[0002] Testing the airtightness of the automotive air conditioning pipes and pressure plate is a crucial step in ensuring the proper functioning of the automotive air conditioning system. This testing process primarily checks for leaks between the pipes and pressure plate in the air conditioning system to ensure that refrigerant (e.g., Freon) does not leak out of the system, thereby affecting the cooling performance of the air conditioner.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent CN119469587B discloses an air conditioning pipe air tightness testing device, which includes a testing box, a lifting plate that is raised and lowered above the testing box, and a suspension bracket on the lower side of the lifting plate. The suspension bracket includes four suspension rods fixed to the lower side of the lifting plate by fixing screws. Two support plates are horizontally fixed between the four suspension rods. Lower positioning plates are fixed at both ends of the upper side of the two support plates. An upper positioning plate, which fixes the two ends of multiple air conditioning pipes, is covered on the upper side of the lower positioning plate. The upper positioning plate and the lower positioning plate are fixedly connected by positioning screws. In use, the two ends of multiple automotive air conditioning pipes are respectively placed inside the semi-circular positioning grooves on the upper side of the lower positioning plate. Then, the upper positioning plate is covered on the upper side of the lower positioning plate, and the upper positioning plate is fixed on the upper side of the lower positioning plate by positioning screws. However, during the installation and removal process, the positioning screws need to be manually tightened frequently, which is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

In use, the driving component 31 is activated, which moves the movable plate 32 and the sealing component 33 to the end of the air conditioning pipe 10, thereby sealing the end of the air conditioning pipe 10.
[0028] The air intake assembly 4 includes a mounting base 41, an air intake pipe 42, and a sealing pipe 43. The mounting base 41 is fixedly mounted on the base 1.

The elastic element 546 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 545. One end of the guide rod 545 is provided with a support edge 547, and the elastic member 546 elastically abuts between the support edge 547 and the fixing block 541. Specifically, one end of the elastic member 546 elastically abuts with the support edge 547, and the other end of the elastic member 546 elastically abuts with the fixing block 541.
[0031] A groove 540 is provided on the side of the movable block 544 away from the fixed block 541, and the sensor 55 is disposed on the groove wall of the groove 540.
[0032] In use, cylinder 52 is activated, which drives connecting block 53, fine-tuning component 54, and sensor 55 for coarse adjustment. After sensor 55 approaches air conditioning duct 10, bolt 542 is rotated, which drives drive block 543 to slide on bolt 542, thereby driving moving block 544 to slide away from fixed block 541, so that sensor 55 is in contact with air conditioning duct 10, thus achieving fine-tuning of sensor 55. If there is air leakage between air conditioning duct 10 and pressure plate 20, gas can leak out through the gap between air conditioning duct 10 and pressure plate 20. Sensor 55 can detect the pressure, thereby achieving airtightness detection between air conditioning duct 10 and pressure plate 20.
[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic element 546 is a spring. In other embodiments not shown, the elastic element 546 may also be a component with both elasticity and rigidity, such as a stainless steel spring or a copper spring, and is not limited here.
[0034] In use, first place the pressure plate 20 on the mounting base 11, with the pipe on the pressure plate 20 aligned with the sealing pipe 43. Activate the drive unit 31, which moves the moving plate 32 and the sealing component 33 to the end of the air conditioning pipe 10, thus sealing the end of the air conditioning pipe 10. Then, turn the handle 25, which rotates the hinge plate 28, causing the connecting rod 27 and the sliding component 23 to slide, thereby fixing the air conditioning pipe 10 within the receiving groove 221 and the clamping groove 231. Further, activate the cylinder 52, which coarsely adjusts the connecting block 53, the fine-tuning component 54, and the sensor 55 until the sensor 55 is close to the air conditioning pipe. After the air conditioner duct 10 is connected, the bolt 542 is rotated, which causes the drive block 543 to slide on the bolt 542. This drives the moving block 544 to slide away from the fixed block 541, so that the sensor 55 is in contact with the air conditioner duct 10, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the sensor 55. Finally, the air pump is started, which fills the air inlet pipe 42 and the sealing canister 43 with air, thereby filling the air conditioner duct 10 with air. If there is air leakage between the air conditioner duct 10 and the pressure plate 20, the gas can leak out through the gap between the air conditioner duct 10 and the pressure plate 20. The sensor 55 can detect the pressure, thereby achieving the airtightness detection between the air conditioner duct 10 and the pressure plate 20.
[0035] The air tightness testing fixture between the automotive air conditioning pipe and the pressure plate provided by this utility model can rotate the handle 25, thereby driving the hinge plate 28 to rotate and then driving the connecting rod 27 and the sliding part 23 to slide, so that the air conditioning pipe 10 is fixed in the receiving groove 221 and the clamping groove 231. It does not require frequent manual tightening of the positioning screws, and the operation is relatively simple.
[0036] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
