Detailed Implementation

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a dual-chamber vacuum helium leak detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention is used to perform airtightness detection on two chambers of a product. The product is placed in a sealed container and includes: a frame assembly 1, a vacuum assembly 2, a detection assembly 3, and a recovery assembly 4.

[0033] The vacuum component 2, the detection component 3, and the recovery component 4 are all mounted on the frame component 1;

[0034] The vacuum assembly 2 includes: an external vacuum pump and an internal vacuum pump 24;

[0035] The external vacuum pump is used to evacuate the sealed container, and the internal vacuum pump 24 is used to evacuate the cavity to be tested of the product.

[0036] The detection component 3 includes: a helium supply pipeline and a detection mechanism;

[0037] One end of the helium supply pipeline is connected to the helium supply equipment, and the other end is connected to the chamber to be tested, for introducing helium gas into the chamber to be tested after evacuation. The detection mechanism is connected to the sealed container for detecting the helium gas in the sealed container.

[0038] The recovery component 4 is used to recover helium gas from the chamber to be tested and the sealed container.

[0039] This application places the product in a sealed container, evacuates the sealed container using an external vacuum pump, and evacuates the product's test chamber using an internal vacuum pump 24. Helium gas is then introduced into the test chamber through a helium supply pipeline. If there is a leak in the test chamber, the helium gas inside will enter the sealed container. The gas inside the sealed container is detected by a detection mechanism. If helium gas is detected, there is a leak in the test chamber. The helium gas in the test chamber is then recovered using a recovery component 4. The other test chamber of the product is then evacuated, and helium gas is introduced for helium gas detection. This allows for rapid detection of both test chambers of the product, improving detection efficiency.

[0040] In use, the product is placed in a sealed container, the two test chambers are sealed, the container is evacuated, and a large leakage test and background test are performed on the two test chambers. After the background test is passed, helium is introduced into the first test chamber for an airtightness test. After the airtightness test is passed, another background test is performed, and the helium in the first test chamber is recovered. Helium is then introduced into the second test chamber for an airtightness test. After the second test chamber is passed, the helium in the second test chamber is recovered.

[0041] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the frame assembly 1 includes: a frame body 11 and a partition plate 12;

[0042] The partition plate 12 is disposed inside the frame body 11, dividing the frame body 11 into an upper layer and a lower layer.

[0043] The external cavity vacuum pump includes: a first external cavity vacuum pump 21, a second external cavity vacuum pump 22 and a third external cavity vacuum pump 23;

[0044] The first external cavity vacuum pump 21 is located on the upper layer of the frame body 11. The first external cavity vacuum pump 21 is provided with a detection mechanism and a recovery component 4 on both sides. The second external cavity vacuum pump 22 and the third external cavity vacuum pump 23 are located on the lower layer of the frame body 11 and are in the center position. The third external cavity vacuum pump 23 is provided with an internal cavity vacuum pump 24 on one side.

[0045] The frame assembly 1 includes: a control frame 13 and a control panel 14;

[0046] One end of the control frame 13 is mounted on the frame body 11, and the other end is equipped with a control panel 14. The control panel 14 is used to control the vacuum assembly 2, the detection assembly 3, and the recovery assembly 4.

[0047] In this embodiment, three external vacuum pumps can simultaneously evacuate multiple sealed containers, enabling simultaneous airtightness testing of multiple products and improving testing efficiency. The control panel 14 facilitates the control of the vacuum assembly 2, the testing assembly 3, and the recovery assembly 4.

[0048] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the vacuum assembly 2 further includes: a vacuum pump 25;

[0049] When the external cavity vacuum pump is used to evacuate multiple sealed containers, the maintaining vacuum pump 25 is used to maintain the vacuum level of each sealed container.

[0050] In this embodiment, after the three external vacuum pumps evacuate multiple sealed containers, the vacuum level of the sealed containers is maintained by the vacuum pump 25.

[0051] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the detection mechanism includes: a back pump 31 and a mass spectrometer 32;

[0052] One end of the fore-pump 31 is connected to the mass spectrometer 32, which is used to detect helium gas in a sealed container.

[0053] The gas in the sealed container is introduced into the mass spectrometer 32 through the pre-pump 31. The mass spectrometer 32 detects the gas, and if helium is detected, it proves that there is an airtightness problem.

[0054] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the recycling component 4 includes: a recycling pump 41 and a recycling container 42;

[0055] The recovery pump 41 is connected at one end to the chamber to be tested and at the other end to the recovery container 42. The recovery pump 41 is used to pump the helium gas in the chamber to be tested into the recovery container 42, and the recovery container 42 is used to store the recovered helium gas.

[0056] In this embodiment, the helium gas in the chamber to be tested is recovered to the recovery container 42 by the recovery pump 41, and the recovery container 42 stores the helium gas.

[0057] Above, refer to Figures 1-6This invention describes a dual-chamber vacuum helium leak detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The product is placed in a sealed container, and the sealed container is evacuated using an external vacuum pump. The test chamber of the product is evacuated using an internal vacuum pump 24. Helium gas is introduced into the test chamber through a helium supply pipe. If there is a leak in the test chamber, the helium gas in the test chamber will enter the sealed container. The gas in the sealed container is detected by a detection mechanism. If helium gas is detected, there is a leak in the test chamber. The helium gas in the test chamber is recovered using a recovery component 4. Then, the other test chamber of the product is evacuated, and helium gas is introduced for helium gas detection. This allows for rapid detection of both test chambers of the product, improving detection efficiency.
