For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0044] The embodiments of the present application disclose a connecting structure.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 An embodiment of the connecting structure provided in the embodiments of the present application includes:
[0046] The main hub 1, the split bearing seat 2 (GSC base) and the pre-tightening force assembly 3.
[0047] The main hub 1 is provided with a first clamping structure 11; the split bearing seat 2 can be matched with the main hub 1 in a plug-in manner, and is provided with a second clamping structure 21.
[0048] The first clamping structure 11 has elastic deformation, and / or the second clamping structure 21 has elastic deformation.
[0049] The first clamping structure 11 and the second clamping structure 21 are clamped with each other when the split bearing seat 2 can be matched with the main hub 1 in a plug-in manner, and can be in contact with each other in a separation direction of the split bearing seat 2 and the main hub 1.
[0050] The pre-tightening force assembly 3 is used to provide a pre-tightening force of the first clamping structure 11 and the second clamping structure 21 in the separation direction.
[0051] The connecting structure designed in the application has the following beneficial effects:
[0052] 1. The split bearing seat 2 and the main hub 1 adopt a plug-in matching design concept, which not only enables the two components to be closely combined together, but also, after the plug-in matching is completely in place, the first clamping structure 11 and the second clamping structure 21 with elastic deformation are matched with each other, thereby realizing a firm clamping locking. The locking mode can effectively contact and resist each other in the separation direction of the split bearing seat 2 and the main hub 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the locking. When disassembly is required, only the clamping structure with elastic deformation needs to be deformed, and the clamping matching can be easily released, thereby smoothly completing the separation work of the split bearing seat 2 and the main hub 1. This design not only improves the installation and separation efficiency of the main hub 1 and the split bearing seat 2, but also significantly reduces the installation and maintenance cost.
[0053] 2. By using the pre-tightening force assembly 3, it is ensured that the first clamping structure 11 and the second clamping structure 21 always maintain contact and resistance in the separation direction with a certain pre-tightening force. The application of the pre-tightening force not only enhances the stability of the installation, but also effectively eliminates the assembly error in the separation direction, so that the overall structure after assembly is more compact, thereby saving valuable installation space. In addition, the force provided by the pre-tightening force assembly 3 can accelerate the separation of the split bearing seat 2 and the main hub 1 after the first clamping structure 11 and the second clamping structure 21 are released from the clamping matching, thereby significantly improving the disassembly efficiency and making the entire disassembly process more rapid and convenient.
[0054] The above is an embodiment one of a connecting structure provided by the application, and the following is an embodiment two of a connecting structure provided by the application, which will be specifically described with reference to Figures 1 to 3 .
[0055] Based on the scheme of the above embodiment one:
[0056] Further, as shown in Figure 2 the first clamping structure 11 is an elastic clamping jaw structure, and the end away from the main hub 1 is provided with a jaw hook part 112; the second clamping structure 21 is a clamping groove structure or a step structure, and is clamped and matched with the jaw hook part 112.
[0057] The second clamping structure 21 can also be an elastic clamping jaw structure, and the end away from the split bearing seat 2 is provided with a jaw hook part 112; the first clamping structure 11 is a clamping groove structure or a step structure. The first clamping structure 11 and the second clamping structure 21 can also be both elastic clamping jaw structures.
[0058] It is preferred that the first clamping structure 11 is an elastic clamping jaw structure, and the second clamping structure 21 is a clamping groove structure or a step structure; the matching mode of the clamping jaw structure and the clamping groove structure or the step structure not only has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, but also has firm clamping and is not easy to fall off. The step structure is more convenient to disengage than the clamping groove structure, and it is preferred to adopt the step structure.
[0059] Further, as shown in Figure 2 the first clamping structure 11 is at least two, and is circumferentially spaced around the central axis of the main hub 1. This design can ensure that the connection between the main hub 1 and the split bearing seat 2 is more uniform and stable, and even when a large torque or vibration is borne, a good connection state can be maintained, and loosening or falling off is not easy to occur. The arrangement of multiple first clamping structures 11 can also disperse the stress during clamping and prolong the service life of the connection structure.
[0060] Further, as shown in Figure 2 the first clamping structure 11 is integrally formed with the main hub 1. This integrally formed design not only simplifies the assembly process, reduces production costs, but also improves the overall structural strength, so that the connection between the first clamping structure 11 and the main hub 1 is more firm and reliable. The integrally formed process also ensures the precision and consistency of the first clamping structure 11, thereby ensuring smooth clamping with the second clamping structure 21, and further improving the reliability and stability of the connection structure.
[0061] The number of first clamping structures 11 is 4-12; the spacing III between adjacent first clamping structures 11 is 0.5-3mm. This number of design and spacing setting not only ensures the connection strength, but also avoids the problems of difficult assembly caused by too dense clamping structures and unstable connection caused by too sparse clamping structures. Through reasonable number and spacing design, the connection structure not only has good assembly and economy while ensuring performance.
[0062] Further, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the claw hook part 112 is provided with a first abutting surface 1121; the second clamping structure 21 is provided with a second abutting surface 211; when the claw hook part 112 is clamped with the second clamping structure 21, the first abutting surface 1121 and the second abutting surface 211 are oppositely arranged and can abut in the separation direction of the separation bearing seat 2 and the main hub 1. The design of such abutting surfaces not only increases the contact area during clamping, improves the stability of clamping, but also provides more uniform stress in the separation direction, so that the clamping structure is more stable when stressed and is not easy to deform or damage.
[0063] Further, as shown, Figure 3 the claw hook part 112 is further provided with a first guide inclined surface 1122 at a position away from the main hub 1 of the first abutting surface 1121; the first guide inclined surface 1122 can contact and displace relative to the separation bearing seat 2 when the main hub 1 is inserted into the separation bearing seat 2, so that the first clamping structure 11 deforms.
[0064] The design of such first guide inclined surface 1122 greatly simplifies the installation process, making the insertion of the main hub 1 into the separation bearing seat 2 more smooth. When the main hub 1 is inserted into the separation bearing seat 2, the first guide inclined surface 1122 will contact the separation bearing seat 2 and displace relative to it as the insertion deepens. This displacement will cause the first clamping structure 11 to elastically deform until the claw hook part 112 smoothly slides into the position of the second clamping structure 21 and completes the clamping. This design not only improves the convenience of installation, but also reduces the risk of jamming or damage during installation.
[0065] Further, as shown, Figure 3 the width I of the first abutting surface 1121 is 0.4mm~1.2mm; as shown, Figure 2 the length II of the main body structure 111 of the first clamping structure 11 is 5mm~20mm; the height IV of the first guide inclined surface 1122 is 2mm~5mm; the inclination angle V of the first guide inclined surface 1122 is 20°~60°.
[0066] The setting of these parameters not only ensures the strength of the clamping structure, but also optimizes the form of the clamping structure, making the clamping process more smooth and the connection after clamping more stable.
[0067] The width of the first abutting surface 1121 is reasonably designed, which not only ensures sufficient contact area to withstand the axial force 12000N load, but also avoids assembly difficulty caused by excessive width.
[0068] The length of the main body structure 111 of the first clamping structure 11 is moderate, which can ensure the stability of the clamping structure, and will not increase unnecessary material cost due to too long length.
[0069] The height and inclination angle of the first guide slope 1122 are designed to balance the convenience of installation and the stability of the clamping structure, so that the entire installation process is both fast and reliable.
[0070] The cross-sectional profile of the claw hook part 112 parallel to the central axis of the main rotating shaft can be trapezoidal. In this design, the part outside the connection between the top surface and the main body structure 111 of the first clamping structure 11 can form the required first abutting surface 1121, and the outer inclined surface can form the required first guide slope 1122.
[0071] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the overall structure of the split bearing seat 2 is a structure that has been designed, which is provided with a middle hole 22 for the insertion of one end of the main rotating hub 1. Taking this as an example, the second clamping structure 21 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the middle hole 22. Taking the second clamping structure 21 as a stepped structure, a thickening structure 23 can be provided on the inner wall surface of the middle hole 22, one end of the thickening structure 23 extends to one end of the middle hole 22, and the other end can form a stepped structure with the inner wall surface of the middle hole 22 to serve as the second clamping structure 21. Moreover, the other end surface of the thickening structure 23 forms the second abutting surface 211.
[0072] As shown in Figure 1 , one end of the middle hole 22 is provided with a second guide slope 221 for guiding the insertion of the main rotating hub 1 into the middle hole 22. This design of the second guide slope 221 further improves the convenience of installation. When the main rotating hub 1 approaches the split bearing seat 2, the second guide slope 221 will first come into contact with the main rotating hub 1 and play a guiding role, so that the main rotating hub 1 can be smoothly inserted into the middle hole 22 along the predetermined trajectory. This design not only reduces the error during installation, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of installation.
[0073] The pre-tightening force assembly 3 is a compression spring assembly. The application of the compression spring assembly not only has a simple structure and is easy to install, but also can provide stable and reliable pre-tightening force, thereby further enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection structure.
[0074] As shown in Figure 1 , the application also discloses a wet-type double clutch device, which comprises a double clutch body 4 and a connection structure.
[0075] The double clutch body 4 is assembled on the main rotating hub 1 of the connection structure by interference fit; the split bearing seat 2 of the connection structure is clamped with the main rotating hub 1; and the pre-tightening force assembly 3 of the connection structure is installed between the double clutch body 4 and the split bearing seat 2.
[0076] The pre-tightening assembly 3 can specifically include a first compression spring 31 and a second compression spring 32; the first compression spring 31 is pre-tightened between the first operating part connected between the double clutch body 4 and the separation bearing seat 2, and the second compression spring 32 is pre-tightened between the second operating part connected between the double clutch body 4 and the separation bearing seat 2, and details are not described herein.
[0077] The assembly process of the wet double clutch device designed in the application is as follows:
[0078] The double clutch body 4 is pressed down, so that the main hub 1 overcomes the elastic force provided by the pre-tightening assembly 3 (the first compression spring 31 / the second compression spring 32), the resistance of the first clamping structure 11 of the main hub 1 to deformation, so that the claw hook part 112 of the main hub 1 reaches the position of the second clamping structure 21 and realizes clamping cooperation with the second clamping structure 21, and then the pre-tightening force provided by the pre-tightening assembly 3 is used to axially clamp.
[0079] The disassembly process of the wet double clutch device designed in the application is as follows:
[0080] A sleeve is inserted into the middle hole 22 of the separation bearing seat 2 and clamped at the first guide slope 1122 of each claw hook part 112, then pressure is applied to the sleeve, the claw hook part 112 is extruded to be separated from the second clamping structure 21 through the sleeve, and since there is the pre-tightening assembly 3, the pre-tightening force provided by the pre-tightening assembly 3 can assist the separation movement of the main hub 1 and the separation bearing seat 2, so as to complete the disassembly of the double clutch body 4.
[0081] From the above assembly and disassembly process, it can be seen that the connection structure designed in the application can effectively improve the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the double clutch body 4, the operation is feasible, the economy is good, and has good application prospect.
[0082] The above describes in detail the connection structure and the wet double clutch device provided by the application. For those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the embodiment of the application, the specific implementation and application range will be changed, and the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the application.
