[0021] S2, when the inner cavities of the movable sealing plug and the fixed sealing plug are in contact with the through holes at both ends of the instrument to be detected and are sealed, the motor continues to work to drive the threaded sleeve to move, so that the top block extrudes the first inclined block, and the elasticity of the first spring rod makes the first inclined block move downward, so that the top block is in contact with the piston rod, and in the process of continuous movement of the threaded sleeve, the piston rod will extrude the piston plate, the movement of the piston plate compresses the gas in the piston cylinder and sends it to the inside of the instrument to be detected through the air supply pipe, so that the internal gas pressure increases, and the air tightness can be detected;

[0022] S3, when the motor drives the screw to rotate, the driving pulley rotates on the surface of the screw, and the driving pulley drives the driven pulley to rotate through the belt on the surface of the driving pulley, so as to rotate the lead screw, the lead screw drives the sliding sleeve to move, the sliding sleeve drives the marker ring to move through the connecting block, and when the movable sealing plug is driven to seal and limit the instrument, the marker ring and the movable sealing plug move synchronously, and after the inner cavity of the movable sealing plug is in contact with one end of the instrument, the lead screw continues to rotate to drive the marker ring to move due to the fact that the motor is still working, at this time the piston cylinder pressurizes the inner cavity of the instrument, when the instrument leaks, gas will be ejected outward, through the movement of the marker ring, when the gas at a certain position leaks and ejects, the I-shaped plate will be extruded, the I-shaped plate moves upward, the second inclined block extrudes the trapezoidal inclined block, the trapezoidal inclined block extrudes the roller, the vertical plate moves downward, the vertical plate drives the marker ball to move, the surface of the marker ball is in contact with the gas leakage position, the surface of the marker ball is coated with dye, so as to mark the specific gas leakage position, so as to complete the air tightness detection of the medical instrument.

[0023] The present application has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. This invention involves opening the sealing door and placing the tubular medical device to be tested between the fixed sealing plug and the movable sealing plug. Then, the motor is started, and the motor drives the screw to rotate. The screw drives the top block at one end of the threaded sleeve to move, which squeezes the first inclined block at the bottom of one side of the inner cavity of the limiting cylinder. This causes the limiting cylinder to move to the right side of the inner cavity of the test chamber, thereby sealing the through holes at both ends of the device to be tested by the movable sealing plug and the fixed sealing plug. Then, the vacuum pump is started to evacuate the air inside the test chamber, so that the inside of the test chamber reaches a vacuum state.

[0025] 2. In this invention, the movement of the threaded sleeve causes one side of the inner cavity of the movable sealing plug and the fixed sealing plug to fit into the through holes at both ends of the instrument to be tested, and seals them. While the screwed sleeve is moving, the motor continues to drive the threaded sleeve to move, causing the top block to press against the first inclined block. The elasticity of the first spring rod causes the first inclined block to move downward, thereby bringing the top block into contact with the piston rod. As the threaded sleeve continues to move, it will drive the piston rod to press against the piston plate. The movement of the piston plate compresses the gas inside the piston cylinder and sends it to the inside of the instrument to be tested through the air supply pipe, thereby increasing the internal air pressure and thus enabling the airtightness to be tested.

[0026] 3. This invention uses a motor to drive the active pulley on the surface of the screw to rotate, which in turn drives the driven pulley to rotate via a belt. This causes the lead screw to rotate, which in turn moves the sliding sleeve. The sliding sleeve, through a connecting block, moves the marking ring. When the moving sealing plug seals and limits the device, the marking ring and the moving sealing plug move synchronously. After one side of the inner cavity of the moving sealing plug is in contact with one end of the device, the lead screw continues to rotate and move the marking ring because the motor is still running. At this time, the piston cylinder pressurizes the inner cavity of the device. When there is an internal leak, gas will be ejected outward. Through the movement of the marking ring, when there is a gas ejection at a certain position, it will squeeze the I-shaped plate. The I-shaped plate moves upward, causing the second inclined block to squeeze the trapezoidal inclined block. The trapezoidal inclined block squeezes the roller, causing the vertical plate to move downward. The vertical plate moves the marking ball, causing the surface of the marking ball to contact the leak. The surface of the marking ball is coated with dye, thus marking the specific leak. This completes the airtightness test of the medical device.

[0027] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
