Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this utility model relate to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a cylinder head plunger leak tester. Background Technology

[0002] In modern compressor manufacturing, airtightness is one of the core indicators for measuring product quality and reliability. Currently, the industry commonly uses whole-unit compressor airtightness testing technology. This involves filling the assembled compressor with high-pressure gas and using pressure sensors or gas leak detectors to monitor leakage and determine its sealing performance. While this method can quickly assess the overall sealing status, it has significant limitations: because the testing object is an integrated compressor system, it cannot perform individual testing on critical components (such as cylinder head plungers). As the core moving component of the compressor, the cylinder head plunger's sealing directly affects compression efficiency and energy consumption, while its displacement reflects the wear and operational stability of the component; both play a decisive role in the compressor's performance and lifespan. However, the whole-unit testing mode cannot accurately identify individual defects in the cylinder head plunger, causing minor leaks or displacement deviations to be masked by overall system parameters, making it difficult to pinpoint the root cause of the fault. Furthermore, because targeted testing of the cylinder head plunger is impossible, manufacturers must invest significant time and resources in disassembling and inspecting the entire unit, severely restricting product quality control efficiency and production cycle. Therefore, developing a technology that can overcome the limitations of whole-machine testing and achieve independent testing of cylinder head plunger sealing performance and displacement has become a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the current compressor manufacturing field. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, embodiments of this utility model provide a cylinder head plunger leak tester, which solves the technical problem that existing compressor whole-machine testing cannot separately test the sealing performance, displacement, and unloading pressure of the cylinder head plunger.

The gripping device is used to clamp the cylinder head assembly. The gripping device includes two arms that are slidably disposed on the test platform. After the two arms slide close together, they can clamp the cylinder head.

[0036] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a cylinder head plunger leak tester, which is designed to test the sealing performance of the plunger in the cylinder head assembly. The leak tester is supported by a base 1, and a test platform 2 is provided on top of the base 1. The test platform 2 is used to stably place the cylinder head assembly. The plunger is slidably installed inside the cylinder head assembly, and the cylinder head assembly is provided with a load relief port.

[0038] A testing platform 2 is mounted on the base 1. The device also includes a sealing pressure testing head and a sealing pressure inflation head 3 that can approach the testing platform 2 and abut against the unloading port of the cylinder head assembly. After a seal is formed, high-pressure gas can be introduced into the cylinder head assembly. Below the testing platform 2, a displacement detection sensor 21 is installed, with its detection head facing the plunger inside the cylinder head assembly, used to monitor the displacement of the plunger after high-pressure gas is introduced into the cylinder head assembly.

[0039] In some examples, the cylinder head plunger leak tester includes a base 1, which serves as the fundamental support component of the entire device and is located at the bottom of the device. A test platform 2 is mounted on the base 1 and serves as a platform for placing the cylinder head assembly. A plunger is slidably mounted inside the cylinder head assembly, and the cylinder head assembly has an unloading port. The test platform 2 provides a stable placement surface for subsequent testing operations. A sealing pressure inflation head 3 is movable relative to the test platform 2 and includes a top sealing pressure inflation head 31 and a side sealing pressure inflation head 32. The top sealing pressure inflation head 31 is used to detect when the unloading port is located at the top of the cylinder head assembly. It is mounted on a sliding block 5 via a first telescopic member 6. The sliding block 5 is laterally slidably mounted on a bracket 4, which is fixed to the base 1, with its top end located above the test platform 2. The side sealing pressure inflation head 32 is used to detect when the unloading port is located on the side wall of the cylinder head. It is mounted on a sliding block 8 via a second telescopic member 9. The sliding block 8 is laterally slidably mounted on a bracket 7 that is raised and lowered on the base 1. Two types of inflation heads are movable, enabling sealing and inflation operations at different unloading ports. A displacement detection sensor 21 is installed below the detection platform 2, with its detection head facing the plunger inside the cylinder head assembly. After the cylinder head assembly is inflated, this sensor can detect the plunger displacement in real time, providing data to determine whether the cylinder head plunger system is leaking.

[0040] The gripping device 11 is mounted on the testing table 2 and is used to clamp the cylinder head assembly. It includes two sliding arms 111, which slide in conjunction with the slide rails 114 on the testing table 2 via sliding blocks 113. The arms 111 can extend and retract vertically, and the upper stop block 112 can press against the upper end of the cylinder head assembly to ensure that the cylinder head assembly is stable and does not move during the testing process. The gripping device 11 can adapt to cylinder head assemblies of different sizes. In addition, the sealing pressure inflation head 3 is equipped with a three-way pipe 300. The first end 310 is used to install a pressure detection sensor, the second end 320 is connected to an external air source, and the third end 330 is sealed to the unloading port to realize the introduction of gas and pressure detection. The operating unit 10 is located in a suitable position on the device and is equipped with an electrical control cabinet 101. The electrical control cabinet 101 is equipped with a start button and an emergency stop button. The operator controls the operation and emergency stop of the entire leak testing machine through the operating unit 10.

[0041] When the sealing pressure inflation head introduces high-pressure gas into the cylinder head assembly through the unloading port, the displacement detection sensor 21 monitors the displacement of the plunger in real time. If, throughout the entire testing process, the plunger displacement remains within the preset normal displacement range, and the internal pressure of the cylinder head assembly monitored by the pressure sensor remains stable within the specified pressure range without any abnormal pressure drop, it indicates that the cylinder head plunger system is well-sealed and there is no gas leakage. In this case, the cylinder head plunger can be deemed qualified. If any of the following situations occur after high-pressure gas is introduced into the cylinder head assembly, the cylinder head plunger can be deemed unqualified: First, the displacement detection sensor 21 detects that the plunger displacement exceeds the preset normal displacement range, which means that there may be a leak in the cylinder head plunger system, causing internal pressure changes that lead to abnormal plunger displacement; Second, the pressure sensor detects that the internal pressure of the cylinder head assembly drops rapidly or cannot be maintained within the specified pressure range after inflation, indicating that there is a gas leak in the cylinder head plunger system, which cannot maintain a sealed state, and the cylinder head plunger is also deemed unqualified.

[0042] When a cylinder head plunger sealing test is required, the operator first places the cylinder head assembly on the test platform 2, then presses the start button. The two arms 111 slide along the slide rail 114 via the slider 3, approaching and abutting against both ends of the cylinder head assembly, clamping it. The arms 111 then extend and retract, causing the stop block 112 to press firmly against the cylinder head assembly, preventing it from moving horizontally. If the unloading port is located at the top of the cylinder head assembly, the slider 5 mounted on the bracket 4 is controlled to slide laterally, moving the first telescopic component 6 and the top sealing pressure inflation head 31 directly above the unloading port. If the unloading port is located on the side wall of the cylinder head, the bracket 7 is raised and lowered to a suitable height, and then the slider 8 is controlled to slide laterally, aligning the second telescopic component 9 and the side sealing pressure inflation head 32 with the unloading port. Then, the sealing pressure inflation head 3 is moved to ensure a tight seal with the unloading port. High-pressure gas is then injected into the cylinder head assembly. A pressure sensor (e.g., a diffused silicon pressure sensor) on the three-way pipe 300 can detect the pressure on the cylinder head assembly in real time. At this time, the internal pressure of the cylinder head assembly changes. If a leak exists, the plunger displacement will be abnormal. The displacement sensor 21 (e.g., a laser displacement sensor) captures the plunger displacement data in real time and transmits the data to the display screen of the operation unit 10, thereby determining whether there is a leak in the cylinder head plunger.

[0043] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
