[0017] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0018] according to Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment proposes an airtightness testing device for a mechanical seal, including a base plate 1. A mounting plate 2 is installed at the top of the base plate 1, and a lower sealing plate 3 is installed above the mounting plate 2. Fixing mechanisms are provided on both sides of the top of the mounting plate 2. A mounting bracket 4 is installed at the rear end of the top of the base plate 1, and a cylinder 5 is installed at the top of the mounting bracket 4. An upper sealing plate 6 is rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the cylinder 5. An air pump 7 is installed on one side of the top of the base plate 1, and a flexible hose is connected to one end of the air pump 7. One end of the flexible hose extends into the lower sealing plate 3. A liquid storage chamber 8 is installed on the other side of the top of the base plate 1, and a stirring mechanism is provided inside the liquid storage chamber 8. The top of the device is equipped with a feed inlet 23, and the front end of the liquid storage chamber 8 is equipped with a pump 9. One end of the pump 9 is connected to one end of the liquid storage chamber 8, and the other end of the pump 9 is equipped with a bellows. One end of the bellows is equipped with a nozzle 10. In use, the cylinder 5 is started to drive the upper sealing plate 6 to move downward. The lower sealing plate 3 and the upper sealing plate 6 are used to seal the mechanical seal. At this time, the air pump 7 is started to introduce gas into the mechanical seal through the pipeline. Then the pump 9 is started to draw the soap solution water in the liquid storage chamber 8 into the nozzle 10 through the bellows. The nozzle 10 is used to spray the soap solution water onto the connection of the mechanical seal. The airtightness of the mechanical seal is judged by observing whether the soap solution water bubbles.
[0019] The fixing mechanism includes a side plate 13, a threaded groove 14, a threaded rod 15, a rotating wheel 16, a positioning plate 17, and a limiting structure. The side plate 13 is installed on both sides of the top of the mounting plate 2. The side plate 13 has a threaded groove 14 running through its interior. The threaded rod 15 runs through the interior of the threaded groove 14. One end of the threaded rod 15 is fitted with the rotating wheel 16, and the other end of the threaded rod 15 is rotatably fitted with the positioning plate 17. In use, the mechanical seal is placed above the lower sealing plate 3, and then the rotating wheel 16 is rotated to drive the threaded rod 15 to rotate. This causes the threaded rod 15 to move inside the threaded groove 14. Under the limiting of the limiting groove 18 and the limiting rod 19, the threaded rod 15 drives the positioning plate 17 to move. The two positioning plates 17 then fix the mechanical seal, making the mechanical seal more stable during testing. This results in better airtightness testing of the mechanical seal and greatly improves the practicality of the device in use.
[0020] The limiting structure includes a limiting groove 18 and a limiting rod 19. The limiting groove 18 is opened at both ends of the side plate 13. The limiting rod 19 is installed through the inside of the limiting groove 18. One end of the limiting rod 19 is connected to one end of the positioning plate 17. In use, the mutual cooperation between the limiting groove 18 and the limiting rod 19 can limit the movement of the positioning plate 17, making the positioning plate 17 more stable when moving.
[0021] The stirring mechanism includes a servo motor 20, a rotating shaft 21, and a stirring shaft 22. The servo motor 20 is installed at the top of the liquid storage chamber 8, and the rotating shaft 21 is installed inside the liquid storage chamber 8. The output end of the servo motor 20 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 21. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 21 is provided with a stirring shaft 22. Multiple stirring shafts 22 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 21, and the multiple stirring shafts 22 are distributed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 21. In use, soap and water are put into the liquid storage chamber 8, and then the servo motor 20 is started to drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, thus driving the stirring shaft 22 to rotate. The stirring shaft 22 is used to stir the soap and water to make soap liquid water, making the production of soap liquid water more convenient and faster.
[0022] The base plate 1 has a fixed groove 11 inside, and a movable block 12 is provided inside the fixed groove 11. The top of the movable block 12 is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 2. In use, the mechanical seal can be easily rotated by the cooperation between the fixed groove 11 and the movable block 12, making it more convenient and faster to perform airtightness testing on the mechanical seal.
[0023] Working principle: First, the operator puts soap and water into the storage chamber 8. Then, the servo motor 20 is started to drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring shaft 22 to rotate. The stirring shaft 22 is used to stir the soap and water to make soap solution. The mechanical seal is placed above the lower sealing plate 3. Then, the rotating wheel 16 is rotated to drive the threaded rod 15 to rotate, which causes the threaded rod 15 to move inside the threaded groove 14. Under the limitation of the limiting groove 18 and the limiting rod 19, the threaded rod 15 drives the positioning plate 17 to move. The two positioning plates 17 are used to fix the mechanical seal. Then, the cylinder 5 is started to drive the upper sealing plate 6 to move downwards, using the lower sealing plate 3 and the upper sealing plate 6 to move downwards. The sealing plate 6 seals the mechanical seal. At this time, the air pump 7 is started, and gas is introduced into the mechanical seal through the pipeline. Then, the pump 9 is started to draw the soap solution water in the storage chamber 8 into the nozzle 10 through the corrugated pipe. The nozzle 10 sprays the soap solution water onto the connection of the mechanical seal. Since the upper sealing plate 6 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the cylinder 5, the mechanical seal can be rotated to perform a comprehensive inspection with the cooperation of the fixed groove 11 and the movable block 12. The airtightness of the mechanical seal is judged by observing whether the soap solution water bubbles. After the inspection is completed, the cylinder 5 is started to move the upper sealing plate 6 upward, and the reverse rotating wheel 16 moves the two positioning plates 17 to the sides, so that the mechanical seal can be removed.
