Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bushings, in particular to a plug-in type rear trailing arm bushing. Background Art

[0002] The suspension system is a vital automotive component used to support and control the vehicle's posture, absorb shock, and maintain stability during driving. Dogbone rear trailing arm bushings, as part of the suspension system, connect the vehicle body to the rear trailing arm of the rear wheel suspension.

[0003] Rear trailing arm bushings are often equipped with elastomers. Through their elastic properties, these elastomers can reduce vibration and noise during vehicle operation, providing passengers with a smoother and quieter ride. To achieve this vibration-damping effect on the vehicle body, the elastomers in existing rear trailing arm bushings are often made of rubber, which is often exposed to the elements for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to the elements, such as sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations, can cause the rubber molecular chains to break, gradually reducing its elasticity and causing aging. This aging process accelerates the hardening and embrittlement of the rubber bushing, shortening its service life. In the operating environment of the rear trailing arm bushing, frequent contact with rainwater during the rainy season and corrosive media can accelerate the hardening and embrittlement of the rubber bushing, impacting the performance and safety of the vehicle's suspension system.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a plug-in type rear trailing arm bushing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention aims to provide a plug-in rear trailing arm bushing that solves the problem of aging caused by prolonged exposure of rubber materials to the elements, including sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations. This can lead to breakage of the rubber molecular chains, a gradual reduction in elasticity, and accelerated hardening and embrittlement of the rubber bushing, impacting the performance and safety of the vehicle suspension system.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A plug-in type rear longitudinal arm bushing includes a plug-in type inner core, the outer arm of the plug-in type inner core is bonded with an elastomer, the outer arm of the elastomer is bonded with an outer sleeve, trapezoidal slide grooves are provided at both ends of the outer sleeve, and baffles that rotate along the trapezoidal slide grooves are provided on the two end surfaces of the outer sleeve. A plurality of limit assemblies for preventing the baffles from falling off are installed on the baffles, and the limit assemblies are internally provided with mutually meshing limit rods for expanding inside the trapezoidal slide grooves.

[0008] As a preferred solution of the present invention, annular grooves are provided on the two end faces of the plug-in inner core that are flush with the outer sleeve, and a second snap ring for sliding inside the annular groove and a first snap ring for sliding inside the trapezoidal groove are installed at the bottom end of the baffle.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the bottom arm of the trapezoidal chute is provided with a conical protrusion, the maximum cross-section of the snap ring 1 is adapted to the short side of the trapezoidal chute, and the bottom end of the snap ring 1 is fitted with the conical protrusion.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, mounting holes are provided on both end faces of the limiting assembly, the limiting assembly is mounted on the top end of the baffle through the mounting holes, and the limiting assembly passes through and extends to the bottom end of the first clamping ring.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a push rod is slidingly provided inside the limit assembly, and the bottom end of the push rod is connected to a mounting block. The limit rod is located inside the mounting block and forms a rotating connection. Guide rods are provided at both ends of the mounting block. The two side arms of the limit assembly are provided with guide grooves for the longitudinal sliding of the guide rod. Both ends of the limit rod are engaged by a rack, and the limit rod can be in a horizontal state or a vertical state through the rotation of the rack. When the push rod slides inward, the limit rod will separate the two limit rods from each other through the conical protrusion.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the present invention, one end of the push rod extends to the outside of the baffle, and multiple push rods are commonly connected to a cover plate for pushing out and fixing the push rods, and the cover plate is provided with multiple holes for connecting to the baffle.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the utility model are:

[0014] In the present invention, by increasing the thickness of the outer jacket and installing baffles at both ends of the outer jacket, it is possible to effectively prevent the wheels from splashing rainwater or corrosive media to the position of the elastomer of the bushing during the driving of the vehicle, thereby extending the service life of the bushing. By arranging the baffle and the limit assembly, the cover plate can be squeezed to allow the push rod to simultaneously expand multiple limit rods, so that the limit rods are inside the trapezoidal slide groove, thereby preventing the baffle from falling off. During driving, the elastomer will be subjected to forces and torques transmitted in all directions. The baffle is fixed by the limit rod, and relatively ample space can be left to compensate for the displacement of the baffle caused by forces in different directions. After the limit rod is expanded, the baffle and the cover plate are locked through the hole on the cover plate, thereby preventing the limit assembly from rebounding. The modular setting of the limit assembly facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the baffle during production and reduces the production difficulty. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
