Its power output end is connected to the test frame, driving the test frame to sink into or rise from the test chamber 10. The sealing plate 70 is vertically arranged, connected to the test frame, and has an air supply interface 71. 1. Suitable for connection with a gas source, one side of the sealing plate 70 is suitable for sealing and abutting against the top of the tank body, and the other side is suitable for sealing and abutting against the bottom of the tank cover. The sealing plate 70 has an air passage 72 that connects to the gas supply interface 71 and the two sides, which is used to fill the tank body and the tank cover with gas.

[0037] The beneficial effects of the pressure testing device for aluminum cans provided in this embodiment of the present invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the pressure testing device for aluminum cans provided in this embodiment of the present invention uses two clamps to simultaneously clamp the bottle body and bottle cap onto the sealing plate 70 and fix them onto the test frame. Then, the lifting assembly drives the bottle body and bottle cap on the test frame to sink below the liquid surface in the test chamber 10, and gas is simultaneously injected into the bottle body and bottle cap through the air passage 72 in the sealing plate 70 to ensure that the pressure inside the bottle body and bottle cap is the same.

[0040] Specifically, the piston rod of the first cylinder 31 extends, and the test frame is taken out of the test chamber 10, which facilitates the installation of the bottle body and cap on the test frame. Then, the piston rod of the first cylinder 31 is retracted, the test frame moves downward, and the bottle body and cap sink below the liquid surface in the test chamber 10.
[0041] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, in a specific embodiment of the can pressurization and leak testing device provided in this utility model, the lifting assembly further includes two guide mechanisms, which are respectively located on both sides of the first cylinder 31 and connected to the test box 10 and the test frame.

One end of the guide rod 32 is fixedly connected to the test frame so that the lifting and lowering of the test frame is more stable.
[0043] As shown in Figure 1, in a specific embodiment of the pressure leak testing device for beverage cans provided in this utility model, the clamp includes a driving component and a pressure plate 43. The driving component is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 22, and the pressure plate 43 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the driving component. It is suitable for approaching or moving away from the sealing plate 70 under the drive of the driving component. The adsorption mechanism is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure plate 43 facing the sealing plate 70.
[0044] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, in one specific embodiment of the pressure leak testing device for beverage cans provided in this utility model, the driving component includes a second cylinder 41 and a safety valve 42. The second cylinder 41 is connected to the mounting plate 22, and the piston rod of the second cylinder 41 is connected to the pressure plate 43; the safety valve 42 is connected to the second cylinder 41.
[0045] It should be noted that the safety valve 42 is connected to the rodless chamber of the second cylinder 41 and is used to control and adjust the maximum pressure in the rodless chamber of the second cylinder 41, thereby controlling the maximum output pressure and preventing damage to the bottle body or cap.
[0046] As shown in Figure 1, in a specific embodiment of the pressure leak testing device for cans provided in this utility model, the pressure plate 43 has several grooves 44 on the side facing the sealing plate 70, so that the bottom space of the bottle body and the top space of the bottle cap can be connected with the outside, making the test more accurate.

The negative pressure suction cup 51 is connected to the pressure plate 43 and is adapted to communicate with a negative pressure source. The exhaust valve 52 is connected to the pressure plate 43 and communicates with the negative pressure suction cup 51.
[0048] Specifically, during the test, the test frame is first raised, and then the bottle body and cap are attached to the pressure plate 43 of the clamp by the negative pressure suction cup 51. Then, the piston rod of the second cylinder 41 is extended to clamp the bottle body and cap. Then, the exhaust valve 52 is opened to release the suction state of the negative pressure suction cup 51, so as to avoid the suction force of the negative pressure suction cup 51 from affecting the test results.
[0049] As shown in Figure 1, in a specific embodiment of the can pressure testing device provided in this utility model, the pressure sensor is a pressure gauge 60, which is connected to the sealing plate 70 and is used to detect the pressure inside the can and the can lid.
