For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.
[0052] 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.
[0053] Embodiment 1:
[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a drive shaft, including a transmission shaft tube 1, a spline shaft 2, a telescopic sleeve 3 and a universal joint 4, and also includes: a spline groove 5, which is arranged in the telescopic sleeve 3; a lubrication unit 6, which is arranged on the telescopic sleeve 3 and connected to the spline groove 5.
[0055] Furthermore, the lubrication unit 6 includes an oil filling channel 7, which is arranged on the telescopic sleeve 3; a plurality of branch channels 8, which are respectively connected to the oil filling channel 7 and connected to the bottom surface of the spline groove 5; and a sealing cover 9, which is fixedly installed on the oil filling port of the oil filling channel 7.
[0056] Furthermore, it also includes an oil storage channel 10, which is arranged on the spline shaft 2; a plurality of lubrication components 11, which are evenly distributed on the spline shaft 2 and connected to the oil storage channel 10; wherein the oil storage channel 10 corresponds to the position of the middle flow channel 8.
[0057] Furthermore, the lubrication assembly 11 includes a plurality of oil drain passages 12, which are arranged in a circular array on the side walls of the spline shaft 2 and are connected to the oil storage passage 10; a plurality of first mounting grooves 13, which are respectively opened on the bottom surface of the matching groove of the spline shaft 2 and are connected to each oil drain passage 12; and a plurality of balls 14, which are rotatably installed in each first mounting groove 13.
[0058] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, when it is necessary to lubricate the connection end of the telescopic sleeve 3 and the spline shaft 2, the sealing cover 9 is opened and the lubricating oil is added, and the lubricating oil enters the oil filling channel 7, and is diverted from the oil filling channel 7 along the three branch channels 8, and the lubricating oil flows from each branch channel 8 into the spline groove 5, effectively lubricating the spline groove 5. In addition, the lubricating oil in the spline groove 5 will flow into the oil storage channel 10 of the spline shaft 2, and the lubricating oil in the oil storage channel 10 will flow along each oil discharge channel 12 respectively, and flow into the matching groove of the spline shaft 2 and the spline groove 5. The ball 14 is rotatably installed at the outer end of the oil discharge channel 12 located at the spline shaft 2, thereby reducing the friction between the spline shaft 2 and the spline groove 5, and improving the service life of the spline shaft 2. In addition, each oil discharge channel 12 is distributed in an annular array, which plays a role in uniform lubrication.
[0059] Embodiment 2:
[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, it also includes: a connecting rod 15, which is fixedly connected to the universal joint 4 through a connecting block; a fixing block 16, which is detachably connected to the connecting rod 15 through a fastener; and a shock absorbing assembly 17, which is arranged on the fixing block 16.
[0061] Furthermore, the shock absorbing assembly 17 includes a movable groove 18, which is arranged on the fixed block 16; a slide groove 19, which is arranged on the side wall of the movable groove 18; a buffer block 20, which is slidably installed in the slide groove 19; a second installation groove 21, which is arranged on the buffer block 20; an airbag 22, which is installed in the second installation groove 21; and a support assembly 23, which is installed in the movable groove 18, and the output end is in contact with one side of the airbag 22.
[0062] Furthermore, the support assembly 23 includes a support plate 24, which is movably installed in the second installation groove 21, and one end of which is in contact with one side of the airbag 22; a fixed rod 25, which is arranged in the movable groove 18; a pair of movable blocks 26, which are movably mounted on both ends of the fixed rod 25; a pair of springs 27, which are respectively mounted on the fixed rod 25 and fixedly connected between each movable block 26 and the side wall of the movable groove 18; a pair of connecting rods 28, whose two ends are rotatably connected between each movable block 26 and the support plate 24.
[0063] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above structure, during the driving process of the automobile, the transmission shaft as a whole will be subjected to axial vibration impact force. When it is necessary to relieve the axial impact force at both ends of the transmission shaft, the connecting ends of the universal joints 4 at both ends are provided with shock absorbing components 17. The impact force squeezes the buffer block 20, and the buffer block 20 moves inward along the slide groove 19. At the same time, the support plate 24 moves along the inner side of the second mounting groove 21 to squeeze the airbag 22. One end of a pair of connecting rods 28 outside the support plate 24 rotates outward respectively, and the other end of the pair of connecting rods 28 pushes each moving block 26 to move along both sides of the connecting rod 15. At this time, the springs 27 at both ends are compressed, and the springs 27 support the moving block 26, so that the connecting rod 28 can always support the support plate 24. Under the action of the elastic force of the spring 27 and the elastic force of the airbag 22, the impact force can be buffered, thereby relieving the axial impact force on the transmission shaft as a whole.
[0064] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprise", "include" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise one..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element. In addition, it should be pointed out that the scope of the methods and devices in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to performing functions in the order shown or discussed, and may also include performing functions in a substantially simultaneous manner or in reverse order according to the functions involved, for example, the described method may be performed in an order different from that described, and various steps may also be added, omitted, or combined. In addition, the features described with reference to certain examples may be combined in other examples.
[0065] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present application, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope of protection of the claims, all of which are within the protection of the present application.
