[0003] Traditional methods for detecting air compressor leaks often fail to pinpoint the exact location of the leak, requiring significant time and effort for troubleshooting and increasing maintenance and time costs. Furthermore, some traditional detection devices are complex in structure and cumbersome to operate, requiring specialized technicians and demanding a high level of technical expertise from users. Moreover, their operating costs are typically high. Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing an energy-saving air compressor leak detection device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an air compressor energy-saving leakage detection device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An air compressor energy-saving leak detection device includes a support frame and a base. A dry ice insulation box is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame. Support rods are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper surface of the dry ice insulation box. The upper ends of the four support rods are fixedly connected to the same water storage tank. A water outlet valve is fixedly connected to the lower end of the back of the water storage tank. A water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the other end of the water outlet valve. The other end of the water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the dry ice insulation box. A feeding port is provided on one side of the dry ice insulation box. A first set of connecting pipes is fixedly connected to the front of the dry ice insulation box. A connecting component is inserted into the inside of the first set of connecting pipes. An air storage tank is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the connecting assembly includes a first insert pipe inserted into the first set of pipes, the other end of the first insert pipe being fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe being fixedly connected to a second insert pipe.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, an air compressor body is provided at the upper end of the air storage tank, and an air inlet valve is fixedly connected to the air inlet end of the air compressor body.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the other end of the intake valve is fixedly connected to a second sleeve, and the second insertion tube is inserted into the second sleeve.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, both the first insertion tube and the second insertion tube are provided with sealing gaskets.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the sealing gasket is made of rubber.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, an exhaust valve is fixedly connected to the front of the gas storage tank.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a water filling cover is fixedly installed on the upper end of the water storage tank.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper end of the feeding port is hinged to a sealing cover, and a handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sealing cover.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, a pressure gauge is fixedly installed on one side of the air compressor body, and a control panel is fixedly connected to the upper end of the air compressor body.

[0016] The device provided by this utility model has the following technical effects:

[0017] By setting up a dry ice insulation chamber, the device utilizes the characteristic of producing white gas by the reaction of dry ice and water to detect leaks. When the device is connected to the air compressor system, the white gas enters the system. If a leak is found, the gas will escape from that point, directly exposing the leak location. Without the need for complex instruments and cumbersome operations, it can quickly and accurately locate the leak, facilitating timely repairs and preventing problems such as decreased air compressor performance and increased energy consumption caused by leaks. This ensures stable equipment operation and extends the equipment's service life.

[0018] By setting up the connection components, rubber sealing gaskets are provided on the surfaces of both the first and second insertion pipes during use. During the connection process, the sealing gaskets can effectively fill the tiny gaps at the connection points, enhance the sealing performance, prevent white gas from leaking at the connection points, and ensure that all the detection gas enters the air compressor system to participate in the detection, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the entire detection device.

[0019] In summary, this utility model has a simple overall structure, is easy to operate, and the connection and disassembly of each component are relatively easy. It not only saves labor costs but also reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by complex operations. Furthermore, the cost of dry ice and water is relatively low, which reduces the cost of leak detection and makes it highly economical and practical.

[0027] Some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes. It should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in other ways not specifically shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1-3As shown, an air compressor energy-saving leak detection device includes a support frame 1 and a base 2. A dry ice insulation box 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 1. Support rods 4 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper surface of the dry ice insulation box 3. The upper ends of the four support rods 4 are fixedly connected to the same water storage tank 5. A water outlet valve 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the back of the water storage tank 5. A water outlet pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the other end of the water outlet valve 6. The other end of the water outlet pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the dry ice insulation box 3. A feeding port 7 is provided on one side of the dry ice insulation box 3. A first set of connecting pipes 8 is fixedly connected to the front of the dry ice insulation box 3. A connecting component is inserted into the inside of the first set of connecting pipes 8. An air storage tank 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 2.

[0029] In this utility model, the connecting component includes a first insertion pipe 10 inserted into the first set of connecting pipes 8. The first insertion pipe 10 is inserted into the first set of connecting pipes 8 with appropriate tightness to ensure stable connection and easy disassembly. This insertion method establishes a channel for subsequent gas transmission. The other end of the first insertion pipe 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 11, and the other end of the connecting pipe 11 is fixedly connected to a second insertion pipe 12. An air compressor body 13 is provided at the upper end of the air storage tank 9. An air inlet valve 14 is fixedly connected to the air inlet end of the air compressor body 13. The air inlet valve 14 can accurately control the gas flow and pressure entering the air compressor body 13 and adjust the air intake according to actual needs to ensure stable operation of the air compressor body 13. The other end of the air inlet valve 14 is fixedly connected to a second sleeve 15. The second insertion pipe 12 is inserted into the second sleeve 15. The second insertion pipe 12 and the second sleeve 15 fit tightly together to form a complete gas transmission path, ensuring that the gas generated by the dry ice reaction can smoothly enter the air compressor body 13 for testing.

[0030] Both the first insertion tube 10 and the second insertion tube 12 are provided with sealing gaskets 16. The sealing gaskets 16 are tightly attached to the surfaces of the first insertion tube 10 and the second insertion tube 12, filling any possible tiny gaps and effectively preventing gas leakage at the connection. The sealing gaskets 16 are made of rubber. Rubber sealing gaskets 16 have good elasticity and sealing performance, can adapt to different temperature and pressure environments, and can maintain a good sealing effect even after long-term use.

[0031] An exhaust valve 17 is fixedly connected to the front of the gas storage tank 9. A water filling cover 18 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the water storage tank 5. The water filling cover 18 is connected to the water storage tank 5 through a suitable sealing structure. Opening the water filling cover 18 allows water to be easily added to the water storage tank 5, providing the necessary reactants for the dry ice reaction. A sealing cover 19 is hinged to the upper end of the feed port 7. A handle 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sealing cover 19. The sealing cover 19 is flexibly connected to the feed port 7 through the hinge, which can easily open to add dry ice to the dry ice insulation box 3, and can also tightly close to ensure a seal, preventing gas leakage and the entry of external impurities. A pressure gauge 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the air compressor body 13. A control panel 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the air compressor body 13. The pressure gauge 21 can accurately display the pressure inside the air compressor body 13 in real time.

[0032] In use, dry ice is first added to the dry ice insulation box 3 through the feeding port 7. A sealing cap 19 is hinged to the upper end of the feeding port 7, and can be closed with the handle 20 to ensure a seal. The water filling cap 18 at the top of the water storage tank 5 can be opened to add water. The water outlet valve 6 is opened, and the water in the water storage tank 5 flows into the dry ice insulation box 3 through the water outlet pipe 23, reacting with the dry ice to produce white gas. A first insertion pipe 10 of the connecting assembly is inserted into the first set of connecting pipes 8. The first insertion pipe 10 is connected to the second insertion pipe 12 via the connecting pipe 11, and both the first insertion pipe 10 and the second insertion pipe 12 are coated with a material. A rubber sealing gasket 16 ensures a tight connection. An air inlet valve 14 is provided at the air inlet end of the air compressor body 13 at the top of the air tank 9. The other end of the air inlet valve 14 is fixed with a second sleeve 15. The second insertion pipe 12 is inserted into the second sleeve 15, allowing the white gas generated in the dry ice insulation box 3 to enter the air inlet end of the air compressor body 13. If there is a leak in the air compressor body 13 and the connection, the white gas generated by the dry ice reaction will be exposed at the leak point, thus detecting the leak. The air outlet valve 17 on the front of the air tank 9 can control the air outlet of the air tank 9. The pressure gauge 21 on one side of the air compressor body 13 can display the pressure.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
