[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a positive and negative pressure leak detection device, comprising a sealed detection chamber 100, a positive pressure source assembly 200, a negative pressure source assembly 300, an injection and drainage assembly 400, a gas supply assembly 500, and a gas leak detector 600.

[0039] A detection chamber 101 is formed inside the sealed detection chamber 100. A detection pipe 102 is provided on the side wall of the sealed detection chamber 100. One end of the detection pipe 102 is located in the detection chamber 101 and is used to install the part to be tested. The other end of the detection pipe 102 protrudes from the side wall of the sealed detection chamber 100 and is connected to the positive pressure source assembly 200, the negative pressure source assembly 300 and the gas leak detector 600 respectively.

[0040] The positive pressure source assembly 200 is used to introduce gas into the detection chamber 101, and the negative pressure source assembly 300 is used to evacuate the detection pipe 102.

[0041] The side wall of the sealed detection chamber 100 is also provided with a water injection / drainage assembly 400 and an air supply assembly 500, both of which are connected to the detection chamber 101.

[0042] In this embodiment, the positive and negative pressure leak detection device includes a sealed detection chamber 100, a positive pressure source assembly 200, a negative pressure source assembly 300, an injection / drainage assembly 400, a gas supply assembly 500, and a gas leak detector 600. A detection chamber 101 is formed within the sealed detection chamber 100. The detection chamber 101 is connected to the positive pressure source assembly 200, the negative pressure source assembly 300, and the gas leak detector 600 via detection pipes 102. The part to be tested is installed at the end of the detection pipe 102 located within the detection chamber 101. Simultaneously, the injection / drainage assembly 400 and the gas supply assembly 500 are also provided on the side wall of the sealed detection chamber 100. Both the injection / drainage assembly 400 and the gas supply assembly 500 are connected to the detection chamber 101. When a positive pressure leak detection is required, water is first injected into the detection chamber 101 through the injection / drainage assembly 400 until it covers the part to be tested. The part is then tested by introducing gas into the detection chamber 101 through the positive pressure source assembly 200. Observing whether bubbles continuously emerge from the water inside the detection chamber 101 can determine whether the part is leaking. When vacuum negative pressure leak detection is required, the water inside the detection chamber 101 is first completely drained through the water injection and drainage assembly 400. Then, the detection pipe 102 is evacuated through the negative pressure source assembly 300 and the gas leak detector 600 is turned on. Finally, the detection gas is injected into the detection chamber 101 through the gas supply assembly 500. Observing whether the gas leak detector 600 alarms can determine whether the part is leaking. The positive and negative pressure leak detection device provided in this embodiment can perform both positive pressure leak detection and vacuum negative pressure leak detection without disassembling the part to be tested. It has high detection efficiency, which can effectively improve production efficiency and shorten the manufacturing cycle.

[0043] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the detection pipe 102 is provided with a connection part 103 at one end of the detection chamber 101, and multiple mounting flanges 104 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the connection part 103.

[0044] In this embodiment, a connecting part 103 is provided at one end of the detection pipe 102 located inside the detection chamber 101. The connecting part 103 has a hollow structure and communicates with the interior of the detection pipe 102. Multiple mounting flanges 104 are provided on the side of the connecting part 103 facing the detection chamber 101. The multiple mounting flanges 104 are spaced apart along the length direction of the connecting part 103. Preferably, the multiple mounting flanges 104 are of different models, so that the positive and negative pressure detection device provided in this embodiment can simultaneously perform positive pressure inflation and negative pressure vacuum leakage detection on different models of components, thereby improving detection efficiency and overall applicability.

[0045] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the positive pressure source assembly 200 includes an inflation pipe 201, an inflation valve 202, and an air storage tank 203;

[0046] One end of the inflation pipe 201 is connected to the detection pipe 102, and the other end is connected to the air storage tank 203. The inflation valve 202 is located on the inflation pipe 201.

[0047] In this embodiment, the inflation pipe 201 is equipped with an inflation valve 202. By controlling the opening and closing of the inflation valve 202, the gas stored in the gas storage tank 203 can be controlled to be introduced into the detection channel. Preferably, the gas in the gas storage tank 203 is nitrogen or air. Of course, the inflation valve 202 can be a manually operated valve, which makes it convenient for quality inspectors to control the inflation pipe 201 to inject gas into the detection pipe 102.

[0048] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water injection and drainage assembly 400 includes a water injection pipe 401, a water drainage pipe 402, a water injection valve 403, and a water drainage valve 404;

[0049] Water injection pipe 401 is located on the side wall of sealed detection chamber 100 and is connected to detection chamber 101; water injection valve 403 is located on water injection pipe 401.

[0050] The drain pipe 402 is located at the bottom of the sealed detection chamber 100 and is connected to the bottom of the detection chamber 101; the drain valve 404 is located on the drain pipe 402.

[0051] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to check the positive pressure leakage of the part to be tested in the detection chamber 101, first open the water injection valve 403 and inject water into the detection chamber 101 through the water injection pipe 401 until it covers the part. At this time, open the air inflation valve 202 and inject gas into the detection pipe 102 through the air inflation pipe 201. Observe whether there are bubbles continuously emerging in the water to determine whether the part is leaking. After the positive pressure test is completed, open the drain valve 404 and completely drain the water inside the detection chamber 101 through the drain channel connected to the bottom of the detection chamber 101 to facilitate the vacuum negative pressure test.

[0052] Of course, both the water injection valve 403 and the drain valve 404 can be manually operated, which makes it easy for quality inspectors to control the water injection pipe 401 and the drain pipe 402 to inject or drain water into the test chamber 101.

[0053] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the detection chamber 101 is provided with an observation area, which is connected to the detection chamber 101. An openable and closable sealing cover 105 is provided on the outside of the observation area.

[0054] In this embodiment, an observation area is provided at the top of the detection chamber 101, and an openable and closable sealing cover 105 is provided outside the observation area. By opening the sealing cover 105, it is possible to observe whether bubbles are continuously generated in the water inside the detection chamber 101 through the observation area, which is intuitive and convenient. In other words, after opening the sealing cover 105, the detection chamber 101 is easily connected to the atmosphere. When the sealing cover 105 is closed, the detection chamber 101 is in a sealed state.

[0055] Of course, the sealed detection chamber 100 can also be made into a transparent chamber, and the observation area can be set on the side wall of the sealed detection chamber 100. Similarly, the observation area can be used to observe whether there are bubbles continuously emerging from the water inside the detection chamber 101 during the positive pressure leakage detection.

[0056] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the negative pressure source assembly 300 includes an air extraction pipe 301, an air extraction valve 302, and a power pump set;

[0057] One end of the air extraction pipe 301 is connected to the detection pipe 102, and the other end is connected to the output end of the power pump unit. The air extraction valve 302 is located in the air extraction pipe 301.

[0058] In this embodiment, the air extraction pipe 301 is equipped with an air extraction valve 302. The air extraction pipe 301 is connected to the detection pipe 102 and is also connected to the output end of the power pump unit. Therefore, the detection pipe 102 can be evacuated through the air extraction pipe 301 to facilitate vacuum negative pressure leakage detection.

[0059] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the power pump set includes a vacuum pump 303 and a mechanical pump 304. The output end of the vacuum pump 303 is connected to the air extraction pipe 301, and the output end of the mechanical pump 304 is connected to the vacuum pump 303.

[0060] In this embodiment, the synergistic pumping effect of using a vacuum pump 303 (such as a Roots pump) and a mechanical pump 304 (such as a rotary vane pump or a screw pump) is better than using a single pump alone. This can significantly improve pumping speed, ultimate vacuum, and efficiency, thereby ensuring the accuracy of vacuum negative pressure leakage detection.

[0061] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gas supply assembly 500 includes a gas supply pipe 501 and a gas supply valve 502;

[0062] The gas supply pipe 501 is located on the outer wall of the sealed detection chamber 100. The gas supply pipe 501 is connected to the detection chamber 101. The gas supply valve 502 is located on the gas supply pipe 501.

[0063] In this embodiment, the side wall of the sealed detection chamber 100 is also provided with a gas supply pipe 501. When performing vacuum negative pressure leakage detection, after the detection pipe 102 is evacuated, the gas supply valve 502 is opened, and the detection gas is introduced into the detection chamber 101 through the gas supply pipe 501. Then, whether the gas leak detector 600 connected to the detection channel alarms can be used to determine whether the part is leaking.

[0064] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gas leak detector 600 is connected to the gas extraction pipe 301 through the leak detection pipe 601, and the leak detection pipe 601 is equipped with a leak detection valve 602.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the leak detection valve 602 is opened, since the leak detection channel is connected to the air extraction pipe 301, that is, the leak detection pipe 601 is connected to the detection pipe 102, when the gas supply pipe 501 introduces detection gas into the detection chamber 101, if the parts in the detection chamber 101 leak, the gas leak detector 600 will alarm.

[0066] Preferably, helium is used as the detection gas introduced into the gas supply pipe 501, and helium leak detector 600 is used. If the parts leak under vacuum negative pressure, the helium leak detector will generate an alarm.

[0067] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, a pressure relief valve 106 is provided at the end of the detection pipe 102 that is away from the detection chamber 101.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the positive pressure leakage detection is completed and the vacuum negative pressure leakage detection needs to be performed, the pressure relief valve 106 set at the end of the detection pipe 102 away from the detection chamber 101 is opened first to release the pressure in the detection pipe 102, so as to ensure the effect of the subsequent vacuum negative pressure detection.

[0069] 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.
