[0002] The automobile differential is an important component of the automobile transmission system. Its main function is to make the left and right wheels roll at different speeds when the car is turning or driving on uneven roads, thereby ensuring that the driving wheels on both sides perform pure rolling motion, thereby ensuring the driving stability of the vehicle. Three bushing mounting holes are opened on the rear subframe of the car. Among the three bushing mounting holes, two bushing mounting holes are located at the back and one bushing mounting hole is located at the front. A differential bushing is installed in the bushing mounting hole of each rear subframe of the car. The differential is connected to the differential bushing by bolts. The function of the differential bushing is to isolate the vibration between the body and the differential through the energy absorption of the rubber element, so as to obtain better ride comfort and durability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will refer to Figure 1-Figure 8 The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] A differential bushing outer retaining ring axial limiting structure, such as Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, it includes a left and right axial and cylindrical bushing 1, and an annular bushing rubber 2 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the bushing 1, and an annular connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the right end of the bushing 1, and an annular control plate 4 is fixedly connected to the left end of the bushing 1. A guide cylinder 5 coaxial with the bushing 1 is fixedly connected in the connecting plate 3 and the control plate 4, and a mounting cylinder 6 is slidably connected in the guide cylinder 5. When the mounting cylinder 6 shakes left and right, it can be restricted. A swivel 7 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the guide cylinder 5, and the swivel 7 can rotate with the movement of the mounting cylinder 6. The swivel 7 is provided with an annular groove 8 with an opening facing outward, and guide grooves are opened on the left and right side walls of the annular groove 8, respectively. The guide groove consists of four M-shaped grooves 9, and every two adjacent M-shaped grooves 9 are connected to each other, and the openings of the two guide grooves are opposite. The middle part of the bushing 1 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves corresponding to the M-shaped grooves 9, and an arc-shaped brake plate 10 is provided in the sliding groove. A moving rod 11 is fixedly connected to the inner arc surface of the brake plate 10, and a left and right axial guide column 12 is provided at one end of the moving rod 11 close to the center of the bushing 1. The left and right sides of the guide column 12 are respectively inserted into the guide grooves on the corresponding sides. A clearance groove 13 is provided in the control plate 4, and an annular disk 14 is rotatably connected in the clearance groove 13. A plurality of traction rods 15 are slidably connected to the side wall of the control plate 4, and the plurality of traction rods 15 can move relative to or opposite to each other as the annular disk 14 rotates. The end of the traction rod 15 away from the center of the bushing 1 penetrates the control plate 4 and is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped support plate 16. A plurality of connecting grooves evenly distributed along the circumferential direction and corresponding to the support plate 16 are provided on the two bushing rubbers 2, and the right end of the support plate 16 is inserted into the connecting groove on the corresponding side.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the guide cylinder 5 is provided with slide grooves 17 in left and right directions on the front and rear sides respectively, and the installation cylinder 6 is fixedly connected with two groups of front and rear opposite sliders 18 on the left and right sides respectively. The sliders 18 are slidably connected to the slide grooves 17 on the corresponding sides, and a swing rod 19 is hinged on the slider 18. Each group of two front and rear opposite swing rods 19 are distributed in an eight-shaped shape. A buffer cylinder 20 is hinged on the free end of the swing rod 19. A fixed column 21 is slidably connected in the buffer cylinder 20. The free end of the fixed column 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bushing 1, and the free end of the fixed column 21 is connected to the side wall of the buffer cylinder 20 via a first spring 22. Each group of two front and rear sliders 18 is fixedly connected with a retaining ring 23; when the guide cylinder 5 slides left and right, the guide cylinder 5 drives the retaining ring 23 on the corresponding side to move through the slider 18, and the retaining ring 23 drives the buffer cylinder 20 to compress the first spring 22 through the swing rod 19, which can relieve the axial force of the installation cylinder 6 and reduce the sliding amplitude of the installation cylinder 6.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the retaining ring 23 on the left is connected to the right side wall of the control board 4 via multiple second springs 24, and the retaining ring 23 on the right is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3 via a third spring 25; when the mounting tube 6 drives the retaining ring 23 on the left to move left and right via the slider 18, the second spring 24 can control the moving position of the retaining ring 23 on the left to facilitate its reset, and when the retaining ring 23 on the right moves left and right, the third spring 25 can control the movement and reset of the retaining ring 23 on the right, thereby limiting the moving range of the mounting tube 6 to prevent the mounting tube 6 from shaking too much left and right.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown, the distance from the inflection point in the middle of the M-shaped groove 9 to the center of the bushing 1 is the smallest, and the distance from the middle of the M-shaped groove 9 to the center of the bushing 1 gradually increases in the process of extending toward both ends; when the swivel 7 drives the guide groove and the M-shaped groove 9 to rotate, the M-shaped groove 9 can drive the moving rod 11 to move via the guide column 12, and the moving rod 11 can drive the brake plate 10 to contact the mounting hole, thereby increasing the friction between the brake plate 10 and the mounting hole, performing external axial limitation on the mounting cylinder 6, and making the braking effect more effective.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, a V-shaped rotation groove 26 is opened on the inner arc surface of the rotating ring 7, and a plug post 27 inserted into the rotation groove 26 is fixedly connected to the front end of the installation tube 6; when the installation tube 6 drives the plug post 27 to move right in the rotation groove 26, the rotating ring 7 rotates counterclockwise, and when the installation tube 6 drives the plug post 27 to move left in the rotation groove 26, the rotating ring 7 rotates clockwise.

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the annular disk 14 is provided with a plurality of traction grooves 28 which are evenly distributed along its circumferential direction and open to the right, the traction grooves 28 are arc-shaped, and the end of the traction rod 15 facing the center of the bushing 1 extends into the give way groove 13 and is provided with a sliding post 29 inserted into the traction groove 28; when the annular disk 14 rotates counterclockwise, the annular disk 14 drives the traction groove 28 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the sliding post 29 drives the traction rod 15 to move toward the center of the bushing 1, and when the annular disk 14 rotates clockwise, the annular disk 14 drives the traction groove 28 to rotate clockwise, so that the sliding post 29 drives the traction rod 15 to move away from the center of the bushing 1, and the traction rod 15 can drive the support plate 16 to move, thereby achieving the purpose of compressing the bushing rubber 2 from all angles, which is convenient for the installation of the bushing 1.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the annular disk 14 is connected to the side wall of the give way groove 13 via a torsion spring 30, a through groove with an opening facing left and coaxial with the annular disk 14 is opened on the left side wall of the control plate 4, and a push plate 31 extending out of the through groove is fixedly connected to the left end of the annular disk 14; when the push plate 31 is pushed, the push plate 31 can drive the annular disk 14 to rotate, and the annular disk 14 stretches the torsion spring 30. When the external force of the push plate 31 disappears, the annular disk 14 can be reset under the action of the torsion spring 30.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, arc-shaped protective plates 32 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the right end of the bushing 1, and a plurality of outward-facing brake grooves 33 are provided on the brake plate 10; the protective plate 32 can protect the mounting tube 6 and the mounting bolts, and the brake grooves 33 can increase the friction between the brake plate 10 and the mounting hole, so as to achieve a better axial limiting effect.

[0036] When the present invention is in use, it is necessary to first install the bushing 1 so that the bushing 1 and the mounting hole are assembled, and the push plate 31 is pushed to rotate counterclockwise, which drives the annular disk 14 to rotate counterclockwise, and the annular disk 14 drives multiple traction grooves 28 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the sliding column 29 drives the traction rod 15 to move toward the center of the bushing 1, and the traction rod 15 drives the support plate 16 to move toward the center of the bushing 1. The support plate 16 drives the bushing rubber 2 to elastically deform toward the center of the bushing 1 through the connecting groove, so that the multiple support plates 16 compress the bushing rubber 2 from multiple angles, so that the volume of the two bushing rubbers 2 is reduced. At this time, the bushing 1 is placed in the mounting hole, which is convenient for installing the bushing 1, saving time and effort.

[0037] When the bushing 1 is completely placed in the mounting hole, the push plate 31 is released, and the annular disk 14 rotates clockwise under the force of the torsion spring 30, and the annular disk 14 drives the traction groove 28 to rotate clockwise, so that the sliding column 29 drives the traction rod 15 to move in the direction away from the center of the bushing 1, and the traction rod 15 drives the support plate 16 to move in the direction away from the center of the bushing 1, and the support plate 16 no longer squeezes the bushing rubber 2, and the bushing rubber 2 expands to its original size, so that the bushing rubber 2 and the mounting hole are interference-fitted, so that the bushing 1 and the mounting hole are fixed; Then, bolts are used to fix the differential and the mounting cylinder 6. When the vehicle body shakes, the differential will shake. When the differential drives the mounting cylinder 6 to move to the left, the mounting cylinder 6 drives the retaining ring 23 on the left to move to the left and compress the second spring 24. At the same time, the retaining ring 23 on the left drives the two rocking rods 19 on the left to swing away from each other through the slider 18. The two rocking rods 19 on the left drive the two buffer cylinders 20 to move away from each other and compress the first spring 22. At the same time, the retaining ring 23 on the right moves to the left and stretches the third spring 25. The retaining ring 23 on the right drives the two rocking rods 19 on the right to swing relative to each other. The two rocking rods 19 on the right drive the two buffer cylinders 20 on the right to swing relative to each other and stretch the first spring 22. Under the action of the first spring 22, the second spring 24 and the third spring 25, the force on the mounting cylinder 6 in the left and right axial directions is weakened, the amplitude of the left and right shaking of the mounting cylinder 6 is reduced, and the amplitude of the left and right shaking of the differential is reduced synchronously.

[0038] Similarly, when the differential drives the mounting cylinder 6 to move to the right, the mounting cylinder 6 drives the retaining ring 23 on the left to move to the right and stretch the second spring 24. At the same time, the retaining ring 23 on the left drives the two rocking rods 19 on the left to swing relative to each other through the slider 18. The two rocking rods 19 on the left drive the two buffer cylinders 20 to move relative to each other and stretch the first spring 22. At the same time, the retaining ring 23 on the right moves to the right and compresses the third spring 25. The retaining ring 23 on the right drives the two rocking rods 19 on the right to swing away from each other. The two rocking rods 19 on the right drive the two buffer cylinders 20 on the right to swing away from each other and compress the first spring 22. Under the action of the first spring 22, the second spring 24 and the third spring 25, the force on the mounting cylinder 6 in the left and right axial directions is weakened, the amplitude of the left and right shaking of the mounting cylinder 6 is reduced, and the amplitude of the left and right shaking of the differential is reduced synchronously.

[0039] When the differential drives the mounting tube 6 to move to the left, the mounting tube 6 drives the plug post 27 to move to the left in the rotating groove 26. Under the joint force of the plug post 27 and the rotating groove 26, the swivel 7 rotates clockwise, and the swivel 7 drives the guide groove to rotate clockwise, so that the guide post 12 slides in the M-shaped groove 9 in the guide groove. The guide post 12 slides from the initial turning point of the M-shaped groove 9 to the two ends of the M-shaped groove 9, and the distance between the guide post 12 and the center of the bushing 1 gradually increases. The guide post 12 drives the moving rod 11 and the brake plate 10 to move in the direction away from the center of the bushing 1, so that multiple brake plates 10 contact the side wall of the mounting hole, thereby increasing the friction between the brake plate 10 and the mounting hole, and further weakening the external force on the bushing 1 in the left and right axial directions.

[0040] When the differential drives the mounting tube 6 to move to the right, the mounting tube 6 drives the plug post 27 to move to the right in the rotating groove 26. Under the joint force of the plug post 27 and the rotating groove 26, the swivel 7 rotates counterclockwise, and the swivel 7 drives the guide groove to rotate counterclockwise, so that the guide post 12 slides in the M-shaped groove 9. The guide post 12 slides from the initial turning point of the M-shaped groove 9 to the two ends of the M-shaped groove 9. The distance between the guide post 12 and the center of the bushing 1 gradually increases. The guide post 12 drives the moving rod 11 and the brake plate 10 to move in a direction away from the center of the bushing 1, so that multiple brake plates 10 contact the side walls of the mounting hole, increasing the friction between the brake plate 10 and the mounting hole, and further weakening the external force on the bushing 1 in the left and right axial directions. Due to the presence of the support plate 16, the annular disk 14 and the torsion spring 30, the bushing rubber 2 can be supported and buffered, thereby reducing the wear on the bushing rubber 2 and extending the service life of the bushing 1.

[0041] When the bushing 1 needs to be removed, the push plate 31 is pushed to rotate counterclockwise, which drives the annular disk 14 to rotate counterclockwise, and the annular disk 14 drives the multiple traction grooves 28 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the sliding column 29 drives the traction rod 15 to move toward the center of the bushing 1, and the traction rod 15 drives the support plate 16 to move toward the center of the bushing 1. The support plate 16 drives the bushing rubber 2 to elastically deform toward the center of the bushing 1 through the connecting groove, so that the multiple support plates 16 compress the bushing rubber 2 from multiple angles, so that the volume of the two bushing rubbers 2 is reduced. At this time, the bushing 1 can be easily taken out from the mounting hole, which is more convenient to disassemble the bushing 1, saving time and effort.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components.
