DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The drawings are only used for example description, and cannot be understood as the limitation of the patent; in order to better illustrate the embodiment, some components of the drawings will be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of actual product.
[0021] It is understandable for those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings can be omitted. The technical solutions of the utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and examples.
[0022] As shown in the accompanying Figs. 1-3 The inner ball head sensor connecting rod structure convenient to disassemble and replace comprises a connecting rod 1, a ball seat 2 and a ball rod 3, the end of the ball rod 3 is provided with an inner ball head 31, the bottom surface of the ball seat 2 is provided with a fixing cavity 21, the fixing cavity 21 is provided with a sealing part 22, the inner wall of the fixing cavity 21 is provided with a positioning groove 211, and the outer wall of the sealing part 22 is provided with a positioning protrusion 221; the positioning protrusion 221 of the sealing part 22 is clamped into the positioning groove 211, and the sealing part 22 is fixed through the bolt 23 on the side wall of the fixing cavity 21.
[0023] The upper end of the inner ball head 31 is detachably provided with a permanent magnet 311, the inner wall of the sealing part 22 is provided with a first Hall sensor 222 and a second Hall sensor 223 through a quick release assembly 4, the quick release assembly 4 comprises a seat body 41, two clamping jaws 42 are slidably arranged on the seat body 41, a fastening spring 43 is arranged between the clamping jaw 42 and the seat body 41, the fastening spring 43 makes the two clamping jaws 42 have a mutual approaching movement trend, and the inner wall of the sealing part 22 is further provided with a fixing hole 224 corresponding to the clamping jaw 42. First of all, the size of the permanent magnet and the Hall sensor is a microstructure, so it will not affect the original structure and use function of the ball head, and the permanent magnet and the Hall sensor obtain the rotation angle data through the induction of the magnetic field, so there is no mechanical connection structure, and therefore the original structure and use function of the inner ball head 31 are not affected.
[0024] When the permanent magnet 311 is disassembled and replaced, only the bolt 23 on the fixing cavity 21 needs to be disassembled, and then the sealing part 22 is removed, so that the inner ball head 31 is exposed, and the permanent magnet 311 on the inner ball head 31 is replaced; when the Hall sensor needs to be replaced, the clamping jaw 42 is manually moved to make the clamping jaw 42 separate from the fixing hole 224, at this time, the quick release assembly 4 together with the first Hall sensor 222 or the second Hall sensor 223 can be separated from the sealing part 22, and then the new quick release assembly 4 and the Hall sensor are installed on the inner wall of the sealing part 22.
[0025] In some embodiments, the top surface of the sealing part 22 is provided with a buffer recess 225; a buffer spring 226 is arranged in the buffer recess 225; and the inner ball head 31 abuts against the buffer spring 226. Through the above structure, the buffer spring 226 can automatically compensate the damping of the inner ball head 31, improve the use stability and reliability. At the same time, it also avoids the collision between the permanent magnet 311 on the inner ball head 31 and the sealing part 22 in special circumstances, so as to damage the permanent magnet 311 or the first Hall sensor 222 and the second Hall sensor 223.
[0026] In some embodiments, grease is arranged between the ball seat 2 and the inner ball head 31; the bottom of the ball seat 2 is designed with an oil collecting groove 24. The grease can improve the overall sealing performance and practicability. By designing the oil collecting groove 24, the grease at the rotating position of the inner ball head 31 is less likely to be lost.
[0027] In some embodiments, a support block 32 is arranged on the ball rod 3; a dust cover 33 is arranged between the ball rod 3 and the ball seat 2; the lower part of the dust cover 33 is fixed to the lower end of the ball seat 2 through a constraint ring 34. The dust cover 33 is mainly used to prevent dust from entering the connection between the ball rod 3 and the ball seat 2, so as to ensure the stable performance of the inner ball head 31 during long-term use. In addition, the dust cover 33 is fixed to the lower end of the ball seat 2 through the constraint ring 34, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance operation when the dust cover 33 is aged.
[0028] In some embodiments, a hollow weight-reducing groove 11 is arranged on the connecting rod 1. The connecting rod 1 bears the functions of connection and transmission in the chassis, so it bears a large periodic alternating stress. In order to limit the inertial force of the connecting rod 1 and improve the motion performance of the connecting rod 1, the mass of the connecting rod 1 needs to be reduced as much as possible, while the requirements of stiffness and strength must be met to prevent the connecting rod 1 from breaking down during work. Therefore, the weight-reducing groove 11 is arranged to reduce the weight of the connecting rod 1 under the premise of ensuring the strength of the connecting rod 1.
[0029] In some embodiments, the first Hall sensor 222 and the second Hall sensor 223 are arranged in the direction of the ball center of the inner ball head 31, the distance between the first Hall sensor 222 and the second Hall sensor 223 and the inner ball head 31 is equal, and the connecting line of the first Hall sensor 222 and the second Hall sensor 223 is perpendicular to the axis of the inner ball head 31. The data of the first Hall sensor 222 and the second Hall sensor 223 can be used as the basis for judging the magnetic force decay of the permanent magnet 311, so that the permanent magnet 311 can be replaced in time to ensure the accuracy of the angle data.
[0030] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. For ordinary skilled persons in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to exhaust all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
