diameter detection mechanism 8 and a penetration detection mechanism 9 are respectively installed on the first arched brackets 6 and the second arched brackets 7.
[0023] The adjusting slide 2 is opened along the length of the testing table 1, and a guide rail is provided inside it. The slider at the bottom of the adjusting plate 3 slides in cooperation with the guide rail. The driving motor installed inside the testing table 1 adjusts the displacement of the adjusting plate 3. It can be moved horizontally by manual or electric drive. The testing bases 4 on the adjusting plate 3 are distributed at equal intervals. The shape of the insertion mounting groove 5 is adapted to the bottom of the car airbag generator housing. The car airbag generator housing is stably fixed by interference fit or elastic snap-fit structure to avoid displacement during the testing process.
[0024] The first arched bracket 6 and the second arched bracket 7 are both made of high-strength alloy material and are vertically fixed to the upper surface of the testing table 1. They are distributed parallel to each other along the length of the testing table 1. The height of the first arched bracket 6 is lower than that of the second arched bracket 7. They correspond to the aperture detection station and the transparency detection station of the air vent of the car airbag generator housing, respectively, so that the testing process can be carried out continuously and the testing efficiency can be improved.
[0025] The aperture detection mechanism 8 includes several fixed seats 10. The fixed seats 10 are installed at the bottom of the first arched support 6. A lifting cylinder 11 is installed on the fixed seat 10. The lifting cylinder 11 is connected to the detection head 12. A laser diameter measuring device 13 is installed inside the detection head 12. The laser diameter measuring device 13 is electrically connected to a sensor 14. The sensor 14 is installed in parallel on the top of the first arched support 6.
[0026] The fixed base 10 is installed according to the spacing of the detection base 4. The lifting cylinder 11 is vertically fixed to the bottom of the fixed base 10. Its piston rod is rigidly connected to the detection head 12, which can drive the detection head 12 to move up and down, so that the detection head 12 is aligned with the air outlet of the car airbag generator housing. The laser diameter measuring instrument 13 adopts a high-precision laser sensor, which can measure the inner diameter of the air outlet in real time. The measurement data is transmitted to the sensor 14 through an electrical signal. The sensor 14 feeds back the data to an external control system that can be manually operated, so as to realize the real-time recording and analysis of the detection data.
[0027] The transparency testing mechanism 9 includes several air pumps 15, which are installed on the top of the second arched support 7. Below the air pumps 15, there is an electrically controlled telescopic rod 16 that passes through the second arched support 7. The electrically controlled telescopic rod 16 has a hollow structure inside and an air inlet pipe 17 is connected inside. A sealing joint 18 is connected to the bottom of the electrically controlled telescopic rod 16.
[0028] The spacing between the air pump 15 and the test base 4 corresponds one-to-one. The length of the electrically controlled telescopic rod 16 can be precisely adjusted to drive the sealing joint 18 to move up and down, so that the sealing joint 18 is tightly fitted with the air outlet of the car airbag generator housing. The air inlet pipe 17 runs through the inside of the electrically controlled telescopic rod 16 to realize the gas communication between the air pump 15 and the sealing joint 18, providing a gas source channel for the permeability test of the air outlet.
[0029] The top of the second arched support 7 has a rectangular groove 19, and an air intake assembly 20 is installed inside the rectangular groove 19. The air intake assembly 20 includes a main air pipe 21, one end of which is connected to an external air source, and the other end of which is connected to a branch air pipe 22. The branch air pipe 22 is connected to the air pump 15.
[0030] The rectangular slot 19 provides installation space for the air intake assembly 20. The main air pipe 21 diverts the gas from the external air source to each branch air pipe 22, and then delivers it to the corresponding air pump 15 through the branch air pipe 22, so as to realize simultaneous air supply at multiple stations and ensure that multiple car airbag generator housings can be tested for transparency at the same time, thereby improving testing efficiency.
[0031] The bottom of the testing table 1 is equipped with four support feet 23, and a support column 24 is installed in the center of the support feet 23. The bottom of the support column 24 is fitted with a shock-absorbing foot 25. The support feet 23 and the support column 24 work together to provide stable support for the testing table 1. The shock-absorbing foot 25 is made of rubber and has good shock absorption performance. It can absorb the vibration generated by the operation of the equipment during the testing process and avoid the vibration from interfering with the testing accuracy.
[0032] A sealing gasket 26 is installed on the inner wall of the sealing joint 18. The top of the sealing joint 18 is connected to the air intake pipe 17. A pressure gauge 27 is connected inside the sealing joint 18. The sealing gasket 26 enhances the sealing between the sealing joint 18 and the air outlet of the car airbag generator housing, preventing gas leakage from affecting the test results. The pressure gauge 27 can monitor the air pressure changes inside the sealing joint 18 in real time. If the air outlet has good permeability, the air pressure will remain stable or decrease at a set rate. If there is a blockage, the air pressure will continue to rise. This is used to determine the permeability of the air outlet and feed the test results back to the control system.
[0033] When using this invention, the airbag generator housing is inserted into the insertion mounting slot 5 and fixed according to the specifications of the airbag generator housing. After starting the equipment, the adjusting plate 3 moves the airbag generator housing sequentially to below the first arched bracket 6 and the second arched bracket 7. The lifting cylinder 11 on the first arched bracket 6 drives the detection head 12 to move down, and the laser diameter measuring instrument 13 detects the diameter of the air outlet. The data is transmitted to the control system via the sensor 14. Subsequently, the airbag generator housing moves to below the second arched bracket 7, and the electrically controlled telescopic rod 16 moves the sealing joint 18 down to fit with the air outlet. The air pump 15 inflates the air through the air intake pipe 17, and the air pressure gauge 27 monitors the air pressure change to determine the permeability. During the test, the shock-absorbing support foot 25 at the bottom of the support foot 23 reduces vibration interference and ensures the test accuracy.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
