[0013] Figure 2 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram (II) of the present invention.
[0014] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the present invention.
[0015] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of prior art patent literature. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments thereof.
[0017] like Figure 1-2 A drive axle reducer housing includes a housing 10, a guide bearing seat 23 is fixed in the housing 10, and a plurality of longitudinally arranged reinforcing ribs A24 are fixed on the inner wall of the housing 10 between the upper side surface of the guide bearing seat support surface of the guide bearing seat 23 and the lower surface of the upper flange surface 20. The reinforcing ribs A24 extend along the axial direction, and the two ends thereof are respectively fixed on the guide bearing seat 23 and the upper flange surface 20.
[0018] In this way, the two ends and one side of the reinforcing rib A24 are fixed on the housing 10, so that the guide bearing seat 23, the upper flange surface 20, and the reinforcing rib A24 form a three-dimensional structure, which can be related and involved in the longitudinal and transverse directions, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the reducer housing.
[0019] The number of screw holes A21 on the upper flange surface 20 is 2n, where n is a natural number. The number of reinforcing ribs A24 is n, and the reinforcing rib A24 is located between two adjacent screw holes A21.
[0020] like Figure 1-2 Two symmetrical differential bearing mounting components are fixed on the housing 10, and the differential bearing mounting components include two vertical load-bearing columns 30. A semi-annular differential bearing mounting platform 31 is provided between the two load-bearing columns 30. The housing 10 is fixed below the differential bearing mounting platform 31 by three reinforcing ribs B32. The load-bearing columns 30 fix the housing 10 by reinforcing ribs C33. The reinforcing ribs C33 are located in the opposite direction of the differential bearing mounting platform 31.
[0021] In this way, the load-bearing column 30, the differential bearing mounting platform 31, the reinforcing ribs B32 and C33 are similar to the structure of a suspension bridge, the structure is relatively stable, and the rigidity of the reducer housing is enhanced.
[0022] During installation, the main cone bearing seat and other parts are not easy to align, so the improvements are as follows: like Figure 1 A locating pin hole 25 is provided on the upper flange surface 20. When the upper flange surface 20 and the main cone bearing seat are installed, the locating pin passes through the locating pin hole on the main cone bearing seat and the locating pin hole 25 on the upper flange surface 20.
[0023] A drive axle reducer assembly includes the above-mentioned drive axle reducer housing. When the upper flange surface 20 of the drive axle reducer housing is installed with the main cone bearing seat, the locating pin passes through the locating pin hole on the main cone bearing seat and the locating pin hole 25 on the upper flange surface 20.
[0024] A pin hole 41 is provided on the lower flange surface 40 of the housing 10 .
[0025] Features of this application: S1. The main reducer housing is newly designed. By optimizing the reinforcing ribs connecting the guide bearing seat and the upper surface bolt holes, and optimizing the reinforcing ribs connecting the differential bearing holes and the reducer housing, the reducer housing stiffness is improved, the deformation of the guide bearing holes when the gears are loaded is reduced, the anti-drag torque of the main reducer is increased, and the transmission error of the gears is reduced, thereby improving the NVH performance.
[0026] NVH performance: refers to the noise, vibration and harshness generated by a car during driving, and is an important indicator for measuring the comfort and quality of a car. NVH performance not only affects the user's riding experience, but also directly reflects the manufacturing process and quality level of the car. S2. The differential bearing hole is connected to the housing body through annular ribs to reduce the deformation of the differential bearing hole position when loaded and improve NVH performance.
[0027] S3. The main reducer housing and the main cone bearing seat are positioned by locating pins and fastened by bolts, which reduces the housing offset distance error caused by the shaft hole matching clearance and improves the installation accuracy of the main and driven bevel gears.
[0028] For other contents, please refer to the prior art.
[0029] The above description is only the preferred implementation mode of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several changes and improvements can be made without departing from the overall concept of the present invention, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
