Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing devices, and in particular to a water leakage testing device for ceramic cup production. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic cups are containers made primarily of ceramic materials and used for holding beverages. They belong to a category of ceramic products. The raw materials used in their production are mainly natural minerals such as clay, feldspar, and quartz. They are made through a series of processes including ingredient preparation, molding, drying, and firing. During the production of ceramic cups, it is necessary to test their quality. Among these tests, water leakage testing is an important one. Water leakage testing can screen out products with quality defects, ensuring that ceramic cups entering the market can be used normally, meet consumers' basic functional needs, and maintain the brand's quality reputation.
[0003] Currently, water leakage testing of ceramic cups typically involves manually injecting water and observing whether water flows out to determine if the cups are up to standard. Unqualified cups are then sorted and placed separately. However, this testing method has a low degree of automation, resulting in low testing efficiency. Furthermore, the water needs to be treated after injection, increasing the subsequent cleaning workload and making it unsuitable for large-scale testing of ceramic cups. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The conveyor belt is equipped with several positioning frames, and the end of the positioning frame away from the push plate is an open structure;
[0008] The sealing ring is located at the bottom of the lifting frame;
[0009] An air inlet pipe and a pressure guiding pipe are penetrated through the conveying lifting frame. After passing through the lifting frame, the air inlet pipe and the pressure guiding pipe extend into the sealing ring. A pressure sensor for detecting the pressure inside the ceramic cup is provided at the top of the pressure guiding pipe.
[0010] Preferably, a guiding rod is installed at each of the four ends of the top of the lifting frame, and the guiding rod movably penetrates through the top end surface of the support frame.
[0011] Preferably, the sealing ring, the air inlet pipe, the pressure guiding pipe and the pressure sensor form a detection component.

[0012] Preferably, the second telescopic cylinder and the push plate form a material pushing component. A plurality of material pushing components are arranged on the belt conveyor, and the plurality of material pushing components correspond to the plurality of detection components one by one.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom end surface of the push plate is higher than the top end surface of the positioning frame.
[0014] Preferably, an annular groove is formed on the bottom end surface of the sealing ring.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present utility model:

At this time, the pressure sensor continuously monitors the pressure inside the ceramic cup through the pressure guiding pipe. If the pressure remains unchanged, it is judged that the ceramic cup is qualified and there will be no water leakage. If the pressure continuously decreases, it is judged that the ceramic cup is unqualified and there will be water leakage. The unqualified cups are discharged by the first telescopic cylinder cooperating with the push plate. The detection process is more automated, which is beneficial to improving work efficiency, and does not require a large amount of water, reducing the subsequent cleaning workload, and is beneficial to the large-scale detection of ceramic cups.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a water leakage detection device for ceramic cup production, including a belt conveyor 1, a conveyor belt 2, a support frame 3, a first telescopic cylinder 4, a lifting frame 5, a second telescopic cylinder 7, a push plate 8, a positioning frame 9, a sealing ring 10, an air inlet pipe 11, a pressure guide pipe 13, and a pressure sensor 15; the belt conveyor 1 is equipped with a conveyor belt 2 for conveying ceramic cups, and the belt conveyor 1 is an intermittently rotating belt conveyor; the support frame 3 is locked and fixed to the rear end face of the belt conveyor 1;
[0027] The first telescopic cylinder 4 is detachably installed on the top of the front end face of the support frame 3; the lifting frame 5 is slidably installed inside the support frame 3, and the lifting frame 5 can move vertically up and down along the inner side of the support frame 3, and the lifting frame 5 is connected to the bottom piston rod of the first telescopic cylinder 4; the second telescopic cylinder 7 is installed on the side surface of the belt conveyor 1.
[0028] The push plate 8 is installed on the front piston rod of the second telescopic cylinder 7. The bottom surface of the push plate 8 is higher than the top surface of the positioning frame 9 to prevent the push plate 8 from colliding with the positioning frame 9 during movement, and to facilitate the push plate 8 to push out the unqualified ceramic cups.
[0029] Several positioning frames 9 are attached and fixed to the conveyor belt 2, and the rear end face of the positioning frame 9 is an open structure, which makes it convenient for ceramic cups to be discharged outward through the rear end of the positioning frame 9;
[0030] The sealing ring 10 is set at the bottom of the lifting frame 5. The bottom end face of the sealing ring 10 is provided with an annular groove 16, which makes it easy for the annular groove 16 to fit into the mouth of the ceramic cup, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring 10 in connection with the ceramic cup.
[0031] An air inlet pipe 11 and a pressure guide pipe 13 are provided through the conveying lifting frame 5. After passing through the lifting frame 5, the air inlet pipe 11 and the pressure guide pipe 13 extend into the sealing ring 10. A pressure sensor 15 for detecting the pressure inside the ceramic cup is provided at the top of the pressure guide pipe 13.
[0032] Both the first telescopic cylinder 4 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 are pneumatic cylinders.
[0033] In this embodiment, a guide rod 6 is installed at each of the four ends of the top of the lifting frame 5. The guide rod 6 moves through the top surface of the support frame 3 and provides positioning for the lifting frame, thereby improving the stability of the lifting frame 6 during vertical movement.
[0034] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 10, the air inlet pipe 11, the pressure guide pipe 13 and the pressure sensor 15 form a detection assembly. Several detection assemblies are provided on the lifting frame 5, and the distribution spacing of the detection assemblies corresponds to the distribution spacing of the positioning frame 9, which facilitates the simultaneous detection of water leakage in multiple ceramic cups.
[0035] In this embodiment, the second telescopic cylinder 7 and the push plate 8 form a pushing assembly. The belt conveyor 1 is equipped with several pushing assemblies, and the several pushing assemblies correspond one-to-one with several detection assemblies, so as to push out and discharge multiple unqualified ceramic cups at the same time.
[0036] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 10 is made of silicone. It should be noted that the sealing ring 10 can also be made of rubber, which is beneficial for sealing the ceramic cup stably.
[0037] Preferably, an exhaust pipe 12 is also provided through the lifting frame 5. The exhaust pipe 12 extends into the sealing ring 10 after passing through the lifting frame 5. A solenoid valve 14 is installed on the air inlet pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 12 respectively, so that the gas in the cup can be quickly released through the exhaust pipe 12 after the ceramic cup is tested, making it easy to take out the ceramic cup. At the same time, the solenoid valve 14 controls the opening and closing of the gas in the air inlet pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 12.
[0038] Specifically, the first telescopic cylinder 4 and the second telescopic cylinder 7 are connected to an external pneumatic device, such as an air pump, via air pipes, while the pressure sensor 15 and the solenoid valve 14 are connected to an external control device. The ceramic cup to be tested is placed in the positioning frame 9, and the ceramic cup is moved until the front end of the ceramic cup is in contact with the inner front end of the positioning frame 9.
[0039] Then, the intermittent belt conveyor 1 is started to drive the conveyor belt 2 to rotate. The conveyor belt 2 drives the positioning frame 9 and the ceramic cup to move, so that the ceramic cup moves to the lower end of the sealing ring 10. At this time, the first telescopic cylinder 4 is started to drive the lifting frame 5 and the sealing ring 10 to move downward. The sealing ring 10 fits into the mouth of the ceramic cup and seals the inside of the ceramic cup.
[0040] The external air pressure device is activated, and the solenoid valve 14 on the air inlet pipe 11 is opened, injecting gas into the ceramic cup through the air inlet pipe 11. At this time, the pressure sensor 15 detects the pressure inside the ceramic cup and transmits the data to the external control device. When the pressure inside the ceramic cup reaches the preset level, such as when the pressure inside the ceramic cup reaches the preset 0.2... When the pressure reaches MPa, the air pressure equipment stops supplying air, and the solenoid valve 14 on the air inlet pipe 12 closes. At this time, the pressure sensor 15 continuously monitors the pressure inside the ceramic cup through the pressure guide pipe 13 for an appropriate period of time. If the pressure remains unchanged, the ceramic cup is judged to be qualified and will not leak. If the pressure continues to decrease, the ceramic cup is judged to be unqualified and will leak. After the test is completed, the solenoid valve 14 on the exhaust pipe 11 is opened, so that the gas in the ceramic cup is discharged outward through the exhaust pipe 11. The first telescopic cylinder 4 drives the lifting frame 5 and the sealing ring 10 to move upward and detach from the ceramic cup. The corresponding second telescopic cylinder 7 is activated to drive the push plate 8 to move backward and push the unqualified ceramic cup out of the positioning frame 9. The qualified ceramic cup can be continuously transported to the next processing stage by the conveyor belt 2.
[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
