[0002] In traditional processing enterprises, many workpieces need to be cleaned to meet the cleanliness requirements. Some workpieces need to be cleaned multiple times during the entire process to meet the requirements of different processes. A workpiece currently needs to be friction welded to form a sealed cooling water chamber; the workpiece needs to be cleaned once after processing to ensure the cleanliness requirements of the internal water chamber. Only after the cleaning is completed can the two cover plates be welded to the workpiece to form a sealed cooling water chamber. After the welding is completed, other parts of the workpiece are processed and cleaned. In order to prevent impurities such as cutting fluid and aluminum chips from entering the cooling water chamber, the inlet and outlet of the cooling water chamber need to be sealed.
[0003] The workpiece needs to enter the cleaning machine for cleaning. During the cleaning process, negative pressure needs to be drawn to remove water vapor. Ordinary rubber plugs can only solve the sealing of the water cavity under positive pressure or no pressure difference. Therefore, the existence of pressure difference will cause the rubber plug to fall off. When the workpiece enters the vacuum pool of the cleaning machine, the gas outside the workpiece is vacuumed, while the water cavity of the workpiece is still at atmospheric pressure. In this way, the pressure difference will blow out the rubber plug and the seal will fail. If you want to prevent the rubber plug from falling off, a sufficiently large interference fit is required, which will make the rubber plug difficult to assemble. Utility Model Content
[0004] To this end, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the problem in the prior art that the air pressure difference will blow out the rubber plug and cause the sealing failure, and then provide a cavity sealing tool, which not only improves the cavity sealing effect, but also avoids workpiece damage and improves assembly efficiency.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 As shown, a cavity sealing tool of the utility model comprises:
[0028] A rear end stopper 3, which is set as a cylindrical structure, and is coaxially provided with a groove 32 and a first through hole, and the first through hole is set in the groove 32;
[0029] The spindle screw 5 is provided with a limit pin 7 and a screw head. A through hole is provided in the radial direction of the spindle screw 5. The limit pin 7 is inserted in the through hole. The spindle screw 5 is provided with a sealing section 52 between the limit pin 7 and the screw head. The sealing section 52 passes through the first through hole and the limit pin 7 abuts against the groove 32. When the limit pin 7 abuts against the groove 32, the spindle screw 5 cannot move to one side of the workpiece. The spindle screw 5 is an M10 stainless steel screw to prevent rust.
[0030] The expansion member 2 is sleeved on the sealing section 52. When the screw head approaches the rear end stopper 3, the expansion member 2 is squeezed by the screw head and then expands and seals. The friction between the expansion ball and the cavity becomes larger, thereby sealing the cavity.
[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1As shown, it also includes a front end block 1 sleeved on the sealing section 52, the front end block 1 is provided with a first accommodating groove 12 and a second through hole, the second through hole is arranged at the bottom of the first accommodating groove 12, the sealing section 52 passes through the second through hole, and the screw head is located in the first accommodating groove 12 and abuts against the front end block 1, the screw head can block the front end block 1, and when the screw head approaches the rear end block 3, the screw head can also push the front end block 1 to squeeze the expansion ball.
[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the front end stopper 1 and the rear end stopper 3 are both made of rigid non-metallic materials, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, etc., which can effectively prevent the inner wall of the cavity and the surface of the workpiece from being scratched while ensuring that the expansion ball is fully squeezed.
[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the front end stopper 1 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 11, which facilitates the front end stopper 1 to be quickly inserted into the cavity.
[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the diameter of the rear end stopper 3 is greater than the diameter of the front end stopper 1, so that the front end stopper 1 can be inserted into the cavity and the rear end stopper 3 can fully rest on the workpiece.
[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 As shown, it also includes an O-ring 6, which is sleeved on the annular groove 51 of the sealing section 52.

The groove 32 is used to form a step surface 33 with a height difference at the bottom of the second accommodating groove 31. When the limit pin 7 leaves the groove 32 and rotates ninety degrees, it can abut on the step surface 33 to fix the tightness of the expansion ball. The groove 32 of the rear end block 3 can be made into different depths to form step surfaces 33 with different height differences, so as to flexibly adjust the tightness of the expansion ball.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 As shown, a mounting hole 34 is provided on the side wall of the rear end stopper 3 , and the mounting hole 34 is connected to the second receiving groove 31 . The mounting hole 34 is used to insert the limiting pin 7 into the through hole of the spindle screw 5 .
