On one hand, referring to fig. 1 to 2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of an air-out detection mechanism in an air-tightness detection device according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is a partially enlarged view of a region Q in fig. 1, the air-tightness detection device includes the air-out detection mechanism 1, and the air-out detection mechanism 1 can detect the content of a specific gas around a detected region a; the suction detection mechanism 1 includes a first seal cover 11, a suction assembly 12, a detection assembly 13, and a shielding member 14.
The first seal cover 11 has a first accommodation chamber 111, and the region a to be measured is located in the first accommodation chamber 111. The gas-extracting assembly 12 is connected to the first sealing cover 11 to extract the gas in the first accommodating cavity 111, and the detecting assembly 13 is connected to the first sealing cover 11 to detect the specific gas content in the first accommodating cavity 111. The shielding member 14 is located in the first accommodating cavity 111 and is arranged above the measured area a in a floating manner, and in an air-extracting state, the shielding member 14 can move to the measured area a to protect the measured area a.

The shape and structure of the first sealing cover 11 may be determined according to the size and shape of the object to be measured 3 or the area to be measured a, and may be square, arc, or other irregular shapes, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
The air exhaust assembly 12 is communicated with the first sealing cover 11 through a pipeline or the like, and is used for exhausting the gas initially existing in the first accommodating cavity 111, that is, exhausting the gas in the first accommodating cavity 111, so that a vacuum state is formed in the first accommodating cavity 111.
The detection component 13 is communicated with the first sealing cover 11 through a pipeline and the like, and is used for detecting the content of the specific gas in the first accommodating cavity 111. Specifically, when the air extraction detection mechanism 1 works, firstly, the air extraction component 12 is used for pre-vacuumizing the first accommodating cavity 111, the object to be detected 3 and the air extraction detection mechanism 1 are subjected to standing treatment after the vacuum treatment is finished, the detection component 13 works after the standing treatment is carried out for a period of time, and if the sealing condition of the detected area a is good, the detection component 13 cannot detect the existence of specific gas in the first accommodating cavity 111; if the detected area a is in a gas leakage state, the specific gas inside the detected area a will escape into the first accommodating cavity 111, and the detecting component 13 can detect the existence of the specific gas in the first accommodating cavity 111.

Specifically, if the area a is in a gas leakage state, the air pumping assembly 12 pumps the gas in the first accommodating cavity 111 and also pumps the specific gas in the area a, so that when the subsequent detection assembly 13 is operated, even if the area a is in a gas leakage state, the detection assembly 13 cannot detect the specific gas, and thus an erroneous detection result is easily obtained. The shielding piece 14 isolates the area a to be detected from the gas environment in the first accommodating cavity 111, so that the gas pumping assembly 12 can only pump the gas in the first accommodating cavity 111 away, and cannot pump the gas in the area a to be detected away, thereby improving the final detection precision.
