[0047] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a fully automatic sealing performance testing device for sealing rings. This device includes a body 1, a vibratory feeder structure, a feeding structure, a turntable 2, a testing structure, and a discharging structure. The body 1 supports the components of the device. The vibratory feeder structure is connected to the body 1 and is used to transport the sealing rings. The feeding structure is connected to the body 1 and is used to pick up the sealing rings. The turntable 2 is connected to the body 1 and is used to drive the sealing rings to rotate. To enable the turntable 2 to rotate, a driving component 20 is provided on the turntable 2. One end of the driving component 20 is provided with a limit adjuster 21. The testing structure is connected to the body 1 and is used to test the sealing performance of the sealing rings. The discharging structure is connected to... The machine body 1 is used to separate and unload the sealing rings. The loading structure includes a first drive component 3, a pneumatic gripper 4, and a second drive component 5. The first drive component 3 is connected to the machine body 1 and is used to drive the pneumatic gripper 4. The pneumatic gripper 4 is connected to the first drive component 3 and is used to transfer the sealing rings from the vibratory feeder structure to the turntable 2. The second drive component 5 is connected to the machine body 1 and is used to separate the single seals output by the vibratory feeder structure. The vibratory feeder structure includes a cover 7, a vibratory feeder 6, and a controller 8. The cover 7 is connected to the machine body 1 and is used to close the vibratory feeder 6. The controller 8 is connected to the vibratory feeder 6 and is used to control the vibratory feeder 6. The vibratory feeder 6 is connected to the machine body 1 and is used to sort and transport the sealing rings to the loading position.

[0048] The sealing rings are automatically delivered by a vibratory feeder structure, automatically picked up by a feeding structure, and driven to rotate by a turntable 2, realizing fully automated operation of the entire process, greatly reducing manual intervention, significantly improving testing speed, and meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0049] In use, pour the sealing rings into the vibratory feeder 6, and cover the vibratory feeder 6 with the cover 7 to prevent the workpiece from jumping out or foreign objects from falling in. Then, the vibratory feeder 6 controller 8 is started, controlling the vibratory feeder 6 to vibrate at the set frequency and amplitude, so that the sealing rings are oriented and arranged in the track, and conveyed one by one to the waiting position at the outlet. At the same time, the second drive component 5 at the outlet runs, separating the continuously output sealing rings into individual pieces. The feeding structure is then started. The first drive component 3 of the feeding structure drives the air gripper 4 to move above the waiting position of the vibratory feeder 6. The air gripper 4 is closed by air pressure to grab the individual sealing rings. Then, the first drive component 3 drives the air gripper 4 to rise and move to the feeding position of the turntable 2, placing the sealing rings in the designated position of the turntable 2, realizing the function of grabbing the sealing rings output by the vibratory feeder 6 and transferring them to the feeding position of the turntable 2.

[0050] Specifically, drive component 3 can be an electric slide rail structure or other drive component that can drive the pneumatic gripper 4 to move linearly. The pneumatic gripper 4 is located at the bottom of drive component 3. The controller 8 is located at the bottom of the vibratory feeder 6. Drive component 5 can be a horizontal push cylinder or other drive component that can push the sealing ring. The outlet of the vibratory feeder 6 is the loading station. The bottom of the other end of the drive component is the testing station. A circular vibration full material sensor is set at the edge of the loading station to detect whether the vibratory feeder 6 is short of material. An arrival sensor is set at the front end of the loading station to detect whether the workpiece at the loading position is in place. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0051] In this embodiment, there are two sets of pneumatic grippers 4, located at both ends of the bottom side of the drive unit 3.

[0052] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the feeding structure includes a drive unit 9, a distribution plate 10, an OK feeding belt 11, and an NG feeding box 12. The drive unit 9 is connected to the machine body 1 and is used to drive the distribution plate 10. The distribution plate 10 is connected to the drive unit 9. A partition plate 24 is provided inside the machine body 1 at the bottom of the distribution plate 10 for switching the feeding channel. The OK feeding belt 11 is connected to the machine body 1 and is used to transport the qualified sealing rings to the outside of the equipment. The NG feeding box 12 is connected to the machine body 1 and is used to store the unqualified sealing rings. The right end of the partition plate 24 is connected to the OK feeding belt 11, and the left end of the NG feeding box 12 is connected to the partition plate 24. The detection structure includes a leak detector 13, a drive unit 14, a test fixture 15, and a spring clamping structure 16. The leak detector 13 is connected to the machine body 1. The device is used to test the sealing performance of the sealing ring. A drive component 14, connected to the body 1, is used to press the sealing ring. A test fixture 15, also connected to the body 1, is used to place and seal the sealing ring. A switching valve 22 is located inside the body 1 at the edge of the test fixture 15 to switch the test fixture 15 on the turntable 2. A spring-loaded clamping structure 16, connected to the body 1, is used to seal the sealing ring. The device also includes a control structure, comprising a touchscreen 17, an industrial computer 18, and a control system 19. The touchscreen is connected to the body 1 to control the device's operation and display its status. The industrial computer 18 is connected to the body 1 for data acquisition and analysis. The control system 19 is connected to the body 1 to control the device's logical actions. An alarm light 23 is installed at the top of the body 1 to display the device's operating status.

[0053] The leak detector 13 accurately detects the sealing performance. The drive component 14, test fixture 15 and spring clamping structure 16 work closely together to ensure that the sealing ring is firmly sealed during the test and to ensure reliable test results. The drive component 9 drives the material distribution plate 10 to switch the feeding channel, so that the OK feeding belt 11 can promptly transport qualified sealing rings to the outside of the equipment. The NG feeding box 12 stores unqualified products in an orderly manner, realizing efficient and accurate classification and feeding.

[0054] Drive component 5 20 drives the turntable 2 to rotate. When the sealing ring reaches the test station, drive component 4 14 presses down, and the spring clamping mechanism fixes the sealing ring in the test fixture 15. The high-precision leak tester starts to detect changes in gas pressure or flow to determine the sealing performance. After the test is completed, drive component 5 20 drives the turntable 2 to rotate to the unloading station. Drive component 3 9 drives the material distribution plate 10 to switch channels according to the test results. Qualified parts are transported to the outside of the equipment through the OK unloading belt 11, and unqualified parts fall into the NG unloading box 12 for centralized processing, thus completing the testing and unloading process.

[0055] Specifically, the testing fixture 15 is the testing station, and the material distribution plate 10 is the unloading station. The bottom ends of both turntables 2 are connected to the same drive component 5 20. Drive component 5 20 can be a rotary cylinder or other drive component capable of rotating the turntables 2. Drive component 3 9 can be a material distribution cylinder or other drive component capable of rotating the material distribution plate 10. Drive component 4 14 can be a main pressure cylinder or other drive component capable of pressing the sealing ring. A limit adjuster 21 is provided on one side of drive component 5 20 to adjust the stroke and buffer of the drive component. This adjustment is pre-set at the factory and does not require further adjustment. When the warning light 23 is red, the equipment is in alarm mode; when the warning light 23 is yellow, the equipment is in manual mode or a material shortage warning; when the warning light 23 is green, the equipment is in standby mode with no alarm. This technology is existing technology and will not be elaborated further here.

[0056] The following is a detailed description of the operation of a fully automated sealing performance testing device for sealing rings:

[0057] First, power on the equipment. The touchscreen 17 displays the equipment status in real time, allowing operators to control the equipment and perform parameter settings (the specific program control is well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here). After parameter settings are completed, pour the sealing rings into the vibratory feeder 6 and cover the vibratory feeder 6 with the cover 7 to prevent workpieces from jumping out or foreign objects from falling in. Then, the vibratory feeder 6 controller 8 is activated, controlling the vibratory feeder 6 to vibrate at the set frequency and amplitude, causing the sealing rings to be oriented and arranged in the track, and conveyed one by one to the waiting position at the outlet. At the same time, the second drive component 5 at the outlet operates, separating the continuously output sealing rings into individual pieces. The feeding structure is then activated. The first drive component 3 of the feeding structure drives the pneumatic gripper 4 to move above the waiting position of the vibratory feeder 6. The pneumatic gripper 4 closes under air pressure, gripping the individual sealing rings. Subsequently, the first drive component 3 drives the pneumatic gripper 4 to rise and move to the feeding position of the turntable 2, placing the sealing ring in the designated position on the turntable 2. The fifth drive component 20 drives the turntable 2 to rotate. When the sealing ring reaches the testing position, the fourth drive component 14 descends. The sealing ring is fixed in the test fixture 15 by a spring clamping mechanism. The high-precision leak tester is activated to detect changes in gas pressure or flow rate to determine the sealing performance. After the test, the turntable 2 is rotated to the unloading station by drive component 5 20. Drive component 1 3 drives the pneumatic gripper 4 to grab, move, and release the sealing ring on the turntable 2 to the unloading station. The industrial control computer 18 continuously collects various data during the testing process and performs analysis and processing. Based on the analysis and processing structure, drive component 3 9 drives the material distribution plate 1. When the sealing ring passes the inspection, the bottom of the distribution plate 10 is located at the right end. At this time, the falling sealing ring falls along the distribution plate 10 onto the partition plate 24 and slides down along the partition plate 24 onto the OK unloading belt 11. The OK unloading belt 11 transports the sealing ring to the outside of the equipment. When the analyzed and processed sealing ring fails the inspection, the drive unit 39 drives the distribution plate 10 to rotate, so that the bottom of the distribution plate 10 is located at the left side. At this time, the falling sealing ring falls along the surface of the distribution plate 10 and the partition plate 24 into the NG unloading box 12.

[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
