TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile parts, especially a double-wheel driving mechanism self-adapting to road surface. BACKGROUND

[0002] Since the truck needs to bear a considerable weight, the rear wheels are often designed to be composed of two tires in parallel, which can increase the bearing capacity. Moreover, the design can provide better stability when the truck is running, reduce the wear rate of the tires, and enhance the driving safety.

[0009] Preferably, the cylindrical wheel end flange is spaced apart and sleeved outside the wheel shaft. That is, the wheel end flange and the wheel shaft have a gap in the axial direction.

[0010] When the vehicle is advancing, the wheel shaft rotates to drive the wheel end flange to rotate around the wheel shaft axis, the wheel end flange rotates relative to the axle under the action of the bearing, the wheel end flange rotation drives the hub connecting piece to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the side-by-side wheels to rotate, realizing the vehicle advancing.

[0011] Since the side-by-side wheels, the hub connecting piece, the wheel end flange, the front end transmission shaft, the bearing and the hub bearing mounting seat are connected to form a whole, the hub connecting piece is connected with the front end transmission shaft through the wheel end flange, and the front end transmission shaft and the shaft body are connected through the spherical hinge mechanism; when the road surface is uneven or has pits, the whole structure swings (small angle rotation) around the wheel end shaft, realizes the side-by-side wheels swinging around the wheel end shaft, and keeps the shaft body and the axle stable.

[0012] The utility model discloses the beneficial effects are:

[0013] The utility model discloses the same as traditional axle can realize the basis of power drive and braking, and the wheel set can also swing a certain angle relative to the axle, thereby effectively avoiding single wheel stress and other harsh working conditions, reducing the loss of wheel, prolonging the service life of wheel.

[0014] Compared with the traditional axle, the utility model has the advantages of:

[0015] 1, increase the rotation swing mechanism between the axle and the hub flange, thereby realizing the swing between the wheel and the axle;

[0017] 3, compared with the transmission shaft of traditional axle, the spherical hinge mechanism is added in the middle, avoids losing power when the wheel set rotates.

[0018] 4, the brake system assembly can be the drum brake of traditional axle, also can be disc brake. DRAWINGS
