Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of valve testing equipment, and in particular to a testing device for automotive air conditioning valves. Background Technology
[0002] Valves in automotive air conditioning systems are core components for refrigerant circulation control. Among them, the expansion valve senses the evaporator outlet temperature through a temperature-sensing bulb and automatically adjusts the refrigerant flow, directly impacting the air conditioning cooling efficiency. As the boundary between high and low pressure, the expansion valve must possess precise throttling and pressure reduction capabilities and flow control to prevent compressor liquid slugging and adapt to different operating conditions. During production, to ensure valve sealing and flow regulation accuracy, an airtightness test is performed on the valve body using an air immersion water method.
[0003] Existing testing equipment generally uses rubber seals to ventilate the valve inlet pipe and seal the connection. Repeated contact and collision between the rubber seals and the end of the inlet pipe can easily cause cracks or even breakage. This not only leads to seal failure and affects testing accuracy, but broken rubber residue may also remain inside the valve body, causing contamination during subsequent assembly or blockage of the flow channel.

When draining water, the solenoid valve on the drain pipe 5 is opened, and the solenoid valves on the circulating water pump 3 and the water supply pipe 4 are closed.

In use, the outlet pipe of the expansion valve product is passed through the annular abutment piece 18 and the through hole 31, and the annular abutment piece 18 is pressed down. Then the expansion valve product is rotated to move the inlet pipe of the expansion valve into the limiting insert on the limiting frame 22. After the expansion valve is released, the stability of the expansion valve is ensured by the action of the support spring 21. The sealing test mechanism includes a connecting pipe 12 fixed to the rear side of the moving plate 7, a sealing outer ring 17 sleeved on the connecting pipe 12, a sealing electric push rod 11 fixed to the front side of the moving plate 7 and fixedly connected to the sealing outer ring 17, several elastic plates 13 fixed to the rear end of the connecting pipe 12, a sealing gasket 14 disposed inside the several elastic plates 13, and an air pump 16 disposed in front of the immersion tank 1. The rear ends of the several elastic plates 13 are all extended away from the sealing gasket 14. When the expansion valve inlet pipe is located inside the several elastic plates 13, the sealing electric push rod 11 pushes the sealing outer ring 17 to move towards the expansion valve. The sealing outer ring 17 squeezes the several elastic plates 13, and then the sealing gasket 14 seals the connection between the elastic plates 13 and the expansion valve inlet pipe. The output end of the air pump 16 is connected to the air pipe 15. The end of the air pipe 15 away from the air pump 16 passes through the moving plate 7 and is connected to the connecting pipe 12. The air pipe 15 is a flexible tube. Two baffles 10 are provided inside the immersion tank 1. The front side of the baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the limiting slide rod 9.

The upper and lower ends of the abutment spring 30 are fixedly connected to the auxiliary plates 28 and the adjacent side walls of the L-shaped support frame 6, respectively. A movable electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the L-shaped support frame 6. The output end of the movable electric push rod 8 passes through the L-shaped support frame 6 and is fixedly connected to the front end of the movable plate 7. The movable electric push rod 8 can move the sealing test mechanism to the inlet pipe position of the expansion valve during product testing. The vibration mechanism includes a partition plate 32 fixed to the bottom of the L-shaped support frame 6, a horizontal plate 33 set below the L-shaped support frame 6, a vibration motor 34 set in front of the immersion tank 1, and a vibration cam 36 set below the horizontal plate 33. There are two partition plates 32. The left and right ends of the horizontal plate 33 are fixed between the two partition plates 32. A rotating rod 35 is fixedly connected to the front end of the vibration cam 36. The end of the rotating rod 35 is fixedly connected to the output end of the vibration motor 34. The vibration motor 34 drives the rotating rod 35 and the vibration cam 36 to rotate. The vibration cam 36 drives the product limiting mechanism and the expansion valve to vibrate, which can simulate the mechanical vibration of the vehicle during driving, and thus verify the reliability of the valve under complex working conditions. An L-shaped external auxiliary frame 37 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the immersion tank 1. A lifting electric push rod 38 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the external auxiliary frame 37. The output end of the lifting electric push rod 38 passes through the upper side wall of the external auxiliary frame 37 and is fixedly connected to a lifting plate 39. The rear end of the lifting plate 39 abuts against the inner rear wall of the external auxiliary frame 37. A temperature control tube 20 is provided at the lower end of the lifting plate 39. A limiting hole 25 is opened on the upper side wall of the connecting frame 24. A limiting ring 26 is provided inside the limiting hole 25. The temperature control tube 20 is located directly above the limiting ring 26. When it is necessary to test the temperature sensing bulb structure, the lifting electric push rod 38 is used to push the lifting plate 39 and the temperature control tube 20 downward. The temperature control tube 20 can be moved to the outside of the temperature sensing bulb. The environment outside the temperature sensing bulb is heated by the electric heating wire. When the temperature is heated to the set temperature required for the expansion valve to open, bubbles are generated at the outlet pipe of the expansion valve, indicating that the expansion valve product quality is normal.
[0017] Working principle: In use, the outlet pipe of the expansion valve is passed through the annular abutment piece 18 and the through hole 31, and the annular abutment piece 18 is pressed down. Then, the expansion valve is rotated to move the inlet pipe of the expansion valve into the limiting insert on the limiting frame 22. After the expansion valve is released, the stability of the expansion valve is ensured by the support spring 21. At the same time, the temperature sensing ball on the expansion valve is placed inside the limiting ring 26. The moving electric push rod 8 is used to push the moving plate 7 and the sealing test mechanism towards the expansion valve. When several elastic plates 13 are all located outside the inlet pipe of the expansion valve, the sealing electric push rod 11 is used to push the sealing outer ring 17 towards the expansion valve. The sealing outer ring 17 squeezes several elastic plates 13, and then the sealing gasket 14 seals the connection between the elastic plates 13 and the inlet pipe of the expansion valve. The air pump 16 and the air pipe 15 are used to introduce gas of a certain pressure into the expansion valve. The circulating water pump 3 introduces test water into the immersion tank 1. When the connection between the elastic plate 13 and the expansion valve inlet pipe is below the liquid surface, stop water injection and observe whether air bubbles are generated at the outlet pipe of the expansion valve and at the connection between the elastic plate 13 and the expansion valve inlet pipe. If no air bubbles are generated at this time, drive the rotating rod 35 and the vibrating cam 36 to rotate through the vibration motor 34. Use the vibrating cam 36 to drive the product limiting mechanism and the expansion valve to vibrate, which can simulate the mechanical vibration of a vehicle in motion, thereby verifying the reliability of the valve under complex working conditions. During the vibration, observe whether air bubbles are generated at the outlet pipe of the expansion valve. If no air bubbles are generated, it means that the product is normal. Then use the lifting electric push rod 38 to push the lifting plate 39 and the temperature control tube 20 downward. The temperature control tube 20 can be moved to the outside of the temperature sensing bulb. Use the electric heating wire to heat the environment outside the temperature sensing bulb. When the temperature is heated to the set temperature required for the expansion valve to open, air bubbles are generated at the outlet pipe of the expansion valve, then the expansion valve product quality is normal.
