A tightening bolt 2 is threadedly installed at the center of the fixing plate 1, the top end of the tightening bolt 2 is in contact with the center of the bottom surface of the support plate 3, the support plate 3 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom surface of the gasket cover 4, a gasket body 5 is installed on the top surface of the gasket cover 4, a screw 6 is installed at the center of the gasket body 5, a first track window 7 is opened at the end of the gasket cover 4, a movable plate 8 is installed in the first track window 7, one side of the movable plate 8 is rotatably installed with a side threaded rod 9 through a bearing seat, the side threaded rod 9 penetrates through the end of the gasket cover 4, the center of the movable plate 8 is penetrated and installed with an adjusting sleeve 10 through a bearing seat, the center of the adjusting sleeve 10 is penetrated and installed with a tensioning threaded rod 11, one end of the tensioning threaded rod 11 penetrates through the second track window 12, the second track window 12 is opened at the end of the fixing plate 1, a locking nut 13 is installed at one end of the tensioning threaded rod 11, a tensioning block 18 is fixedly installed at the other end of the tensioning threaded rod 11, the tensioning threaded rod 11 penetrates through the positioning hole 14, the positioning hole 14 is opened at the center of the mounting plate 15, an adjusting threaded rod 16 is threadedly installed through the end of the mounting plate 15, and the end of the adjusting threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected to one side of the pressing plate 17 through a bearing seat.

[0021] In this example, both the first track window 7 and the movable plate 8 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the gasket cover 4, and the movable plate 8 is slidably connected to the first track window 7. The above structural design enables the movable plate 8 to slide along the first track window 7 to adjust the use spacing.

[0022] The side view section of the movable plate 8 is "I"-shaped, the center of the movable plate 8 and the center of the side threaded rod 9 are on the same vertical plane, and the side threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to the hole opened on the side wall of the first track window 7 at the end of the gasket cover 4. The above structural design enables the movable plate 8 not to separate from the gasket cover 4, and when the side threaded rod 9 rotates and moves in the hole opened on the side wall of the first track window 7, it can drive the movable plate 8 to move stably horizontally.

[0023] The front view section of the adjusting sleeve 10 is "丄"-shaped, and the adjusting sleeve 10 is threadedly connected to the tensioning threaded rod 11. The above structural design enables the adjusting sleeve 10 to be conveniently operated and uses the threaded connection relationship to stably drive and lock the tensioning threaded rod 11.

[0024] The locking nuts 13 are symmetrically distributed above and below the center of the second track window 12. The second track window 12 is slidingly connected to the tensioning threaded rod 11. The above structural design enables the tensioning threaded rod 11 to slide horizontally along the second track window 12, and the bottom end of the tensioning threaded rod 11 is conveniently locked with the fixing plate 1 through the locking nut 13.

[0025] The adjusting threaded rod 16 is symmetrically distributed about the center of the extrusion plate 17. The center of the extrusion plate 17 and the center of the positioning hole 14 are on the same vertical plane. The positioning hole 14 is slidingly connected to the tensioning threaded rod 11. The above structural design enables the mounting plate 15 to slide along the tensioning threaded rod 11 with the positioning hole 14 to adjust the working position. The adjusting threaded rod 16 can also adjust the horizontal working position of the extrusion plate 17 by screwing in.

[0026] Working principle: When using this device, first Figure 2 The symmetrically distributed locking nuts 13 are rotated away from the upper and lower surfaces of the end of the fixed plate 1, and the side threaded rods 9 are screwed outward from the holes opened on the side walls of the first track window 7. Under the action of the end bearing seat, the side threaded rods 9 drive the movable plate 8, the adjusting sleeve 10 and the tightening threaded rods 11 to slide along the first track window 7 away from the center of the sealing gasket cover 4 until the spacing between the symmetrically distributed tightening threaded rods 11 and the tightening block 18 is appropriate;

[0027] Then fit the end of the electric drive axle housing to the surface of the sealing gasket body 5, fit the tensioning block 18 to the protruding portion of the outer wall of the electric drive axle housing, screw the side threaded rod 9 into the hole opened on the side wall of the first track window 7, and slide the movable plate 8, the adjusting sleeve 10 and the tensioning threaded rod 11 along the first track window 7 close to the center of the sealing gasket cover 4 until the tensioning block 18 fits a larger area of ​​the protruding portion of the outer wall of the electric drive axle housing;

[0028] The adjusting threaded rods 16 are rotated symmetrically and screwed into the mounting plate 15 to push the extrusion plate 17 into contact with the outer wall of the electric drive axle housing. When the adjusting threaded rods 16 are stopped, the horizontal positions of the adjusting threaded rods 16 and the extrusion plate 17 are fixed by thread self-locking.

[0029] Then, the symmetrically distributed adjusting sleeve 10 is rotated, and the adjusting sleeve 10 drives the tightening threaded rod 11 to move upward with the movable plate 8 and the sealing gasket cover 4 close to the tightening block 18. Under the blocking effect of the extrusion plate 17 and the outer wall of the electric drive axle housing, the tightening threaded rod 11 cannot rotate, and the sealing gasket body 5 squeezes the end opening of the electric drive axle housing and makes the tightening block 18 fit more tightly with the protruding part of the outer wall of the electric drive axle housing. Stop rotating the adjusting sleeve 10, screw up the tightening bolt 2 and squeeze it tightly with the support plate 3, and the symmetrically distributed locking nut 13 squeezes the upper and lower end faces of the fixing plate 1 to further lock the tightening threaded rod 11 to ensure the stability of the overall installation of the tooling. This is the working principle of the shaft end sealing tooling for air tightness detection of the electric drive axle housing.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
