The pin rod 100 and the ball head body 1 are an integral molding structure, which can ensure the connection strength and stability between the pin rod 100 and the ball head body 1 and ensure that a large pulling force and torque can be borne in the automobile driving process. The outer diameter of the pin rod 100 is matched with the inner diameter of the through hole in the first wear-resistant bushing 4 and the top connecting seat 2, so that the pin rod 100 can smoothly pass through the through hole and have a certain gap with the through hole, avoiding affecting the normal work of the ball head body 1 due to being too tight or too loose.
[0024] The top connecting seat 2 and the bottom connecting seat 3 are respectively located at the top and the bottom of the ball head body 1 and play the role of connecting other components and supporting the whole spherical shell structure. The top connecting seat 2 and the bottom connecting seat 3 are made of high-strength metal materials, such as aluminum alloy or high-strength steel, to ensure that they can bear various forces generated in the automobile driving process.
[0025] The bottom of the top connecting seat 2 is provided with clamping blocks 7 which are integrally formed with the top connecting seat 2. The clamping blocks 7 are cuboids and their dimensions are accurately designed according to the dimensions of the clamping grooves 300. The top of the bottom connecting seat 3 is provided with clamping grooves 300 which are adapted to the clamping blocks 7. The depth and width of the clamping grooves 300 match the height and width of the clamping blocks 7 to ensure that the clamping blocks 7 can be tightly clamped into the clamping grooves 300. When the clamping blocks 7 are clamped into the clamping grooves 300, the clamping blocks 7 and the bottom connecting seat 3 are fixedly connected by fixing bolts. The fixing bolts pass through the bolt holes of the clamping blocks 7 and the corresponding bolt holes of the bottom connecting seat 3 in sequence, and then nuts are used for fastening, thereby realizing the stable connection between the top connecting seat 2 and the bottom connecting seat 3.

The structure and the function of the second reinforcing ribs 501 are the same as those of the first reinforcing ribs 401, and the second reinforcing ribs 501 can enhance the structural strength of the second wear-resistant bushing 5.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-3 During installation, the first wear-resistant bushing 4 is first heated, expanded and then quickly sleeved into the inner wall of the top connecting seat 2. After cooling and shrinking, the first wear-resistant bushing 4 is tightly fixed on the inner wall of the top connecting seat 2. At the same time, the second wear-resistant bushing 5 is fixed and installed on the inner wall of the bottom connecting seat 3 in the same way.

After clamping in place, the fixing bolts 8 are sequentially penetrated through the bolt holes on the clamping blocks 7 and the corresponding bolt holes on the bottom connecting seat 3, and then the nuts are fastened, so that the fixed connection between the top connecting seat 2 and the bottom connecting seat 3 is completed.
[0036] Working principle: when the ball head body 1 works with the ball pin, friction will be generated on the surface of the ball head body 1. At this time, the lubricant liquid in the first liquid channel 400 and the second liquid channel 500 flows out through the liquid guide hole 600 on the liquid outlet 6, and is uniformly applied on the surface of the ball head body 1, forming a lubricating film, which effectively reduces the friction between the ball head body 1 and the ball pin.
[0037] When it is necessary to supplement the lubricant liquid, the pipe cover on the first liquid guide pipe 403 and the second liquid guide pipe 503 is opened, the lubricant liquid is injected into the first liquid channel 400 and the second liquid channel 500 through the liquid guide pipe, and then the pipe cover is closed, so that the lubricating system can normally operate.
