[0002] To ensure their lifespan, MGU products typically undergo airtightness testing. Current airtightness testing generally involves manual operation using a mold. During testing, the worker mounts the MGU product onto the mold support and then introduces compressed air, checking for airtightness by listening to sound or observing changes in air pressure. Alternatively, other vacuum methods can be used. This testing process is affected by the precision of the fit between the workpiece and the mold, and when changing products for testing, separate mold replacement is required.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1
[0022] The MGU actuator airtightness testing equipment includes a test bench 1, which includes a top support 2, a bottom support 3, and a vertical support 4 connecting the support 2 and the support 3. The support 2 and the support 3 are arranged in parallel. The support 2 and the support 3 are both rectangular columnar members with rounded or chamfered edges. The support 2, the support 3, and the vertical support 4 form a C-shape with each other.
[0023] A cylinder 5 is mounted on bracket 2. Cylinder 5 is a plunger-type cylinder with a vertically oriented body. The piston rod extends from the lower end of bracket 2. A positioning frame 6 is mounted on the lower end of the piston rod of cylinder 5. The positioning frame 6 is used to press the product onto it, ensuring reliable product clamping. A mounting seat 7 is mounted on bracket 3. An air passage is provided in the middle of the mounting seat 7, connecting to the upper end of the mounting seat 7. The mounting seat 7 is used to mount the product and is located directly below the positioning frame 6.
[0024] The top of the mounting base 7 is provided with a mating part 8 that mates with the product. A sealing element 26 is fitted on the mating part 8. When assembled, the sealing element 26 seals against the inner wall of the MGU actuator.
[0025] Cylinder 5 can drive positioning frame 6 to firmly abut the product installed on mounting base 7. The air passage of mounting base 7 is connected to vacuum equipment, which can evacuate the product chamber into a vacuum state.
[0026] In this solution, the positioning frame 6 includes a fixed base 9, and a three-jaw pressure seat 10 is detachably installed at the lower end of the fixed base 9. The end of the fixing column 11 of the three-jaw pressure seat 10 is provided with a rubber sleeve. The purpose of using the rubber sleeve is to avoid damage to the product and to counteract problems such as jamming caused by initial unstable placement.
[0027] A guide shaft 12 is mounted on the fixed base 9, and a linear bearing 13 is mounted on the bracket 2. The linear bearing 13 passes through the upper and lower ends of the bracket 2. The guide shaft 12 cooperates with and passes through the linear bearing 13. This structural design ensures that the positioning frame 6 and the piston rod operate steadily and synchronously, reducing the risk of jamming.
[0028] The mounting base 7 includes a base plate 14 and a seat body 15 mounted on the base plate 14. A mating part 8 is located at the upper end of the seat body 15. The seat body 15 and the base plate 14 are detachably connected. An air port 16 is provided on the side of the base plate 14, and an air chamber 17 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 14. The air port 16 communicates with the air chamber 17 through a channel 18 located inside the base plate 14. A groove 19 is provided around the upper end of the air chamber 17, and a sealing ring is provided within the groove 19. The seat body 15 is installed within the groove 19, and a sealing fit is achieved between it and the air chamber 17 through the sealing ring. This multi-position detachable design can accommodate more product requirements, enabling multi-purpose use, reducing equipment usage, and increasing reliability.
[0029] The base 15 has a second channel 20 in its middle, which passes through the base. The mating part 8 has a mounting ear 21 on its edge. The mating part 8 includes a protruding frustum, and a sealing groove for mounting a sealing element 26 is provided on the circumferential side of the frustum. The sealing element 26 is a rubber ring, including a cylindrical sealing ring 22 at the bottom and a sealing lip 23 at the top. The sealing ring 22 and the sealing lip 23 are connected by a connecting ring 25, which includes an outer rubber layer and an inner support frame 24. This solution uses a vacuum method to test airtightness, and the airtightness of the product is determined by reading changes in the vacuum level from the outside.
[0030] In this design, the sealing lip 23 is trumpet-shaped. The double-seal structure design ensures a complete seal between the product and the mating part 8, preventing deviations in test results due to inadequate sealing during installation.
[0031] The base plate 14 is also equipped with a support seat that supports the bottom of the product motor. The support seat is height adjustable and can be detached from the base plate 14.
[0032] During operation, the product is installed on the mating part 8, and then the positioning claw presses down against the upper part of the product to make the product and the mating part 8 fit tightly. Then, a vacuum is drawn on the air port 16 of the base plate 14 to conduct an airtightness test. After the test is completed, the positioning frame 6 is removed and the product is taken out; the next product is then tested.
