  • Patent number: 11685226
    Abstract: An automobile air conditioning unit leak detection device including a detection unit, a control unit, and a probe unit. The detection unit includes a sound detector member and a camera member. Each member is able to detect a leak from the air conditioning unit. The control unit includes a housing member having a pair of strap elements for attaching the housing member to a wearer's wrist. The housing member includes a display element for outputting a viewable image received from the camera member, and a speaker element for outputting one or more sound waves received from the sound detector member. The probe unit includes an elongated flexible cable member having the detection unit attached at a distal end and the control unit attached at a proximate end. The flexible cable member transmits one or more signals between the control unit and the detection unit.

    Abstract: An automobile air conditioning unit leak detection device including a detection unit, a control unit, and a probe unit. The detection unit includes a sound detector member and a camera member. Each member is able to detect a leak from the air conditioning unit. The sound detector member detects a leak from the air conditioning unit based on pressure sensing. The camera member detects a leak from the air conditioning unit based on image sensing using an ultraviolet (UV) lens. The control unit includes a housing member having a pair of strap elements for attaching the housing member to a wearer's wrist. The housing member includes a display element for outputting a viewable image received from the camera member, and a speaker element for outputting one or more sound waves received from the sound detector member. The probe unit includes an elongated flexible cable member having the detection unit attached at a distal end and the control unit attached at a proximate end.
