[0039] Working principle:

[0040] The half-axle of the drive axle mainly connects the differential with the drive wheel and works inside the drive axle, and the inside of the drive axle is filled with gear oil, so the sealing performance of the axle housing shaft head 15 where the half-axle is inserted needs to be tested.

[0041] The principle of this device is: when the hexagonal nut 9 is screwed, the stepped screw 10 receives the power of the hexagonal nut 9 and moves downward, driving the wedge block 6 to move partially downward, and the wedge block 6 contacts the rubber plug 7 to tighten it and expand it. After the rubber plug 7 expands, it contacts the tube wall of the bridge housing shaft head 15, and uses friction and the sealing performance of rubber to achieve tightening and sealing.

[0042] When the transmission part is working, the base 8 contacts the pipe hole of the axle housing shaft head 15 and remains stationary. Turn the hexagonal nut 9, which converts the rotation through the thread into the horizontal movement of the stepped screw 10 to the left. Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0043] The working of the sealing and fixing part is as follows: when the device is working, the rubber plug 7 is squeezed downward by the wedge block 6 and pressed upward by the base 8. Under the action of both the wedge block 6 and the base 8, the rubber plug 7 is deformed by force and expands to the surroundings. After expansion, it contacts the pipe wall. Under the action of continuous deformation and friction, the rubber plug 7 fills the pipe to achieve sealing and fixation.

[0044] The wedge block 6 mainly receives the downward power transmitted by the stepped screw 10 to continue moving downward, compressing the rubber plug 7 and preventing liquid from penetrating from the wedge block 6.
