Example

[0024] Depend on Figs. 1-4 This invention discloses a liquid-immersion type automotive steering gear housing airtightness testing device, comprising a water storage component 1, which carries a rotating component 2 and an airtightness testing liquid. The rotating component 2 drives a support component 3 to rotate circumferentially, allowing the automotive steering gear housing to enter and exit the airtightness testing liquid. The support component 3 carries a linear drive component 4 and a pneumatic output component 6. The linear drive component 4 drives a sealing component 5 to move linearly, thereby sealing and clamping the openings at both ends of the automotive steering gear housing. The pneumatic output component 6 inflates the interior of the automotive steering gear housing after it is clamped by the linear drive component 4. This invention achieves automated clamping and transfer of automotive electronic steering gear housings, and the automotive electronic steering gear housing can still be subjected to timely airtightness testing after transfer, ensuring the testing effect of the finished automotive electronic steering gear housing.

[0025] Specifically, the water storage component 1 includes a box 101, and a water storage tank 102 is provided on the upper surface of the box 101. An inlet pipe 103 and an outlet pipe 104 are inserted into the inner side wall of the water storage tank 102. Water can be introduced into and out of the water storage tank 102 through the inlet pipe 103 and the outlet pipe 104 respectively.

[0026] Specifically, the rotating component 2 includes a servo motor 201, which is detachably connected to the inner wall of the water storage tank 102. The output shaft of the servo motor 201 is connected to a rotating shaft 202. The servo motor 201 drives the rotating shaft 202 to rotate, thereby driving the support plate 301 to rotate in a circle. This, in turn, drives the car electronic steering gear housing, which is clamped by the linear drive component 4 and the sealing component 5, to sink into the liquid inside the water storage tank 102.

[0027] Specifically, the support assembly 3 includes a support plate 301, which is detachably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 202. The outer wall of the support plate 301 is provided with a side groove 302. The support assembly 3 enables the device to separate the detection process of the automotive electronic steering gear housing from the loading and unloading process, thereby improving the airtightness detection efficiency of the automotive electronic steering gear housing.

[0028] Specifically, the linear drive assembly 4 includes an electric cylinder 401, which is detachably connected to the inner wall of the side groove 302. One end of a pneumatic telescopic rod 402 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the electric cylinder 401, and the other end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 402 is detachably connected to a connecting plate 403. A limit rod 404 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting plate 403 facing the electric cylinder 401. A limit hole 405 is provided on the outer wall of the electric cylinder 401. The outer wall of the limit rod 404 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit hole 405. The operation of the electric cylinder 401 drives the pneumatic telescopic rod 402 to extend and slide, thereby driving the connecting plate 403 and the pressure plate 501 to move linearly. At the same time, the linear movement of the connecting plate 403 and the pressure plate 501 is relatively stable under the action of the limit rod 404 sliding along the limit hole 405.

[0029] Specifically, the sealing assembly 5 includes a pressure plate 501, which is detachably connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 403 away from the electric cylinder 401. One end of the pressure plate 501 is provided with a pressure rod 502 on the outer wall of the connecting plate 403, and the other end of the pressure rod 502 is equipped with a plug 503. The linear movement of the pressure plate 501 can drive the plug 503 to press against the car electronic steering gear housing.

[0030] Specifically, the pneumatic output component 6 includes an air pump 601, which is detachably connected to the inner wall of the side groove 302. The gas output end of the air pump 601 is connected to one end of the air supply pipe 602, and the other end of the air supply pipe 602 is connected to an air nozzle 603. The air nozzle 603 is inserted into the plug 503. By operating the air pump 601, airflow can be input through the air supply pipe 602 and the air nozzle 603 into the interior of the automotive electronic steering gear housing clamped by the linear drive component 4 and the sealing component 5 for air tightness testing.

[0031] Specifically, there are two linear drive components 4 and two blocking components 5, and the two linear drive components 4 are symmetrically distributed on the inner side wall of the side groove 302. The multiple side grooves 302 opened on the outer side wall of the support plate 301 enable each side groove 302 to be equipped with a set of linear drive components 4, blocking components 5 and pneumatic output components 6.

[0032] Specifically, there are multiple side grooves 302, and the multiple side grooves 302 are evenly distributed on the outer side wall of the support plate 301. Under the action of the servo motor 201 driving the support plate 301 to rotate, the air tightness test of the automotive electronic steering gear housing can be carried out at the same time, and the loading and unloading of the automotive electronic steering gear housing can be carried out simultaneously.

[0033] In use, firstly, the car steering gear housing is moved and placed on the inner wall of the side groove 302. Then, the electric cylinder 401 drives the pneumatic telescopic rod 402 to extend and slide, thereby driving the connecting plate 403 and the pressure plate 501 to move linearly. At the same time, the linear movement of the connecting plate 403 and the pressure plate 501 is relatively stable due to the sliding action of the limit rod 404 along the limit hole 405. Next, the linear movement of the pressure plate 501 drives the plug 503 to press the car electronic steering gear housing. Then, the servo motor 201 drives the rotating shaft 202 to rotate, thereby driving the support plate 301 to rotate circumferentially. This causes the car electronic steering gear housing, clamped by the linear drive assembly 4 and the sealing assembly 5, to sink into the liquid inside the water tank 102. Then, the air pump 601 drives the airflow through the air pipe 602 and the air nozzle 603 to enter the liquid inside the water tank 102, which is clamped by the linear drive assembly 4 and the sealing assembly 5. The device performs airtightness testing on the interior of the automotive electronic steering gear housing, effectively enabling automated clamping and transfer of the housing. After transfer, the housing can still undergo timely airtightness testing, ensuring the testing effect of the finished product. Finally, multiple side slots 302 on the outer wall of the support plate 301 allow for the installation of a linear drive assembly 4, a sealing assembly 5, and a pneumatic output assembly 6 on the inner wall of each slot. This allows the airtightness testing of the automotive electronic steering gear housing to be performed simultaneously with the loading and unloading of the housing, driven by the servo motor 201. This effectively separates the testing and loading / unloading processes, improving the efficiency of airtightness testing.
