AI Technical Summary
In existing steering gears, difficult installation and insufficient lubrication of gear shafts and needle roller bearings lead to wear and abnormal noise problems.
A steering gear assembly structure is designed by fitting spacer assemblies at the bottom of the gear shaft and providing needle roller bearings on its outer peripheral side. The spacer assembly includes a first spacer and a second spacer, and the second spacer is provided with a deformation cavity filled with paraffin. The deformation cavity expands to squeeze the gear shaft and store lubricating oil in the cavity to achieve lubrication and frictional enhancement.
The deformation cavity of thermally expanded increases the friction between the gear shaft and the spacer assembly, ensuring a tight fit, and effectively lubricates the bearing by extruding lubricating oil, extending service life and reducing wear and abnormal noise.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of steering gears, and in particular relates to a steering gear combination structure. Background Art
[0002] The gear shaft is a key component in the steering gear. Generally, the gear shaft is assembled with a deep groove ball bearing or a needle roller bearing to obtain rotational support. When in service, the inner roller of the needle roller bearing and the outer circle of the gear shaft repeatedly rotate in contact. The surface of the gear shaft mating point must be smooth and free of defects such as dents, so as to avoid loose fit, abnormal noise and other undesirable conditions caused by wear of the needle roller bearing roller, so that the needle roller bearing has a longer durability.
[0003] When installing needle roller bearings, due to the interference fit between the needle roller bearings and the gear shaft, installation methods such as hammering are required, which causes installation difficulties and installation damage. In addition, the lubricating oil inside the bearing is applied once. After long-term use, the needle rollers will cause quality problems such as wear and abnormal noise. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims at the deficiencies of the prior art and provides a steering gear combination structure.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a steering gear gear combination structure, including a steering gear housing, a gear shaft is installed in the steering gear housing, and is characterized in that: a spacer sleeve assembly is sleeved on the bottom of the gear shaft, and a needle bearing is provided on the outer peripheral side of the spacer sleeve assembly; the spacer sleeve assembly includes a first spacer sleeve and a second spacer sleeve, wherein the first spacer sleeve is abutted against the needle bearing, and the second spacer sleeve is sleeved on the gear shaft.
[0006] Optionally, a deformation cavity is provided inside the second spacer, and the deformation cavity is filled with paraffin. The material of the second spacer may be one of resin and rubber.
[0007] Optionally, a storage cavity is provided inside the first spacer, a plurality of oil outlet holes are provided on one end surface of the first spacer away from the second spacer, an oil filling port is provided on one end surface of the first spacer, a sealing bolt is connected to the inner thread of the oil filling port, and the oil filling port is connected to the storage cavity.
[0008] Optionally, the needle roller bearing comprises a bearing housing, and a retaining frame inside the bearing housing is equipped with at least two needle rollers.
[0009] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] 1. Due to the setting of the spacer assembly, the bearing can be driven to generate greater heat when the gear shaft rotates, causing the paraffin in the deformation cavity to expand due to the heat. On the one hand, the gear shaft can be squeezed through the expanded deformation cavity, increasing the friction between the second spacer and the gear shaft, making the two fit more closely. On the other hand, the cavity of the storage cavity can be squeezed through the expanded deformation cavity, and the lubricating oil in the storage cavity can be squeezed out from the oil outlet hole, thereby achieving the effect of lubricating the bearing.
[0011] 2. The second spacer, which is relatively soft, can be easily installed on the gear shaft, thus effectively avoiding damage to the gear shaft and bearing during installation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0017] As shown in Figure 1-3, a steering gear assembly structure includes a steering gear housing 10, a gear shaft 11 is installed in the steering gear housing 10, and is characterized in that: a spacer assembly is sleeved at the bottom of the gear shaft 11, a needle bearing is provided on the outer peripheral side of the spacer assembly, the needle bearing includes a bearing housing 14, and a retainer inside the bearing housing 14 is installed with at least two needle rollers 15;
[0018] The spacer assembly includes a first spacer 12 and a second spacer 13, wherein the first spacer 12 is abutted against the needle bearing, and the second spacer 13 is mounted on the gear shaft 11. A deformation cavity 17 is opened inside the second spacer 13, and the deformation cavity 17 is filled with paraffin. The material of the second spacer 13 can be one of resin and rubber, so that the second spacer 13 is easier to expand and deform.
[0019] A storage chamber 16 is provided inside the first spacer 12, and a plurality of oil outlet holes 20 are provided on one end surface of the first spacer 12 away from the second spacer 13. An oil filling port 18 is provided on one end surface of the first spacer 12, and a sealing bolt 19 is threadedly connected to the oil filling port 18. The oil filling port 18 is connected to the storage chamber 16, and lubricating oil can be added to the storage chamber 16 through the sealing bolt 19 and the oil filling port 18.
[0020] When in use, install the spacer assembly into the needle bearing, replacing the inner ring of the needle bearing, and then fit the whole assembly onto the gear shaft 11. Since the material of the second spacer 13 is relatively soft, it is relatively easy to fit, effectively avoiding damage to the gear shaft 11 and the bearing during installation. When the gear shaft starts to rotate, a large amount of heat will be generated inside it, and the heat will melt the paraffin in the deformation cavity 17, causing the deformation cavity 17 to expand. On the one hand, the expanded deformation cavity 17 can squeeze the gear shaft 11, increase the friction between the second spacer 13 and the gear shaft 11, and make the two fit more closely.
[0021] On the other hand, the expanded deformation cavity 17 can squeeze the cavity of the storage cavity 16, so that the lubricating oil in the storage cavity 16 can be squeezed out from the oil outlet 20 to achieve the effect of lubricating the bearing. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
