Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of differential assembly technology, specifically a front axle differential bearing outer ring press. Background Technology

[0002] The differential and housing are typically connected by tapered roller bearings. These bearings consist of an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring is press-fitted onto the differential using a press, while the outer ring is press-fitted onto the housing, creating a kinematic pair. The outer ring of the tapered roller bearing is connected to the housing using an interference fit to ensure connection stability.

[0003] To ensure the bearing outer ring can be pressed smoothly and accurately into its predetermined position, the conventional method is to fit the outer ring onto a dedicated press head for pressing. Existing standard presses fix the gearbox housing to the worktable and press the outer ring of the tapered bearing downwards using the press head. However, in actual operation, because the tapered bore of the outer ring is smaller at the bottom and larger at the top, there is a problem where the outer ring cannot be fitted onto the press head, may fall off, and cannot be positioned correctly.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a front axle differential bearing outer ring press to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3As shown, a front axle differential bearing outer ring press includes a worktable 7 with a cavity 8 for limiting the differential housing. Above the cavity 8, a press head 4 is driven to rise and fall by a cylinder 1. The press head 4 includes a fixed base 12, with an expansion sleeve 10 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed base 12. Inside the expansion sleeve 10, a cone block 11 is driven to rise and fall by a telescopic rod 13 to control the expansion and contraction of the expansion sleeve 10. A pressure ring 9, fixedly connected to the fixed base 12, is fitted onto the outer side of the expansion sleeve 10. Specifically, the diameter of the pressure ring 9 is adapted to the diameter of the bearing outer ring, and a gap is provided between the expansion sleeve 10 and the pressure ring 9.

[0025] During the press-fitting of the bearing outer ring, the reducer housing is placed inside the cavity 8, and then the outer ring of the bearing to be press-fitted is fitted onto the outside of the expansion sleeve 10, so that its upper end face is in contact with the lower end face of the pressure ring 9. The tapered block 11 is pushed down by the telescopic rod 13, and the tapered block 11 acts on the inner wall of the expansion sleeve 10 to expand it, thereby limiting and fixing the bearing outer ring. Then, the press head 4 is driven down by the cylinder 1 to press the bearing outer ring into the corresponding installation position inside the reducer housing. After the installation is completed, the tapered block 11 is driven up by the telescopic rod 13, and the expansion sleeve 10 contracts back to its original position. Then, the press head 4 is driven away from the reducer housing by the cylinder 1.

[0026] To ensure safe operation, a pressure sensor 3 is installed between the piston rod of cylinder 1 and the pressure head 4. The pressure sensor 3 detects the pressure applied by cylinder 1 during the pressing process, preventing the pressure from exceeding the threshold and causing damage to the workpiece or equipment.

[0027] To improve the positioning effect of the expansion sleeve 10 on the bearing outer ring, the expansion sleeve 10 has a tapered inclined surface adapted to the bearing outer ring. Preferably, the pressure ring 9 and the expansion sleeve 10 are arranged concentrically.

[0028] Specifically, both the pressure ring 9 and the expansion sleeve 10 are fixedly connected to the fixed base 12 by screws. Screws are used to allow for the disassembly and replacement of the pressure ring 9 and the expansion sleeve 10, making them suitable for press-fitting bearing outer rings of different sizes and specifications. Preferably, the upper end face of the pressure ring 9 abuts against the end face of the fixed base 12 to facilitate pressure transmission.

[0029] To prevent accidents, a protective net 5 is fixedly connected to the workbench 7. An operating window is located on one side of the protective net 5, and safety light curtains 6 are installed on opposite sides of the operating window. Specifically, the workbench 7 is equipped with a controller 2, and the cylinder 1, pressure sensor 3, safety light curtains 6, and telescopic rod 13 are all connected to the controller 2. By setting up the safety light curtain 6, when a part of the operator's body accidentally enters the pressing area, it will block the safety light curtain 6. When the safety light curtain 6 detects that the light curtain is blocked, the controller 2 controls the cylinder 1 to stop operating immediately to prevent injury.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
