Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to a dust cover connection structure of an automobile steering gear input shaft. Background Art

[0002] The steering shaft of a car is a force transmission shaft used to transmit the steering torque applied by the driver to the steering wheel to the steering gear. Its upper part is fixedly connected to the steering wheel, and the steering gear is installed at the lower part. Therefore, the upper end of the input shaft needs to pass through the through hole on the body sheet metal and extend into the cab to connect with the steering wheel. In order to prevent rain, dust, external air, noise, etc. from entering the cab, it is necessary to set a steering shaft dust cover between the through hole and the steering shaft for isolation. The existing dustproof structure only consists of a dust cover, an O-ring and a press-fit interference fit with the motor housing. However, the dust cover holding force of this assembly method is insufficient, and the dust cover assembly may be skewed or loose when the engine is assembled. The dust cover rubs and collides with the motor input shaft during driving, resulting in abnormal steering noise. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a new dust cover connection structure for the input shaft of a car steering gear. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a dust cover connection structure for an automobile steering gear input shaft, so as to solve the problem of insufficient holding force of the existing automobile steering gear dust cover connection structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the connection between the side surface and the upper end surface of the connecting protruding ring is a right angle, and the connection between the upper end surface and the side surface of the connecting ring groove is a right angle.

[0007] Furthermore, a chamfer is provided at the connection between the side surface and the lower end surface of the connecting protruding ring, and a chamfer is provided at the connection between the lower end surface of the connecting ring groove and the outer side wall of the rotating housing.

[0008] Furthermore, a chamfered surface is provided on the inner side wall of the dust cover below the connecting protruding ring.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring groove is formed on the outer side wall of the mechanical housing along the circumferential direction, a sealing ring is arranged in the sealing ring groove, and the sealing ring is interference-fitted with the inner side wall of the dust cover.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing ring groove is located above the connecting ring groove.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model adds a concave-convex groove clamping structure on the basis of the original interference fit of the sealing ring to the connection mode between the mechanical housing and the dust cover. On the one hand, it can make the connection seamless, the sealing and sound insulation are better, and the modification method is simple and the cost is low; on the other hand, the holding force of the dust cover is strengthened, which can effectively prevent the dust cover from loosening or falling off.
