Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sealing testing mechanisms, specifically a quick-change sealing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Existing products require sealing tests after manufacturing, necessitating the use of a sealing mechanism to seal the corresponding ports. However, existing sealing mechanisms require external three-axis moving mechanisms for port alignment, which are relatively bulky, resulting in a large sealing mechanism that lacks quick-change functionality. Furthermore, in practical use, the sealing head lacks automatic small-pitch adjustment, making reliable sealing impossible even with minor errors at the product ports. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a quick-change sealing mechanism that enables rapid replacement and has an error compensation function, thereby improving the convenience of sealing.

[0008] The horizontal connecting plate is fixed to the upper surface of the horizontal transfer plate. The vertical mounting plate has connecting holes on both sides. The back plate has positioning threaded holes corresponding to the connecting holes. The quick-change screw passes through the connecting holes and is locked into the positioning threaded holes. The front of the back plate is connected to the first moving plate through the X-axis drive screw assembly. The front of the first moving plate is connected to the second moving plate through the Y-axis drive screw assembly. The mounting boss of the second moving plate is connected to the sealing head.

[0009] The mounting boss has a concave center forming an arc-shaped spherical groove. A portion of the centering steel ball is embedded in the arc-shaped spherical groove. The mounting boss has a guide hole corresponding to the outer periphery of the arc-shaped spherical groove. The guide hole is concave along the thickness direction of the mounting boss. The sealing head includes a back mounting positioning plate, a middle connector assembly structure, and a front-end protruding sealing soft rubber post. The back mounting positioning plate includes a central arc-shaped spherical groove and surrounding guide protrusions. The guide protrusions are inserted into the guide holes and connected by a floating spring. The front end of the centering steel ball is embedded in the central arc-shaped spherical groove. The floating spring holds the sealing head in place. The diameter of the guide protrusions is slightly smaller than that of the guide holes.

[0010] Its further features are:

[0011] The X-axis drive screw assembly includes a first fixed block and an X-axis drive screw. The four corners of the first moving plate are provided with X-direction elongated slots. The first moving plate is connected to the front end of the back plate via fastening bolts and X-direction elongated slots. The first fixed block is fixed to one of the vertical sides of the back plate. The X-direction drive screw passes through the through hole on the first fixed block and is threaded to the corresponding X-direction threaded hole of the first moving plate. This allows the first moving plate to move in the X direction along the back plate through the X-direction elongated slots when the X-axis drive screw rotates.

[0012] The Y-axis drive screw assembly includes a second fixed block and a Y-axis drive screw. The second moving plate has Y-direction elongated slots at its four corners. The second moving plate is connected to the corresponding front end of the first moving plate via fastening bolts and Y-direction elongated slots. The second fixed block is fixed to the top edge of the first moving plate. The Y-direction drive screw passes through the through hole on the second fixed block and is threaded to the corresponding Y-direction threaded hole of the second moving plate. This allows the second moving plate to move along the first moving plate in the Y direction through the Y-direction elongated slots when the Y-axis drive screw rotates.

[0013] The upper surface of the horizontal connecting plate is connected to the back side of the vertical mounting plate via an L-shaped reinforcing plate, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire structure.

[0014] With the structure of this utility model, the sealing component is directly integrated with the X-axis and Y-axis fine-tuning drive mechanism. Furthermore, the centering steel ball and floating spring enable the front end of the sealing head to have a fine-tuning function for the protruding sealing soft rubber column. The sealing component is directly connected to the mounting bracket on the horizontal transfer plate of the horizontal transfer cylinder through quick-change screws, which allows the sealing component to be quickly replaced. In addition, the front end of the sealing head has an error compensation function, which improves the convenience of sealing. Attached Figure Description
