AI Technical Summary
Existing electric tailgate struts for automobiles have assembly gaps between the transmission gear and the lead screw shaft during extension and retraction, which causes swaying and noise. Furthermore, the tight fit between the transmission gear and the lead screw shaft can easily lead to lead screw bending, affecting the smoothness of use. At the same time, spring assembly is inconvenient.
The worm gear structure is used to achieve vertical transmission between the lead screw and the motor. The axial position is limited by the interference fit, and the limiting structure prevents disengagement. The flexible connection reduces noise and runout, and the tower spring simplifies assembly.
It effectively reduces transmission gear wobble and noise, improves the smoothness of use and structural strength of electric struts, and simplifies the assembly process.

[0068] It should be noted that the transmission wheel 5.32 is not limited to the worm gear 5.3, but can also be other transmission members capable of transmitting torque with the lead screw 3.1, such as a spur gear.
[0069] As preferred, the interference part 3.13 is arranged between the transmission part 3.12 and the output section 3.15 of the screw rod 3.1, so that the connecting piece 5.31 is in interference fit with the screw rod 3.1 in the assembly direction, and optionally, an external tool is used to apply a force of 1000N to the interference fit part 5.313, so that the screw rod 3.1 and the connecting piece 5.31 are in reliable and stable fit.
[0070] As can be seen from Figure 1 As can be seen from
[0071] Specifically, the input section 3.11 of the screw rod 3.1 is provided with a limiting groove 3.14, and the limiting piece 8 is clamped in the limiting groove 3.14 and abuts against the end of the connecting piece 5.31 in the axial first direction, wherein the limiting piece 8 can be a limiting ring, and another purpose of the limiting piece 8 is to limit the position of the screw rod 3.1 in the axial first direction, so as to prevent the screw rod 3.1 from being pulled out in the first direction.
[0072] As preferred, the axial length of the transmission part 3.12 on the input section 3.11 of the screw rod 3.1 is D1, and the axial length of the interference fit part 5.313 on the input section 3.11 of the screw rod 3.1 is D2, wherein the transmission part 3.12 covers the projection of the transmission wheel 5.32 in the radial direction, and the ratio of D1 to D2 satisfies 2-2.85.
[0073] It should be noted that the transmission part 3.12 is not limited to splines, but can also be a non-circular driving angle that can form transmission, such as a straight key or a polygonal key.

[0075] Optionally, the ratio of interference 3.132 to guide 3.131 is 2 to 2.5, and the ratio of the length of the interference part 3.13 to its interference outer diameter is 2:1.5. For example, the length of the interference part 3.13 is 4.5 mm and its outer diameter is 6 mm. The interference 3.132 and guide 3.131 are selected according to the outer diameters of the interference part 3.13 and the interference mating part 5.313.
[0076] Additionally, the end face of the limiting member 8 abuts against the connecting member 5.31 of the worm gear 5.3 to provide an interference fit. By setting the interference amount 3.132 and the guide amount 3.131 on the same interference part 3.13, the bearing pressure of the limiting member 8 is relatively reduced, effectively preventing damage to the limiting member 8 during the assembly process. At the same time, it also serves as a guide for the docking of the worm gear 5.3 with the input section 3.11 of the lead screw 3.1.
[0077] In this embodiment, the worm gear 5.3 is constrained to move within the housing 6. A gap is provided on any surface of the housing 6 corresponding to the worm gear 5.3 to avoid noise caused by vibration when the worm gear 5.3 contacts the inner wall of the housing 6.
[0078] (Motor 5.1 - Worm Gear 5.2 transmission)
[0079] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some other embodiments, further improvements are made to the motor 5.1 to address the noise issue in the transmission system formed by the motor 5.1 and the worm gear 5.3. A first adapter 5.4 is provided on the output end of the motor 5.1, and a second adapter 5.5 is provided on the worm gear 5.2.

Through the above improvements, the first adapter 5.4 and the second adapter 5.5 realize the flexible connection between the output end of the motor 5.1 and the worm 5.2, effectively eliminating the radial movement of the output shaft of the motor 5.1 and reducing the impact of concentricity.
[0081] Both the first adapter 5.4 and the second adapter 5.5 are flexible components.
[0082] (Motor 5.1 - Housing 6 installation)
[0083] With continued reference to Figures 5 to 7 In some other embodiments, further improvements are made to the motor 5.1 to address the noise of the motor 5.1 in the housing 6.

[0084] The first soft pad 5.7 has axial and radial extensions 5.71, and the cross section of the first soft pad 5.7 is L-shaped, so that the end face of the transmission seat 5.6 is limited in the axial and radial directions by the first soft pad 5.7. The first soft pad 5.7 and the second soft pad 5.8 eliminate the play between the motor 5.1 and the housing 6.
[0085] The second soft pad 5.8 has an embedded portion 5.81 embedded in the motor 5.1, and a ring portion surrounding the outer surface of the motor 5.1, the ring portion having a radially outwardly extending bulge 5.82, the ring portion and the bulge 5.82 of the second soft pad 5.8 abutting the inner surface of the housing 6, thereby eliminating the play of the tail of the motor 5.1 in the housing 6.
[0086] With the above improvements, the first soft pad 5.7 and the second soft pad 5.8 arranged in front and back provide a tight fit and limit for the motor 5.1 in the housing 6, to reduce and prevent the noise caused by the motor 5.1 shaking in the housing 6. In addition, by limiting the position of the motor 5.1, it is also beneficial to reduce the yaw between the output shaft of the motor 5.1 and the worm 5.2, and to achieve the quietness of the overall transmission system.
[0087] Due to the different directions of the force exerted by the worm gear 5.3 on the worm 5.2 when the movable tube 3.2 is extended and retracted, the yaw of the worm 5.2 at its two ends produces different periodic noises. Therefore, in this embodiment, the end of the worm 5.2 away from the motor 5.1 is interference connected with the housing 6 through the shaft sleeve, the control pressure is above 25N, and the other end of the worm 5.2 is engaged with the inner ring of the first bearing 5.9.

The inclined surface 7.3 further eliminates the interference between the tower-shaped spring 7 and the open end 7.2 of the spiral groove 7.1.
[0090] (First limiting structure and second limiting structure)
[0091] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, a first limiting structure is provided between the end of the movable tube 3.2 and the upper ball socket assembly 4. The first limiting structure prevents the end of the movable tube 3.2 from detaching from the upper ball socket assembly 4. The first limiting structure also allows the movable tube 3.2 and the upper ball socket assembly 4 to rotate relative to each other, so that when the movable tube 3.2 rotates during the assembly process, it rotates relative to the upper ball socket assembly 4 to avoid jamming.
[0092] A second limiting structure is provided between the bearing housing 1 and the guide tube 2, and the second limiting structure restricts the movable tube 3.2 from dislodging from the upper ball socket assembly 4 and prevents the guide tube 2 from moving and rotating axially;

Thus, the limiting and anti-disengagement of the lead screw 3.1 in the direction toward the upper ball socket assembly 4 is completed.
[0110] (Shell 6)
[0111] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, as a further embodiment of housing 6, housing 6 includes a front housing 6.1 closed on bearing housing 1 and a rear housing 6.2 closed on front housing 6.1. Bearing housing 1, front housing 6.1 and rear housing 6.2 are locked together by bolts 10. The joint end face of front housing 6.1 and bearing housing 1 is provided with a groove for accommodating third bearing 9. Limiting member 8 is arranged on one side adjacent to the groove, and the opening of the groove allows limiting member 8 to enter axially and engage with the input section 3.11 of lead screw 3.1 during assembly. The front housing 6.1 and rear housing 6.2 are closed to form a transmission cavity for accommodating power input assembly 5.
[0112] By separating the front housing 6.1 and the rear housing 6.2, after assembling the bearing housing 1, the lead screw assembly 3, and the upper ball socket assembly 4, the input section 3.11 of the lead screw 3.1 is in an assembly state that extends out of the bearing housing 1. At this time, the third bearing 9, the limiting member 8, and the front housing 6.1 can be placed directly on the bearing housing 1, and the mating opening of the front housing 6.1 facing the rear housing 6.2 allows the worm gear 5.3 to enter axially during assembly.
[0113] As a way of connecting the bearing seat 1 with the front shell 6.1, a metal nut 3.3 piece 1.3 is embedded in the bearing seat 1, and the bolt 10 enters from the rear shell 6.2 side and is further fixed and connected by the nut after being screwed through the metal nut 3.3 piece 1.3.
[0114] In some working conditions, the metal nut 3.3 piece 1.3 deforms due to high temperature creep, which is not conducive to the torque between the bolt 10 and the metal nut 3.3 piece 1.3, resulting in unstable locking between the shell 6 and the bearing seat 1. For this situation, the bearing seat 1 and the shell 6 extend out of the end corner part 11 on the outer contour side, and the metal nut 3.3 piece 1.3 is embedded in the end corner part 11, wherein the number of bolts 10 and end corner parts 11 is five, and they are arranged in the circumferential direction around the transmission cavity and contain the worm 5.2 in its axial projection.

[0119] To further improve the stability of the locked portion 6.22 in the assembled state, the locked portion 6.22 and the locking portion 6.21 have locking inclined surfaces 7.36.4 formed on the facing ends, which further increase the engagement area between the two, and as the bolt 10 is tightened, the two locking inclined surfaces 7.36.4 gradually fit closely.
[0120] Further, the locked portion 6.22 is provided with a ring protrusion 6.222 facing the front shell 6.1 and the locked portion 6.21 in a radial direction, and the locked portion 6.21 and the front shell 6.1 are provided with a stepped groove 6.5 matched with the ring protrusion 6.222, so that the integrity of the locked portion 6.22, the front shell 6.1 and the locked portion 6.21 is further improved.
