Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of truck drive axle repair technology, and in particular to a positioning device for truck drive axle repair. Background Technology
[0002] While bearing the vehicle load, the truck drive axle can also brake through the braking mechanism installed on it. During use, the truck drive axle may fracture due to strength fatigue. The fracture site is mainly at the connection between the bearing and the bearing housing. After the fracture, the truck drive axle needs to be repaired.
[0003] The traditional repair method involves measuring the cutting position on the bearing housing of the truck drive axle, making a cut at the cutting position, and then welding the axle sleeve (including the integrated structure of the bearing housing and bearing) to the cutting position to complete the repair. However, during the welding process, it is necessary to ensure the coaxiality of the axle sleeve and the truck drive axle. If the axle sleeve and the truck drive axle are not coaxial during the welding process, it will affect the repair quality of the truck drive axle and affect the driving experience of the truck. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a positioning device for repairing truck drive axles.
[0005] In one aspect, the present invention provides a positioning device for repairing a truck drive axle, comprising a first chuck, a second chuck, a connecting rod, a length adjusting sleeve, a locking sleeve, a clamping sleeve, a first connecting sleeve, a second connecting sleeve, and a third connecting sleeve, wherein...
[0006] A first chuck has a first through hole in its center, through which it is fitted onto the bearing seat of the truck drive axle. Multiple first fixing holes are spaced at intervals around the center of the first through hole on the first chuck. A second chuck has a second through hole and a second fixing hole at corresponding positions to the first through hole and the first fixing hole on the first chuck. One end of a first connecting sleeve is located within the second through hole. The second and third connecting sleeves are stepped cylindrical, with the second connecting sleeve fitted inside the first connecting sleeve and the third connecting sleeve fitted inside the second connecting sleeve. The thinner sections of the second and third connecting sleeves are close to the second chuck. A locking sleeve includes a straight section and force-applying rods spaced at intervals on the outer wall of the first end of the straight section. The second end of the cylindrical section passes through the second chuck and is threadedly connected to the thin cylindrical section of the second connecting sleeve; the clamping sleeve includes a straight cylindrical section and a tapered cylindrical section, with multiple deformation slots spaced apart on the straight cylindrical section and the tapered cylindrical section. The clamping sleeve is fitted onto the bearing of the half-shaft sleeve. The clamping sleeve passes through the second chuck with the end of the straight cylindrical section and is threadedly connected to the thin cylindrical section of the third connecting sleeve, and the outer surface of the tapered cylindrical section abuts against the locking sleeve so that the clamping sleeve clamps the bearing of the half-shaft sleeve; the connecting rod passes through the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole at the corresponding positions and connects to the first chuck and the second chuck. The length adjusting sleeve is fitted onto the connecting rod to adjust the distance between the truck drive axle and the half-shaft sleeve. Locking nuts are provided at both ends of the connecting rod to make the truck drive axle and the half-shaft sleeve abut against each other.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: During the repair process, the locking sleeve is first screwed into the second connecting sleeve, then the clamping sleeve is placed on the bearing of the half-shaft sleeve and screwed into the third connecting sleeve. Then, the locking sleeve is rotated in the opposite direction so that the locking sleeve abuts against the tapered section in the clamping sleeve to lock the clamping sleeve and the bearing in the half-shaft sleeve. The first chuck is fitted onto the bearing seat in the truck drive axle. Then, the connection between the first chuck and the second chuck is completed by the connecting rod. During the connection process, the distance between the truck drive axle and the half-shaft sleeve is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the length of the sleeve. Finally, the locking nuts are screwed into both ends of the connecting rod to achieve coaxial fixation between the truck drive axle and the half-shaft sleeve, ensuring the coaxiality of the two during the repair process and improving the repair quality.
[0008] Optionally, bolt holes are provided on the first chuck at positions corresponding to the bolt holes on the brake disc in the truck drive axle, and the first chuck and the brake disc are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0009] Optionally, it also includes a positioning sleeve, which includes a positioning ring. The positioning ring has multiple locking screws that pass through the positioning ring and point to the center of the positioning ring at intervals. The positioning ring has multiple ear plates. The positioning sleeve is fitted onto the brake disc of the truck drive axle, and the positioning sleeve is made coaxial with the brake disc by adjusting the locking screws. A third through hole is opened on the first chuck at the corresponding position of the ear plate on the positioning sleeve. The first chuck and the positioning sleeve are fixedly connected by the ear plate, the third through hole and bolts.
[0010] Optionally, it also includes a diameter adjusting sleeve fitted on the half-shaft sleeve bearing, and a clamping sleeve fitted on the diameter adjusting sleeve. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this invention are used to explain the invention, but are not intended to limit the invention.
[0019] See Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a positioning device for repairing a truck drive axle, comprising a first chuck 1, a second chuck 2, a connecting rod 3, a length adjusting sleeve 4, a locking sleeve 5, a clamping sleeve 6, a first connecting sleeve 7, a second connecting sleeve 8, and a third connecting sleeve 9, wherein...
[0020] The first chuck 1 has a first through hole 10 in the middle, and the first chuck 1 is sleeved on the bearing seat 12 of the truck drive axle 11 through the first through hole. Multiple first fixing holes 13 are spaced apart on the first chuck 1 with the center of the first through hole 10 as the center. The second chuck 2 has a second through hole 14 and a second fixing hole 15 at corresponding positions to the first through hole 10 and the first fixing holes 13 on the first chuck 1. One end of the first connecting sleeve 7 is disposed in the second through hole 14. The second connecting sleeve 8 and the third connecting sleeve 9 are stepped cylindrical. The second connecting sleeve 8 is sleeved inside the first connecting sleeve 7, and the third connecting sleeve 9 is sleeved inside the second connecting sleeve 8. The thinner sections of the second connecting sleeve 8 and the third connecting sleeve 9 are close to the second chuck 2. The locking sleeve 5 includes a straight section and force-applying rods spaced apart on the outer wall of the first end of the straight section. The second end of the straight section passes through the second chuck 2 and is threadedly connected to the thin section of the second connecting sleeve 8; the clamping sleeve 6 includes a straight section and a tapered section, with multiple deformation slots spaced apart on the straight section and the tapered section. The clamping sleeve 6 is mounted on the bearing of the half-shaft sleeve 16. The clamping sleeve 6 passes through the second chuck 2 with the end of the straight section and is threadedly connected to the thin section of the third connecting sleeve 9. The outer side of the tapered section abuts against the locking sleeve 5, so that the clamping sleeve 6 clamps the bearing of the half-shaft sleeve 16. The connecting rod 3 passes through the first fixing hole 13 and the second fixing hole 15 at the corresponding positions and connects to the first chuck 1 and the second chuck 2. The length adjusting sleeve 4 is mounted on the connecting rod 3 to adjust the distance between the truck drive axle 11 and the half-shaft sleeve 16. Locking nuts 17 are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 3 to make the truck drive axle 11 and the half-shaft sleeve 16 abut against each other.
[0021] In practice, in order to enhance the stability of the connection between the overall device and the truck drive axle, bolt holes are provided on the first chuck 1 at the corresponding positions of the bolt holes on the brake disc 18 in the truck drive axle 11, and the first chuck 1 and the brake disc 18 are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0022] In practice, the diameters of the bearing housings in different models of truck drive axles 11 are not entirely the same. To accommodate bearing housings of different diameters, one approach is to provide a first chuck 1 with a first through hole 10 of different diameters. However, this approach undoubtedly increases costs. The inventors of this application have discovered that the brake disc 18 in different models of truck drive axles 11 is roughly the same in size. Based on this, another approach may include a positioning sleeve 19, which includes a positioning ring 20 with multiple positioning rings spaced apart. A locking screw 21 passes through the positioning ring 20 and points to the center of the positioning ring 20. The positioning ring 20 is provided with multiple ear plates 22. The positioning sleeve 19 is fitted onto the brake disc 18 of the truck drive axle 11. The positioning sleeve 19 and the brake disc 18 are made coaxial by adjusting the locking screw 21. A third through hole 23 is opened on the first chuck 1 at the corresponding position of the ear plate 22 on the positioning sleeve 19. The first chuck 1 and the positioning sleeve 19 are fixedly connected by the ear plate 22, the third through hole 23 and bolts. This is used to repair different models of truck drive axles.
[0023] In practice, it may also include a diameter adjustment sleeve 24 fitted on the bearing of the half-shaft sleeve 16, and a clamping sleeve 6 fitted on the diameter adjustment sleeve 24; a through groove may be opened on the diameter adjustment sleeve 24 as an expansion joint to facilitate clamping, and the half-shaft sleeve 16 of different diameters can be adapted to the clamping sleeve 6 through the diameter adjustment sleeve 24.
[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
