Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of helium detection technology, specifically relating to an integrated vacuum chamber helium detection and helium recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] Helium leak detection, also known as helium gas leak testing, is a highly efficient inspection method. Helium leak detection equipment typically includes a vacuum system, a helium detection system, product piping, an electrical control system, pneumatic components, and tooling fixtures. During helium leak detection, the workpiece is usually placed inside a vacuum chamber, then the chamber is evacuated, and helium gas is introduced into the workpiece. The gas is then inserted into the vacuum chamber through a pipe at the detection end of the helium leak detector to check for leaks. However, the helium gas inside the chamber usually needs to be recovered for subsequent use after the detection process. Existing equipment is relatively fragmented, making it difficult to connect the entire process, resulting in time-consuming helium leak detection. Furthermore, operators need to manually return each piece of equipment to its original position, which is cumbersome and has certain shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The operator first opens the sealed door 2, then opens the closed door on one side of the vacuum chamber 3, and then places the workpiece into the vacuum chamber 3. The operator rotates the bidirectional lead screw 18, which causes the two push plates 20 to move closer together, thereby causing the clamping plates 21 to move towards each other, clamping both sides of the workpiece and keeping it fixed. Then, the insertion short tube 9 is pulled down, so that the insertion short tube 9 is inserted into the workpiece, while the suction cup 24 is tightly adsorbed onto the surface of the workpiece. Then, the closed door is closed. At this time, the operator controls the first vacuum pump 5 to work, so that the first evacuation pipe evacuates air inside the vacuum chamber 3, keeping it vacuum. Then, the operator... Helium gas is introduced into helium pipeline 4, allowing it to enter the workpiece. Workers use the detection tube 7 on the helium mass spectrometer leak detector 6 to check for leaks inside the vacuum chamber 3. After the check, the worker starts the second vacuum pump 10. The second suction pipe at the inlet of the second vacuum pump 10 draws the helium from inside the vacuum chamber 3 into the balance tank 11. Once the balance tank 11 contains a sufficient amount of helium and reaches a certain preset value, the worker starts the third vacuum pump 12. The third suction pipe at the inlet of the third vacuum pump 12 draws the helium from the balance tank 11 into the low-pressure tank 13. After a certain period, the worker uses the compressor 14 to transfer the gas into the high-pressure tank 16 for subsequent use.
