[0017] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0018] like Figures 1 to 3The bridge housing sealing leak test fixture shown includes a sealing cover 1, a screw 2, a coupling seat 6 and a claw 7. The upper part of the screw 2 passes through the upper part of the sealing cover 1. A bushing 4 is provided between the sealing cover 1 and the screw 2. The bushing 4 is fixed on the sealing cover 1. The sealing cover 1 is provided with a fork seat 11. The threaded portion 21 of the screw 2 is threadedly connected to the coupling seat 6. Rotating the screw 2 can make the coupling seat 6 move up and down. The coupling seat 6 is hinged to one end of the claw 7. The middle part of the claw 7 is hinged to the fork seat 11. The claw 7 moves up and down with the coupling seat 6, and the claw 7 rotates with the hinge point of the fork seat 11 as the center of the circle. The bushing 4 is fixed to the sealing cover 1 through the large nut 3. A gasket 31 is provided between the large nut 3 and the sealing cover 1. The large nut 3 is fixed to the sealing cover 1, and the bushing 4 is embedded in and fixed in the large nut 3. A bearing 5 is provided below the bushing 4. The screw 2 is inserted into the bearing 5. A snap ring 22 is provided in the middle of the screw 2. The snap ring 22 is clamped at the bottom of the bearing 5. The screw head of the screw 2 is clamped at the upper part of the bushing 4. The screw 2 can rotate in the bushing 4. A first sealing ring 41 is provided between the screw 2 and the bushing 4. A second sealing ring 42 is provided between the bushing 4 and the sealing cover 1. A sealing gasket 13 is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover 1. In this example, In the figure, the sealing cover 1 is provided with six fork seats 11, the coupling seat 6 is hinged with six claws 7, the middle parts of the six claws 7 are hinged with the six fork seats 11 respectively, the coupling seat 6 is provided with a first pin shaft 62, and a sliding hole 71 is opened at one end of the claw 7. The first pin shaft 62 and the sliding hole 71 are slidingly hinged. The fork seat 11 is provided with a second pin shaft 72, and the middle part of the claw 7 is hinged with the second pin shaft 72; the coupling seat 6 is fixed with a small nut 61, and the threaded portion 21 of the screw 2 is threadedly connected to the small nut 61; the end of the threaded portion of the screw 2 is provided with a block 23 to prevent the coupling seat 6 from falling off from the screw 2, and the sealing cover 1 is also provided with a handle 12.
[0019] When in use, the screw rod 2 is rotated forward, and the screw rod principle is used to move the coupling seat 6 upward. The upward-moving coupling seat 6 uses the lever principle to make the claws 7 rotate downward with the second pin shaft 72 as the center of the circle. The distance between the six claws 7 is reduced to less than the diameter of the main reducing surface of the middle section of the bridge housing 8. The claws 7 are placed into the inner cavity of the bridge housing 8, and then the screw rod 2 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the coupling seat 6 move downward and drive the claws 7 to rotate upward with the second pin shaft 72 as the center of the circle. The claws 7 are pressed against the upper wall of the inner cavity of the bridge housing 8, squeezing the sealing gasket 13 of the sealing cover 1 to complete the sealing of the bridge housing 8, inflating the middle section of the bridge housing 8, observing the pressure gauge, brushing the weld 81 with soapy water or testing the entire weld with water to observe whether bubbles appear in the weld 81; after the leak test is completed, the screw 2 is rotated forward, the coupling seat 6 rises, and the claws 7 are downward to loosen and remove the utility model.
