Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power take-off air tightness testing technology, and in particular to a power take-off air tightness testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy, the demand for construction machinery products required for infrastructure projects is gradually increasing. Power take-off (PTO) assemblies, as compatible products for engine power output, are widely used due to their low cost and reliable performance. Their working principle is as follows: after assembling the gear shaft with bearings, housing, flanges, and other related components, it is fixed to the engine and meshes with the gear train for power output. Because the bearings bear loads and rotate at high speeds, lubrication is required. The necessary lubricating oil enters the PTO's inner cavity through an oil hole in the housing shaft diameter. To prevent lubricating oil from leaking to the outside of the PTO through the oil seal flange, the PTO is designed with a sealing element, namely a rotating shaft oil seal, to seal the lubricating oil. To ensure sealing performance and effectiveness, the PTO undergoes an airtightness test before leaving the factory as a preventative measure against oil seal leakage. In existing technologies, the sealing plate is often manually clamped to the lower end of the PTO using an elbow clamp before the airtightness test is performed. This method is inefficient and yields unsatisfactory results. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The transverse drive mechanism 8 is mounted on the support platform 5, and its output end is connected to the positioning fixture 6, which can drive the positioning fixture 6 to move laterally.

[0044] The clamping mechanism 7 is installed on the support platform 5 and is used to clamp the power take-off 9 onto the positioning fixture 6.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism 4 includes: at least one lifting drive cylinder 41 and a plurality of guide rods 42;

[0046] The output end of the lifting drive cylinder 41 is connected to the lifting frame 3, which can drive the lifting frame 3 to move up and down.

[0047] The guide rod 42 is installed on the frame 1 and is slidably connected to the lifting frame 3, playing a guiding role during the lifting process of the lifting frame 3.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning fixture 6 is provided with a positioning protrusion 61. The shape of the positioning protrusion 61 is coupled with the lower part of the power take-off 9, which is used to position the power take-off 9 and prevent the power take-off 9 from moving left and right. The lower end of the power take-off 9 can be sleeved on the positioning protrusion 61 and tightly connected with the positioning fixture 6.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a sealing ring 62 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning protrusion 61, and the sealing ring 62 makes the power take-off 9 and the positioning fixture 6 better sealed.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning fixture 6 is also provided with a vent hole 63. One end of the vent hole 63 extends through to the positioning protrusion 61, and the other end is connected to the air pump. During the air tightness test, the air pump fills the power take-off 9 with air through the vent hole 63.

[0058] The support frame 71 is fixedly connected to the support platform 5;

[0059] The clamping cylinder 72 is mounted on the support frame 71, and its output end is connected to the clamping member 73. It can drive the clamping member 73 to move up and down, so that the clamping member 73 clamps the power take-off 9.
