[0002] A bulldozer is a piece of machinery used for excavating and leveling the ground, and is widely used in construction and maintenance work in areas such as buildings, roads, and mines. The underframe of a bulldozer is a crucial component supporting the entire machine, and its material and structure have a significant impact on its performance and safety.
[0003] Bulldozer underframe castings are critical components of large bulldozer chassis. Because hydraulic oil is added to these components during use, leakage often occurs. Due to their unique nature, leaks must be completely dismantled, the oil removed, and then filled with water for repair. This requires significant manpower and resources, significantly impacting production. Research has shown that the primary cause of these leaks is defects in the castings, which are difficult to detect using existing detection methods. Subsequent welding and assembly of these products followed by the addition of hydraulic oil can lead to leakage in these defective areas. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model proposes an airtight tooling for a bulldozer underframe casting, which solves the problem that the bulldozer underframe casting in the related art often leaks during use. Once leakage occurs, due to its particularity, the underframe must be completely dismantled, the oil must be poured out, and the underframe must be filled with water for repair. This requires a large amount of manpower and material resources, which has a huge impact on production. The main cause of the leakage is defects on the casting, which are not easy to be detected by existing means. Subsequently, after these products are welded, assembled and hydraulic oil is added, leakage occurs at these defective parts.

[0025] The following will be combined with 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.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes:
[0028] Bulldozer underframe casting airtightness tooling, including:
[0029] The lower baffle 1 has connecting columns 2 fixed at the four corners of the top wall of the lower baffle 1, and positioning blocks 3 are symmetrically fixed on the top wall of the lower baffle 1;
[0030] The upper baffle 4 is installed above the lower baffle 1. The top ends of the connecting columns 2 slide through the upper baffle 4. The top ends of the connecting columns 2 are screwed with nuts 5. Two connecting pipes 6 are symmetrically fixed to the top wall of the upper baffle 4. A pressure gauge 7 is installed on one side of the connecting pipe 6, and the connecting pipe 6 on the other side is connected to the output end of the external air compressor 9 through the air guide pipe 8. A groove 10 is opened on the bottom wall of the upper baffle 4, and a sealing gasket 11 is fixed in the groove 10.
[0031] Air guide holes 13 are symmetrically formed on the top wall of the groove 10 , and the air guide holes 13 are connected to the corresponding connecting pipes 6 .
[0032] The connecting pipe 6 and the upper baffle 4 are integrally cast.
[0033] The length of the lower baffle 1 and the upper baffle 4 is 847 mm, the width is 407 mm, and the thickness is 30 mm.
[0034] The top wall of the positioning block 3 is arc-shaped, and a rubber pad is fixed to the top wall of the positioning block 3 .
[0035] In this embodiment, the positioning block 3 provided on the lower baffle 1 is used to place the bulldozer underframe casting, which can ensure that the bulldozer underframe casting is placed in the middle position of the lower baffle 1. Since the bottom of the bulldozer underframe casting is curved, the top of the positioning block 3 is arranged in an arc shape. The rubber pad provided can prevent the bottom of the bulldozer underframe casting from being worn when the upper baffle 4 moves downward to clamp the bulldozer underframe casting. The upper baffle 4 is used to cooperate with the lower baffle 1 to clamp and fix the bulldozer underframe casting. The top of the bulldozer underframe casting is sealed by the provided nut 5 in conjunction with the connecting column 2. When fixing the upper baffle 4, the nut 5 is clamped evenly. The two obliquely corresponding nuts 5 are first screwed a distance, and then the other two obliquely corresponding nuts 5 are screwed. The two sets of nuts 5 are tightened alternately to ensure that the upper baffle 4 can be stably fitted on the top of the bulldozer underframe casting. The groove 10 provided at the bottom of the upper baffle 4 corresponds to the position of the channel at the top of the bulldozer chassis casting. During the installation of the upper baffle 4, the sealing gasket 11 provided inside the groove 10 can fit tightly against the top of the bulldozer chassis casting, preventing the upper baffle 4 from being directly installed on the top rough surface of the bulldozer chassis casting, which may cause a poor seal and affect the test results. The pressure gauge 7 provided is used to detect the internal pressure changes of the bulldozer chassis casting, thereby judging the air tightness of the bulldozer chassis casting. The pressure gauge 7 is screwed to the connecting pipe 6, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the pressure gauge 7 when it is damaged. At the same time, a sealing ring is fixed at the connection position between the pressure gauge 7 and the connecting pipe 6 to ensure the sealing of the connection position. The air compressor 9 provided is used to compress external air and introduce the compressed air into the bulldozer chassis casting, which facilitates the air tightness detection of the bulldozer chassis casting in conjunction with the pressure gauge 7.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, based on the same concept as the above embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes:
[0038] The connecting column 2 includes a column 21 made of round steel, a threaded end 22 is provided on the top of the column 21, and the nut 5 is screwed on the threaded end 22. A gasket 14 is installed between the nut 5 and the top wall of the upper baffle 4, and the gasket 14 is slidably sleeved on the column 21.
[0039] The diameter of the connecting column 2 is 40 mm, and the length of the connecting column 2 is 755 mm.
[0040] The upper baffle 4 is provided with mounting holes 12 at four corners, and the top of the connecting column 2 is slidably mounted in the mounting holes 12 .
[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting column 2 is used to cooperate with the nut 5 to adjust the position of the upper baffle 4, thereby completing the blocking of the top of the bulldozer chassis casting. The washer 14 can achieve the purpose of preventing loosening after tightening the nut 5.
[0042] Working principle:
[0043] When using the present invention, the bulldozer underframe casting to be inspected is first placed between the two positioning blocks 3 and roughly adjusted so that the top channel is located below the bottom groove 10 of the upper baffle 4. The upper baffle 4 is then installed between the connecting posts 2, which are passed through the corresponding mounting holes 12. After installing the washers 14 on the connecting posts 2, the nuts 5 are screwed on. When tightening the nuts 5, the two obliquely corresponding nuts 5 are first turned a distance, and then the other two obliquely corresponding nuts 5 are turned, alternating between the two sets of nuts 5 to ensure that the upper baffle 4 can be stably attached to the top of the bulldozer underframe casting. After completing the installation of the upper baffle 4, the air compressor 9 is started and air is introduced into the bulldozer underframe casting through the air compressor 9 to maintain the air pressure within the bulldozer underframe casting at 0.2 MPa. The air pressure is observed for 2 minutes, and the airtightness of the bulldozer underframe casting is determined using the pressure gauge 7.
[0044] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
