Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging inspection, and in particular to a novel, convenient and efficient anti-vacuum inspection machine. Background Technology
[0002] In fields such as 3C components and valuable pharmaceuticals, products are sealed in packaging bags to prevent contamination. These packaged products require random sampling for vacuum resistance testing.

The drawbacks are: firstly, the operation of current vacuum resistance testing devices is complex, with long testing cycles and low efficiency. Testing a single batch of products requires significant time, leading to high testing costs; secondly, the complex operating procedures are inconvenient, requiring highly skilled operators, and batch testing can easily cause operator fatigue, resulting in errors, missed detections, and poor testing accuracy.
