Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of engine cylinder head leak detection equipment, specifically, to a rotary leak detection device for engine cylinder block and cylinder head. Background Technology
[0002] The engine cylinder head is a key component mounted on top of the cylinder block, used to seal the top of the cylinder and, together with the piston top and cylinder wall, form the combustion chamber. During the production process, the engine cylinder head needs to be tested for airtightness using an airtightness tester. The working principle of an airtightness tester is primarily based on the measurement of gas pressure changes or flow rates. High-precision sensors monitor the gas leakage inside or on the surface of the object being tested in real time, thereby determining whether a leak exists and accurately calculating the leakage amount. The specific operating method is as follows: gas at a certain pressure is introduced into the object being tested, the gas supply is then cut off, and the change in internal pressure is monitored. If the pressure drops beyond a threshold within a set time, a leak is identified.
[0003] Existing engine cylinder head leak detection equipment has low efficiency because: before leak detection, the cylinder head needs to be clamped and fixed, and other holes need to be sealed. After leak detection, the clamping and fixing and other hole sealing need to be released. These operations will prolong the overall detection time, resulting in low leak detection efficiency.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a rotary leak detection device for engine block and cylinder head, comprising:
[0030] Base 1;
[0031] Rotary leak detection mechanism 2 is installed on the top of engine base 1. Rotary leak detection mechanism 2 is used to automatically rotate cylinder head.
[0032] Air tightness testing mechanism 3 is located on top of rotary leak detection mechanism 2 and is used to test the air tightness of cylinder head.
[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the rotary leak detection mechanism 2 includes a support leg 21, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. A square base 22 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support leg 21, and a stepper motor 221 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the square base 22. A rotating base 223 is rotatably connected to the center of the top of the square base 22. A gear ring 224 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating base 223. The output shaft of the stepper motor 221 extends to the top of the square base 22 and is fixedly connected to a gear 222. The outer wall of the gear 222 and the gear ring 224 are fixedly connected. The outer wall meshing of 4, the detection gap, controls the stepper motor 221 to work, which can drive the gear 222 to rotate. Through the design of gear 222 meshing with gear ring 224, the rotating base 223 can be driven to rotate the cylinder head above it, thereby moving the pre-treated cylinder head to the detection station and transferring the detected cylinder head out. During the leak detection process, through the cooperation of three workers, pre-detection treatment and post-detection treatment can be carried out, basically achieving zero cylinder head pick-up and drop time and improving the overall efficiency of leak detection work.
[0034] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a limiting cylinder 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating base 223. A positioning bolt 24 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting cylinder 23. A movable leg 25 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the limiting cylinder 23. The threaded end of the positioning bolt 24 is movably connected to the outer wall of the movable leg 25. A detection turntable 26 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable leg 25. A mating clamp 27 is fixedly installed on the top of the detection turntable 26. The mating clamp 27 is an existing device used to fix cylinder heads of specified specifications. When changing different cylinder head products, different mating clamps 27 need to be replaced. First, loosen the positioning bolt 24 to release the state of locking the movable leg 25 in the inner cavity of the limiting cylinder 23. Then, the movable leg 25 can be pulled out from the inside of the limiting cylinder 23 to complete the disassembly of the detection turntable 26 and the mating clamp 27. Then, insert the replacement movable leg 25 into the limiting cylinder 23 and tighten the positioning bolt 24.
[0035] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the airtightness testing mechanism 3 includes a column 31, which is fixedly installed on the top of a square base 22. A top seat 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the column 31. An airtightness tester 33 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top seat 32. A test tube 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the airtightness tester 33. A multi-port pipe 341 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the test tube 34. A valve 342 is fixedly connected to the side of the multi-port pipe 341. A gooseneck tube 343 is fixedly connected to the end of the valve 342 away from the multi-port pipe 341. A test connector 344 is threadedly connected to the end of the gooseneck tube 343 away from the valve 342. A support arm 345 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the column 31. A plastic sleeve 346 is fixedly installed on the end of the support arm 345 away from the outer wall of the column 31. The gooseneck tube 343 is movably engaged within the inner wall of the plastic sleeve 346. Inside the cavity, the test connectors 344 at the ends of the four gooseneck tubes 343 are all of different specifications, which can be used for cylinder heads of different specifications. The valve 342 is initially closed. Before use, simply open the valve 342 corresponding to the test connector 344. During testing, connect the test connector 344 to the cylinder head and control the air tightness tester 33 to work. Pressurized gas is delivered into the cylinder head through the test tube 34, multi-port tube 341, valve 342, gooseneck tube 343 and test connector 344. After stabilization, observe for a period of time. If there is no change in air pressure, the air tightness of the cylinder head is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified. The plastic sleeve 346 is used to secure the idle gooseneck tube 343 for easy organization. The design that allows for quick switching of the test connector 344 can increase the processing efficiency of product replacement.
[0036] Working principle: During use, the cylinder head is pre-installed in the fitting fixture 27. The valve 342 corresponding to the designated test connector 344 is opened. During testing, the test connector 344 is connected to the cylinder head, and the air tightness tester 33 is controlled to work. Pressurized gas is delivered into the cylinder head through the test tube 34, multi-port tube 341, valve 342, gooseneck tube 343, and test connector 344. After stabilization, it is observed for a period of time. If there is no change in air pressure, the air tightness of the cylinder head is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified. After the test is completed, the test connector 344 is removed. During the test interval, the stepper motor 221 is controlled to work, which can drive the gear 222 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating base 223 to rotate the cylinder head above it. The pre-treated cylinder head can be moved to the test station, and the tested cylinder head can be transferred out. During the leak detection process, the pre-test treatment and post-test treatment can be carried out through the cooperation of three workers.
[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
