The top of the iron block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable. Magnetrons for magnetically fixing the iron block after it slides are fixedly arranged at both ends of the semi-circular arc groove of the workbench.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, through the setting of structures such as the semi-circular arc groove in the positioning structure, the turntable can only rotate half a circle, so that the rotated end cover body can be exactly located directly below the pressure-holding cover for positioning.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of threaded rods are fixedly arranged at the bottom edge of the workbench. A support sleeve rod is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the threaded rod. A cleaning part that cooperates with and abuts against the inner wall of the support sleeve rod is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the support sleeve rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can rotate the support sleeve rod to make the support sleeve rod move on one side of the threaded rod, so as to adjust the overall height of the workbench and the test press, and can meet the use requirements of people with different heights.

[0016] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] 1. The telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder can drive the pressure-holding cover to rise and fall.

Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0026] The following will further elaborate on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-6 drawings.

[0027] An embodiment of the present application discloses a casting end cover testing press.

[0028] A casting end cover testing press, referring to Figures 1-3 , includes a workbench 1, two groups of end cover bodies 2, a loading mechanism and a pressure testing mechanism. The workbench 1 can support components such as the loading mechanism. The loading mechanism can support and limit the end cover bodies 2, and the end cover bodies 2 are existing cast end covers.

[0029] Referring toFigures 1-3 , the bearing mechanism includes a turntable 3 rotatably arranged on the top of the workbench 1 and two groups of sealed positioning seats 31 fixedly arranged on the tops of both ends of the turntable 3. The two groups of end covers 2 are respectively movably arranged on the outer walls of the two groups of sealed positioning seats 31 that are adapted to each other. The turntable 3 can support and limit the end covers 2 through the sealed positioning seats 31, and the sealed positioning seats 31 can limit and position the end covers 2 that are adapted to each other on the top.

[0030] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a rotating rod 32 is rotatably connected inside the workbench 1. The top end of the rotating rod 32 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the turntable 3. The rotating rod 32 can connect the workbench 1 and the turntable 3, facilitating the rotation of the turntable 3 on the top of the workbench 1.

[0031] Refer to Figures 1-2 , the pressure testing mechanism includes a plurality of hydraulic cylinders 4 installed on the top of the workbench 1 and a pressure maintaining cover 41 fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinders 4 for pressure testing the end covers 2 that are adapted to each other at the bottom. A top frame 11 is fixedly arranged at the edge of the top of the workbench 1. The plurality of hydraulic cylinders 4 are fixedly installed on the inner top of the top frame 11. The top frame 11 can connect the workbench 1 and the hydraulic cylinders 4. After the hydraulic cylinders 4 expand and contract, they will drive the pressure maintaining cover 41 to move up and down.

[0032] Refer to Figures 1-2 , a plurality of high-pressure air pipe holes 42 for introducing high-pressure gas into the end covers 2 to detect the airtightness are opened in the pressure maintaining cover 41. The pressure maintaining cover 41 can be connected to the external high-pressure air pipe through the high-pressure air pipe holes 42. The lowered pressure maintaining cover 41 can cooperate with the sealed positioning seats 31 at the bottom to conduct pressure testing and detection on the end covers 2. The high-pressure air pipe holes 42 can introduce high-pressure gas into the end covers 2. By observing whether there are air leakage points and air leakage sounds, it can be judged whether there are air leakage holes or micro-cracks on the end covers 2, so as to detect the airtightness of the end covers 2.

[0033] Refer to Figures 1-2 , a correction mechanism for limiting the position of the pressure maintaining cover 41 after it is pressed down is arranged on one side of the workbench 1. The correction mechanism includes a correction plate 5 fixedly arranged on one side of the top of the workbench 1 and a plurality of correction openings 51 opened on the top of the correction plate 5 for accommodating and limiting the pressure maintaining cover 41 after it is pressed down. The correction openings 51 of the correction plate 5 can cooperate with the protruding parts of the pressure maintaining cover 41, thereby limiting the position of the pressure maintaining cover 41 after it is pressed down and ensuring the matching of the pressure maintaining cover 41 with the upper openings of the end covers 2.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5, a positioning mechanism is provided between the workbench 1 and the turntable 3. The positioning mechanism includes a semi-circular arc groove 33 opened at the top of the workbench 1 and an iron block 34 slidably arranged in the semi-circular arc groove 33 of the workbench 1. The top of the iron block 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 3. The iron block 34 can further connect the workbench 1 and the turntable 3, and the semi-circular arc groove 33 can limit the rotation range of the turntable 3, so that the turntable 3 can only rotate half a circle. After rotating half a circle, the end cover body 2 on the top of the turntable 3 can be exactly located directly below the pressure maintaining cover 41 for positioning, which is convenient for operation.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , magnetic iron stones 35 for magnetically fixing the slid iron block 34 are fixedly arranged at both ends of the semi-circular arc groove 33 of the workbench 1. The magnetic iron stones 35 can magnetically attract the iron block 34 to fix the rotated turntable 3 and the end cover body 2, improving the stability of the turntable 3 and the end cover body 2 during the pressure test detection.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , a plurality of threaded rods 6 are fixedly arranged at the bottom edge of the workbench 1. The outer wall of the bottom end of the threaded rod 6 is threadedly connected with a support sleeve rod 61. The threaded rod 6 and the support sleeve rod 61 can support components such as the workbench 1. The staff can rotate the support sleeve rod 61 to make the support sleeve rod 61 move on one side of the threaded rod 61, thereby adjusting the overall height of the workbench 1 and the pressure testing machine, which can meet the use requirements of people with different heights.

[0037] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , a cleaning part 62 that is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the support sleeve rod 61 and is fitted and abutted against the inner wall of the support sleeve rod 61 is provided. The cleaning part 62 can be an object with a cleaning effect such as a cleaning sponge. When the support sleeve rod 61 rotates, the cleaning part 62 can partially clean the inside of the support sleeve rod 61, reducing the cleaning intensity of the inside of the support sleeve rod 6 for the staff in the later stage.

[0038] The implementation principle of an end cover casting pressure testing machine in an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0039] During use, the staff can place the end cover body 2 on a matching sealing and positioning seat 31, and then rotate the turntable 3. At this time, the semi-circular arc groove 33 can limit the rotation range of the turntable 3, so that the turntable 3 can only rotate half a circle. After rotating half a circle, the end cover body 2 on the top of the turntable 3 can be exactly located directly below the pressure maintaining cover 41 for positioning;

[0040] Next, control the telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder 4 to drive the pressure-holding cover 41 to move up and down. After the pressure-holding cover 41 descends, it can cooperate with the sealing and positioning seat 31 at the bottom to conduct a pressure test on the end cover body 2. At the same time, the high-pressure air pipe hole 42 will introduce high-pressure gas into the end cover body 2, so as to determine whether there are air leakage holes or micro-cracks on the end cover body 2, and to detect the sealing performance of the end cover body 2;

[0041] After the detection, rotate the turntable 3 in the reverse direction to rotate another set of end cover bodies 2 on the turntable 3 below the pressure-holding cover 41, and the detected end cover bodies 2 of this group can rotate away from the pressure-holding cover 41, which is convenient for the staff to remove the detected end cover bodies 2 and then place new end cover bodies 2 to improve the detection efficiency;

[0042] When it is necessary to adjust the height of the testing press, the staff can rotate the support sleeve rod 61 to move the support sleeve rod 61 on one side of the threaded rod 61 to adjust the overall height of the testing press, which can meet the usage requirements of people with different heights. After the support sleeve rod 61 rotates, the fixed cleaning part 62 can partially clean the inside of the rotated and moved support sleeve rod 61, reducing the cleaning intensity of the staff on the support sleeve rod 6 in the later stage.

[0043] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application, and the protection scope of this application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
