Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece testing technology, and in particular to an automatic sealing device and an automatic airtightness testing system. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive engine manufacturing process, cavity sealing and airtightness testing is one of the core processes to ensure engine sealing and reliability. This process, through sealing the engine casing cavities and testing their airtightness, directly relates to whether the engine can effectively prevent liquid and gas leakage during operation, playing a decisive role in the engine's performance stability and service life.
[0003] Currently, most automobile manufacturers still use traditional manual operation methods for the airtightness testing of engine housing cavity sealing. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the specific operating procedure is as follows: First, the worker needs to accurately place the engine product casing onto the positioning fixture based on experience and feel. This step requires a high level of skill from the worker; any deviation in placement will directly affect the installation accuracy of the subsequent sealing heads. Next, the worker needs to manually attach the sealing heads to the openings to be sealed on the product casing one by one. This process requires the worker to operate each one individually, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to accurately control the locking force and position when manually attaching the sealing heads. Due to the differences in the size and position of different sealing openings, workers are prone to misinstalling the sealing heads or applying excessive locking pressure during the operation. Finally, the worker needs to manually press the airtightness test switch to start the testing equipment to perform an airtightness test on the cavity.
[0004] However, this manually-driven process exposes many problems that urgently need to be addressed. From a production efficiency perspective, the manual placement of the outer casing, the individual attachment of the sealing heads, and the manual triggering of tests are cumbersome and lengthy, each step consuming a significant amount of time, resulting in low overall testing efficiency and failing to meet the demands of modern automotive production lines for large-scale, fast-paced production. Regarding sealing performance, manual attachment of the sealing heads makes it difficult to precisely control the attachment torque and position, easily leading to two extreme situations: firstly, insufficient attachment force or misalignment can result in a poor seal between the sealing head and the outer casing, causing leakage during airtightness testing and affecting the accuracy of the results; secondly, excessive attachment force may damage the outer casing or the sealing head, rendering the product unusable. Furthermore, manual operation is significantly affected by individual worker differences. Different workers have different operating habits, force control, and concentration levels, resulting in poor consistency in sealing head installation, leading to unstable sealing performance and low product yield. From a labor cost perspective, the fully manual operation mode requires a large workforce, which not only increases the company's labor costs, but also easily leads to worker fatigue due to the repetitive nature of manual labor, further affecting operational accuracy and production efficiency. With the automotive industry's ever-increasing demands for engine quality control, the existing manual cavity sealing and airtightness testing process has become a key bottleneck restricting the improvement of engine production quality and efficiency. There is an urgent need to introduce new processes with high automation, controllable sealing accuracy, and strong testing stability to solve the current problems of low efficiency, unstable quality, and high labor costs.
[0005] Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed for the problems existing in related technologies, such as low installation efficiency, inability to guarantee stable sealing effect, easy misinstallation of plugs, excessive tightening pressure damaging products, high manpower consumption, poor product consistency, and low yield.

The purpose of this design is to facilitate the replacement of different specifications of the fourth load-bearing mechanism 630 according to different needs.
[0270] In some embodiments, there are multiple second auxiliary sliding elements. These multiple second auxiliary sliding elements are spaced apart from the second auxiliary track element and are detachably connected to the fourth support mechanism 630.
[0271] In some embodiments, the second auxiliary sliding element is a slider. It works in conjunction with the second auxiliary track element (guide rail) to support the fourth support mechanism 630 and slide along the second auxiliary track element (guide rail).
[0272] Furthermore, the third sealing fixture 600 also includes at least one buffer mechanism 660. The buffer mechanism 660 is disposed on the support mechanism 610 and is used to limit the range of motion of the second lateral movement mechanism 620.
[0273] Specifically, the buffer mechanism 660 removably abuts against the third connecting element of the second lateral movement mechanism 620 to limit the range of motion of the third connecting element.
[0274] The buffer mechanism 660 is detachably connected to the support mechanism 610 (fourth support element) via means including but not limited to bolt connections. This design allows for easy adjustment of the position of the buffer mechanism 660 according to different needs.
[0275] In some embodiments, the buffer mechanism 660 includes, but is not limited to, buffer baffles, buffer blocks, etc.
[0276] Furthermore, the third sealing fixture 600 also includes at least one second positioning mechanism 670. The second positioning mechanism 670 is disposed on the support mechanism 610 and is used to reciprocate in the vertical direction to abut or move away from the fourth bearing mechanism 630, thereby stabilizing the fourth bearing mechanism 630.
[0277] The second positioning mechanism 670 is detachably connected to the support mechanism 610 (fourth support element) via means including but not limited to bolt connections. This design facilitates adjustment of the position of the buffer mechanism 660 according to different needs.
[0278] In some embodiments, there are multiple second positioning mechanisms 670. These multiple second positioning mechanisms 670 are distributed across the support mechanism 610.
[0279] In this invention, the second positioning mechanism 670 can be electrically driven (such as a drive motor) or pneumatically driven (such as a cylinder).
[0280] In some embodiments, the second positioning mechanism 670 includes an eighth driving element, a movable element, and a third positioning element. The eighth driving element is disposed on the support mechanism 610; the movable element is connected to the eighth driving element and is used for reciprocating motion in the vertical direction under the action of the eighth driving element; the third positioning element is disposed on the fourth bearing mechanism 630 and is removably connected to the movable element.
[0281] The working principle of the second positioning mechanism 670 is as follows: under the action of the second lateral movement mechanism 620, the fourth bearing mechanism 630 moves to the designated position, at which time the third positioning element is located directly above the movable element; under the action of the eighth driving element, the movable element moves upward and connects with the third positioning element (such as by plugging), thereby limiting the position of the fourth bearing mechanism 630 and preventing the fourth bearing mechanism 630 from moving.
[0282] In some of these embodiments, the eighth drive element includes, but is not limited to, a motor, a cylinder, etc.
[0283] In some of these embodiments, the moving element includes, but is not limited to, a moving rod.
[0284] In some of these embodiments, the third positioning element includes, but is not limited to, a positioning sleeve.
[0285] The method of using this utility model is as follows:
[0286] At the workpiece loading and unloading station, the workpiece to be tested is placed on the first bearing mechanism 210, and the first positioning mechanism 220 abuts against the side wall of the workpiece.
[0287] The first transverse motion mechanism 110 operates, driving the first bearing mechanism 210 to move to the airtightness test station;
[0288] When the first bearing mechanism 210 reaches the airtightness test station, the first lateral movement mechanism 110 stops working through the first sensing mechanism 120 and / or the first limiting mechanism 140.
[0289] The vertical motion mechanism 410 operates, driving the third bearing mechanism 510 from the initial position to the airtightness test position via the second bearing mechanism 420;
[0290] When the third bearing mechanism 510 reaches the airtightness test station, the vertical movement mechanism 410 is stopped by the second limiting mechanism 440. At this time, the second vertical sealing mechanism 520 seals the top opening of the workpiece to be tested.
[0291] The second transverse motion mechanism 620 operates, driving the fourth bearing mechanism 630 to move to the airtightness test station;
[0292] When the fourth bearing mechanism 630 reaches the airtightness test station, the second lateral movement mechanism 620 stops working through the buffer mechanism 660.
[0293] The second positioning mechanism 670 operates to define the position of the fourth bearing mechanism 630;
[0294] The first transverse blocking mechanism 310, the oblique blocking mechanism 320, the first vertical blocking mechanism 330, the second transverse blocking mechanism 530, and the third transverse blocking mechanism 640 work to block the through holes (slots) on the side of the workpiece to be tested.
[0295] After the sealing process is completed, the airtightness test can be performed on the workpiece to be tested.
[0296] When the airtightness test is completed, the first transverse sealing mechanism 310, the oblique sealing mechanism 320, the first vertical sealing mechanism 330, the second transverse sealing mechanism 530, and the third transverse sealing mechanism 640 operate to move away from the through holes (slots) on the side of the workpiece to be tested.
[0297] The second positioning mechanism 670 is activated, releasing the restriction on the fourth bearing mechanism 630;
[0298] The second lateral movement mechanism 620 and the vertical movement mechanism 410 are activated to reset the fourth bearing mechanism 630 and the second vertical blocking mechanism 520, respectively.
[0299] The first transverse motion mechanism 110 works, driving the first bearing mechanism 210 to move to the workpiece loading and unloading station;
[0300] When the first bearing mechanism 210 reaches the workpiece loading and unloading station, the first transverse motion mechanism 110 stops working through the first sensing mechanism 120 and / or the first limiting mechanism 140.
[0301] Remove the workpiece from the positioning fixture 200;
[0302] Repeat the above steps until the airtightness test of all workpieces is completed.
[0303] The technical effects of this embodiment are as follows: The lateral motion fixture moves the positioning fixture forward and backward. After the positioning fixture reaches the airtightness testing station, automatic sealing and automatic airtightness testing are achieved through linkage. Automatic high-precision sealing is achieved using the first, second, and third sealing fixtures, avoiding improper installation and improving the airtightness testing yield. Insertion / clamping sealing is performed using the first, second, and third sealing fixtures, changing the sealing method and avoiding product damage due to excessive tightening pressure. This reduces labor costs and improves product consistency.
