Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile articulated shaft fork equipment, in particular to an automobile articulated shaft fork with a large steering angle. Background Art

[0002] The universal coupling includes a cross shaft in the middle and universal joint shaft forks at both ends. The coupling is mainly used in places where there are angles in the axis. However, the cross shaft is flat, so the steering angle of the cross shaft universal joint is limited. The steering angle is 15-20°, and the cross shaft universal joint cannot achieve torque transmission exceeding this steering angle.

[0003] The application number is CN202122800991.X, which discloses a new type of automobile universal joint shaft fork with a large steering angle, including a fork end with a U-shaped front end, a pipe column extending from the bottom of the U-shaped shape, and a connecting flange formed by the expansion of the rear end of the pipe column. The fork end has two fork legs, and the fork legs are provided with shaft holes, and the shaft holes on the two fork legs are symmetrical; the cross section of the shaft hole is in the shape of a runway, and the two ends of the shaft hole in the length direction are inclined, and the length of the end of the plug hole opposite to the fork leg is small; the inclined outer end of one shaft hole is combined with the inclined inner end of the other shaft hole to form a complete circular hole. The cross-section of the shaft hole is in the shape of a runway, and when the torque is transmitted, the shaft end can produce an axial displacement in the shaft hole. When the shaft fork is turned vertically, the cross shaft will produce an inclination angle in the shaft hole. This angle can increase the steering angle of the universal joint to transmit torque, and two complete circular holes are formed between the inclined inner ends and the inclined outer ends of the two shaft holes. When the shaft end of the cross shaft is at the circular hole, it forms a limit fit with the shaft hole to ensure stable torque transmission.

[0004] The new automobile universal joint shaft fork with a large steering angle disclosed in the above document has the following defects: during the installation process of the universal joint shaft fork, the shaft fork needs to be firmly installed on the steering knuckle. After the shaft fork is locked on the steering knuckle by the flange, the shaft fork cannot be rotated and adjusted on the steering knuckle, thereby failing to achieve steering adjustment at a larger angle.

[0005] It can be seen from this that the existing new automobile universal joint shaft fork does not have the function of all-round steering adjustment, and it is necessary to improve the existing deficiencies and provide a function that can adjust the shaft fork in all directions. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a car knuckle fork with a large steering angle to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

Since the yoke can rotate in all directions on the rotating block, the yoke cooperates with the clamping rod to enable the movable block to achieve all-round rotation, thereby improving the flexibility of the structure. When the shaft yoke structure needs to be disassembled and replaced, just remove the bolts, and the loading and unloading is simple.

[0009] Furthermore, a stopper is welded on the outer wall of the fixing rod, and a slot is provided at the bottom end of the stopper. The purpose of such arrangement is that, during the use of the structure, a steering knuckle can be installed inside the car through the slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer walls of both sides of the yoke are provided with limit grooves, and the inner walls of the limit grooves are rotatably connected with clamping rods. The purpose of such arrangement is that during the use of the structure, the rotating block drives the outer yoke to rotate, and the yoke drives the two clamping rods to rotate.

[0011] Furthermore, the connection structure includes a movable block, and the movable block has a card slot on the outer wall thereof, and the card slot passes through the movable block. The purpose of such a setting is that when the structure is used, the two card rods drive the movable block to rotate, and the movable block drives the other two card rods to rotate.

[0012] Furthermore, the four clamping rods are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the clamping slot. The purpose of this arrangement is that during the use of the structure, two clamping rods drive the movable block to rotate, and the movable block drives the other two clamping rods to rotate, so that the other two clamping rods drive the tire to achieve steering adjustment.

[0013] Furthermore, a protrusion is welded on the inner wall of the slot near the four clamping rods, and the clamping rod is clamped on the outer wall of the protrusion. The purpose of this arrangement is that when the structure is used, the protrusion limits the clamping rod in the slot, so that the two clamping rods can be used to drive the movable block to rotate, and the movable block can drive the other two clamping rods to rotate.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) The utility model provides a rotating block and a movable block. During the use of the structure, one steering knuckle is installed inside the car through a slot, and the other is installed with a tire. When steering is required, the fixed rod starts to rotate, the rotating block drives the external yoke to rotate, the yoke drives two clamping rods to rotate, the two clamping rods drive the movable block to rotate, the movable block drives the other two clamping rods to rotate, so that the other two clamping rods drive the tire to achieve steering adjustment. Since the yoke can rotate in all directions on the rotating block, the yoke cooperates with the clamping rod to enable the movable block to rotate in all directions, thereby improving the flexibility of the structure. When the shaft yoke structure needs to be disassembled and replaced, the bolts can be removed, and the assembly and disassembly is simple.
