[0002] As the new energy vehicle market continues to expand, consumers' demand for vehicle performance is also increasing. The demand for drive shafts keeps pace with market changes and provides products that meet the needs of different models and applications. In addition, as the international market demand for new energy vehicles increases, the export market for drive shafts will also usher in new growth opportunities, thereby driving up the demand for drive shafts.
[0003] The sliding end universal joint of the conventional needle roller structure has insufficient performance in axial derived force and high-frequency sliding resistance because the needle rollers are arranged in the same space and the contact area between the needle roller and the raceway is large, which increases the friction between the needle roller and the cage. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the background technology, the utility model provides a low sliding resistance sliding end universal joint, which mainly solves the problem that the contact area between the needle roller and the raceway of the current sliding end universal joint is large, resulting in large friction between the needle roller and the retaining frame.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is:
[0006] A low-slip resistance sliding end universal joint comprises a housing, wherein a three-pin frame assembly with active fit is arranged in the housing, wherein the three-pin frame assembly comprises a frame body, wherein the frame body is provided with a journal, and further comprises
[0007] An inner ring, sleeved on the circumferential wall of the journal;
[0008] An outer ring is arranged outside the inner ring, and an inner wall of the outer ring is provided with an integrally formed convex ring;
[0009] A retainer is provided between the inner ring and the outer ring, and is provided with a plurality of rolling balls for matching with the inner wall of the housing, and adjacent retainers are separated by convex rings;
[0010] A sealing gasket is arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring and is sealed with the inner ring and the outer ring. The sealing gasket is arranged on the upper and lower sides of the retaining frame.
[0011] The rolling ball is a steel ball.
[0012] The retaining brackets are provided with two.
[0013] The retaining frames are coaxially arranged and arranged opposite to each other up and down.
[0014] The sealing gasket comprises a frame, and the frame is covered with a sealing lip.
[0015] The outer ring is made of alloy steel.
[0016] The inner ring is made of alloy steel.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The present utility model provides a slip-end universal joint with low slip resistance, which innovates from a needle roller structure to a double-row ball structure. The ball structure mainly consists of an inner ring, an outer ring, steel balls and a cage. The steel balls are the core components, which roll between the inner and outer rings to reduce friction and wear. Description of the Drawings

[0023] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings: As shown in the figure, a slip-end universal joint with low slip resistance includes a housing 1. A three-pin frame assembly 2 is movably arranged inside the housing. The three-pin frame assembly includes a frame body 21, and a journal 22 is arranged on the frame body. It further includes an inner ring 3 sleeved on the circumferential wall of the journal; an outer ring 4 arranged outside the inner ring, and a convex ring 41 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the outer ring; a cage 5 arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a plurality of balls 51 for cooperating with the inner wall of the housing are installed, and the adjacent cages are separated by the convex ring; a gasket 6 arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring and hermetically cooperating with the inner ring and the outer ring, and the gasket is arranged on the upper and lower sides of the cage. The product with a ball structure has a small contact area and a small frictional resistance, can easily meet the requirements of rotation, runs more smoothly, and can effectively control the special requirements of the electric vehicle for axial derivative force and high-frequency slip resistance. The reasonable control of these forces can improve the running stability, safety, traction performance and economy of the electric vehicle, and provide guarantee for the normal operation of the electric vehicle. The function of the cage is to evenly separate the steel balls, prevent the steel balls from colliding and rubbing against each other, and at the same time keep the positions of the steel balls stable.
