Therefore, the ball joint located on the motion transmission element (10) (30) maintaining the working position of the connection and its placement inside the body (20) It is important that it continues. The ball joint (30) connection in question transmits motion. It allows the element (10) to adapt to different angular movements and the system 10 It forms the articulated connection needed during the operation. There is at least one ball joint (30) on the motion transmission element (10). Ball joint (30), Motion articulated between the transmission element (10) and the suspension or steering component. It provides connectivity and allows the transmission of angular movements that occur during operation. 15 It provides different ball joints (30) thanks to the axle (31) part located on it. It counteracts the forces coming from the directions and transmits the motion through the motion transmission element (10). It ensures that the motion is transferred to the relevant component. The body of the motion transmission element (10) (20) It has at least one circular opening for inserting the ball joint (30). The ball joint (30), It is passed through the aforementioned circular opening and attached to the body (20) 20 by means of a nailing process. It is connected. The ball joint (30) has at least one lower bearing (32) which makes contact with the body (20). It includes. The lower bearing (32) supports the placement of the ball joint (30) inside the housing (20) and It forms the contact surface between the ball joint (30) and the body (20). In Figure 1, the exit of the ball joint (30) from the circular opening inside the body (20) in the previous technique is shown. The image shows a ribbed, tight-fitting application used to prevent this. In practice, the ball joint (30) is tightened into the circular opening via the serrated structure on its outer surface. It is passed through in this way and fixed by being nailed to the body (20). The serrated surface is connected with the ball joint (30). It provides grip between the body (20) and the ball joint (30) during operation. It helps prevent separation. Figure 2 shows another 30 known from the previous technique. The segmented structure, which is the application, is shown. In this application, the ball joint (30) is attached to the body (20) Safety ring between ball joint (30) connection and body (20) to maintain its position. is used and the segment, ball joint (30) is positioned within the circular opening. It supports. However, in these structures, the grip of the ball joint (30) inside the body (20) is tight. 35 depending on the penetration force, the holding effect of the serrated surface, or the segment remaining in place This is due to manufacturing tolerances, variations in assembly force, material fatigue, and Due to repeated loads, the connection may weaken over time. In this case, the ball joint (30) The position of the body (20) inside the body can change, a gap can be created and the ball joint (30) There is a risk of separation from the trunk (20). In Figure 3, according to the design of the invention, the ball joint (30) is mounted to the body (20) before A representative cross-sectional view of the lower bed (32) is given. Figure 6 shows the post-assembly view. It is shown on the lower bed (32), on the lower surface of the vertical wall (21) of the body (20). (211) There is a lower extension (321) that is positioned to lean against. The mentioned lower extension (321) will be placed on the lower surface (21) of the vertical wall (21) when the assembly process is completed. sitting and the lower bed (32) on the central axis (o) towards the body (I) upwards (I) (20) prevents it from moving. The lower face of the vertical wall (21) of the lower extension (321) 10 (211) to come into contact with the ball joint (30) during assembly. This is achieved by the process. The central axis (o) mentioned here is the extension of the ball joint (30). It is an axis assumed to pass through the center of the circular opening, in the direction of the vertical wall. (21) is the wall that forms the perimeter of the circular opening. On the motion transmission element (10), horizontal wall (22) extending perpendicular to the vertical wall (21) forming the perimeter of the circular opening 15 It is located. The aforementioned horizontal wall (22) is where the ball joint (30) of the body (20) is mounted. It forms the general surface area of ​​the region and extends around the circular opening. Circle around the central axis (o) on the upper face of the lower bed (32) facing the lover (31). an opening in the form of a channel carved downwards (II) (322) 20 It is located. The lower bed (32) is on the far edge of the mouth (322) from the central axis (o). It includes an upper extension (323) located in the center. The aforementioned upper extension (323) is the center. It extends outwards from the axis (o). The upper extension (323) is shaped like the horizontal wall (22). It has the equivalent form and thus, when the assembly is completed, the body (20) is horizontal It comes into contact with the wall (22) by overlapping it one-to-one. During the insertion of the ball joint (30), the bottom 25 With the force applied to the bed (32), the material located in the mouth (322) region is pushed outwards. It is being oriented and the upper extension (323) is being positioned to sit on the horizontal wall (22). The aforementioned conjugate form essentially arises from this process. With the defined structure... The upper extension (323) is directed downwards (II) towards the body on the central axis (o) of the lower bearing (32). (20) creates a second locking surface that prevents it from moving. Bottom 30 With the extension (321) resting on the lower face (211) of the vertical wall (21) upwards (I) While movement is restricted, the upper extension (323) leans against the horizontal wall (22) and downwards (II) Correct movement is prevented. As the upper extension (323) moves away from the central axis (o) It has a narrowing cross-section. 35 Thanks to this structure, the lower bearing (32) is held on the body (20) from two different directions and the ball joint (30) its position within the circular opening is preserved. The horizontal wall of the upper extension (323) 6 Contact with (22) prevents the connection from being solely dependent on the tight fit effect. and an additional mechanical system to prevent the lower bearing (32) from separating from the housing (20) under repeated loads. It provides resistance. The mentioned upper extension (323) is the upper part of the fuselage (20) after assembly. a holding zone that extends towards the surface or locks in the same plane as the horizontal wall (22) This creates and this holding area is exposed to the ball joint (30) during operation 5 displacement of the lower bearing (32) under impact, vibration and tensile forces It limits it. Thus, the lower bed (32) is the central axis (o) within the circular opening. is kept fixed in this direction and loosening of the ball joint (30) connection creates a gap or is prevented from coming out of the body (20). According to all these explanations, the invention is a movement in which the ball joint (30) is prevented from coming out of place. transmission element (10) and a method for its manufacture and assembly. According to the method, the lower bearing which first makes contact between the ball joint (30) and the body (20) is placed. (32) is being prepared and circled around the central axis (o) on the upper face of the lower bed (32). an opening in the form of a channel carved downwards (II) (322) 15 is created. The mentioned mouth (322) is the lower bed (32) during the nailing process. the orientation of the material outwards from the central axis (o) and the upper extension (323) It is formed in such a way as to allow shaping. Then the ball joint (30), body (20) is placed in the circular opening on the central axis (o) and The lower bearing (32) is connected to the body (20) by means of a bolting process. The lower bearing (20) is connected to the body (20) by means of a bolting process. tight fit connection between bed (32) and the vertical wall (21) of the circular opening is provided and the friction force generated in this region is on the central axis (o) of the lower bearing (32) an additional gripping effect occurs which restricts its movement relative to the trunk (20) in that direction. It brings. During the mounting process, the lower extension (321) located on the lower bearing (32) is attached to the body (20) It is positioned to rest against the lower surface (211) of the vertical wall (21) of the circular opening. In this position, the lower extension (321) is directed upwards (I) towards the body on the central axis (o) of the lower bearing (32). (20) prevents the lower bearing from moving. During the same mounting process, (32) formed by the mouth (322) created on the upper surface and the mouth (322) from the central axis (o) 30 The upper extension (323) located on the far edge undergoes plastic deformation. Upper extension (323) spreads outwards from the central axis (o) with the applied impact force, on the body (20) becomes equivalent to the shape of the horizontal wall of the circular opening (22) and the aforementioned It rests against the horizontal wall (22). The upper extension (323) rests against the horizontal wall (22) from above. with the movement of the lower bearing (32) downwards (II) on the central axis (o) relative to the body (20) 35 is prevented. Thus, with a single hammering operation, the lower bed (32) and the lower extension (321) horizontally over the lower surface of the vertical wall (21) (211) and over the upper extension (323) 7 It is locked to the wall (22). Thanks to this method, the ball joint (30) is mounted to the body (20). No additional segment placement or separate coating process is required during this process. A double-stage mechanical locking is achieved without the need for a ball joint. When assembly is complete, the ball joint... (30) is limited in the circular opening inside the body (20) in the upward and downward directions, Under repeated loads, vibrations and impact effects, the position of the lower bearing (32) relative to the housing (20) is 5 This prevents the ball joint (30) from separating from the body (20) and reduces the risk of separation. This increases the connection strength of the motion transmission element and extends its service life. This helps reduce maintenance and warranty-related costs.
