[0020] The following describes some embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the airtightness testing device of this utility model includes an outer casing 5 and an inner casing 8. The outer casing 5 has a cabinet-like structure and can be integrally molded or assembled. In this embodiment, it is assembled. The outer casing 5 has protrusions 27 on both sides and a movable door panel 3 at the front. The door panel 3 is connected to the side panels via hinges 4, and a handle 2 is provided on the door panel 3. The door panel 3 facilitates the arrangement of pipelines within the outer casing 5. A downwardly recessed test groove 26 is provided at the upper end of the outer casing 5, which is used to hold clean water for air pressure testing. The inner casing 8 is placed in the test groove 26. The outer casing 8 is slightly smaller than the test groove 26. A drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the inner casing 8, and side wings 28 that cooperate with the protrusions 27 of the outer casing 5 are provided on both sides. The inner casing 8 is used to place the product to be tested. To prevent damage to the product, preferably, a protective plate 15 is provided at the bottom of the inner casing 8. The protective plate 15 is made of a non-metallic material, such as PP board. The protective plate 15 is fixed to the bottom of the inner box 8 by fasteners 14, and the protective plate 15 is provided with equally spaced waist-shaped water filter grooves.

[0022] An air-driven booster pump 13 is installed inside the outer casing 5. The air-driven booster pump 13 has an inlet port 24 and an outlet port 25. The inlet port 24 is used to connect to an air source, and the outlet port 25 is connected to the inlet of the air distributor 20. The air distributor 20 is located on the upper surface of the outer casing 5, adjacent to the test slot 26. The air distributor 20 has one inlet and multiple outlets. The inlet is equipped with an inlet control valve 21, and the outlets are equipped with outlet control valves 22. The inlet control valve 21 is connected to the outlet port 25 of the air-driven booster pump 13 through a pipeline, and the outlet control valve 22 is connected to the product under test through a test hose. In a preferred embodiment, the air distributor 20 is also equipped with a pressure indicator 23, which is connected to the end outlet of the air distributor 20 through an adapter elbow 19. The pressure indicator 23 can be a digital pressure indicator element such as a pressure gauge or pressure gauge, which facilitates clear and intuitive feedback of the air pressure value applied to the product under test.

[0023] The outer casing 5 is also equipped with a cylinder 6 and a reversing valve 18. The cylinder 6 is fixed to the lower part of the protrusion 27 by screws. The push rod of the cylinder 6 passes through the through hole of the protrusion 27. When the cylinder 6 moves up and down, the push rod moves up and down accordingly, which can lift the inner casing 8. The reversing valve 18 is located on the upper end face of the outer casing 5, adjacent to the air distributor 20. The reversing valve 18 is a three-position four-way reversing valve, including one air inlet and three air outlets. An air inlet pneumatic connector 16 is provided on the air inlet, and a silencer 30 is provided on the outlet opposite to the air inlet pneumatic connector 16. The silencer 30 helps to reduce noise during operation. In addition, the air outlets on both sides are respectively provided with a first air outlet pneumatic connector 17 and a second air outlet pneumatic connector 29. The intake pneumatic connector 16 is connected to the air source through a pipeline. The first outlet pneumatic connector 17 is connected to the throttle valve 7 above the cylinders 6 on both sides through a three-way connector (not shown) and the first pipeline 9. The second outlet pneumatic connector 29 is connected to the throttle valve 7 below the cylinders 6 on both sides through a three-way connector (not shown) and the second pipeline 10.

[0024] The operating principle of this utility model is as follows: First, inject sufficient clean water into the test tank 26 of the outer casing 5. After connecting the product to be tested to the outlet control valve 22 of the air distributor 20, place it on the protective plate 15 of the inner casing 8. Place the inner casing 8 into the test tank 26, so that the side wings 28 of the inner casing 8 are placed on the protrusion 27 of the outer casing 5. Connect a three-way connector to the compressed air source to divide the air path into two paths. The first air path is connected to the air inlet of the reversing valve 18 through one outlet of the three-way connector. The gas comes out from the left and right outlets of the reversing valve 18. The air path is switched by operating the handle of the reversing valve 18. When the air inlet is connected to the first outlet and the air inlet is closed to the second outlet, the gas enters the throttle valve 7 above the cylinder 6 through the first outlet pneumatic connector 17, controlling the cylinder 6 to descend. When the push rod of the cylinder 6 moves downward, it drives the inner casing 8 to move downward until the product to be tested in the inner casing 8 is completely immersed in clean water. When the air inlet and the first air outlet are closed, and the air inlet and the second air outlet are connected, the gas enters the throttle valve 7 below the cylinder 6 through the second air outlet pneumatic connector 29, thereby controlling the cylinder 6 to rise. The push rod on the cylinder 6 moves upward, pushing the inner box 8 to gradually move upward until the product inside the inner box 8 is completely out of the water surface. When the air inlet, the first air outlet, and the second air outlet are all closed, the cylinder 6 stops moving.

[0025] The second gas path connects to the inlet port 24 of the air-driven booster pump 13 via one outlet of a three-way connector. After being pressurized, the gas is discharged from the outlet port 25 and then flows through a pipeline to the inlet control valve 21. When the product in the inner chamber 8 is immersed in water, the inlet control valve 21 is opened, and the high-pressure gas then enters the gas distributor 20. Opening the outlet control valve 22 on the branch of the gas distributor allows for simultaneous pressure testing of multiple product groups.

[0026] The outer casing 5 can also be equipped with a drain valve 11. The drain valve 11 is connected to the bottom of the test tank 26 through a pipeline. When the test is completed, the drain valve 11 can be opened to drain the water in the test tank 26.

[0027] One aspect of this utility model is its mobility. Specifically, the bottom of the outer casing 5 is provided with directional wheels 1 and universal wheels 12, which enable the utility model to move horizontally 360 degrees to meet the pressure testing requirements of multiple sites.

[0028] The basic principles and advantages of this utility model have been described above. For those skilled in the art, the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this utility model and not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some or all of the technical features by reading this specification. Any obvious substitutions are within the protection scope of this utility model without departing from its concept.
