Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of parts detection, in particular to an active compression sealing tool. Background Art

[0002] During the processing of parts, many parts need to be connected by welding. This forms welds between the components, and a sealing test is required to detect whether there is leakage at the welds. A Chinese patent (CN217605200U) discloses a sealing fixture for component weld sealing tests. The sealing fixture is easy to install and can effectively prevent the sealing ring from being scratched during installation, thereby affecting the sealing effect, ensuring the accuracy of the test. However, there are still some problems in the actual use of the sealing fixture:

[0003] (1) When the sealing tool is installed, in order to ensure the sealing effect, the protective component is often squeezed too tightly, which causes the ring groove to over-extrude the sealing ring, exceeding the elastic deformation range of the sealing ring, and reducing the service life of the sealing ring;

[0004] (2) The fixing ring is fixed to one end of the core rod, and the interference fit assembly method makes the assembly of the sealing tool itself more troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides an active compression sealing tool, comprising:

[0007] A pull rod, one end of which is provided with a limit member;

[0008] The protective assembly includes an end sleeve, a middle sleeve, and a top sleeve that are sequentially slidably sleeved on the pull rod in a direction away from the limit member; an annular groove is formed on the outer periphery of the pull rod between the end sleeve and the middle sleeve and between the middle sleeve and the top sleeve; a limit ring is provided in the annular groove and is slidably sleeved with the pull rod, and is used to limit the minimum width of the annular groove so that it does not exceed the elastic deformation range of the O-ring;

[0009] An O-shaped sealing ring is sleeved on the outer circumference of the limiting ring in the annular groove. The outer diameter of the O-shaped sealing ring in its natural state is smaller than the outer diameter of the annular groove. The outer diameter of the O-shaped sealing ring after being squeezed by the side wall of the annular groove is larger than the outer diameter of the annular groove. 1 / 2 of the difference between the outer diameters of the annular groove and the limiting ring is larger than the wire diameter of the O-shaped sealing ring;

[0010] An adjusting assembly is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod away from the limiting member and is used for squeezing the top sleeve to adjust the width of the annular groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting member is a clamping ring, and a circle of clamping grooves is circumferentially formed at one end of the pull rod away from the adjusting assembly, and the clamping ring is sleeved in the clamping groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting ring located between the end sleeve and the middle sleeve is integrally formed with the end sleeve or the middle sleeve, and the limiting ring located between the middle sleeve and the top sleeve is integrally formed with the middle sleeve or the top sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, the width of the annular groove gradually increases from the groove bottom to the groove opening.

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the relevant utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the portions relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , an embodiment of the utility model provides an active compression sealing tool, comprising:

[0032] A pull rod 1, one end of which is provided with a limit member 11;

[0033] The protective assembly 2 includes an end sleeve 21, a middle sleeve 22, and a top sleeve 23 that are sequentially slidably mounted on the pull rod 1 in a direction away from the limit member 11; annular grooves 24 are formed on the outer periphery of the pull rod 1 between the end sleeve 21 and the middle sleeve 22, and between the middle sleeve 22 and the top sleeve 23; a limit ring 25 is provided in the annular groove 24 and is slidably mounted on the pull rod 1, and is used to limit the minimum width of the annular groove 24 so that it does not exceed the elastic deformation range of the O-ring 3;

[0034] The O-ring 3 and the outer circumference of the limiting ring 25 in the annular groove 24 are both sleeved with the O-ring 3. The outer diameter R1 of the O-ring 3 in its natural state is smaller than the outer diameter R2 of the annular groove 24. The outer diameter of the O-ring 3 after being squeezed by the side wall of the annular groove 24 is larger than the outer diameter R2 of the annular groove 24. 1 / 2 of the difference between the outer diameters of the annular groove 24 and the limiting ring 25 is larger than the wire diameter R3 of the O-ring 3.

[0035] The adjusting assembly 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod 1 away from the limiting member 11 and is used for squeezing the top sleeve 23 to adjust the width of the annular groove 24 .

[0036] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, before the side wall hole of the part is sealed, the O-ring 3 is received in the annular groove 24 formed by the protective component 2 , and the annular groove 24 plays a protective role for the O-ring 3 .

[0037] When sealing the sidewall hole, the sealing tool is inserted into the main channel of the part. When the O-ring 3 passes by the sharp metal edge at the intersection of the main channel and the sidewall hole, the O-ring 3 will not be scratched by the sharp metal edge. After the two sealing rings 3 are distributed on both sides of the sidewall hole, the width of the annular groove 24 is adjusted by adjusting the component 4, squeezing the O-ring 3 in the annular groove 24, increasing the outer diameter of the O-ring 3. When one limiting ring 25 is pressed between the end sleeve 21 and the middle sleeve 22, and the other limiting ring 25 is pressed between the middle sleeve 22 and the top sleeve 23, the annular groove 24 can no longer be reduced. At this time, the O-ring 3 is tightened in the main channel, forming a seal. Then, a high-pressure medium is injected into the component welded to the sidewall hole. After maintaining pressure for a period of time, the weld is checked for leakage to test the quality of the weld.

[0038] The limiting ring 25 limits the minimum width of the ring groove 24, so that it squeezes the O-ring 3 to achieve a sealing effect without exceeding the elastic deformation range of the O-ring 3. It is easy to install and has a good sealing effect, avoids excessive extrusion of the O-ring 3, and extends the service life of the O-ring 3.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting member 11 is a clamping ring, and a circle of clamping grooves 12 are circumferentially defined at one end of the pull rod 1 away from the adjusting assembly 4 , and the clamping ring is sleeved in the clamping groove 12 .

[0040] In this embodiment, when assembling the sealing tool itself, the top sleeve 23, the middle sleeve 22 and the end sleeve 21 are put on the pull rod 1 one by one, and then the clamping ring is inserted into the clamping groove 12. At this time, the clamping ring forms a limit for one end of the protective component 2, and the assembly of the sealing tool is completed, and the assembly is convenient.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, the limiting ring 25 located between the end sleeve 21 and the middle sleeve 22 is integrally formed with the end sleeve 21 or the middle sleeve 22, and the limiting ring 25 located between the middle sleeve 22 and the top sleeve 23 is integrally formed with the middle sleeve 22 or the top sleeve 23, which reduces the number of components to be assembled in the sealing tooling and further improves its assembly convenience.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the width of the annular groove 24 gradually increases from the bottom of the groove to the groove mouth, forming an inverted trapezoidal segment surface. After the inner wall of the annular groove 24 squeezes the O-ring 3, a wider sealing surface is formed, which improves the sealing effect.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a circle of positioning ring 26 is fixedly provided on one end of the top sleeve 23 away from the middle sleeve 22. When the positioning ring 26 is against the orifice of the main channel of the part, the two O-rings 3 are just distributed on both sides of the side wall hole, which has a good positioning effect and ensures accurate sealing.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment assembly 4 includes a screw 41 coaxially fixedly connected to the pull rod 1, an adjusting nut 42 is threadedly sleeved on the screw 41, the inner diameter of the adjusting nut 42 is larger than the outer diameter of the pull rod 1, and an end cap 43 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 41 away from the pull rod 1, and the side wall of the end cap 43 is densely covered with anti-slip grooves 44.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sealing tool is inserted into the main channel until the positioning ring 26 rests against the orifice of the main channel. At this time, the O-ring 3 is distributed on both sides of the side wall hole; then the adjusting nut 42 is tightened with a wrench, and the screw 41 is rotated through the end cap 43. With the cooperation of the adjusting nut 42 and the screw 41, the adjusting nut 42 squeezes the top sleeve 23, thereby reducing the width of the annular groove 24, until the limiting ring 25 makes the width of the annular groove 24 unable to continue to decrease, and the O-ring 3 forms an effective seal, with a reasonable structural design and convenient operation.
