Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically a ball joint bracket for automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive ball joint brackets typically refer to hinge components that connect the upper and lower control arms, linkages, etc., of the wheels or suspension system to components such as steering knuckles and wheel hubs. These components achieve power transmission between different axes through ball joints, providing multi-angle rotation. Automotive ball joint brackets are responsible for securely connecting key components such as wheels, suspension systems, and steering systems, ensuring smooth driving and steering. During vehicle operation, ball joint brackets absorb road impacts, reduce vehicle vibration, and improve ride comfort. Through precise ball joint connections, the car can respond more flexibly to driver commands, improving vehicle handling and driving stability.

[0003] The existing technology still has the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1. Existing automotive ball joint brackets have a problem where the ball joint rotates after prolonged use. This is because after long-term use, a tiny gap appears at the riveting point between the ball joint and the bracket, causing the ball joint to rotate. In this case, the ball joint needs to be replaced, indicating low durability.

[0005] 2. Existing automotive ball joint brackets have the problem that the ball joint base is prone to deformation when the ball joint is riveted to the bracket. At the same time, the bracket installation lacks adjustment space. In the existing technology, the secondary positioning reference hole and the primary positioning reference hole are the same, using a round hole design, which lacks adjustability. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a ball joint bracket for automobiles, which solves the problems of ball joint rotation after long-term use, ball joint base deformation during riveting, and lack of adjustment space during bracket installation.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ball joint bracket for automobiles, comprising a ball joint bracket base plate, a ball joint riveting side plate integrally formed on one side of the ball joint bracket base plate, a limiting groove and a riveting hole provided on the ball joint riveting side plate, a ball joint base riveted to one side of the ball joint riveting side plate, a fixing block fixedly connected to the side of the ball joint base near the ball joint riveting side plate, the fixing block being adapted to the limiting groove, and a ball joint integrally formed on the side of the ball joint base away from the ball joint riveting side plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a mounting base plate is integrally formed on one side of the ball head bracket base plate, and a mounting side plate is integrally formed on one side of the mounting base plate. A secondary positioning reference hole and a primary positioning reference hole are provided on the mounting base plate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two gaskets are provided below the mounting base plate, the gaskets being located below the secondary positioning reference hole and the primary positioning reference hole, respectively.

[0011] As a further aspect of this utility model: the gasket is made of vulcanized fiber paper, and 3M adhesive is provided at the position where the gasket contacts the mounting base plate.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the secondary positioning reference hole is strip-shaped.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By setting a fixing block on the ball head base and opening a matching limiting groove on the ball head riveting side plate, the ball head will not rotate after long-term use after riveting. At the same time, the fixing block can also strengthen the ball head base and prevent the ball head base from deforming during the riveting process.

[0015] 2. By setting integrally formed reinforcing ribs between the ball head bracket base plate and the ball head riveting side plate, and between the mounting base plate and the mounting side plate, the overall structure of the bracket can be made more robust. By designing the secondary positioning reference hole as a strip hole, the installation is adjustable and the adaptation effect is better. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A ball joint bracket for automobiles includes a ball joint bracket base plate 1. A ball joint riveting side plate 2 is integrally formed on one side of the ball joint bracket base plate 1. The ball joint riveting side plate 2 has a limiting groove 3 and a riveting hole 13. A ball joint base 4 is riveted to one side of the ball joint riveting side plate 2. A fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the ball joint base 4 near the ball joint riveting side plate 2. The fixing block 6 is adapted to the limiting groove 3. A ball joint 5 is integrally formed on the side of the ball joint base 4 away from the ball joint riveting side plate 2. The ball joint bracket base plate 1 and the ball joint riveting side plate 2 are integrally die-cast, making the structure more robust. During riveting, the fixing block 6 on one side of the ball joint base 4 is aligned with the limiting groove 3 on the ball joint riveting side plate 2, and then riveting is performed so that the fixing block 6 is embedded in the limiting groove 3. The fixing block 6 not only strengthens the ball joint base 4, making it less prone to deformation during riveting and improving the yield rate, but also prevents the riveting joint from loosening and the ball joint from rotating after long-term use.

[0024] One side of the ball head bracket base plate 1 is integrally formed with a mounting base plate 7, and the other side of the mounting base plate 7 is integrally formed with a mounting side plate 8. The mounting base plate 7 is provided with a secondary positioning reference hole 10 and a primary positioning reference hole 11. The ball head bracket base plate 1, the ball head riveting side plate 2, the mounting base plate 7 and the mounting side plate 8 are integrally die-cast, making the structure more robust. The primary positioning reference hole 11 is designed as a round hole to ensure its installation stability. The secondary positioning reference hole 10 is set as a strip hole, which gives it a certain degree of adjustability during installation and makes it more adaptable.

[0025] Two shims 12 are provided below the mounting base plate 7. The shims 12 are located below the secondary positioning reference hole 10 and the primary positioning reference hole 11, respectively. After the bracket is installed, the shims 12 serve to prevent the bracket from being rigidly connected to the mounting components, making the connection more stable and preventing the bracket from wearing.

[0026] The ball head bracket base plate 1, the ball head riveting side plate 2, the mounting base plate 7, and the mounting side plate 8 are all integrally formed with reinforcing ribs 9. The reinforcing ribs 9 play a role in strengthening the overall structure, making the structure more robust and extending its service life.

[0027] The gasket 12 is made of vulcanized fiber paper. 3M adhesive is applied to the contact area between the gasket 12 and the mounting base plate 7. The gasket 12 is a type of highly rigid processed paper with good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. Applying 3M adhesive to the contact surface between the gasket 12 and the mounting base plate 7 facilitates the fixing of the gasket 12.

[0028] The secondary positioning reference hole 10 is strip-shaped, which allows for a certain adjustment space during installation, making the bracket more adaptable.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] The ball head bracket base plate 1 and the ball head riveting side plate 2 are integrally die-cast, resulting in a more robust structure. During riveting, the fixing block 6 on one side of the ball head base 4 is aligned with the limiting groove 3 on the ball head riveting side plate 2, and then riveting is performed, so that the fixing block 6 is embedded inside the limiting groove 3. The fixing block 6 not only strengthens the ball head base 4, making it less prone to deformation during riveting and improving the yield rate, but also prevents the riveting joint from loosening and the ball head from rotating after long-term use. The ball head bracket base plate 1, the ball head riveting side plate 2, the mounting base plate 7, and the mounting side plate 8 are integrally die-cast. The structure is more robust and well-formed. The main positioning reference hole 11 is designed as a round hole to ensure its installation stability. The secondary positioning reference hole 10 is designed as a strip hole, which gives it a certain degree of adjustability during installation and makes it more adaptable. After the bracket is installed, the gasket 12 plays a role in preventing the bracket from being rigidly connected to the mounting parts, making the connection more stable and preventing the bracket from wearing. The gasket 12 is a high-hardness processing paper with good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and heat resistance. 3M adhesive is applied to the contact surface between the gasket 12 and the mounting base plate 7 to facilitate the fixing of the gasket 12.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of this patent have been described in detail above. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent.
