[0002] The left and right cases of a motorcycle engine are the core components of the engine, providing support for the internal components of the engine and are usually made of aluminum alloy. The left case is usually used to install components such as a clutch, a starter motor, and a generator; while the right case is usually used to install components such as a crankshaft, a piston, and a cylinder. Thus, the sealing performance of the left and right cases of the engine and their oil passages can directly affect the performance and lifespan of the engine. Therefore, after the left and right cases of the engine are processed, it is necessary to separately conduct sealing tests on the left case and the right case.

[0003] Currently, the sealing test is usually carried out using a test device with a water tank, that is, the left case and the right case to be tested are separately placed into the water tank, and the air tightness is observed by checking whether there are bubbles emerging; after the test, it is also necessary to blow dry or bake the moisture on their surfaces, which is cumbersome and complex, time-consuming, and has a high labor cost. In addition, this test process has no traceability function, that is, if there are sealing defects during the assembly or use of the left and right cases, it is impossible to trace whether the left case and the right case have both passed the sealing test. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To enhance understanding of this utility model, it will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in the following ways:

[0030] Reference Figure 1-7 A motorcycle engine left and right housing airtightness testing device includes a body 1. Two fixing clamps 4 are mounted on a workbench 13 of the body 1, each respectively fixing a left housing 2 and a right housing 3. A liftable top-pressing sealing mechanism 5 is mounted on the top of each fixing clamp 4. An airtightness tester 11 and an operation panel 12 are mounted on the top of the top-pressing sealing mechanism 5. An air intake mechanism 6, a side sealing mechanism 7, and a marking mechanism 8 are located on the sides of the fixing clamps 4. This invention first seals the housing to be tested using the fixing clamps 4, the top-pressing sealing mechanism 5, and the side sealing mechanism 7. Then, the air intake mechanism 6 introduces gas into the housing, and the sealing performance of the housing is determined by detecting changes in air pressure.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The fixing fixture 4 includes a base 41, the bottom of which is provided with a limiting protrusion 42 adapted to the internal shape of the box. The limiting protrusion 42 can prevent the box from shifting during testing, affecting the test results. In addition, the height of the limiting protrusion 42 needs to be adapted to the box. When the box is fitted onto the limiting protrusion 42, the top of the limiting protrusion 42 just abuts against the top of the box, preventing the box from being crushed by the top pressing sealing mechanism 5. The base 41 is provided with a groove 43 whose shape is adapted to the edge of the box. A sealing strip (not shown in the figure) is provided on the groove 43. When the box is fitted onto the limiting protrusion 42, the bottom edge of the box just abuts against the sealing strip.

[0032] The workbench 13 is equipped with a support frame 14 for mounting the top pressing sealing mechanism 5. The top pressing sealing mechanism 5 includes a pressing plate 51, a lifting drive source 52 for controlling the lifting of the pressing plate 51, and a connecting frame 53 connecting the pressing plate 51 and the lifting drive source 52. The lifting drive source 52 includes a lifting push rod 521 connected to the connecting frame 53 and a lifting cylinder 522 for controlling the lifting of the lifting push rod 521. The lifting cylinder 522 controls the lifting of the lifting push rod 521, which pushes the connecting frame 53, causing the pressing plate 51 to rise or fall, thus moving the pressing plate 51 closer to or further away from the housing. Two symmetrically distributed guide rods 54 are provided on the side of the lifting push rod 521 to maintain balance during the lifting of the connecting frame 53. Furthermore, refer to... Figure 5 The connecting frame 53 includes a connecting plate 531 and two symmetrically distributed connecting vertical plates 532 disposed at the bottom of the connecting plate 531. The symmetrical distribution of the two connecting vertical plates 532 can, firstly, further ensure that the lower pressure plate 51 remains balanced during the pressing process, and secondly, can balance the force on the top of the box when it is pressed, preventing air leakage.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 The lower pressure plate 51 is provided with several limiting protection rods 55 on its edge. The upper end of each limiting protection rod 55 is connected to the connecting plate 531, and the lower end protrudes outside the lower pressure plate 51. The height of the limiting protection rod 55 is adapted to the height of the housing. That is, when the lower pressure plate 51 is pressed down to the top of the housing by the lifting drive source 52, the free end of the limiting protection rod 55 just abuts against the top of the base 41, thereby physically limiting the lower limit of the descent of the lower pressure plate 51 and preventing the lifting drive source 52 from damaging the housing due to malfunction.

[0034] Reference Figure 2The side sealing mechanism 7 includes a side sealing plate 71 and a side sealing drive source 72 that controls the reciprocating motion of the side sealing plate 71. The side sealing drive source 72 is a cylinder. The side sealing plate 71 has an end face on the side facing the housing, the shape and size of which are adapted to the side of the housing to prevent gas leakage.

[0035] Reference Figure 7 The air intake mechanism 6 includes an air intake pipe 61 and an air intake drive source 62 that controls the reciprocating motion of the air intake pipe 61. The air intake drive source 62 is a cylinder. During testing, after the top pressing sealing mechanism 5, the side sealing mechanism 7, and the fixing clamp 4 work together to fix the housing, the air intake mechanism 6 is activated, and the air intake drive source 62 controls the air intake pipe 61 to extend into the air intake port of the housing for testing.

[0036] The marking mechanism 8 includes a marking needle 81 and a marking drive source 82 that controls the reciprocating movement of the marking needle 81. The marking drive source 82 is a cylinder. The free end of the marking needle 81 is a cone, with the tip of the cone facing the housing. After the left housing 2 and the right housing 3 have been inspected, if the inspection result is qualified, the marking mechanism 8 will be triggered to mark the housing for easy traceability later; in addition, the mark is only a small dot and does not affect its appearance.

[0037] Working principle: First, place the left engine housing 2 and right engine housing 3 onto the bases 41 of the corresponding two fixing clamps 4. Then, set the parameters on the operation panel 12 and start the equipment. The lifting drive source 52 controls the connecting frame 53 to drive the lower pressure plate 51 to press down, and the side sealing drive source 72 drives the side sealing plate 71 to move closer to the housing. At the same time, the intake drive source 62 drives the intake pipe 61 to insert into the air inlet of the housing. Then, the equipment is started to automatically detect the air tightness of the housing. The 0.1 MPa inflation pressure is used to detect the chamber, and the 0.3 MPa pressure is used to detect the oil passage. If the test is qualified, the marking drive source 82 drives the marking needle 81 to automatically mark the housing; if it is unqualified, the alarm 9 will sound an alarm.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
