[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] See also Figures 1 to 6The present invention provides a test bench for processing pneumatic actuators, comprising a table 1 and a rotating disk 8 rotatably connected to the top of the table 1. The rotating disk 8 is connected to a motor 15 for driving the rotating disk 8 to rotate. The motor 15 can drive the rotating disk 8 to rotate, thereby rotating multiple actuator bodies 7, so that the actuator bodies 7 wait for airtightness testing in sequence. There is no need to manually adjust the position of the actuator bodies 7, which saves time and effort and is highly efficient. In addition, a plurality of placement slots 9 are provided on the top of the rotating disk 8. The placement slots 9 can initially limit the position of the actuator bodies 7. In combination with the use of a pressure plate 21, the actuator bodies 7 can be positioned and fixed, so that the air inlet 6 and the inflation head 5 are precisely aligned. The placement slot 9 is connected to a positioning mechanism for positioning the actuator body 7. The positioning mechanism includes a pressure plate 21, a connecting column 22, a spring 23, and a wedge block 24. Both ends of the connecting column 22 are connected to the pressure plate 21 and the wedge block 24. The spring 23 is used to drive the pressure plate 21 to move in the direction close to the wedge block 24. When the pressure plate 10 presses on the wedge block 24, the pressure plate 10 and the inclined surface of the wedge block 24 slide relative to each other, which can drive the wedge block 24 forward, and synchronously drive the connecting column 22 and the pressure plate 21 forward until the pressure plate 21 stops moving when it is pressed tightly against the actuator body 7. At this time, the spring 23 is in an elongated state; when the actuator body 7 needs to be loosened, the pressure plate 10 is separated from the wedge block 24, and the elongated spring 23 drives the pressure plate 21 to return, so that the pressure plate 21 is separated from the actuator body 7, thereby quickly loosening the actuator body 7 and facilitating unloading operations. The table top 1 is connected to an air supply mechanism, which includes an inflation head 5, a cylinder 13, a lifting rod 14, and an air pump 3. The exhaust end of the air pump 3 is connected to the inflation head 5. The cylinder 13 is used to drive the lifting rod 14 and the inflation head 5 to rise and fall synchronously. The lifting rod 14 is connected to a pressure plate 10 for driving the pressure plate 21 forward.
[0024] The cylinder 13 can simultaneously drive the lifting rod 14 and the inflation head 5 to rise and fall. The lifting rod 14 drives the movement of the connecting plate 11 and the pressure plate 10. During testing, the inflation head 5 moves downward, and the pressure plate 10 also moves downward synchronously. The pressure plate 10 presses on the wedge block 24, which can drive the movement of the wedge block 24, and in turn, the movement of the pressure plate 21. When the pressure plate 21 is pressed against the actuator body 7, the actuator body 7 can be positioned and fixed. The pressure plate 10 presses against the bottom of the groove 19 to fix the rotating disk 8 and prevent it from loosening and rotating. Furthermore, the inflation head 5 is pressed against the air inlet 6, facilitating the airtightness test of the pneumatic actuator.
[0025] The positioning mechanism also includes a rubber pad 20, which is connected to the side of the pressure plate 21. The pressure plate 21 is slidably connected to the placement groove 9, which can improve the stability of the reciprocating movement of the pressure plate 21, and the rubber pad 20 can prevent the pressure plate 21 from causing wear on the surface of the actuator body 7.
[0026] The spring 23 is sleeved on the connecting column 22 , and both ends of the spring 23 are connected to the pressing plate 21 and the rotating disk 8 .
[0027] The air supply mechanism also includes an air hose 4, an annular groove 16, a sealing ring 17, and a connecting port 18. The exhaust end of the air pump 3 is connected to one end of the air hose 4, and the other end of the air hose 4 is connected to the inflation head 5. The annular groove 16 and the connecting port 18 are provided on the inflation head 5, and the sealing ring 17 is connected to the annular groove 16. When the inflation head 5 is docked with the air inlet 6, the connecting port 18 is pressed tightly against the inner side of the air inlet 6. Combined with the use of the sealing ring 17, a double sealing effect is achieved, preventing leakage during the inflation process and facilitating inspection operations.
[0028] The connection port 18 is provided with a sealing surface, which matches the inner side surface of the air inlet 6 , and the cross section of the sealing surface is inclined.
[0029] The top of the table top 1 is connected to a U-shaped frame 2 , and the air pump 3 and the air cylinder 13 are connected to the top of the U-shaped frame 2 . The U-shaped frame 2 provides good support for the air pump 3 and the air cylinder 13 .
[0030] The power output end of the cylinder 13 is connected to the lifting rod 14 , and the inflation head 5 is fixed to the end of the lifting rod 14 .
[0031] The lifting rod 14 is connected to a connecting plate 11, the end of the connecting plate 11 is connected to the pressure plate 10, and the connecting plate 11 is connected to a guide rod 12, which runs through the U-shaped frame 2. During the lifting process of the connecting plate 11, the guide rod 12 can be driven to move synchronously, so that the inflation head 5 and the pressure plate 10 can move stably, thereby achieving a good guiding purpose.
[0032] A groove 19 is provided at the top center of the rotating disk 8, and a friction surface 25 is provided at the bottom of the groove 19. The wedge block 24 is located in the groove 19. The friction surface 25 can increase the contact friction with the bottom of the pressure plate 10 to prevent the rotating disk 8 from rotating loose.
[0033] Working principle: Place multiple actuator bodies 7 in the corresponding placement slots 9 to achieve preliminary positioning. The motor 15 drives the rotating disk 8 to rotate a certain angle so that the air inlet 6 is in a suitable position. Then the cylinder 13 drives the lifting rod 14, the inflation head 5, the connecting plate 11, and the pressure plate 10 to move downward synchronously. The pressure plate 10 presses on the wedge block 24, which can drive the wedge block 24, the connecting column 22, and the pressure plate 21 to move forward synchronously. The spring 23 is gradually stretched until the pressure plate 21 is pressed against the actuator body 7, which can lock the actuator body 7 and improve its stability. The pressure plate 10 is pressed against the bottom of the placement slot 9 to prevent the rotating disk 8 from loosening and rotating. At this time, the motor 15 is in a stopped state. Furthermore, the inflation head 5 is pressed against the air inlet 6. In combination with the use of the air pump 3 and the air hose 4, it is convenient to perform inspection operations on the actuator body 7. When the inspection of the actuator body 7 is completed, the cylinder 13 drives the lifting rod 14, the inflation head 5, the connecting plate 11, and the pressure plate 10 to move upward synchronously, so that the pressure plate 10 is separated from the wedge block 24, and the stretched spring 23 drives the pressure plate 21 to return to its original position, thereby loosening the actuator body 7, and the inflation head 5 is synchronously separated from the air inlet 6. The motor 15 drives the rotating disk 8 to rotate again, and the airtightness inspection operation is performed on the next actuator body 7. The operation saves time and effort and is highly efficient.
