Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tank core testing technology, specifically to a device for testing automotive water tank cores. Background Technology

[0002] The car radiator, also known as a water tank, is a key component of the car's cooling system. Its main function is to dissipate the heat generated by the engine during operation, ensuring that the engine operates within a suitable temperature range. Structurally, a car radiator typically consists of an upper tank, a lower tank, and a radiator core connecting the two. The upper tank usually has a filler neck and a pressure cap for adding coolant and maintaining system pressure. The lower tank is connected to the engine's cooling circulation pipes and is responsible for the inlet and outlet of the coolant. The radiator core is the core part of the radiator that enables its heat dissipation function. It consists of numerous cooling pipes and fins. Coolant flows inside the cooling pipes, while the fins increase the heat dissipation area, enabling more efficient heat transfer to the surrounding air. Testing devices are used when checking the airtightness of the radiator core.

[0003] Current automotive radiator core inspection devices generally use visual sensors to scan the surface of the core, acquire its appearance image, and then use image recognition technology to analyze whether the core has appearance defects, such as deformation or damage, in order to detect whether the radiator core has leakage. However, this method can only detect the condition of the outer surface of the radiator core, and the data obtained after detection is relatively one-sided, making it difficult to achieve a comprehensive inspection of the radiator core.

[0004] The existing detection method usually involves filling the water tank core with gas at a certain pressure and then detecting gas leakage to quickly locate the area with sealing problems, thereby achieving rapid detection of the airtightness of the water tank core.

[0005] However, while the above-mentioned detection method can detect a certain degree of pressure change, it is not good at detecting minute leaks, resulting in an incomplete detection of the airtightness of the water tank core. Therefore, we propose an automotive water tank core detection device. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention proposes an automotive radiator core detection device to address the problem that existing automotive radiator core detection devices have a relatively simple detection method, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive detection of the radiator core and easily leading to leakage.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A car water tank core detection device includes a car water tank, two air inflators connected to the car water tank, the two air inflators being connected to an external air pump, and a water storage tank, an electric push rod, an adjustable clamping mechanism, and a limiting component. The water storage tank is located directly below the car water tank. The electric push rod is mounted on the upper side of the water storage tank via a mounting bracket and is located above the car water tank. The adjustable clamping mechanism is located at the bottom end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod and can move vertically following the telescopic end of the electric push rod. The adjustable clamping mechanism clamps the outside of the car water tank for clamping and positioning the car water tank. Two limiting components are installed on the inner side of the mounting bracket. The bottom end of the limiting component is connected to the upper side of the adjustable clamping mechanism, and the limiting component is used to limit the movement of the adjustable clamping mechanism.

[0008] The adjustable clamping mechanism includes an adjusting component and a clamping component. The adjusting component includes a cylinder, a moving rod, and a spring. The cylinder is located at the bottom end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod and moves with the telescopic end of the electric push rod. The moving rod is inserted into both sides of the cylinder. The moving rod can move horizontally inside the cylinder and can move synchronously with the cylinder. The spring is located between the two moving rods, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the two moving rods.

[0009] The clamping component includes a vertical plate and a clamping seat. The vertical plate is installed at the bottom end of the moving rod and moves synchronously with the moving rod. The clamping seat is installed on the vertical plate and moves synchronously with the vertical plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the automotive radiator core testing device of this utility model, in order to enhance the clamping effect on the automotive radiator and ensure the stability during the testing process, the number of clamping seats is four sets, and the four sets of clamping seats are symmetrically clamped on both sides of the automotive radiator.

[0011] The limiting component includes a limiting frame and a limiting rod. Two limiting frames are installed on the inner side of the mounting frame. The two limiting frames are arranged symmetrically. The limiting rod is inserted into the limiting frame and can move vertically inside the limiting frame. The bottom end of the limiting rod is connected to the upper side of the cylinder.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the automotive water tank core detection device of this utility model, in order to limit the position of the limiting rod on the limiting frame and ensure the stability of the automotive water tank after entering the water storage tank for testing, a blocking plate is provided at the top of the limiting rod, and an anti-collision pad is provided on the lower side of the blocking plate.

[0013] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes an electric push rod and an adjustable clamping mechanism to clamp the car radiator and lower it into the test water inside the reservoir. Through the combination of pressure detection and bubble detection, it achieves comprehensive testing of the airtightness of the radiator core, enhancing the testing effect and reducing the probability of leakage.

[0015] In this invention, the adjustable clamping mechanism and the limiting component work together to limit the movement of the car water tank, ensuring the stability of the car water tank during lifting and lowering, and ensuring the detection effect of the water tank core.

[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment proposes an automotive radiator core detection device, including an automotive radiator 1, a water storage tank 2, an electric push rod 3, an adjustable clamping mechanism, and a limiting component. Compared with the technical problems in the prior art, in this embodiment, through the cooperation of the electric push rod 3 and the adjustable clamping mechanism, the automotive radiator 1 is clamped and can be driven down into the detection water inside the water storage tank 2. Through the cooperation of pressure detection and bubble detection, a comprehensive detection of the airtightness of the core of the automotive radiator 1 is achieved, enhancing the detection effect of the airtightness of the radiator core and reducing the probability of leakage of the radiator core. Through the cooperation of the adjustable clamping mechanism and the limiting component, the movement of the automotive radiator 1 is limited, ensuring the stability of the automotive radiator 1 when it is raised and lowered, and ensuring the detection effect of the radiator core.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the car water tank 1 has two air inflators connected to an external air pump. The external air pump can inject pressurized gas into the car water tank 1 through these inflators. A water storage tank 2 is positioned directly below the car water tank 1. The water storage tank 2 has two drain valves 4 connected to it. The water storage tank 2 is used to hold test water, facilitating pressure and bubble testing of the water tank core's airtightness. An electric push rod 3 is mounted on the upper side of the water storage tank 2, above the car water tank 1, via a mounting bracket. An adjustable clamping mechanism is located at the bottom of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 3, clamping the outside of the car water tank 1. Figure 4 As shown, the adjustable clamping mechanism includes an adjusting component and a clamping component. The adjusting component includes a cylinder 101, a moving rod 102, and a spring 103. The clamping component includes a vertical plate 201 and a clamping seat 202. There are four sets of clamping seats 202, which are symmetrically clamped on both sides of the car water tank 1. The four sets of clamping seats 202 together clamp and limit the car water tank 1, ensuring the stability of the car water tank 1 after installation. The adjustable clamping mechanism can quickly clamp or remove the car water tank 1, which is convenient for the staff to install or remove the car water tank 1. The electric push rod 3 adjusts the height of the car water tank 1, which is convenient for the staff to test the airtightness of the water tank core.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, two sets of limiting components are installed on the inner side of the mounting bracket. The bottom end of the limiting components is connected to the upper side of the adjustable clamping mechanism, as shown. Figure 3As shown, the limiting component includes a limiting frame 301 and a limiting rod 302. The limiting component can limit the movement of the adjustable clamping mechanism, thereby ensuring the stability of the adjustable clamping mechanism when it moves. A blocking plate is provided at the top of the limiting rod 302, and an anti-collision pad is provided on the lower side of the blocking plate. The blocking plate can limit the position of the limiting rod 302 on the limiting frame 301, and the anti-collision pad can buffer the movement between the limiting frame 301 and the blocking plate, avoiding direct collision between the limiting frame 301 and the blocking plate, thereby extending the service life of the limiting component.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] The staff poured the test water into the water tank 2, and then pulled the moving rod 102 to move it outward. The moving rod 102 moved the clamping parts outward. During the movement of the moving rod 102, the spring 103 was stretched. After moving to the corresponding position, the staff placed the car water tank 1 between the two sets of clamping parts. Then, the staff released the moving rod 102. Under the action of the spring 103, the moving rod 102 moved the clamping seats 202 inside the two sets of clamping parts to clamp onto the car water tank 1, thus realizing the clamping and installation of the car water tank 1. At this time, the car water tank 1 was in a suspended state.

[0031] The electric push rod 3 is activated, and its telescopic end extends to push the cylinder 101 downward. The cylinder 101, through the moving rod 102 and the clamping device, drives the car water tank 1 downward. When the car water tank 1 is completely submerged in the test water inside the water storage tank 2, the external air pump is activated. The external air pump injects gas at a certain pressure into the car water tank 1 through the air filling pipe. The gas flows inside the car water tank 1. If the car water tank 1 is well sealed, no air bubbles will be generated in the test water inside the water storage tank 2. If the car water tank 1 is damaged, air will flow through the damaged area, and air bubbles will be generated in the test water at that location. This achieves pressure detection and bubble detection of the core of the car water tank 1.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
