Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A crankcase airtight detection device includes a bottom plate 1. Two symmetrically distributed support frames 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 1. A water tank 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the bottom plate 1. A transfer frame 4 is arranged between the two support frames 2. A lifting plate 5 is arranged outside the transfer frame 4. The lifting plate 5 is located above the water tank 3. It further includes:

[0026] A lifting assembly, which is located between the two support frames 2 and is connected to the lifting plate 5, is used to adjust the height of the lifting plate 5, and thus the crankcase located on the lifting plate 5 can be placed into the water tank 3.

[0027] A clamping assembly, which is located on the outer surface of the lifting plate 5, is used to fix the crankcase on the lifting plate 5. The staff smoothly places the crankcase to be detected at the top position of the lifting plate 5.

[0028] Furthermore, a connecting column 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transfer frame 4. The connecting column 16 is arranged in an L-shaped structure. The connecting column 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting plate 5. The arrangement of the connecting column 16 facilitates the lifting plate 5 to enter the water tank 3.

[0029] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a pushing cylinder 7, a connecting belt 8, a mounting frame 14, and a runner 15. The pushing cylinder 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the bottom plate 1. The output end of the pushing cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 14. The mounting frame 14 is arranged in a "U" shape. A runner 15 is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 14. The outer surface of the runner 15 is sleeved with the connecting belt 8. One end of the connecting belt 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 5, and the other end of the connecting belt 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 1. When the pushing cylinder 7 is started, the output end of the pushing cylinder 7 pushes the mounting frame 14 to move downward. Since the runner 15 is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 14 and the runner 15 is connected to the top of the lifting plate 5 through the connecting belt 8, when the mounting frame 14 descends, the connecting belt 8 will wind around the runner 15 and drive the lifting plate 5 and the crankcase thereon to descend together.

[0030] Furthermore, two rollers 6 are rotatably connected to the outer surfaces on both sides of the adapter bracket 4, and both of the two rollers 6 are in rolling connection with the outer surface of the support bracket 2. The rollers 6 are in rolling engagement with the outer surface of the support bracket 2, which helps the stable movement of the adapter bracket 4 and the lifting plate 5.

[0031] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a connecting block 9, a bidirectional threaded rod 10, clamping blocks 11 and a handle 13. Two connecting blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the front and rear outer surfaces of the lifting plate 5 respectively. A bidirectional threaded rod 10 is rotatably connected between the two connecting blocks 9 on the same side. Two symmetrically distributed clamping blocks 11 are threadedly sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two bidirectional threaded rods 10. The four clamping blocks 11 are all arranged in an L-shaped structure. Handles 13 are rotatably connected to the outer surfaces of the two connecting blocks 9 at the front and rear respectively. The two handles 13 are fixedly connected to the corresponding bidirectional threaded rods 10. Rotating the handle 13 will drive the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate, and the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 10 causes the two symmetrically distributed clamping blocks 11 to move towards each other along the thread direction.

[0032] Furthermore, two rectangular grooves 12 are formed in the top of the lifting plate 5. Two moving blocks 17 are slidably connected to the interiors of the two rectangular grooves 12. The four moving blocks 17 are fixedly connected to the corresponding clamping blocks 11. Since the clamping blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the moving blocks 17 and the moving blocks 17 slide in the rectangular grooves 12, the clamping blocks 11 can move stably and firmly clamp the crankcase on the lifting plate 5.

[0033] Furthermore, the bidirectional threaded rod 10 at the rear passes through the interior of the connecting column 16, which does not interfere with the operation of the bidirectional threaded rod 10 at the rear.

[0034] Working principle: When the staff needs to use this crankcase airtightness detection device, the staff places the crankcase to be detected steadily on the top of the lifting plate 5, and then rotates the handle 13. Since the handle 13 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 10, rotating the handle 13 will drive the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 10 causes two symmetrically distributed clamping blocks 11 to move towards each other along the thread direction. Since the clamping block 11 is fixedly connected to the moving block 17 and the moving block 17 slides in the rectangular groove 12, the clamping block 11 can move steadily and firmly clamp the crankcase on the lifting plate 5. After the crankcase is fixed by the clamping assembly, start the pushing cylinder 7. The output end of the pushing cylinder 7 pushes the mounting frame 14 downward. Since the runner 15 is fixed inside the mounting frame 14 and the runner 15 is connected to the top of the lifting plate 5 through the connecting belt 8, when the mounting frame 14 descends, the connecting belt 8 will wind around the runner 15 and drive the lifting plate 5 and the crankcase on it to descend together. The roller 6 rolls and engages with the outer surface of the support frame 2, which helps the transfer frame 4 and the lifting plate 5 to move smoothly. As the lifting plate 5 descends, the crankcase gradually immerses in the water tank 3 to prepare for the airtightness detection. After the crankcase immerses in the water tank 3, check whether there are bubbles generated in the water tank 3 to judge the airtightness of the crankcase. If the crankcase is well sealed, no bubbles will emerge; if bubbles are found, it indicates that there is a leak in the crankcase and further inspection and repair are needed. After the detection is completed, operate the pushing cylinder 7 in reverse to make the lifting plate 5 and the crankcase rise back to the original position, rotate the handle 13 in reverse to loosen the clamping block 11 from the crankcase, and then remove the crankcase from the lifting plate 5.

[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
