For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more than two, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 A fuel tank air tightness test device includes a plurality of mounting plates 1, a test bench 2, an air intake pipe 3, a transfer mechanism 4, a first conveyor belt 5 and a second conveyor belt 6.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the first conveyor belt 5 is laid in the factory, and the oil tanks are placed on several mounting plates 1 respectively, and are transferred to one side of the transfer mechanism 4 through the first conveyor belt 5. The transfer mechanism 4 transfers the mounting plate 1 with the oil tank to the work station 21.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, a limiting groove 1a is provided on the top of the mounting plate 1. When the oil tank is placed in the limiting groove 1a, its side wall abuts against the limiting groove 1a.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transfer mechanism 4 includes a frame 41, a rotating arm 42, a driving member and a clamp 44; the clamp 44 includes a rotating frame 441 and a plurality of clamping parts. In this embodiment, the clamping parts are preferably two; the clamping part further includes a cylinder 442, a partition 443, a first telescopic rod 446, a slider 447, two springs 445 and two clamping claws 444;

[0040] The frame 41 is arranged between the first conveyor belt 5 and the test bench 2, one end of the rotating arm 42 is rotatably connected to the frame 41, and the other end is provided with a connecting frame 43, the connecting frame 43 has a groove, and the rotating frame 441 is rotatably arranged in the groove; the driving member is a rotating cylinder 45, the rotating cylinder 45 is arranged on one side of the frame 41, and its piston end passes through the frame 41 and is connected to the rotating arm 42; two cylinders 442 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom of the rotating frame 441, and a partition 443 is arranged in the cylinder 442 to separate the cylinder 442 into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, and the lower chamber passes through the cylinder 442 downward; the slider 447 is slidably arranged in the lower chamber, and two clamps 444 are rotatably arranged on the slider 447, and the two ends of the two springs 445 are respectively connected to the clamps 444 and the slider 447; the partition 443 is provided with a wedge-shaped hole 443a, and the first telescopic rod 446 is arranged in the upper chamber, and its piston end passes through the wedge-shaped hole 443a and is connected to the slider 447;

[0043] More specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the test bench 2 has a cavity 2a, the second conveyor belt 6 passes through the cavity 2a, and the workstation 21 includes a load-bearing plate 211 and a second telescopic rod 212; the test bench 2 is provided with an opening connected to the cavity 2a, and the load-bearing plate 211 is rotatably arranged at the opening; one end of the second telescopic rod 212 is rotatably connected to the test bench 2, and the other end is rotatably connected to the load-bearing plate 211; when the test is completed, the second telescopic rod 212 drives the load-bearing plate 211 to rotate downward, and under the action of gravity, the mounting plate 1 slides downward onto the second conveyor belt 6, and the mounting plate 1 and the oil tank are transferred to the next process.

[0044] The working principle of this embodiment is:

[0045] The oil tank air tightness test device of the utility model places the oil tank on the mounting plate 1, the fixture 44 clamps the mounting plate 1, the driving member drives the rotating arm 42 to rotate, and the mounting plate 1 is transferred to the station 21 of the test bench 2, the air intake pipe 3 is connected to the inlet of the oil tank, and the oil tank is observed for air leakage.
