Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a shock absorber bearing with high rigidity. Background Art

[0002] A shock absorber bearing generally refers to a bearing used in an automotive shock absorber. Its main function is to reduce the friction during the movement of the shock absorber, improve the movement efficiency, and at the same time ensure the stability and reliability of the shock absorber. Since the shock absorber needs to move up and down frequently during operation, the bearing needs to have good wear resistance to withstand continuous friction. The shock absorber bearing needs to be able to withstand various loads generated during vehicle driving. In automotive engineering, the shock absorber bearing is one of the key components to ensure the smooth running of the vehicle and improve driving comfort.

[0003] An automotive shock absorber is an elastic connection force transmission component between the wheel and the vehicle body. Its main function is to suppress the oscillation when the spring rebounds after absorbing vibration and the impact from the road surface, and accelerate the attenuation of the vibration of the frame and the vehicle body, thereby improving the driving comfort of the vehicle. The bearing is located at the upper end of the shock absorber spring and plays a supporting role. The shock absorber bearing bears a large load, generally bearing a large axial force and a certain radial force.

[0004] At present, when the inner diameter of the lower cover of the shock absorber bearing is subjected to an abnormal buffer block load impact, the lower cover of the bearing is prone to fracture, which cannot ensure the normal operation of the bearing and cannot play a buffering role. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides a shock absorber bearing with high rigidity, which includes an upper bearing cover, a lower bearing cover, and steel balls arranged between the upper bearing cover and the lower bearing cover. An upper raceway ring is arranged between the steel balls and the upper bearing cover, and a lower raceway ring is arranged between the steel balls and the lower bearing cover. A plurality of interference slots are evenly distributed circumferentially at the axial end of the lower bearing cover. A plurality of reinforcing plates are press-fitted into the plurality of interference slots. A plurality of convex points are arranged on the groove side wall on the radially inward side of the interference slot. The plurality of convex points are arranged circumferentially. The convex points abut against the side wall of the reinforcing plate when the reinforcing plate is installed. The reinforcing plate is press-fitted into the bottom of the interference slot through the convex points to form an embedding.

[0007] Further, a notch groove is communicated with the side of the interference slot, and the notch groove is arranged at any one of the two ends in the length direction of the interference slot.

[0008] Further, the notch groove is semicircularly arranged.

[0009] Further, the mounting surface of the reinforcing plate corresponding to the bottom of the interference slot is arranged in an arc protruding outward, and the bottom of the interference slot is adaptively mounted corresponding to the mounting surface of the reinforcing plate.

[0010] Further, the interference amount of the reinforcing plate through the bump is 0.2 - 0.4 mm.

[0011] Further, a gap is provided between the reinforcing plate and the side wall of the interference slot on the radially outward side of the interference slot, and the size of the gap is smaller than the interference amount.

[0012] Further, a push block is slidably connected to the notch groove, and a shoveling part for facilitating its disassembly is provided at one end of the push block corresponding to the reinforcing plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By circumferentially and uniformly distributing a number of interference slots at the axial end of the bearing lower cover and interference-fitting the reinforcing plates in the slots, the stiffness and strength of the bearing lower cover are enhanced, and the overall bearing capacity and anti-deformation ability of the bearing are improved; the setting of the bumps enables the reinforcing plates to form interference with the side walls of the interference slots during the installation process, further ensuring the stability of the reinforcing plates and preventing their relative movement, and enhancing the reliability of the structure; the circumferential arrangement of the bumps ensures uniform stress on the reinforcing plates, avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration. This design simplifies the assembly process, provides guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the bearing, prevents the bearing lower cover from breaking, ensures the normal operation of the bearing, and plays a buffering role; it improves the strength and anti-impact performance of the overall structure; extends the service life of the bearing and enhances the overall performance and reliability of the bearing.
