[0002] Automotive lighting airtightness testing refers to conducting a sealing test on automotive lighting fixtures to ensure that their function or safety is not affected by the intrusion of water, dust, or other external environmental factors during use. This test is crucial to ensuring that automotive lighting fixtures can still work normally in different environments.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication CN222166445U discloses a visual inspection device for the airtightness of automotive lamps. As the mounting plate moves, a flipping component on one side of the connecting shaft causes the mounting plate to rotate, tilting the part of the lamp to be inspected downwards, thus submerging the entire lamp in water. Then, an air pipe passes through the connecting groove and connects to an air hole on one side of the lamp, and air is injected into the lamp through the air pipe. The airtightness of the lamp is detected by observing whether there are air bubbles in the water.

[0004] The aforementioned patented technology, while testing the airtightness of automotive lamps by submerging the lamps in water to observe for air bubbles, requires subsequent drying of the lamps, and water entering the lamps could potentially damage them. Therefore, this paper proposes a visual testing device for the airtightness of automotive lamps. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a visual inspection device for the airtightness of automotive lamps, including a base plate 1 and an inspection mechanism 2 disposed above the base plate 1;

[0028] The testing mechanism 2 includes two testing boxes 201. The bottom surface of each testing box 201 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. Two sealing covers 202 are provided on the top of the base plate 1. The bottom surface of each sealing cover 202 is in contact with the upper surface of the testing box 201. Two support plates 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 1. A base 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each support plate 4. This structure allows the entire automotive lighting airtightness visual testing device to be placed more stably on the workbench, avoiding the impact of device shaking on the accuracy of the test results during the testing process and improving the overall stability of the device.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 An air pump 203 is installed above the base plate 1. The power output end of the air pump 203 is fixedly connected to a multi-port pipe 204. The end of the multi-port pipe 204 away from the air pump 203 is fixedly connected to two air inlet pipes 205. The end of each air inlet pipe 205 near the test box 201 is fixedly connected to the front of the test box 201. The two test boxes 201 are fixedly connected to air outlet pipes 8 on opposite sides. The outer surface of each air outlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to a second solenoid valve 9. The presence of the air outlet pipe 8 facilitates the discharge of gas from the test box 201 after the test. The second solenoid valve 9 can precisely control the opening and closing of the air outlet pipe 8 to ensure that the pressure in the test box 201 can be effectively discharged, ensuring the accuracy of the test and facilitating the next test.

[0030] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 1Each air inlet pipe 205 has a first solenoid valve 206 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each detection box 201 has a gas pressure sensor 207 fixedly installed at its top. The gas pressure sensor 207 is a piezoresistive gas pressure sensor, which is a sensor that uses the piezoresistive effect to measure gas pressure. It consists of a piezoresistive resistor and an elastic diaphragm. When gas pressure acts on the elastic diaphragm, the diaphragm deforms, causing a change in the resistance of the piezoresistive resistor. By measuring the change in resistance, the magnitude of the gas pressure can be measured. Each sealing cover 202 has a sealing shield 208 fixedly connected to its bottom surface. The bottom surface of each cover 208 is in contact with the inner bottom wall of the test chamber 201. Each outer surface of the cover 208 is fixedly connected to a valve 210. Each valve 210 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 209 at its top. Two reinforcing blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the multi-port pipe 204. The back of each reinforcing block 7 is fixedly connected to the front of the base plate 1. The reinforcing blocks 7 can enhance the stability of the multi-port pipe 204 and prevent the multi-port pipe 204 from shaking or loosening due to gas pressure and other factors when the air pump 203 is working. This ensures the stable connection between the multi-port pipe 204 and the air inlet pipe 205, thereby ensuring the stability of the gas delivered to the test chamber 201 and improving the accuracy of the test.

[0031] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 4 A sealing assembly 3 is provided above the base plate 1. The sealing assembly 3 includes a fixing frame 301. The bottom surface of the fixing frame 301 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, and the front surface of the fixing frame 301 is fixedly connected to the back surface of the air pump 203. Two multi-stage electric push rods 302 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing frame 301. The telescopic end of each multi-stage electric push rod 302 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sealing cover 202. A sealing bearing 303 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each sealing cover 202. The inner rings of the 3 are all fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 209. The extension and retraction of the multi-stage electric push rod 302 can easily control the lifting and lowering of the sealing cover 202, making it easy to put or take out the automotive lamp into the test box 201. The inner ring of the sealing bearing 303 on the inner wall of the sealing cover 202 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 209. The sealing bearing 303 can ensure the sealing performance when the rotating rod 209 rotates, making the opening and closing operation of the valve 210 more flexible, while not affecting the overall sealing performance of the sealing cover 202.

[0032] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 A positioning plate 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the fixing frame 301. The upper surface of the positioning plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the air pump 203. The positioning plate 6 can further stabilize the position of the air pump 203 and prevent the air pump 203 from shifting during operation, thereby ensuring that the air pump 203 stably delivers gas to the detection box 201 through the multi-port pipe 204.

[0033] In use, the operator first connects the air pump 203, gas pressure sensor 207, first solenoid valve 206, multi-stage electric push rod 302, and second solenoid valve 9 to the power supply to ensure a stable power supply. Then, the operator opens the multi-stage electric push rod 302, which shortens to lift the sealing cover 202 and the sealing shield 208. The operator then places the automotive lamp to be tested into the testing box 201. Afterward, the sealing cover 202 and the sealing shield 208 are reset, placing the automotive lamp inside the sealing shield 208. At the same time, sealing gaskets are fixed to the bottom surfaces of both the sealing cover 202 and the sealing shield 208 to increase the sealing effect with the testing box 201.

[0034] Then, the air pump 203, the first solenoid valve 206, and the gas pressure sensor 207 are activated for testing. After the air pump 203 is turned on, air is injected into the testing chamber 201 through the multi-port pipe 204 and the air inlet pipe 205. With continuous air injection, the pressure inside the testing chamber 201 gradually increases. The gas pressure sensor 207 detects the pressure inside the testing chamber 201 through a pipe at one end of the chamber. When the pressure reaches a specified value, the air pump 203 and the first solenoid valve 206 are turned off to maintain pressure inside the testing chamber 201. When the operator rotates the rotating rod 209, the valve 210 is opened. After the valve 210 is opened, gas can enter the sealing cover 208. Since the space and air intake are constant after the lamp is placed inside the sealing cover 208, the pressure inside the detection box 201 will decrease slightly as the gas enters the sealing cover 208. If the pressure inside the detection box 201 decreases too much, it indicates that the lamp has poor airtightness. The gas entering the lamp increases the amount of air entering the sealing cover 208, resulting in an excessive decrease in the pressure inside the detection box 201.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
