Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment, and in particular to an automatic airtightness testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Air tightness testing is a key step in ensuring product quality in industrial production. It is widely used in fields with strict sealing requirements, such as new energy vehicle battery packs, medical devices, and electronic products (e.g., connectors). Traditional testing methods mainly rely on manual operation or semi-automated equipment, which have problems such as low efficiency, unstable accuracy, and difficulty in seamlessly integrating with the production line.

[0003] Existing automatic airtightness testing equipment includes a feeding device, an airtightness testing device, and a discharging device. The feeding device places products from the previous process onto a tray. A first robotic arm picks up products from the tray one by one and places them onto the airtightness testing device. Then, a second robotic arm picks up products from the airtightness testing device one by one and places them onto the discharging device. In this structure, the first and second robotic arms are set to feed and unload the airtightness testing device one by one, causing products to stay at the airtightness testing device for too long, prolonging the single testing cycle, resulting in low product testing efficiency. Furthermore, since it uses a tray for feeding and a box for receiving, it cannot be matched with equipment in previous production steps and equipment in subsequent production steps, thus failing to meet the needs of production line production.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above, this utility model addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology and its main objective is to provide an automatic airtightness testing device. This device comprises two airtightness testing devices, a PPU handling robot, and a synchronous displacement device. The second carrier has a greater number of product placement positions than the first carrier. The PPU handling robot's alternating rapid loading and unloading, combined with the synchronous displacement device's dual-station setup, allows for the simultaneous testing of multiple products, improving testing efficiency. Furthermore, both the loading and unloading modules are equipped with two first X-axis moving mechanisms, each with a first carrier that can move along the Y-axis. This facilitates easy docking of the first carrier with equipment in preceding and subsequent production steps. The two first carriers can also cross-feed or unload materials, reducing waiting time and further improving testing efficiency.

[0056] First, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, including a machine platform 10 and a feeding module 20, an airtightness detection module 30, and a discharging module 40 arranged sequentially and at equal intervals along the X-axis on the machine platform 10.

[0058] Both the loading module 20 and the unloading module 40 have a transfer station 50 and two transfer stations 60 located on both sides of the transfer station 50 along the Y-axis. A transfer station 70 is provided between the transfer station 60 and the transfer station 50. The transfer station 60, the transfer station 50, and the transfer station 70 are arranged at equal intervals along the Y-axis.

[0059] The transfer station 50 is provided with a first X-axis moving mechanism 51 on both sides of the Y-axis. The first X-axis moving mechanism 51 is provided with a first carrier 52 and a Y-axis moving mechanism 53 that drives the first carrier 52 to move along the Y-axis. The Y-axis moving mechanism 53 drives the first carrier 52 to move back and forth between the transfer station 50 and the first X-axis moving mechanism 51.

[0060] See Figure 3 As shown, the first X-axis moving mechanism 51 includes a first X-axis moving component 511 and a first X-axis moving seat 512. The Y-axis moving mechanism 53 is disposed on the first X-axis moving seat 512. The first X-axis moving component 511 drives the Y-axis moving mechanism 53 to move along the X-axis through the first X-axis moving seat 512. The Y-axis moving mechanism 53 includes a first Y-axis moving component 531 and a connecting block 532. The first carrier 52 is disposed on the connecting block 532. The first Y-axis moving component 531 drives the first carrier 52 to move along the Y-axis through the connecting block 532.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first X-axis moving component 511 is a servo electric cylinder, and the Y-axis moving mechanism 53 is a pneumatic cylinder. The Y-axis moving mechanism 53 is designed to facilitate docking and prevent collisions between the two Y-axis moving mechanisms 53. It can also reduce the distance between the two first X-axis moving components 511, making the structure more compact. At the same time, it allows the two first carriers 52 to dock alternately, further improving efficiency.

[0062] The transfer station 60 is equipped with a second carrier 61 and a second X-axis moving mechanism 62 that drives the second carrier 61 to move along the X-axis; specifically, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second X-axis moving mechanism 62 includes a second X-axis moving component 621 and a second X-axis moving seat 622. The second carrier 61 is disposed on the second X-axis moving seat 622. The second X-axis moving component 621 drives the second carrier 61 to move along the X-axis through the second X-axis moving seat 622. The transfer station 70 is provided with a positioning seat 71 for placing products. The first carrier 52, the positioning seat 71, and the second carrier 61 are all set at the same height.

[0063] In this embodiment, a waiting station 623 is provided at one end of the second X-axis moving component 621 near the airtightness detection module 30. The second carrier 61 of the loading module 20 will move to the waiting station 623 after loading the material for the airtightness detection module 30 to pick up the material, and the second carrier 61 of the unloading module 40 will move to the waiting station 623 for the airtightness detection module 30 to unload the material; the second X-axis moving component 621 is a servo electric cylinder.

[0064] Both the loading module 20 and the unloading module 40 are equipped with PPU handling robots 80. Each PPU handling robot 80 has four equally spaced first picking and placing components 81. The PPU handling robot 80 is used to alternately transport products from the first carrier 52 to two second carriers 61. The number of product placement positions on the second carriers 61 is greater than the number of product placement positions on the first carriers 52. The PPU handling robot 80 moves in an inverted U-shape, which is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] See Figure 3 As shown, the first pick-and-place component 81 is a suction head. For the feeding module 20, the two first pick-and-place components 81 located in the middle are used to pick up materials from the first carrier 52 and place them onto the positioning seat 71, while the two first pick-and-place components 81 located on both sides are used to pick up materials from the positioning seat 71 and place them onto the second carrier 61. While the two rear first pick-and-place components 81 are feeding materials onto the second carrier 61 and the positioning seat 71 respectively, the two front first pick-and-place components 81 will pick up materials from the first carrier 52 and the positioning seat 71. This achieves alternating feeding between the two stations. Both the first carrier 52 and the second carrier 61 will move along the X-axis, facilitating picking up materials from the first carrier 52 and feeding materials onto the second carrier 61. (See reference...) Figure 2As shown, the material feeding and unloading of the unloading module 40 is the opposite of that of the loading module 20, so it will not be described in detail.

[0066] The air tightness testing module 30 is provided with two air tightness testing devices 31 and two synchronous displacement devices 32 arranged along the Y-axis. The synchronous displacement device 32 is used to place the product on the second carrier 61 of the feeding module 20 onto the air tightness testing device 31 and at the same time place the product on the air tightness testing device 31 onto the second carrier 61 of the unloading module 40.

[0067] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the airtightness testing device 31 includes an airtightness tester 311 and a product fixing mechanism 312. The product fixing mechanism 312 includes a third carrier 313, a blocking component 314, a pressing component 315, and an inflation component 316. The blocking component 314 and the inflation component 316 are arranged opposite to each other, and the airtightness tester 311 is connected to the inflation component 316. The blocking component 314 includes a blocking block 3141 and a first cylinder 3142 that drives the blocking block 3141 to move along the Y-axis. The pressing component 315... 15 is disposed on the top of the stop block 3141. The first cylinder 3142 drives the stop block 3141 to move along the Y-axis, thereby driving the pressing assembly 315 to move along the Y-axis. The pressing assembly 315 includes a pressing block 3151 and a second cylinder 3152 that drives the pressing block 3151 to move along the Y-axis. The inflation assembly 316 includes a connector 3161 for inserting the product and a third cylinder 3162 that drives the connector 3161 to move along the Y-axis. The air tightness tester 311 is connected to the connector 3161.

[0068] Specifically, the machine base 10 is provided with a support frame 90, two air tightness testers 311 are sequentially arranged on the top of the support frame 90 along the X-axis, two PPU handling robots 80 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support frame 90 along the X-axis, two synchronous displacement devices 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support frame 90 along the Y-axis, and the product fixing mechanism 312 is arranged on a sliding seat 317. The sliding seat 317 is slidably arranged on the machine base 10 along the Y-axis. The machine base 10 is provided with a fixing component 318 for fixing the sliding seat 317 on the side. The fixing component 318 can be a clamp. The end of the product fixing mechanism 312 near the support frame 90 is located below the synchronous displacement device 32.

[0069] See Figure 2As shown, the synchronous displacement device 32 includes a third X-axis moving component 321, an X-axis sliding plate 322 disposed on the third X-axis moving component 321, a Z-axis moving component 323 disposed on the X-axis sliding plate 322, and a Z-axis sliding plate 324 connected to the Z-axis moving component 323. The Z-axis sliding plate 324 is provided with two sets of second pick-and-place components 325 that match the product placement positions on the second carrier 61. The second pick-and-place components 325 are suction heads. The unloading module 40 A defective product unloading station 100 is set between the transfer station 60 and the intermediate transfer station 70. The defective product unloading station 100 is equipped with a storage box 1001, which is fixed to the side of the positioning seat 71. The PPU handling robot 80 of the unloading module 40 can selectively stop the first picking and placing component 81 above the defective product unloading station 100 based on the detection information of the air tightness detection device 31. When the air tightness detection is poor, the first picking and placing component 81 will place the product into the storage box.

[0070] Specifically, the two sets of second pick-up and drop-off components 325 pick up products from the second carrier 61 at the waiting station 623 of the loading module 20 while simultaneously picking up products from the third carrier 313. During unloading, the products picked up from the waiting station 623 of the loading module 20 are placed on the third carrier 313, and the products picked up from the third carrier 313 are placed on the second carrier 61 at the waiting station 623 of the unloading module 40.

[0071] In this embodiment, the second carrier 61 and the third carrier 313 have 8 product placement positions, and the first carrier 52 has 4 product placement positions; see reference Figure 5 As shown, the machine base 10 is covered with a machine cover 110, and the input end of the first X-axis moving component 511 of the feeding module 20 and the output end of the first X-axis moving component 511 of the unloading module 40 both extend outward beyond the machine cover 110.

[0072] The key design feature of this utility model is:

[0073] The main features include two airtightness testing devices, a PPU handling robot, and a synchronous displacement device. The second carrier has more product placement positions than the first carrier. The PPU handling robot's alternating rapid loading and unloading, combined with the synchronous displacement device and the dual-station setup, allows for simultaneous testing of multiple products, improving efficiency. Both the loading and unloading modules have two first X-axis moving mechanisms, each with a first carrier that can move along the Y-axis. This facilitates docking of the first carrier with equipment from preceding and subsequent production steps. Furthermore, the two first carriers can cross-feed or unload materials, reducing waiting time and further enhancing testing efficiency.
