DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the utility model.

In this article, "one" not only means "only one", but also means "more than one", and "several" includes "two" and "more than two".

[0027] In this article, it should be noted that, 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. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] Reference Figure 1~Figure 5 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, proposes a control arm bushing structure, including:

[0030] A main body 1 having a through hole 2-1;

[0031] The middle skeleton 4 has a feed end 4-1, a connection end 4-2 and a clamping end 4-3 which are connected in sequence. The cross-sectional size of the feed end 4-1 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the clamping end 4-3. After the feed end 4-1 passes through the through hole 2-1, the clamping end 4-3 is clamped and set on the main body 1, and the connection end 4-2 is located in the through hole 2-1.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the middle skeleton 4 from detaching from the main body 1, the two ends of the middle skeleton 4 are designed as a feed end 4-1 and a clamping end 4-3 structure. When the middle skeleton 4 is installed in the through hole 2-1, the feed end 4-1 can pass through the through hole 2-1, while the clamping end 4-3 will not pass through the through hole 2-1 and will be clamped on the main body 1. After the middle skeleton 4 is placed in the through hole 2-1, the main body 1 will be subjected to a certain effect and some expansion changes will occur, causing the through hole 2-1 to become smaller, and the feed end 4-1 will also be clamped on the main body 1. After the two ends of the middle skeleton 4 are clamped together with the feed end 4-1 and the clamping end 4-3, they can be firmly fixed on the main body 1. This structural design is ingenious and prevents the middle skeleton 4 from detaching from the main body 1. The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rubber 2 bushing with a simple structure and low cost, which can meet the requirements of its own rigidity and the requirements of product fatigue and comfort, and at the same time prevent the middle skeleton 4 from falling by improving the structure. Reduce after-sales claims. The rubber bushing 2 of this embodiment did not break after reaching the required number of fatigue times during the bench fatigue test.

[0033] Furthermore, the subject 1 comprises:

[0034] Inner core 5;

[0035] The outer frame 3 is arranged outside the inner core 5 and forms an installation space with the inner core 5;

[0036] The rubber 2 is arranged in the installation space, and the through hole 2-1 is located on the rubber 2. Furthermore, the through hole 2-1 is arranged in the same direction as the inner core 5. Furthermore, after the rubber 2 is vulcanized, it is integrally formed with the middle frame 4, the outer frame 3 and the inner core 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, due to the change and optimization of the structure of the middle frame 4, the durability requirements are greatly improved while ensuring the rigidity remains unchanged, and it is not necessary to increase the hardness of the rubber 2 or change the formula of the rubber 2 to improve the durability of the product. The axial rigidity of the product is improved, and the steering hysteresis of the whole vehicle is improved.

[0038] Furthermore, the through hole 2-1 has a first straight end face 2-2, a first curved end face 2-3, a third curved end face 2-4 and a fourth curved end face 2-5 which are connected in sequence, and the clamping end 4-3 has an annular end face 4-6. After the rubber 2 is vulcanized, the annular end face 4-6 is connected to the first straight end face 2-2, the first curved end face 2-3, the third curved end face 2-4 and the fourth curved end face 2-5.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate installation, the through hole 2-1 is designed to be a U-shaped structure, that is, the first straight end face 2-2, the first curved end face 2-3, the third curved end face 2-4 and the fourth curved end face 2-5 are connected in sequence. The design of the U-shaped structure is to enhance the strength of the middle skeleton 4.

[0040] Furthermore, the feeding end 4-1 and the connecting end 4-2 form a first clamping surface 4-4, and the clamping end 4-3 and the connecting end 4-2 form a second clamping surface 4-5. The first clamping surface 4-4 and the second clamping surface 4-5 are respectively located on both sides of the two end surfaces of the rubber 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the rubber 2 expands, the through hole 2-1 is clamped between the first clamping surface 4-4 and the second clamping surface 4-5, thereby preventing the middle frame 4 from falling off from the through hole 2-1.

[0042] Furthermore, the feed end 4 - 1 has a guide slope, and the feed end 4 - 1 slides into the through hole 2 - 1 through the guide slope and abuts against the edge of the end of the through hole 2 - 1 .

[0043] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the middle skeleton 4 to pass through the through hole 2-1, this scheme designs several guide bevels on the feed end 4-1. After being guided by the guide bevels, the feed end 4-1 first enters the through hole 2-1 at one end which is smaller and can enter directly. As the guide bevels contact the edges, the feed end 4-1 continues to increase until it completely enters the through hole 2-1.

[0044] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
