[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of mechanical engineering and automotive parts, and specifically relates to a neoprene ball head dust cover with good weather resistance. Background Art
[0002] Ball heads are widely used in industries such as mechanical engineering and automobiles. For example, the ball pins used in automotive control arms are generally provided with dust covers outside to prevent dust and water in order to ensure the flexible rotation of the ball pins during operation.
[0003] During the use of the existing dust covers, the rotation and inclination of the ball pins often cause tension on the second flange part, resulting in an opening. At the same time, when the ball pins rotate, the outside of the dust covers will be rubbed by other objects. As the service life of the dust cover material decreases, the elasticity and wear resistance will be lost, resulting in the dust covers being broken or opened, affecting normal use. Summary of the Invention

The oil storage chamber is communicated with the oil injection hole and the oil outlet hole. When the cover body rotates with the ball pin and one side of the cover body is inclined, the oil storage chamber on the inclined side is pressed, so that the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber on the pressed side flows to the other side and is discharged from the oil outlet hole to lubricate the ball pin and reduce wear. And annular protrusions are evenly provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the cover body.
[0006] Preferably, an annular serrated groove is provided on the inner wall of the opening portion, and the annular serrated groove is located below the second exhaust passage.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0016] 1) By pressing the second exhaust protrusion and the first exhaust protrusion respectively, the present invention can discharge the gas in the second exhaust passage and the first exhaust passage, so that when the inner walls of the second opening portion and the first flange portion are in contact with the ball head pin, they can tightly adsorb on the outer wall of the ball head pin body, preventing the opening from occurring and improving the sealing performance.
[0017] 2) By providing a wear-resistant composite layer in the housing, and the wear-resistant composite layer has good wear resistance. When the outer ring of the dust cover is worn and cracked, the wear-resistant composite layer can ensure that the inner ring of the dust cover will not be worn and cracked, ensuring the sealing performance between the dust cover and the ball head pin.
[0018] 3) When the inner flange of the cover body of the present invention fits with the ball head pin, a sealed space is formed in the groove, which can prevent the loss of lubricating oil. At the same time, when the cover body rotates with the ball head pin and one side of the cover body is tilted, the oil storage chamber on the tilted side is pressurized, so that the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber on the pressurized side flows to the other side and is discharged from the oil outlet hole, thereby lubricating the ball head pin, reducing wear. The annular protrusion can reduce the contact area between the inner wall of the cover body and the ball head pin, reduce wear, effectively reduce the wear between the inside of the cover body and the outer wall of the shaft head pin, and extend the service life.

[0027] Embodiment:
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-5, the present invention provides a technical solution: a weather-resistant neoprene ball head dust cover, including a cover body 2 and a first flange portion 1 provided below the cover body 2. A second flange portion 3 is provided on the cover body 2, and the cover body 2, the first flange portion 1, and the second flange portion 3 are all integrally formed. An opening portion one and an opening portion two 4 are respectively formed in the first flange portion 1 and the second flange portion 3, and exhaust bumps one 7 and exhaust bumps two 6 are provided on both the first flange portion 1 and the second flange portion 3. Cavities are provided in both the exhaust bumps one 7 and the exhaust bumps two 6. An annular channel one 13 and an exhaust channel one 14 are provided in the first flange portion 1.

By pressing the exhaust bump two 6 and the exhaust bump one 7 respectively, the gas in the exhaust channel two 8 and the exhaust channel one 14 can be discharged. The cover body 2 is sleeved outside the ball head pin, so that the opening portion two 4 and the inner wall of the first flange portion 1 are attached to the outside of the ball head pin. When the exhaust bump two 6 and the exhaust bump one 7 are released, negative pressure is formed in the exhaust channel two 8 and the exhaust channel one 14, so that the opening portion two 4 and the inner wall of the first flange portion 1 can tightly adsorb on the outer wall of the ball head pin main body when they are attached to the ball head pin. A wear-resistant composite layer 11 is provided in the cover body 2, and the wear-resistant composite layer 11 includes at least one of steel wires 16 and cloth 15.
