Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of airtightness testing technology, and in particular to an airtightness testing device for cast iron parts. Background Technology

[0002] Cast iron parts are widely used in automobiles, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, gearbox housings, fluid transfer valves, pump housings, pipe fittings, and hydraulic structures, due to their good casting performance and cost-effectiveness. However, the casting process is prone to defects. These critical components must be strictly protected against gas or liquid leakage to ensure safe operation, reliable function, compliance with environmental regulations, and avoid product failure and recall. Therefore, efficient and accurate airtightness testing technology is crucial.

[0003] The market demand for cast iron parts is increasing, but substandard cast iron parts always appear. To meet production requirements, airtightness testing devices for cast iron parts have been invented. Currently, the most common methods for airtightness testing of cast iron parts are the immersion observation method and the testing device based on the principle of air pressure change. Operators usually need to fix the cast iron part in the testing fixture, fill it with gas at a certain pressure, and then either immerse the entire part in water to observe the generation of bubbles, or use instruments to monitor the drop in air pressure over a period of time to determine whether there is a leak. However, the testing process often requires manual operation, which reduces testing efficiency and practicality. Utility Model Content
