The structure adopts the layout of a plurality of clamp assemblies 8 which are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, so that the flange end of the breather valve is uniformly stressed, the stability and the reliability of the butt joint with the adapter flange 5 are further improved, for example, three clamp assemblies 8 which are distributed at 120 degrees are preferred, and the breather valve can be tightly pressed on the adapter flange 5. In addition, considering that the test bench 4 is of a tank structure, the upper end face of the test bench is subjected to load deformation and damage of the breather valve and the clamp assembly 8, so that the support frames 13 can be installed in the test bench 4 to structurally strengthen the upper end face of the test bench 4, and the number and the positions of the support frames 13 correspond to those of the clamp assembly 8.
Referring to fig. 6-7, the fixture assembly 8 includes a slide rail 801 fixedly disposed at an upper end of the test stand 4, a slide seat 802 slidably disposed on the slide rail 801, and a quick clamp 803 fixedly disposed above the slide seat 802, wherein a length direction of the slide rail 801 is perpendicular to and intersects an axial direction of the adapter flange 5, and a stop plate 804 is disposed at an end of the slide rail 801 away from the adapter flange 5.
The clamp assembly 8 adopts the quick clamp 803 to rapidly compress the breather valve on the adapter flange 5, the operation is convenient and efficient, and the position of the quick clamp 803 away from the adapter flange 5 can be flexibly adjusted through the cooperation of the slide seat 802 and the sliding rail 801 so as to be suitable for fixing breather valves with different calibers, and the anti-drop function of the stop plate 804 can prevent the slide seat 802 from moving out of the sliding rail 801. The specific structures of the sliding rail 801 and the sliding seat 802 are not limited, and only the sliding rail 801 and the sliding seat 802 need to slide along the radial direction of the adapter flange 5 and prevent axial separation, for example, the sliding rail 801 is in an inverted T-shaped structure, the sliding seat 802 is in an i-shaped structure, and the bottom of the sliding seat 802 is embedded into the sliding rail 801 to move.

When in use, a motor (shown in the drawing) drives one of the pulleys 24, and the synchronous belt 26 can synchronously drive each sliding seat 802 to synchronously approach or depart from the adapter flange 5, so as to drive the quick clamp 803 to automatically move to a proper position.

Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the upper end of the adapter flange 5 is provided with a sealing groove 5a, and a sealing ring 14 is installed in the sealing groove 5 a.
According to the structure, the sealing ring 14 is arranged on the adapter flange 5, the sealing ring 14 can be an O-shaped ring, so that a tiny gap between the flange end of the breather valve and the adapter flange 5 can be filled by the sealing ring 14, the leakage of air pressure at the butt joint position is avoided, and the accuracy of valve testing is further ensured.
Further, referring to fig. 8, the inner wall of the adapter flange 5 is provided with axially distributed bar holes 5b, a deflector rod 15 is inserted in the bar holes 5b, the middle part of the deflector rod 15 is rotationally connected with the bar holes 5b through a rotating shaft 16, the bottom of the seal groove 5a is provided with a through hole 5c communicated with the bar holes 5b, the through hole 5c is internally provided with a top block 17 connected with the deflector rod 15, and the top block 17 is positioned below the bottom of the seal groove 5a under the action of no external force.

Therefore, a plurality of leg assemblies can be optionally installed on the side of the test bench 4 for auxiliary matching, for example, three leg assemblies distributed at 120 degrees are preferable for anti-tilting support, and in specific use, the first adjusting rod 19 and the second adjusting rod 20 are unfolded for length adjustment to form a triangular structure, meanwhile, the supporting leg 21 is contacted with the ground to form anti-tilting support, and the rubber pad 22 below the supporting leg 21 can increase the friction force between the supporting leg 21 and the ground. In addition, if the test environment allows, screws can be arranged in the screw holes 21a, so that the supporting feet 21 are fixed on the ground, and the stability is further improved.
