Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of helium detection testing devices, and in particular to a helium detection testing device suitable for water-cooled systems. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, water cooling systems are widely used in many fields such as power, chemical, and metallurgy due to their high heat dissipation capacity. The sealing performance of a water cooling system is directly related to its operational safety and stability. If leaks occur, not only will heat dissipation efficiency be affected, but it may also lead to equipment failure, production interruption, or even safety accidents. Therefore, rigorous sealing testing of water cooling systems is essential.

[0003] Helium leak detection, a high-precision leak detection method, leverages the small molecular size, strong penetrability, and resistance to adsorption by other substances of helium to become an important means of testing the sealing performance of water-cooling systems. Its basic principle involves filling the water-cooling system under test with helium at a certain pressure, then placing the inner storage chamber inside a vacuum chamber, which is then evacuated. Once the vacuum chamber reaches a specified vacuum level, if a leak exists in the inner storage chamber, helium will escape from the leak point into the vacuum chamber. An electron beam generator then bombards the escaping helium, ionizing it. The ionized helium is then detected using relevant detection equipment to determine whether a leak exists in the water-cooling system and the extent of the leak.

[0004] However, when assembling the storage inner box, the electron beam generator needs to be manually connected to the gas outlet of the inner box. Since manual operation makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy of the connection, the relative position of the electron beam generator and the gas outlet of the inner box is prone to deflection. This causes the electron beam to fail to accurately and comprehensively bombard the helium gas escaping from the gas outlet of the inner box, resulting in incomplete ionization of the helium gas and causing experimental errors.

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a helium detection test device suitable for water-cooled systems. This helium detection test device for water-cooled systems includes a vacuum tank 1 and a vacuum cover 2. The vacuum tank 1 has a vacuum chamber for testing. The vacuum cover 2 is equipped with an electron beam generator 201 and a helium nucleus leak detector 202. The vacuum chamber in the vacuum tank 1 also has a storage tank 3 and a storage cover 4. The storage tank 3 has a gas injection port 301, and the storage cover 4 has a gas outlet port 401 adapted to the electron beam generator 201. The bottom end of the vacuum tank 1 has a docking mechanism for docking the gas outlet port 401 and the electron beam generator 201. The docking mechanism includes a rotating sleeve 5 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the storage tank 3. A driven gear 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating sleeve 5 protruding from the vacuum tank 1. The bottom end of the vacuum tank 1 also has a driving gear 7 driven by a rotary motor 8. The driving gear 7 and the driven gear 6 are connected... Wheels 6 mesh with each other, and the rotary motor 8 is fixedly installed below the vacuum tank 1 via the rotating seat 9. The vacuum tank 1 serves as the core load-bearing component of the experiment. The vacuum chamber after the vacuum environment is the main location for helium detection experiments, which can simulate a vacuum environment to ensure the accuracy of helium detection results. The electron beam generator 201 can emit an electron beam to act on helium gas, causing the helium gas to ionize. The helium nucleus leak detector 202 can detect the ionized helium gas, realizing the detection of the water cooling system's sealing performance. The gas injection port 301 on the storage tank 3 is used to inject helium gas into the storage tank 3. The gas outlet port 401 can be docked with the electron beam generator 201 to conduct experiments. The rotary motor 8 drives the drive gear 7 to rotate, and the drive gear 7 drives the driven gear 6 to rotate. In turn, the rotating sleeve 5 drives the storage tank 3 and the storage cover 4 to rotate synchronously, realizing multi-directional docking adjustment between the gas outlet port 401 and the electron beam generator 201, ensuring docking accuracy.

[0031] The rotating sleeve 5 has symmetrically distributed lifting grooves 501, and a traction rod 10 driven by a traction cylinder 13 is slidably connected in the rotating sleeve 5. The traction rod 10 is slidably set along the axial direction of the rotating sleeve 5 through the lifting grooves 501. One end of the traction rod 10 extending into the lifting groove 501 is hinged to a connecting rod 11. The end of the connecting rod 11 away from the traction rod 10 is hinged to a docking slide 12. The docking slide 12 is provided with a helium docking connector 1201 corresponding to the gas injection interface 301. The pipe on the helium docking connector 1201 extends to the outside of the vacuum cover 2 and is connected to the helium tank. The traction cylinder 13 can drive the traction rod 10 to slide along the axial direction of the rotating sleeve 5, and drive the docking slide 12 to move through the connecting rod 11, so as to achieve precise docking or separation of the helium docking connector 1201 and the gas injection interface 301. The lifting grooves 501 provide guidance for the sliding of the traction rod 10 to ensure stable operation.

[0032] One end of the traction rod 10 extending into the lifting groove 501 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the traction cylinder 13. The traction cylinder 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the vacuum tank 1 via the rotating seat 9. When the rotating sleeve 5 drives the traction rod 10 to rotate, the traction cylinder 13 can rotate adaptively via the rotating seat 9 to avoid interfering with the rotation of the traction rod 10 and ensure that the rotation and lifting actions do not affect each other.

[0033] The inner wall of the vacuum tank 1 is provided with a guide ring groove 101, and the storage cover 4 is provided with symmetrically distributed sliding guide rails 402. One end of the sliding guide rail 402 is fixedly connected to the storage cover 4, and the other end of the sliding guide rail 402 extends into the guide ring groove 101. The storage cover 4 is rotatably set along the center of the vacuum tank 1 through the sliding guide rail 402. The guide ring groove 101 provides rotational guidance for the sliding guide rail 402. The symmetrically distributed sliding guide rails 402 can ensure the stability of the storage cover 4 during rotation and avoid deviation or shaking, further ensuring the accuracy of the test. The guide ring groove 101 is also provided with a vertical groove for easy disassembly of the sliding guide rail 402, so that the sliding guide rail 402 can be taken out from the guide ring groove 101 along this vertical groove after the experiment.

[0034] The end of the docking slide 12 away from the connecting rod 11 is connected to the slide guide rail 402, and the docking slide 12 is slidably connected to the storage cover 4 through the slide guide rail 402. The slide guide rail 402 provides guiding support for the sliding of the docking slide 12, so that the docking slide 12 moves along a fixed trajectory under the drive of the connecting rod 11, further ensuring the accuracy of the docking of the helium docking connector 1201 and the gas injection interface 301.

[0035] The vacuum tank 1 is also equipped with symmetrically distributed sealing cylinders 102, and the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 102 is fixedly installed on the vacuum cover 2. The vacuum cover 2 is sealed on the vacuum tank 1 through the sealing cylinder 102, and the vacuum cover 2 and the vacuum tank 1 are fitted with a clearance fit. The vacuum tank 1 is also equipped with a vacuum pump body for creating a vacuum chamber. The sealing cylinder 102 can drive the vacuum cover 2 to rise and fall, realize the opening and closing of the vacuum tank 1, and ensure the sealing performance. The vacuum tank 1 can extract the air in the vacuum tank 1 through the vacuum pump body to create a vacuum environment that meets the test requirements.

[0036] The storage cover 4 is detached and installed on the storage tank 3. The storage tank 3 has a storage cavity for storing helium, and the storage cover 4 is equipped with a sealing valve for sealing the storage cavity in the storage tank 3. When the storage cover 4 is closed with the storage tank 3, the sealing valve can effectively seal the storage cavity in the storage tank 3, so that the helium in the tank can only be released from the outlet port 401.

[0037] During the sealing test of the water-cooling system using the device for helium nuclei experiments, the device constructs a closed space through the vacuum tank 1 and the vacuum cover 2. The vacuum pump on the vacuum tank 1 is used to extract the internal air to form a vacuum chamber that meets the test requirements. The water-cooling system components to be tested are placed into the storage chamber of the storage tank 3. After helium is introduced into the storage tank 3, the drive gear 7 is driven to rotate by the rotary motor 8, which in turn drives the meshing driven gear 6 and the rotating sleeve 5 to rotate. This causes the storage tank 3 and the storage cover 4 to rotate along the guide ring groove 101 on the inner wall of the vacuum tank 1 with the slide rail 402. The relative position of the gas outlet 401 and the electron beam generator 201 is adjusted to complete the multi-directional docking, thereby ensuring the docking accuracy.

[0038] During this process, the electron beam generator 201 emits an electron beam into the storage cavity through the outlet port 401 after docking. The electron beam acts on the helium gas and ionizes it. If there is a leak in the water cooling system, the ionized helium gas will escape into the vacuum cavity through the leak. At this time, the helium nucleus leak detector 202 on the vacuum cover 2 accurately captures the leaking ionized helium gas, thereby determining that there is a sealing defect in the water cooling system.

[0039] During the helium transfer process, the traction cylinder 13 drives the traction rod 10 to slide axially along the lifting groove 501 of the rotating sleeve 5, and drives the docking slide 12 to move along the slide guide rail 402 through the connecting rod 11, so that the helium docking joint 1201 docks with the gas injection port 301 of the storage tank 3, and helium is introduced into the storage tank 3. During this process, the traction cylinder 13 adapts to the rotation of the rotating seat 9 to avoid interfering with the rotation of the rotating sleeve 5.

[0040] Simultaneously, the sealing cylinder 102 drives the vacuum cover 2 to rise and fall, thereby closing the vacuum tank 1. The storage tank 3 is then closed by the detachable storage cover 4. At this time, the sealing valve on the storage cover 4 seals the storage cavity to prevent premature helium leakage. After the test is completed, the traction cylinder 13 drives the traction rod 10 in the opposite direction, causing the helium docking connector 1201 to separate from the gas injection interface 301. The rotary motor 8 reverses, causing the storage tank 3 and the storage cover 4 to reset and align with the vertical groove on the guide ring groove 101. The sealing cylinder 102 drives the vacuum cover 2 to rise, and the operator opens the storage cover 4 to remove the test component, completing one helium test process.

[0041] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
