[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application proposes an air inspection mechanism for a water pump housing, comprising a supporting plate 1, and a clamping device 2, a sealing device 3, a positioning device 4 and a coding device 5 respectively arranged on the supporting plate 1, the supporting plate 1 is provided with a fixing hole for placing the water pump housing, the clamping device 2, the sealing device 3, the positioning device 4 and the coding device 5 are respectively arranged around the circumference of the fixing hole, the clamping device 2 is provided with a first airtight channel 6, the sealing device 3 is provided with a second airtight channel 7, the first airtight channel 6 and the second airtight channel 7 are used to connect the inside of the water pump housing and the airtight instrument.
[0025] The present application discloses an air inspection mechanism for a water pump housing, wherein the water pump housing is placed on the fixing hole on the support plate 1, and the pressing device 2 presses and fixes the water pump housing. After the positioning device 4 presses and judges the positioning simultaneously, the sealing device 3 blocks and seals a plurality of holes on the water pump housing, and an airtightness meter passes gas through the first airtight channel 6 and the second airtight channel 7 to judge the airtightness of the water pump housing. If the airtightness requirement is met, the coding device 5 codes and confirms it. The airtightness detection of the water pump housing can be achieved without visual judgment by the operator, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of misjudgment problems and enabling the product to meet high-precision requirements; further, the steps of manual participation are reduced, the labor intensity of the staff is effectively reduced, and the production efficiency is further improved.
[0026] The positioning device 4 includes a third push cylinder and a positioning plug, and the third push cylinder drives the positioning plug to move toward the positioning hole of the water pump housing and position it, which has a simple structure and reduces the cost of initial investment and subsequent maintenance.

The first airtight channel 6 and the plurality of the first gas detection modules 31 form a first gas detection group, and at least two of the second gas detection modules 32, the third gas detection module 33 and the second airtight channel 7 form a second gas detection group. The water pump housing is generally provided with two cavities, namely a suction chamber and a discharge chamber. The pressing device 2 and the positioning device 4 are After the first gas inspection modules 31 in the first gas inspection group seal the holes in one of the cavities, and gas is passed into the first gas-tight channel 6 for ventilation detection. Then, at least two of the second gas inspection modules 32 and the third gas inspection module 33 in the second gas inspection group seal the holes in the other cavity, and gas is passed into the second gas-tight channel 7 for ventilation detection.

The quick installation of the imitation sealing block 28 is realized by the cooperation of the clamping groove 292 and the convex edge 293, and different types of water pump housings can be quickly replaced when inspecting, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0031] Among them, the first clamping module 21 can be selected as a cylinder, and the difference between the second clamping module 22 and the third clamping module 23 is that the contoured sealing block on the second clamping module 22 is fixed in a conventional fixing manner.
