Detailed implementation mode
[0012] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0013] As Figure 1 shown, a new bushing structure in the embodiment of the present invention includes an inner tube 100 of the bushing. The inner tube 100 of the bushing is a long strip-shaped cylinder, and a radially extending protrusion 110 is formed in the middle part thereof. The protrusion 110 is connected to other parts connected thereto by a transition arc 120. The convex surface of the transition arc 120 faces away from the axis of the inner tube 100 of the bushing, forming an inner tube 100 of the bushing with a longitudinal section in the shape of "middle". An outer peripheral surface of the inner tube 100 of the bushing is integrally formed and connected with a rubber bushing 200. The rubber bushing 200 has an inner wall 210 and an outer wall 220. The inner wall 210 is attached to the outer wall of the inner tube 100 of the bushing, and the length corresponds to the length of the inner tube 100 of the bushing. The height of the outer wall 220 of the rubber bushing 200 is less than the height of the inner wall of the rubber bushing 200. A groove 211 matching the protrusion 110 is provided on the inner wall 210 of the rubber bushing 200. The contact surface between the groove 211 and the protrusion 110 is attached, which improves the assembly accuracy and facilitates the attachment of the contact surfaces of the two, thereby improving the assembly accuracy. An outer tube 300 of the bushing is integrally formed on the outer wall 220 of the rubber bushing 200. Bends 310 facing the rubber bushing 200 are provided at both the upper end and the lower end corresponding to the upper end of the outer tube 300 of the bushing. Preferably, both the inner tube 100 of the bushing and the outer tube 300 of the bushing are made of metal materials and are both integrally formed structures. The integral forming technology is the prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0014] In order to improve the precision of the press-fitting of the bushing structure and avoid problems such as offset pressing or incomplete pressing, the rubber bushing 200 has a top surface 230 and a bottom surface 240 parallel to the top surface 230. The top surface 230 and the top surface of the bend 310 are in the same plane, and the bottom surface 240 is located below the bend 310 at the lower end of the bushing outer tube 300. A rubber groove 241 is formed in the bottom surface 240, and the opening of the rubber groove 241 faces downward, while a rubber protrusion 242 is formed. The rubber protrusion 242 corresponds to the bend 310 at the lower end of the bushing outer tube 300, and the outer peripheral surface of the rubber protrusion 242 is inclined inward, where the inner side refers to the side facing the bushing inner tube 100. Among them, when the bushing structure is stressed, the rubber groove 241 leaves a rubber deformation space, which is beneficial to improving the rubber life and avoiding rubber extrusion or bulging under stress, resulting in large strain.
[0015] Working principle: By adjusting the length of the bend 310 of the bushing outer tube 300 and the radian of the arc transition of the bushing inner tube 100, the width and thickness of the rubber bushing 200 located between the two are changed, and the change speed of the axial stiffness is increased. Increasing the radian of the arc transition of the bushing inner tube 100, that is, increasing the contact area between the outer surface of the transition arc 120 and the rubber bushing 200, and / or reducing the thickness of the rubber bushing 200. When the bushing outer tube 300 and the bushing inner tube 100 move axially, the relative surface between the rubber bushing 200 and the bushing inner tube 100 increases, and the axial stiffness increases faster.
[0016] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
