[0021] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of the present invention, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-3The embodiment of the present invention is a car tie rod ball head cover, which includes a ball head seat 1. The ball head seat 1 is made of cast iron alloy. An opening 2 is opened on the top of the ball head seat 1. A fixing groove 3 is opened on the top of the outside of the ball head seat 1. A bolt 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ball head seat 1. A bottom bin 5 is provided below the ball head seat 1. The bottom bin 5 is located below the ball head seat 1. The bottom bin 5 fits tightly with the ball head seat 1. An opening 6 is opened on the outside of the bottom bin 5. The bolt 4 passes through the inside of the opening 6. The bolt 4 is plugged into the opening 6. A fuel nozzle 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom bin 5. A nut 8 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the bolt 4. Two nuts 8 are threadedly connected to the bottom of the bolt 4. A rod body 9 is fixedly connected to the right side of the ball head seat 1. The rod body 9 is made of aluminum alloy. A slot 10 is opened on the right side of the rod body 9. An internal thread 11 is opened inside the right end of the rod body 9. A ball head chamber 12 is opened inside the ball head seat 1.
[0023] The above structure is provided with a ball head seat 1, so that the operator can install the ball head rod therein. An opening 2 is opened above the ball head seat 1, so that the shaft of the ball head rod passes through the opening 2, so that the shaft can be connected to other parts.
[0024] A ball head chamber 12 is opened inside the ball head seat 1 , so that an operator can place the ball head and rotating accessories related to the ball head inside the ball head chamber 12 .
[0025] By providing a bottom bin 5, it is possible to lift the parts placed inside the ball head chamber 12 to prevent the internal parts from falling off during use. An opening 6 is opened on the periphery of the bottom bin 5, and the bottom of the ball head seat 1 is fixedly connected with a bolt 4, and the bolt 4 is plugged into the opening 6, so that the operator can accurately install the bottom bin 5 into the bottom of the ball head seat 1 according to the position of the bolt 4 and the opening 6. Two nuts 8 are threadedly connected under the bolt 4, and the nuts 8 at different positions are tightened respectively, so that the bottom bin 5 can fit tightly with the ball head seat 1, ensuring the airtightness of the bottom of the ball head seat 1.
[0026] A fixing groove 3 is opened above the ball head seat 1, so that when the operator installs the ball head rubber sleeve, he can put the bottom of the ball head rubber sleeve into the periphery of the fixing groove 3 and fix the ball head rubber sleeve with a special clamp, thereby ensuring the airtightness above the ball head seat 1.
[0027] By providing a refueling nozzle 7, which is one-way refueling, that is, it can only be added from the outside to the inside, the refueling nozzle 7 will not leak lubricating oil, so that the operator can use a special refueling head to add lubricating oil to the inside of the ball head seat 1, thereby reducing the friction between the ball head and related accessories, and at the same time reducing the friction between the ball head and the ball head seat 1.
[0028] The material of the ball head seat 1 is cast iron metal, which has the following main advantages: good wear resistance: cast iron has high hardness and wear resistance, and is particularly suitable for applications that need to withstand high wear; excellent vibration damping performance: cast iron has good vibration damping performance, can absorb and disperse vibrations, reduce noise and impact, and improve ride comfort; high compressive strength: cast iron exhibits high strength under compressive loads, which makes it very suitable for structural parts that withstand high pressure; good casting performance: cast iron is easy to cast and can be made into complex shapes, suitable for various design requirements; at the same time, it is not easy to produce defects such as shrinkage cavities and bubbles during the casting process; thermal stability: cast iron has good thermal stability and resistance to thermal deformation, and can maintain its size and shape in high temperature environments; thus, the ball head seat 1 uses cast iron metal as its casting material.
[0029] The material of the rod body 9 is aluminum alloy, which has the following main advantages: light weight: the density of aluminum alloy is much lower than that of steel, which makes the use of aluminum alloy can significantly reduce the weight of the workpiece; good strength and rigidity: through alloying and heat treatment, aluminum alloy can achieve very high strength and rigidity, suitable for various structural parts and load-bearing components; corrosion resistance: a dense aluminum oxide film will be formed on the surface of the aluminum alloy, which has good corrosion resistance and does not require additional anti-corrosion treatment; easy to process: aluminum alloy can be processed through various processes such as casting, forging, extrusion, and stamping, and is easy to cut and form; using aluminum alloy as the material of the rod body 9 ensures its own strength while reducing the weight of the rod body 9 itself.
[0030] Working principle: When using this type of automobile tie rod ball head cover, first install the ball head rod and its components into the ball head chamber 12, then install the bottom bin 5 into the bottom of the ball head seat 1, and finally clamp the rubber sleeve into the inside of the fixing groove 3 through the clamp to complete the assembly of the device. When the ball head rod fails, you only need to remove the nut 8 to replace the ball head rod, saving a certain amount of maintenance costs.
[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
