Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing test technology, specifically a sealing test device for radiators. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of finned heat sinks, the formed fins and copper tubes need to be assembled and then welded together. Since there are weld points on the copper tubes, weld holes are prone to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a sealing test on the copper tubes after the fins are welded.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with patent authorization announcement number CN105372021B, which discloses a sealing performance testing device for a heat dissipation tube bundle, including a water tank, a lifting frame, a pressing cylinder, and a tube box frame. A gantry frame is vertically installed at both ends of the water tank, and a lifting screw driven by a motor is installed on each gantry frame. The lower ends of the multiple lifting screws are connected to the side of the lifting frame housed in the water tank. The water tank is filled with water to submerge the tube box and tube bundle fins.

[0004] During the radiator's airtightness test, the two sealing plugs used to seal the copper pipe openings of the radiator can easily become loose from the pipe openings due to inflation, leading to air leakage and affecting the airtightness test. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sealing test device for radiators, which solves the problem that the two sealing plugs used to seal the copper pipe openings of radiators are easily loosened from the pipe openings due to inflation, resulting in air leakage and thus affecting the airtightness test.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sealing performance testing device for a radiator, comprising a radiator copper tube and an adjusting sleeve. Both ends of the radiator copper tube are fitted with sealing plugs. An air inlet pipe is fixedly connected inside the sealing plug on the right side, and the air inlet pipe passes through the sealing plug. The adjusting sleeve has two adjusting rods connected internally via threads. The ends of the two adjusting rods are fixedly connected to the two sealing plugs respectively. A limiting ring is rotatably connected to the middle of the outer side of the adjusting sleeve. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting ring. Guide rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting block. The guide rods pass through the adjusting rods and are slidably connected to them. A lubrication mechanism is provided on the adjusting sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting block, made of stainless steel, is fixedly connected to the end of the guide rod. The limiting block limits the travel of the adjusting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the lubrication mechanism includes a hollow sleeve fixedly connected to the adjusting sleeve, a hollow pad fixedly connected inside the hollow sleeve, a sponge sleeve placed on the upper end of the hollow pad and slidably connected inside the hollow sleeve, a push rod slidably connected to the top of the hollow sleeve and passing through the hollow sleeve, and a pressure block fixedly connected to the end of the push rod, the pressure block abutting against the sponge sleeve. The lubrication mechanism provides lubrication for the threaded connection between the adjusting rod and the adjusting sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure block. The connecting rod passes through the sponge sleeve and is slidably connected to the sponge sleeve. The connecting rod extends through the connecting rod and to the bottom of the hollow pad. A baffle is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod, and the baffle abuts against the hollow pad. A through hole is opened inside the hollow pad, and the connecting rod passes through the through hole. The diameter of the through hole is larger than that of the connecting rod, and the baffle at the end of the connecting rod has an auxiliary sealing effect on the through hole.

[0010] Preferably, a button is fixedly connected to the top of the push rod, and the button and the push rod are an integral structural layer. The button facilitates the pushing of the push rod.

[0011] Preferably, a spring is sleeved on the outer side of the push rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the pressure block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the hollow sleeve. The spring allows elastic force to be applied to the pressure block, thus assisting in its repositioning.

[0012] Preferably, the adjusting sleeve has an oil outlet hole inside, and the oil outlet hole communicates with the hollow sleeve. The oil outlet hole facilitates the addition of lubricating oil to the threaded connection between the adjusting rod and the adjusting sleeve.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model features an adjusting sleeve with two threaded adjusting rods inside. Each adjusting rod has a sealing plug at its end. The sealing plugs can be inserted into both ends of the radiator copper tube. An air inlet pipe is located at one of the sealing plugs. By cooperating with the adjusting rods, the sealing plugs can be prevented from detaching from the radiator copper tube opening, thus ensuring that the radiator copper tube is not prone to leakage during the sealing test.

[0015] 2. This utility model provides a lubrication mechanism on the adjusting sleeve. By pushing the push rod with a button, the push rod pushes the pressure block downwards, which in turn squeezes the sponge sleeve and releases the lubricating oil inside the sponge sleeve. This lubricates the threaded connection between the adjusting rod and the adjusting sleeve, allowing the adjusting rod and the adjusting sleeve to be used frequently, thereby meeting the requirements for continuous testing of the radiator copper tubes.
