Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 The embodiments of this utility model include:

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The casing positioning and leak testing device shown is used for positioning and sealing testing of casing 4. It includes: base 1, fixed plate 2, floating plate 3, cover plate 14, positioning seat 17 and positioning column 19. The fixed plate 2 is set on the base 1 and can be fixed by bolts, so the structure is stable.

[0025] Place the casing 4 onto the fixing plate 2 for positioning. For example... Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the housing 4 is provided with a shaft hole 42, and the positioning post 19 is set on the fixing plate 2 and corresponds to the shaft hole 42 for center positioning of the housing 4. Ear seats 41 are provided on both sides of the housing 4, and positioning seats 17 are set on the fixing plate 2 and correspond one-to-one with the ear seats 41. In this embodiment, the positioning seat 17 is provided with a U-shaped groove 18 corresponding to the ear seat 41. Through the cooperation between the positioning seat 17 and the ear seat 41, the circumferential positioning of the housing 4 is achieved, avoiding torsion problems and ensuring positioning accuracy. The positioning seat 17 can be fixed with bolts, making disassembly and replacement convenient.

[0026] A first screw 29 is provided in the positioning post 19 to connect with the fixing plate 2. The fixing plate 2 is provided with a threaded hole 30 corresponding to the first screw 29, which facilitates the fixing and replacement of the positioning post 19. An air groove 25 is provided inward on one side of the positioning post 19, which facilitates the airflow in the housing 4 to communicate vertically through the shaft hole 42, ensuring the performance of leak detection.

[0027] An air pipe connector 27 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 2. An air inlet 26 is provided on the top surface of the fixed plate 2, located on one side of the positioning column 19. An air flow channel 28 is provided in the fixed plate 2 to connect the air inlet and the air pipe connector 27. An air supply pipeline is connected to the air pipe connector 27. A valve and a pressure sensor are installed on the air supply pipeline. After compressed air is sent into the housing 4 and reaches the specified pressure, the valve is closed to maintain the pressure. The air pressure is monitored by the pressure sensor. If the air pressure drops, it indicates that the housing 4 is leaking air. The operation is simple.

[0028] The floating plate 3 is arranged above the housing 4 in a height-adjustable manner. The floating plate 3 is provided with an array of first guide rods 10 pointing downwards. The fixed plate 2 is provided with guide tubes 9 corresponding to the first guide rods 10 to guide the floating plate 3 and improve the stability of its vertical floating.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a pressure plate 16 is provided above the floating plate 3 to drive the floating plate 3 to rise and fall. A height limiting support column 33 is provided between the pressure plate 16 and the floating plate 3. A third screw 32 is provided on the pressure plate 16 to connect to the top of the height limiting support column 33. A fourth screw is provided on the floating plate to connect to the bottom of the height limiting support column 33, so as to facilitate the replacement of the height limiting support column 33. By replacing the height limiting support column 33 of different lengths, the lowest position height of the floating plate 3 after it falls can be adjusted to adapt to the casing 4 of different heights.

[0030] A bracket 6 is provided on both sides of the fixed plate 2 on the base 1. A cylinder mounting seat 5 is provided on the top of the bracket 6. A first cylinder 11 connected to the pressure plate 16 is provided on the cylinder mounting seat 5. The extension and retraction of the first cylinder 11 can be controlled by a solenoid valve, which drives the pressure plate 16 and the floating plate 3 to rise and fall, making the operation simple. Guide sleeves 13 are provided on both sides of the first cylinder 11 on the cylinder mounting seat 5. A second guide rod 12 passing through the guide sleeves 13 is provided on the pressure plate 16 to guide the rise and fall of the pressure plate 16.

[0031] Cover plate 14 is positioned below floating plate 3, and a guide post 21 extending upward through floating plate 3 is provided at the top of cover plate 14. Figure 3 As shown, a limit ring 20 is provided at the top of the guide post 21 to limit the downward movement of the guide post 21. A spring 22 is provided on the guide post 21 between the cover plate 14 and the floating plate 3. The spring 22 elastically presses down on the cover plate 14 as the floating plate 3 descends.

[0032] A positioning block 15 corresponding to the top opening of the housing 4 is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 14. In this embodiment, the positioning block 15 is provided with a second screw 23 connected to the cover plate 14, which facilitates replacement. The bottom of the positioning block 15 is chamfered to facilitate the insertion of the positioning block 15 into the top opening of the housing 4 as the cover plate 14 descends, thereby guiding the positioning block 15.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a first annular groove is recessed on the bottom surface of the cover plate 14, and a first sealing ring 31 corresponding to the top edge of the housing 4 is disposed in the first annular groove. The cover plate 14 drives the first sealing ring 31 to press down on the top edge of the housing 4, thereby sealing the top of the housing 4. A second annular groove is provided on the fixing plate 2, and a second sealing ring 24 corresponding to the bottom edge of the housing 4 is disposed in the second annular groove. The bottom of the housing 4 is sealed by the contact between the second sealing ring 24 and the bottom of the housing 4.

[0034] A second cylinder 7 is horizontally mounted on the base 1, pointing towards the location of the housing 4. A dotting punch 8 is mounted at the end of the second cylinder 7. The extension and retraction of the second cylinder 7 can be controlled by a solenoid valve and a PLC controller. The PLC controller is connected to a pressure sensor to obtain pressure changes. If the air pressure drops below the pressure holding range during the pressure holding process, it indicates an air leak. The extension of the second cylinder 7 can be controlled by the solenoid valve to drive the dotting punch 8 to make dotting marks on the outer wall of the housing 4.

[0035] In summary, the casing positioning and leak detection device disclosed in this utility model can locate the casing and seal both ends, facilitate rapid leak detection, improve the accuracy of side leakage results, and enhance adaptability to different casing models.

[0036] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
