Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of differential technology and relates to a differential with a stable structure. Background Technology

[0002] During driving, cars encounter various uneven road surfaces and impacts. The gears, half-shafts, and other components in a differential have a certain amount of clearance and elasticity, which can absorb and buffer the impact from the road surface to a certain extent, reducing the impact of these impacts on the vehicle's transmission system and body. However, after prolonged use, the differential shaft in the differential is prone to damage due to friction.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN210344209U discloses a pneumatically locking differential, including a housing and a base. A cavity is opened at one end of the housing, and the base is located at the port of the cavity. The transmission mechanism includes a coaxially arranged half-shaft gear one and half-shaft gear two, which are connected by a transmission gear. A shaft hole coaxial with half-shaft gear one and half-shaft gear two is also opened on the housing and the base. The outer diameter of the bushing part is smaller than the outer diameter of the housing. A pneumatic drive component is sleeved on the bushing part. One end of the push component cooperates with the pneumatic drive component, and the other end cooperates with the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism cooperates with half-shaft gear one or half-shaft gear two.

[0004] As can be seen from the specification and accompanying drawings of the patent, in the pneumatic locking differential provided by the patent, the planetary shaft is cylindrical and its surface does not have a wear-resistant structure. After prolonged use, the planetary shaft is prone to damage. Utility Model Content
