Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing device technology, and in particular to a device for testing the airtightness of a product. Background Technology
[0002] All gasoline-powered vehicles are equipped with exhaust pipes, which are mainly used to discharge exhaust gases and reduce noise. Therefore, the exhaust pipe is an essential component of gasoline-powered vehicles. During production, exhaust pipes typically require a specific shape to fit the mounting position on gasoline-powered vehicles. To achieve this shape, exhaust pipes are generally composed of several pipe sections welded together. This results in weld seams on the exhaust pipe. However, these weld seams are prone to leaks and noise due to improper welding by workers. Therefore, exhaust pipes must undergo weld seam inspection before leaving the factory to ensure that their airtightness is up to standard.
[0003] Currently, when inspecting the weld seams of exhaust pipes to ensure their airtightness, workers typically visually inspect the weld seams for pores. However, due to worker fatigue, it is easy to miss pores in the weld seams. Therefore, relying on manual visual inspection of the weld seams cannot accurately determine the airtightness of each exhaust pipe. Thus, the existing airtightness inspection methods for exhaust pipes need improvement. Utility Model Content

However, due to worker fatigue, it is easy to miss pores in the weld seams. Therefore, it is impossible to accurately detect whether the airtightness of each exhaust pipe is qualified by manually visually inspecting the weld seams. Thus, the existing airtightness detection methods for exhaust pipes need to be improved.

[0006] In some embodiments, the top of each of the two supports is provided with a groove for accommodating a portion of the exhaust pipe.
[0007] In some embodiments, a first silicone layer is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor is inserted into the air inlet of the exhaust pipe, the first silicone layer on the outer surface of the pressure sensor is used to abut against the inner wall of the exhaust pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] In this invention, when performing an airtightness test on an exhaust pipe, the user places the exhaust pipe on two support bases so that the two bases jointly support the exhaust pipe for the airtightness test. Then, the user inserts a pressure sensor into the air inlet of the exhaust pipe, which seals the inlet. The user also inserts an inflation head into the air outlet of the exhaust pipe, which seals the outlet. Finally, the user operates a control switch to operate the air pump. When the air pump is running, a certain amount of air is injected into the exhaust pipe through the inflation head inserted into the outlet. After the air pump has been properly pressurized, the user operates the control switch to stop injecting air pressure into the exhaust pipe. At this time, a pressure sensor connected to the air inlet of the exhaust pipe monitors the air pressure inside the pipe in real time and transmits this real-time pressure value to the display screen. The user records the air pressure value displayed on the screen when the air pump has properly injected air into the exhaust pipe. After waiting for one minute, the user checks the air pressure value displayed on the screen again. If the displayed pressure value deviates from the initial air pressure value by ±10 Pa, the exhaust pipe is considered to be defective due to insufficient air tightness. This invention provides a convenient and effective way for users to perform air tightness testing on exhaust pipes, significantly improving the accuracy of such testing. Attached Figure Description

[0023] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a device 100 for detecting the airtightness of a product, including a support frame 10, two support seats 20 symmetrically welded to the top of the support frame 10, the two support seats 20 being used to jointly support an exhaust pipe 90; a display and control screen 30 is provided on the support frame 10, the display and control screen 30 is connected to a pressure sensor 302 via a line 301, the pressure sensor 302 being used to be inserted into the air inlet 901 of the exhaust pipe 90; an air pump 40 is provided on the inner side of the support frame 10, a control switch 403 is provided on the support frame 10, the control switch 403 is electrically connected to the air pump 40, the air pump 40 is connected to an inflation head 402 via an air supply pipe 401, the inflation head 402 being used to be inserted into the air outlet 902 of the exhaust pipe 90.
[0024] In the device 100 for testing the airtightness of a product provided in this embodiment, when testing the airtightness of the exhaust pipe 90, the user places the exhaust pipe 90 on two support seats 20 so that the two support seats 20 jointly support the exhaust pipe 90 for airtightness testing. Then, the user inserts a pressure sensor 302 into the air inlet 901 of the exhaust pipe 90. When the pressure sensor 302 is inserted into the air inlet 901 of the exhaust pipe 90, it can block and seal the air inlet 901. The user also inserts an inflation head 402 into the air outlet 902 of the exhaust pipe 90. When the inflation head 402 is inserted into the air outlet 902 of the exhaust pipe 90, it can block and seal the air outlet 902. Then, the user operates the control switch 403 to control the air pump 40 to run. When the air pump 40 runs, it fills the air outlet 902 of the exhaust pipe 90 with air. The air pump 402 injects a certain amount of air pressure into the exhaust pipe 90. After injection, the user operates the control switch 403 to control the air pump 40 to stop injecting air pressure into the exhaust pipe 90. At this time, the air pressure sensor 302, which is inserted into the air inlet 901 of the exhaust pipe 90, monitors the air pressure value inside the exhaust pipe 90 in real time. The air pressure sensor 302 transmits the real-time air pressure value inside the exhaust pipe 90 to the display screen 30 for display. The user records the air pressure value displayed on the display screen 30 when the air pump 40 has injected air pressure into the exhaust pipe 90. After waiting for 1 minute, the user checks the air pressure value displayed on the screen again. If the air pressure value displayed at this time deviates from the air pressure value when the air pump 40 has injected air pressure into the exhaust pipe 90 by ±10Pa, it means that the exhaust pipe 90 is a product with unqualified air tightness. This invention provides a convenient and effective way for users to perform airtightness testing on the exhaust pipe 90, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of the airtightness testing of the exhaust pipe 90.
