[0028] Reference Figure 1-8 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] The camera housing airtightness testing equipment includes a pressing module 1, a guide module 2, a base module 3, and an airtightness testing assembly 4. The pressing module 1 includes a guide plate 11, which is arranged to rise or fall under the driving force. The guide module 2 passes through the guide plate 11 and is used to guide the guide plate 11 longitudinally. The base module 3 has a base groove 311 for placing the camera housing. The airtightness testing assembly 4 includes an airtightness detector, a testing plate 41, and a main testing tube 42. The airtightness detector and the main testing tube 42 are arranged in communication and the airtightness detector is used to test the airtightness of the camera housing 5. The testing plate 41 and the main testing tube 42 are arranged vertically and vertically. The pressing module 1 is located above the testing plate 41 and is used to apply downward pressure to the testing plate 41. The testing plate 41 is pressed, causing the main testing tube 42 to press against the camera housing 5.

[0030] The aforementioned camera housing airtightness testing equipment, when performing airtightness testing on the camera housing 5, loads the camera housing 5 into the base groove 311, which positions the camera housing 5. Then, the pressing module 1 moves downwards, and under the positioning effect of the guide module 2, the linearity and accuracy of the pressing module 1's movement are ensured. The pressing module 1 applies downward pressure to the detection plate 41, and the detection plate 41 drives the main inspection tube 42 to press against the camera housing 5. Then, through the cooperation of the airtightness tester and the main inspection tube 42, the airtightness of the camera housing 5 is tested. In this way, the degree of automation is high, manual intervention is reduced, the pressing accuracy of the pressing module 1 is effectively guaranteed, and the loading and clamping accuracy of the camera housing 5 is improved, ensuring the airtightness testing effect and accuracy.

[0031] The air tightness tester works by filling the camera housing 5 with a certain pressure of gas (such as air or nitrogen) and monitoring the internal pressure of the camera housing 5 in real time through a high-precision pressure sensor. If the internal pressure drops significantly over time, it indicates that there is a leak and the product is not airtight.

[0032] Alternatively, by evacuating the inside of the camera housing 5 through the main inspection tube 42, the internal volume of the camera housing 5 is V, and the internal pressure is P. Under constant temperature conditions, after a few seconds or tens of seconds, its internal volume does not change, but the internal pressure drops by a certain value ΔP. At this point, we can determine that the gas sealing performance of the workpiece is poor.

[0033] In the actual airtightness test, an allowable leakage value is defined. When the leakage value of the camera housing 5 is less than this value, the workpiece is considered "leak-free" and is called a qualified product. Only when the leakage value of the camera housing 5 is greater than this value is it considered "unqualified" or "severely leaking".

[0034] Alternatively, by filling the inside of the camera housing 5 with gas through the main inspection tube 42, the internal pressure of the camera housing 5 is P. Under constant temperature, after a few seconds or tens of seconds, its internal volume does not change, but the internal pressure drops by a certain value ΔP. At this time, we can determine that the gas sealing performance of the workpiece is not good.

[0035] The lower part of the main inspection tube 42 is equipped with a sealing ring. When the air tightness is tested, the sealing ring is arranged in a pressing manner with the camera housing 5. Under the action of the sealing ring, leakage is avoided and the accuracy of the air tightness test is improved.

[0036] The pressing module 1 includes a pressing plate 12 and multiple pressing columns 13. The pressing plate 12 is arranged horizontally, and the pressing columns 13 are arranged vertically. The two ends of the pressing columns 13 are respectively connected to the guide plate 11 and the pressing plate 12. The pressing plate 12 is stacked with the detection plate 41. In this way, under the action of the pressing columns 13, the rising or falling of the guide plate 11 drives the pressing plate 12 to rise or fall, thereby driving the detection plate 41 to rise or fall, so as to press down on the camera housing 5 and prevent leakage.

[0037] The two ends of the lower pressure plate 12 form pressure plate grooves, which are arranged in a through manner. The lower pressure module 1 includes two positioning rods, which are arranged longitudinally. The two positioning rods are respectively connected to the guide plate 11 and the base module 3. The positioning rods can move through the pressure plate grooves.

[0038] In this way, the two positioning rods can position and limit the movement of the lower pressure plate 12, thereby improving the accuracy of the movement of the lower pressure plate 12.

[0039] The camera housing airtightness testing equipment includes a pressure limiting component 6, which includes a horizontal limiting plate and a vertical limiting plate. The horizontal limiting plate is arranged horizontally, and its two ends are respectively connected to the upper part of the vertical limiting plate. The lower part of the vertical limiting plate extends longitudinally in the direction towards the base module 3, and the base groove 311 is located below the horizontal limiting plate. The detection plate 41 is stacked with the horizontal limiting plate, and the main inspection tube 42 extends downward through the horizontal limiting plate. The lower part of the vertical limiting plate and the lower part of the main inspection tube 42 are synchronously abutting each other.

[0040] In this way, under the action of the pressure limiting component 6, the downward pressure of the pressure module 1 is prevented from being too large, which protects the camera housing 5 and prevents the camera housing 5 from being damaged by pressure.

[0041] In other words, when the pressure limiting component 6 moves to a point of contact with the base module 3, the lower part of the main inspection tube 42 is arranged in a pressing manner with the camera housing 5. At this time, the movement of the main inspection tube 42 is completed, and the contact sealing with the camera housing 5 is completed, which facilitates the subsequent airtightness test of the camera housing 5.

[0042] The guide module 2 includes four guide rods 21, which extend longitudinally and are arranged at four corresponding corners. The four guide rods 21 pass through the guide plate 11 synchronously. In this way, under the action of the four guide rods 21, the movement of the guide plate 11 is positioned and the offset is limited, ensuring the accuracy of the movement of the guide plate 11 and ensuring that the downward pressure is applied horizontally downward.

[0043] The base module 3 includes an upper substrate 31 and a lower substrate 32, which are stacked together. The upper substrate 31 forms a base groove 311, and the lower substrate 32 has at least one air detection channel 321. The upper part of the air detection channel 321 is connected to the base groove 311, and the lower part of the air detection channel 321 is connected to an air tightness detector. The air tightness detector is used to detect the airflow state of the air detection channel 321. In this way, the air tightness of the camera housing 5 can be detected by the cooperation of the air detection channel 321 and the air tightness detector.

[0044] The upper substrate 31 has a plurality of base grooves 311, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction. The lower substrate 32 has a plurality of air detection channels 321, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each base groove 311 and are connected. Each air detection channel 321 is also connected to an air tightness tester. In this way, multiple camera housings 5 ​​can be tested for air tightness at the same time, thus improving the testing efficiency.

[0045] The base module 3 includes a base plate 33, which is horizontally placed and fixedly arranged. The upper base plate 31, the lower base plate 32 and the base plate 33 are stacked in sequence. The base plate 33 has a merging cavity, and each air detection channel 321 is connected to the merging cavity. The merging cavity is connected to the air tightness detector.

[0046] This makes it easier to test each gas detection cavity 321 without having to set up multiple detection ports, thus reducing costs and space requirements.

[0047] The airtightness testing assembly 4 includes a secondary test tube 43, which is arranged longitudinally and is spaced apart from the main test tube 42. The camera housing 5 has an outer shell and a shell hole. The main test tube 42 extends through the shell hole into the interior of the camera housing 5, while the secondary test tube 43 is arranged against the outer shell. Under the action of the secondary test tube 43, the outer shell of the camera housing 5 is tested. At the same time, the secondary test tube 43 can also serve as a reference to improve the testing accuracy of the main test tube 42.

[0048] The camera housing airtightness testing equipment includes a testing box, a workbench 7, and a control box. The testing box, control box, and airtightness tester are respectively installed on the workbench 7. The airtightness tester and the pressure module 1 are respectively arranged in a signal communication with the control box. In this way, the operator can control the pressure module 1 and the airtightness tester through the control box, which is simple and convenient.

[0049] The air tightness tester can be positive pressure type, differential pressure type, or quantitative type. Models: JC-TC-50, JC-TC-100, JC-TC-500, JC-TC-S20, JC-C100051, JC-LZ10020.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
