Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air spring testing technology, and in particular to an air spring bladder air tightness testing device. Background Technology

[0002] After assembly, air spring products require an overall airtightness test to check if their airtightness meets usage requirements. Generally, the airtightness test uses a water test method. The air spring is completely immersed in water, and gas is injected into it at a certain pressure. The airtightness is determined by observing whether air bubbles escape from the surface of the air spring. If the air spring leaks, gas will escape from the leak point and form bubbles in the water.

[0003] The aforementioned water testing method typically involves manually pressing the air spring bladder directly into the water to observe the overflow of air bubbles from its surface. This significantly increases the workload and physical burden on workers, resulting in low testing efficiency. Furthermore, if the bladder has a serious defect (such as a large-area rupture), it will cause a sharp increase in pressure inside the water tank, generating a strong impact force. If the gas being filled is flammable, a leak could easily trigger an explosion. Therefore, manually pressing the bladder into the water for testing carries the risk of severe impact on workers and could even endanger their lives if an explosion occurs. Utility Model Content

The lower conical plate 122 is fixedly installed at the top of the lower pressing plate 121, and the bottom of the guide rod 5 passes through the lower pressing plate 121 and is fixedly connected to it.

[0028] The contact surfaces of the upper conical plate 112 and the lower conical plate 122 with the bladder 2 are conical in shape, which can provide a good sealing effect and prevent gas leakage or water ingress.

[0029] The upper cone plate 112 and the lower cone plate 122 are detachably connected to the upper pressure plate 111 and the lower pressure plate 121 respectively by bolts, etc., so as to facilitate replacement according to different specifications of the air spring bladder 2.
