Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of leak detection equipment technology, and in particular to capacitor leak detection equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electronic component manufacturing, the sealing performance of capacitors directly affects their reliability and service life. Problems such as leakage, air leakage, or poor sealing in capacitors can lead to short circuits, capacitance decay, or even equipment failure. Therefore, rigorous sealing tests must be performed on capacitors during the production process.

[0003] Traditional leak detection methods mainly include visual inspection, bubble method, and pressure decay method. Among them, the bubble method is widely used due to its simplicity and low cost. This method typically involves immersing the capacitor in a liquid (such as water or alcohol) and observing whether bubbles are generated by applying pressure or creating a vacuum, thereby determining whether a leak exists. A search revealed a utility model patent with authorization publication number CN219495562U, which discloses a capacitor leak detection device, relating to the field of capacitor technology. This utility model includes a device body and a leak detection mechanism. An electric drive unit is fixedly connected to the top of the device body. A capacitor is disposed below the leak detection mechanism, and a placement groove is formed at the bottom of the capacitor. A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement groove. A drive rod is fixedly connected to the leak detection mechanism, and an auxiliary rod is fixedly connected to the end of the drive rod away from the leak detection mechanism.

[0004] However, existing bubble-based leak detection methods can only detect larger leaks and are ineffective at detecting minute leaks. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing bubble-based leak detection methods, which can only detect larger leaks and are difficult to detect minute leaks, and to propose a capacitor leak detection device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A capacitor leak detection device includes an operating table. A water bucket is fixedly connected to the upper center of the operating table. A sealing plate is fixedly connected to the inner center of the water bucket. An elastic support mechanism is provided at the upper end of the sealing plate. A placement plate is provided above the elastic support mechanism. An inclined seat is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the placement plate. A waterproof motor is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the water bucket. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the waterproof motor. The rotating shaft passes through the sealing plate and is connected to the sealing plate through a sealed bearing. An L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the shaft body of the rotating shaft. The end of the L-shaped rod abuts against the inclined surface of the inclined seat.

[0008] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the upper center of the placement plate, and the limiting ring is circular. The limiting ring facilitates the placement of the capacitor to be tested on the placement plate.

[0009] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, a bracket is fixedly connected to the upper edge of the operating table, a cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket, the telescopic shaft of the cylinder passes through the bracket and is slidably connected to the bracket, and a sealing seat is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic shaft. The sealing seat is slidably connected to the inner side of the upper opening of the water bucket. By pushing the sealing seat with the cylinder, the sealing seat seals the water bucket.

[0010] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, an air extraction pipe is fixedly connected inside the sealing seat, and the air extraction pipe penetrates the sealing seat. This air extraction pipe facilitates the evacuation of air from the water tank, improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0011] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, support legs are fixedly connected to each of the four bottom corners of the operating table, and these support legs are square column-shaped. The support legs provide overall support.

[0012] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, the elastic support mechanism includes a hollow sleeve fixedly connected to the upper end of the sealing plate. A sliding column is slidably connected inside the hollow sleeve, and a connecting piece is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding column. The connecting piece is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate. A spring is disposed inside the hollow sleeve, with one end fixedly connected to the sliding column and the other end fixedly connected to the inner surface of the hollow sleeve. This elastic support mechanism provides auxiliary resetting for the periodic lifting and lowering of the placement plate.

[0013] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, a retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the hollow sleeve, and a corrugated sleeve is fixedly connected between the retaining ring and the connecting piece. The corrugated sleeve provides waterproof protection for the spring.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the cylinder drives the sealing seat to quickly press the water tank together to form a sealed space. Combined with the vacuuming pipe, the capacitor is more likely to expose small leaks under negative pressure. In addition, the waterproof motor drives the L-shaped rod to periodically lift the placement plate, causing the capacitor to shake repeatedly in the liquid, making the bubble observation more obvious and significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of leak detection.
