Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of airtightness testing devices, and in particular to an airtightness testing device for a cooling cabinet water tank. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component of refrigeration equipment, the airtightness of the cooling tank directly affects the equipment's cooling efficiency and energy consumption. Currently, the industry commonly verifies airtightness by observing leaks after filling the tank with water or by testing with pressure gauges. However, these methods suffer from low efficiency and poor accuracy. As refrigeration equipment develops towards high efficiency and energy saving, higher requirements are placed on the accuracy and efficiency of water tank airtightness testing.
[0003] Currently, there are three main methods for airtightness testing of cooling tank water bodies: First, manual visual inspection, which involves filling the tank with water and observing the outer wall for leaks. This method is simple but relies on human experience and cannot detect minute leaks. Second, pressure testing, which involves filling the tank with compressed air and monitoring the pressure drop with a pressure gauge. This method offers improved accuracy but has a long testing cycle. Third, helium mass spectrometry leak detection, which uses helium gas to detect leaks for high-precision location, but the equipment is expensive and requires a specialized operating environment. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to achieve the purpose of efficiently detecting the air tightness of water tanks, this application provides an air tightness detection device for cooling cabinet water tanks.
[0005] The airtightness testing device for a cooling cabinet water tank provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A leak-proof testing device for a cooling cabinet water tank includes a testing box. The testing box includes an outer casing and an inner shell. The inner shell is installed inside the outer casing and is fitted and fixed to the inner side of the outer casing. A vertical suspension bracket is fixedly installed on the outer casing. A pressure-holding assembly is vertically installed on the lower end face of the vertical suspension bracket. The pressure-holding assembly is fixedly installed at the center of the lower end face of the vertical suspension bracket. A liquid level control box assembly is installed on one side of the outer casing and is fixedly connected to the outer casing. A flip-open equipment sub-base is installed on the other side of the outer casing. A testing air pump is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the equipment sub-base. An air supply solenoid is installed at the outlet of the testing air pump.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the testing chamber features an outer casing and an inner shell, with the inner shell fitted and fixed to the inner side of the outer casing, enhancing the structural strength and sealing of the testing chamber. The vertical mounting base facilitates the installation of the pressure-holding assembly, which provides stable pressure to the water tank, ensuring its stability during testing. The liquid level control unit precisely controls the liquid level within the testing chamber, and the auxiliary equipment seat can be flipped open for easy maintenance and repair of equipment such as the testing air pump. The air supply hose delivers the gas generated by the testing air pump to the water tank, enabling airtightness testing.
[0008] Optionally, the outer casing includes a bottom shell and a flow guide shell, the flow guide shell being installed on the upper end face of the bottom shell and fixedly connected to the bottom shell.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer casing is divided into a bottom shell and a flow guide shell, with the flow guide shell installed on the upper surface of the bottom shell and fixedly connected. This structural design makes the assembly of the testing box more convenient, and the flow guide shell facilitates the placement of the water tank to be tested into the testing box, while also making it easier to remove after testing, thus improving the convenience of the testing operation.
[0010] Optionally, several auxiliary support feet are vertically installed on both sides of the lower end face of the bottom shell, and the auxiliary support feet are fixedly connected to the bottom shell. An overflow groove corresponding to the liquid level control box assembly is also provided on the side of the bottom shell.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the auxiliary support feet on both sides of the lower end face of the bottom shell enhance the stability of the detection device and prevent it from shaking during operation. The overflow trough corresponds to the liquid level control box assembly. When the liquid level in the detection box is too high, the excess liquid can flow into the liquid level control box assembly through the overflow trough, avoiding liquid overflow that could cause environmental pollution and equipment damage.
[0012] Optionally, the pressing assembly includes an electric cylinder and a pressing mesh frame. The electric cylinder is vertically fixed to the lower end face of the vertical support, and the pressing mesh frame is horizontally arranged below the electric cylinder and connected to the output end of the electric cylinder.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the holding assembly uses a combination of an electric cylinder and a holding mesh frame. The electric cylinder features high precision and fast response speed, enabling precise control of the lifting and lowering of the holding mesh frame, thereby providing stable holding for the water tank. The horizontally positioned holding mesh frame allows for uniform pressure application, ensuring that the water tank does not shift or shake during testing, thus improving testing accuracy.
[0014] Optionally, the liquid level control box assembly includes a liquid storage tank, a water pump, and a liquid supply pipe assembly. The liquid storage tank is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom shell, the water pump is fixedly installed on the liquid storage tank, and the lower end of the liquid supply pipe assembly is connected to the outlet of the water pump.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid level control box assembly includes a storage tank, a water pump, and a supply pipe assembly. The storage tank stores the liquid required for testing, the water pump delivers the liquid from the storage tank to the testing chamber, and the supply pipe assembly connects the water pump and the testing chamber. By controlling the operation of the water pump, the liquid level in the testing chamber can be precisely controlled, ensuring the smooth progress of the testing process.
[0016] Optionally, the liquid supply pipe assembly includes a bent section and an inclined section. The bent section is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom shell, and the inclined section is installed above the flow guide shell, with the inclined section sealed to the head of the bent section.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the bend and inclined sections of the liquid supply pipe assembly allows the liquid to flow more smoothly into the detection chamber. The bend is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom shell, and the inclined section is installed above the guide shell and sealed to the head of the bend. This structural design avoids leakage of liquid during transportation and improves the accuracy of liquid level control.
[0018] Optionally, the auxiliary seat of the device includes a seat plate and an adjustable bracket. One end of the seat plate is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the bottom shell, and a limiting locking rod for locking the seat plate is also installed on the bottom shell. The adjustable bracket is fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the other end of the seat plate.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, one end of the base plate of the auxiliary seat is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the bottom shell, allowing it to be flipped open for easy maintenance and repair of equipment such as the testing air pump. A limit locking rod can lock the base plate, ensuring it can be flipped up when not in use and stably fixed within the outer casing. An adjustable bracket is fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the other end of the base plate, allowing the base plate to be flipped to a horizontal position for auxiliary support on the ground when in use.
[0020] Optionally, the adjustable bracket includes a positioning seat, a side stop bar, and a support plate. The positioning seat is fixedly installed at both ends of the side stop bar, and the support plate is rotatably installed on the inner side of the positioning seat.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjustable bracket's positioning seat, side stops, and support plate design allow the support plate to be rotatably mounted on the inner side of the positioning seat. When not in use, the support plate can be flipped up and stored against the seat plate. When needed, it can be flipped to a vertical position, with the side stops providing additional support to ensure the support plate can be stably and vertically supported on the ground. This meets different usage needs and improves the flexibility and stability of the equipment.
[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: The overall structure of the airtightness testing device of this application is reasonably designed, with tight connections between components, facilitating installation and disassembly. The pressure holding assembly can stably hold the water tank, the liquid level control box group can accurately control the liquid level in the testing tank, and the testing air pump can provide a stable testing gas. These measures ensure the accuracy and reliability of airtightness testing and can promptly detect airtightness problems in the water tank. The equipment sub-base can be flipped open, facilitating maintenance and repair of equipment such as the testing air pump. Simultaneously, the modular design of each component makes replacement and maintenance more convenient, reducing equipment maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] This application discloses an airtightness testing device for a cooling cabinet water tank. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an airtightness testing device for a cooling cabinet water tank includes a testing box 1. The testing box 1 includes an outer box 11 and an inner shell 12.

The vertical support 2 facilitates the installation of the pressure holding assembly 3, which provides stable pressure to the water tank, ensuring its stability during testing. The liquid level control box 4 precisely controls the liquid level in the testing chamber 1. The auxiliary equipment seat 5 can be flipped open for easy maintenance and repair of equipment such as the testing air pump 6. The air supply solenoid 60 delivers the gas generated by the testing air pump 6 to the water tank, enabling airtightness testing.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer casing 11 includes a bottom shell 111 and a flow guide shell 112. The flow guide shell 112 is installed on the upper end face of the bottom shell 111 and is fixedly connected to the bottom shell 111. The outer casing 11 is divided into a bottom shell 111 and a flow guide shell 112, with the flow guide shell 112 installed on the upper end face of the bottom shell 111 and fixedly connected. This structural design makes the assembly of the testing box 1 more convenient. At the same time, the flow guide shell 112 is designed to facilitate the placement of the water tank to be tested into the testing box 1, and also facilitates its removal after testing, improving the convenience of the testing operation. Several auxiliary support legs 113 are vertically installed on both sides of the lower end face of the bottom shell 111. The auxiliary support legs 113 are fixedly connected to the bottom shell 111.

[0035] The implementation principle of the airtightness testing device for a cooling cabinet water tank in this embodiment is as follows: The cooling cabinet water tank to be tested is placed inside the testing chamber 1. The electric cylinder 31 is activated, causing the holding frame 32 to descend and stably hold the water tank. The water pump 42 is activated, supplying liquid from the storage tank 41 to the testing chamber 1 via the supply pipe assembly 43. When the liquid level in the testing chamber reaches a set height, the water pump stops. The limit lock rod 115 is rotated to release the lock, and then the base plate 51 is flipped down, allowing operation of the testing air pump 6 on the base plate 51. The air supply helical pipe 60 is connected to the corresponding pre-installed pipe joint on the water tank. The testing air pump 6 is activated, supplying gas to the water tank via the air supply helical pipe 60. Observe whether bubbles are generated around the water tank to determine if there is an airtightness problem. After the test is completed, the electric cylinder 31 is activated, causing the holding frame 32 to rise and the water tank is removed.
