Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece airtightness testing technology, specifically an automatic sealing mechanism for airtightness testing. Background Technology

[0002] An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, and electric motors. Internal combustion engines, for example, typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term "engine" can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engine, aircraft engine). Engines originated in England, so the concept of an engine also originates from English, where it originally meant "a mechanical device that generates power."

[0003] Existing engine processing equipment typically involves manual sealing operations for airtightness testing of engine workpieces. This method is inefficient, prone to human error, and often has multiple air passage interfaces that need to be sealed. Existing equipment may not be able to seal multiple interfaces simultaneously and accurately, resulting in inconsistent seals during airtightness testing and affecting the reliability of the test results.

[0004] Therefore, a solution is needed. Utility Model Content

Utilizing three gas flow transmission heads in the sealing device and three sealing heads in the sealing device, synchronous hydraulic rods drive multiple gas path interfaces to achieve precise and synchronized sealing, ensuring consistent sealing across all interfaces and preventing differences in sealing from affecting test results. Simultaneously, the pressure sealing sensor detection device uses a hydraulic column to drive an upper pressure plate, with a guide structure consisting of a guide rod and a sliding sleeve to ensure sealing accuracy. Furthermore, several detection sensors at the bottom of the upper pressure plate (such as pressure sensors, flow meters, or helium mass spectrometers, which monitor changes in internal pressure or the flow / concentration of leaking media to determine if the workpiece is leaking; if the pressure drops too quickly or the leakage exceeds the limit, the airtightness is deemed unqualified) monitor the sealing status in real time, further ensuring testing reliability. This system comprehensively solves the problems of low efficiency, large errors, and inconsistent sealing across multiple interfaces inherent in existing technologies, providing an efficient, accurate, and reliable automated solution for airtightness testing of engine workpieces.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0021] Example 1

[0022] To address the aforementioned problems: existing engine processing equipment typically relies on manual sealing operations for airtightness testing of engine workpieces, which is inefficient, prone to human error, and often has multiple air passage interfaces that need to be sealed. Existing equipment may not be able to seal multiple interfaces simultaneously and accurately, leading to inconsistent sealing during airtightness testing and affecting the reliability of the test results.

[0023] The solution is as follows: An automatic sealing mechanism for airtightness testing includes a device body 1. The device body 1 includes a base 2, a worktable 3, a main dustproof frame 4, a sealing device 5, a sealing device 6, a workpiece to be tested 7, and a pressing and sealing sensor detection device 8. The worktable 3 is installed on top of the base 2, the main dustproof frame 4 is installed on top of the worktable 3, the sealing device 5 is installed inside the main dustproof frame 4 at the left end, the sealing device 6 is installed inside the main dustproof frame 4 at the right end, and the workpiece to be tested 7 is installed at the center of the top of the worktable 3, located between the sealing device 5 and the sealing device 6. 4. An internal fixing plate 9 is installed. The compression sealing sensor detection device 8 is installed on the fixing plate 9. The sealing device 6 includes a first fixing frame 10, a detection medium mounting plate 11, a first hydraulic rod 12, and a sealing gas flow transmission head 13. The detection medium mounting plate 11 is located inside the first fixing frame 10. The first hydraulic rod 12 is installed inside the first fixing frame 10. The driving end of the first hydraulic rod 12 is connected to the detection medium mounting plate 11. There are three sealing gas flow transmission heads 13. All three sealing gas flow transmission heads 13 are installed inside the detection medium mounting plate 11.

[0024] Analysis of the above: The first hydraulic rod 12 drives the detection medium mounting plate 11 to move inside the first fixed frame 10, causing the three sealing gas flow transmission heads 13 to approach and align with the corresponding gas path interface of the workpiece 7 to be tested, thus achieving sealing while transmitting the detection medium; after the workpiece 7 is in place, the first hydraulic rod 12 extends, pushing the detection medium mounting plate 11 and the sealing gas flow transmission heads 13 to precisely align with the workpiece's gas path interface; after the test is completed, the first hydraulic rod 12 retracts, causing the components to reset; through the first hydraulic rod 12, automated sealing is achieved, and the three sealing gas flow transmission heads 13 can simultaneously seal multiple interfaces, improving efficiency while avoiding human error and ensuring the stability of the detection medium transmission.

[0025] Example 2:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3The present invention provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the sealing device 5 includes a second fixing frame 14, a second hydraulic rod 15, a sealing plate 16 and a sealing head 17. The sealing plate 16 is located inside the second fixing frame 14. The second hydraulic rod 15 is installed inside the second fixing frame 14. The driving end of the second hydraulic rod 15 is connected to the outer end of the sealing plate 16. There are three sealing heads 17, and all three sealing heads 17 are installed inside the sealing plate 16.

[0027] Analysis of the above: The second hydraulic rod 15 drives the sealing plate 16 to move inside the second fixed frame 14, so that the three sealing heads 17 approach and seal the other side of the air passage interface of the workpiece 7 to be tested; after the workpiece 7 to be tested is in place, the second hydraulic rod 15 extends, pushing the sealing plate 16 and the sealing heads 17 to seal with the workpiece interface; after the test is completed, the second hydraulic rod 15 retracts and resets; the second hydraulic rod 15 realizes automatic sealing, and the three sealing heads 17 simultaneously seal multiple interfaces, which, together with the sealing device 6, ensures the consistency of the sealing of each interface, thereby ensuring the reliability of the airtightness test results and solving the problem of inconsistent sealing of multiple interfaces in the prior art.

[0028] Example 3:

[0029] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: The pressing and sealing sensor detection device 8 includes an upper hydraulic column 18, an upper pressure plate 19, a detection sensor 20, and a guide rod 21. The upper hydraulic column 18 is installed on the top of the fixed plate 9, and the upper pressure plate 19 is located below the fixed plate 9. The bottom driving end of the upper hydraulic column 18 is connected to the top of the upper pressure plate 19. There are several detection sensors 20, and all of the detection sensors 20 are installed on the bottom of the upper pressure plate 19. There is a set of guide rods 21, and a set of guide rods 21 are respectively installed on the top of the upper pressure plate 19.

[0030] Analysis of the above: The upper hydraulic column 18 drives the upper pressure plate 19 to move up and down. Several detection sensors 20 at the bottom of the upper pressure plate 19 monitor the sealing status in real time. The guide rod 21 provides guidance for the movement of the upper pressure plate 19 to ensure its accuracy. When the sealing device 5 and the sealing device 6 perform sealing, the upper hydraulic column 18 drives the upper pressure plate 19 to move downward to assist in pressing the workpiece. At the same time, the detection sensors 20 monitor whether the sealing is in place. After the detection is completed, the upper hydraulic column 18 drives the upper pressure plate 19 to reset upward. The upper hydraulic column 18 realizes the automation of pressing, the detection sensors 20 provide real-time feedback on the sealing status to ensure the accuracy of sealing, and the guide rod 21 ensures the stability of the movement of the upper pressure plate 19, further improving the reliability of airtightness detection.

[0031] Example 4:

[0032] Please see Figure 1-3The present invention provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the top of the fixed plate 9 is provided with a set of sliding sleeves 22 distributed in a symmetrical manner, and a set of guide rods 21 respectively pass through a set of sliding sleeves 22.

[0033] Analysis of the above content: The guide rod 21 passes through the sliding sleeve 22 to guide the up and down movement of the upper pressure plate 19 and prevent it from deviating; when the upper pressure plate 19 moves up and down, the guide rod 21 slides synchronously in the sliding sleeve 22; in cooperation with the guide rod 21, the guiding accuracy of the movement of the upper pressure plate 19 is further enhanced, ensuring the accuracy of the pressing and detection actions, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire device.

[0034] Working principle: During operation, the workpiece 7 to be tested is precisely placed at the top center of the workbench 3, between the sealing device 5 and the plugging device 6. The entire mechanism then starts the automated operation process: In the sealing device 5, the second hydraulic rod 15, which is fixedly supported by the second fixed frame 14, precisely drives the plugging plate 16 to move towards the workpiece side, causing the three plugging heads 17 installed on the inner side of the plugging plate 16 to simultaneously fit against the multi-airway interface on the left side of the workpiece, achieving a reliable seal. At the same time, the first hydraulic rod 12 on the first fixed frame 10 of the plugging device 6 synchronously drives the detection medium mounting plate 11 to move, so that the three plugging gas flow transmission heads 13 on the plate precisely connect to the corresponding airway interface on the right side of the workpiece. While completing the plugging, the detection medium is stably transmitted, effectively avoiding the problem of asynchronous plugging of multiple interfaces during manual operation. To further ensure sealing accuracy and detection reliability, the pressing and sealing sensor detection device 8 installed on the fixed plate 9 inside the main dustproof frame 4 is activated simultaneously. The upper hydraulic column 18 drives the upper pressure plate 19 to move down smoothly, which not only helps to press the workpiece 7 to be tested to prevent its displacement, but also monitors the sealing status of each interface in real time through several detection sensors 20 at the bottom of the upper pressure plate 19, and promptly provides feedback on whether the sealing is in place. A set of guide rods 21 installed on the top of the upper pressure plate 19 cooperates with a set of symmetrical sliding sleeves 22 on the fixed plate 9 to provide precise guidance for the movement of the upper pressure plate 19, completely eliminating the phenomenon of deviation. The entire process, through the coordinated operation of various components, achieves fully automated operation from workpiece positioning, synchronous sealing and plugging of multiple interfaces, clamping and fixing to status monitoring. It not only completely replaces the traditional manual plugging operation, greatly eliminating human error and significantly improving the efficiency of airtightness testing, but also ensures the consistency and accuracy of sealing of each interface through the synchronous plugging design of multiple interfaces, precise guiding structure and real-time monitoring function. Ultimately, it greatly improves the reliability of airtightness test results and successfully solves the core problems of low efficiency of manual operation, inconsistent sealing of multiple interfaces and unstable test results in the existing technology.
