The inability to adjust the distance may lead to inconvenience in installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drive shaft fork to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that certain errors may occur during the assembly of vehicles and mechanical equipment, and the inability to adjust the spacing may lead to inconvenience in installation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drive shaft fork, comprising a shaft body,

[0007] The side of the shaft is provided with a shaft fork body, the shaft is provided with a positioning hole, and a universal joint is installed in the shaft fork body;

[0008] The fork body has a spline shaft on the side near the shaft body, and the spline shaft includes a positioning shaft. The positioning shaft is installed at the end of the spline shaft away from the fork body, and several insertion holes are opened on the spline shaft. A positioning bolt is installed between the shaft body and the spline shaft, and the end of the positioning bolt passes through the positioning hole and the insertion hole. The end of the positioning bolt is threaded with a positioning nut.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the distance between the shaft fork body and the shaft body can be adjusted by sliding the spline shaft within the shaft body. Then, the positioning bolt passes through the positioning hole and the positioning shaft to limit the positioning of the shaft body, the shaft fork body and the entire spline shaft. The positioning nut is used to achieve a fixing effect. Then, the shielding cylinder slides towards the shaft fork body to shield the gap between the shaft fork body and the shaft body.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a shielding cylinder is sleeved on the outer side of the shaft body, and the end of the shielding cylinder near the shaft fork body is inserted into the mounting ring groove opened on the side wall of the shaft fork body.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the gap between the shaft and the shaft fork body is blocked by inserting the shielding cylinder into the shaft fork body.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a receiving groove is provided on the side of the mounting ring groove inside the shaft fork body, and a wedge block is installed in the receiving groove by a spring. A pull rod is installed on the side wall of the wedge block, and the top of the pull rod penetrates through the shaft fork body.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the shielding cylinder is inserted into the mounting ring groove, the inclined surface on the side of the wedge block is lifted up. When the wedge block is aligned with the limiting groove, the spring drives the wedge block to be inserted into the limiting groove. When it is necessary to remove the shielding cylinder, the wedge block can be pulled out of the limiting groove by pulling the lever outward.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a limiting groove is provided on the outer side of the shielding cylinder at the position aligned with the wedge block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning effect of the shielding cylinder is achieved by inserting a wedge block into the limiting groove during use.

[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer sides of the shaft body, the shaft fork body, and the spline shaft are all coated with a wear-resistant coating.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the shaft body, shaft fork body and spline shaft as a whole can be effectively protected.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the transmission shaft fork,

[0019] Equipped with a shaft body, positioning bolts, and a splined shaft, the splined shaft on the side of the shaft fork body is inserted into the shaft body. The positioning bolts are inserted into positioning holes and pass through insertion holes at different lateral positions on the positioning shaft to adjust the distance between the shaft fork body and the shaft body. This allows the overall shaft assembly to be used more flexibly in more equipment, improving the applicability of the device.

[0020] In addition, the drive shaft fork is also equipped with a shielding cylinder, a wedge block and a spring. The shielding cylinder is inserted into the mounting ring groove, and the spring drives the wedge block to lock the position of the shielding cylinder, thereby shielding the connection position between the spline shaft and the shaft fork body and preventing foreign objects from entering.
