DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the attached embodiment of the utility model Figure 1-6 , clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] As shown in the figure, a split control arm bushing comprises an outer sleeve 1, an inner sleeve 2, a rubber bushing 3, a first latch 4 and a second latch 5. The outer sleeve 1, the inner sleeve 2 and the rubber bushing 3 are integrally vulcanized and formed. The first latch 4 and the second latch 5 are respectively inserted into the inner sleeve 2 from both ends of the inner sleeve 2 and are interference-connected with the inner sleeve 2. The end surfaces of the first latch 4 and the second latch 5 are respectively connected with a first limiting tube 6 and a second limiting tube 7. The end surfaces of the first limiting tube 6 and the second limiting tube 7 are respectively formed with a plurality of annular arrays of first limiting plates 61 and second limiting plates 71. The outer surfaces of the first limiting plates 61 and the second limiting plates 71 are respectively formed with first limiting protrusions 62 and second limiting protrusions 73. The outer diameters of the first limiting tube 6 and the second limiting tube 7 are consistent with or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner sleeve 2, so that the first limiting tube 6 and the second limiting tube 7 will not be inserted into the inner sleeve 2 along with the first latch 4 and the second latch 5. To produce jamming, a first limiting ring groove 21 and a second limiting ring groove 22 are respectively matched with the first limiting protrusion 62 and the second limiting protrusion 73 on the inner wall of the inner sleeve 2. When the first latch pin 4 and the second latch pin 5 are respectively inserted into the inner sleeve 2 from both ends of the inner sleeve 2 and are interference connected with the inner sleeve 2, the first limiting protrusion 62 and the second limiting protrusion 73 are respectively inserted into the first limiting ring groove 21 and the second limiting ring groove 22. In the above structure, the first limiting protrusion 62 and the second limiting protrusion 73 are respectively inserted into the first limiting ring groove 21 and the second limiting ring groove 22, respectively, and axial limiting is applied between the first latch pin 4 and the inner sleeve 2 and between the second latch pin 5 and the inner sleeve 2, respectively, to prevent the first latch pin 4 and the second latch pin 5 from loosening in the inner sleeve 2, and also to prevent the first latch pin 4 and the second latch pin 5 from falling out of the inner sleeve 2, to ensure that the first latch pin 4 and the second latch pin 5 can stably support and shock-absorb the wheel, thereby ensuring the safety of vehicle driving.

[0024] In order to further strengthen the axial limiting effect on the first latch pin 4 and the second latch pin 5, a limiting column 8 with an outer diameter matching the inner diameter of the inner sleeve 2 is arranged between the first limiting cylinder 6 and the second limiting cylinder 7 in the inner sleeve 2, and a limiting portion 81 is formed on the end of the limiting column 8 facing the first limiting cylinder 6 and inserted between a plurality of first limiting plates 61 and in contact with the inner side surface of the first limiting plate 61, and a limiting inclined surface 82 is formed on the end of the limiting column 8 facing the second limiting cylinder 7, and a spring 9 is arranged between the limiting portion 81 and the first limiting cylinder 6 to push the limiting column 8 to limit The inclined surface 82 contacts the second limiting plate 71. When the first latch pin 4 and the second latch pin 5 are inserted and interference-connected in the inner sleeve 2, the first latch pin 4 and the second limiting tube 7 are inserted into the inner sleeve 2, so that the first limiting protrusion 62 is inserted into the first limiting ring groove 21, and then the limiting column 8 is inserted into the inner sleeve 2 with the limiting portion 81 facing the first limiting tube 6. Since the outer diameter of the limiting column 8 matches the inner diameter of the inner sleeve 2, the limiting column 8 can slide in the inner sleeve 2. When the second latch pin 5 is inserted into the inner sleeve 2, the second limiting protrusion 73 is inserted into the first limiting ring groove 21. Before the second limiting ring groove 22 is completed, the end of the second limiting plate 71 pushes the limiting column 8 to slide toward the first limiting tube 6 so that the limiting portion 81 is inserted between the first limiting plates 61 and contacts the first limiting plates 61 and compresses the spring 9. The sliding of the limiting column 8 makes room for the second protrusion to be inserted into the second limiting ring groove 22. After the second limiting protrusion 73 is inserted into the second limiting ring groove 22, the limiting column 8 slides toward the second limiting tube 7 under the action of the spring 9 so that the limiting inclined surface 82 contacts the end of the second limiting plate 71. At this time, part of the limiting portion 81 is still located between the first limiting plates 61 and the first limiting plates 61. A limit plate 61 is in contact with the first limit plate 61, and radial limitation is applied to the first limit protrusion 62 and the second limit protrusion 73 through the contact between the limit portion 81 and the first limit plate 61 and the contact between the limit inclined surface 82 and the second limit plate 71, so that the first limit protrusion 62 and the second limit protrusion 73 are more stably maintained in the first limit ring groove 21 and the second limit ring groove 22, and axial limitation is applied to the first pin 4 and the second pin 5, thereby further enhancing the stability of the interference connection between the first pin 4 and the second pin 5 and the inner sleeve 2.

[0025] In order to facilitate the processing and production of the first limiting cylinder 6 and the second limiting cylinder 7, the first limiting cylinder 6 and the second limiting cylinder 7 are respectively screwed on the first latch 4 and the second latch 5. Through this detachable connection method, the first latch 4 and the second latch 5 and the first limiting cylinder 6 and the second limiting cylinder 7 can be processed and formed with different materials and then connected. There is no need to replace the original production line involving the first latch 4 and the second latch 5, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0026] In order to achieve a better limiting effect, the first limiting cylinder 6, the first limiting plate 61 and the first limiting protrusion 62 are integrally formed of stainless steel, the second limiting cylinder 7, the second limiting plate 71 and the second limiting protrusion 73 are integrally formed of stainless steel, the first latch 4 and the second latch 5 are made of aluminum alloy, and the first latch 4 and the second latch 5 made of aluminum alloy reduce the unsprung mass of the car. The first limiting cylinder 6 and the second limiting cylinder 7 supported by stainless steel ensure a certain toughness so that the first limiting protrusion 62 and the second limiting protrusion 73 can be inserted into the first limiting ring groove 21 and the second limiting ring groove 22 while having good strength, thereby ensuring that the first limiting cylinder 6 and the second limiting cylinder 7 have a better limiting effect on the first latch 4 and the second latch 5.

[0027] In order to strengthen the connection stability between the rubber bushing 3 and the inner sleeve 2 , a plurality of reinforcing convex rings 23 embedded in the rubber bushing 3 are formed on the outer surface of the inner sleeve 2 , and reinforcing grooves 24 are formed on the side surfaces of the reinforcing convex rings 23 , into which the rubber bushing 3 is embedded.

[0028] In order to strengthen the connection stability between the rubber bushing 3 and the outer sleeve 1 , a reinforcement ring 11 embedded in the rubber bushing 3 is formed at the end of the outer sleeve 1 .

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
