Description
Technical field:
[0002] The utility model relates to an airtight and lettering composite tooling for a connecting pipe of an exhaust system of a commercial vehicle. Background technology:
[0004] The connecting pipe of the exhaust system of commercial vehicles needs to be tested for its air tightness. Products that pass the air tightness test will be marked or labeled, and unqualified products will not be marked or labeled. The air tightness testing and marking or labeling of the products require two processes, which need to be performed by two sets of tooling and two operators, thereby increasing the production cost and production cycle. In addition, the workpiece needs to be transferred and stored during the air tightness testing and marking or labeling processes, which also adds intermediate steps, resulting in low production efficiency and high production costs.
[0005] In addition, since the two end ports of the tubular workpiece need to be sealed during air tightness testing, the air tightness components at both ends were not installed properly in the past, making replacement more troublesome.

[0028] The workpiece support seat 2 is provided with an annular O-ring 3 and two diagonally arranged first locating pins 4 and a second locating pin 5. A negative pressure hole 6 is provided in the annular area of the O-ring 3. The negative pressure hole 6 is connected to a negative pressure pipeline 7 and a negative pressure pump 8. A negative pressure detector 9 (which is an existing commercially available component and is not described here) is connected in series to the negative pressure pipeline 7. A plurality of cylinders for pressing and fixing the workpiece are provided on the base 1. The first locating pin 4, the second locating pin 5, the O-ring 3 and the negative pressure hole 6 are arranged on the rectangular top plate 202.

Each cylinder can be directly pressed on the surface of the workpiece at the output end, but it is more reasonable to achieve the pressing through the following mechanism to facilitate the removal and placement of the workpiece.
[0031] A support column 15 is fixedly provided on the cylinder body of each cylinder (the support column is a square column with a U-shaped groove at its upper end, or the support column is a square column with connecting plates installed on both sides of its upper part to form a U shape, and the U-shaped groove or the U-shape is designed to accommodate the middle part of the pressing arm 16). The upper end of the support column is hinged to the middle position of the pressing arm 16, and the tail of the pressing arm is hinged to the free end of the telescopic rod 17 of the cylinder (the cylinder is vertically arranged, and the telescopic rod 17 is telescoped upward). The front part of the pressing arm is used to press on the surface of the workpiece K. When the telescopic rod of the cylinder rises, the tail part of the pressing arm 16 rises, and the front part of the pressing arm 16 descends and is pressed on the surface of the workpiece K.
[0032] In order to achieve sealing, a rubber pressure block 18 is provided on the front part of the pressure arm connected to the fourth cylinder.

The upper end of the rubber pressing block is provided with a sink groove 25 for embedding the spherical head. The compression spring 19 is sleeved on the stepped shaft. Due to the cooperation between the spherical head 24 and the sink groove 25, as well as the compression spring 19, the rubber pressing block can have a certain swing, so that the pipe mouth of the workpiece can be better used. A bolt 26 that can be threadedly connected to the spherical head is passed through the center of the rubber pressing block from bottom to top.
