Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a universal joint for a trenching machine. Background Art

[0002] A constant velocity universal joint is a device that connects two shafts with an angle between them or with a change in relative position, and enables the two shafts to transmit power at the same angular velocity. It can overcome the problem of unequal velocity in ordinary cross-axis universal joints. The constant velocity universal joints widely used at present are mainly ball-fork universal joints and ball-cage universal joints. The universal joint is composed of a bell-shaped housing, a star-shaped sleeve, a retaining frame, steel balls, a transmission shaft and other components. The reversal of the universal joint is achieved by the rotation of the steel balls in the bell-shaped housing. However, the service life of the steel balls and the retaining frame is easily shortened due to the large friction during the rotation process. At the same time, the disassembly process is relatively cumbersome when inspecting and repairing the universal joint. Summary of the invention

[0054] The server provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Embodiment 1:

[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a universal joint for a trencher, comprising a bell housing 1, a star sleeve 2, a retaining frame 3, a steel ball 4, a steel ball hole 5 and a transmission shaft 6, and also comprising an oil inlet component 7, which is used to inject lubricating oil into the retaining frame 3; a flow component 8, which is connected to the oil inlet component 7, and is used to transmit the lubricating oil to the steel ball hole 5 and the surface of the retaining frame 3; an oil storage component 9, which is connected to the flow component 8, and is used to store excess lubricating oil; wherein the bell housing 1 and the transmission shaft 6 are fixedly connected by a clamping assembly 10.

[0057] Furthermore, the oil inlet component 7 includes an oil chamber 71, which is arranged in the top of the retaining frame 3; an oil inlet port 72, which is arranged at the top of the retaining frame 3 and is connected to the oil chamber 71; a pipe cover 73, which is detachably arranged in the oil inlet port 72 through a fixing member; wherein the oil chamber 71 is connected to the flow component 8.

[0058] Furthermore, the flow component 8 includes a pipe 81, which is arranged in the retaining frame 3, and its two ends connect the oil chamber 71 and the steel ball hole 5; a flow limiting plate 82, which is fixed in one end of the pipe 81 close to the steel ball hole 5; a pipe 2 83, which is arranged in the retaining frame 3, and its two ends connect the pipe 1 81 and the surface of the retaining frame 3; a sealing member 84, which is movably arranged in the pipe 2 83.
