When it is not tightly attached, the air pressure fluctuates, and the gap between the fitting surfaces is detected by the fluctuation value. The rear end of the reference part 4 is connected to the movable part 10, and the movable part 10 is movably connected to the pull rod, and an elastic part 11 is provided between the two. A plurality of guide pillars 12 are provided on the movable part 10, and a plurality of stepped holes 13 adapted to the guide pillars 12 are provided on the reference part 4. The guide pillars 12 pass through the stepped holes 13 on the reference part 4, and a limiting part 14 is provided at the front end of the guide pillars 12. The limiting part 14 forms an axial limiting fit with the stepped holes 13, wherein, when the pull rod is pulled backward, the movable part 10 is driven to drive the reference part 4 to move backward, and the spring clamp 5 is squeezed by the inclined part 15 of the tooling cylinder 3, forcing the pressure block 6 to retract radially, and compressing the sealing ring 7 to fit the workpiece.
[0019] The micron-level gap is quantified by the air pressure fluctuation value, with a sensitivity far exceeding mechanical measurement, achieving high-precision detection. At the same time, the tooling tilting part 15 and the spring clamp 5 are designed to automatically adapt to workpieces of different diameters. The elastic part 11 and the guide column 12 limit structure design avoid overpressure damage to the workpiece and ensure parallelism.
[0020] The inner wall of the front end of the tooling cylinder 3 is provided with an inclined portion 15, and the shape of the front end of the spring clamp 5 is adapted to the inclined portion 15. There are three equally divided holes 9, which are evenly distributed circumferentially on the reference part 4 and are used to connect the air pressure detection device to determine the gap between the workpiece fitting surfaces. There are three guide pillars 12, and the elastic member 11 inside them provides axial thrust when the workpieces are docked to ensure the parallelism of the workpieces. The limiting portion 14 is a boss at the front end of the guide pillar 12, and its diameter is larger than the small aperture section of the stepped hole 13. The elastic member 11 is a compression spring, which provides axial thrust when the workpieces are docked to ensure that the reference planes of the workpieces are in parallel contact with the reference plane. The movable part 10 is detachably connected to the pull rod through a locking sleeve. The axis of the equally divided holes 9 of the reference part 4 is perpendicular to the reference plane.
[0021] The tooling combines mechanical linkage with air pressure detection to achieve air tightness detection and flexible docking of workpieces. The specific process is as follows: 1. The driving unit pulls the pull rod, the movable part 10 moves backward and drives the reference part 4 to move backward; 2. When the reference part 4 moves backward, the spring clamp 5 is squeezed by the inclined portion 15 of the inner wall of the tooling cylinder 3, and the multiple pressure blocks 6 are radially retracted to compress the sealing ring 7 to fit the outer wall of the workpiece, forming a seal; 3. The front end of the reference part 4 is provided with a workpiece reference surface and a T-shaped equally divided hole 9, and is connected to an air pressure detection device. When the workpieces are fitted, the air pressure at the opening of the equally divided hole 9 closed by the reference surface is stable and the gap is qualified. When the workpieces are not fitted, gas leaks and the air pressure fluctuates, and the gap size is quantified by the fluctuation value. 4. The elastic member 11 provides axial thrust to ensure parallel contact of the workpiece reference surface, and its guide column 12 + stepped hole 13 limit: the limiting part 14 (boss) at the front end of the guide column 12 cooperates with the stepped hole 13 to limit the axial displacement range, while allowing fine-tuning to compensate for the workpiece position deviation.

Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope of the appended claims.
[0023] Although more terms are used in this article, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present invention; interpreting them as any additional limitations is contrary to the spirit of the present invention.
