Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of axle housing detection, in particular to an airtightness testing tool for a forklift axle housing. Background Art
[0002] The axle housing is the base upon which the final drive, differential, axles, and wheels are mounted. Its primary function is to support and protect these components. Generally speaking, the axle housing of a conventional non-disconnecting drive axle is a rigid hollow beam supported by the left and right drive wheels. The final drive, differential, axles, and other transmission components are housed within it. The axle housing is connected to the vehicle frame or carriage via longitudinal leaf springs. As a crucial component of the drive axle and a key element of the running system, forklift axle housings typically undergo airtightness testing during repair, processing, or production.
[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent with the announcement number CN218847533U discloses a bridge housing air tightness detection device, including a frame, a placement platform is provided in the middle of the frame, shaft tube support frames are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the placement platform, and shaft tube blocking mechanisms are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the two shaft tube support frames. An air inlet is provided in the middle of the placement platform, an air inlet pipe is plugged into the lower part of the air inlet, and the other end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the air source through a valve. An annular sealing ring is fixedly connected to the placement platform outside the air inlet, and three installation grooves are provided in the shape of a right triangle on the inner side of the annular sealing ring and near the annular sealing ring on the placement platform, and the bridge housing clamping mechanism is installed in each of the installation grooves.
[0004] The bridge housing air tightness detection device in the above-mentioned prior art introduces air into the bridge housing through an air source and uses soapy water to spray to detect whether there is air leakage at the weld. Although the bridge housing can also be tested, this traditional testing method has poor coverage of the spray gap, which easily leads to some tiny gaps that cannot be effectively discovered and detected. Therefore, the detection effect is still not objective and comprehensive enough. Utility Model Content

The dovetail block 16 at the lower end of the clamping block 504 slides in the dovetail groove adapted on the support 501, which can ensure the stability of the horizontal movement of the clamping block 504.
[0028] refer to Figure 4 The shape of the bracket 401 is L-shaped, and a sliding groove 14 is symmetrically opened on the outside of the bracket 401. One end of the lifting plate 404 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 14. A limiting sleeve 15 is fixedly installed on the outside of the bracket 401, and the end of the air guide tube 406 away from the sealing cover 405 movably passes through the limiting sleeve 15. By sliding the lifting plate 404 at the sliding groove 14 on the bracket 401, the stability of the vertical sliding of the lifting plate 404 can be guaranteed. The limiting sleeve 15 on the bracket 401 can be used to conveniently limit the air guide tube 406.
[0029] refer to Figure 4 The outer side of the mounting plate 201 is symmetrically fixed with a mounting block 11, and the mounting plate 201 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the first screw 203 through the mounting block 11. The inner side of the water tank 1 is symmetrically provided with an assembly groove 9, and the inner side of the assembly groove 9 is fixedly installed with a slide bar 10. The outer side of the mounting plate 201 is fixedly installed with a slider 13, and the slider 13 is slidably connected to the outer side of the slide bar 10. The mounting block 11 on the mounting plate 201 can facilitate the threaded connection of the mounting plate 201 to the outer side of the first screw 203, and the slider 13 of the mounting plate 201 is used to slide on the slide bar 10 in the assembly groove 9, so that the mounting plate 201 can be moved vertically up and down.
[0030] refer to Figure 3 The shaft seat 12 is symmetrically fixed on the inner side of the transmission groove 206, and the shaft rod 207 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the shaft seat 12. By rotating the shaft rod 207 in the shaft seat 12 of the transmission groove 206, the stability of the shaft rod 207 can be further ensured, and to a certain extent, the stability of the engagement of the first bevel gear 208 and the second bevel gear 209 is also guaranteed, and it is not easy to cause tooth jumping and the like.
[0031] refer to Figure 1 The lower end of the water tank 1 is symmetrically fixed with a pillar 7, and the lower end of the pillar 7 is fixed with a lockable moving wheel 8. A push handle 6 is welded to the left end of the water tank 1. By installing the pillar 7 with the lockable moving wheel 8 at the lower end of the water tank 1 and cooperating with the push handle 6, the user can conveniently move the test water tank 1.
[0032] Principle and advantages of use: During use, first, the lockable shift wheel 8 is used in conjunction with the push handle 6 to facilitate the movement of the test water tank 1. When the bridge housing opening needs to be sealed, the motor 204 only needs to be controlled by the external control module, so that the output end of the motor 204 drives the shaft 207 to rotate in the transmission groove 206, and the second bevel gear 209 on the shaft 207 engages with the first bevel gear 208 to drive the first screw 203 connected to the first bevel gear 208 to rotate in the water tank 1. Since the two first screws 203 in the water tank 1 rotate synchronously, the mounting plate 201 with the outer thread connection can be lifted from the bottom of the water tank 1.
[0033] When sealing and fixing the main opening of the bridge housing, first place the bridge housing on the positioning frame 3, and then use the turntable 403 to rotate the second screw 402 to thread and retract on the bracket 401. At the same time, the lower end of the second screw 402 rotates to push the lifting plate 404 to slide, and the lower end of the lifting plate 404 is buckled at the opening of the main part of the bridge housing through the sealing cover 405, and is clamped in conjunction with the positioning frame 3. Then, operate the rotary block 502 to drive the third screw 503 to rotate on the support 501. At the same time, the clamping block 504 with the outer thread connected to one end of the third screw 503 slides toward the bridge housing shaft tube. When the sealing groove 505 on the clamping block 504 is tightly sealed against the shaft tubes at both ends of the bridge housing, the fixation is completed. Then, sink the mounting plate 201 into the water tank 1, and inject water into the water tank 1. Then, inject air into the inside of the bridge housing through the air guide pipe 406, and the test can be carried out in accordance with the water surface conditions of the water tank 1.
