[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-7 This invention provides a technical solution: an automotive friction-reducing bushing, comprising a rubber component 1, an inner tube 2, an inner outer tube 3, and an outer outer tube 4. The rubber component 1 has a groove inside, and the inner tube 2 is fixedly installed inside the groove. The inner outer tube 3 is fitted outside the rubber component 1, and the outer outer tube 4 is fitted outside the inner outer tube 3. A control arm 5 is fitted outside the outer outer tube 4. A first corrugated pipe 6 is provided on one side of the outer outer tube 4, and one side of the first corrugated pipe 6 is connected to a first end cap 7. A second corrugated pipe 8 is provided on one side of the inner outer tube 3, and one side of the second corrugated pipe 8 is connected to a second end cap 9. A connecting bolt 10 is inserted inside the inner tube 2, and one end of the connecting bolt 10 is connected to a nut 11.
[0041] The beneficial effects of this automotive friction-reducing bushing and its manufacturing process are that the structural design of the rubber component 1, inner tube 2, inner outer tube 3, and outer outer tube 4 achieves convenience and reliability during installation. The elastic properties of the rubber component 1 effectively absorb and buffer vibrations and impacts during vehicle operation, significantly reducing friction between components and thus improving vehicle stability and comfort. Simultaneously, this structural design avoids the risk of component deformation or damage caused by forcibly hammering the control arm 5 into the sleeve hole 501 in traditional installation methods. Installation can be completed with simple bolt connections without the need for external pressing equipment, greatly reducing installation difficulty and cost. Furthermore, the bellows and end caps further enhance the bushing's sealing performance and service life, effectively solving the problems of inconvenient installation and easy damage to the control arm 5 associated with existing bushings.
[0042] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-7This invention provides a technical solution: an automotive friction-reducing bushing. A rubber component 1 has conical ends on one side. The outer wall of the rubber component 1 is provided with rubber protrusions 101, one end of which is arc-shaped. Multiple rubber protrusions 101 are provided, and they are distributed in a ring-shaped, evenly spaced manner. One end of the inner outer tube 3 has an arc-shaped chamfered edge. The inner wall of the inner outer tube 3 is provided with an inner wall groove 301, the shape of which matches the shape of the rubber protrusions 101. Multiple inner wall grooves 301 are provided, and each inner wall groove 301 corresponds to one rubber protrusion 101. The inner wall grooves 301 and rubber protrusions 101 are engaged and connected to each other. One end of the inner wall groove 301 is provided with a first... A limiting ring 304 has an outer diameter larger than the diameter of the inner sleeve hole 501 of the control arm 5. A first limiting groove 303 is provided on the surface of the first limiting ring 304. Two first limiting grooves 303 are symmetrically distributed along the center of the limiting ring and have a U-shaped structure. An outer wall groove 302 is provided on the outer wall surface of the inner outer tube 3. The outer wall groove 302 has a straight, raised structure and is distributed in a ring-like, evenly spaced pattern along the outer wall surface of the inner outer tube 3. The inner wall of the outer outer tube 4 is tightly fitted to the outer wall surface of the inner outer tube 3. An inner wall groove 402 is formed on the inner wall surface 201 of the outer outer tube 4. The inner wall groove 402 engages with the outer wall groove 302 through a sliding fit. The shape of the inner wall groove 402 is similar to that of the outer outer tube 3. The wall grooves 302 are shaped to match each other, and multiple inner wall grooves 301 are provided, which are distributed in a ring-shaped and equally spaced manner. When the bushing is in use, the rubber part 1 and the inner outer tube 3 are placed into the sleeve hole 501 inside the control arm 5, and then one end of the outer outer tube 4 is inserted into the gap between the inner outer tube 3 and the sleeve hole 501. Then, the first end cap 7 is placed on one side of the outer outer tube 4, and then the second end cap 9 is placed on one side of the outer outer tube 4. Then, by inserting the connecting bolt 10, the bolt head 1002 of one end of the connecting bolt 10 is embedded in the second limiting hole 902 of the second end cap 9, so that the other end of the connecting bolt 10 can pass through the first end cap 7, and the nut 11 can be tightened. The nut 11 is inserted into the outside of one end of the connecting bolt 10, and then the nut 11 is continuously tightened so that the nut 11 can move on the surface of the connecting bolt 10. Under the action of the connecting bolt 10 and the nut 11, the first end cap 7 and the second end cap 9 can press against each other, causing the inner outer tube 3 and the outer outer tube 4 to be pressed into the gap between the sleeve hole 501 and the inner outer tube 3. This allows the outer outer tube 4 to be installed and fixed inside the sleeve with an interference fit with the inner wall of the sleeve. This helps to avoid the need for external force to hammer the bushing into the control arm 5 during installation, and only a wrench is needed during installation. No external pressing equipment is required, which greatly improves the convenience of installation.
[0043] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 1-7This invention provides a technical solution: an automotive friction-reducing bushing, wherein one end of a connecting bolt 10 is fixedly connected to a bolt head 1002, the bolt head 1002 is embedded in a second groove, the connecting bolt 10 passes through a first end cap 7 and a second end cap 9, and the other end of the connecting bolt 10 is threadedly connected to a nut 11. Two limiting protrusions 1001 are provided on the surface of the connecting bolt 10, and the two limiting protrusions 1001 engage with a slot 202 inside the inner tube 2 through a sliding fit; the inner side of the inner tube 2 is provided with... The inner wall surface 201 is smooth and has a groove 202. The groove 202 is a straight groove with both ends connected and symmetrically distributed at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall surface 201. A second limiting ring 401 is provided at one end of the outer tube 4. The second limiting ring 401 is integral with the outer tube 4. The outer diameter of the second limiting ring 401 is larger than the diameter of the inner sleeve hole 501 of the control arm 5. The surface of the second limiting ring 401 is flush with the inner wall surface 201. A corrugated pipe 6 has one end surface tightly fitted; a first end cap 7 has a first connecting ring 701 on its edge, the first connecting ring 701 and the first end cap 7 are integrally formed, the surface of the first connecting ring 701 has two holes and grooves, and the holes and grooves on the surface of the first connecting ring 701 are threadedly connected to the first positioning screw 702, one end of the first positioning screw 702 is located inside the second limiting groove 403, one side surface of the first connecting ring 701 is connected to one end of the first corrugated pipe 6, one end of the first end cap 7 has a first limiting hole 703, and the inner wall surface 201 of the first limiting hole 703 has a limiting protrusion 704; a second end cap 9 has a second connecting ring 901 on its edge, the second connecting ring 901 and the second end cap 9 are integrally formed, one side surface of the second end cap 9 is tightly fitted to the end of the rubber part 1, the interior of the second connecting ring 901 is threadedly connected to two second positioning screws 903, one end of the second positioning screw 903 abuts against the surface of the first limiting groove 303, and the surface of the second end cap 9 has a second limiting hole 902;After the bushing is installed inside the control arm 5, the connector and nut 11 are removed, and then the bushing is installed on the frame using the connecting bolts 10 and nut 11. The first end cap 7 and the second end cap 9 prevent the two ends of the rubber component 1 from being directly exposed, thus delaying the aging and cracking of the exposed parts of the rubber component 1 and extending its service life. Simultaneously, the first bellows 6 and the second bellows 8 further improve the sealing performance of the two ends of the rubber component 1. Furthermore, the first positioning screw 702 and the second positioning screw 903 are respectively provided on the surfaces of the first end cap 7 and the second end cap 9. One end of the first positioning screw 702 and the second positioning screw 903 are respectively connected via the first positioning screw 702 and the second positioning screw 903. Under the action of the first limiting groove 303 and the second limiting groove 403, when the bushing is installed inside the sleeve hole 501, the first end cover 7 and the second end cover 9 can be prevented from rotating when the nut 11 is turned. In addition, the gap between the first end cover 7 and the outer tube 4 can be adjusted by rotating the first positioning screw 702. Similarly, the gap between the second end cover 9 and the inner tube 3 can be adjusted by rotating the second positioning screw 903, thereby increasing the adjustability of the bushing. By providing a limiting protrusion 1001 on the outside of the connecting bolt 10, the limiting protrusion 1001 can limit the inner tube 2, preventing relative rotation between the limiting protrusion 1001 and the inner tube 2 during use, thus avoiding friction that would affect the use.
