Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of airtightness testing devices, and specifically to an airtightness testing device. Background Technology

[0002] An electric actuator is used to convert its own energy into mechanical motion, and its final output is rotary mechanical motion. The electric actuator is equipped with connectors for connecting to the wiring harness interfaces of external components.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN309180592S discloses an electric actuator. The actuator's housing is formed by the snap-fitting of an upper housing and a lower housing. The lower housing has an upper edge protrusion on its upper outer periphery, and the upper housing has a lower edge protrusion on its lower outer periphery that abuts against the top surface of the upper edge protrusion. When the upper and lower edge protrusions are abutting, they form the edge protrusions of the electric actuator. The electric actuator includes a crank, which is positioned on top of the upper housing.

[0004] During the manufacturing and production of electric actuators, after the complete assembly of the electric actuator, quality inspection is required. This inspection includes, but is not limited to, airtightness testing and electrical component testing. The electric actuator must have good sealing properties to ensure the electrical performance of the electronic components housed within the casing. Therefore, personnel must perform airtightness testing on the electric actuator, and only after passing the airtightness test can subsequent packaging and warehousing proceed.

[0005] In existing technologies, the airtightness of electric actuators is typically tested by immersing them in water and visually inspecting for air bubbles. If the airtightness of the electric actuator is poor, water will enter the inner cavity of the casing, damaging the electrical components inside and resulting in higher costs.

[0006] In summary, there is currently a lack of an airtightness testing device that can effectively test electric actuators. Summary of the Invention

The lower casing 61 has an upper edge protrusion on its upper outer periphery, and the upper casing 62 has a lower edge protrusion on its lower outer periphery that abuts against the top surface of the upper edge protrusion. When the upper and lower edge protrusions are abutting against each other, they form the edge protrusions of the electric actuator 6. The electric actuator 6 is provided with a connector located at the upper end of the lower casing 61. The electric actuator 6 also has a crank 63, one end of which extends into the upper casing 62, and the other end of which is located outside the upper casing 62.

[0032] The control component is mounted on the frame 1 (not shown in the figure). The control component is electrically connected to the press 2, the drive module 4, and the leak detector component. When the lower sealing block 3 is positioned directly below the upper sealing block 5, the control component is adapted to drive the upper sealing block 5 downwards via the pressure plate 22, causing the upper sealing block 5 to abut and close with the lower sealing block 3, thereby enclosing the upper sealing groove 51 and the lower sealing groove 31 to form a closed test chamber. When the upper sealing block 5 and the lower sealing block 3 are closed, the control component is also adapted to control the leak detector component to perform an airtightness test on the electric actuator 6 placed within the test chamber.

[0033] In this embodiment, the control components include a controller, a control panel, and indicator lights. The controller, control panel, and indicator lights are all mounted on rack 1. The control panel is connected to the controller. Since the controller and control panel are existing technologies, they will not be described in detail.

[0034] In this embodiment, the leak detection component includes a leak detector and a gas pipeline. The leak detector is mounted on the frame 1 and connected to the upper sealing groove 51 via the gas pipeline. The leak detector is also connected to the control component.

[0035] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the upper end of the upper sealing groove 51 is provided with an annular groove 511 to avoid the crank 63 at the upper end of the electric actuator 6. When the upper sealing groove 51 and the lower sealing groove 31 enclose and form a test chamber, the inner sidewall of the upper sealing groove 51 is adapted to be spaced apart from the electric actuator 6 placed in the test chamber to allow gas to flow.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the press 2 includes a frame 21, a pressure plate 22, a hydraulic cylinder 23, and a second buffer 24. The hydraulic cylinder 23 is connected to the control assembly.

[0037] Frame 21 includes a top plate, columns, and a bottom plate arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The bottom plate of frame 21 is connected to the top of frame 1. Four columns are located at the four corners of the bottom plate. A pressure plate 22 is placed between the top and bottom plates, and its four corners are slidably connected to the columns via corresponding guide sleeves.

The upper sealing block 5 extends along the first horizontal direction, and one end of it is provided with a handle 54 for easy gripping by the operator, and the other end of it is provided with a mating block 55 that cooperates with the proximity switch 26.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the upper sealing block 5 installed on the pull-out slot 221 is not properly installed, i.e., the mating block 55 does not trigger the proximity switch 26, the control component controls the warning indicator light on the frame 1 to illuminate. When the upper sealing block 5 installed on the pull-out slot 221 is properly installed, i.e., the mating block 55 triggers the proximity switch 26, the control component controls the warning indicator light on the frame 1 to extinguish. Workers can use the warning indicator light to determine whether the upper sealing block 5 is properly installed, thus improving safety performance.

[0043] In this embodiment, a pad 27 is provided between the top of the upper sealing block 5 and the bottom of the pressure plate 22. The pad 27 is placed in the pull-out groove 221 and is connected to the pressure plate 22 by bolts.

[0054] Furthermore, to improve the adaptability of the device, a horizontal groove 311 is provided at the upper end of the lower sealing groove 31 to accommodate the horizontal connector 64a. A vertical groove 512 is provided at the lower end of the upper sealing groove 51 to accommodate the vertical connector 64b. The horizontal groove 311 and the vertical groove 512 are adapted to connect the upper sealing groove 51 and the lower sealing groove 31 when the upper sealing block 5 and the lower sealing block 3 are closed in contact. By providing the horizontal groove 311 and the vertical groove 512, the device can detect both electric actuators 6 with horizontal connectors 64a and electric actuators 6 with vertical connectors 64b.

[0055] In this embodiment, the working principle of the airtightness detection device is as follows: Before the airtightness testing device is put into operation, the lower sealing block 3 is placed at the feeding end of the slide rail 42.

[0056] The operator places the electric actuator 6 into the lower sealing groove 31 of the lower sealing block 3. At this time, the upper housing 62 of the electric actuator 6 is exposed outside the lower sealing block 3. The photoelectric sensor 44 can determine whether the electric actuator 6 is placed in the lower sealing groove 31 of the lower sealing block 3 by detecting whether the upper housing 62 is above the lower sealing block 3.

[0057] After the electric actuator 6 is placed on the lower sealing block 3, the operator starts the device through the control panel. The control component controls the drive cylinder 43 to move, so that the mounting plate 46 drives the lower sealing block 3 to the detection end of the slide rail 42.

[0058] When the operator starts the device via the control panel, if the photoelectric sensor 44 detects that an electric actuator 6 is placed in the lower sealing groove 31 of the lower sealing block 3, the control component will drive the drive cylinder 43 to move normally according to the detection result. If the photoelectric sensor 44 detects that no electric actuator 6 is placed in the lower sealing groove 31 of the lower sealing block 3, the control component will control the buzzer to sound an alarm according to the detection result, and the drive cylinder 43 will not move, to indicate to the operator that there is no electric actuator 6 on the lower sealing block 3. During this period, the photoelectric sensor 44 is set to prevent the unloaded lower sealing block 3 from moving to the detection end of the slide rail 42, thereby avoiding the device from doing useless work.

[0059] After the lower sealing block 3 moves to the detection end of the slide rail 42, the control component controls the hydraulic cylinder 23 to drive the upper sealing block 5 to press down, so that the upper sealing block 5 and the lower sealing block 3 abut and close, and the upper sealing groove 51 and the lower sealing groove 31 enclose and form a closed test chamber. At this time, the electric actuator 6 is placed inside the test chamber.

[0060] After the upper sealing block 5 and the lower sealing block 3 abut and close, the control component, through the leak detection component, controls the gas pipeline to inject a fixed amount of gas (i.e., air) into the test chamber. Subsequently, the leak detection component detects the air pressure inside the test chamber and sends the detection result to the control component. The control component compares the detection result with the airtightness threshold. If the detected air pressure in the test chamber is greater than or equal to the airtightness threshold, the electric actuator 6 is considered airtight and is a good product. If the detected air pressure in the test chamber is less than the airtightness threshold, the electric actuator 6 is considered airtight and is a defective product. When the electric actuator 6 is good, the control component controls the indicator light on the frame 1 to illuminate green; when the electric actuator 6 is defective, the control component controls the indicator light on the frame 1 to illuminate red. Operators can determine whether the electric actuator 6 is airtight or not based on the color of the indicator light.

[0061] After the leak detector component completes its detection, the control component first controls the hydraulic cylinder 23 to drive the upper sealing block 5 to rise and reset, and then controls the drive cylinder 43 to drive the lower sealing block 3 to reset to the loading end of the slide rail 42. Afterwards, the operator removes the electric actuator 6 from inside the lower sealing block 3.

[0062] This application utilizes the cooperation between a press, a lower sealing block, an upper sealing block, and a leak detector assembly to achieve airtightness testing of electric actuators. The operation is simple and effectively protects the internal electrical components of the electric actuator. Quick-release mechanisms between the mounting plate and the lower sealing block, and between the upper sealing block and the pressure plate, allow operators to easily replace different lower and upper sealing blocks, thus adapting to different models of electric actuators. The inclusion of horizontal and vertical slots allows the device to test both electric actuators with horizontal and vertical connectors, improving its adaptability. The abutment assembly ensures stable placement of the mounting plate.

Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
