[0030] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0031] A front axle steering knuckle arm structure, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes an axle seat 1, and the outer side of the axle seat 1 is also connected to the first section arm 2, the second section arm 3 and the third section arm 4, the side of the second section arm 3 is installed with a cover plate 301, and the interior of the second section arm 3 is provided with a groove matching the cover plate 301 for installing ABS, thereby isolating the ABS from the outside world and preventing the ABS from being contaminated by the outside world, the top of the second section arm 3 is provided with a fixing groove 302, and the fixing groove 302 is aligned with the groove in the second section arm 3, the side of the third section arm 4 is provided with a third section arm 4, the inner wall of the third section arm 4 is provided with a connecting pipe 401, the end of the connecting pipe 401 is aligned with the outer wall of the third section arm 4, the outer wall of the third section arm 4 is provided with a concave card groove 402, and the concave card groove 402 surrounds The connecting tube 401 is provided, and the inner wall of the concave slot 402 is installed with a rubber gasket 403 and a metal gasket 404. The end of the spring 5 is inserted into the inside of the concave slot 402, and the rubber gasket 403 fixes the end of the spring 5, and the metal gasket 404 squeezes and fixes the rubber gasket 403. The connecting tube 401 is installed with the spring 5 through a fixed structure. During the installation process, when the third section arm 4 is connected, the spring 5 located on the outside of the connecting tube 401 will be squeezed first, and then fixed to the thread in the connecting tube 401 through bolts, and at the same time fixed to the external structure (frame, etc.). At this time, the external structure will squeeze the spring, and the force of the spring will push the bolt to be tightly fixed to the connecting tube 401.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Threaded holes are provided in the middle parts of the first section arm 2, the second section arm 3 and the third section arm 4. The threaded hole of the third section arm 4 is located inside the connecting pipe 401, which is convenient for installing the steering knuckle.

[0033] See also Figure 3 A fixing bolt is installed on the edge of the cover plate 301, and the cover plate 301 is fixedly connected to the second arm 3 through the fixing bolt. A support plate 3011 is provided on the side of the cover plate 301, and a slot 3012 is provided on the top of the support plate 3011. The slot 3012 fixes the ABS. A connector 3013 is installed on the side of the cover plate 301, and the connector 3013 is connected to the slot 3012, which is convenient for connecting the cover plate 301 to the ABS.

[0034] See also Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present application. The difference from the first embodiment is the installation structure of the spring. Specifically, the port of the connecting pipe 401 protrudes from the outer wall of the third arm 4, and multiple groups of external protruding grooves 4011 are installed on the edge of the protruding portion of the connecting pipe 401. The spring 5 is fixed to the third arm 4 through the external protruding grooves 4011, which can facilitate the installation of the spring.

[0035] When using the steering knuckle, first install the sensor inside the second arm 3, install the ABS inside the cover plate 301, and connect the ABS to the external power supply through the connector 3013. Then, insert the cover plate 301 into the slot on the side of the second arm 3 to limit and fix the ABS. The cover plate 301 is fixed with fixing bolts to isolate the ABS from the external environment and reduce contamination to the ABS. When fixing the steering knuckle, the bolts will pass through the second arm 3 and then be inserted into the slot in the second arm 3 to further fix the ABS.

[0036] During use, the structure is installed through each group of arms. During the installation process, when the third arm 4 is connected, the spring 5 located on the outside of the connecting pipe 401 will be squeezed first, and then fixed to the thread inside the connecting pipe 401 through bolts, and at the same time fixed to the external structure (frame, etc.). At this time, the external structure will squeeze the spring, and the force of the spring will push the bolt to be tightly fixed to the connecting pipe 401. When shaking occurs, the stability is improved by increasing the friction between the bolt and the connecting pipe 401.
