[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of an electrical cavity airtightness testing fixture for an electronic water pump includes a base 100, a first fixing seat 300 for mounting a second clamping part 200, a second fixing seat 500 for mounting an electronic water pump 400, and a third fixing seat 700 for mounting a first clamping part 600. The first fixing seat 300, the second fixing seat 500, and the third fixing seat 700 are sequentially arranged on the base 100 along the axial direction. A first air inlet is provided on the first clamping part 600. In this embodiment, the first air inlet is preferably provided on the side wall of the first clamping part 600. A first air intake channel is provided inside the first clamping part 600, and the first air intake channel extends to the end of the first clamping part 600. When the end of the first clamping part 600 is radially sealed to the connector on the electronic water pump 400, the first air inlet channel is connected to the connector of the electronic water pump. Gas entering from the first air inlet will enter the electrical cavity of the electronic water pump through the connector via the first air inlet channel, thus ensuring that the first air inlet is connected to the electrical cavity of the electronic water pump. The second clamping part 200 is provided with a second air inlet 210, which includes, but is not limited to, being located at the top of the second clamping part 200. The second clamping part 200 is also provided with a second air inlet channel that communicates with the second air inlet 210. The second air inlet channel extends to the end of the second clamping part 200. When the end of the second clamping part 200 is axially sealed to the vent hole of the end cover of the electronic water pump, gas is supplied to the second air inlet 210. The gas enters the electrical cavity of the electronic water pump through the second air inlet 210 and the second air inlet channel. Both the first air inlet and the second air inlet 210 are connected to an airtightness testing device, wherein the airtightness testing device supplies the first air inlet and the second air inlet 210 with equal gas pressure.
[0027] During testing, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the electronic water pump to be tested is placed on the second fixed base 500 and fixed. Then, the end of the first clamping part 600 is radially sealed to the plug interface of the electronic water pump, and the end of the second clamping part 200 is axially sealed to the vent hole of the end cover of the electronic water pump. The airtightness testing device simultaneously supplies air at the same pressure to the first air inlet and the second air inlet 210 through the pipeline, so as to simultaneously pressurize the electrical cavity of the electronic water pump through the first air inlet and the second air inlet 210, and then maintain the pressure. The leakage of the electrical area of the electronic water pump can be measured by the testing device, thereby determining whether the electronic water pump is qualified.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping part 600 includes a first mounting base 610, a first push rod 620, and a first connecting part 630. The first mounting base 610 is fixed on the third fixed base 700. One end of the first connecting part 630 passes through the first mounting base 610 axially, allowing the first connecting part 630 to move back and forth axially. The outer side of the first push rod 620 is hinged to the first mounting base 610, and the inner side of the first push rod 620 is hinged to the end of the first connecting part 630. Rotating the first push rod 620 causes the first connecting part 630 to extend and retract axially. The end of the first connecting part 630 away from the first push rod 620 can be radially inserted into the electronic water pump connector. In this embodiment, the first push rod 620 can rotate around the X-axis and also around the Z-axis, as long as the first push rod 620 rotates towards the side closer to the third fixed base 700 to achieve locking. To ensure a sealing effect, a sealing ring is provided at the interface between the first connecting part 630 and the electronic water pump to achieve radial sealing of the connector.
[0029] Before testing, the first push rod 620 needs to be rotated away from the third fixed seat 700 to unlock it. At this time, the first connecting part 630 is in an axially movable state. Rotating the first push rod 620 towards the third fixed seat 700 will move the first connecting part 630 axially to the installation position. Then, the end of the first connecting part 630 is inserted radially into the electric water pump connector and fixed to achieve a sealing effect. At this time, under the action of the first push rod 620, the first connecting part 630 is in a locked state to prevent it from loosening during the test and affecting the sealing performance.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the second clamping part 200 includes a second mounting base 220, a second push rod 230, and a second connecting part 240. The second mounting base 220 is fixed on the first fixed base 300. One end of the second connecting part 240 passes through the second mounting base 220, allowing the second connecting part 240 to move back and forth along the axial direction. The inner side of the second push rod 230 is hinged to the second connecting part 240, and the outer side of the second push rod 230 is hinged to the second mounting base 220. Rotating the second push rod 230 causes the second connecting part 240 to perform telescopic movement, thereby realizing the connection of the second connecting part 240 with the vent hole of the electronic water pump along the axial direction. Preferably, the second push rod 230 rotates around the X-axis.
[0031] Before testing, the second push rod 230 is unlocked by rotating it clockwise around the X-axis, at which point the second connecting part 240 is in an axially movable state. Then, the second push rod 230 is rotated counterclockwise around the X-axis, causing it to move the second connecting part 240 axially until its end abuts against the end cover of the electric water pump, thus achieving a sealed connection between the end of the second connecting part 240 and the vent. At this point, under the action of the second push rod 230, the second connecting part 240 is locked, preventing loosening during testing that could affect the sealing performance.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second connecting part 240 includes an abutment part 241, a push plate 242, and a first movable rod 243. One end of the first movable rod 243 passes through the second mounting base 220 axially and is hinged to the second push rod 230. The other end of the first movable rod 243 is fixedly mounted on the push plate 242. Rotating the second push rod 230 can drive the first movable rod 243 to move axially. The abutment part 241 is adjustablely mounted on the push plate 242. The position of the abutment part 241 can be adjusted along the Z-axis and X-axis directions, so that the abutment part 241 connects with the vent of the electronic pump. A second air inlet 210 is provided on the abutment part 241, and a second air inlet channel is provided inside the abutment part 241, so that gas can connect with the vent from the second air inlet 210 through the second air inlet channel. Among them, a mounting groove 2411 is circumferentially provided at the connection between the abutment part 241 and the vent of the electronic water pump, and a sealing ring is provided in the mounting groove 2411.
[0033] In use, rotating the second push rod 230 causes the first movable rod 243 and the push plate 242 to move axially (i.e., in the Y-axis direction), thereby causing the abutment part 241 to abut against the end cover of the electronic water pump. The second air inlet 210 is connected to the vent hole of the electronic water pump through the second air inlet channel. At this time, the second push rod 230 is in a locked state, and the sealing ring abuts against the end cover of the electronic water pump and is in a compressed state to ensure a sealing effect and effectively improve the accuracy of airtightness testing.
[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the abutment part 241 has a groove 2412 at the end away from the vent of the electronic pump, and the groove 2412 is arranged along the X-axis direction. The groove 2412 can accommodate the fixing part 244 that connects the push plate 242 and the first movable rod 243, so as to avoid interference between the abutment part 241 and the fixing part 244 when the position of the abutment part 241 is finely adjusted along the X-axis and Z-axis directions.
[0035] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the second clamping part 200 also includes a guide part 250, which includes a third mounting base 251 and a second movable rod 252. The third mounting base 251 is disposed on the first fixed base 300, and the second movable rod 252 passes through the third mounting base 251 and is connected to the push plate 242, so that the push plate 242 can perform a stable telescopic movement along the axial direction.
[0036] In use, rotate the second push rod 230 to the locked state, so that the first movable rod 243 drives the push plate 242 to move axially, and the push plate 242 drives the second movable rod 252 to move axially. Under the guidance of the second movable rod 252, the abutment part 241 can stably connect with the vent hole of the electric water pump axially.
[0037] In one embodiment, the abutment portion 241 has a plurality of first adjustment holes 2413 on the surface where the groove 2412 is located, and the first adjustment holes 2413 are arranged in an array. The push plate 242 has a second adjustment hole 2421 corresponding to the first adjustment hole 2413, and the first adjustment hole 2413 and the second adjustment hole 2421 are perpendicular to each other. The first adjustment hole 2413 and the second adjustment hole 2421 are fixed together by a locking member (not shown in the figure).
[0038] In use, if there is a positional deviation between the abutment part 241 and the vent hole of the electronic water pump, the position of the abutment part 241 can be finely adjusted along the Y and Z axes by loosening the locking piece to ensure that the abutment part 241 can connect with the vent hole of the electronic water pump. After the position of the abutment part 241 is adjusted, the locking piece is tightened to fix the adjusted position of the abutment part 241.
[0039] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
