Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a high-precision boring process for an automotive inner CV joint. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive CV joints typically use rubber dust covers in conjunction with metal clamps for sealing and protection. The metal clamps apply uniform tightening force to ensure a tight seal between the dust cover and the CV joint housing and the outer surface of the drive shaft, eliminating gaps and enhancing the sealing effect. When gravel or foreign objects splashed from the chassis directly impact the clamps, they can easily deform or scratch the clamps, causing the dust cover seal to fail.
[0003] In off-road or complex road conditions, foreign objects such as weeds and plastic bags can easily get stuck or entangled in the gaps of the clamps. When the drive shaft rotates at high speed, it will cause the entangled foreign objects to continuously pull on the clamps, resulting in an imbalance of the clamp's tightening torque, local loosening or even displacement. This causes the sealing gap at both ends of the dust cover to widen, allowing external impurities such as mud, sand, and moisture to enter the ball cage, contaminate the lubricating grease, and accelerate the wear of the internal steel balls and raceways. In severe cases, it can cause abnormal noise and jamming in the inner ball cage, reducing its transmission accuracy and service life.
[0004] Patent CN118959460B discloses a ball cage universal joint with a dust cover. The above patent realizes constant velocity transmission in multiple directions, adapts to the overall structure under adverse driving conditions, avoids pulling on the dust cover body, and avoids twisting deformation and fatigue damage to the dust cover body.
[0005] The aforementioned patent includes a ball-cage universal joint body and a dust cover assembly, which solves the problem that the dust cover is fixed at both ends to the drive shaft and the driven shaft respectively, which makes it easy to pull on the dust cover under poor driving conditions, resulting in the dust cover being twisted, deformed and fatigued. However, there is still room for improvement in the clamp protection. This application realizes the wrap-around protection of the clamp, which solves the problem that foreign objects such as weeds, cables, and plastic bags are easy to get stuck or entangled in the clamp gaps under off-road or complex road conditions.
[0006] Therefore, this application proposes a high-precision boring process for an automotive inner CV joint that provides enveloping protection for the clamp. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0019] 1. This invention, through the installation of annular cover, positioning ring, and easy-tear ring, achieves enveloping protection for the clamp, solving the problem of clamps being easily corroded in harsh environments. The annular cover and positioning ring form a physical protective layer, covering the clamp and isolating it from external corrosive media, improving the clamp's service life and locking reliability, preventing the clamp from rusting or breaking, thus preventing dust cover detachment and grease leakage. It also solves the problem that foreign objects such as weeds, cables, and plastic bags can easily get stuck or entangled in the clamp gaps in off-road or complex road conditions, improving the adaptability of the CV joint assembly in harsh working conditions such as saline-alkali, dusty, and foreign object-prone environments. Through the preset easy-tear point, the damage path is guided to the special easy-tear ring, achieving low-destructive forced disassembly and improving maintenance convenience.
[0020] 2. This invention achieves multi-layer locking by installing a circumferential plate, plug-in block, ribs, and other structures. After the annular cover and positioning ring are initially engaged by the plug-in block and slot, the plug-in block is inserted into the insertion hole of the positioning ring to form a second mechanical lock. This solves the problem that the protective components may loosen on their own under complex working conditions, ensuring their long-term stable connection and enhancing the firmness of the connection between the annular cover and the positioning ring. The support structure formed by the circumferential plate, annular cover, and ribs absorbs and buffers the impact force when subjected to side impacts, maintaining a safe gap between the annular cover and the clamp, thus improving impact resistance.
[0021] 3. This invention achieves dynamic clamping and locking through the installation of a buffer spring, protective plate, and abutment plate. The protective plate drives the rotating ring and abutment plate to rotate, while the abutment plate slides on the circumferential plate, continuously pressing down on the circumferential plate. After the plug-in block is initially inserted into the insertion hole, the circumferential plate is dynamically clamped a second time to ensure that the plug-in block is completely and firmly inserted into the insertion hole. The buffer spring located between the protective plate and the rotating plate forms a buffer. When splashes such as gravel and mud hit the protective plate, the impact force is absorbed and weakened by the buffer spring, achieving axial energy absorption and buffering, and solving the problem that the connection structure is prone to loosening under long-term vibration and impact due to incomplete locking.
[0022] 4. This invention, by installing a limiting spring, impact block, and weight, utilizes the inherent acceleration changes during vehicle movement. Under the action of the limiting spring, the weight repeatedly impacts the inner wall of the annular cover, causing mechanical vibration in the annular cover. In cold winters, the vibration generated by the impact of the weight interferes with ice crystal growth, preventing the formation of solid ice layers. This avoids damage to the annular cover and difficulty in disassembly due to freezing, improves the adaptability of the ball cage assembly in extreme environments, and solves the problem of the annular cover and positioning ring becoming stuck together due to ice and difficult to disassemble.

For example, "connection" 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 an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a high-precision boring process for an automotive inner CV joint, comprising a CV joint body 1, a connecting rod 2, and a dust cover 3. The connecting rod 2 is provided on the CV joint body 1, and the dust cover 3 is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the connecting rod 2. The dust cover 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the CV joint body 1 by a clamp 4. A positioning ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dust cover 3. An annular cover 5 is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the positioning ring 6. A snap-fit block 7 is fixedly connected at equal intervals on the inner wall of the annular cover 5. A snap-fit groove 9 is opened at equal intervals on the outer wall of the positioning ring 6. The snap-fit groove 9 is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the snap-fit block 7. An easy-tear ring 13 is fixedly connected inside the positioning ring 6. An easy-tear point 16 is opened between the positioning ring 6 and the easy-tear ring 13. A tear plate 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the easy-tear ring 13. A locking plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the snap-fit block 7.
[0036] Furthermore, each of the three pins of the connecting rod 2 is fitted with a roller, and the three rollers are respectively embedded in the three axial raceways bored out of the inner wall of the ball cage body 1. The large-diameter end of the dust cover 3 is fitted onto the ball cage body 1, and the dust cover 3 is tightly clamped onto the ball cage body 1 by the clamp 4. The clamp 4 is installed on the side of the positioning ring 6 near the small-diameter end of the dust cover 3, and the small-diameter end of the dust cover 3 is fitted onto the connecting rod 2. The end of the annular cover 5 with the snap-fit block 7 is oriented towards the positioning ring 6, and the annular cover 5 is passed through the connecting rod 2 and the dust cover 3 to make the snap-fit block 7 engage. Align block 7 with slot 9, insert block 7 into slot 9, and gradually bring the annular cover 5 closer to clamp 4, so that clamp 4 is positioned between the annular cover 5 and positioning ring 6. Positioning ring 6 is gradually inserted into annular cover 5. When annular cover 5 can no longer move, locking plate 8 and positioning ring 6 fit together, thus fitting annular cover 5 onto positioning ring 6. By inserting block 7 into slot 9, the connection and fixation between annular cover 5 and positioning ring 6 are achieved, forming a protective layer outside clamp 4, thus covering clamp 4. The ball joint body 1 and dust cover 3 are located under the vehicle chassis and are exposed to salt spray, de-icing agents, and mud for extended periods. The annular cover 5 and positioning ring 6 enclose the clamp 4, isolating it from external corrosive media, improving its service life and locking reliability, preventing rusting or breakage, and preventing the dust cover 3 from falling off or grease leakage. In off-road or complex road conditions, foreign objects such as weeds, cables, and plastic bags can easily get stuck in the gaps of the clamp 4. The relatively smooth outer shell of the annular cover 5 and positioning ring 6 eliminates hook points on the clamp 4, reducing the risk of foreign object entanglement. The risk of dust cover 3 being pulled off is reduced, thereby ensuring the reliability of the dust cover 3 seal and preventing external abrasive particles from entering the inner cavity of the ball cage body 1. This solves the problem of abrasive particles damaging the mirror effect of the boring raceway of the ball cage body 1, leading to increased fit clearance, abnormal noise, and the loss of the value of high-precision machining. In addition, the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6 act as physical barriers to protect the clamp 4 structure, preventing tools from accidentally hitting the sharp edge of the clamp 4 during maintenance or assembly in the confined engine compartment, which could cause scratches. This also prevents frictional interference between the clamp 4 and surrounding wiring harnesses and oil pipes.
[0037] When maintenance of the CV joint inside the vehicle is required, use a flathead screwdriver or a special plastic pry bar to insert into the joint between the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6, and apply external force to separate the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6. If the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6 are difficult to separate due to structural aging, deformation, or other factors, then use a tool to pry up the tear plate 15 and drag it to cause the tear plate 15 to drive the easy-tear ring 13 to break along the easy-tear point 16, thereby releasing the connection constraint between the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6. At this time, the annular cover 5 and the part of the positioning ring 6 connected to it can be easily removed, exposing the clamp 4, so that the clamp 4 can be adjusted, cleaned, or replaced. At the same time, the sealing performance of the dust cover 3 can be checked and repaired. Lubricate or replace the damaged dust cover 3; the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6 act as physical barriers, directly bearing external mechanical impacts such as stone impacts and chassis scraping, preventing the clamp 4 from being directly deformed or scratched, and ensuring that the clamp 4's locking force does not decrease; prevent mud and de-icing agents from directly adhering to the gaps of the clamp 4, preventing the clamp 4 from rusting or solidifying due to rust, and reducing the difficulty of disassembly; when the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6 are difficult to separate, the easy-tear ring 13 and the easy-tear point 16 serve as destructive disassembly channels, allowing maintenance workers to forcibly tear open the positioning ring 6, avoiding the inability to disassemble the clamp 4 due to the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6 being stuck, thus forcing the disassembly of the entire CV joint assembly, reducing the maintenance threshold and cost under extreme working conditions.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 An embodiment of the present invention provides a high-precision boring process for an automotive inner CV joint, comprising a CV joint body 1, a connecting rod 2, and a dust cover 3. A snap-fit block 7 is fixedly connected at equal intervals to the inner wall of an annular cover 5. A snap-fit groove 9 is equidistantly opened on the outer wall of a positioning ring 6. An insertion hole 14 is opened on the side wall of the positioning ring 6. A circumferential plate 10 is symmetrically arranged on the annular cover 5. An insertion block 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circumferential plate 10. The positioning ring 6 is connected to the circumferential plate 10 via the insertion block 12. An insertion hole 14 is opened on the side wall of the positioning ring 6 and is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the insertion block 12. Ribs 24 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer wall of the circumferential plate 10. An annular cover 5 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the ribs 24. The ribs 24 are located on the side of the circumferential plate 10 away from the CV joint body 1. A limit plate 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the circumferential plate 10.
[0039] Furthermore, the annular cover 5 is fitted onto the outer wall of the positioning ring 6. After the snap-fit block 7 is inserted into the slot 9, the circumferential plate 10 is moved closer to the positioning ring 6. The circumferential plate 10 drives the insertion block 12 to move closer to the insertion hole 14, so that the insertion block 12 is inserted into the insertion hole 14. The limiting plate 11 on the side wall of the circumferential plate 10 gradually approaches and fits against the annular cover 5. Thus, with the snap-fit block 7 and the slot 9 engaged, the insertion block 12 is further engaged with the insertion hole 14, thereby further improving the connection between the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6. The connection is robust; the ribs 24 fit snugly against the annular cover 5, guiding the movement of the circumferential plate 10 and preventing it from tilting during movement. This ensures that the insertion block 12 can be accurately aligned with the insertion hole 14 for insertion. Simultaneously, the circumferential plate 10, the annular cover 5, and the ribs 24 form a honeycomb structure. Therefore, when the annular cover 5 is impacted from the side, the internal structure of the annular cover 5 is laterally compressed. The honeycomb structure formed by the circumferential plate 10 and the ribs 24 absorbs and buffers the impact force, preventing the annular cover 5 from being crushed. The clamp 4 reduces impact damage to the clamp 4, improves the overall impact resistance of the ball cage, extends its service life, and prevents the clamp 4 from undergoing plastic deformation after being squeezed, which would reduce the locking force and cause the dust cover 3 to loosen and leak oil. The circumferential plate 10, the annular cover 5, and the rib 24, through physical contact, convert the impact force into their own deformation, maintaining a safe gap between the annular cover 5 and the clamp 4. Only when the impact force exceeds a preset threshold will the annular cover 5 further squeeze the clamp 4, improving the structural safety redundancy. When the annular cover 5 is subjected to radial impact or During axial compression, the ribs 24 and the circumferential plates 10 provide support to prevent further deformation of the annular cover 5 and ensure that the impact force is not transmitted to the clamp 4, further reducing the probability of deformation or loosening of the clamp 4. After assembly, the positioning ring 6 and the annular cover 5 are firmly connected through a multi-layer snap-fit structure. During vehicle operation, the ball cage rotates continuously with the wheel and is constantly subjected to alternating impact forces from the road surface. The circumferential plates 10, the annular cover 5, and the ribs 24 can maintain a long-term stable connection, avoiding the problem of the dust cover 3 coming loose.
[0040] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5An embodiment of the present invention provides a high-precision boring process for an automotive inner CV joint, comprising a CV joint body 1, a connecting rod 2, and a dust cover 3. A snap-fit block 7 is fixedly connected at equal intervals to the inner wall of an annular cover 5. A slot 9 is equidistantly opened on the outer wall of a positioning ring 6, and an insertion hole 14 is opened on the side wall of the positioning ring 6. A circumferential plate 10 is symmetrically arranged on the annular cover 5. A connecting ring 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the annular cover 5. A rotating ring 26 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting ring 25. A rotating plate 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the rotating ring 26. A buffer spring 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the rotating plate 27. A protective plate 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the buffer spring 28. The protective plate 29 is movably fitted onto the outer wall of the rotating plate 27. Abutment plates 31 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the rotating plate 27.
[0041] Furthermore, the annular cover 5 is fitted onto the outer wall of the positioning ring 6, the snap-fit block 7 is inserted into the snap-fit groove 9, and the insertion block 12 on the circumferential plate 10 is initially inserted into the insertion hole 14. The rotating plate 27 engages with the keyway of the protective plate 29. When the protective plate 29 is rotated, the protective plate 29 drives the rotating plate 27 to rotate, the rotating plate 27 drives the rotating ring 26 to rotate, the rotating ring 26 rotates along the connecting ring 25, and the rotating plate 27 drives the abutment plate 31 to rotate, thereby moving the abutment plate 31 above the circumferential plate 10. As the abutment plate 31 rotates... As the angle of movement changes, the contact plate 31 gradually slides on the circumferential plate 10, gradually pressing the circumferential plate 10 to ensure it fully engages with the positioning ring 6. This ensures the insertion block 12 is further inserted into the insertion hole 14, guaranteeing a tight connection. The active rotation and pressing mechanism ensures complete locking, reliable insertion of the circumferential plate 10 at all positions, and a high degree of fit. This solves the problem of the circumferential plate 10 and insertion block 12 becoming loose due to long-term alternating impacts. The stability of the connection structure is improved. The buffer spring 28 buffers the impact of the road surface on the protective plate 29. When gravel and mud splash onto the surface of the protective plate 29, the impact force is weakened by the buffer spring 28, preventing the annular cover 5 from deforming due to the impact force, extending the service life of the entire connection and fixing structure, and improving the long-term reliability of the structure. In addition, when the structure is subjected to axial impact, the protective plate 29 compresses the buffer spring 28, thereby absorbing the impact and achieving buffering, improving the impact protection performance of the structure, and extending the overall service life of the device. The buffer spring 28 pushes the protective plate 29 to reset through its own elasticity, preventing it from affecting the normal use of the device in the future. It prevents the annular cover 5 from directly and rigidly contacting the clamp 4, preventing the clamp 4 from being squeezed and displaced, which would cause the locking force to fail. At the same time, the buffer spring 28 can also weaken the vibration transmitted to the clamp 4, preventing the structure from vibrating due to impact, and preventing the connecting bolts of the clamp 4 from loosening due to long-term vibration, further improving the overall structural connection stability.
[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 An embodiment of the present invention provides a high-precision boring process for an automotive inner CV joint, comprising a CV joint body 1, a connecting rod 2, and a dust cover 3. A positioning ring 6 has equidistant slots 9 on its outer wall and insertion holes 14 on its side wall. An impact block 17 is circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of an annular cover 5. A buffer block 18 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner wall of the impact block 17. A limit spring 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the impact block 17 and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the buffer block 18. An impact plate 22 is connected to the impact block 17 via the limit spring 20. A weight 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the impact plate 22. A slider 23 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the impact plate 22. A slide rail 21 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 23. An impact block 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 21. Abutment plates 31 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of a connecting ring 25 and a rotating ring 26. Circumferential plates 10 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the connecting ring 25 and the rotating ring 26.
[0043] Furthermore, when the vehicle is driving, turning, or traversing bumpy roads, the annular cover 5, impact block 17, buffer block 18, and other structures undergo acceleration changes along with the vehicle chassis. Due to inertia, the weight 19 tends to maintain its original state of motion, causing a relative displacement between the weight 19 and the accelerating or decelerating annular cover 5. During this process, the limiting spring 20 is compressed, accumulating elastic potential energy. When the relative displacement reaches its limit, the weight 19, under the restoring force of the limiting spring 20, violently impacts the inner wall of the annular cover 5. The high-frequency shock wave generated by the impact is transmitted to the surface of the annular cover 5. Furthermore, during steering or acceleration, the weight 19 is thrown radially under centrifugal force. The weight 19 drives the impact plate 22, which in turn drives the slider 23 to slide along the slide rail 21. The weight 19 impacts the inner wall of the annular cover 5, and the limiting spring 20 is stretched during this process. The weight 19 and the impact plate 22 are reset under the restoring force of the limiting spring 20. In winter, after wading or after de-icing agent splashes, water easily seeps into the slot 9 and the insertion hole 14 of the positioning ring 6. When freezing occurs, the positioning ring 6 and the annular cover 5 will freeze together. The weight 19, through continuous impact, generates low-frequency, intermittent... Stress release disrupts the ice crystal growth interface, shattering the microstructure of the ice crystals or preventing the ice layer from forming a continuous rigid bond, thus preventing the formation of a solid ice bridge. This avoids the dust cover 3, positioning ring 6, and annular cover 5 from freezing together, solving the problem of material cracking or tearing caused by icing. During driving, vibration shakes off mud, sand, and de-icing agent residue adhering to the surface of the annular cover 5, preventing these impurities from hardening due to long-term static pressure, thereby ensuring that the annular cover 5 always has effective buffer space. The micro-vibration of the annular cover 5 can prevent jamming between the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6. The static friction and adhesion caused by dust accumulation or slight oxidation of the interlocking structure helps maintain the mobility of the interlocking structure and facilitates subsequent disassembly. At the same time, the impact and reset action of the weight 19 provides continuous stress relief for the annular cover 5 and other structures, reducing the risk of material fatigue accumulation and extending the service life of the entire inner ball cage assembly. In addition, a buffer block 18 is provided inside the impact block 17. When the annular cover 5 is impacted and deformed, the annular cover 5 squeezes the impact block 17, and the buffer block 18 provides support to prevent the impact block 17 from being excessively deformed and thus affecting its internal structure.
[0044] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8One embodiment of the present invention provides a high-precision boring process for an automotive inner CV joint, comprising a CV joint body 1, a connecting rod 2, and a dust cover 3. The dust cover 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the CV joint body 1 by a clamp 4. A positioning ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dust cover 3. An annular cover 5 is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the positioning ring 6. A sealing ring 32 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the annular cover 5. A second spring 37 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing ring 32. An inertial block 34 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second spring 37. The inertial block 34 is located inside the annular cover 5. The outer wall of the inertial block 34 is provided with... A sloping block 36 has a first spring 33 fixedly connected to its side wall, and an annular cover 5 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first spring 33. The sloping block 36 and the first spring 33 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inertial block 34. The outer wall of the inertial block 34 is symmetrically provided with sloping grooves 35. The inertial block 34 is continuously arranged on the side wall of the sloping grooves 35, and the sloping grooves 35 are movably fitted onto the outer wall of the sloping block 36. A sealing film 30 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning ring 6 without the insertion hole 14, and the tear plate 15 is attached to the sealing film 30. An easy-tear point 16 is provided between the positioning ring 6 and the easy-tear ring 13.
[0045] Furthermore, the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6 form a protective barrier outside the clamp 4, thus protecting the clamp 4. The contact surface between the annular cover 5 and the dust cover 3 is sealed by the sealing ring 32. During long-term use, the annular cover 5 undergoes slight deformation, increasing the gap between the annular cover 5 and the dust cover 3. At this time, the second spring 37 releases its elastic potential energy, causing the sealing ring 32 to compress the dust cover 3, ensuring full contact between the dust cover 3 and the sealing ring 32. After spring 37 releases some of its elastic potential energy, the preload of the second spring 37 decreases. At this time, when the vehicle is driving, turning, or passing over a bumpy road, the inertial block 34 compresses the second spring 37 under its own inertia or centrifugal force. Simultaneously, the inertial block 34 drives the inclined block 36 to compress the first spring 33. The inertial block 34 and the inclined block 36 undergo relative displacement, causing the inclined block 36 to move from the inclined groove 35 near the second spring 37 to the inclined groove 35 away from the second spring 37. The inclined block 36 is in contact with one end of the inclined block 36 while the other end can slide against it, so that the inertial block 34 can only move towards the sealing ring 32. Under the action of the inclined block 36, the inertial block 34 cannot move away from the sealing ring 32. As a result, after the second spring 37 releases the preload, it will continue to be compressed under the action of the inertial block 34 as the vehicle moves. This ensures that the second spring 37 can further squeeze and drive the sealing ring 32, always maintaining a tight fit with the dust cover 3. This avoids the problem of the gap between the annular cover 5 and the dust cover 3 becoming larger, which would lead to the failure of protection. It extends the reliability and service life. The adaptive sealing adjustment mechanism does not require additional manual intervention and achieves dynamic compensation by relying on the inertia and centrifugal force during vehicle movement. A sealing film 30 is set on the positioning ring 6 to seal the easy-tear point 16 on the positioning ring 6. When disassembling, the sealing film 30 at the tear plate 15 is cut open with a knife, and the easy-tear ring 13 is pulled by the tear plate 15 to disassemble.
[0046] Working principle: The annular cover 5, protective plate 29, rotating plate 27 and other structures pass through the connecting rod 2 and dust cover 3. The snap-fit block 7 is inserted into the slot 9 so that the clamp 4 is located between the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6. The circumferential plate 10 is moved so that the plug-in block 12 is inserted into the plug hole 14 to connect and fix the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6.
[0047] When the annular cover 5 is subjected to radial impact, the circumferential plate 10 and the rib 24 absorb and buffer the impact force to prevent the annular cover 5 from squeezing the clamp 4. When the annular cover 5 is subjected to axial impact, the protective plate 29 bears the impact and the buffer spring 28 buffers it.
[0048] When the vehicle is driving, turning, or passing over bumpy roads, the weight 19 compresses the limiting spring 20 under the action of inertial force. The limiting spring 20 drives the weight 19 to hit the inner wall of the annular cover 5, causing the annular cover 5 to vibrate slightly and shake off the attached objects on the surface of the annular cover 5. When performing maintenance, external force is applied to separate the annular cover 5 from the positioning ring 6. When the annular cover 5 and the positioning ring 6 are difficult to separate, the tear plate 15 is dragged to make the easy-tear ring 13 break and separate along the easy-tear point 16.
