Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of exhaust pipe technology, specifically referring to exhaust pipe testing fixtures. Background Technology
[0002] The exhaust pipe is part of the engine's exhaust system. Installed between the engine's exhaust manifold and the muffler, it serves to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. Therefore, exhaust pipes require airtightness testing after production. The current method for testing automotive exhaust pipes involves clamping and fixing the pipe, inserting a plug to block one end, and then performing the airtightness test. However, existing testing fixtures are cumbersome to use, requiring multiple adjustments, resulting in low efficiency and inaccurate test results. Therefore, a new type of exhaust pipe testing fixture is urgently needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an exhaust pipe inspection fixture that uses a clamping arc plate and a positioning arc plate to clamp and fix the exhaust pipe, making it easy to align the sealing protrusion with the center of the drain pipe. This fixture is simple in structure, easy to operate, and has high working efficiency.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: The exhaust pipe testing fixture of this utility model includes a workbench, a clamping workbench, a clamping assembly, a positioning bracket, a testing groove, a testing support rod, a testing threaded rod, a testing motor, a sealing protrusion, an inflation nozzle, an air pump, an inflation pipe, and a pressure gauge. The clamping workbench is fixed above the center of the workbench, the clamping assembly is fixed above one end of the clamping workbench, the positioning bracket is fixed above the end of the clamping workbench away from the clamping assembly, and the testing groove is located on the top wall of the workbench. The detection groove is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clamping worktable. The detection support rod is slidably positioned above the worktable and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clamping worktable. The lower end of the detection support rod is slidably engaged within the detection groove. The detection threaded rod is rotatably positioned within the worktable and passes through the detection groove and the lower end of the detection support rod. The detection threaded rod meshes with the lower end of the detection support rod. The detection motor is fixed to one side of the worktable. The output end of the detection motor passes through the side wall of the detection groove and is fixedly connected to the detection threaded rod. The sealing protrusion is fixed to one side of the upper end of the detection support rod, and the sealing protrusion is located on the side of the detection support rod near the clamping worktable. The inflation nozzle is located on one side of the upper end of the detection support rod near the positioning bracket, and the inflation nozzle is located on the side of the sealing protrusion away from the detection support rod. The air pump is fixed below the worktable, and the air inflation tube is located at the output end of the air pump. The end of the air inflation tube away from the air pump is connected to the inflation nozzle. The air pressure gauge is fixed to the upper end of the detection support rod near the clamping assembly. The test support rod is positioned away from the sealing protrusion. The clamping assembly fixes the exhaust pipe above the clamping worktable. At this time, the test motor drives the test threaded rod to rotate, which in turn drives the test support rod to move linearly along the test slide. The test support rod then moves the sealing protrusion closer to both ends of the exhaust pipe, causing the sealing protrusion to block both ends of the exhaust pipe. Then, the air pump starts and pumps gas into the exhaust pipe through the air inlet via the air inlet pipe. At this time, the air pressure gauge detects the air pressure inside the exhaust pipe, and the sealing performance of the exhaust pipe is determined by the reading on the air pressure gauge.
[0005] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a clamping fixing plate, a clamping guide rod, a clamping threaded rod, a clamping motor, a clamping arc plate, and a clamping support plate. The clamping fixing plate is disposed above the clamping worktable. The clamping guide rod is fixedly disposed above one end of the clamping worktable, and its upper end is fixedly connected to the clamping fixing plate. The clamping threaded rod is rotatably disposed above the end of the clamping worktable away from the clamping guide rod. The clamping motor is fixedly disposed above one end of the clamping fixing plate, and its output end passes through the clamping fixing plate and... The clamping threaded rod is fixedly connected, and the clamping arc plate is located between the clamping fixing plate and the clamping worktable. The clamping arc plates are symmetrically arranged, and the clamping support plate is fixed on one side of the clamping arc plate. The clamping guide rod and the clamping threaded rod pass through both ends of the clamping support plate. The clamping threaded rod meshes with one end of the clamping support plate. The clamping motor drives the clamping threaded rod to rotate, and the rotating clamping threaded rod drives the clamping support plate to move linearly along the clamping guide rod, so that the clamping support plate drives the clamping arc plates to move closer to each other, and the clamping arc plate fixes the exhaust pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the positioning bracket is slidably disposed within the positioning arc plate, the positioning arc plate is symmetrically disposed within the positioning bracket, a positioning support plate is fixedly disposed on one side of the positioning arc plate, a positioning threaded rod is rotatably disposed within the upper end of the positioning bracket, the positioning threaded rod passes through the upper end of the positioning support plate, the positioning threaded rod meshes with the upper end of the positioning support plate, a positioning motor is fixedly disposed on one side of the upper end of the positioning bracket, the output end of the positioning motor passes through the side wall of the positioning bracket and is connected to the positioning threaded rod, a positioning guide rod is fixedly disposed within the lower end of the positioning bracket, the positioning guide rod passes through the lower end of the positioning support plate, the positioning threaded rod and the positioning guide rod are symmetrically disposed within the upper and lower ends of the positioning bracket, the positioning motor drives the positioning threaded rod to rotate, the rotating positioning threaded rod drives the positioning support plate to move towards the center of the positioning bracket, so that the positioning arc plates move closer to each other, thereby fixing the exhaust pipe at the center of the positioning bracket.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model using the above structure are as follows: The exhaust pipe testing fixture proposed in this solution clamps and fixes the exhaust pipe by clamping the arc plate and positioning arc plate, which makes it easy to align the sealing protrusion with the center of the drain pipe. The exhaust pipe is inflated by the air inlet, and the air pressure test gauge is read to determine the sealing performance of the exhaust pipe. The structure is simple, the operation is simple, and the work efficiency is high. Attached Figure Description
