There is provided a sealing detection method for a sealing structure, comprising the following steps: S1, attaching a thin film on a gasket to seal an opening; S2, disposing a sealing ring directly below the base to seal a lower opening of the mounting through hole; S3, providing a vent hole on sealing ring through which the sealing ring communicates with a gas source with a gas pressure sensor; S4, starting to supply or pump gas to form a positive pressure or a negative pressure region between the sealing ring and the base; S5, maintaining the air pressure state for a certain time, during which the gas pressure sensor performs real-time detection of gas flow; S6, comparing detected gas flow with qualified threshold range; S7, sorting products with the sealing structure according to detection results; S8, peeling off the thin film and completing the detection.
Dynamic vacuum decay leak detection method and apparatus
A method and system of testing for package leaks by a test system is disclosed. The test system includes a vacuum source and a test chamber in which a package is received for testing. A package is placed in the test chamber, and a vacuum is drawn on the test chamber by the vacuum source. A predetermined pressure level in the test system is detected, and based upon the detection of the predetermined pressure level, the test system determines when to stop drawing the vacuum. The test chamber is isolated from the vacuum source based upon the determination, and subsequently the test system detects the presence or absence of a leak in the package based on pressure measurements in the test chamber. A timer may be used to determine the delay in isolating the test chamber from the vacuum source after detection of the predetermined pressure level.
LEAK DETECTION DEVICE
A leak detection device operable to measure fluid leaks in an element to be tested that is positioned in a first enclosure. In one example, a measuring module is positioned in a second enclosure and connected to the first enclosure and the element to be tested by an aeraulic connection. At least one of the first enclosure and the measuring module are thermally insulated using an insulating material.
Vacuum decay leak detection with correction for interferences
The current invention mitigates the problem of incorrect determinations of leaking packages during vacuum decay leak detection testing. As described in this disclosure, a testing chamber used for vacuum decay leak detection testing is exposed to interferences when not under vacuum or at low pressure conditions between testing cycles. By measuring one or more exposure time intervals immediately preceding a present test cycle, it is possible to improve detection of leaking packages by adjusting raw measured pressure gathered during vacuum decay leak testing based upon the length of exposure times and create corrected pressure data used to improve vacuum decay leak detection.
Container content monitoring device and system
A container content monitoring system includes at least one container content monitoring device including a top plate connected to a housing, a weight sensor configured to detect a weight of an object arranged on the top plate, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the object where the object contacts the top plate, a transmitter, and a controller operatively connected to the temperature sensor, the weight sensor, and the transceiver. The transmitter may be configured to communicate with a cloud server remote from the container content monitoring device. The container content monitoring system further includes a router device configured to communicate with the at least one container content monitoring device, a cloud server remote from the at least one container content monitoring device, and a first user device configured to communicate with the cloud server.
PRESSURE SENSOR FOR EVAPORATED FUEL LEAK DETECTOR
A pressure sensor for an evaporated fuel leak detector includes a sensor unit, a case, and a sealing resin. The sensor unit has a pressure receiving portion, a plurality of conduction terminals, and a mold resin portion. The case has a fluid flow path and a housing recess. Each remaining inner wall surface of the housing recess except for an inner wall surface on the conduction terminal side is provided with an inclined surface and a vertical surface, in a cross section along an axial direction perpendicular to a pressure receiving surface of the sensor unit. The inclined surface is inclined inward as toward a pressure receiving side. The vertical surface extends from the end of the inclined surface on the pressure receiving side to define a filling gap in which the sealing resin is filled between the side surface of the mold resin portion and the vertical surface.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TESTING THE TIGHTNESS OF A CONTAINER CLOSED BY A MEMBRANE
A method and relative apparatus for testing the tightness of a container closed by a membrane are described. The method includes steps of: submitting the container to a deforming action to increase the pressure inside the container; submitting the membrane to an abutting action to counteract the deformation of the membrane caused by the deforming action; maintaining the action of abutting the membrane at the same time as the action of deforming the container for a set period of time; interrupting the action of abutting the membrane at the end of the period of time; detecting at least one parameter related to a membrane profile when the abutting action has ceased; and comparing the at least one parameter related to the membrane profile with a predefined threshold to verify whether the tightness of the container is to be classified as defective.
