Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of airtightness testing technology, and in particular to an airtightness testing mechanism for motorcycle shock absorbers. Background Technology
[0002] The core principle of motorcycle shock absorber air tightness testing is to observe pressure changes or leakage phenomena after pressurization or vacuuming to determine whether there is air leakage in the shock absorber.
[0003] Currently, there are two methods: traditional water immersion and air pressure testing. The traditional water immersion method involves sealing one end of the shock absorber and immersing the other end in water after pressurizing it through an air inlet. Leakage is determined by visually observing whether air bubbles escape. This method relies on the operator's experience and requires immersing the shock absorber in a water tank, which may lead to water corrosion risks due to water quality or improper operation. Utility Model Content
