[0007] Main installation block;

[0008] The test component includes a mounting slot that runs through the main mounting block. A repositionable upward piston is movably mounted within the mounting slot. Positioning blocks are mounted on the upper end of each mounting slot, and a guide block is mounted on one of the positioning blocks. The product under test is positioned by the guide block and extends into the two positioning blocks. An upward force is applied to the upward piston, compressing the rectangular sealing ring mounted on the upper end of the upward piston, causing it to tighten around the outer wall of the product under test to achieve a seal. A medium is then introduced for seal testing. After the test, the applied force is disconnected, and the product returns to its original position under the action of a return spring.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning block is provided with a recessed hole that communicates with the upward piston, and the product being tested is located inside the recessed hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide block has a notch at its upper end, and when the product under test is installed in the positioning block, the product under test is secured in the notch.

[0011] Furthermore, an O-ring is installed between the positioning block and the main mounting block.

[0012] Furthermore, a return spring is installed between the upward piston and the positioning block, and the return spring is used to reset the upward piston.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting groove is stepped, and the bottom of the upward piston is provided with a mating mechanism.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model's testing fixture can replace manual valve core pressing, solving the problem of leakage detection in HVAC electronic expansion valves. The fixture allows for quick disassembly and replacement, which is convenient and fast, improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. The fixture has a simple and compact design, stable testing results, high durability and efficiency, and saves time, making it worthy of widespread application. Attached Figure Description
