Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] This embodiment provides a durable ball joint pin, including a pin body 10, one end of which is provided with a ball joint 101, including:

[0037] The outer casing has a ball head 101 connected to it, and an oil filling hole 1221 is provided on the outer casing.

[0038] Bushing 8 is disposed inside the housing and between the housing and the mating surface of the ball head 101. Bushing 8 is provided with a through hole 211 corresponding to the oil injection hole 1221.

[0039] The lubrication component is located on the lubrication hole 1221. The lubrication component passes through the through hole 211 to inject lubricant into the mating surface between the housing 11 and the bushing 8. The lubrication component is connected to a hose 7, which is always connected to an external oil tank.

[0040] Among them, a storage component 4 is provided on the inner wall of the bushing 8, and the storage component 4 cooperates with the ball head 101.

[0041] As can be seen from this embodiment, a durable ball joint pin includes a pin body 10, a housing, and a bushing 8;

[0042] The pin 10 is connected to the housing, and a bushing 8 is provided on the mating surface between the pin 10 and the housing 11;

[0043] Furthermore, the outer casing is provided with an oil injection hole 1221, and the bushing 8 is provided with a through hole 211 corresponding to the oil injection hole 1221. The oil injection component is connected to the oil injection hole 1221, and lubricating oil is injected into the mating surface between the outer casing 11 and the bushing 8 through the through hole 211. The oil injection component is always connected to an external oil tank, so that lubricating oil can be continuously or intermittently injected into the mating surface between the outer casing 11 and the bushing 8 for a long time, thereby improving the performance of the ball head 101 pin.

[0044] Furthermore, a storage component 4 is provided on the mating surface between the bushing 8 and the ball head 101 on the pin 10. The storage component 4 collects and discharges the lubricating oil injected into the mating surface between the housing 11 and the bushing 8.

[0045] By setting the bushing 8, the wear generated between the pin 10 and the housing 11 during operation is reduced, thereby protecting the pin 10 and the housing 11. At the same time, the lubrication component can continuously or intermittently supply lubricating oil to the mating surface between the housing 11 and the bushing 8 through the external oil tank. The bushing 8 is equipped with a storage component 4 to collect the lubricating oil, thereby reducing the cost of use.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] This embodiment provides a durable ball joint pin, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0048] Storage component 4 is an arc-shaped plate, and multiple oil storage tanks 41 are provided on the inner wall of storage component 4.

[0049] As can be seen from this embodiment, the storage component 4 is a circumferential arc plate, and multiple oil storage grooves 41 are provided on the inner peripheral wall of the storage component 4 along its circumference.

[0050] After the lubricating oil is injected into the ball cavity 212, the oil storage tank 41 stores the injected lubricating oil in a throttling manner and inputs it into the ball cavity 212 during the operation of the ball head 101, thereby helping to reduce the cost of use.

[0051] Example 3:

[0052] This embodiment provides a durable ball joint pin, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0053] The housing includes:

[0054] The housing 11 has a through hole 111. One end of the housing 11 is constricted and is set as an output end 112. The other end has an internal thread on a section of the wall and is set as a connection end 113.

[0055] End cap 12, with a connecting protrusion 121 on one side end face, external threads on the wall of the connecting protrusion 121, which are connected to the internal threads on the connecting end 113, and a locking table 122 on the other side end face of the end cap 12, the locking table 122 being hexagonal;

[0056] Among them, a circular boss 1211 is provided on the end face of the connecting protrusion 121. The circular boss 1211 extends to the inside of the through hole 111 and abuts against the bushing 8.

[0057] The oil injection hole 1221 extends from the end face of the locking table 122 to the end face of the circular boss 1211.

[0058] As can be seen from this embodiment, the outer casing includes a housing 11 and an end cap 12;

[0059] The housing 11 has a through hole 111 formed inside. One end of the housing 11 is radially narrowed to form an output end 112, and an internal thread is formed on a section of the inner wall of the other end to form a connection end 113.

[0060] A connecting protrusion 121 is formed on one side of the end cap 12. An external thread is formed on the connecting protrusion 121. When the external thread and the internal thread are engaged, the end cap 12 is fixed to the connecting end 113 through the connecting protrusion 121. A hexagonal locking platform 122 is formed on the other side of the end cap 12. The hexagonal locking platform 122 makes it convenient to use a wrench to fix the end cap 12 to the connecting end 113.

[0061] Furthermore, a circular boss 1211 is formed on the end face of the connecting protrusion 121. The circular boss 1211 extends to the inside of the through hole 111 and abuts against the bushing 8, thereby providing a supporting effect.

[0062] In use, after the pin 10 and the bushing 8 are engaged, they are connected to the housing 11 through the connecting end 113 and extend to the outside through the output end 112. At the same time, the closing structure of the output end 112 will form a limit with the ball head 101. After the end cover 12 and the connecting end 113 are fixed, the circular boss 1211 will press the bushing 8 and the ball head 101 tightly against the closing at the output end 112, thereby achieving fixation.

[0063] The outer casing has a split structure, including a housing 11 and an end cap 12, which facilitates the assembly of the pin 10 for use.

[0065] This embodiment provides a durable ball joint pin, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0066] Bushing 8 includes:

[0067] The main body 21 is spherical and has a spherical cavity 212 inside. A connecting groove 213 is provided on the inner wall of the spherical cavity 212.

[0069] The mating step 23 is provided on one end of the body 21 extending into the inner side of the through hole 111 and is matched with the end face of the connecting protrusion 121.

[0070] The storage component 4 is disposed in the connecting groove 213 and is disposed on the body 21 through the hole 211.

[0071] As can be seen from this embodiment, the bushing 8 includes a body 21, an extended edge 22, and a mating step 23;

[0072] The body 21 is spherical, and a spherical cavity 212 is formed inside the spherical body 21 for assembling the ball head 101. Furthermore, a connecting groove 213 is provided on the inner wall of the spherical cavity 212 for assembling the lubricating component.

[0073] The extension edge 22 is formed on the outer wall of the body 21 at the port of the ball cavity 212. The outer wall of the extension edge 22 is arc-shaped. After the body 21 and the ball cavity 212 are engaged, the extension edge 22 is stuck to the front end of the port of the ball cavity 212. The arc surface of the extension edge 22 is tangent to the outer peripheral surface of the body 21.

[0074] The mating step 23 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the body 21 connected to the through hole 111. By setting the mating step 23, a regular mating surface is formed between the circular bosses 1211 of the body 21, which can effectively eliminate the empty gaps and prevent the bushing 8 from swinging in the through hole 111, thus affecting the use effect.

The sleeve 32 extends through the oil injection hole 1221 and through the hole 211 into the ball cavity 212, and inputs lubricating oil between the mating surfaces of the bushing 8 and the ball head 101.

[0084] Furthermore, the ball head 101 has a notch milled at the front end, which fits inside the ball cavity 212 and forms a cavity 9 at the front end of the through hole 211 for placing the sleeve 32.

[0085] The sealing sleeve 33 is installed inside the oil injection hole 1221 and fits on the outer wall of the sleeve 32. By setting the sealing sleeve 33 to seal the mating surface of the sleeve 32 at the oil injection hole 1221, the leakage of lubricating oil can be prevented.
