Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steering knuckles, and in particular relates to a kart steering knuckle. Background Art

[0002] The steering knuckle, also known as the ram's horn, is one of the important parts in the steering axle of a car. It can make the car run stably and sensitively transmit the direction of travel. The function of the steering knuckle is to transmit and bear the load in front of the car, support and drive the front wheels to rotate around the kingpin to steer the car. The steering knuckles used in ordinary family cars are generally made of cast iron, and luxury cars also have suspension systems made of aluminum alloy; karts generally have front-wheel steering and rear-wheel drive, and the front wheels and steering rods are connected together through the steering knuckle. The steering knuckle assembly plays the dual functions of weight bearing and steering, and is one of the more complex mechanical components on the kart; the existing kart steering knuckles are not sealed or the sealing effect is poor, which can easily lead to water and mud entering, resulting in a high damage rate of the steering knuckle bearing, reducing the service life, and making it inconvenient to use the kart.

[0006] A steering knuckle body, wherein a bearing seat is provided at one end of the steering knuckle body, a bearing inner spacer is provided inside the bearing seat, a bearing is also provided inside the bearing seat, the other end of the steering knuckle body is integrally connected with a steering knuckle shaft, a bearing connecting plate is provided between the steering knuckle body and the bearing seat, and seals are provided at both ends of the bearing seat.

[0007] Preferably, the sealing member is provided as a bearing cover, which is conducive to playing a sealing role.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the bearing seat are provided with stepped holes for mounting double bearings, and the interior of the bearing cover is provided with a through hole.

[0009] Preferably, the bearing seat is integrally arranged at the end of the steering knuckle body away from the steering knuckle shaft, and the integrated arrangement is conducive to increasing the strength.

[0010] Preferably, the bearing connecting plate is integrally provided on one side of the bearing seat and the steering knuckle body, which is beneficial to increase the connection strength.

[0011] Preferably, the bearing connecting plate is provided with a bent section, which is convenient for installation;

[0012] The width of the bearing connecting plate gradually increases at one end close to the bearing seat and the steering knuckle body, which increases the connection strength and is also beneficial for better guiding the impact force when it is subjected to impact force.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the steering knuckle shaft is provided with a threaded end, which is convenient for installation.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] The utility model can achieve an effective sealing effect by arranging the bearing covers at both ends of the bearing seat, can effectively reduce the entry of water and mud into the interior of the bearing, avoid reducing the service life, and is beneficial to the use of the kart.
