Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a tapered bearing limiting structure for use in new energy commercial vehicles and the new energy commercial vehicle itself. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, tapered roller bearings can be used to withstand both radial and axial combined loads, where radial loads are dominant, and axial and axial combined loads, where axial loads are dominant. These bearings are separable; their inner ring assembly (including tapered rollers and cage) and outer ring can be installed separately. To ensure that the tapered bearing mounted on the shaft achieves optimal clearance for its service life, a limiting structure is generally required to prevent positional slippage or sliding during operation.

[0003] In the existing technology, the tapered bearings arranged in the shaft system of the electric drive axle of new energy commercial vehicles follow the traditional shaft system arrangement and are usually limited by snap rings (elastic retaining rings) or locking nuts.

[0004] However, snap ring limiting has a weak load-bearing capacity and is only suitable for small axial loads (generally less than 10% of the radial load). Furthermore, it requires high precision in machining the groove and is unsuitable for vibration or impact environments. Locking nut limiting, on the other hand, increases the axial dimension of the shaft and makes disassembly difficult after assembly, hindering maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0005] This specification provides a tapered bearing limiting structure for use in new energy commercial vehicles and a new energy commercial vehicle, in order to at least partially solve the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] The following technical solution is adopted in this specification:

[0007] This manual provides a tapered bearing limiting structure for use in new energy commercial vehicles, including a main shaft, a folding washer, and a locking bolt;

[0008] The end of the main shaft is a cylindrical structure with internal threads on its inner surface and at least one snap-fit ​​groove on its end face.

[0009] The locking bolt includes a stud and a bolt head. The stud is provided with an external thread that matches the end of the spindle, and the bolt head is provided with at least one flat surface on its side.

[0010] The folding gasket has a through hole, and the inner side of the folding gasket has at least one snap-fit ​​protrusion, which can be inserted into at least one snap-fit ​​groove; the folding gasket can be bent, and the bent portion formed after bending can fit closely with the plane of the side of the plug head.

[0012] Preferably, the strength and / or ductility and / or rigidity of the folding pad are within a preset performance range, so that the folding pad can be bent and the bending radius is less than a first preset parameter.

[0013] Preferably, the edge of the folding pad converges toward a first preset direction, so that the folding pad can be bent toward the first preset direction after being subjected to external force;

[0014] The first preset direction is the direction in which the snap-fit ​​protrusion is provided.

[0015] Preferably, the number of the snap-fit ​​protrusions and the number of the snap-fit ​​grooves are both 2.

[0016] Preferably, the side of the plug head is provided with two planes.

[0017] Preferably, the tapered bearing limiting structure applied to new energy commercial vehicles further includes a bending tool.

[0018] Preferably, the bending tool includes a gripping part and a pressing part that are linked together, for bending the folding pad in response to the user's operation.

[0019] Preferably, the tapered roller bearing limiting structure applied to new energy commercial vehicles further includes a gear hub, a bearing bushing, a bearing gasket, and a tapered roller bearing;

[0020] The spindle is provided with a shoulder, an external spline, and a mounting groove;

[0021] The gear hub is provided with an internal spline that mates with the external spline; the gear hub can be detachably connected to the spindle via the internal spline.

[0022] The inner diameter of the bearing bushing is interference-fitted with the outer diameter of the spindle, allowing for detachable connection with the spindle.

[0023] On the other hand, this specification also provides a new energy commercial vehicle, including the tapered bearing limiting structure for new energy commercial vehicles provided in the above aspect.

[0024] The above-mentioned technical solutions adopted in this specification can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0025] According to the above, the tapered bearing limiting structure applied to new energy commercial vehicles includes a main shaft, a folding washer, and a locking bolt. The end of the main shaft is cylindrical, with internal threads on its inner surface and at least one locking groove on its end face. The locking bolt includes a stud and a bolt head. The stud has external threads that match the end of the main shaft, and the bolt head has at least one flat surface on its side. The folding washer has a through hole, and its inner side has at least one locking protrusion that can be inserted into the at least one locking groove. The folding washer is bendable, and the bent portion can fit tightly against the flat surface of the bolt head's side.

[0026] As can be seen, this tapered bearing limiting structure achieves the limiting of the locking bolt by setting a folded washer with a snap-fit ​​protrusion and a main shaft with a snap-fit ​​groove. It has a strong load-bearing capacity, is easy to process, and can ensure the limiting of the locking bolt even in a vibration environment. Attached Figure Description
