The air pump 10 is arranged above the supporting plate 26, the main air pipe 24 is arranged on the output end of the air pump 10, the first branch air pipe 11 and the second branch air pipe 12 are both arranged on the end of the main air pipe 24 away from the air pump 10, the pressure gauge 34 is arranged on the first branch air pipe 11 and the second branch air pipe 12, the end of the first branch air pipe 11 away from the main air pipe 24 is connected to the side pipe 23, and the end of the second branch air pipe 12 away from the main air pipe 24 extends into the sealed box 1. The water supply assembly includes a fixing seat 13, a water tank 14, a water inlet 15 and a water outlet pipe 16. The fixing seat 13 is arranged above the sealed box 1, the water tank 14 is arranged on the fixing seat 13, the water inlet 15 is arranged above the water tank 14, the water outlet pipe 16 is arranged on one side of the water tank 14, and the water tank 14 is connected to the inside of the sealed box 1 through the water outlet pipe 16.

A flow sensor 27 is provided on the water outlet pipe 16, and a solenoid valve 38 is provided on the water outlet pipe 16 and the water outlet faucet 19. A holder 31 is provided below one end of the side pipe 23 adjacent to the rubber plug 30, and a clamp 32 is provided above the holder 31. The clamp 32 cooperates with the holder 31 to stabilize the rubber plug 30 on the side pipe 23.First, remove the glass window 17 on the front side of the sealing box 1, place the watch case 7 to be tested on the supporting seat 3, and place the side tubes 23 on both sides of the watch case 7 on the clamping platform 4. Then, screw in the tightening screws 5 with a tool, and then cover the clamping platform 4 with the ferrule 6. This design can just fix the object to be tested. Then insert the glass window 17 into the concave layer 25 from the opening 29, and then close the solenoid valves 38 of each water outlet pipe 16, plug one end of the side tube 23 with a rubber plug 30, and also plug the exhaust port 22 with a rubber plug 30. In addition, the sealing layer 28 plays a reinforcing sealing role on both sides of the side tube 23 extending out of the sealing box 1. The cooperation of the card holder 31 and the clamp 32 fixes the rubber plug 30 firmly on the side tube 23, so that the object to be tested also forms a sealing structure with one end connected to the air pump 10. Start the air pump 10, open the second branch air pipe 12, close the first branch air pipe 11, extend the second branch air pipe 12 into the sealing box 1, observe the changes in the pressure gauge 34, and use it to detect the sealing effect in the sealing box 1. When there is a leak somewhere, it can be sealed with sealant. When it is detected that the pressure rises to a certain amount and tends to be stable, open the exhaust port 22, release the gas, and then use the rubber plug 30 to block the exhaust port 22, and let water pass through the water inlet 15. After entering the water tank 14, open the solenoid valve 38 to let the water in the water tank 14 flow into the sealed box 1. When the water covers the object to be tested, start the air pump 10, close the second branch air pipe 12, open the first branch air pipe 11, and fill the gas into the object to be tested. Gradually fill it to form a certain pressure, detect whether there is bubbling in the object to be tested or observe the state of the object to be tested when the pressure gauge 34 is unstable. In addition, the state of the object to be tested can be observed in real time through the industrial camera 21, and the temperature sensor 20 can observe the temperature in the sealed box 1 in real time. The influence of water temperature on the object to be tested under different conditions can be accurately observed by adjusting the heating component and the cooling component. The testing process can be observed not only through the glass window 17 but also on the controller 33 through the industrial camera 21. After the test is completed, the solenoid valve 38 is opened to discharge the water in the sealed box 1 into the sewage tank 18 through the outlet pipe 16. When the next test is performed, the water tap 19 can be opened to store the water in the water tank 14 using tools, so as to realize the recycling of water flow and save resources. After the water is completely discharged, the rubber plug 30 of the exhaust port 22 is opened to allow the water vapor in the sealed box 1 to be discharged automatically, and the glass window 17 is pulled out. At this time, the front side of the sealed box 1 is in an open state, and the object to be tested can be removed from the clamping assembly and the object to be tested can be taken out.
[0029] By clamping the components to prevent loosening during testing, the airtightness of the sealing box 1 is first tested, and then water is injected to pressurize the case 7 to eliminate interference from leakage of the equipment itself, resulting in more accurate results. The water after the test is discharged into the sewage tank 18 and can be reused, which greatly reduces waste, is environmentally friendly and saves costs. The industrial camera 21 + temperature sensor 20 observes the status of the case 7 and the water temperature in real time. The refrigeration component and the heating component simulate different environments to improve the comprehensiveness of the test. The detachable glass window 17 facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the case 7. The solenoid valve 38 and the controller 33 realize automatic control to reduce the risk of manual intervention.
[0030] To better perform pressure testing and temperature regulation on the DUT, a refrigeration assembly and a heating assembly are provided. The refrigeration assembly comprises a refrigeration coil 35, a refrigeration switch 8, and a compressor 9. The refrigeration coil 35 is located below the baseplate 2, the refrigeration switch 8 is located in front of the refrigeration coil 35, and the compressor 9 is located outside the sealed box 1. The refrigeration coil 35, compressor 9, and refrigeration switch 8 are electrically connected. When the refrigeration switch 8 is activated, the compressor 9 begins operating, driving the refrigerant circulation. The compressor 9 compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. The high-temperature refrigerant enters the refrigeration coil 35 below the baseplate 2, where it dissipates heat and condenses into a high-pressure liquid. After throttling through the expansion valve, the liquid refrigerant evaporates within the coil, absorbing heat and rapidly cooling the baseplate 2. The refrigeration coil 35 directly cools the baseplate 2, while metal heat conduction reduces the water temperature within the sealed box 1, simulating a low-temperature environment. A temperature sensor monitors the water temperature in real time and provides feedback to the controller 33 to adjust the operation of the compressor 9, achieving precise temperature control. In conjunction with the heating assembly, the temperature can be quickly switched between operating modes. The heating assembly includes a heating rod 37 and a heating switch 39. The heating rod 37 is arranged inside the inner cavity 36 and is provided in multiple numbers. The heating switch 39 is arranged below the inner cavity 36 and is electrically connected to the heating rod 37. By activating the heating switch 39, the heating rod 37 can be turned on, and then the heat is transferred to the sealed box 1 through heat conduction inside the inner cavity 36 to heat the water temperature and simulate the effect of water temperature on the case 7 in a high temperature environment. This water meter case 7 pressure test fixture achieves high-precision pressure test through a sealed structure and a segmented test process, combined with pressurization and temperature control. It adopts a closed-loop water circulation design and an intelligent monitoring system, which significantly improves water resource utilization while ensuring test accuracy. The overall structure improves test efficiency by more than 60% through rapid clamping, visual observation and automated control, while meeting environmental protection, energy saving and safe production requirements.
