[0037] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0038] Example

[0039] As described in the background technology, for the sealing test of multiple gas paths of the actuator, during the assembly process, it is necessary to perform sealing tests on each single gas path of the actuator one by one. Figure 1 As shown, the actuator has two gas paths to be tested, the first gas path 7 and the second gas path 8, and they need to be tested one by one. This requires that when testing one of them, the other needs to be blocked. That is to say, when testing the sealing of the second gas path 8, the test gas must not pass through the first gas path 7 to prevent the two gas paths from mixing with each other. The first gas path 7 needs to be blocked. Obviously, the existing testing tooling cannot meet the above requirements.

[0040] In order to solve the above problems, the present embodiment provides a multi-gas circuit sealing detection tool for an actuator. The use of this detection tool can meet the requirements of performing sealing inspection on each single gas circuit of the actuator one by one after the actuator is assembled with the cylinder and other seals, thereby increasing the sealing performance inspection during the assembly process, that is, the early inspection of the sealing of multiple gas circuits of the actuator, which greatly reduces the return of assembly products due to gas circuit sealing problems and reduces the return rate of finished products.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the actuator multi-gas path sealing detection tool provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

[0042] The straight connector 1, the plug 2, the first O-ring 4, the second O-ring 5, the first air hole 9 and the second air hole 10 have the following specific structures and assembly relationships:

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a plug 2 is provided, and the plug 2 is preferably made of stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance; in the axial direction of the plug 2, two sealing ring grooves are opened according to the size of the pneumatic piston dynamic sealing groove, namely the first groove 11 and the second groove 12; the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 are correspondingly installed with the first O-ring 4 and the second O-ring 5; the bottom end of the plug 2 adopts a step structure, and the step structure is integrally composed of two large and small cylinders of different diameters, and the small cylinder is located at the bottom of the plug 2. The step structure is designed to better adapt to the inner cavity of the actuator, and its inner cavity is a step hole structure; the plug 2 is passed through the step hole where the two air paths converge, and the two O-rings act on the upper and lower walls of the step hole to form an axial seal, so as to seal and block the first air path 7 and the second air path 8 on the upper and lower sides of the step hole.

[0044] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a thin central hole (i.e., airway) is arranged inside the plug 2, and two small air holes (a first air hole 9 and a second air hole 10) are arranged below the side of the plug 2 to communicate with the airway. At this time, the two air holes are just in the cavity blocked by the two O-rings. The upper part of the plug 2 is provided with a thread, on which a straight-through connector 1 of an air pipe is installed, which is used for inflating and exhausting when testing the airtightness of the airway.

[0045] Here, the reason for using two air holes is to increase the speed of inflation and exhaust. Since the diameter of the air holes is small, in order to improve the detection efficiency, two air holes, a first air hole 9 and a second air hole 10, are opened.

[0046] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, in order to prevent the plug 2 from being installed in the step hole of the actuator due to excessive air pressure, which causes the plug 2 to fall out, a step structure composed of two large and small cylinders of different diameters is provided on the outer wall of the plug 2, and a plug pressure plate 3 is provided to act on the outer wall of the plug 2 (specifically, the top end face of the large cylinder), and the plug pressure plate 3 (the first plug pressure plate 31 and the second plug pressure plate 32) is fixed to the actuator by screws 6 (preferably hexagon socket head screws), thereby limiting the position of the plug 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the removal of the plug 2 from the step hole where the two airways converge after testing the sealing of the tested air path, two step surfaces 13 are opened on the plug 2 to facilitate the operator to find the force application point and remove the plug 2.

[0048] The working principle of the multi-gas-path sealing detection tool for an actuator provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the second air path 8 is tested this time. When in use, the actuator multi-air path sealing detection tooling is placed on the actuator, and multiple plugs 2 are inserted into the step holes where all the air paths to be tested converge. Then, the plug pressing plate 3 is applied to the step surfaces of the outer walls of all the plugs 2, and the plug pressing plate 3 is fixed to the actuator by screws 6. At this time, the second air path 8 is connected with the first air hole 9 and the second air hole 10 of the plug 2, and the first air path 7 is isolated and blocked by the plug 2; the air pipe of the external air-tight equipment is directly connected to the straight-through connector 1 of the air pipe on the plug 2, the air-tight equipment is started, the air-tight detection program is run, and the air paths to be tested are sealed in turn.

[0050] In summary, the utility model provides a multi-gas-path sealing detection tool for an actuator, which has the following advantages over the existing detection tool:

[0051] This testing tool adopts a plug, and an air channel is provided inside the plug, and the air channel is communicated with a straight-through joint connected to the plug; the end of the plug adopts a step structure composed of two large and small cylinders of different diameters, which is adapted to the step inner cavity of the actuator, and sealing rings are sleeved on the two cylinders, and at least one air hole connected to the air channel is provided on the bottom end face of the large cylinder. When performing a sealing test, the outer walls of the two cylinders form axial seals with the inner cavity of the actuator respectively, and the bottom end face of the large cylinder forms an air cavity with the inner cavity of the actuator, and the air cavity is communicated with the air path to be tested of the actuator to be tested; the air path to be blocked is isolated by the axial seal, and the air hole is used to realize the inflation test of the air path to be tested, which can meet the sealing inspection of each single air path of the actuator one by one, increase the sealing performance test during the assembly process, and can detect the sealing of multiple air paths of the actuator in advance, which can effectively prevent the leakage of a single air path or the phenomenon of cross-gas in multiple air paths, greatly reduce the return of assembly products due to air path sealing problems, and reduce the return rate of finished products.

[0052] The above embodiment is only one of the implementation methods that can realize the technical solution of the utility model. The scope of protection required by the utility model is not limited only to this embodiment, but also includes within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, any changes, replacements and other implementation methods that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field.
