The invention relates to the technical field of automobile wire harness sheath quality inspection, in particular to an automobile wire harness sheath sealing detection device and method.The automobile wire harness sheath sealing detection device is characterized in that an anti-explosion glass water tank is fixedly installed on a
machine body, and a sealing detection part conveys
carbon dioxide gas into a wire harness sheath immersed in a
sodium hydroxide solution through a first
gas supply pipe; whether bubbles exist in the
sodium hydroxide solution and whether the
sodium hydroxide solution changes from blue to yellow are observed, and if yes, the
carbon dioxide gas in the wire harness sheath leaks. An explosion-proof glass water tank for dissolving a
sodium hydroxide solution of
bromothymol blue is arranged, a lifting frame capable of vertically lifting is arranged on an oscillation
moving frame, then air is conveyed into a wire harness sheath through a second air supply
pipe, and after the
sodium hydroxide solution is heated, whether the
sodium hydroxide solution changes from yellow to blue or not is observed, so that secondary judgment is carried out; meanwhile, the sodium hydroxide solution for detection is subjected to convenient and efficient state
recovery, so that the sodium hydroxide solution can be reused conveniently.
