A sealing element 406 is provided at the bottom of the sliding block 405, and a spring 407 is provided on the outer side of the sealing element 406. The position of the sliding block 405 is adjusted according to the holes of different models of engine cylinder heads by sliding on the sealing mechanism. Then, the sealing mechanism is activated to move the sealing element 406. Since the engine cylinder head is a curved surface, and each hole is not on the same plane, after the sealing element 406 contacts the top of the engine cylinder head, the spring 407 makes each sealing element 406 accurately seal the hole.

[0035] The sealing mechanism includes a sealing component and a fixing component; the sealing component is disposed on the top plate 3 and is used to move the sealing element 406 above each channel and lower it to seal the channel; the fixing component is disposed on the sealing component and is used to fix the sealing component after it has been adjusted according to the channel position. The sealing assembly includes a cylinder 401, a push rod 402, a guide platform 403, and a positioning groove 404.

A second spring 410 is disposed on the outer side of the plug rod 409. Pulling the plug rod 409 causes it to disengage from the positioning hole 411. At this time, the sliding block 405 can be moved. After the sealing member 406 is moved to the appropriate position by the sliding block 405, the plug rod 409 is released. Under the action of the first spring 407, the plug rod 409 is inserted into the positioning hole 411 at that position, thereby fixing the sealing member 406.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes an engine cylinder head airtightness testing device. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment details the structure of the clamping mechanism.

[0038] The clamping mechanism includes an air blowing pipe 514, an air pump 505, and a moving assembly. The air pump 505 is located on the top of the base plate 1, and the air blowing pipe 514 is located at the output end of the air pump 505. When the air pump 505 is started, it delivers gas to the engine cylinder head through the air blowing pipe 514, thereby initiating the airtightness test. The moving assembly is located on the mounting plate 501 and is used to clamp the engine cylinder head by moving synchronously in four directions. The moving assembly includes a support plate 502, a mounting plate 501, a slide groove 503, and a second cylinder 508. The support plate 502 is located on the top of the base plate 1, the mounting plate 501 is located on the top of the support plate 502, the slide groove 503 is located on the mounting plate 501, and the second cylinder 508 is located on the side of the support plate 502.

[0039] In summary, when this utility model is used, starting cylinder 2 508 causes push rod 2 509 to move. Push rod 2 509, through push block 510, causes sliding member 511 to move. When sliding member 511 moves, it causes rotating plate 504 to rotate through L-shaped rod 512. This causes rotating plate 504 to rotate the other three L-shaped rods 512, thereby causing the other three sliding members 511 connected to L-shaped rods 512 to slide in the slide groove 503 through sliding plate 513 and connecting block 408. The four connecting blocks 408 respectively drive the four arc-shaped clamping plates 507 to move synchronously, thereby clamping the engine cylinder head in all directions. After clamping is completed, pull insert rod 40 9. After disengaging the sealing member 406 from the positioning hole 411, the sliding block 405 moves the sealing member 406 to the appropriate position and then the insertion rod 409 is released. The insertion rod 409 is inserted into the positioning hole 411 at the position under the action of the spring 407. Then, the cylinder 401 is started. The cylinder 401 drives the guide table 403 to move through the push rod 402. The guide table 403 drives all the sealing members 406 to move onto the channel. And through the action of the spring 407, the sealing members 406 are pressed onto the channel, thereby performing the sealing work. Finally, the air pump 505 is started. The air pump 505 delivers gas to the engine cylinder head through the air blowing pipe 514, thereby starting the air tightness test.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
