When the leakage is found in the final detection, the complex structure of the assembled product needs to be disassembled and reworked, which not only causes waste of raw materials, but also greatly increases the labor cost and production cycle, seriously affecting the manufacturing efficiency.

[0025] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the following will combine the drawings of the embodiments of the utility model to make a detailed description. Figures 1-4 The technical scheme of the embodiments of the utility model is described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] A manual leakage detection device for a cylinder shock absorber, as shown in Figure 1 , 2 The utility model discloses a kind of manual leakage detection devices for cylinder shock absorber, as shown in ,

[0027] Each air pipe 102 is connected to the joint of corresponding five-way joint 103 by flange at one end, and the flange connection in the above is sealed with O-ring, which reduces the air leakage rate and improves the sealing during connection. The air inlet of the five-way joint 103 is connected to the air guide pipe 106, and one end of the air guide pipe 106 is connected to the air outlet of the gas storage tank. After rotating the valve of the gas storage tank, the gas storage tank is opened, so that the discharged gas can pass through the air guide pipe 106, the five-way joint 103 and the air pipe 102 in sequence and enter the five first air holes.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , 2As shown: the upper part of the workbench 101 is provided with a plurality of second air guide holes in the vertical direction, the number of second air guide holes corresponds to the setting of the first air guide hole, that is, when the first air guide hole is set to five, the number of second air guide holes is also set to five, which can reduce the production cost (avoid excessive opening or insufficient opening when the number does not correspond), and also can correspond one by one between the first air guide hole and the second air guide hole, improve the convenience during use, and avoid connection errors during assembly (avoid connection errors during assembly that require the use of air guide holes).

[0029] The second air guide hole is communicated with the first air guide hole (because the first air guide hole is horizontally arranged and the second air guide hole is vertically arranged, the purpose of changing the direction of the gas is achieved), so that the gas passing through the first air guide hole can be introduced into the second air guide hole, and the purpose of further changing the direction of the gas is achieved. Each second air guide hole is connected with a gas leakage detection table 104 through threaded connection. After setting the gas leakage detection table 104, the pressure is observed after the pressure gas is introduced, and whether the welded oil storage cylinder and the bottom cover meet the standard can be judged, so that the detection can be carried out immediately after welding, and during the detection process, the detection time can be saved, and complex maintenance is not required, and the mechanical damage risk is also reduced.

[0030] The interface of the gas leakage detection table 104 is connected with a hose 105 through a buckle, and the other end of the hose 105 is connected in the detection hole of the oil storage cylinder through a threaded joint, so that the gas tank can be opened, the gas with pressure enters the five-way joint 103 through the air guide pipe 106, and then enters the gas leakage detection table 104 through the air pipe 102, the first air guide hole and the second air guide hole. Then, the gas enters the oil storage cylinder through the hose 105. At this time, whether the pressure of the gas leakage detection table 104 decreases can be observed to judge whether the welded oil storage cylinder and the bottom cover leak.

[0031] As shown: Figure 2 The upper part of the workbench 101 is provided with a plurality of clamping assemblies, and the number of clamping assemblies corresponds to the number of gas leakage detection tables 104, that is, when the gas leakage detection table 104 is set to five, the clamping assembly is also set to five groups, which can avoid resource waste caused by excessive setting, and can correspond one by one to avoid assembly errors during connection.

[0032] Each set of clamping assemblies comprises a mounting groove 201 arranged on the upper portion of the workbench 101, a linear sliding table 202 is connected in the mounting groove 201 by bolts, the linear sliding table 202 is connected in the mounting groove 201, which can save vertical space and avoid being exposed to the outside and being damaged by knocking with other objects. The linear sliding table 202 is slidably connected with a sliding block, the upper portion of the sliding block is fixedly connected with a driving block 203, the driving block 203 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 204 on the vertical surface close to one side of the air leakage detection table 104, so that the bottom of the oil storage cylinder abuts against the vertical surface of one side of the limiting plate 204, the sliding block on the linear sliding table 202 is driven to move away from one side of the air leakage detection table 104, which can further clamp and position various specifications of the oil storage cylinder, improve the applicability of the clamping assembly, and avoid shaking of the oil storage cylinder during detection.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2 , 3 : the upper portion of the workbench 101 and on the side away from the air leakage detection table 104 of the mounting groove 201 is bolted with a supporting block 205, which is used to support one end of the oil storage cylinder, so that both ends of the oil storage cylinder can be supported by cooperating with the driving block 203, further improving the stability of the oil storage cylinder when clamped. The upper portions of the driving block 203 and the supporting block 205 are both provided with arc-shaped grooves for adapting to the shell of the oil storage cylinder, further improving the stability of the oil storage cylinder support.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2 , 3 , 4: the upper portion of the workbench 101 and on the side away from the air leakage detection table 104 is provided with a plurality of limiting assemblies, the number of limiting assemblies corresponds to the number of clamping assemblies, that is, when the clamping assemblies are set to five groups, the limiting assemblies are also set to five groups.

[0035] Each set of limiting assemblies comprises a mounting plate 301 bolted on the upper portion of the workbench 101, and a blocking plate 302 is fixedly connected to the upper portion of the mounting plate 301. The blocking plate 302 is arranged to limit the other end of the oil storage cylinder, and the two ends of the oil storage cylinder can be limited by cooperating the limiting plate 204 with the blocking plate 302, thereby improving the positioning effect of the oil storage cylinder and avoiding shaking of the oil storage cylinder during air tightness detection.

[0036] The sealing gasket 303 is fixedly connected to the vertical surface of the blocking plate 302 on the side of the air leakage detection table 104. The sealing gasket 303 can avoid wear of the one end of the oil storage cylinder due to continuous friction, and can also seal the one end of the oil storage cylinder, further improving the accuracy of the air tightness detection. The sealing gasket 303 is made of rubber material, which can reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the sealing effect of the one end of the oil storage cylinder. The mounting hole 304 is formed in the vertical surface of the sealing gasket 303 away from the blocking plate 302. The mounting hole 304 is a blind hole structure, which can further fit the one end of the oil storage cylinder, so that the one end of the oil storage cylinder can be embedded in the mounting hole 304, further improving the sealing effect and the accuracy of the air tightness detection.

[0037] The reinforcing rib 305 is obliquely arranged between the vertical surface of the blocking plate 302 away from the sealing gasket 303 and the mounting plate 301, which can further improve the stability of the blocking plate 302, avoid the continuous friction of the clamping assembly on the blocking plate 302 when clamping the oil storage cylinder, and prevent the blocking plate 302 from being inclined or broken. The two ends of the reinforcing rib 305 are fixedly connected to the blocking plate 302 and the mounting plate 301, respectively, so that the inclined reinforcing rib 305 further improves the support effect of the blocking plate 302.

[0038] In use, the workbench 101 is placed on a table or other work platform on the side of the welding device (a welding device for welding the oil storage cylinder and the bottom cover). After the oil storage cylinder and the bottom cover are welded, the one side of the oil storage cylinder with the bottom cover is in contact with the limiting plate 204, and the straight line sliding table 202 is started to move the sliding block and the driving block 203 on it to the side of the blocking plate 302, so that the other end of the oil storage cylinder is in contact with the sealing gasket 303 on the blocking plate 302. Then the hose 105 is connected to the detection hole on the oil storage cylinder. If multiple oil storage cylinders need to be tested continuously, they are installed on the workbench 101 in sequence according to the above steps.

[0039] After the connection is completed, the valve on the gas storage tank is opened, and the gas enters the oil storage cylinder through the multiple pipelines. Whether the oil storage cylinder meets the standard can be judged by observing whether the pressure of the air leakage detection table 104 decreases. Therefore, the oil storage cylinder can be detected immediately after welding, and the oil storage cylinder can be quickly detected at the first time to avoid the situation that a large number of rework occurs due to unqualified products flowing into the subsequent process.

[0040] In addition, it needs to be explained that, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrally connected; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through intermediate medium, or the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles described in the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
