Embodiment 1

[0035] see figure 1 , image 3 , the drive axle half shaft for a vehicle of the present invention is also called the half shaft for a wheel-side reduction axle, and includes a shaft body 41 and splines 42 located at both ends of the shaft body. The outer circular surface of the shaft body 41 is provided There is a helical structure 8, and the direction of rotation of the helical structure 8 is determined by the rotation direction when the shaft body 41 drives the driving axle and the vehicle forward and the direction of the fluid in the helical structure 8 flowing to the final drive side according to the left and right hand rules . That is, the direction of rotation of the helical structure 8 is determined by the direction of rotation of the axle shaft 4 and the direction in which the helical structure delivers lubricating oil when the wheel on the drive axle rotates forward. as in image 3 Among them, the half shaft 4 on the right side of the final drive 1 is the right ha...

Embodiment 2

[0047] see figure 2 , image 3 , the vehicle drive axle half shaft is a semi-floating half shaft 4 on the right side of the oil-lubricated drive axle, and the half shaft 4 includes a shaft body 41, a key joint at one end of the shaft body and a flange 43 at the other end of the shaft body , the key connection part is a spline, and a helical structure 8 is provided on the outer surface of the shaft body 41. The double-headed spiral rib on the outer surface, the spiral rib is set on the side near the wheel end in the middle of the half shaft 4, and the spiral rib is fixed on the outer surface of the shaft body 41 by bonding Copper metal wire, the diameter of the wire, that is, the height of the spiral rib is 2 mm, generally controlled below 4 mm, and the cross-sectional shape of the spiral rib is circular, or rectangular, conical. shape, trapezoid or semicircle. Other structures of this embodiment are basically the same as those of Embodiment 1.

Embodiment 3

[0049] see figure 1 , image 3 , the vehicle drive axle half shaft is the full floating half shaft 4 on the right side of the wheel reduction axle, including the shaft body 41 and the splines 42 located at both ends of the shaft body 41, which are arranged on the outer circular surface of the shaft body 41 A helical structure 8 is provided, the direction of rotation of the helical structure 8 is left-handed, and the helical structure 8 is a single-headed helical groove hovering on the outer surface of the shaft body 41, and the helical groove is arranged on the half shaft At the corresponding length position of the shaft body 41 on the shaft tube 6 and the shaft tube 6, the cross-sectional shape of the spiral groove is a semicircular groove, or a rectangular groove, a tapered groove or a trapezoidal groove.

[0050] The depth of the spiral groove is about 1-4 mm, generally controlled below 4 mm, and it should be ensured that the maximum outer diameter of the spiral groove is...

Abstract

The invention discloses an axle shaft for an automobile drive axle, and belongs to the axle shaft for the automobile drive axle of an oil lubricating structure. The axle shaft comprises a shaft body (41) and key connecting parts located at the two ends of the shaft body (41), or, the axle shaft comprises the shaft body (41), a key connecting part located at one end of the shaft body (41) and a flange (43) located at the other end of the shaft body (41). A spiral structure (8) is arranged on the outer surface of the shaft body (41), and when the shaft body (41) rotates for driving a wheel hub (7) and an automobile to move forwards, the direction of conveying lubricating liquid with the spiral structure (8) is pointed to one side of a main speed reducer (1). The axle shaft for the automobile drive axle is simple in structure, novel in design, easy and convenient to manufacture and capable of keeping the oil amount of each cavity stable, guarantees that all components are lubricated thoroughly, especially has good oil gas exhausting and cooling effects on a wheel end mechanism (2), effectively prolongs the service life of a drive axle system, and is applicable to all automobile drive axles adopting oil lubrication.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a drive axle half shaft, in particular to a vehicle drive axle half shaft with an oil lubricating structure at the wheel end. Background technique [0002] The drive axle is at the end of the power train, and the torque from the engine is transmitted to the drive wheels through the drive axle to realize the rotation of the wheels. For single-stage drive axles, oil lubrication is mainly used for wheel end bearings. For wheel-side reduction drive axles, both hub bearings and wheel-side reducers need to be considered for oil lubrication. [0003] Existing drive axles such as the wheel side reduction drive axle of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., such as Figure 4 , mainly including the main reducer 1, the wheel end mechanism 2, the drive axle housing 3, the half shaft 4, the driven bevel gear 5, the shaft tube 6 and the hub 7, and the said main reducer 1 includes the driving bevel gear and the driven cone The gear 5 and the...
