[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a small-scale sealing test device, including a device base 190 and a touch screen 70 for controlling the entire test process and displaying the operation interface. A piston base limiter 270 is provided at the top of the device base 190. The right end of the piston base limiter 270 is connected to a clamp 170 via a piston connecting plate 280, a piston rod 290, a piston cylinder 300, a piston negative pressure port 200, a negative pressure air pipe 310, and a clamp negative pressure port 320. The right end of the piston base limiter 270 is connected to a piston connecting plate 260, a piston rod 250, a piston cylinder 240, and a piston negative pressure port. The second 230, the second negative pressure air pipe 2340 and the second negative pressure air port 2330 of the fixture are connected to the second 150. The first 170 and the second 150 are both fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 30. The top of the first 170 is equipped with the first quick clamp 110, and the inner wall of the first 170 is equipped with the first product 180. The top of the second 150 is equipped with the second quick clamp 120, and the inner wall of the second 150 is equipped with the second product 160. The top of the workbench 30 is equipped with the first start button 10 for starting and stopping the test. The top of the workbench 30 is equipped with the first red light buzzer 40. The top of the workbench 30 is equipped with the first negative pressure sensor 50.

[0025] Specifically, the workbench 30 serves as the working surface of the device, used to fix and install fixture 170 and fixture 2150, as well as related components such as start / stop components, display components, and detection components, providing a stable operating platform for product testing. The device base 190 supports and fixes all components of the entire testing device, including the workbench 30 and the piston-type mechanical vacuum module, ensuring the overall stability of the device, reducing vibration and displacement during testing, and ensuring the accuracy of test results. Fixture 170 and fixture 2150 can be designed with a concave contour structure according to the product sealing test requirements, adapting to the shape of product 180 and product 2160. Sealing rings are pre-embedded at the bottom of the fixtures. After the product is placed in the fixture, it is quickly clamped by the fixture, causing the sealing ring to be sealed under pressure, providing a stable clamping environment for the product and ensuring that the product's sealing cavity is isolated from the outside during testing, meeting the sealing test conditions. The quick clamp 110 or quick clamp 2 120 of the operating fixture can quickly press product 180 onto clamp 170 and product 260 onto clamp 250, ensuring that the product is fixed in position during the test and that the bottom of the product is in tight contact with the sealing ring at the bottom of the clamp to prevent leakage during the test and ensure accurate test results. The touch screen 70 integrates test parameter setting functions, such as setting negative pressure threshold and holding time; it displays the test status in real time, including the current negative pressure value and whether the test is in progress; it can also record and query test data, such as the number of measurements, the number of OK / NG judgments, and the yield, making it convenient for operators to monitor the test process and analyze test data. The piston base limit 270 limits the piston's movement stroke to ensure that the piston's stroke is consistent each time, ensuring that the same negative pressure vacuum degree is achieved each time vacuuming is performed, improving the repeatability and accuracy of test results.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-3A piston connecting plate 280 is located at the right end of the piston base limit 270. A piston rod 290 is provided at the right end of the piston connecting plate 280.

A piston rod 250 is provided at the right end of the piston connecting plate 260. A piston cylinder 240 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the piston rod 250. A piston negative pressure air port 230 is fixedly connected to the right end of the piston cylinder 240. A negative pressure air pipe 340 is fixedly connected to the right end of the piston negative pressure air port 230. The negative pressure air pipe 340 is connected to the clamp via a negative pressure air port 320. The second air port 330 is connected to the second clamp 150. The second piston connecting plate 260 is equipped with a second cylinder 220 on the right end. The second cylinder 220 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second piston cylinder 240. The first start button 10 is located at the top of the workbench 30. The first emergency stop button 20 is located at the top of the workbench 30. The second start button 140 is located at the top of the workbench 30. The second emergency stop button 130 is located at the top of the workbench 30. The first red light buzzer 40 is located at the top of the workbench 30. The first green light 60 and the second red light buzzer 80 are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 30. The second green light 100 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 30. The first negative pressure sensor 50 and the second negative pressure sensor 90 are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 30. The touch screen 70 integrates the functions of setting test parameters, displaying test status, and recording and querying test data. The device base 190 supports and fixes all the components of the entire test device to ensure the stability of the device.

[0027] Specifically, pressing start button 10 or start button 2 140 triggers the electrical control system to open the solenoid valve, causing cylinder 1 210 or cylinder 2 220 to move, which in turn moves piston rod 1 290 or piston rod 250. This activates the piston-type mechanical vacuum module, initiating the negative pressure testing process for product 1 180 or product 2 160. During the test, if any abnormality occurs, pressing emergency stop button 1 20 or emergency stop button 2 130 will immediately stop the cylinder movement, terminating the negative pressure test to ensure equipment and product safety and prevent accidents. Negative pressure sensors 1 50 and 2 90 can monitor fixtures 1 170 and 2 90 in real time. The system measures the negative pressure value of the sealed cavity within 150 kPa and transmits the data to the control system. Taking the Panasonic DP101 vacuum negative pressure sensor as an example, its measurement range is -100 kPa to 100 kPa, and its detection accuracy is ±5 Pa. This provides accurate data for the system to determine whether the product's sealing performance is up to standard. When the control system determines that the product's sealing performance is up to standard based on the data monitored by the negative pressure sensor, either green light 60 or green light 100 will illuminate. If the test fails, either red light buzzer 40 or red light buzzer 80 will illuminate and emit a buzzing sound, visually displaying the product's test results to the operator. Cylinders 210 and 220 serve as power sources. Under the control of the control system, cylinder 210... The piston rod of cylinder 10 or cylinder 220 extends or retracts, driving piston rod 1 (290) or piston rod 2 (250) to move, realizing the reciprocating motion of the piston within piston cylinder 1 (300) or piston cylinder 2 (240), thereby drawing air from the product's sealed cavity and creating a negative pressure environment. Piston 1 connecting plate 280 connects piston rod 1 (290) to the piston, and piston 2 connecting plate 260 connects piston rod 2 (250) to the piston, ensuring that the piston rod's movement is stably transmitted to the piston, allowing the piston to work normally within the piston cylinder and maintaining the stable operation of the vacuum module. Piston negative pressure port 1 (200) and piston negative pressure port 2 (230) are located at the right end of piston cylinder 1 (300) and piston cylinder 2 (240), respectively, to discharge the drawn air. The passage connects the piston cylinder and the negative pressure air pipe, transmitting the air extracted from the piston cylinder to the negative pressure air pipe for final discharge or subsequent processing. Negative pressure air pipe 1 310 and negative pressure air pipe 2 340 connect the piston negative pressure air port and the clamp negative pressure air port, delivering the air extracted from the piston cylinder to clamp 1 170 and clamp 2 150, creating a negative pressure environment in the product sealing cavity. This is an important connecting component for realizing the vacuuming function. Clamp negative pressure air port 1 320 and clamp negative pressure air port 2 330 are located on clamp 1 170 and clamp 2 150 respectively, connected to the negative pressure air pipe. This is the interface for introducing negative pressure into the product sealing cavity, ensuring communication between the vacuuming device and the product sealing cavity, and enabling the detection of product sealing performance.

[0028] Working principle: Product 180 is placed into the positioning groove of fixture 170, and the product is pressed by quick clamp 110, so that the bottom contact surface of the product presses against the sealing ring at the bottom of fixture 170, ensuring a leak-free clamping seal; similarly, product 2160 is placed into fixture 2150 and pressed by quick clamp 220. Pressing start button 10 or start button 2140, the electrical control system issues a command to open the solenoid valve, and the piston rod of cylinder 1210 or cylinder 220... Under air pressure, the piston extends, driving piston rod 290 or piston rod 250 to move. The piston rod pushes the piston to slide within piston cylinder 300 or piston cylinder 240, drawing out air from the piston cylinder. This air is then pumped out through piston negative pressure port 200 and negative pressure pipe 310 or piston negative pressure port 230 and negative pressure pipe 340, creating a negative pressure environment in the sealed cavity of the product within clamp 170 or clamp 2150. Piston base limit 270 ensures consistent piston stroke with each movement, guaranteeing the same result each time. During the vacuuming process, negative pressure sensor 50 or negative pressure sensor 90 monitors the negative pressure value in real time and transmits the data to the control system. When the negative pressure value reaches the set -85 kPa, the system starts timing and holds the pressure for 10 seconds. If the negative pressure value does not change within the set allowable leakage range of ±5 kPa during the holding time, the system determines that the test is OK and outputs a signal to illuminate green light 60 or green light 100. If the allowable leakage range is exceeded, the test is determined to be NG and outputs a signal to activate red light buzzer 40 or red light buzzer 80 to issue an audible and visual alarm. The control system records the number of measurements in real time, counts the number of OK / NG determinations, and automatically calculates the yield. This data is displayed on the touch screen 70, allowing operators to view the test status and historical data. Test parameters, such as negative pressure threshold and holding time, can also be set through the touch screen 70. If it is necessary to stop the test, the emergency stop button 20 or emergency stop button 130 can be pressed to stop the cylinder action and terminate the test.
