Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thrust rods, in particular to a friction welding thrust rod. Background Art
[0002] Thrust rods are mainly used in single-axle or double-rear-axle heavy-duty vehicles with non-independent suspension of trucks or buses, connecting the frame and the axle. Their main purpose is to overcome the problem that leaf springs can only transmit vertical force and lateral force but cannot transmit traction, braking force and their corresponding reaction torque. At present, various types of thrust rods are widely used in trucks and buses produced by major domestic OEMs. In the process of thrust rod processing and production, friction welding is usually used to weld the rod head and the connecting rod.
[0003] The existing friction welding thrust rod cannot be adjusted in length after friction welding. When installed on axles of different sizes, thrust rods of different lengths need to be replaced for installation, resulting in a reduction in the installation range of the thrust rod. At the same time, the thrust rod is only connected by a connecting rod, which makes it easy for the connecting rod to break when subjected to force, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the thrust rod during operation and a reduction in the working efficiency of the thrust rod.
[0004] According to the publication number: CN217475084U, a friction welding thrust rod includes a connecting rod and a rod head connected to the end of the connecting rod, the connecting end of the connecting rod and the tail of the rod head is partially thickened, the inner diameter of the end of the connecting rod is smaller than the inner diameter of the middle section, and the outer diameter of the end is larger than the outer diameter of the middle section. The friction welding thrust rod of the utility model increases the friction welding area by shortening the length of the tail of the rod head, and locally thickens the connecting end of the connecting rod and the rod head, thereby avoiding the problem of fracture at the friction welding point between the rod head and the connecting rod, and prolonging the service life of the overall thrust rod, meeting the use demand in the market.
[0005] According to the thrust rod introduced above, the length of the thrust rod cannot be adjusted after friction welding. When installed on axles of different sizes, thrust rods of different lengths need to be replaced for installation, resulting in a decrease in the installation range of the thrust rod. At the same time, the thrust rod is only connected by a connecting rod, which makes it easy for the connecting rod to break when subjected to force, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the thrust rod during operation and a decrease in the working efficiency of the thrust rod. Therefore, we need to propose a friction welded thrust rod. Utility Model Content
