[0040] The utility model provides a device for detecting the sealing of the fuel system of an aircraft engine. When in use, the fuel nozzle is manually placed on the gas nozzle 6 on the rectangular shell 5, and the rectangular shell 5 with one end opening of the nozzle is tightly fitted. Then, the inverted T plate 3 and the first inverted U plate 4 are driven to move by the electric slide rail 2. When the first row of rectangular shells 5 are located directly below the lifting component 7, the lifting component 7 simultaneously drives multiple sealing detection mechanisms 8 to descend, so that the fuel nozzles on the first row of rectangular shells 5 can be sealed. Then, the valve on the high-temperature gas tank 9 is opened to allow high-pressure and high-temperature gas to enter the rectangular shell 5 from the hose, the delivery component 11 and the transition component 12, and then the rectangular shell 5 is opened. The gas in the rectangular shell 5 is then sprayed into the interior of the nozzle under test from the gas nozzle 6, so that the fuel nozzle can be sealed. After the test is completed, the solenoid valve 2 is opened to allow the gas in the rectangular shell 5 to be discharged from the exhaust pipe, and then the cooler 10 is started to cool the nozzle. After completion, the sealing detection mechanism 8 is driven to rise by the lifting component 7, and then the electric slide rail 2 continues to drive the inverted T plate 3 and the first inverted U plate 4 to move, and then the above steps are repeated, so that the fuel nozzles on the remaining rectangular shells 5 can be tested, and then multiple fuel nozzles can be tested at the same time, which effectively improves the detection efficiency and reduces the time-consuming detection process.

[0042] Specifically, the second electric telescopic rod 72 drives the connecting plate 73 to descend, so that the sealing detection mechanism 8 can seal the fuel nozzle.
[0043] Furthermore, the transition assembly 12 includes three hollow tubes 1201 arranged inside the first inverted U-plate 4, and the three hollow tubes 1201 are connected by the conveying assembly 11;
[0044] A plurality of branch pipes 1202 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the hollow tube 1201 , and the other ends of the branch pipes 1202 pass through a side wall of the first inverted U-plate 4 and are connected to the rectangular shell 5 .
[0045] Specifically, through the hollow tube 1201 and the branch tube 1202 , the gas can enter the rectangular shell 5 from the hose and the delivery assembly 11 , so that multiple fuel nozzles can be tested simultaneously.
[0046] Furthermore, the conveying assembly 11 includes two first connecting rods 1101 installed on both sides of the first inverted U-plate 4, and the high-temperature gas tank 9 and the cooler 10 are connected to the first connecting rods 1101 through hoses;

[0048] Specifically, when the gas enters the four-way joint 1102 through the first connecting rod 1101, the gas can be diverted through the four-way joint 1102, the second connecting rod 1103 and the elbow joint 1104, so that the gas can flow into multiple transition assemblies 12, and then detect multiple fuel nozzles respectively.
[0049] Furthermore, a solenoid valve 1 is fixedly installed on each of the multiple hollow tubes 1201.
[0050] Specifically, when the fuel nozzles on the first row of rectangular shells 5 are inspected, the solenoid valve 1 on the hollow tube 1201 corresponding to the first row of rectangular shells 5 is opened, so that the fuel nozzles can be inspected at the same time, and the fuel nozzles on the gas row can be prevented from being blown off due to the lack of downward pressure sealing by the lifting assembly 7 and the sealing detection mechanism 8.

While moving, the first electric telescopic rod 13 drives the fixed frame 14 to extend. When the plug-in slot 16 on the first inverted U-plate 4 is level with the T-shaped plug-in plate 15 again, the T-shaped plug-in plate 15 will be inserted into the plug-in slot 16 again.
