[0002] The transfer case, also known as the automotive transmission case, middle axle, or rear axle transmission case, is a crucial component of the automotive transmission system. If the transfer case is not properly sealed, external dust, moisture, mud, and other impurities will enter the case and mix with the lubricating oil to form dirt, accelerating the wear of moving parts and reducing transmission efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to test its sealing performance.

[0003] Currently, among existing testing equipment, such as the patent with authorization announcement number CN217605206U, this utility model provides a quality inspector for a bridge box, which relates to the field of bridge boxes. It includes a testing pool with a cavity and a connecting frame.

Above the rotating shaft, there is a placement plate and a fastening assembly mounted on the placement plate, as well as a box cover placed between the placement plate and the fastening assembly.

[0004] However, during the use of the equipment, it was found that by detecting whether there were water ingress points on the outer wall of the cover, the equipment increased the likelihood of water erosion of the vehicle's bridge box, increased the complexity of drying and maintaining the bridge box, and reduced the convenience of use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a vehicle bridge box sealing test device that improves the convenience of bridge box sealing test and reduces the complexity of maintenance.

[0006] This utility model discloses a sealing performance testing device for an automotive bridge gearbox, comprising a base and a positioning platform. The positioning platform is mounted on the top of the base, and a groove matching the shape of the bottom of the automotive bridge gearbox is provided on the top of the positioning platform. It also includes a sealing device, a housing, a pressure gauge, and a booster pump. The housing is mounted on the outer wall of the base, and its top end communicates with the groove of the positioning platform. The pressure gauge is connected to the housing. The booster pump is mounted on the outer wall of the base, and its output end communicates with the housing. The sealing device is mounted on the base and is used to seal the working hole on the top of the automotive bridge gearbox, and also to press and fix the automotive bridge gearbox in place. The bridge gearbox is placed in the groove of the positioning platform. The working hole on the top of the bridge box is then sealed using a sealing device. Simultaneously, the sealing device presses the bridge box downwards to fix it in place. At this point, the bottom of the bridge box is tightly sealed against the groove of the positioning platform. Then, a booster pump pressurizes the box, and the pressure enters the bridge box through the groove of the positioning platform. The pressure inside the box is maintained for a period of time, and the pressure inside the box is monitored using a pressure gauge during this process. If there is no pressure change, it indicates that the bridge box is not leaking; if the pressure decreases, it indicates that the bridge box is leaking. This process improves the convenience of testing the sealing performance of the bridge box and reduces the complexity of maintenance.

[0007] Preferably, the sealing device includes a pressing device, a driving device, a bracket, an internal threaded assembly, a stud, a sealing plug, and multiple sets of guide posts. The bracket is mounted on the top of the base, the internal threaded assembly is rotatably mounted on the bracket, the upper part of the stud is screwed onto the internal threaded assembly, and the bottom end of the stud is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing plug. Multiple sets of guide posts are slidably mounted on the bracket, and the bottom ends of multiple sets of guide posts are connected to the top of the sealing plug. The bracket is equipped with a driving device that provides power for the rotation of the internal threaded assembly. When the bridge box is placed on the groove of the positioning platform, the driving device drives the internal threaded assembly to rotate. After the internal threaded assembly rotates, it drives the stud to move downward, thereby causing the stud to push the sealing plug downward to block the working hole at the top of the bridge box. At the same time, the pressing device presses the top of the bridge box downward, thereby fixing the position of the bridge box and sealing the bottom of the bridge box with the positioning platform, thus improving the convenience of testing the sealing performance inside the bridge box.

[0008] Preferably, the driving device includes a base, a worm, a worm wheel, and a motor. The base is mounted on the outer wall of the bracket, the worm is rotatably mounted on the base, the worm wheel is disposed on the outer wall of the internal thread assembly, and the worm wheel meshes with the worm. The motor is mounted on the outer wall of the base, and the output end of the motor is connected to the worm. The motor drives the worm to rotate, which in turn drives the internal thread assembly to rotate through meshing with the worm wheel. This causes the internal thread assembly to drive the stud to move up and down, improving the convenience of sealing the working hole at the top of the bridge box and enhancing the stability and reliability of the sealing.

[0009] Preferably, the pressing device includes a cylinder and a pressing plate. The cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the bracket, and the pressing plate is disposed on the moving end of the cylinder. The pressing plate is moved downward by the cylinder, so that the pressing plate presses and fixes the top of the bridge box.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a valve, which is connected to the housing; after the sealing test of the bridge box is completed, the valve is opened to improve the convenience of pressure release in the housing and the bridge box.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a sealing ring, which is disposed on the inner side wall of the groove of the positioning platform; by setting the sealing ring, the sealing effect between the groove of the positioning platform and the bottom of the bridge box is improved, thereby improving the accuracy of the sealing test of the bridge box.

[0012] Preferably, an electromagnet is provided inside the pressing plate; when the cylinder drives the pressing plate to move upward, the electromagnet attracts and moves the bridge box upward, improving the convenience of separating the bridge box from the positioning platform.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The bridge box is placed on the groove of the positioning platform, and then the working hole on the top of the bridge box is sealed by the sealing device. At the same time, the sealing device presses the bridge box down to fix it. At this time, the bottom of the bridge box and the groove of the positioning platform are tightly sealed. Then, the box is pressurized by the booster pump. The pressure enters the bridge box through the groove of the positioning platform. By maintaining the pressure in the box and the bridge box for a period of time, the pressure in the box is monitored by the pressure gauge during the pressure holding process. If there is no pressure change, it means that the bridge box is not leaking. If the pressure drops, it means that the bridge box is leaking. This improves the convenience of bridge box sealing detection and reduces the complexity of maintenance. Attached Figure Description
