Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air tightness detection, and in particular to a multifunctional test fixture of air tightness detection equipment. Background Art

[0002] Air tightness testing equipment is widely used in the field of industrial manufacturing, especially in the quality inspection of various hoses. Hoses play an indispensable role in the automotive, aerospace, engineering machinery and other industries, such as radiator hoses, heater hoses, air filter hoses, turbocharger hoses used in automobiles, hydraulic hoses in engineering machinery and various special hoses in aviation equipment. These hoses must have good air tightness under complex environments such as pressure and temperature changes to ensure the safety and stability of the entire system. Therefore, strict air tightness testing of these hoses is an important part of ensuring their reliable performance.

[0003] Existing air tightness testing equipment has some obvious shortcomings when testing hoses. First, existing equipment can often only test hoses of a single specification and lacks versatility, which causes companies to need to replace different clamps when facing hoses of different specifications, which not only increases equipment costs but also reduces testing efficiency. In addition, when clamping hoses, the sealing effect of existing equipment is not ideal, and leakage problems caused by uneven clamping force or incomplete sealing are prone to occur, which to some extent affects the accuracy of the test results.

[0004] In order to deal with the above problems, some businesses have developed clamps that can adapt to various specifications of hoses and improve the sealing effect by improving the sealing structure. However, these improvements still have limitations. In actual applications, the existing solutions often cause leakage problems due to uneven clamping force or uneven sealing when the equipment clamps the hose. This unevenness is caused by the elasticity difference of the hose material and the uneven force during the clamping process, which ultimately leads to poor sealing effect and affects the reliability of the airtightness test.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the leakage problem caused by uneven clamping force or uneven sealing when the equipment clamps the hose, it is necessary to propose a multifunctional test fixture for airtightness testing equipment. The multifunctional test fixture can not only adapt to hoses of different specifications, but also has uniform clamping force and reliable sealing performance to improve the accuracy of the test results.

[0039] When the first screw rod rotates, the first rotating shaft drives the synchronous belt to rotate, so as to rotate the first screw rod and the second screw rod synchronously.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0041] 1. Each clamping assembly includes a clamping ring group, a driving mechanism and a boosting mechanism. The driving mechanism is connected to the clamping ring group in a transmission manner. The boosting mechanism is arranged along the axial direction of the clamping ring group. The boosting mechanism is used to seal the orifice of the hose or to increase the pressure inside the hose. By arranging the clamping ring group, the driving mechanism and the boosting mechanism, hoses of different specifications can be effectively clamped and sealed. The clamping ring group can squeeze the hose inward so that the clamping ring group and the boosting mechanism can tightly clamp the hose; and either end of the hose can extend into the clamping ring group, and the driving mechanism drives the clamping ring group to move along the direction of the boosting mechanism, so that the boosting mechanism extends into the orifice of the hose and is located in the clamping ring group, ensuring that both ends of the hose can be subjected to uniform clamping force during the entire test process, avoiding leakage problems caused by uneven clamping force, and improving the reliability of air tightness testing.

[0042] 2. Either end of the hose can be inserted into the clamping ring assembly, and the clamping ring assembly can squeeze the hose inward, and the booster mechanism can be inserted into the orifice of the hose and located inside the clamping ring assembly. The design of the clamping ring assembly and the booster mechanism can adapt to a variety of hoses of different specifications, so that the equipment can provide reliable sealing and boosting functions under different test environments. The frequency of changing equipment or clamps for hoses of different specifications is reduced, thereby improving the efficiency and economy of the equipment.

[0043] 3. The knob cover is provided with a first inclined surface along the inner part of the circumference, and each elastic clamp is provided with a second inclined surface matched with the first inclined surface along the outer surface of the circumference. The first inclined surface defines a gradually changing inner diameter from the end close to the ring member to the end away from the ring member, the end close to the ring member is the first inner diameter, the end away from the ring member is the second inner diameter, and the first inner diameter gradually decreases toward the second inner diameter. When the knob cover is installed on the ring member through a threaded connection, the first inclined surface of the knob cover forms a conical fit with the second inclined surface of the elastic clamp. When the knob cover rotates toward the direction of the ring member, since the first inner diameter gradually decreases toward the second inner diameter, the first inclined surface of the knob cover will gradually apply pressure to the second inclined surface of the elastic clamp, so that each elastic clamp is simultaneously retracted toward the inside, achieving the effect of uniformly clamping the hose. This synchronous retraction process ensures that the force of the entire clamping ring group is uniform, avoiding the problems of unstable clamping or incomplete sealing caused by uneven force distribution in traditional designs. In addition, it is also suitable for application scenarios that require air tightness testing of hoses of different diameters. Users only need to adjust the rotation angle of the knob cover to achieve precise clamping and sealing of the hose.

[0044] 4. An annular groove is provided on the outer surface of the annular member along the circumferential direction. When the knob cover is threadedly connected to the annular outer thread of the annular member through the annular inner thread, part of the structure of the knob cover will extend into the annular groove. The outer edge of the knob cover fits tightly against the inner wall of the annular groove, thereby further enhancing the connection stability between the knob cover and the annular member. The design of the annular groove plays a dual role. First, the annular groove provides a guiding and limiting function. When the knob cover rotates and is threadedly connected to the annular member, part of the knob cover extends into the annular groove, so that the knob cover can maintain higher stability during rotation and prevent tilting or unevenness during rotation. Secondly, the existence of the annular groove enables the knob cover to fit tightly against the inner wall of the annular member during rotation, forming an additional sealing area.

[0045] 5. When the driving mechanism drives the clamping ring assembly to move in the direction of the tapered nozzle, one end of the tapered first diameter of the tapered nozzle will extend into the orifice of the hose and open the orifice through the elasticity of the hose itself. When the tapered nozzle extends into the orifice of the hose, it can fully open the orifice of the hose by using the pressure brought by the diameter gradually increasing from the tapered first diameter to the tapered second diameter, thereby ensuring a uniform and tight seal between the hose and the tapered nozzle to prevent gas leakage.

The purpose and other advantages of the present application can be realized and obtained by the structures indicated in the description, claims and drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0065] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9The present application proposes a multifunctional test fixture 1 of an airtightness detection device, comprising a sealed chamber 10 for forming a vacuum environment and two clamping assemblies 20 arranged in the sealed chamber 10, the two clamping assemblies 20 are respectively connected to the two ends of a hose 2, each clamping assembly 20 comprises a clamping ring group (not marked in the figure), a driving mechanism (not marked in the figure) and a pressurizing mechanism (not marked in the figure), the driving mechanism is transmission-connected with the clamping ring group, the pressurizing mechanism is arranged along the axial direction of the clamping ring group, the pressurizing mechanism is used to seal the orifice of the hose 2 or to pressurize the inside of the hose 2; either end of the hose 2 can extend into the clamping ring group, the driving mechanism drives the clamping ring group to move along the direction of the pressurizing mechanism, so that the pressurizing mechanism extends into the orifice of the hose 2 and is located in the clamping ring group; the clamping ring group can squeeze the hose 2 inward so that the clamping ring group and the pressurizing mechanism tightly clamp the hose 2.

[0066] Specifically, the multifunctional test fixture 1 of the airtightness detection equipment includes a sealed chamber 10 for forming a vacuum environment and two clamping assemblies 20 arranged in the sealed chamber 10. The two clamping assemblies 20 are respectively connected to the two ends of the hose 2 to achieve fixation and sealing of the hose 2 during the test.

[0067] Each clamping assembly 20 includes a clamping ring group, a driving mechanism and a pressurizing mechanism. The driving mechanism is connected to the clamping ring group in a transmission manner, and can achieve precise adjustment of the clamping ring group, thereby effectively clamping and sealing the hose 2. The pressurizing mechanism is arranged along the axial direction of the clamping ring group, and the pressurizing mechanism is used to seal the orifice of the hose 2 or pressurize the inside of the hose 2. The pressurizing mechanism can form an effective seal at the orifice of the hose 2. This design can not only prevent gas leakage when the inside of the hose 2 is pressurized, but also seal the orifice of the hose 2 when pressurization is not required, further enhancing the sealing effect. Specifically, either end of the hose 2 can extend into the clamping ring group. When the driving mechanism drives the clamping ring group to move along the direction of the pressurizing mechanism, the pressurizing mechanism will extend into the orifice of the hose 2 and be located in the clamping ring group. The clamping ring group can squeeze the hose 2 inward, and through close cooperation with the pressurizing mechanism, ensure that the hose 2 is uniformly clamped and sealed during the test process. This design solves the problem of leakage caused by uneven clamping force or incomplete sealing in the prior art. Through precise clamping force control and efficient sealing mechanism, the clamping ring assembly can squeeze the hose 2 inwardly, and can effectively clamp and seal hoses 2 of different specifications.

[0068] It should be understood that in actual applications, the existing solutions often cause leakage problems due to uneven clamping force or uneven sealing when the equipment clamps the hose 2. This unevenness is caused by the elasticity difference of the hose 2 material and the uneven force during the clamping process, which ultimately leads to poor sealing effect and affects the reliability of the airtightness test.

[0069] In the present application, either end of the hose 2 can be inserted into the clamping ring group, and the driving mechanism drives the clamping ring group to move in the direction of the boosting mechanism, so that the boosting mechanism extends into the orifice of the hose 2 and is located in the clamping ring group; the clamping ring group can squeeze the hose 2 inward to tightly clamp the hose 2 with the clamping ring group and the boosting mechanism. This ensures that both ends of the hose 2 can be subjected to uniform clamping force throughout the entire test process, effectively avoiding leakage problems caused by uneven clamping force. The sealing and boosting functions of the hose 2 are realized, which is suitable for a variety of test environments and has higher practicality.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 In one embodiment, the clamping ring assembly includes an annular member 211 and a knob cover 212, either end of the hose 2 can extend into the annular member 211, and a plurality of elastic clamps 2111 are provided at one end of the annular member 211 facing the knob cover 212, and each elastic clamp 2111 is evenly spaced along the circumference of the annular member 211; the knob cover 212 is sleeved on the annular member 211 and threadedly connected to the annular member 211; when the knob cover 212 rotates toward the direction of the annular member 211, the knob cover 212 squeezes each elastic clamp 2111 at the same time, so that each elastic clamp 2111 is simultaneously retracted inward and clamps the hose 2.

[0071] Specifically, either end of the hose 2 can extend into the annular member 211, and a plurality of elastic clamps 2111 are provided at one end of the annular member 211 facing the knob cover 212. Each elastic clamp 2111 is evenly spaced along the circumference of the annular member 211 to ensure that the hose 2 can be subjected to uniform clamping force at any position. The knob cover 212 is sleeved on the annular member 211 and is threadedly connected to the annular member 211. Such a design allows the knob cover 212 to drive the retraction and release of the elastic clamp 2111 by rotation. When the knob cover 212 rotates toward the direction of the annular member 211, the knob cover 212 will squeeze each elastic clamp 2111 at the same time, causing these elastic clamps 2111 to retract inward, thereby tightly clamping the outer wall of the hose 2.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the knob cover 212 is provided with a first inclined surface 2121 on the inner side along the circumferential direction, and each elastic clamping plate 2111 is provided with a second inclined surface 2112 matched with the first inclined surface 2121 on the outer surface along the circumferential direction, the end of the first inclined surface 2121 close to the ring member 211 is defined as a first inner diameter 2121a, and the end of the first inclined surface 2121 away from the ring member 211 is defined as a second inner diameter 2121b, and the first inner diameter 2121a gradually decreases toward the second inner diameter 2121b; when the knob cover 212 is threadedly connected to the ring member 211, the first inclined surface 2121 and the second inclined surface 2112 form a conical fit; when the knob cover 212 rotates toward the ring member 211, the first inner diameter 2121a gradually decreases toward the second inner diameter 2121b, and pressure is gradually applied to the second inclined surface 2112, so that each elastic clamping plate 2111 is simultaneously retracted toward the inside and evenly clamps the hose 2.

[0073] Specifically, the knob cover 212 is provided with a first inclined surface 2121 on the inner part along the circumferential direction, and each elastic clamping plate 2111 is provided with a second inclined surface 2112 matched with the first inclined surface 2121 on the outer surface along the circumferential direction. The first inclined surface 2121 defines a gradually changing inner diameter from an end close to the ring member 211 to an end away from the ring member 211, the end close to the ring member 211 is a first inner diameter 2121a, the end away from the ring member 211 is a second inner diameter 2121b, and the first inner diameter 2121a gradually decreases toward the second inner diameter 2121b.

[0074] When the knob cover 212 is installed on the ring member 211 through a threaded connection, the first inclined surface 2121 of the knob cover 212 forms a conical fit with the second inclined surface 2112 of the elastic clamp 2111. When the knob cover 212 rotates toward the direction of the ring member 211, since the first inner diameter 2121a gradually decreases toward the second inner diameter 2121b, the first inclined surface 2121 of the knob cover 212 will gradually apply pressure to the second inclined surface 2112 of the elastic clamp 2111, so that each elastic clamp 2111 is simultaneously retracted toward the inside, achieving the effect of uniformly clamping the hose 2. This synchronous retraction process ensures that the force of the entire clamping ring group is uniform, avoiding the problems of unstable clamping or incomplete sealing caused by uneven force distribution in traditional designs. In addition, it is also suitable for application scenarios where air tightness detection of hoses 2 of different diameters is required. The user only needs to adjust the rotation angle of the knob cover 212 to achieve accurate clamping and sealing of the hose 2.

[0075] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8In one embodiment, the knob cover 212 is provided with an annular internal thread 2122 along the circumferential direction, and the annular internal thread 2122 is adjacent to the first inclined surface 2121. The outer surface of the annular member 211 is provided with an annular external thread 2113 along the circumferential direction, and the annular external thread 2113 is adjacent to the second inclined surface 2112. The annular internal thread 2122 and the annular external thread 2113 are both arranged on a side close to the boosting mechanism. When the annular internal thread 2122 is threadedly connected with the annular external thread 2113, the first inclined surface 2121 and the second inclined surface 2112 form a conical fit.

[0076] Specifically, the annular internal thread 2122 is adjacent to the first inclined surface 2121, and the annular external thread 2113 is adjacent to the second inclined surface 2112. The annular internal thread 2122 and the annular external thread 2113 are both arranged on a side close to the boost mechanism. When the annular internal thread 2122 is threadedly connected with the annular external thread 2113, the first inclined surface 2121 and the second inclined surface 2112 form a conical fit. Through this matching structure, the first inclined surface 2121 and the second inclined surface 2112 can form a precise conical fit under the action of the threaded connection, so when the knob cover 212 rotates, the elastic clamping plate 2111 can be synchronously retracted to tightly clamp the outer wall of the hose 2, thereby achieving uniform clamping and sealing of the hose 2.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 8 In one embodiment, an annular groove 2114 is formed on the outer surface of the annular member 211 along the circumferential direction. When the annular inner thread 2122 is threadedly connected with the annular outer thread 2113, the knob cover 212 extends into the annular groove 2114, and the knob cover 212 and the annular member 211 are fitted on the inner wall of the annular groove 2114.

[0078] Specifically, an annular groove 2114 is provided on the outer surface of the ring member 211 along the circumferential direction. When the knob cover 212 is threadedly connected to the annular outer thread 2113 of the ring member 211 through the annular inner thread 2122, part of the structure of the knob cover 212 will extend into the annular groove 2114. The outer edge of the knob cover 212 is tightly fitted with the inner side wall of the annular groove 2114, thereby further enhancing the connection stability between the knob cover 212 and the ring member 211. The design of the annular groove 2114 plays a dual role. First, the annular groove 2114 provides a guiding and limiting function. When the knob cover 212 rotates and is threadedly connected to the ring member 211, the knob cover 212 partially extends into the annular groove 2114, so that the knob cover 212 can maintain higher stability during the rotation process, and prevent tilting or unevenness during the rotation process. Secondly, the existence of the annular groove 2114 enables the knob cover 212 to fit tightly with the inner side wall of the ring member 211 during the rotation process, forming an additional sealing area. This sealing area not only enhances the overall sealing effect, but also prevents the entry of outside air or impurities, thereby improving the accuracy of airtightness testing.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 In one embodiment, the boost mechanism includes a conical nozzle 231, a connecting pipe 232 and an air valve 233. One end of the conical nozzle 231 is a conical first diameter 231a, and the other end is a conical second diameter 231b. The conical second diameter 231b gradually decreases toward the conical first diameter 231a. The conical first diameter 231a faces the annular member 211. The conical nozzle 231 and the annular member 211 have the same central axis. The conical nozzle 231 can be inserted into the orifice of the hose 2 and is located in the annular member 211. The conical nozzle 231 is provided with an air inlet 2311 along the central axis direction; one end of the connecting pipe 232 is connected to the conical second diameter 231a. 231b is connected so that the interior of the connecting pipe 232 is connected to the air inlet 2311, and the other end is connected to the pump body (not marked in the figure). The pump body can drive the gas to enter the hose 2 through the connecting pipe 232 and the conical nozzle 231 in sequence to increase the pressure on the inside of the hose 2; the air valve 233 is arranged on the connecting pipe 232, and the air valve 233 can drive the connecting pipe 232 to close to seal the orifice of the hose 2; when the driving mechanism drives the clamping ring group to move along the direction of the conical nozzle 231, one end of the conical first diameter 231a of the conical nozzle 231 extends into the orifice of the hose 2, and the orifice of the hose 2 is opened by the elasticity of the hose 2 itself.

[0080] Specifically, one end of the conical nozzle 231 is a conical first diameter 231a, and the other end is a conical second diameter 231b, and the conical second diameter 231b gradually decreases toward the conical first diameter 231a. The conical first diameter 231a faces the annular member 211, and the conical nozzle 231 and the annular member 211 share the same central axis. The conical nozzle 231 is provided with an air inlet 2311 along the central axis, and one end of the connecting pipe 232 is connected to the conical second diameter 231b, so that the inside of the connecting pipe 232 is connected to the air inlet 2311, and the other end is connected to the pump body. The pump body enters the inside of the hose 2 through the connecting pipe 232 and the conical nozzle 231 by driving gas to realize the pressurization operation of the inside of the hose 2. The air valve 233 is arranged on the connecting pipe 232, which can control the opening and closing of the connecting pipe 232, so as to seal the orifice of the hose 2 when necessary.

[0081] When the driving mechanism drives the clamping ring assembly to move in the direction of the conical mouth 231, one end of the conical first diameter 231a of the conical mouth 231 will extend into the orifice of the hose 2, and the orifice will be stretched open by the elasticity of the hose 2 itself. When the conical mouth 231 extends into the orifice of the hose 2, the conical mouth 231 can fully stretch the orifice of the hose 2 by using the pressure brought by the diameter gradually increasing from the conical first diameter 231a to the conical second diameter 231b (when the knob cover 212 cannot continue to extend into the annular groove 2114, that is, when the knob cover 212 cannot continue to rotate toward the direction of the ring member 211, it means that the conical mouth 231 has pushed the hose 2 to the limit position, that is, the elastic clamping plate 2111 of the conical mouth 231 and the ring member 211 has tightly locked the orifice of the hose 2). Such a design ensures that a tight seal is formed between the hose 2 and the conical mouth 231 to prevent gas leakage.

[0082] The design of the air inlet 2311 and the connecting pipe 232 ensures the smooth progress of the pressurization process. The pump body supplies air to the conical nozzle 231 through the connecting pipe 232, and the gas enters the inside of the hose 2 through the air inlet 2311, thereby realizing the pressurization operation inside the hose 2. The setting of the air valve 233 provides precise control of the air flow, so that the orifice of the hose 2 can be sealed when necessary to maintain the stability and sealing of the test environment.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the multifunctional test fixture 1 of the airtightness detection equipment further includes a fixed base 30, which is disposed in the sealed chamber 10. The driving mechanism includes a fixed frame 221, a transmission mechanism (not marked in the figure), a first screw rod 223 and a second screw rod 224. The fixed frame 221 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 30; the transmission mechanism is disposed on the fixed frame 221; the first screw rod 223 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 221 and is disposed along the axial direction of the annular member 211, and the transmission mechanism is transmission-connected to the first screw rod 223; the second screw rod 224 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 221. , and is arranged along the axial direction of the ring member 211, and the transmission mechanism is connected to the second screw rod 224 in transmission connection; the ring member 211 is provided with a sliding frame 2115 along the radial direction, and the sliding frame 2115 is provided with a first thread hole 2115a and a second thread hole 2115b along the axial direction of the ring member 211, the first screw rod 223 is threadedly connected to the first thread hole 2115a, and the second screw rod 224 is threadedly connected to the second thread hole 2115b, and the transmission mechanism can simultaneously drive the first thread hole 2115a and the second thread hole 2115b to rotate, so as to drive the clamping ring group to move toward or away from the direction of the boosting mechanism.

[0084] Specifically, the first screw rod 223 is threadedly connected to the first thread hole 2115a, and the second screw rod 224 is threadedly connected to the second thread hole 2115b. The transmission mechanism can simultaneously drive the first thread hole 2115a and the second thread hole 2115b to rotate, so as to drive the clamping ring assembly to move toward or away from the booster mechanism. This synchronous drive mechanism ensures the stability and accuracy of the clamping ring assembly during movement, and avoids the problem of tilting or uneven force of the sliding frame 2115 that may occur in the traditional structure.

[0085] Either end of the hose 2 is inserted into the clamping ring assembly, and the clamping ring assembly moves toward the direction of the booster mechanism, and the internal structure of the clamping ring assembly (such as the elastic clamping plate 2111) begins to act on the outer wall of the hose 2. The knob cover 212 is rotated toward the direction of the ring member 211, and each elastic clamping plate 2111 is gradually retracted to firmly fix the hose 2 around the tapered mouth 231 of the booster mechanism. At the same time, the tapered mouth 231 of the booster mechanism is gradually inserted into the orifice of the hose 2, and the orifice is opened by the elasticity of the hose 2 itself to form a seal.

[0086] The knob cover 212 is rotated away from the annular member 211, and the clamping ring assembly moves away from the booster mechanism. At this time, each elastic clamp 2111 is gradually relaxed, reducing the pressure on the outer wall of the hose 2, so that the orifice of the hose 2 is separated from the conical mouth 231 of the booster mechanism.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the sliding frame 2115 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 221 , and the conical nozzle 231 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 221 .

[0088] Specifically, the sliding frame 2115 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 221, so that the sliding frame 2115 can move on the fixed frame 221, and this movement is controlled by the aforementioned driving mechanism. The sliding connection is a linear guide rail to ensure that the movement of the sliding frame 2115 is stable and controlled.

[0089] The conical nozzle 231 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 221, ensuring the fixity of the pressurization mechanism during operation. Since the conical nozzle 231 is directly involved in the pressurization and sealing operation of the hose 2, the accuracy and stability of its position are very important. By fixing the conical nozzle 231 on the fixing frame 221, it is ensured that its position will not change during the test, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the airtightness test.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 3 and Fig. 9In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes a worm drive 2221, a turbine 2222, a first gear 2223 and a second gear 2224. The worm drive 2221 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 221; the turbine 2222 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 221 and meshes with the worm drive 2221; the first gear 2223 is fixedly connected to the turbine 2222, and the first gear 2223 and the turbine 2222 are on the same central axis; the second gear 2224 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 221, and the second gear 2224 is rotatably connected to the first gear 2223 and the second gear 2224 is meshed with the first gear 2223. 223 is engaged, the diameter of the second gear 2224 is larger than the diameter of the first gear 2223, the second gear 2224 is provided with a first connecting hole in the axial direction thereof, and the first screw rod 223 is connected to the first connecting hole; the first screw rod 223 is transmission-connected with the second screw rod 224; the worm drive 2221 drives the second gear 2224 to rotate through the transmission connection, so as to drive the first screw rod 223 and the second screw rod 224 to rotate synchronously; the worm drive 2221 and the turbine 2222 are engaged to prevent the sliding frame 2115 from moving under the action of external force.

[0091] Specifically, the worm drive 2221 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 221 and is connected to the turbine 2222 by meshing. The turbine 2222 is fixedly connected to the first gear 2223, and the two share the same central axis. The second gear 2224 is also rotatably connected to the fixed frame 221 and meshes with the first gear 2223. The diameter of the second gear 2224 is larger than that of the first gear 2223, and is used for transmission ratio adjustment and torque increase. The first screw rod 223 is connected to the second gear 2224 through the first connecting hole in the second gear 2224, and the first screw rod 223 is connected to the second screw rod 224 through a transmission structure. The worm drive 2221 drives the turbine 2222, the first gear 2223 and the second gear 2224 to rotate, and finally drives the first screw rod 223 and the second screw rod 224 to rotate synchronously, so as to realize the precise movement of the sliding frame 2115. In short, when the worm drive 2221 drives the turbine 2222 to rotate, the turbine 2222 rotates synchronously through the first gear 2223 and the second gear 2224, thereby driving the first screw rod 223 and the second screw rod 224 to rotate, so that the sliding frame 2115 moves precisely along the set direction on the fixed frame 221.

[0092] The worm drive 2221 and the turbine 2222 are meshed to prevent the sliding frame 2115 from moving under the action of external force. The meshing between the worm and the turbine 2222 can not only transmit power, but also has a self-locking function, which means that when there is no external force, the turbine 2222 and the sliding frame 2115 connected thereto will not move by themselves. This design prevents the sliding frame 2115 from accidentally moving under the influence of external force, thereby improving the safety and stability of operation.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment, a first rotating shaft 2231 is provided on the circumference of the first screw rod 223, and a second rotating shaft 2241 is provided on the circumference of the second screw rod 224. The first rotating shaft 2231 and the second rotating shaft 2241 are arranged along the same vertical direction. The transmission mechanism also includes a synchronous belt 2225, one end of the synchronous belt 2225 surrounds the first rotating shaft 2231, and the other end surrounds the second rotating shaft 2241; when the first screw rod 223 rotates, the first rotating shaft 2231 drives the synchronous belt 2225 to rotate, so as to rotate the first screw rod 223 and the second screw rod 224 synchronously.

[0094] Specifically, in order to realize the synchronous rotation of the two screw rods, the transmission mechanism further includes a synchronous belt 2225. One end of the synchronous belt 2225 is wound around the first rotating shaft 2231, and the other end is wound around the second rotating shaft 2241. Through the transmission of the synchronous belt 2225, the rotational motion of the first screw rod 223 can be accurately transmitted to the second screw rod 224, so as to realize the synchronous rotation of the two. When the first screw rod 223 rotates, the first rotating shaft 2231 drives the synchronous belt 2225 to rotate, so as to rotate the first screw rod 223 and the second screw rod 224 synchronously.
