Embodiment Construction

[0019] with reference to the attached figure 1 , an exemplary vehicle having a housing assembly (eg, axle housing assembly) constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present disclosure is generally indicated by the reference numeral 10 . Vehicle 10 may have a powertrain 12 and a driveline or drivetrain 14 . The power system 12 may be constructed in a conventional manner and may include a power source 16 and a transmission 18 . Power source 16 may be configured to provide propulsion power and may include, for example, an internal combustion engine and / or an electric motor. The transmission 18 may receive propulsion power from the power source 16 and may output power to the driveline 14 . The transmission 18 may have multiple automatically or manually selected gear ratios. In the particular example provided, driveline 14 has a two-wheel rear-wheel drive configuration, but those skilled in the art will understand that the teachings of the present disclosure are appli...

Abstract

An assembly that includes a tube mount, a tube, a first fillet weld, and a second fillet weld. The tube mount has a tubular side wall, a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart notches formed on a first end of the tubular side wall, and a securing aperture formed through the tubular side wall. The notches form a plurality of teeth. The tube is received into the tube mount. The first fillet weld couples the tube to the tube mount. The first fillet weld is formed about a perimeter the first end such that each of the first welds is formed substantially completely over the entirety of the teeth. The second fillet weld couples the tube to the tube mount. The second fillet weld is formed about a perimeter of the securing aperture such that the second fillet weld is formed substantially completely over an inside perimeter of the securing aperture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to housing assemblies. Background technique [0002] This section provides background information related to the disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. [0003] A conventional "one-piece" axle housing assembly is disclosed in US Patent No. 2,674,783. The axle housing assembly includes a housing center section and a pair of tubular bushings. The housing central section comprises two housing members which are butt welded together along their adjoining edges. Each tubular sleeve is welded to a respective lateral end of the shell central section (eg, via a fillet or girth weld). [0004] While such axle housing assemblies are satisfactory for their intended purposes, axle assemblies and more generally housing assemblies leave room for improvement. Contents of the invention [0005] This section provides an overview of the disclosure, rather than a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all of its features...
