Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control arm bushing technology, specifically a control arm bushing. Background Technology

[0002] The control arm (also known as the swing arm) is the guiding and force-transmitting element of the suspension system, responsible for transmitting various forces acting on the wheels to the vehicle body while ensuring that the wheels move along a predetermined trajectory. To better achieve this function, the control arm is typically elastically connected to the wheels and vehicle body via ball joints or bushings. This design ensures both flexibility and sufficient rigidity and strength. Therefore, the quality and performance of the control arm bushing have a significant impact on the performance of the entire suspension system.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN213973490U discloses a bushing for an automotive control arm, comprising a bushing structure. The bushing structure includes an outer frame and an inner frame coaxially disposed inside the outer frame. A rubber layer is disposed between the outer frame and the inner frame. Protective retaining rings with an inwardly concave V-shaped cross-section are provided at both ends of the bushing structure. This automotive control arm bushing, by providing protective retaining rings and limiting mechanisms at both ends of the bushing structure, allows the inwardly concave V-shaped structure of the protective retaining rings to fold inward when the outer frame is impacted, thereby avoiding the problem of the rubber layer being exposed at both ends without affecting the shock absorption function of the rubber layer. The limiting mechanism can effectively reduce the axial movement of the bushing structure after the control arm is installed, improving the stability of this utility model.

[0004] However, the above patent has the following shortcomings: Although the above technical solution can achieve the protective effect of the rubber layer, the rubber layer of this technical solution is fixedly connected to the outer skeleton and inner skeleton by vulcanization. When the rubber layer wears out, the entire bushing needs to be replaced, which increases the maintenance cost. Utility Model Content
