[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. 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.
[0026] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 A durability testing fixture for a spring-loaded sealing membrane includes a fixed component and a movable component. The movable component and the fixed component are respectively provided with fixing parts capable of fixing the inner and outer edges of the sealing membrane 14. In this embodiment, the sealing membrane 14 is generally annular. One end of the movable component extends into the fixed component and slides within it, while the other end is connected to a driving component. The driving component can drive the movable component to reciprocate relative to the fixed component, thereby achieving the stretching of the sealing membrane 14 and testing its durability. The movable component is connected to the piston rod of the driving component via at least one ball-head structure. The ball-head structure includes a movable ball head and a ball head seat. The ball head seat can cover the ball head and provide it with a certain range of movement trajectory. The ball head is fixedly connected to the end of the piston rod facing the movable component, and the ball head seat is fixedly connected to the end of the movable component facing the piston rod. The ball-head structure can prevent changes in the force transmission direction caused by the offset of the piston rod or the positional shift of the driving component, thereby avoiding the offset of the movable component caused by external driving.
[0027] The movable part and the fixed part are coaxially arranged. One end of the movable part extends into the inner cavity of the fixed part and can form a closed cavity structure with the inner cavity of the fixed part. The fixed part is connected to an air nozzle (not shown in the figure) that communicates with the cavity, which can realize the inflation and burst test of the sealing membrane.
[0028] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The fixing components include an upper pressure cover 2, a base 1, a sealing membrane outer pressure ring 13, and a graphite copper sleeve 3, all coaxially arranged. The upper pressure cover 2 is located at the end of the base 1 facing the driving component. The base 1 has a mating step adapted to the upper pressure cover 2, allowing the upper pressure cover 2 to snap into the mating step. The sealing membrane outer pressure ring 13 is disposed between the upper pressure cover 2 and the base 1. In this embodiment, the sealing membrane outer pressure ring 13 is fixed within the mating step. The upper pressure cover 2 is connected and fastened to the base 1 by bolts, clamping the sealing membrane outer pressure ring 13 between the upper pressure cover 2 and the base 1. Both the upper pressure cover 2 and the base 1 have bolt holes adapted to the bolts. In this embodiment, three bolts are used as an example. The three bolts are distributed at equal angles. Of course, other numbers of bolts can also be used, and it is not limited to this. The upper cover 2 and the base 1 are provided with through holes that are adapted to the moving parts, so as to satisfy the movement of the moving parts in the upper cover 2 and the base 1. The outer pressure ring 13 of the sealing film is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the sealing film 14. The bottom of the outer pressure ring 13 of the sealing film is provided with a mounting groove that is generally arranged in a Z-shape. The outer edge of the sealing film 14 is inserted into the mounting groove. The base 1 is provided with a through hole 15 that communicates with the outside. One end of the through hole 15 is connected to the inner cavity of the base 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the sealing film 14.
[0029] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The moving parts include a connecting rod 5, a slider 4, a locking nut 6, a sealing membrane support 11, and a sealing membrane inner pressure ring 12. The connecting rod 5 is fixed to the sealing membrane support 11 by a positioning step arranged around its circumference. The sealing membrane inner pressure ring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the sealing membrane support 11. The connecting rod 5 passes through the slider 4 and is threaded to the locking nut 6 at the end facing the drive component. Tightening the locking nut 6 can make the sealing membrane inner pressure ring 12 and the sealing membrane support 11 have an interference fit. The sealing membrane inner pressure ring 12 is connected to the inner edge of the sealing membrane 14. The bottom of the sealing membrane inner pressure ring 12 has a roughly Z-shaped mounting groove. The inner edge of the sealing membrane 14 is inserted into the mounting groove. The mounting grooves of the sealing membrane inner pressure ring 12 and the sealing membrane outer pressure ring 13 form a fixing part.
[0030] In this embodiment, the driving component is an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic cylinder. Its telescopic end is connected to a connector 10. The connector 10 is a piston rod structure of a hydraulic cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. The driving component can also be a linear module in the prior art, or other structures that can achieve linear drive. There are two ball head structures, namely ball head one 7 and ball head two 9. The connector 10 is connected to one end of the connecting rod two 8 through ball head two 9. The other end of the connecting rod two 8 is connected to one end of the connecting rod one 5 through ball head one 7. Ball head two 9 is fixed at the end of the connector 10. One end of the connecting rod two 8 that mates with ball head two 9 is provided with a ball head seat that is adapted to ball head two 9. The other end of the connecting rod two 8 is fixedly connected to ball head one 7.
