[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a long-life anti-friction automobile leaf spring. Background Art

[0002] A leaf spring is one of the most widely used elastic elements in an automobile suspension. It is an approximately equal-strength elastic beam composed of several alloy spring leaves with the same width but different lengths (the thickness can be the same or different). Since the leaf spring is composed of several elastic alloy plates and has a strong load-bearing capacity, it is widely used in the suspension of load-carrying vehicles.

[0003] After retrieval, a kind of automobile leaf spring assembly with the publication number CN219774666U includes a leaf spring body. The leaf spring body includes several spring leaves and a center bolt. The several spring leaves are stacked in sequence and fixed by the center bolt. A plurality of limiting frames are sleeved at both ends of the leaf spring body. A plurality of limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on both sides of the side end of the leaf spring body. At both inner ends of the limiting frame, there are blocks adapted to the limiting grooves. A fastening bolt is threadedly connected to the top opening of the limiting frame. On the one hand, the utility model reduces the moving friction between the spring leaves through the limiting structure, and on the other hand, by injecting lubricating oil to increase the lubricity of the contact surface, the friction is reduced to achieve the purpose of long-term use.

[0004] Based on the above patent, the bending movement of the leaf spring mentioned in its background art will cause sliding friction between the two ends and the adjacent leaf surfaces.

The left and right ends of the plurality of spring pieces 1 are connected by the insertion between a limiting shaft 13 and a limiting hole 8. A plurality of top blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the plurality of spring pieces 1. The upper top blocks 4 are connected to the lower top blocks 4 through a plurality of fixed plates 3 and a connecting shaft 11. The left and right ends of the upper spring piece 1 are fixedly connected with eyelets 2. The two adjacent sides of the two fixed plates 3 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the spring piece 1. Bolts 5 are arranged at the tops of the two fixed plates 3. The outer wall of the bottom side of the bolt 5 is arranged on the outer wall of the top side top block 4;

[0024] Specifically, by sleeving multiple spring plates 1 on the outer wall of the positioning shaft 9 in sequence through the positioning shaft 9, and then realizing the positioning and installation between the installations of the multiple spring plates 1 through the insertion between the limiting shaft 13 and the limiting hole 8, it is convenient to improve the installation efficiency between the multiple spring plates 1, avoid misalignment in the connection between the multiple spring plates 1, cause displacement between the subsequent multiple spring plates 1 to cause friction, and thus cause wear of the spring plates 1. After the multiple spring plates 1 are installed and connected, the connection shaft 11 and the bolt 5 can be connected to the top block 4 respectively, and then with the cooperation of the fixing plate 3, a stable fixed connection relationship is formed between the multiple spring plates 1, avoiding large displacement between the multiple spring plates 1 to cause friction, and facilitating the improvement of the service life of the automotive leaf spring.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the connection shaft 11 located on the outer wall of the bottom-side top block 4, both the front and rear ends of the connection shaft 11 are fixedly connected with fixing plates 3, the closer sides of the two fixing plates 3 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the spring plate 1, bolt holes 10 are opened at the tops of the two fixing plates 3, bolts 5 are arranged inside the two bolt holes 10, a first nut 6 is threadedly connected to the rear end of the bolt 5, the bottom-side outer wall of the bolt 5 is arranged on the outer wall of the top-side top block 4, the positioning shaft 9 at the middle end of the bottom-side spring plate 1, a positioning hole 7 is arranged at the middle end of the spring plate 1, and the positioning shaft 9 is arranged inside the positioning hole 7.
