Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Example 1: refer to Figure 1-5 A precision workpiece inspection fixture includes a base plate 1, a vertical plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, a first cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the front of the vertical plate 2, a U-shaped plate 4 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder 3, two sliding rods 5 fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped plate 4, a pressure plate 6 provided on the front of the U-shaped plate 4, the interior of the pressure plate 6 being slidably connected to the sliding rods 5, a second cylinder 7 fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped plate 4, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 7 being fixedly connected to the pressure plate 6, a surrounding plate 8 fixedly connected to the front of the vertical plate 2, the bottom of the surrounding plate 8 being fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and the bottom of the pressure plate 6 being fixedly connected to the base plate 1. A first rubber pad 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped plate 4. A detection plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped plate 4. Two first air passages 11 are opened on the front side of the detection plate 10. A second air passage 12 communicating with the first air passages 11 is opened on the top of the detection plate 10. A second rubber pad 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the detection plate 10. Both sides of the bottom of the second rubber pad 14 are integrally machined with protrusions 15.

[0016] Specifically, the device connects the air source pipe to the three-way quick connector 21 and adds water inside the enclosure 8. The workpiece is placed inside the limiting block 17 so that its bottom contacts the through hole. The second cylinder 7 drives the pressure plate 6 to slide along the slide rod 5, so that the first rubber pad 9 on the pressure plate 6 effectively seals the top of the workpiece. Then, the air source is turned on to pressurize the inside of the workpiece through the first air passage 11, the second air passage 12 and the air nozzle 16. Then, the first cylinder 3 is started to drive the U-shaped plate 4 to be immersed in water. It is possible to visually observe whether the workpiece has water bubbles due to air leakage, thereby realizing the rapid and accurate detection of the airtightness of the connection of precision workpieces. The fixture ensures that the pressurization process is smooth through the structural design of the air nozzle 16, effectively preventing the second rubber pad 14 from deforming and blocking the second air passage 12 when under pressure. At the same time, the installation method of the groove 13 and the protrusion 15 not only enhances the thickness of the connection between the second rubber pad 14 and the workpiece, but also significantly improves the sealing performance and service life, which is suitable for the airtightness detection needs of precision workpieces.

[0017] refer to Figure 3 Two limiting blocks 17 are provided on the front of the U-shaped plate 4. An installation bolt 18 is sleeved inside the limiting block 17. One end of the installation bolt 18 is threaded to the U-shaped plate 4. By setting the limiting block 17, the workpiece can be placed quickly.

[0018] refer to Figure 4 The first air passage 11 has an internal threaded connection to an L-shaped quick connector 19. One end of the L-shaped quick connector 19 is connected to an air pipe 20. The front of the detection plate 10 is provided with a three-way quick connector 21. The other end of the air pipe 20 is connected to the three-way quick connector 21. The three-way quick connector 21 facilitates quick connection with the air source pipe.

[0019] refer to Figure 2 The bottom plate 1 has an L-shaped drain hole 22 inside. One end of the L-shaped drain hole 22 is threaded to a control valve 23. By setting the L-shaped drain hole 22, water can be discharged.

[0020] refer to Figure 2 Guide rails 24 are fixedly connected to both sides of the front of the upright plate 2. Slider 25 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rails 24. The back of the U-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the slider 25. By setting the slider 25 and the guide rails 24, the U-shaped plate 4 can move stably.

The bottom of the reinforcing block 26 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The top of the upright plate 2 has a handle 27 fixedly connected to it. The bottom of the base plate 1 has a base 28 fixedly connected to both sides of its bottom. By setting the reinforcing block 26, the stability of the upright plate 2 can be effectively improved.

[0022] Brief description of usage: The user connects the air source pipe to the three-way quick connector 21, adds water inside the enclosure 8, and then places the workpiece inside the limiting block 17, with the bottom of the workpiece in contact with the through hole. The second cylinder 7 is activated to drive the pressure plate 6 to slide on the surface of the slide rod 5. At the same time, the pressure plate 6 drives the first rubber pad 9 to seal the top of the workpiece. The air source is opened to pressurize the inside of the workpiece through the first air passage 11, the second air passage 12, and the air nozzle 16. The first cylinder 3 is then activated to drive the U-shaped plate 4 into the water. It is possible to observe whether the workpiece leaks air or emits water bubbles, thus facilitating a quick test of the airtightness of the precision workpiece connection. By setting the air nozzle 16, the workpiece can be pressurized smoothly, preventing the second rubber pad 14 from being squeezed and deformed and blocking the second air passage 12. The groove 13 is used in conjunction with the protrusion 15 for installation. The protrusion 15 increases the thickness of the connection between the second rubber pad 14 and the workpiece, and also improves the sealing performance and service life of the second rubber pad 14.
