[0002] The gear-rack assembly structure for a recirculating ball steering gear is a complex mechanical device, which combines the characteristics of a recirculating ball steering gear and the high efficiency of gear-rack transmission; in the existing design of recirculating ball steering gears, although certain functionality and stability have been achieved, there are still deficiencies in terms of disassembly and assembly convenience, maintenance efficiency, structural stability, and overall performance; specifically manifested as:

[0003] In traditional recirculating ball steering gears, the support frame and the mounting seat are mostly connected by fasteners such as bolts and nuts. This connection method requires a lot of time and effort for disassembly and assembly, not only is the operation cumbersome, but also it is easy to damage the fasteners or cause scratches on the components. In addition, frequent disassembly and assembly will increase the maintenance cost and reduce the work efficiency. Therefore, how to design a steering gear structure with convenient disassembly and assembly and high maintenance efficiency has become an urgent problem in the industry.

[0004] Traditional steering gears often have problems with insufficient stability in their structural design. Especially in harsh working environments, such as high temperature, high humidity, vibration and other conditions, the connections between components are likely to become loose, resulting in performance degradation or even failure. In addition, the fixing methods of some key components such as gear parts and mounting wheels may also have defects, such as insecure fixing and easy wear, which further limit the overall performance of the steering gear. Therefore, we provide a gear-rack assembly structure for a recirculating ball steering gear. Content of the Utility Model

[0009] Further, the reset component includes a dividing block fixedly installed on the inner wall of the transverse groove. One end of the dividing block and the end wall of the transverse groove are fixedly connected by a connecting rod, a spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod, and the sliding sleeve block is slidably sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod.

A socket hole is formed on the lower surface of the support frame, and the vertical fixing column is inserted into the inner wall of the socket hole to increase the installation stability of the mounting base and the support frame.

[0013] Further, the threaded section of the torsion fixing screw respectively passes through the through hole two and the through hole one and is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the nut body for fixing the mounting wheel and the gear member.

[0014] Further, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to one end surface of the dividing block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to one end surface of the sliding sleeve block.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model:

[0016] Through the cooperation of the limit insertion rod and the limit jack, the present utility model realizes the rapid installation and disassembly between the support frame and the mounting base.

Detailed Embodiment

[0023] In order to more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiment

[0024] As Figures 1 - 4As shown in the figure, a gear-rack assembly structure for a recirculating ball steering gear proposed in an embodiment of the present utility model mainly includes a mounting base 1 and a support frame 2 mounted on the mounting base 1. A shaft rotating rod 3 is threadedly installed on the support frame 2, and the periphery of the shaft rotating rod 3 is rotatably connected to a mounting wheel 4 through a bearing, so that the mounting wheel 4 can freely rotate around the shaft rotating rod 3. In order to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the support frame 2, a disassembly and assembly mechanism is specially designed between the mounting base 1 and the support frame 2. The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a limit jack 5 opened on the inner side wall of the support frame 2 and a fixed block 6 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 1. A sliding groove 7 is opened on the fixed block 6, and a transverse groove 8 is further opened on the inner side wall of the sliding groove 7. In the transverse groove 8, two sliding sleeve blocks 12 are slidably connected through a reset member, and a lapping plate 13 is fixedly connected between them, and a limit insertion rod 14 is fixed on the lapping plate 13. When it is necessary to install the support frame 2, the limit insertion rod 14 is inserted into the limit jack 5 by operating the sliding sleeve block 12, so as to realize the stable connection between the support frame 2 and the mounting base 1; through the above disassembly and assembly mechanism, the support frame 2 can be conveniently and quickly installed and disassembled on the mounting base 1, improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0025] Further, a dividing block 9 is fixedly installed at the inner wall of the transverse groove 8, and a connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected between one end of the dividing block 9 and the end wall of the transverse groove 8. A spring 11 is sleeved on the periphery of the connecting rod 10, and the sliding sleeve block 12 is slidably sleeved on the periphery of the connecting rod 10. When the limit insertion rod 14 is inserted into or pulled out of the limit jack 5, the sliding sleeve block 12 will slide along the connecting rod 10, and at the same time compress or release the spring 11, providing a reset force for the limit insertion rod 14; the design of the reset member enables the limit insertion rod 14 to automatically reset after being inserted or pulled out, improving the convenience and accuracy of the operation.

[0026] Further, in order to enhance the functionality of the mounting wheel 4, a gear member 17 is sleeved on the periphery of the mounting wheel 4, and the two are fixedly connected by a torsion fixing screw 21. A nut body 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting wheel 4, and through holes 19 and 20 are respectively opened through the peripheries of the mounting wheel 4 and the gear member 17. After the threaded section of the torsion fixing screw 21 passes through the through hole 20 and the through hole 19, it is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the nut body 18, so as to realize the stable connection between the mounting wheel 4 and the gear member 17; the addition of the gear member 17 enables the mounting wheel 4 to cooperate with other gear components, expanding the application range and function of the steering gear.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of the limit insertion rod 14 penetrates through the end wall of the sliding groove 7 and is inserted into the inner wall of the limit insertion hole 5 to prevent the support frame 2 from accidentally detaching from the mounting base 1. To ensure the stability of the connection, the inner diameter of the limit insertion hole 5 is adapted to the outer diameter of the limit insertion rod 14, enabling them to fit tightly and not easily loosen; the tight fit between the limit insertion rod 14 and the limit insertion hole 5 ensures the stable connection between the support frame 2 and the mounting base 1, improving the overall stability of the steering gear.
