Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a drive shaft support structure, in particular to an intermediate support structure of an automobile drive shaft. Background Technique

[0002] The intermediate support bracket is an essential part of the front drive shaft, accounting for about 40% of all drive shafts. The intermediate support bracket is also one of the most easily damaged parts among the drive shaft components. One of the main reasons for its damage is that the front drive shaft is not perpendicular to the intermediate support assembly during the assembly process, resulting in interference when the drive shaft rotates at high speed and jitter during the bumping process. The existing intermediate support bracket of the drive shaft is directly connected to the crossbeam hanger through bolts, and the other end is sleeved on the drive shaft through insertion to realize the support of the drive shaft. During use, if the support bracket is damaged, it needs to be disassembled and replaced. However, the insertion and sleeving method requires the universal joint at one end of the drive shaft to be disassembled before the support bracket can be disassembled and replaced, which increases the difficulty of disassembling and replacing the support bracket by maintenance staff and reduces the efficiency of replacing the support bracket. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an intermediate support structure of an automobile drive shaft that is convenient for installation and disassembly, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: an intermediate support structure of an automobile drive shaft, including a base, a fixed clamp block, a movable clamp block and a sliding component. A jack is opened on the base, and the jack is inserted into the bracket. One side of the fixed clamp block is fixedly connected to the base. One end of the fixed clamp block and one end of the movable clamp block are rotatably connected. A convex piece is fixedly arranged at one end of the movable clamp block. Threaded holes are opened at one end of the convex piece and one end of the fixed clamp block. A fixing bolt is threadedly arranged inside the threaded hole. The sliding component is installed on one side inside the fixed clamp block and the movable clamp block. When the drive shaft is installed and supported, the friction is reduced. By adding the base, the bracket, the fixed clamp block, the movable clamp block and the sliding component, the support effect on the drive shaft can be realized while being convenient for installation and disassembly, avoiding the need to disassemble the universal joint at the end of the drive shaft in the traditional way before disassembling the intermediate support bracket, effectively reducing the labor intensity of the staff, and at the same time improving the efficiency of disassembling and replacing the intermediate support bracket of the drive shaft.

[0005] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes an arc-shaped frame fixedly provided on one side of the arc-shaped surfaces of the fixed clamping block and the movable clamping block. A first arc-shaped groove is formed on one side of the arc-shaped frame. Ball bead holders are fixedly provided at equal intervals inside the first arc-shaped groove. Ball beads are rotatably provided inside the ball bead holders. An arc-shaped block is provided on one side of the arc-shaped frame. A first clamping groove is formed on the outer side of the arc-shaped block. The first clamping groove is clamped on the arc-shaped frame. A second arc-shaped groove is formed on one side of the inner wall of the first clamping groove. The inner wall of the second arc-shaped groove is in contact with the ball beads. The addition of the sliding assembly enables the arc-shaped block to rotate on one side of the fixed clamping block and the movable clamping block, reducing the friction between the arc-shaped block and the transmission shaft.

[0006] Preferably, a second clamping groove is formed on the side of the arc-shaped frame away from the first arc-shaped groove. A shock pad is provided inside the second clamping groove. One side of the shock pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed clamping block and the movable clamping block, which can play a role in damping the transmission shaft and increasing the safety of the rotation of the transmission shaft.

[0007] Preferably, mounting screw holes communicating with the jacks are formed on both sides of the base. Mounting bolts are threaded inside the mounting screw holes; this enables the convenience of installation and disassembly between the base and the bracket.

[0008] Preferably, both the fixed clamping block and the movable clamping block are semi-circular blocks, and the arc-shaped frame, the arc-shaped block, and the shock pad are all semi-circular, which is convenient for clamping on the outer side wall of the transmission shaft.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the fixed clamping block and one end of the movable clamping block are rotatably connected by a hinge shaft, realizing the convenience of connection between the fixed clamping block and the movable clamping block.

A second arc-shaped groove 16 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the first card slot 15. The inner wall of the second arc-shaped groove 16 is in contact with the ball bead 13.

[0022] When using the intermediate support structure of the automotive drive shaft: First, insert the jack 2 on the base 1 into the bracket 3, at this time, the installation of the base 1 can be achieved. Then, unscrew the fixing bolt 9 on the lug 7 at one end of the moving clamp block 5, and the separation between the fixed clamp block 4 and the moving clamp block 5 can be realized. At this time, rotate the moving clamp block 5 around the other end, and the opening between the fixed clamp block 4 and the moving clamp block 5 can be realized. Then, place the drive shaft on the arc-shaped block 14 inside one side of the fixed clamp block 4, and at this time, the support of the drive shaft can be realized. After the drive shaft is placed, rotate the moving clamp block 5 around one end in the reverse direction, so that a circular hole is formed by the clamping between the fixed clamp block 4 and the moving clamp block 5, and the arc-shaped blocks 14 on one side of the fixed clamp block 4 and the moving clamp block 5 are both clamped on the outer side of the drive shaft. After the clamping between the moving clamp block 5 and the fixed clamp block 4 is completed, then screw the fixing bolt 9 on the lug 7 into the threaded hole 8, and the fixation between the fixed clamp block 4 and the moving clamp block 5 can be realized, realizing the stability of the drive shaft placed between the two arc-shaped blocks 14, and at the same time being able to support the drive shaft. When the drive shaft rotates during use, it can drive the arc-shaped block 14 to rotate on one side of the arc-shaped frame 10, at this time, the friction between the drive shaft and the arc-shaped block 14 can be reduced, and the safety of the connection between the two can be increased.

[0023] When the base 1, the fixed clamp block 4 and the moving clamp block 5 are damaged during use, at this time, the fixing bolt 9 on the lug 7 can be opened to realize the separation between the fixed clamp block 4 and the moving clamp block 5, and the fixed clamp block 4 and the moving clamp block 5 can be disassembled from the drive shaft. Then, the base can be disassembled from the bracket 3, avoiding the disassembly of the universal joint at the end of the drive shaft by the transmission method and then disassembling the intermediate support frame, effectively reducing the labor intensity of the staff, and at the same time improving the disassembly and replacement efficiency of the intermediate support frame of the drive shaft.

[0024] By adding the base 1, the bracket 3, the fixed clamp block 4, the moving clamp block 5 and the sliding component, the support function of the drive shaft can be realized while facilitating installation and disassembly, avoiding the disassembly of the universal joint at the end of the drive shaft by the transmission method and then disassembling the intermediate support frame, effectively reducing the labor intensity of the staff, and at the same time improving the disassembly and replacement efficiency of the intermediate support frame of the drive shaft.
