Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile braking, in particular to a waterproof structure for an automobile braking cable joint. Background Technique

[0002] At present, with the development of automobile intelligent technology, the braking cable, as an important component in the automobile parking system, transmits force during the parking process. If water enters between the electronic parking actuator and the seal of the cable, it will first corrode the internal components, and below 0°C, this water may freeze, causing the cable to be unable to be pulled. Therefore, the sealing of the cable is particularly important. Poor sealing at the cable will also cause the internal grease to volatilize, not only making parking laborious but also causing internal wear and reducing the service life.

[0003] Most of the joints of the braking cable are movably connected. The existing protection for the cable is at the core part of the cable, and the protection measures for the cable sheath joint are poor. Although the integral molding of some cable structures improves the sealing effect, it reduces the practicality of the subsequent braking cable and increases the difficulty of installation and use. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a waterproof structure for an automobile braking cable joint to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: A waterproof structure for an automobile braking cable joint, including a guide post, a threaded section is arranged on the outer side of the guide post, a knurled joint is sleeved on the outer side of the guide post, a mating groove is opened inside the knurled joint, a threaded groove is opened inside the knurled joint, a first sealing ring is arranged on the outer side of the guide post, a second sealing ring is arranged on the outer side of the guide post, a connecting piece is arranged inside the guide post, a nylon joint is arranged at one end of the connecting piece, a cable body is sleeved inside the nylon joint, a sealing layer is arranged on the outer side of the cable body, and a third sealing ring is arranged on the outer side of the nylon joint.

[0006] Preferably, the outer side of the guide post is adapted to the mating groove, the guide post and the mating groove are movably inserted, and the guide post is threadedly connected to the knurled joint through the threaded section and the threaded groove.

[0007] Preferably, a groove for placing the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring is opened inside the knurled joint.

[0008] Preferably, the first sealing ring is a rectangular sealing ring, and the first sealing ring is located between the guide post and the knurled joint.

[0009] Preferably, both the second sealing ring and the third sealing ring are O-shaped sealing rings, and the second sealing ring and the third sealing ring are located on both sides of the knurled joint.

[0010] Preferably, the nylon joint is movably inserted into the cable body through a circular through-hole. One side of the nylon joint is movably inserted into one end of the connecting piece. A sealing layer is sleeved outside the cable body, and the sealing layer is located between the guide post and the cable body.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. By providing a guide post, a knurled joint, and a nylon joint, the O-ring seal II is sleeved in the groove of the guide post, the rectangular seal I is tightly sleeved on the optical axis of the guide post, and the O-ring seal III is placed outside the nylon joint. Through the knurled joint, spatial extrusion is formed with the guide post and the nylon joint.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a waterproof structure for an automobile brake cable joint, including a guide post 1, a threaded section 2 is arranged on the outer side of the guide post 1, a knurled joint 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the guide post 1, a circular fitting hole is opened inside the knurled joint 3, the knurled joint 3 is movably inserted into the outer side of the nylon joint 9 through the circular fitting hole, a fitting groove 4 is opened inside the knurled joint 3, the knurled joint 3 is adapted to the outer side of the guide post 1 through the notch, a threaded groove 5 is opened inside the knurled joint 3, a first sealing ring 6 is arranged on the outer side of the guide post 1, the first sealing ring 6 is located between the guide post 1 and the knurled joint 3, a second sealing ring 7 is arranged on the outer side of the guide post 1, a connecting piece 8 is arranged inside the guide post 1, a nylon joint 9 is arranged at one end of the connecting piece 8, a cable body 10 is sleeved inside the nylon joint 9, a sealing layer 11 is arranged on the outer side of the cable body 10, the sealing layer 11 is made of rubber material, and a third sealing ring 12 is arranged on the outer side of the nylon joint 9.

[0022] To ensure the convenient connection between the guide post 1 and the knurled joint 3, the outer side of the guide post 1 is adapted to the fitting groove 4, and the guide post 1 and the fitting groove 4 are movably inserted. By inserting the guide post 1 into one side of the fitting groove 4, while the guide post 1 and the nylon joint 9 are located on both sides of the fitting groove 4, the nylon joint 9 is movably inserted into the cable body 10 through a circular through hole inside the nylon joint 9, and one side of the nylon joint 9 is movably inserted into one end of the connecting piece 8. The nylon joint 9 is fixed inside the knurled joint 3 by the insertion of the connecting piece 8 and the nylon joint 9.

[0023] To reduce the connection effect between the guide post 1 and the knurled joint 3, the guide post 1 is threadedly connected to the knurled joint 3 through the threaded section 2 and the threaded groove 5. A groove body for placing the first sealing ring 6 and the second sealing ring 7 is opened inside the knurled joint 3, reducing the connection difficulty between the guide post 1 and the knurled joint 3 and effectively enhancing the sealing effect at the connection between the guide post 1 and the knurled joint 3.

[0024] To further enhance the connection effect, the first sealing ring 6 is a rectangular sealing ring, the first sealing ring 6 is located between the guide post 1 and the knurled joint 3, the second sealing ring 7 and the third sealing ring 12 are both O-shaped sealing rings, the second sealing ring 7 and the third sealing ring 12 are located on both sides of the knurled joint 3, a sealing layer 11 is sleeved on the outer side of the cable body 10, and the sealing layer 11 is located between the guide post 1 and the cable body 10.

[0025] Working principle: During use, the vehicle braking assembly and cable assembly are arranged on the vehicle chassis. The electronic parking brake assembly and cable assembly operate or are stationary in a harsh environment. The guide post 1 is sleeved outside the nylon joint 9, and then the connecting piece 8 is inserted into the matching groove on one side of the nylon joint 9, thereby fixing the nylon joint 9 inside the knurled joint 3. Rotate the knurled joint 3, and under the cooperation of the threaded section 2 and the threaded groove 5, the guide post 1 and the knurled joint 3 are connected and fixed, achieving overall installation and fixation, thus generating multiple installation and sealing points, enhancing the overall sealing effect. When water enters through the gap between the knurled joint 3 and the nylon joint 9, the sealing ring three 12 is radially compressed between the inner wall of the knurled joint 3 and the groove of the nylon joint 9, isolating the water from entering here. When water enters through the threaded connection between the knurled joint 3 and the guide post 1, the sealing ring one 6 is axially compressed in the first space formed between the knurled joint 3 and the guide post 1 to form the first layer of protection. After the first layer of protection fails, the sealing ring two 7 is radially compressed in the second space formed between the knurled joint 3 and the guide post 1 to form the second layer of protection, isolating the water from entering here, and achieving the sealing of the brake cable joint.
