[0003] The conventional assembly intermediate shaft is matched with the star-shaped sleeve through the spline, and the retainer is arranged between the bell-shaped shell and the star-shaped sleeve, so that the overall parts are more and the assembly is more troublesome. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the background art, the utility model provides a no internal spline transmission shaft assembly, which mainly solves the problems of more parts and more troublesome assembly of the current transmission shaft assembly.
[0005] The technical scheme of the utility model is,
[0006] A no internal spline transmission shaft assembly, comprising an intermediate shaft, the intermediate shaft is connected with a first universal joint at one end and a second universal joint at the other end, the first universal joint comprises a bell-shaped shell, and further comprising
[0007] A retainer is integrally arranged at one end of the intermediate shaft extending into the bell-shaped shell, and a plurality of pockets are arranged on the retainer.
[0008] A star-shaped sleeve is integrally arranged with the bell-shaped shell and is correspondingly arranged on the inner side of the retainer.
[0009] Rolling elements are arranged in the pockets and are used for rolling cooperation with the outer wall of the star-shaped sleeve and the inner wall of the bell-shaped shell.
[0010] The rolling elements are balls.
[0011] A retaining ring is further arranged in the bell-shaped shell and is arranged on the outer side of the rolling elements.
[0012] The intermediate shaft comprises a first shaft and a second shaft, and the second shaft is movably mounted with the first shaft along the axial direction.
[0013] A sliding groove is arranged on the axial wall of the first shaft, part of the second shaft is arranged in the sliding groove, a second retainer is arranged in the sliding groove, and steel balls cooperating with the second shaft are arranged on the second retainer.
[0014] The pockets are six in number.
[0015] A dust cover is arranged between the intermediate shaft and the bell housing.
[0016] The utility model discloses a kind of inner spline-free transmission shaft assembly, star-shaped sleeve is directly arranged on bell housing, without spline transmission, overall assembly is more convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
