[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0031] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a high-precision automotive brake front and rear steering knuckles, comprising:
[0032] Steering knuckle body 1 and steering knuckle shaft 2;
[0033] The disassembly-type connecting mechanism 3 is installed at the connection between the steering knuckle body 1 and the steering knuckle shaft 2. The disassembly-type connecting mechanism 3 is used to facilitate maintenance personnel to disassemble the steering knuckle body 1 and the steering knuckle shaft 2.
[0034] The thread protection mechanism 4 is located at the end of the steering knuckle shaft 2 and is used to seal and protect the exposed threads at the end of the steering knuckle shaft 2.
[0035] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a square groove 11 is provided on the front of the steering knuckle body 1, and a hidden groove 12 is provided on the back of the steering knuckle body 1. The inner cavities of the square groove 11 and the hidden groove 12 are interconnected. The design of the square groove 11 facilitates the insertion of the plug block 32 into its interior to movably connect the steering knuckle body 1 and the steering knuckle shaft 2. The design of the hidden groove 12 allows the end of the bolt 34, the alloy pad 35, and the rubber pad 36 to be hidden in its inner cavity, avoiding interference with other accessories connected to this structure.
[0036] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the disassembled connection mechanism 3 includes a shaft connecting seat 31, which is fixedly connected to the back of the steering knuckle shaft 2. A plug-in block 32 is fixedly connected to the back of the shaft connecting seat 31. The plug-in block 32 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the square groove 11. A threaded hole 33 is provided on the back of the plug-in block 32. A bolt 34 is threaded into the inner cavity of the threaded hole 33. An alloy washer 35 and a rubber washer 36 are movably sleeved on the outer wall of the bolt 34. The alloy washer 35 and the rubber washer 36 are fixedly connected on adjacent sides. Both the alloy washer 35 and the rubber washer 36 are located in the inner cavity of the hidden groove 12. The front of the rubber washer 36 is movably connected to the front of the inner wall of the hidden groove 12. When a part of the steering knuckle body 1 or the steering knuckle shaft 2 is damaged and needs to be replaced, the steering knuckle body 1 is first... The steering knuckle body 1 and steering knuckle shaft 2 are disassembled. The bolt 34 is removed from the inner cavity of the threaded hole 33. Then, the plug block 32 can be pulled out from the inside of the square slot 11, thus realizing the function of disassembling the steering knuckle body 1 and steering knuckle shaft 2. Then, the damaged steering knuckle body 1 or steering knuckle shaft 2 is replaced. Then, the plug block 32 is inserted into the square slot 11. Then, the alloy pad 35 and rubber pad 36 are put on the bolt 34. Then, the bolt 34 is screwed into the inside of the threaded hole 33. The design of the alloy pad 35 increases the contact area between the bolt 34 and the steering knuckle body 1, enhances the locking effect, and prevents loosening. The design of the rubber pad 36 allows for flexible contact between the bolt 34 and the steering knuckle body 1, avoiding the problem of squeezing damage to the steering knuckle body 1.
[0037] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5As shown, the thread protection mechanism 4 includes an internally threaded pipe fitting 41, which is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the steering knuckle shaft 2. A first sealing rubber ring 42 is fixedly connected to one end of the internally threaded pipe fitting 41 near the steering knuckle body 1. A second sealing rubber ring 44 is movably connected to the other end of the internally threaded pipe fitting 41 away from the first sealing rubber ring 42. A protective cover 43 is fixedly connected to the side of the second sealing rubber ring 44 away from the internally threaded pipe fitting 41. An externally threaded ring 45 is fixedly connected to the side of the protective cover 43 near the internally threaded pipe fitting 41. The outer wall of the externally threaded ring 45 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the internally threaded pipe fitting 41. After connecting the fittings at the threaded end of the steering knuckle shaft 2, excess material will be exposed. At this time, the internally threaded pipe fitting 41 is rotated and connected to the exposed thread of the steering knuckle shaft 2. At the threaded joint, the No. 1 sealing rubber ring 42 is fitted to the outer wall of the fitting to seal the connection between the fitting and the internally threaded pipe fitting 41. This ensures that the exposed threaded portion of the steering knuckle shaft 2 is enclosed within the inner cavity of the internally threaded pipe fitting 41, guaranteeing the safety of the threads at the steering knuckle shaft 2 and extending the service life of the threads at the steering knuckle shaft 2. Through the design of the external threaded ring 45, the protective cover 43 can be detachably connected to the internally threaded pipe fitting 41. Through the design of the No. 2 sealing rubber ring 44, the connection between the internally threaded pipe fitting 41 and the protective cover 43 can be sealed. This design allows for the selection of an appropriate length of internally threaded pipe fitting 41 based on the length of the exposed threads on the steering knuckle shaft 2, avoiding the problem of the protective cover 43 protruding too much and affecting the installation space of other fittings.
[0038] Working principle: When a part of the steering knuckle body 1 or the steering knuckle shaft 2 is damaged and needs to be replaced, first disassemble the steering knuckle body 1 and the steering knuckle shaft 2, remove the bolt 34 from the inner cavity of the threaded hole 33, and then pull out the plug block 32 from the inside of the square slot 11 to complete the disassembly of the steering knuckle body 1 and the steering knuckle shaft 2. Then replace the damaged steering knuckle body 1 or the steering knuckle shaft 2, and then insert the plug block 32 into the square slot 11. Then put the alloy washer 35 and the rubber washer 36 on the bolt 34, and then screw the bolt 34 into the inside of the threaded hole 33. After the accessories on the steering knuckle shaft 2 are installed, there will be excess part of the thread at the steering knuckle shaft 2. At this time, select an internal threaded pipe fitting 41 of appropriate length and rotate it to connect to the exposed thread at the steering knuckle shaft 2. Then, the protective cover 43 is rotated to the end of the internal threaded pipe fitting 41 through the external threaded ring 45 to protect the exposed thread at the steering knuckle shaft 2.
[0039] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
